It’s pretty clear from the comments that nobody read the article. It’s about the use of charitable foundations primarily to avoid paying the same tax that everyone is supposed to pay with the charitable benefit being secondary or, more scan

I was always curious as to whether this is the mechanism by which silverback gorillas get their silver hair. Being in charge must be stressful.

It’s a moderate pain on Linux and then only really that if you’re running on something bleeding-edge like Arch. Otherwise it’s just a kernel module like any other.

Any sign of display rotation under Wayland yet? This is a blocker for me.

So what? The issues it raises are pretty universal.

Depends on the country.

Nope, no point banning the thing the criminals use, because they don’t follow the law anyway. Ban paying ransoms, the corporations are much more likely to follow the law.

It's already on a decentralised system. This is a Usenet group.

It’s usenet, just read it somewhere else. Eternal September is free and likely works fine.

Sure, but the spec usually says things like “Can be dropped 6ft onto concrete”.

Electricity usage is not the main problem with NFTs. It’s the same problem with any blockchain application that isn’t entirely on chain, no way to enforce the link with the real world.

Well that’s what this is saying, some sunscreens contain unacceptably high levels of carcinogens. It’s not a huge logical leap to go from there to some people getting skin cancer from the sunscreen. That doesn’t mean you aren’t also at ris

It’s open source though, there is nothing to stop others picking it up and developing it if that’s what they want to do.

It would certainly simplify the structure. At the moment it's all contracts and metrics and fines and lawyers when things go wrong. Perhaps the end to the ultimate metric for whether operators get fined or not being whether trains are

Exclusive content.

by mnd999 5y ago
It is a bad thing for the consumer because it means more exclusive titles which is gives rise to a false market. It looks like consumers have a choice of platforms with content, but when that content is exclusive the consumer ends up having

What about developers who follow the coding standards because they value consistency over personal preferences?

Lots of good points there, I’m a long time FreeBSD user too and I kinda feel the same about the continuing dependence on Linux in so many areas. I switched to Arch Linux for my day to day a couple of years ago, everything works better. It’s

It’s a shame it’s got less opinionated in other ways. Scala developers must be really looking forward to the endless debates over curly brackets vs white space.

Read the article, in a lot of cases they are not doing anything illegal. But we deport them anyway.

Puff piece. Starlink is fundamentally not about providing broadband to anyone. It’s landgrabbing a finite resource - low-earth orbit space - before it’s worth is recognised by those who should be regulating it. The broadband itself might

Sure if you want to build a business. If you just want to write some code and have a bit of fun with friends and learn a few things then it doesn’t really matter. I built something similar during Covid, another parlour game we call “Colande

The original purpose of copyright was to encourage people to create works. The theory being that of others can simply copy something where is the incentive to do it at all. IMHO, there’s something in that for some classes of works, so I don

For me the setting to even allow them to ask for tracking was off by default. I would have had to have found some buried setting and changed it to even get the pop up. I would have had to be pretty keen on being tracked to do that.
