Exactly the same thing that stops you from buying a generic inkjet printers.

Go check Amazon. There are none.

Some say the inkjet printer head is the secret sauce, but then yousearch for generic laser printers and there are none either.

Is every printer technology an uncrackable tech that has resisted decades of reverse engineering?

now this is a "small", "far away" war, so killing civilians isn't expected, but for them a supplier of agricultural products is feeding the soldiers that will be stomping their heads if this keeps escalating.

I'm not justifying anyone here, I'm just pointing out how ridiculous it sounds when we try to define a set of rules to kill each other and then say they are violating them, when we know that the good guys bombed whole cities to the ground, and will bomb whole cities to the ground, when it matters.

there's so much hate in the region that this stuff will only end one way, and I personally don't want to see Iran winning this, but let's call war by it's name.

for example, let's say the new os depends on m5's exclusive thumbnail generator accelerator, and let's say it improves speed by a 20%.

now, your M1 notebook than on previous OSes uses standard gpu acceleration for thumbnails will not have this specialized hardware acceleration, it will have software fallback that will be 90% slower.

you won't notice it a first thought because it's stuff, fast, but it eats a bit of the processor.

multiply this by 1000 features and you have a slow machine.

I don't know how else to explain how an ipad pro cannot even scroll a menu without stuttering, it's insane how fast these things were on release

why on earth would you give Google or Apple more attestation power and control.

realistically, if it fails now due to public outrage, they will try to sneak it again in the future.

Directional antenas are far from directional, they pick noise from everywhere.

In my opinion rain reduces that noise, and if the point to point has more than enough signal margin to keep operating at full speed, it ends up improving the link.

Something like horse blinders.

so he says before this he wouldn't shut up about k8s, but obviously didn't even read the documentation.

how do you expect to use a tool as encompassing as k8s without even understanding basic concepts?

give these guys an airplane and they will start googling how to take off when they are already speeding up on the runway.

if you don't have the keys make sure to grab them for the next one.

I know that there is no comparison in the user base, but a few years ago I ran into a massive Python + MySQL bug that:

1. made SELECT ... FOR UPDATE fail silenty 2. aborted the transaction and set the connection into autocommit mode

This basically a worst case scenario in a transactional system.

I was basically screaming like a mad man in the corner but no one seemed to care.

Someone contacted me months later telling me that they experienced the same problem with "interesting" consequences in their system.

The bug was eventually fixed but at that point I wasn't tracking it anymore, I provided a patch when I created the issue and moved on.

Personally I think it's fantastic they are losing ground because it really rubs me the wrong way when they force their morals [1] [2].

it's not needed for SEO, caching it is pointless, the server won't render it faster than the client so you are not speeding up anything.

what's the point of complicating anything about it? seems that at least some of their suffering is a self-inflicted wound, maybe the author just picked a bad example.

SBF stole user funds to basically role play as a billionare.

> What you wanted to avoid is the fact that because the system works well, it doesn't cause anyone problems.

I don't know what you mean by the system. But banks, and their ability to create money on the spot, have been the epicenter of uncountable economic crises.

crypto assets like BTC and ETH are insanely volatile, I agree with this, don't put your retirement money there.

crypto coins issued by an entity, like in the article, you can trust them as much as you trust the entity, the difference with electronic or paper money is that it cannot be created in private, the ledger is public and it cannot be modified.
