News at 10. Anonymous Coward really believes that crap. Must be legit.

After I bought a PS3 because they sold it as being able to play Ps2 games AND run Linux, they pulled the rug. Sure, I could still do those things with custom firmware, but that would opt me out of the general system, and built-in apps, which I also bought it for.

Later on, I was given a PS4. I pay for my Internet connection. I paid for Minecraft. I pay for a personal Minecraft server. But I cannot use my machine to connect through my Internet connection to a server that I own unless I give Sony a cut? I can understand if it was a connection that used their network. No thanks, Sony. You can stick it w/ this service. I have zero faith that you won't make some other arbitrary greedy move just because you can.

Screw whether it's good for Google or Microsoft. But asking for a guaranteed rate of return of 11.5% on an investment, higher than the S&P average over a number of decades is a bit much. I guess risk-free investment is only for the rich, who can afford to past the risk itself onto the tax-payers.

That's a good endorsement. Atom would randomly crash and many of the extensions would suddenly stop working or cause other issues. Does VSCode suffer from the same "option overload" that Atom has where there are too many extensions available that claim to do the same thing?

I'm old and like to code in a terminal to my Linux machines. But, Atom is my default IDE for programming in Windows. I was never overly attached to it, as it always seemed fidgety and buggy. Maybe this is the prod that I needed to move on to something better. What do you Atom fans intend to switch to? VsCode? I've heard great things about WebStorm, but I am just not into the idea of having yet another subscription.

I am, in general in-decisive. I find that I do typically make "better" or more accurate decisions than generally decisive people, but I've learned over time that this isn't always a good thing. There's a payoff in being able to make a less accurate decision more quickly vs. making a more accurate one with more time and effort. Some highly decisive people get a better payoff because they know that being 100% correct on small things isn't worth the cost. However there are also highly decisive people who are that way because of their own arrogance (pointy haired boss types).

It's good to know what kind of decision-maker you are, and to train yourself to be aware which decisions require more accuracy.

W/ Binance it's probably to pay Musk back for all of the crypto market manipulation he did via Tweets in the last two years.

Assuming that the percentage is correct, you could then compare added fuel costs to the cost of a launch being delayed by weather. Then factor in the chances of that happening at each location. There's a chance that price increase is negligible.

No. That isn't the issue at hand. It's the fact that giants like Coca Cola can profit massively off of pollution, while putting the burden of cleaning up their mess onto external recycling programs. There's no incentive for them to cut waste other than to improve their public image. And in the case, it's cheaper to pay a popular TV figure than to actually putting an effort into solving the problem. They need to be compelled, not encouraged.

Because teaching some level of undergraduate courses is customary in post-grad work. However in the past two decades, it has become increasingly more exploitative. Universities are giving out fewer tenured positions, and increasing profits by putting that workload on the students. Traditionally that student-supplied work was intended to give the student experience, but it has gone woefully beyond that. And in non-Ivy league schools the same thing is happening, except they are slowly wiping out full-time teaching positions all-together, and increasingly beginning to rely on student-teachers who are paid less than minimum wage, and adjunct professors who have to juggle classes at multiple schools while making less than $30k combined a year for a 60 hour+ work week while not being eligible for any benefits. Higher Ed. is profiting off of exploitation, full stop. This is pushback, and it's about time.

Seriously. If anything it shows that they're willing to acknowledge mistakes in the data.

If this were true the market would also buy the dip, basically factoring that into the price and smoothing it out. You and I have the same opportunity to buy that fictional dip. It would be a moronic reason for Amazon to split their shares.

The phrase is lame corporate BS, for sure. But where does it say that the employees were told to refer to each other using this term? I mean apart from Boing Boing inferring it? As far as I can tell, Zuck had put this dumb motto in a super corny slide, which was riffing off of Instagram's "Ship, Shipmates, Self" values guideline. Just a dumb corporate meeting catch phrase to sum up their new focus. Tons of big companies do this. It's Meme-worthy, I guess. but not news worthy.

Hey, Amazon Prime has free shipping (nope, now any product that is eligible for Prime shipping is marked up in price)
Hey, now Amazon Prime includes a huge music library (nope, now that's additional if you want to listen to most things).
Hey, now Amazon Prime includes free Whole Foods delivery (nope, now that's extra)

On top of it all, Amazon, who used to have competitive prices is no longer the first place to shop for most things. They're too big to worry about value and they've been that way for too long.

Yeah. It's called noticing the word crypto, and quickly moving on. Brains are neat like that.
