The reality is that more taxes simple mean more for bureaucrats to squander.
You are correct; however, I would like to make it more pointed:
The reality is that more taxes simply mean more for bureaucrats to send to their friend's and family's companies.
In other words, more taxes means more wealth transfer from the general public to the 'wealthy elite'.
Wealth inequality happens any time you have trade in value, this can be proven mathematically, and it applies to any value in any system.
Wealth inequality is desirable.
The person who is smarter/stronger/harder working should have more wealth than the person who sits around smoking weed and masturbating all day. The thing is, it is not US (people) that should be deciding what others should own, it should be 'nature' that decides. That means the smart/strong/harder working person may not end up with more wealth because they were infected by a parasite that stole their eyesight.
It doesn't matter which economic system is used, it needs to not be corrupted. I would prefer Capitalism as it represents nature most effectively; however, all Economic systems become corrupted because humans are corrupt.
Why would they duplicate the dev effort and take on the expense of creating software which would then make it more difficult to interoperate with their American business / trade partner?
An entity should ALWAYS be self sufficient.
Teamwork makes the dream work; however, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.
We need to identify those people that are spreading Russian propaganda on social media, for example, and we need to ensure that they are completely and utterly dealt with.
That you think this is possible speaks volumes. Quality propaganda mirrors real life concerns. How will you identify someone who is raising real life concerns vs someone who is doing the same thing, but for non-obvious purposes (aka evil propaganda)? The thought processes that will weed such personnel out are the same that are used for absolute dictatorial control. In other words, your idea is a complete non-starter for anyone who wants to live in a "Free" society.
Ukraine needs to:
(a) make an offer that the Russians can at least use as a fig leaf to concede peace.
Russia can not be trusted to keep their word. There is no offer that Ukraine can make that will be honored by Russia other than complete and absolute surrender. That is not an option. Your analysis is flawed.
My main takeaway for programming people is: math is like encryption. Don't make your own.
Then who will? Should we limit ourselves to the known because we might make a mistake? Who will create new encryption algorithms if not me? Am I supposed to rely on some authority that hasn't created it yet?
Long story short, your advice only applies to programmers working on commercial projects that are not their own.
The issue is specific to the licensing server cert.
Fuck off with that nonsense. The issue was engineered into the product a decade ago. Purposefully so. You should not be pretending ignorance of this engineering decision.
In other words, the software was purposefully built to fail in 10 years and yet was sold as a product with a perpetual license.
Fuck you for trying to enable this nonsense and fuck Microsoft for doing this shit.
This is, IMO, an open-and-shut Lanham Act/false advertising case.
Yeah, but someone needs to prosecute and a judge needs to rule reasonably; neither of which are an option today.
I can't decide if you are a paid shill or just dumb as a bag of rocks...
The "kill" here is that you can no longer save documents because a certificate is expiring and will not be removed or updated. Sure, you can still launch the application, but it is not of much use if you can't save any of your work... so the claim by the submitter is valid and your bloviating ignorance does not change that fact.
I imagine it is painful to be that stupid; however, you are likely not smart enough to put 2 and 2 together to realize that it is your own stupidity causing the pain.
If you can't read code, you shouldn't be programming!
If you can't provide context for the program that you wrote, then you shouldn't expect anyone to try and read your code.
But "Star Wars: The Last Flop" lost the thread. Instead of a plot that was even more epic and had even more galactic significance, it just doubled-down on the family drama and kind of lumbered around, getting us nowhere new.
Not entirely true. We got improved light speed tech that could take off from inside the loading bay of a freighter and stop right above the surface of a "planet".
But if you want to see a really distopian world, ban federal law enforcement from accessing these local systems. And then watch them install their own.
While the law is still respected, they literally can not install their own. This mass surveillance is an end-run around the Constitution and everyone involved is treasonous.
Unfortunately, the law is not very respected anymore, so these things will continue growing.
What is it with the addiction our governments have to mass surveillance?
The need for power and control. Everyone is born with it, many never grow out of it.
How in hell are we going to hold this thing together?
By turning programming into an actual engineering discipline? I dunno. Might be more effective than seat of the pants programming that we encourage now. But wait, yet another language will make it easy to program again.
Lazy and undisciplined. What do you think will happen? Exactly what we are seeing?
The owners are Dutch citizens. They would have been made incredibly wealthy. It is your own fault if you interpreted that statement to mean all Dutch citizens.
