Maybe that keeping that FPTP thingy isn’t the brightest idea.

I said it before and I’ll it again, the best solution for this is to have a standard API where device admins can optionally set a age group, and that treats an unset value as signalling unrestricted access. This is so simple it’s almost impossible to fuck up, parents get a parenting tool, most people can just ignore it, and big brother can go on a long vacation.

The villages I clicked at random were added 7 years ago.

Apple Maps's main data source is OpenStreetMaps which definitely has the villages. So it doesn't matter when the villages were removed, someone at Apple went out of their way to do it.

But this was already the case. When someone submitted code to Linux they always had to assume responsibility for the legality of the submitted code, that's one of the points of mandatory Signed-off-by.

How does the phone confirm the payment without a network? With NFC the phone has a low bandwidth connection to the payment terminal that’s enough to sign the transaction.

Do the QR codes work without internet? The NFC payment schemes do.

Would there even be a point to making a fake post? He can come up with stuff that's far more unhinged than anything a _compos mentis_ person can, and he does it on regular basis.

The conflict of interests regarding the online version of Libreoffice was already bad enough even without a legal case looming over it. While, pragmatically and unfortunately, big open source projects need to involve commercial partners to scale, depending on a single commercial partner is always a recipe for disaster.

There are steel plates for that purpose. I have one for cookware that’s not induction friendly, and it works fine, it’s just not very convenient.

It's not that linear. Some background services will cache more things in RAM if memory usage is low and release it if total usage goes above a threshold, for example.

There are hacky solutions but most are illegal and the side effects aren’t worth it.

Email headers need to be unencrypted, unless they had a proprietary "almost like email but not interoperable" protocol. Signal doesn't have payment info for most users because it's free to use, but for donations they need to store payment data too.

I’m not saying it’s a good individual metric. In fact, applying individual metrics to developers (or most workers really), will only land you in Goodhart’s hell. But as part of holistic operational health tracking, it’s a useful team level metric, as there is ample evidence that shorter PRs tend to result in less operational issues. And, of course, this is only valid if you don’t try to tie financial rewards to it, otherwise people will forget that shorter PRs is a proxy measure for how easy changes are to review and rollback.

I wouldn't say PR size is a bad metric, you usually just need yo read it the opposite of how sloppers do it, i.e. the most productive PRs are short and focused.

My bet is that simple CLI apps will kind of work but having a graphic environment would just freeze.

Not happening unless a major economy forces Google to give it away. Their business depends on being able to sabotage adblockers.

And on most tech companies, "clothed" counts as business casual. Chinos with sneakers and a t-shirt is a way of saying you are looking to be promoted to a management role.

Is the business a tech company or a bank?

People that buy commercial displays won’t tolerate adware on their monitors. Can you imagine having a screen in a store and it suddenly displaying ads that are not for what the store sells itself? This ensures there will always be an healthy demand for ad free displays.

Some premium brands like Bang & Olufsen sell TVs without adware, I think Panasonic TVs are mostly ad-free for now. Outside of that, most big brands will have “professional” or “commercial” product lines that also don’t have ads. But in all cases you’ll have to pay extra over the TVs subsidized by ads.

Regarding what Bernie calls the risks “robot soldiers”, I think the Star Trek episode A Taste of Armageddon should be mandatory viewing. War is not always avoidable, but it becomes less so if the costs of fighting it are perceived as small.

That goes back to the original Luddites. They weren’t anti technology per-se, they were were anti oligarchy.
