...it has a name, Tragedy of the Commons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Some Insta personalities claim they are making millions (and maybe a few actually do). Ban them, and charge a commensurate fee to restore, not chicken feed! #leaving_money_on_the_table

Indeed, but the problem is elsewhere. Company lip service, which he deemed sincere and spoke up. He was intelligent, and correct -- but not wise.

>This is reminiscent of when the company was caught pushing the OnePlus 5's performance capabilities when the OS detected a benchmark app. This resulted in artificially inflated scores that users would not see during real-world usage.

1. Install benchmark

2. Keep it forever

3. Profit!!

Did ol' Strunk and White say anything about the difference between "can" and "may"? --P.S. They "might", huh.

Agreed! I have an old machine somewhere running Knoppix, and the browser is IceWeasel. BTW, oldversion.com has old versions of Audacity

More in the spirit would be: impose a cap. Anything in a Roth beyond, say, 10 million does get taxed. Anything beyond 100 million gets taxed at a higher rate. That's still a comfortable retirement!

I had been using Skype a lot, but dropped it when MS took over; I knew they were going to screw it up. Sure enough, they had the incumbent's advantage and yet Zoom came along and ate their lunch.

If I ask for a definition, or a translation, most of the snippets appearing consist of some generic site description -- boilerplate, not including the answer. But generally there will be a couple actually providing the answer...in the first results page, or maybe the second. Thus no-click.

That was with Google; currently I use duckduckgo or startpage, can't say whether it makes a no-click difference.

The law should be amended. First time a mistaken or false DMCA claim goes out, the violator pays a small fine. Second time, a bigger fine. Third time, a major fine and the violator is blocked from issuing DMCAs for three months. Skin in the game.

Right. Indeed, sophisticated ransomware won't strike immediately upon penetrating a system; they linger, find out how backups are done and render them unusable. It takes alertness and planning to foil this.

I read a lot faster than people speak, plus I can skim or skip as I see fit; which is why I hardly ever listen to podcasts. Most of them are a waste of time, passivity for half an hour, not to say 2 or 3, with meager and disappointing results -- compared to the material offered in writing, which I can peruse in a few minutes. Ymmv, of course, but such has been my experience.
