Paying taxes is a tad different than being a DoD contractor.

I used to. In the "golden days" of "there's an app for that", I would peruse the App Store looking for new games. I spend hundreds of dollars on games doing that. Now, the only games you see really are shovelware or subscription garbage.

Even German has issues with "letters surrounded by spaces". They love to smash words together to get one giant word.

If you're looking for rad hardened boards, you're not a "consumer" in the general sense of the word.

In vast parts of America, the "local PC shop" doesn't exist. It's BestBuy's GeekSquad (of dubious quality) or Apple's Genius Bar. There might be a repair shop somewhere, but most of the time, they just repair cracked screens.

And System76 charges you just as "absurdly" as Apple. But people don't complain about the price there like you see with Apple.

It's been like this since programming was "invented". Managers and business minds have, for decades, tried to remove the need for programmers. "If we provide a detailed enough spec, why do we need programmers?"

For example, COBOL's big shtick was that non-programmers could write code using a contrived English dialect, and things would work. Decades of no-code or low-code languages have come and gone. AI is just the hip new thing because it actually manages to produce results - just of dubious quality half the time.

Are you sure that wasn't the VPN's fault?

Chinese scammers have gotten good at abusing those "codes" by having a list of "known good" codes and printing them on multiple units. And because those holographic codes some companies used are printed in China, the scammers just use the same equipment during the night shift.

AMD does market segmentation and limits consumer chips to dual-channel. You need to cough up the dough and get Threadripper for quad-channel. Or even more for Threadripper Pro to get octa-channel.

Thankfully, this is changing. Win32's 'A' ANSI/ASCII APIs now support UTF-8 if your app declares such a wish. https://stackoverflow.com/a/69181417/1350209

But by then, the 4-byte limit of UTF-8 will itself have ossified. Even today, reverting back to the 6-byte limit is nigh impossible.

Why not just execute what I wrote? Maybe I'm doing some rounding?

Still, "the same camera" isn't "this person" without more information.

Case in point: fiber optics.

The screens are made by Samsung, but aren't designed by Samsung. Samsung's display and their phone division are completely separate.

For context, GitHub's DMCA form has this assertion:

HN guidelines say to use the actual title and to not editorialize it.

Not to mention that on 32-bit without PAE, that was all you could get. Nothing more.

That's what the various string theory proponents start from. There's "too many" different subatomic particles, so there surely must be something smaller that they're composed of?

The ROM used different sized transistors to store two bits per transistor. That's pure analog territory, which most HDLs don't touch.

Yes it does. It just decays to a pointer at the slightest touch.

So what already happens, but worse?

Wasn't that due to trademarks?

We once did a hike from Chamberlain's Ranch down. No one else for 10+ miles until we reached the switchbacks at the end. It really depends on where you go.

"Can we do X, Y, Z?" Yes? Or maybe later?

It's so annoying. No means no, not "pester me later"!

I should not need extensions for a business to respect my privacy. It's as simple as that.

If you look at it through an equity angle, needing extensions relegates the negative effects to those that are already not "well off" — the technologically illiterate who don't know what to do or know someone who does.

Doesn’t read like AI to me

Even then, the installer itself has administrative access already, should they choose to do it then.
