Even if you believe regulating porn and social media sites is "for the children", why is an e-commerce site like AliExpress on this list? What all the targeted sites have in common is that they are not European. This is just more bullshit EU hidden trade tariffs.

>>Patents have nothing to do with copyright.

Patents are not identical to copyrights, but as both are intellectual property, they have a similar need of being assigned to a human author. See: Monkey Selfie Copyright Dispute

"Moving fast and breaking things" is not the motto you want for a rocket company, especially one that hopes to carry passengers.

Even if that were true (it isn't), marketing a placebo to people makes them less likely to seek actual treatment.

>> Slap a fee on them and they'll just add it somewhere else.

Better to have it be a visible fee so the customer knows who to blame, than a hidden one.

>> For 40-odd dollars you could get the entire thing, and not have to pay for EVERY executable you produced

I suspect a lot of early DOS shareware/freeware was written in Turbo Pascal for that very reason.

I can't believe you got modded Troll for that comment. I guess the one remaining Pascal fanboy has mod points today.

>>I honestly think Pascal's downfall was its weird operators.

I actually preferred := for assignment and = for comparison (versus = and == in C/Java/Python/etc), it just seemed more natural, but yeah there was a lot of unnecessary extra typing like Begin and End for block markers instead of braces (or just indenting).

>>Also since it charges at 85 kW in standard, I don't understand the advantage for them to do the battery swapping

Battery lifetime is reduced by fast charging. In this business model, the driver owns the car but "rents" the battery, so it makes sense for the company that actually owns the batteries to get the most charge cycles out of them they can by slow charging. Also, if you have to wait for 30 minutes while someone else is using the only fast charger at a station, your "fast" charge now takes an hour AND you've degraded your battery. The battery swapping system actually needs less infrastructure than installing a bunch of redundant fast chargers just to handle peak demand.

I wonder if this study was paid for by office space real estate interests. It just seems like a new spin on "remote workers are ruining the economy".

The "security" part they're interested in is making sure the cure for cancer doesn't get accidentally released to everyone and is only controlled by a few powerful monopolies.

Silo is a great sci-fi TV series with a slowly revealed mystery (no spoilers if you read the book) and great acting/directing. Can't wait for season 2.

>> People are accepting these crap jobs to get a foot in the door into America and accepting crappy terms

On the other hand, it's pretty difficult to know how crappy a job is when you've only heard about it via email from a third-party recruiter with no incentive to be honest with either the employee or employer.

Green bubbles are a standards-compliant badge of honor.

>>If you post a note, it should show up "within minutes," unless it's flagged for human review... When you look at all of the notes for a link, what's shown will be ranked dynamically based on things like the user's query and a note's relevance to the content on the page.

So they want to change Google search results into yet another social media hellscape with everyone upvoting or downvoting links and leaving asinine comments? If so, Bing may be ready for a comeback.
