Just nitpicking but is size of the fee ($250k) really relevant?

No there is a war between Reddit management and a number of Reddit users. A certain proportion of users do not care about the API at all.

Was it ever?

Cool. The manufacturers will figure out a way to make nice phones with a longer lifetime.

Because the EU forces them to.

You realise the boundaries are redrawn every few years? So a party that is in power can redraw them to stay in front of demographic change and rebalancing

"All the people"... Do you not realise it's different groups. And you just think it's the "HN crowd"

You might have cancer.

Just as an example of how you might wrongly tell someone they might have cancer

I think the consensus is that your initial statement even with the caveat is incorrect. People do not think that Nginx is a Russian product.

I agree. But there is a novel called Termination Shock written by a fairly well known author about the danger involved in just stopping. Don't understand it myself

Counting comments means nothing when only a biased subset are making comments.

Why? Because we're human. It's part of the human experience to want to talk

So you don't _have_ to replace everything. But there's a compelling economic argument in upgrading the components in the Solar array as better ones become available.

I guess you don't need permits for upgrading to newer components.

Why are you still banking with them?

Great answer. I'm a big fan of wealth taxes.

For the record I was using the word community to mean old people, younger people and the government they vote in. In my country care of older people is organised by local councils (sadly not very efficiently)

That scheme is great but I do worry that the demographics mean there won't be enough carers to go around even when they are paid will.

I really don't like the graphs / diagrams in that article. I feel they need units on the graphs.

And figure 2. is based on data from 2007

And figure 3. is comparing very different things on the same diagram.

If this were an undergraduate project I would not give it a pass.

What are you proposing the community does with the collected money to help the elderly?

You kind of push the ice off the plane from underneath. More efficient

They've (the right wing government) underfunded the government so much there aren't sufficient staff to run the beaucracy. The recent (failed) rocket launch from the UK was massively delayed because of slow government processes

Do you think it's feasible to mine bitcoin to 'export' wealth from China?

Or is there a way to buy bitcoin with Renmimbi?

I wonder what the billionaires do to get their money out? Do they pay people to travel with jewellery that gets sold for foreign currency once it's outside China? Do they overpay for imported goods and get the difference paid into a Swiss bank account? It's always interesting to me how really wealthy people pay for loopholes

Great example because if that text is on your corporate website then someone upstream is not doing their job

Edit: obviously it is English but it's definitely not correct for a company website.

Can you quickly specify what you mean by successful. And which "conservative" societies you were thinking of as successful

I agree with you 99.8%. I think there would be a clause in any short contract where if you were unable to provide the stock at the end then you would be liable to pay the cash equivalent. If the stock had "gone to the moon" you would be bankrupt but if the stock had gone to zero then your payment would be zero (or maybe miniscule)

There are some interesting podcasts about this recorded by the Bloomberg OddLots team. Interviews with the guy who runs https://www.freightwaves.com/ and at least one actual trucker. Lots of other podcasts recently about global issues affecting logistics

There was an interesting sentence in that section. I thought that factors shouldered the non-payment risk but article seems to imply that non-payment would come back and bite the truckers

Truck drivers do a lot more than just sit in the cab and drive.

Sure I guess there are operating models where you don't need one driver paired all the time with one truck but definitely can't just replace drivers IMHO

So you're refusing to name the "convenient reference for an entire school of thought"??

I guess I'll see if Google can enlighten me

Really unclear comment. Who are you talking about

That was published in 2020. It doesn't feel like the root cause of the opinions being voiced in the comments.

Come on that's half an answer! Is this something you've known for ages? Is it something you remember learning from adults when you were growing up? Why do you personally have an opinion about this at all?
