No, you cannot retroactively make something a crime as you have found.

That way lies madness.

If the govt could do that, they could arrest anyone, anytime simply by making whatever they did yesterday retroactively illegal.

It’s not clear to me what the changing colors of the words mean as I scroll around?

Voting is just one way people engage in the political process.

News consumption impacts political decision making, like who I want to support or oppose in local, state, and national elections.

That seems a pretty high impact decision we want all the members of our society to be making on a regular basis.

I wish the same rule applied to their site design. It’s 90% ads on mobile, almost completely unreadable.

“There are only two hard things in computer science. Cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors.”

This feature will be available on Teams desktop applications (both Windows and Mac) and Teams mobile applications (both iOS and Android)."

Seems like it’s even easier, just join the meeting via browser.

I’m not familiar with a way to enforce this type of restriction in the browser.

My immediate thought was college kids on campus.

It’s basically your apartment building example (esp. something like the STEM dorms)

When this stuff breaks in the hours leading up to a homework assignment being due, it’s going to discourage the next generation of engineers from using it.

There are bunch of tabletop wargames, but Warhammer has the network effect going for it.

If you want to go the local hobby store and play a game, most other people are playing Warhammer, that’s what you play too.

You might prefer Bolt Action, but if nobody else in town has a Bolt Action army, it’s an uphill climb.

I recently attended a big Wargaming convention. While all sorts of games were present and being played, 40K has orders of magnitude more people playing it.

How are the SIPC premiums being paid?

Let’s say I invest $250k with you. From my research it appears the SIPC premiums on that amount would be more than $12/year.

How does that work?

Also consider that a good judge is doing a useful service to society, but isnt necessarily in the business of maximizing other people’s happiness.

One major point I don’t see addressed, are endorsements public or private?

I could see major (but different) issues with both scenarios.

That was my question as well. What is the user benefit of the monitor having a network connection?

Based on my reading of the article, this change would not start showing you Elon’s tweets if you have him blocked.

What it would do is allow Elon’s feed to show everyone, and not have holes in it from people who have blocked him.

I think the idea is that CrowdStrike doesn’t run in user space.

If an Nvidia driver had bricked the machines, would that be MS fault or Nvidia fault?

I’m not following your line of reasoning, can you clarify?

Is the argument that it was MS responsibility to bake something like this in at the OS level? And if they did it would be more robust?

I’m not sure I agree. MS has already gotten in trouble for monopolistic practices before, so from a legal standpoint, I’m not sure that’s the best course of action.

I don’t see how this is Microsoft’s fault or issue.

MS can’t prevent a software vendor from breaking the machine.

> rebelled-against emojis, meaning the emojis that people use for different meanings than what their title suggests they mean. The top emoji people don’t use as intended is the persevering face, with only 5% using it as intended and the majority using it to signify frustration

I’m willing to bet money that less than 5% of the people using the Eggplant emoji actually mean eggplant.

Isn’t the claim that the issue is long term safety?

Saying “there is no immediate safety of flight issue” kinda dodges the question.

Perfect PR language

I love these sorts of unintended consequences.

I suspect it will be changed rather quickly once large business travel customers catch on to that particular loophole.

It’s best to ignore daily stock market fluctuations.

Focus on the long term.

I dont know about the details of this particular painting, but Rarity here could refer to something like the type of paint used, the size, or even the subject matter or time period.

It’s not clear to me, but can usernames be reused?

Let’s say I create a username and then later delete it as they suggest.

Can someone else then create the username and continue the conversation?

Is there a means to know if I’m talking to the same “Bob.smith.123” I was a few weeks back?

A classic. I read it again every couple of years or so.

The idea of trying to piece things back together after the apocalypse always resonated with me

Can you post what a $14,000 SQL query looks like?

If nothing else, it can be an example in my SQL 101 course.

Insightful solutions aren’t always correct solutions.

Take a look at how Excel helpfully makes things dates or numbers, even when you don’t want them to be treated as such.

There’s no “insightful” way to understand that a column of numbers really wants to be treated like text or that 20-DEC-82 is a product code vs a date.

So, you gave someone your credit card number without understanding how or what they were going to charge you for?

I don’t think so, because their are always ambiguities with CSVs

Do they have a header? Is the data properly escaped? How are blank values at the end of the row handled? Etc, etc

Amazon shipping in my area used to be 2 days, but no longer.

Now it’s generally 4 working days, sometimes more.

Almost all the services I’ve used Amazon for in the past keep getting worse. Prime shipping, video, Amazon music, etc

More specifically, the total revenue of ads + the people willing to pay $3/month is greater than the revenue lost when people cancel their service due to ads
