Minimum is just that, minimum.

Have you ever seen a broken standard USB port or connector? Me not once in my entire life, unlike micro-USB or USB-C.

No screen tearing is a major benefit of using a compositor.

This location is ground zero of the London champaigne socialists.

It's about what the majority wants - thinner waterproof phones instead of a removable battery.

You are not forced by the evil companies, you are forced by market pressure from the majority of consumers.

Not even Apple was able to resist consumer pressure, they famously yielded and made a big screen phone.

Seems so. Until they will beam the ads directly to our brains through NeuralLink.

No, that's not my position.

My position is freedom. To create locked-down devices. Or open ones. And freedom for consumers to buy which kind they want. You are taking a position that you know what's best for consumers. That's quite presumptuous.

For most consumers a locked device is in their interest because it protects them from malware and data loss.

Nobody I know wants to root their phone. Me neither.

Again, same market pressure, a useful actually used feature will never be removed because people will not buy the device.

Most people don't care about replaceable batteries, headphone jacks or rooting.

In fact not allowing rooting is net benefit for the vast majority because it prevents spyware being installed on the device by a controlling partner, ...

The user will refuse to use such a device. Just like Chrome can't block ad-blockers despite massive financial incentives, because there would be massive user uproar.

Your average user doesn't try to copy movies, which is why DRM is accepted in Netflix.

The end game for ad blocking is a neural network inspecting the final rendered webpage frame before it's displayed to the user and painting over it to cover the ads.

But then for 5 years they refused to implement any new feature in a time of massive web innovation.

Chrome is not repeating that mistake, most new web APIs come from them.

You can make this point about a lot of activities, sports, drinking, smoking, drugs, eating too much.

And a helmet doesn't prevent broken bones, spines, so they will still drain hospital resources.

Looking at both of them, they look very heavy (not considering the motor and battery).

And the gearing seems limited.

Are they actually usable in non-electric mode?

Why do you care if they don't wear helmets?

They mention in the docs it was somewhat complicated to use.

Very few apps need more than the ability to atomically swap a file.

And for the complicated multi write cases, a lot of software just use sqlite which deals with it.

It's a single high value target. You can input the coordinate by hand.

Ships move slowly, you don't need integration, you can input by hand the coordinates. The missile has terminal stage radar guidance.

Ukraine also had a Bayraktar drone flying around the ship area at that time. It could have picked up rough coordinates from that.

Some Windows binaries are hard linked to run directly from the installation disk image copied during Windows install .

Those few kb are probably the size of the hard links to the image.

Windows Vista introduced in 2006 a transactional file system API for user applications.

It was recently deprecated because almost nobody uses it.

What about natural numbers?

I've read that Godel's result and diagonalization procedure shows that they exist (not invented).

Random stuff happening? Pockets of local consistency?

What's the consensus on natural numbers?

I've read that they exist in a non-tautological way, which also matches common sense (obviously not enough in math).

But why is nature consistent?

Sure, AI songs will be about love and Gucci belts.

There is also dance music which arguably has no viewpoint (considering it has almost zero lyrics).

What you said was true about 2001. I'm not so sure about 2007 though. For $1000 you could have bought 4 decent condenser microphones and an audio interface for them. And for another $1000 a medium-high computer.

Arguably not that expensive, considering that you probably already had a computer and you could split the audio hardware costs between the 4 band members (otherwise why 4 microphones)

Software and plugins were indeed expensive, but there were plenty of free alternatives of decent quality. Reaper, FruityLoops were pretty cheap and quite good for the basics.

Nirvana, pink floyd, metallica were also listened mainly by kids. Same with Beatles, and Elvis before that. It's always the kids who listen to what later will be called "great music".

Some people listen to the actual music.

You are saying "I love watching the skill of the painter, I couldn't care less about the final product"

A director directing the orchestra...

Most of today's popular music is heavily computer based.

Previous musicians said the same things, electric guitars are not musical instruments, synthesizers have no soul, music made on computer DAWs is artificial and of no value, ....

The kids will embrace 100% AI generated music, the parents will be "they don't make music like they used to", forgetting that their parents said the same things about their music.

They seem to be saying that to do a quantum computation there is a minimum volume of space required in which to perform it which grows in relation to the number of qubits.

Some teenagers don't have what to eat.
