Implementing features through plugins is one way you get bugs. And the WM without plugins is generally how new users (who might not stick around) experience it.

And I'm sure they were working on bugs as well, it's just the eye candy is what got the headlines because it's what people see.

Or more likely, trying to source smaller memory chips would cost more. And as C64 already uses bank switching, there's no reason to not allow switching to more banks. Like, C128 shipped with 128KB, could be easily extended to 256KB, and its CPU could handle up to 640KB.

As 128MB = 32768 4KB pages or 65536 2KB pages (I don't know the granularity of the I/O port used for bank switching), I suspect this limit is due to bank numbers not the memory chips' size.

And the fun thing being, original software that was able to handle different memory sizes (64/128/256/640) might be able to use all 128MB without modifications.

That depends on jurisdiction. Community property states have more reasonable divorce laws.

The community property states are Arizona, California, Idaho, Louisiana, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin.

If you don't live in one of these states, you can move there, live for six months, and then file for divorce, even if your spouse lives elsewhere.

Kissgate was in Boston, so Byron is screwed if his wife files first.

To counter your top-down slightly moralistic solution, a fairly standard economic analysis is that this effect is an externally borne cost (a negative externality), and it should be taxed equal to the amount of harm done, and the tax should be distributed to the ones that are harmed (in proportion to the harm). This is a logistical nightmare, requiring agreement from multiple governments about what the harm is and how the proceeds should be distributed. But it's a tidy theory because shipping would be less attractive, costing more in a fair/accurate way (the shipping cost would accurately reflect not only the fuel cost and opportunity cost of the ships, but the costs borne by farmers and coastal dwellers affected by global warming), and there would be no net harm done because everyone would be paid in a way that matches their harm.

This is totally impractical at this time--first because of lack of agreement, second because of imprecise modeling--but it's less absurd than the idea that we will stop shipping across oceans. Btw, this type of tax is called a Pigouvian tax, if someone wants to dig deeper.

First of all no you didn't code anything you had a AI crap out a cookie cutter game.

And fucking nfts? Are we going to bring back that tax dodge? Because that's what those were going to be until the IRS said no, you couldn't use the art loophole anymore and you certainly couldn't use it on nfts.

I cannot go a single day without this God forsaken world reminding me that the entirety of human civilization is collapsing. At least not without turning off the internet and any other media device.

Well, if you are intent on proving some more that you have really no clue, just continue doing this.

Whether you think it's a scam or not, you haven't actually responded to the question of how it is a ponzi scheme.

And I'm retired early due to various investments, some of them cryptocurrency related. My net worth keeps increasing during retirement. I'm sorry you're bad with money.

Ummm... Who said it's SMS?

When I get the alerts, they come through the system notification system, which is basically an always on connection performing long polling.

I was alerted to an impending earthquake a few weeks ago. I looked up at my ceiling trying to decide what parts are structural and which are decorative. Earthquake was over before I could figure that out.

I have a long-haul flight booked on a 787 coming up in two months. I'd like to get some definitive answers.

Me too...in three. And I'm not worried one bit. Do you know why?

Because there's over a thousand of them being used by airlines every year, and hundreds flying above your head as you read this. And there's not a single report of any of them having engines that flame out.

Furthermore, I've not seen any reports today of anyone dying in a commercial airplane crash. Meanwhile, about 3,260 people die every day around the world in road vehicle accidents. If you're not afraid to get behind the wheel, stop all the fear mongering with commercial aircraft.

To anything not protected by HIPAA is nuts to me.

That data could easily be handed to the police and they could use it to tie you to a crime. You're then going to have to spend tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars fighting them off while a prosecutor tries to get a notch in his belt for his upcoming political run.

Every year crime goes down but every year we put more cops on the street and give prosecutors more money.

Voters expect results but if crime is going to keep going down the only way to get those results is to start locking up innocent people.

I'm sure they will start with minorities but well, they are a minorities by definition that won't be enough so they're going to start harassing The general public.

You can already see it with DUI stops where cops are pulling people over who are perfectly sober but the way the laws are written you're guilty until proven innocent.

If you can figure out where I went wrong, I'd love to hear it: https://youtu.be/U05JrrtVBuk

Per the article the only difference is that China is being a little more honest about it

Took me 60 seconds to find that. I hope you're not part of America's cybersecurity infrastructure...

Unlikely that random foreman knew about the highly classified test.

Would not be the first time that slimeball Altman is directly lying to the public.
