It is actually just for Google and Facebook.
It names those companies, and only those companies specifically.
It's also not actually a law. It's rules (or guidelines, or something) created arbitrarily by the ACCC without input from parliament or the senate.
Australia wouldn't do any such thing.
Google would be leaving to prove a point, in which case Google themselves would simply geoblock Australia and put up a big "Thank your stupid government" message in its place.
The Australian government has nothing to prove by making any ridiculous attempt to block Google. In fact, their position is that there's absolutely nothing incompatible with Google operating in this country under their guidelines, so blocking them would be counter-productive.
That's the thing - Google isn't bailing out due to ethics, they're bailing out because basically the code requires them to hand over a whole bunch of money to multinational news companies in exchange for....
It creates an artificial barrier to two specific companies. It's about as market-interfering as you can possibly get.
And whilst government interference in the market can be good when it's to protect consumers, and even under some circumstances when it protects local businesses and the local economy, in this case it's specifically to protect multi-national news organisations.
And by "protect", I mean "give additional bonuses to", because they weren't actually under threat by having their content linked to on the web in the first place.
WSL2 is actually a step _away_ from moving to a Linux Kernel.
WSL1 had Linux as an actual subsystem alongside the Win64 subsystem.
WSL2 is just a VM with some filesystem integration. It's more separated from Windows that it was in the past.
You seem angry, have you tried eating some bread?
Why should some techbro (or more likely, techlady) making five times that Trader Joe's salary get a pass?
I'm sure that as soon as there's a line of angry customers at their desk wanting their groceries scanned, someone will do something about it.
Technically that'd be no generations though. Just a bunch of time....
You don't own a house, do you?
Imagine for a moment that this conversation was going on in public, with a number of onlookers who, whilst open to the possibility that you might be correct, are not actually you, and don't know what you know.
Rather than point scoring, how about you actually explain your reasoning so those people can be enlightened? At least one of them may not be choosing to remain confused.
They're not selling them at Wallmart
What'd you think the price would be? $74k is basically nothing.
The price threshold at which someone chooses simply not to buy something is way higher than the one at which they'll buy an existing cheaper version.
With no competition, the settled price is the maximum the market considers the good to be worth.
With competition, the settled price is the minimum for which it can be profitably sold.
So yes, the PayStation store will have the last word on prices, within the maximum range that consumers consider the games to be worth.
It doesn't.
But it does know if you've clicked the link in the tweet you're retweeting.
All they need to do is pop up the nag if the first thing you do on seeing a tweet with a link in it is to immediately retweet.
Of course, I haven't read the article either, so I'm only guessing.
Who's talking about brands? The article is talking about models. Specifically the Model 3.
The data certainly seems to support that claim.
That's the POINT. If you just want somewhere to copy-paste some text, or quickly look at a text file, then you don't need anything more than Notepad.
No one has ever suggested it was meant to be a universal text editor, code editor or word processor.
Who's censoring?
He wants to let Youtube know what their platform is being used for.
Why do you want to force a private entity to air views it may not agree with?
If they want to spout rubbish, they can stand on their street corner and yell at passers by, the way it's always been done.
BLISS is ignorance.
