Yes? I don't understand what is so outrageous about that. Most business decisions are not made by the CEO, and the ones we know are directly a result of him have been poor.

Zuckerberg, as always, is well known for making excellent business decisions that lead to greater sector buy in. The Metaverse is going great.

ToS can change. Companies can (and do) act illegally. Data breaches happen. Insider threats happen.

Why trust the good will of a company, over a box that you built yourself, and have complete control over?

This is an old law that was changed recently. It's no longer needed that you adopt an Icelandic name to obtain citizenship.

Yep, myself as well. I've heard non-English programmers who've worked with non-English codebases call them "very weird".

They've been progressively losing seats in elections for years now. In the November 2024 election, they came out with zero

No, the debt crisis is long over and sorted.

> The sinking of the elephant into snow - how deep is too deep? Should there be snow on the elephant or would it have melted from body heat? Should some of the snow fall off during movement or is it maybe packed down too tightly already?

Should there be an elephant in the snow? The layers of possible confusion, and subtle incorrect understandings go much deeper.

The revolution will not be in the Microsoft Store.

Can you explain what in this particular explanation is clickbait?

Reminded me of this existing https://dayssincelastrustmcserver.com/

Odd, I distinctly remember gas prices on some machines behaving that way in 2012 or so.

All transactions, actually. They're rounded to the nearest 0.05

> Given that this will initially be a niche product, the price will be quite high

It really becomes self defeating when this is your target market. If I can't tell what it is, why would I earmark money for it in the future?

Yes, the title there really confused me for a moment.

No, it does not imply that. Ignorant simply means "lacking knowledge". You're implying the separate term "willfully ignorant" means the same thing as ignorant. If it did, then willfully ignorant would be redundant, which it is not.

Yes? I don't see a problem with this line of reasoning.

> Whereas on Telegram, I'm having fun

I guess I fail to see the need for having fun in a messaging app. Signal covers all my major requirements, Telegram, while fun, does not.

Nor I, I actually live in a country where Amazon mostly does not work. It's how most, if not all major publications talk about Amazon. I see it as part of a narrative of "oh no, anyway", and an attempt to ensure apathy to the whole situation. It's absolutely not an attempt to get us to think critically about how, and from where we consume. If the narrative that Amazon is abusive to their staff, _but we're not going to do anything about it_ like we are told, then we won't think further into other major problems in our western supply chain.

What's in Telegram that you don't see in Signal? Honest question, I only use Signal rather than Telegram.

> Based purely on the responses, who would you hire? Who would you consider for a manager role? Do you even believe this is the same person?

> The altitude of your communication signals your seniority and experience.

It's not mentioned anywhere which is the superior (to the author) response. This article is so vague that, at the end, I still could not tell which one the author preferred.

No, Reticulum does not require a blockchain. My understanding is that Reticulum solves this by allowing network redundancy.

This confused me as well, and made me lose interest. Intentional non-answers like this are rather grating.

Consumer protections in Canada are terrible, but in the very least they're not anti-consumer.

Yes, because in Canada at least, if you terminate your contract, you have to pay out the phone. That's how it's done. Really, it's not a complicated solution.

> There also exist a few stop motion animation films

There's also a stop-motion TV series for kids, with someone who's always doing some sort of handy man task that gets completely out of hand? What's that one called again?

In terms of general TV humor, I've found it rather similar to English humor. Very dry, a great example is the movie Byl jsem mladistvým intelektuálem (I was a teenage intellectual)[1]. Completely surreal, and worth a watch.

I, personally, rather enjoy it all.

Czech children's TV is something else. I've seen some of it too and, to my North American perspective, it feels like a feverdream.

Well, one solution to this would be to include bulk Markov chain generated content on your website. I'm starting to think the only way to fight back against AI scraping, is to make ourselves as unappealing a target as possible. If you get 100 poisoned articles for every 1 good article, you become a waste of resources to scrape.

Simply use a Google Noindex directory on the pages you're using as an attack vector so they don't pollute your website's footprint.

Indeed, MCO has a special place in my heart.

Same story for me. Water in the ear feeling for several days, except it was a punk concert and I was just young and didn't realize. Persistent low ringing in my ears ever since. Now I wear earplugs any time I'm at a concert.

I do, to an extent, blame the venues for concerts for not indicating that hearing damage is possible. At 16, it's not something you would even consider. At the bare minimum, offer earplugs when you're checking tickets. A lot of smaller, grassroots festivals do.
