Yep, I had writeups from those flame wars. They *REALLY* did not want it discussed. Governors Brown and Kotek continued the pay-to-play system, which is what lost Oregon the Ohio CHIPs foundry campus (before they realized that Biden wasn't going to pay out CHIPs act at all).
All one needs to see this is to be employed at Intel in June, when every single monitor becomes rainbows and the rainbow flag flies on campus every month.
Among widely available fonts under OFL, GNU GPL for Fonts, or other free licenses, not many of them cover the 2,100-odd Jouyou (regularly used) kanji and 1,000 name kanji that BadDreamer mentioned. It's a lot easier to make a font that covers 100-200 characters from two alphabets, such as Chilanka that covers the Latin and Malayalam scripts in a distinctive and dyslexia-friendly handwritten style, than one that covers 3,000 different kanji made of 600 radicals (as iggymanz mentioned) with manually-tuned slight variations to their shapes to make them fit next to each other in a character.
you could still [write Japanese] in native language with a manageable scope by sticking to the phonetic scripts.
Exclusive use of kana (Japanese phonetic characters) was common in games for MSX, Famicom, and other 8-bit platforms. The one problem with that is the sheer number of homophones in both Chinese and Japanese, words spoken the same and written differently. Kana normally don't even distinguish which syllable a word is accented on, which would be like writing Chinese without its tones. Yet somehow Korean avoided this and switched from Chinese characters (Hanja) to a suitable phonetic alphabet (Hangul).
Do you believe in a right to privacy of action? If I've murdered someone and taken their wallet, is that none of your business?
Money is not speech. Money is action. Money is backed by obligations - public obligations. The only bilateral agreement is a gentleman's agreement. As soon as you need any kind of stronger agreement than that, you need a third party. And that can be a mafia don, or it can be your tribe's patriarch to wage blood feuds over you, or it can be a government.
From public view? That's trivial. Deposit it in a bank, and pay your bills from it there. The public can't go in and see what you've spent money on.
But you probably meant from the government's view, didnt you? That's called money laundering. The reason it's illegal is that if it weren't, the whole system that makes money practical and safe to use in your everyday dealings would come crashing down. Even faster than it already is, I mean. We would be back to blood feuds before you could blink.
There's a word for a person who would submit untainted coins to a tumbler without compensation (i.e, getting back more coins than they put in).
That word is "sucker". Sure, there are many people who will tell you that it's a perfectly normal thing to give your money to a likely money launderer in the hopes of getting back the same amount, just for "privacy". They're hoping you'll do it. They're fishing for suckers.
Not to mention the millions spent on DEI hiring of marginal people based only on demographics.
He did, on the promise of the Biden CHIPs act money- the employees ballooned to 145,000 worldwide by October 2022.
Due to CHIPs act not coming through as planned, in December 2022 they started rounds of layoffs, which Lu Tan is continuing
I believe this is what they call "dummy bidding".
They don't care which way the issue goes, they just want there to be a way for money in on both sides, so that no side gets its way too cheaply.
I distinctly remember people recommending use of a tablet with external keyboard as a substitute for entry-level subnotebook computers when the latter were discontinued in fourth quarter 2012. This despite that major tablets ship with operating systems locked down not to run the sort of lightweight software development environments that could run on the desktop operating system of a netbook.
Hello, this is your slashdot comment. Just interact with it like you normally would.
Political correctness? From what I've heard, Stranger Things had a heavy handed political turn in later seasons, but it wasn't to the left.
The real question is whether SEGA or Phil Collins's label will sue first.
Much of the DOGE commission's responsibility had been moved to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) for the past several months. See "DOGE 'cut muscle, not fat'; 26K experts rehired after brutal cuts" by Ashley Belanger
