My problem with e-bikes is my problem with regular bikes. Riding on the sidewalk is generally not permitted and I don't trust drivers in cars to not murder me while driving in the street.
I ride the bus and I can promise you I don't do it because of luxury. Even if that was true, it would only be true in North America. In the rest of the developed world, public transport extends out into rural areas.
This is what I would try. Let Amazon do the fulfillment and pray you sell out before Chinese brands on Amazon catch wind.
Genuinely hate going to concerts would rather listen to my "digital bits" over and over again. I guess I don't get the "essence of music"
Kickstarter will not lose any trust with this decision and if anything they probably gained a decent amount of goodwill from artist and their fanbases.
You say this as if Meta and Microsoft don't also have bottomless pockets.
I mention effort because Microsoft hasn't even tried to put a real attempt into competing with Google on maps before claiming a monopoly. Tried nothing and completely out of ideas must be an impenetrable monopoly. To compare it with the FTC's definition, Microsoft and Facebook are not excluded from competing with Google Maps. You can make a maps app and put it on Android today.
Exhausted with people abusing and misusing the word monopoly. A monopoly and having market dominance are not the same thing. Google has put far more effort into Google Maps than Microsoft ever has into Bing Maps.
He doesn't. It is pretty much a throwaway comment that he quickly moves passed.
At one point in the video, Rossman does imply that he is getting special attention because tech lobbyists (i.e. Apple) are trying to attack him because he lobbies against Apple when it comes to Right to Repair and has done so for years. Not only through criticism on YouTube but in government hearings. Specifically hearings about Right to Repair.
This is wrong and you should just watch the video before getting on your soapbox. Or at least click on it and see the title which almost certainly tells you why.
C++ is heavily customized C. The heavy customization make Redshift a columnar database and more ideal for querying large amounts of data quickly. How does Timescale help Postgres in this area?
Use Postgres with TimescaleDB as a data warehouse.
How does this stack compare to Snowflake or Redshift?
The irony of bypassing the paywall to an article talking about publications dying and how hard it is for publications to make money.
As much as I understand the reasoning behind this thought, I do not agree with it. Yes, my devices are tools and as much as possible, I'd like to keep my tools looking nice. For me, part of that is having a nice wallpaper. I am forced to use a Windows computer at work but you know what? I actually like the new picture they use on the lock screen everyday. It's simply the feeling of "oh that's a nice looking place" and then getting to work.
...this move does feel like they're just going to encourage more and more of the net to be blocked off behind a paywall.
On a personal level I have no problem with this. It's just one way of moderating and curating your community. Not everyone has the time and resources to deal with a free for all.
5 to 12% depending on what plan you get.
Is it? Can't people read your DMs on Mastodon as well? If that is your concern then seems like all things are equal. I'm being somewhat obtuse but I don't see how Mastodon is a reasonable replacement for Twitter.
Why would Spotify allow you to replace payment processor? App developers make this complaint about Apple and Google because the App devs are actually selling something. In this case you are buying a service from Spotify. It literally makes no sense in this case.
There is no good "book" but the fine team over at GDQuest do a lot of written material in addition to their video courses. Their 2D Secrets course is entirely written with no video accompaniment. My suggestion is go through the docs, go through a couple short video courses, then pick up their 2D secrets course. It is the best written material for Godot currently available in my opinion
This still assumes the person in question has the time or desire to tinker around with stuff. Not everyone is a tech geek who wants to tinker around with stuff. What the parent post is saying is these things are off-limits to those people.
You may prefer this model but many people will not and it will only further the moaning and groaning about ads and sponsorships on the web. There is no model here isn't without trade-offs.
I wouldn't call my company reasonably technical and we frequently hit barriers in AWS. Twitter has no chance on AWS.
The Internet would have us believe that civil war is imminent.
The person who could arguably be considered the third most powerful politician in the US just had their own broken into and their spouse assaulted in a suspected act of domestic terrorism. I wouldn't say "imminent" but if you don't think the possibility is at least somewhere on the table I would consider that being naive.
The reality of this type of art is that it’s really easy to make. Most of the “skill” required to do stuff like this is the networking required to find somebody who will pay for it.
I disagree with this. Especially the "really easy to make" part. Is this easy from a technical perspective? Yeah I'd probably say so but I wouldn't think to make this or express an idea in this way. Critics of this art might say that's because I have better taste than the artist here but point is, even if something is "easy," execution is all that matters and I'm not confident most people who say it's easy could execute on it.
In fact, in some countries, there are
Such as?
That's fine and you're welcome to think that. I would throw the baby out with the bathwater and assume the book is trash because it uses a technique you don't approve think is most efficient.
This is where I imagine things are going to get into trouble because how are you going to determine what is AI and what isn't? Especially when Stable Diffusion is directly classifying artist and cloning their signatures and watermarks. What about things that are started with AI and refined by human?
You may disagree with it but mnemonics are very helpful for remembering information that has no relationship to things you already know. I used my own set of mnemonics to learn hiragana and katakana when I first started.
I don't believe they are framing it as if it is not art. The problem they are raising and that it is an AI trained on other peoples' art down to copying their signature making it appear as if it were a genuine piece from that artist and of course yes, they are concerned that they are watching their career die in real time because of it.
