Contrast? We've heard of it!

The high street shops rush to close before anyone working a 9-5 schedule can go there and spend money. The stores in retail parks, even the exact same ones whose high-street branches haven't gotten the memo that trading hours were deregulated decades ago, are open several hours later. I don't think I've ever seen a high-street shop in England outside of London that's small enough to have fully deregulated hours on Sunday actually take advantage.

German high-street retail establishments are open a ton more hours every week despite not being allowed to open on most Sundays.

Only the XSLT that ships with browsers.

Even if you do need admin for a developer laptop, that has no bearing on the PAW you use to authorize deployments and otherwise interact with production systems. Assuming your employer is even a quarter competent (i.e., not Binance).

Your version is marked as rejected three weeks ago. The screenshot is of a version that was adopted today.

This statement may end up true, but not for the reason he thinks.

It's hard to convince a court to order specific performance, and this is not the sort of case where it's at all likely to happen.

The seller was performing the unnecessary procedures and the practice value was based on that revenue. The buyer was ethical and therefore revenue was lower than expected.

They said millionaires would flee when Massachusetts implemented an income tax surcharge. The amount collected from that tax was in fact more than expected.

If the wealthy in California were willing to give up quality of life to save an amount that's not very meaningful to them, they'd have already moved to Texas. Or North Dakota. Or even Washington, which is an actual small-government state without a personal income tax.

All my Linux ISOs are actually FreeBSD.

And then the front fell off. The data center had to be towed outside the environment.

For math classes where the instructor requires you to upload the work I use OneNote on my desktop (copy in the homework problem) and tablet (do the work).

Cool kitty.

The Speed Editor debuted at $295, so the same as a Resolve Studio license except you got the free keyboard.

Especially since it would be compared to X.400.

Undocumented immigrants "raised local house prices and rents without expanding housing supply" — obviously, since local governments of both parties hate anyone who doesn't already own and make it illegal to build more housing. Not an immigration problem, although obviously the Trump administration is trying to make it more expensive to build by deporting anyone brown regardless of whether or not they're lawfully present (or even a citizen), tariffs, and pretty much the entire scope of Project 2025.

US lawyers keep filing LLM-generated pleadings and refuse to check citations. It's taken state discipline committees a long time to get there, but they're close to figuring out that any option other than prompt disbarment just increases the pain for people who are actually qualified to practice and doesn't noticeably increase the number of practitioners who see the error of their ways.

The ABA will eventually make sure that this behavior is identified in law school and people who don't want to take responsibility for what they file are expelled well before graduation, but in the meantime there are a ton of screwups in the profession and all you can do is kick them when they identify themselves.

It's been common knowledge for a long time. Just not in the population of people who set up agents and hand them personal credentials.

No; if you try to do this you don't launch in the first place because the amount of servers required to be useful can't be cooled within your payload budget.

That's the neat thing: you don't, or at least not in the megawatt range. A kilowatt can be done with radiative cooling but doesn't get you far with a hypothetical datacenter satellite.

A few family, a few friends, some past work numbers, some of my phone numbers from a decade or two ago when I occasionally changed them, the Apple switchboard because I might have bled in six colors a long time ago, and of course Jenny because if not for her I'd have no clue whose phone number to give to the grocery store checkout system.

Lack of applications. They decided to fix that by adding an Android subsystem, and nobody wanted to publish their Android applications to the Amazon store even with Amazon throwing gobs of money at publishers and only some APIs having been moved into Google Play Services.

Getting an EE degree is always an option — but since CS isn’t an engineering degree getting a second bachelor’s will take four years part-time.

I’m doing that now at ASU and the total requirement for me is 71 semester credits. Maybe I could have found a program for which I only needed 60ish, but that’s the only program in the country with part-time remote classes that will cover what I need (antennas and RF). Someone who is interested in digital design will have more options. (And I haven’t really looked at other countries so YMMV considerably outside the US.)

How did Microsoft and OpenAI force their hand? Google could just as easily not waste money on AI, use the corresponding lack of notice-me-sempai demands from their products that their users use AI everywhere as a powerful differentiator, and deliver the difference to shareholders.

Your position assumes facts not in evidence. If the administration wanted to rebuild American manufacturing, the last thing they'd do is pile on additional taxes on manufacturing domestically—which is exactly what their tariffs do.

An administration that wants to rebuild American manufacturing would decrease tariffs, not increase them. They'd eliminate the chicken tax, the Buy America Act, the Jones Act, and every other regulatory instrument that encourages domestic manufacturers to milk captive customers for all they can rather than make products that customers want to buy.

They'd also finish metrication ASAP, increase investment in technical education, implement universal healthcare coverage, modernize payment systems, and so on. You'll note that the Trump administration wants none of the above.

Surely if the ATM were to taunt you it would use C, or maybe JavaScript.

Except American Express, which does have foreign currency fees (on some cards).

The primary goal of the Trump administration is to destroy American manufacturing. They don't want factories, hence all the tariffs.

If he wants to be treated as a POW rather than a spy should he be captured.

And IBM could have been AWS a decade earlier had they so chose.
