monkeywork

I don't think RHEL/IBM cares about the small losses on CentOS/Rocky/Alma/etc what they found was hurting them was companies like Oracle

When we are talking about a massive % of the total share count there simply isn't that many "sell" requests out there for you to take advantage of.

For small-time consumers who are buying a few shares here and there - it will appear like there is always some available, but when you are talking about a majority share of the company there isn't that availability sitting there waiting to be just taken.

This youtube video addresses the situation pretty well - I found it very interesting the talk about the earths crust basically recycling.

The Red Rising series is also very good.

This is one of the features of HN that I appreciate most. The lack of notification means that you don't (typically) get a ton of back and forth sniping arguments like you do on sites like reddit.

I find this makes people put more effort into their first comment and keeps the arguments lower.

Since you seem to be a stickler for rules and agreements I'd urge you to re-read the guidelines for posting comments on this site (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html) as looking through this thread you are definitely flirting with the edges of them.

I'm not sure why piracy is the internet hill you've decided to die on regarding arguments but I'm going to choose to disengage, give zero cares to your views on my morality, and use my own best judgement on when it's moral to pirate or not.

"the actual internet" ??

Umm you do realize that some of the greatest works of art were created LONG before "IP" was a thing right? The patronage system did pretty well....

It feels like you are saying this out of spite rather than with a good reason - but I'm open to listen if you have one.

Sounds like they would like to have the devices but have a hard time pulling the trigger for a fear of sinking money into to something temporary.

You look at how many people "quit" twitter over the last year - if even a quarter of those people legit just walked away (either to a different service or left that aspect of the net behind) the social media landscape would be much different right now.

True

>Google is trying to argue that its a violation of their terms of service to close your eyes and plug your ears.

Google can have any terms of service they want - it's their service, if you don't like the terms don't use the service?

> It's a violation of my person to try and detect whether I'm not paying attention to your ad.

No it's not.

There are methods (due to various regions having various prices) that one can find YTP cheaper than listed - but I'll leave that up to people to explore.

You can make the claim about Apple due to the financials being public - you can't make the same claim about OpenAI unless you have insight the rest of the public doesn't have. "facts are facts"?? what facts do you have here?

>Also, you probably don't know that but..the Apple 1 and 2, were designed by Wozniak, not Jobs, Jobs hated them

I'd be shocked if a significant portion of the hacker news audience wasn't aware of who Woz is and the basic high level history of Apple.

That I have seen

Honestly if he gets this working really well (especially on linux / steamdeck) this could be an excellent aquire + hire by valve.

This video shows a good demo of it with Halo on Steam.
