If my daughter's new husband doesn't respect her and her family, I'll just give him a good spanking so he can't sit for a week. And that can be repeated as often as needed.

Go to the movies. You will go home with less money in their pocket.

Well, no. Lotteries are for people who think they will never be able to become millionaires through talent, hard work, or just by having rich parents, and who are willing to pay a small amount for the _possibility_, no matter how unlikely, to become a millionaire during the next week.

If the _possibility_ of becoming a millionaire makes you happy, then buy a ticket.

In Germany, everybody has a family name. When you get married, you pick one of the two possible family names. And then you can pick oldname-hyphen-newname if your family name wasn't picked The children get the family name, which is never hyphenated.

Either the man marries his wife or he marries his job. Keeping his surname is disrespectful to his new family. Iâ(TM)m surprised thereâ(TM)s public support for this kind of legislation.

You can make good decisions if you follow two simple steps: 1. Decide what you want. 2. Decide how to get it.

In my complete worklife I've always run into too many people who were exceedingly bad at (1). Their first question was always "what should I do". Instead of asking and answering the real question "what do I want to achieve".

What about following the law and picking (c) avoid accidents.

Is that a fact? When was it checked the last time? No doubt someone got that result at some point in the past, but is it true today? For example reference counting on ARM-Silicon is about 5 times faster than on Intel.

If LLMs destroy half of entry level jobs, then surely that is a national emergency and Trump needs to introduce massive tariffs to protect American jobs?

(I'm not sure myself if I'm joking or serious here).

It's just a bad name. I wouldn't want to drive a "Great Wall" car. Tesla for example was a great inventor, quite well known for his work with electricity. So a good name for an EV car. :"Great Wall" I can just see myself driving into a great wall.

That doesn't seem to be the same thing. Say I can buy a brand new car for 30,000. The seller would like to sell more, but if they drop the price to 27,000 then the get 3,000 less per car. Not good. So they sell me an officially "used" car for 27,000. Most people pay 30,000; but there are some who find 30,000 too expensive and live with a "used" car saving 3,000.

The difference is that these cars are actually sold to real customers, who drive these cars for real. They are not parked somewhere in a hidden car park. They are real sales at a slightly lower price, producing overall the highest profit.

What these guys are reportedly doing is losing massive amounts of money to be able to report big sales numbers. If that car cost 23,000 to build then they now have 23,000 worth of car in a hidden carpark, losing money all the time while it ages. Not clever at all.

If my phone sends you an Imessage that should display an ampersand, it needs to send the html code "&amp", and your phone displays "&". If my phone sends "&" you want get a "&",

Like a spelling checker. Probably the same for Black and Decker, Marks and Spencer and so on.

Did you read the article? What you said is absolute nonsense. There was no text parsing bug, and there was no vulnerability. The parser did exactly what it was supposed to do and rejected invalid html. Just unfortunate that the same app also produced invalid html.

You better check all applications which accept data from iMessage and see if these invalid messages are correctly rejected.

Rejecting invalid html is an excellent feature. Producing invalid html is a bug. So someone wrote the bug, and someone else made sure that it had no security consequences.
