As for EU companies being shit, I can only laugh. Customer service might be apparently "friendly" in the USA but fuck you if you expect actual compensation for delays or cancellations. There are just zero regulations, so they don't care. They will however smile and call you buddy while explaining to you that they won't do anything and you better not complain again or they'll charge you extra fees. Which I guess has been dubbed as "customer service excellence" elsewhere in this thread.
Regardless, your comment isn't really relevant. I'm replying to the idea that FB has to break the law or they go bankrupt. Well, in that case, they should just go bankrupt. We shouldn't change the law to accommodate them.
That's an oxymoron if I ever heard one. A business is literally an activity that is undertaken for the purpose of profit. There are activities that are entered for reasons other than profit, but they're not businesses.
There is already a UUIDv8. It's defined as vendor-specific UUID. https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-peabody-dispatch-new-u...

Isn't that exactly what you are doing?
Apart from slowing down ever so slightly the oncoming scarcity of resources.
Sure it can. Just use the "Import from Text/CSV" feature instead of directly opening the CSV. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/what-to-do-if-a-d...
The thing is that from the point of view of each individual tool, there isn't even an error! You ask awk to split on commas and give you the second field, it splits on commas and gives you the second field. It opened the file no problem, it didn't run out of memory writing its output to stdout... There were no errors to speak of from what it could see. The "error" is an error in the overall logic of the code.
...no? A constitutional right is one established in the constitution or inferred from the language of the constitution. That's it. Maybe in the US you're focused on the rights in respect to your government, but people have other rights. For example, in my country, I have the constitutional right to go on strike, and my employer is forbidden from retaliating. I also have a right to freedom, property, security, and freedom from oppression. Again, no one, neither the government nor my fellow citizens nor corporations can infringe on these rights.
1. The kth root of x is often denoted x^(1/k);
2. We have convenient shortcuts for the square root and the natural logarithm;
3. Parentheses become a mess;
4. The notation for squares, cubes, etc. is deeply entrenched; does anyone really think that write "x triangle 2 above" (yup, it's a mess to write in ASCII) instead of x² or x^2 would make mathematics less intimidating to everyday people?
5. Having symbols, subscripts, prescripts, and superscripts above the symbol all strewn together is much more intimidating to anyone.
6. How do you nest them? Try to write down log_a(log_a(x)) to see what I mean.
I enjoy 3B1B's videos in general, but this one really only makes sense if you don't think too much about it.
