This is a funny cope.

Believe it or not, full screen apps are a Windows thing.

Nope. It’s just that maximizing—single action to expand a window the whole screen minus the OS docks/taskbars—is present in every widely used OS except for Mac OS.

they haven’t let go of the idea that all apps need to use the whole screen at all times

Not sure where you’re getting “at all times” from. Windows and Linux desktops all easily support having windows take up less than the whole screen. In fact, it’s easier than in Mac OS because of window snapping to sides and corners. It’s only that Mac OS makes it very clumsy to get the effect that maximizing has on every other OS.

Makes me think less of antirez that he doesn’t acknowledge that this is the same design as Microsoft’s BSTRs, which predate sds by many many years.

Maybe this is more productive: What point were you trying to make with your spam comment? And how isn’t it addressed by twitter abiding by viewpoint neutrality but not content neutrality?

Uh, if the class action damages cap is 500k then it’s only worth 500k to Google…

What a low effort and low thought reply. No one said it is. I’m saying there’s a principled way to have free speech and still take down spam.

In the government context, this problem is very aptly dealt with by distinguishing “content neutrality” from “viewpoint neutrality”. That’s why the government can punish spam emailers without violating the first amendment.

This is a false sense of understanding that many Linux users develop. You basically built a puzzle by putting together the pieces that fit together. And you have the illusion that you learned something about the picture drawn on the pieces.

You don’t really understand anything more except how to configure a system with a poorly designed configuration system. Installing a difficult-to-use Linux distribution teaches you nothing about operating systems, compilers, linkers & loaders, shared libraries, or anything else about the foundations of modern computing.

If you put your hand in the fire, no one has punished you with a burn.

And considering PPP, the US still smokes all the major European powers. What is your point?

That is how many people see the world. Mankind is collectively some kind of God that is responsible for your individual plight.

You could have bothered to read the article before posting the most obvious, dismissive thing.

So I agree it has to do with bad governance. But you deflect all blame away from the people in those poorly governed country, instead blaming wealthy people in other countries. I’ll say though, the worst thing the West has done to the third world is insist on democracy. Peasants don’t know what they need government to do, and the political classes in those countries don’t have the maturity to steer them.

What are you talking about? Everyone is eating bigger pieces of pie these days. A lot of the things we take for granted weren’t even available to wealthy people one or two hundred years ago. Electricity, running water, sewage, pharmaceuticals, vaccines, effective surgery, motorized transport, sturdy housing. Not to mention the increasingly universal availability of education. Sure, some people still live in squalor, but it’s a rapidly shrinking percent of the world.

That has to do with questions of what exactly the law prohibits. A lot of white collar law deals with the very murky line between sharp, but legal, business practices and prohibited conduct. Those kinds of issues don’t usually rear their heads in other kinds of cases, which instead tend to be contested on adequacy of evidence and criminal procedure (Miranda warnings, illegal search and seizure, etc.) grounds.

That’s only because of political entrenchment. If Europe loosened their labor laws and made other reforms to bring them in line with American business law, they would probably catch up to American GDP per capita pretty quickly. As it stands, US GDP per capita is 40% higher then even Germany. Do you think the Germans aren’t capable of producing at the same level as the US?

That’s a deceptive analysis because catch-up growth is easier. That’s why the Asian Tigers could grow at breakneck speeds, right until they caught up to Western development levels and stagnated just like everyone else.

Go do your own research if you don’t believe me. I’m not your research assistant.

Do you think conservative judges aren’t receptive to fraud cases? Republican appointees regularly give the longest sentences to white collar criminals. Your comment is clearly written about someone who actually knows nothing about law except what the political media prints. And no one has deregulated or legalized outright fraud, which is what happened here.

What? Everyone who could investigate and prosecute SBF right now and for the last two years is a Democrat.

You know until 2016/2017 we let people post just about anything they wanted on all of the major platforms. Maybe not racial slurs and direct threats, but everything else was good. It was like that for a very long time and mostly everyone was fine with it. All that changed is that liberals didn’t like the political results—far right ideas becoming more popular and organized.

Let them wear coats, said the out of touch queen of the freezing peasants.

My whole point is that this requirement could suffocate innovation on ports by turning it into a mother-may-I regime in perpetuity. You said, but we had the regime before with micro usb yet still innovated to usb-c. My response was that the old requirement didn’t stifle innovation since it was satisfied by an adapter [requiring a minor logical step by the reader:] because you could still invent new ports as long as you bundled a micro USB adapter. Your response was, adapters bad. Do you see how that doesn’t address the argument at all?

Slow is good for deciding to prohibit. Slow is bad for deciding to allow.

By eventually doing what the EU is doing when there’s a clear hold out. But instead of carving it in stone, letting it expire in 5 to 10 years. i.e. exactly what my original comment said.

You’re so close to openly admitting it. Just say it. The ultimate goal is to make it so only the rich can afford comfortable home heating, privacy, transportation, and travel, while the lower and middle classes pay the price for this climate religion.

That’s not how any of this works. 1) Weird to check the inflation charts when you can just check the price of oil and natural gas. They have moved considerably due to the war. 2) Natural gas is not a perfect long term market. It’s a consumable that has to travel through the supply chain and then be consumed in a short amount of time. 3) No reason to expect a massive shift right at the beginning of the war. No one expected the war to drag on this long. No one expected the West to double down on sanctions so dramatically. No one expected Nordstream 2 to get blown up and foreclose Germany’s options. 4) Inflation has many many causes. A major pandemic, a decade and a half of printing money like never before, political trouble in the US, and now a twitter-driven suicidal sanctions regime.

Execution would be an appropriate punishment for sociopathic lying at this scale. Beyond defrauding investors of millions, she gave patients and doctors fake test results that she knew were fake. She knew that could have led to people dying of perfectly treatable conditions. That none did, as best as we can tell, is a lucky accident. This is an evil person. Off with her head.

That’s not how sentencing works in this country. The specific crime you were convicted of determines the possible range of sentences. Then judge considers a multitude of factors to determine exact sentence. This includes prior offenses and also all “relevant conduct”, i.e. the totality of your wrongdoing, not just what you were specifically convicted of.

Also, not sure what you’re on about re: failing to make introduction. She claimed to have revolutionary blood tests that worked, but they were useless and she knew it. It was blatant lying and fraud to the tune of millions of dollars. Not to mention all the doctors and patients who thought they got accurate test results and relied on them.

If only a previous president had said so and banned it. Oh, that did happen. And then Biden unbanned it because a bunch of liberal journalists told him to.

Okay but that doesn’t address my point or defend yours.
