If bitcoin was really regarded as currency, rather than some sort of asset, wouldn't headlines like this say the amount of bitcoin being given away for promotional purpose?
If someone were giving out cash promotions in Euros, Yen, Pounds, Yuan or any other genuine currency, you'd expect to see the number started as the amount of that currency, maybe with a subtext about how it translates to US dollars.
C "for" loops perform iteration test before starting. So if n = 1 and argc = 0, the loop will not run.
The question "Who writes crap like this?" could also be asked of your overly heated message with incorrect analysis of the code.
All social media sites reflect the values of the people who use them, and the people who run them. So yeah, you certainly could say they suck because they're inhabited by people who mainly engage pop culture, "small talk", and personal relationships you don't value. And you could say they such because they're run by pro-profit corporations who collect and manipulate vast amounts of personal information.
Both those "new" social networks also reflect the values of people, mostly folks consumed by crazy conspiracy theories, dangerous disinformation, and hate towards minorities.
In the late 1990s, it was said Windows 98 looked so much like Windows 95 because Apple hadn't done anything worth copying for 3 years.
Those were the last few years when Apple stagnated and nearly went out of business, before Steve Jobs returned.
But they also didn't have Facebook, Youtube and Fox News in 1918.
Asking what is believable, rather than what is true, or what is supported by credible facts & evidence is what's gone so wrong with political discourse.
TSMC & Intel's "nanometer" aren't at all the same thing.

It's kind of like comparing cheap little computer speakers claiming to be 50 watts to normal a stereo system. They're just gaming the spec. You'd think more tech enthusiasts would take notice that chips claiming such different manufacturing specs have similar performance (Ryzen is faster but not massively so). It's a pretty effective marketing strategy.
Apple's main website no longer links to that old 21.5 inch iMac sales page. They discontinued 2 of the 4 prior storage options weeks ago. Leading up to the event this week, rumor sites were reporting many Apple retail stores had completely run out of stock on 21.5 inch iMacs.
Pretty sure Apple will not "keep selling that for at least the next decade".
As for what could be considered "pure profit", Apple's M1 chip is said to be about 120 square mm, which is about half size of Intel's latest chips. That half-cost chip comes with an integrated GPU that rivals the lower range of discrete graphics cards. The whole thing runs on only 15 watts, so they also save on power supply, voltage conversion and cooling parts. The whole computer fits onto a tiny circuit board, also lowering cost when manufactured at high volume.
Even at Apple's premium prices these new iMacs are going to deliver a great value, and at a much lower cost to Apple.
Yes, anyone who engages in sustained pattern of soliciting sexual favors from coworkers and colleagues should lose their job, especially when that job is a leadership or public spokesperson position.
But only the most egregious circumstances should they be publicly ostracized. Orchestrating a secretive process to return to a top-level leadership position after being ousted for a long history of such abusive behavior, without expressing any remorse, much less commitment to behave better, would be right up there in those circumstances where ostracized by public spectacle is warranted.
How overt sexual advances are communicated doesn't matter. Printing on a business card or any other media doesn't make this abusive behavior ok. But this is far from merely a case of one business card. It's a clear case of egregious & unrepentant sexual misconduct.
Anyone doing this at any corporation or large company would be promptly fired.
Theoretically, all Mac software could be fat binaries for PPC, i386 and x86-64.
Realistically, Mac software built for PPC faded away a long time ago.
Maybe things will go differently this time? Somehow, I'm skeptical hardly any software publishers are going to ship Mac x86-64 support 5 years from now.
Yes, agreed, evidence of a serious crime should be reported to authorities.
But when they do not promptly prosecute anyone, the proper course of action can not be to then send that evidence to a partisan tabloid media company and political operatives like Rudy Giuliani.
Ethically speaking, it's a disaster. He deserves a ruined reputation.
Here you are on deeply nested slashdot comments, railing against things that will get you bogged down in nearly meaningless discussions.
MacOS is BSD only if your understanding of computers is limited to tech of the early 1990s, before USB and other hot-plugging hardware became the norm.
Like how modern Linux has udev for management of dynamically attached hardware, MacOS as I/O Registry & IOKit and numerous modern APIs, which are distinctly not BSD.
At best a subset of MacOS is BSD.
Several video editing reviews on YouTube have specifically mentioned most 3rd party plugins for Final Cut Pro do not yet work. Apparently Rosetta 2 can't run them. Maybe it's because Final Cut Pro is running native ARM code?
The no-plugins Final Cut Pro performance looks absolutely astounding, so I'm pretty sure those 3rd parties will soon port their code. But if you edit video in Final Cut and use any plugins, the reality today isn't quite "almost no downsides whatsoever".
Likewise for virtual machines or bootcamp...
