Yes, but I'm not arguing the US Constitution is older than the UK one, although it is much older than that of almost all countries I think. I'm arguing that the UK doesn't suffer from having an old constitution because its constitution changes more easily than the US one.
But that's more because they want to keep the charter, no? I mean that keeping the UK constitution "living" is much easier since the written parts can be legally changed easily.
And the 2 party system is a result of US electoral and constitutional law, which is entrenched. If the US had a new constitution from scratch today I don't think it would feature the electoral college, it's there because of legal inertia.
The UK is a bit of an exception through, large parts of Europe have gone though at least some sort of revolution or a change in constitution in the last century, if not multiple.
And the UK constitution isn't entrenched. Whenever the House of Commons wanted it to change to fit with the times it could be done. Imagine if the US constitution could be changed by a simple majority in the House of Representatives.
The UK doesn't have an entrenched constitution through. Whenever there's a simple parliamentary majority for a reform in the lower house it can be done. In the US even simple laws can require a filibuster breaking supermajority in the upper change, and changing the constitution is much harder.
Yeah, it's time spent by the users. Maybe it's an inneficiency of the market because the software company doesn't feel the negative effect enough, maybe it really is cheaper in aggregate that doing 3 different native apps in C++. But if CPU time is so valuable, why aren't we arguing for hand written C or even assembly code instead of the layers upon layers of abstraction in even native modern software?
Oh the copy paste manipulation is still not that rare. I'm speaking of sites where even if open the HTML source you only get a text garble that is magically converted into readable but uncopiable text.
The next question is, why doesn't cloudfare cooperate instead of suffering disruption?
Or why doesn't laliga ask cloudfare to cooperate if that's the issue? Surely cloudfare could block their own users more effectively.
That it picked up from the floor after it the disk overflowed? I'm not saying the rest of it isn't a dark pattern, but the final issue is just a couple of bugs.
> The third dark pattern is OneDrive secretely downloading 280GB of photos and videos without once realising this was way more data than her root drive could store.
That's not a dark pattern, it's just a failure in software development. Microsoft doesn't get anything from overflowing your disk.
It's social proof, specially before you start watching. And after watching it's still interesting in a "huh this trailer got 5M views, didn't know so many people were interested in it" way
Yeah but society doesn't act as if it's an unthinkable event we never planned for when a car crash happens. Blame someone or don't, but there are going to be emergency responders used to dealing with car crashes coming, because we know that car crashes happen (a lot) and we need to be ready for it.
Is that for user email? I think that is semi-understandable as Facebook wouldn't want to mix their authority with that of the users, like github.com vs github.io.
To be fair, this wasn't a super demanding 0-day attack, it was a slightly targeted email phish. Maybe the attacker isn't that sophisticated and just went with what is familiar?
Maybe it's just me but doing a big transfer over cable is a crapshot since it will disconnect midtransfer. KDE connect is a bit better but syncthing is the best solution still.
