Take "make you buy" - are they "making" you do it, or are you in the market for a camera and they're providing you with a really nice choice of one that will likely suit your needs?

The answer of course is somewhere in between depending on context. People don't have zero agency, but they also don't have 100% agency.

Why do bots need to crawl so much? Any idea what kind of bots they are, is it mainly search engines?

When companies say they are being apolitical they mean more narrowly political - ignoring as much as possible the things that do not affect their core business. Does coinbase have to have a declared position for whether there should be a Mexico wall, or gun rights, or abortion - not really. What about BLM or gay rights? They probably have to have some minimal position like "we treat everyone equally", but that's also different than donating to the protests or conversely declaring support for the police union, etc.

So the biggest polluters are food, clothing and shelter - I'm seeing a pattern here...

Math is a language that describes relationships between quantities of different things.

Never, you? If I did though and found that one of my devices was harming my neighbors I wouldn't expect gifts.

> I hope the cable company bought the "mortified" TV owner (possibly old/poor) a new TV because they've done nothing obviously wrong.

I'm pretty sure you're not allowed to jam public signals village-wide: https://www.fcc.gov/general/jammer-enforcement

Two guesses:

- There are a lot of alternatives to coconuts so if they become too expensive at market, people will buy other fruit, putting a ceiling on potential harvesting costs. If no one will do it at the price, better to just not pick them.

- There might not be an actual shortage, but since harvesting is a specialty craft that the whole business is beholden to, and too seasonal to hire in-house, the harvesters have lots of temporary power and scheduling optimization requirements between farms that makes it feel like there is a shortage. Kind'of like swimming pool builders in spring.

Ideally one would be able to request a new static IP depending on their needs.

Do u use a browser extension to re-enable cookies quickly for login?

Isn't it about the same now for your home network except for a couple of extra family users?

What about the whole composition? Or is that not what this is about?

Is there a button to play the sounds on the site?

What was the scam? That maybe you forgot you ordered it? Or that since it's a company someone will more likely take possession and pay thinking it's for someone else?

The only way to solve that problem is to create risk for the spineless behavior.

Why exactly do they care whether you use the web or app?

There's also the caveat: "However, there is some evidence, mostly from the Flash Crash, that in certain instances algorithmic trading and HFTs may exacerbate price movements during periods of high volatility or market stress."

Volatile volitility reduction

He addresses this. He mentions leaking implementation details, and possibility for mistakes.

I wonder when the F will drop like the N. Facebook is not close to as important/irreplaceable as Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon.

What's a concrete eli5 example of how a base 12 system would be a benefit? The number 12 still exists. The base just dictates when the order of magnitude changes, so larger numbers can be represented with slightly fewer digits, but I don't see much more. Am I missing something?

Hi author, excellent article. But I'm just not seeing the central premise that Werner is wrong in saying that banks are unique in their ability to create money. What Full Tilt Poker did was illegal, simply because they were not licensed as a bank. We do have a special class of institution in our society that is blessed with the ability to create money through fractional reserve that we call "banks". Do you mean regardless of law?

Nobody sideloads, especially not kids

Those are components composed of mostly IP, which OP doesn't think should be paid for. In terms of raw material it is much less.

Sidebar: If you scroll down on Android the address bar disappears as expected (which can cause lots of problems for height measurement and other effects but that's another sidebar), however if you click on the hamburger menu and scroll it doesn't, anyone know why?

With a knife, but still an embarrassement and a tradgedy IMO

The stated reason seems to be that the role is no longer badass enough:

> what it means for the global role I signed up for.

> I understand that the role that I signed up for—including running TikTok globally—will look very different as a result of the US

> We appreciate that the political dynamics of the last few months have significantly changed what the scope of Kevin’s role

Not alotta scope.

How do you solve the problem of having a thousand versions to support

That's likely to cost more than $800

> Why not crowdfund those amounts instead? That way, all creators get paid before the work even starts and the result can be safely released into the public domain.

Then shouldn't every business have to follow the same rules? Making a "copy" of an iPhone costs $20 or $30, should Apple have to crowdsource their factory and IP then sell iPhones by weight or value of raw material? Why do content creators get screwed because physics doesn't let them attach an atom to their creation? The vast majortiy of what you pay for in any product is the creation, not the material.
