Well it makes sense if you think about it.

You invest a million dollar in 100 companies, 95 fail, 4 makes 10 million each. If the last one hits at least 60 million you are even, anything above is pure profit. Basically just throwing shit at the wall and see what sticks.

Going to wait for the first bug fix patch

Personally I think mandatory voting is a bad idea. It will not make then suddenly care, they will just vote for lolrolfcopter party.

The US does a lot of bad things around voting, but it being on a workday is probably the biggest hurdle. Most other countries have it on a weekend or holiday. That means that most people can go vote and not have to chose between potentially getting fired and vote. Which, to no surprise mostly affects lower income voters.

Also combined with the witch hunt on mail in voting makes it very hard for lower income people to vote. Which is by design.

Or even worse, password field doesn’t work with paste.

Yepp. Started using Debian around the Ham/Slink releases, haven’t found any reason to change yet.

Partly, I think another part of it is to destroy system that, while having flaws, for the most part works.

Then it will be much easier to just remove them in the future, “why are we paying X billion a year for this when it doesn’t even work?”

It says “could” not “will”, so they will just never implement that part.

And they are laughing at their victims

Would be interesting to see overall EV sales in those regions as well, I am guessing they have all gone up.

Still nicer than people that smoke at home

The funny thing is that the cookie warning only applies to tracking cookies, for stuff like session cookies you do not need it.

But it is always easier to just nag the user too many times than to risk something, so everyone just adds the warning anyway.

Also, IANAL so don’t trust me!

Re-binding caps lock is such a nice thing. I am a Perl programmer (yes, really), though not in emacs (vim all the way!)

I changed caps locks to $ and @ with shift decades ago. Especially since in my native layout they are awkward to reach.

And then there are things like strcmp() that uses 0 as true. At least it is for a good reason, but still confusing.

The problem is that your whole family has to be not dumb enough.

Also the storage is the cost for the user, and google in the case of play store. So the developers have no incentive to reduce the size.

Yeah, that is just how youtube works. You as an individual can say you don’t like annoying thumbnails and titles, but they 100% work. And channels that don’t use them are just not getting as many viewers.

I just started skipping the first 1-2 pages of all ads, they usually just talk about what a fantastic company they are, etc. Just noise that no one is interested in, not even the ones lying about it.

At the end after all the fluff there is usually a description of what you are supposed to know and do. And if there isn’t, well I am not wasting my time with them.

Also, describing salary range seems very different in different countries

More often than not that is corporate speak for “we fired the old team and replaced them with cheaper workers. And we didn’t want to pay them to learn the old code/they tried but failed, so we are dumping features now”

Missed to change the legend to “North Canada” or just simply “Canada”

I think the last two seasons were very much hit or miss. Some really good eps but also some really awful ones.
