Can't believe there are people saying AMD hasn't been CPU relevant for over a decade, when this one is Q1 2009 and the Phenom II 975 is Q1 2011 (6 years old this year).

Outrage is perhaps not the right term.

It's important to keep in mind that Apple, being a business, is doing exactly what the primary function of a business is - making money. Reducing tax burden is effectively making money they otherwise wouldn't have.

So while as a consumer and citizen I'm happy that Apple is being held to account, I agree with your concern that not even Apple, having gone to such lengths to ensure that such an approach is ostensibly a legal and legitimate method of doing business, can effectively have the authority turn around and say "We change our mind, you owe us fourteen billion dollars." It creates much uncertainty in the legal and administrative processes.

I would prefer to see them simply close the hole for future endeavours.

This is something I like about AI in the context of video games; the technology has improved, the complexity has increased, but the meaning of AI in this context has stayed constant.

The same can't really be said of AI in most other contexts, where the goalposts continually seem to move to whatever is currently just beyond our reach.

I thought "cost" was one of the simpler concepts - the price at which the store bought the item from the supplier.

During my migration from GApps (prior to G Suite), I used this tool. I performed an initial migration before changing my MX records, then followed up a few days later with a second (partial) migration to pick up a few slackers.

I found the tool to be fast, comprehensive, and the partial migration was very effective.

I don't believe he directly requested a comparison. What he asked was why the commenter above him chose not to. You seem to acknowledge that in your second sentence, but then go on to state that his comment is reminiscent of asking questions one could answer themselves - asking a commenter why they chose (not) to do something doesn't strike me as answerable by a second or third party.

Genuinely curious to hear if that "gitignore had a typo" 10k bill has a story behind it!

And this is exactly why we're running out of publically available IPv4 addresses.

Even if you're paying for G Suite, my experience has been that it's tough to get a hold of a human Googler.

Agreed, for this particular point it's less about small business vs. Google and more about small business vs. users. Google stepped in and saved a lot of users a lot of time and effort. I'm not sad that it's tougher for businesses to consume my time while I'm cleaning my inbox out, I can go over the promotional stuff when I actually want to.

LetsEncrypt actually has multiple options available for validation. Only one challenge type, http-01, requires port 80 to be open. Another, tls-sni-01, requires port 443. dns-01 requires configuration of your DNS provider. I personally make use of tls-sni-01 and dns-01 in different situations.

When that happens, I fully expect that as the value of available domain names go up, people will invest in expensive domains (blah.com) in order to treat them as "2LD"s and sell its 3LDs (xyz.blah.com). But it won't happen while there are 2LDs available for the exact reasons stated above (nobody wants a subdomain when they can have an actual domain).

It's not a backdoor because there is nothing bypassing the security of your iPhone.

All the data supplied comes from Apple's records, not your phone. If your phone was destroyed one day, and law enforcement requested this information the next, Apple would have no issue supplying it. They're not going to simply "not keep" records of your iTunes transactions and account details, for example.

Your complaints regarding the inability to use their product in a meaningful manner without letting Apple collect this data have merit.

The problem is changing Linux files that are currently stored in %localappdata\lxss\ using a Windows tool.

Changing Linux files that are stored in C: and are accessed in Windows from C: and in Linux from /mnt/c/ is fine.

If it's truly gigabit, that will be pretty nice, but I doubt it'll obsolete your fibre. For satellite internet, "low latency" is not a very difficult threshold to meet.

Wouldn't it be more accurate to say that Google does not license the Google Play Services to be bundled by OEMs who sell custom Android forks?

Nobody claimed it was anyone else's fault, that's already well established. The entire premise of this thread is to discuss OP's plea for browsers to actually fix the problem.

Part of me was disappointed to find NXDOMAIN.

Exactly - given the prevalence of "psychopath" in common conversation as violent, unreasonable etc., perhaps I should have specified further or instead used "sociopath".

This may sound weird, but have you tried asking for more money instead of less?

When I started out here in Australia I asked for very little, comparatively, and got an equivalent amount of work. It wasn't until I asked for more than I thought I was worth that people actually started hiring me.

I feel like any company large enough to have a significant HR department won't count as a "rational human being". They'll probably fall into the "psychopath" category by virtue of dispassionately and emotionlessly assessing how much of a liability you are to them if you're willing to demand they make counter-offers.

Now we just need a Dockerized application called "Hyper" and you can schedule Hyper on Hyper from your Hyper window.

Even getting entirely away from the argument that ad networks can host malicious code, it's quite simple. I send a burst of information to a server. The server sends a burst of information back. I then decode the information to reveal a set of instructions.

Demanding that I execute all these instructions without exception is like a subscription service sending me a newsletter in the mail and demanding that if I pick it up, I've somehow agreed to read the whole thing, beginning to end, out loud. Absurdity.

I would find this pretty useful on occasion. Not to mention, it makes more sense to me than selling cheap wildcards, because now you've got a product, and you're potentially encouraging poor security (as pointed out by other commenters in this thread). Seems much more aligned with the goal of Lets Encrypt in the first place.

I'm using Caddy for almost all my personal projects, with the exception of those setups that are too complex to replicate in a Caddyfile.

I think we're all just waiting for people to really test its performance under heavy loads and give it a chance to prove itself (or not).

Looks like your friend is serving a herokuapp.com certificate for his meetspaceapp.com domain. Should really get that fixed.

A minor gripe with your comment, but as a programmer conceivably must be human, both conditions are satisfied when a programmer is capable of reading it.

Market share might be a ridiculously small percentage overall, but it's never appropriate to dismiss compatibility outright.

Reasons to include inefficient code for compatibility reasons might include applications where maximum reach is valuable, or where the scale is so large that the "infinitesimal market share" percentage plays out into thousands of end users.

I'm soft trialling Fastmail at the moment (forwarding all email from Gapps directly to Fastmail). I will probably change over my MX records soon to make it official.

One thing I don't like is that their Android client which supports push notifications (a feature I personally valued in Gmail) also has some weird UX.

For example, the message actions bar within the "view message" pane. At first, I wasn't aware it existed. I thought you had to archive/delete messages from the inbox by swiping it! I only discovered it by accident when my finger missed a link in an email. It seems like it appears when you tap somewhere in the message itself, and it appears over the top of the bar that holds the message title and the back arrow.

Very silly in that regard, but otherwise quite solid. Their servers, service, and desktop offering are great and I found their pricing quite reasonable.

> There is no reason to do that if the goal is just to provide best experience on supported OS.

I don't believe it's accurate to say there's "no real reason", it seems like enforcing this behaviour is very much aligned with the goal you've posited.

This is under the assumption that this was indeed done for the purpose of ensuring Intel specific drivers are used for power management purposes.
