Its hardly a report. It is at best a rumor. My strategy with any apple news: ignore it until its released or said from the horses mouth. Remember the iphones that had clickwheels like ipod rumors prior to the iphone? Thats what I consider t

Ha, I have the same setup, samsung tv and a shield. The tv's never been updated since I bought it, never configured wifi and there isn't any open wifi around for it to try to connect to. Smart tv's aren't smart enough to

Sometimes I just pull up the youtube app on my iPad no ad blockers work on there. And if I'm making food, I honestly don't worry as much about the ad. But a 10 minute ad for a 2 minute video? Even then i'll download the video

I work around this with an ipsec vpn to home. Dns is setup on my router with unbound, I just point to that. When at a coffee shop or any untrusted network, I vpn into home.

Additionally, it could point to active malfeasance if they start to selectively not rollout in CA. I don't think it would be too hard for a lawyer to pick apart any argument that the rules are that onerous that they can't upgrad

Fair enough, but I guess I don't see a difference between rewrite sqlite in rust and, make something exactly like sqlite, with a c ffi but in rust.

by mitchty 9y ago
You're free to do so, as is anyone. But you'll have to overcome and provide a good reason for why anyone using sqlite should move to your new unproven shiny. If anything sqlite is a poster child for c done (and tested/validat

Seems like a distinction without a difference to rewrite "sqlite in c" to "not sqlite but sqlite-like in rust or go".

If they want to operate in America, they'll have to care about what the FCC says. And since they're an American company, skirting around the FCC's approval could mean this startup is about to shutdown.

America refers to The United States of America. Same as we don't refer to Mexico all the time as Estados Unidos Mexicanos. I don't approve of getting upset over turns of phrase online. Principle of charity.

My viewpoint on number one is simple: I'm always wrong Easier to move forward with that default assumption and try to prove I'm not as wrong as I thought and that "right" is the wrong attitude to hold.

Atheism is a category. Aka those without diety is the literal definition. Just as it would be wrong of me to say "All deists believe in the same god, that is why they don't take belief in different dieties seriously", its wro
