How would Apple vs Microsoft change anything in those circumstances, though?

Maybe the toolchain no longer runs on modern architectures?

Okay, so two of nine extant subspecies are endangered... And the other seven are not.

Thank you. I wanted to point out the same thing: it's an important distinction to make.

And where do you develop and compile apps for those iPhones? ;)

They have very flashy, AAA-style graphics now. Check out Konami's pivot:

Wrong discussion?

You can disable monsters altogether, if that's the concern. :)

Weirdly, it opens fine (but slowly) in iOS Safari...

Hence this quote:

> How about iOS? Google Maps for iOS 1.0, released late 2012, still works just fine. [And] That was [just] the first version of Google Maps ever released as a standalone app after Apple ditched Google’s map solution on iOS

Not with support like yours, no.

Soviet doesn't necessarily equate to Russian, in the same way that you can be a non-German Nazi...

You are being a fool. Exchanges have been known to close, be seized, and be stolen from, without warning.

Cryptocurrency frees you from needing to trust central banks/exchanges... so why continue to trust them? Especially un(der)regulated ones?!

At best, store only the smallest amount you're willing to lose, so you retain some liquidity for sudden trades...

Not what GP was asking. Desire might not even correlate with sperm count!

Maybe decreased desire even leads to count and motility decreases?

For those like me who want something clickable:

If you could export the diff, or import settings, that would be adequate.

In Copenhagen, there's a similar style restaurant that only uses old world ingredients for similar reasons.

Two Michelin starred, too! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noma_(restaurant)

The notifications directly rely on private information.

Depends on how much funding Discord has already raised, I bet. Their VCs are generally going to want a massive exit, and I bet the valuations after previous raises are non-trivial. Guessing that Valve is adverse to acquisitions in general too, for their weird cultural reasons.

EDIT: $725 million. Not cheap.

Pretty sure they had signed and entered an agreement preemptively, and their subsequent violation is what caused the later suit.

Agreed, I was frustrated at that too.

Those were "emoticons", which used plain ASCII, and were sometimes converted to proprietary icon sets within forums/IM clients/etc.

So, entering :-) would render a smiley face sometimes.

However, it wasn't a Unicode character that retained meaning independent of the specific implementation.

Eg, :grr: might render on phpBB, but nowhere else.

Self-hosted vs SaaS is not a binary decision, and I hate seeing it argued like that every time there's an outage.

What the hell happened to basic risk mitigation? Offsite backups, disaster procedures, etc aren't new, or unexpected. You'd think they should be the norm, if you're a working professional...

If you can't merge to master decentrally, that's not Git's fault.

A letter about Google AMP

We are a community of individuals who have a significant interest in the development and health of the World Wide Web (“the Web”), and we are deeply concerned about Accelerated Mobile Pages (“AMP”), a Google project that purportedly seeks to improve the user experience of the Web.

In fact, AMP keeps users within Google’s domain and diverts traffic away from other websites for the benefit of Google. At a scale of billions of users, this has the effect of further reinforcing Google’s dominance of the Web.

We acknowledge the problem of Web pages being slow to load, relative to alternative, proprietary technologies such as Facebook Instant Articles and Apple News. Publishers (especially in news media) have long faced difficult choices and poor incentives, leading to bad decisions and compromises, and ultimately to terrible user experiences.

Search engines are in a powerful position to wield influence to solve this problem. However, Google has chosen to create a premium position at the top of their search results (for articles) and a “lightning” icon (for all types of content), which are only accessible to publishers that use a Google-controlled technology, served by Google from their infrastructure, on a Google URL, and placed within a Google controlled user experience. (source)

The AMP format is not in itself, a problem, but two aspects of its implementation reinforce the position of Google as a de facto standard platform for content, as Google seeks to drive uptake of AMP with content creators:

Content that “opts in” to AMP and the associated hosting within Google’s domain is granted preferential search promotion, including (for news articles) a position above all other results. When a user navigates from Google to a piece of content Google has recommended, they are, unwittingly, remaining within Google’s ecosystem. If Google’s objective with AMP is indeed to improve user experience on the Web, then we suggest some simple changes that would do that while still allowing the Web to remain dynamic, competitive and consumer-oriented:

Instead of granting premium placement in search results only to AMP, provide the same perks to all pages that meet an objective, neutral performance criterion such as Speed Index. Publishers can then use any technical solution of their choice. Do not display third-party content within a Google page unless it is clear to the user that they are looking at a Google product. It is perfectly acceptable for Google to launch a “news reader”, but it is not acceptable to display a page that carries only third party branding on what is actually a Google URL, nor to require that third party to use Google’s hosting in order to appear in search results. We don’t want to stop Google’s development of AMP, and these changes do not require that. We also applaud search engines that give ranking preference to fast-loading pages. AMP can remain one of a range of technologies that give publishers high quality options for delivering Web pages quickly and making users happy.

However, publishers should not be compelled by Google’s search dominance to put their content under a Google umbrella. The Web is not Google, and should not be just Google.

Sincerely, AS INDIVIDUALS

<long list of names>

Merely installing Ubuntu on a ThinkPad doesn't disclaim you of proprietary software, by a long shot.

Do you also run an open BIOS, no CPU ME, no cellphone basebands, OSS controllers in your hard drives, and control the firmware on all of your USB/PCIe peripherals?

If you actually do, you ought to realize that you're a one in hundreds of millions type individual, and that those hoops don't work for most people; even technically minded ones.

And if you don't, you're a hypocrite who should be more sympathetic to the numerous compromises that exist in reality.

Yep. It bad to develop for, and left lots on the table compared to its contemporary Xbox 360, despite "theoretically" better specs. 1

The Cell processor was never used in any other consoles, and the IBM Roadrunner supercomputer using them ended up being replaced by Cray+AMD hardware.

I read your post as objecting, not agreeing. Perhaps others have the same confusion.

How is this not a monopolistic, anticompetitive measure?

The largest ad company starts a shell coalition so their largest market-share browser can use it as justification to block "non-approved" (competitor's) ads.

"Best equipment in the world"? This is capitalism. They're going to use the cheapest "good enough" equipment they can get away with. And considering the domain experience a patient would need to tell a new MRI from an eight year old one... I'm sure they get away with lots.

I guarantee the hospital administration isn't going to pay the upcharges for the fanciest new MRI if they can spend it on themselves.
