> It does drive me crazy that their enterprise tier “caps” bandwidth. Our company overaged on one of our domains, so we moved the domain out of our enterprise license onto a self-serve plan, and like magic, back to unlimited bandwidth.

You don't see how the spend cap is linked to the bandwidth cap?

Of course for this to work the client has to check it and know the device's user is underage. Any devices or software that either do not check or lie about the user's age will be illegal. Since you can write software that does so too, unsigned software that does network access will be made impossible.

They always had control. Awareness is a different thing. You could just as well ask "if you've written every line of code, why did you write that bug?".

One man's anonymous posts are another man's foreign influence operation.

I suppose this depends on how the law is written, but are roaming users subject to local SIM regulations for network use? I can't imagine asking for ID from tourists using their existing SIMs is going to work.

I believe some travel eSIMs are actually issued from outside the country you're going to.

It can if it's a roaming eSIM. I'm sure all the countries mentioned here e.g. Australia still handles US SIMs roaming there fine even when the US SIM dossn't have ID tied to it.

Why would they care? They take the blame when it gets hacked, but don't really get any upside for bending the rules to make people work easier. CYA rule-following is just to be expected.

I think you'll find that in the current day, high speed LP(?)DDR5 requires a better signal path than what the SODIMM can provide. Which is why laptop makers initially moved to soldered RAM before moving to CAMM (probably only for the high end ones).

Yes. All the fancy buildings in the historic city center (the cathedral, the national gallery buildings) were all pre war buildings. No small fishing village would have such grand buildings.

People used to say "reality has a liberal bias" -- maybe we can replace "liberal" with "racist" there now.

Refugee? Draft dodger?

Somehow this "leave it to the parents" logic isn't followed when it comes to cigarettes or alcohol. Why is social media different?

It would eliminate a natural control mechanism on humans that's for sure.

Well no-one said they have to implement it themselves. I'm sure Google and Apple are willing to send a hardware-signed attestation that the device owner is 18+ if required bu the state.

Importing people from countries with higher fertility rates into a country that gives citizenship based on birth location. What else could be the result?

Sure, not "us". But it could possibly outgrow the vast majority of individual "yous".

How is that Linux only features line different from OpenSSH (OpenBSD specific) vs Portable OpenSSH? If it bothered people that much they can also band together and make a Portable $whatever.

It's a capacity constraint. It's either consumers switch or the HBM buyers switch and I know which one I'd prioritize.

If they're screwed either way then the rational solution is to bank the extra cash. Then at least they would have cash at the end of it. If they are production constrained how would reducing profits help in any way?

"I have no idea how that rm -rf $HOME ended up in the Makefile"

The article has examples from history of overexpansion and crashes. Would rapidly expanding (or keeping profits lower(??)) be beneficial long term for the Big 3? I bet they think it's better to bank the surplus now. The Chinese will have to get their investment back somehow too after the expansion spend.

Thailand was flooding, not tsunamis.

Nvidia chips are also legal, yet restricted. No need to invoke ethics when you have power.

The question is whether they would treat that as a single card (physical vs digital).

some UPI users to some Paynow users. (limited to participating institutions only).

Enterprise SSDs are all that. Just make sure you power it up. For data retention without power the requirements are 3mo for enterprise vs 1yr for consumer grade.

Is a card present transaction generally "easily reversible"?

Come off it. Sure some of them had "morals" but a decent chunk of them just lacked the imagination or connections to monetize their lack of morals.

Top 5% earnings only buffer you against job loss if you don't have top 5% expenditures. The hedonic treadmill is real.

It's a rare piece of software that lasts that long. For the rest of us there's LLMs.
