nothing really great yet, but i'm hopeful for kotlin multi platform and compose

Nvidia has burned its bridges with a lot of companies over the years (Microsoft comes to mind, i'm pretty sure they will never use an nvidia chip inside an xbox ever again)

how many US companies rely on ARM being a neutral party though?

while you might win a little on one side of the ledger how much would you lose on the other?

I'm not sure you would find censorship of terms like “Democratic Movement” and “Long live Taiwan’s independence.” on Other platforms.

not sure if you're intentionally comparing things like child porn to democracy as equally deserving of censorship but that's how i read it.

Lambda's seem like one of the least interesting features of kotlin. There's so much more going on in the kotlin world than lambdas.

it seems to me that kotlin is leading the way and java is following, but the delta between them is quite large and possibly growing.

i've often wondered this myself... non profits with ludicrous executive salaries...

Sure... but what happens on the other side of these unusual market conditions?

I'm sure there were others, but it does seem that the products from the sacklers were the main ones responsible.

> the doctors, and the patients themselves. Doctors are considered to be experts, and patients are often breaking the law when they misuse opioids.

The doctors were fed dodgy studies and information that what they were prescribing was safe. And you can hardly blame a patient who receives pain treatment and gets addicted to opiates when they were also informed they were safe.

This is disgusting. Basically outright admitting that there are a class of people who are above the law. I wish i were surprised.

Knowingly peddle highly addictive substances, lie about their nature, kill millions, destroy countless lives, and get to keep billions of dollars. it is just hard to fathom.

America will be suffering the consequences of these actions for a generation.

agreed.. i would think it would be much more effective than geoblock.

> If you are a parent and lose a child then you would want every possible avenue taken to find your child. You would be going mad wanting to find them. If there is a way to match photos to known missing children then I say it should be at least tried.

the problem with this argument is that you can use it to justify basically anything.

people can benefit from doing the wrong thing in any economic system, and therefore will. This is a problem of law and enforcement.

Intel would probably be keen.

got a source for that? sounds hard to believe.

what if we started embedding wifi absorbing mesh into outer walls i wonder?

i'm just struggling to find the link between capitalism and ECC memory.

i don't see what's hard to understand, get access to your competitors data, use that data to cherry pick and create competing products on your own platform with an inherent home field advantage. boom competition dead.

I feel like kotlin is a much better language than dart, has many more use cases and compiles down to javascript also.

I agree, how thin skinned are people? this seems like valid criticism that wasn't acted on in two years. What is an appropriate 'tone' in this case

Not my experience, they seem like proud Americans, but i'm an outsider. It was during the Obama era and they seemed quite chuffed to tell me Obama was born in hawaii.

I wonder what they'd say if you asked them if they'd like to leave the USA?

Trust me, the vocal minority there are extremely sheltered, self centered and live in a weird unreality. The majority of employees who come from the real world aren't that bad but also tend to keep quiet.

I often think that people who spend too long at the top of maslow's hierarchy of needs just end up losing touch with reality.

i wonder when we'll see some good UI frameworks that eschew CSS/HTML in favour of writing pixels directly to the screen

Dude have you been to hawaii? their culture is very much in tact and proud. Not only that but locals have special rights and privileges over mainlanders not the reverse.

you should release vulkan for proton / linux users i think

Apple cares about their bottom line, they're privacy focused only because it works for their business model.

If they stopped being anti right to repair then maybe i'd be interested.

I haven't used EMule in a long long time, is it still useful? does anyone use it regularly?

Does Microsoft get a 30% cut of all subscriptions and items bought via apps on Xbox?

I took a quick look at the code, it's nothing alike.

It seems they have people submit solutions to the problem and compare the fastest implementation for each.

censorship and spying by the CCP is an important issue, but i don't understand why anyone should let chinese apps operate in their market when china doesn't reciprocate.

the trade issue alone is enough for me to support banning it the rest is just noise.
