Fuck you and that Ribbon.

I'm sorry. This is a topic that makes me nerd-rage.

How in the fuck does using 15% of the screen for a ribbon provide a compact interface when the menu bar is the competition?

LK

I'm so happy to hear of how many people are expressing this same sentiment.

I absolutely abhor the Ribbon interface. I don't care what their market research shows. I don't care what their shills and evangelists say. I do not like it. It's not intuitive at all.

I have hated the Ribbon interface since it became the default. I use LibreOffice specifically to avoid having to use it.

That is so not true. There is no wind or solar installation anywhere in the world that can match actual demand (at scale) in the way that coal can for a competitive price. Wind/solar + natural gas can almost certainly, but not wind/solar and battery.

Kind of a silly thing for her to say. How many non-Klingons do you see in the Klingon empire vs non-humans in the Federation?

That's why Amazon wanted to acquire Ring.

I have a ring camera and I'm hesitant to install it for this reason.

If that could happen, then why doesn't it happen now? There is nothing stopping anyone make movies that way today. The fact that it doesn't happen suggests it is not really viable.

I know that it is not front-running in the strictest sense. However, they are essentially using information about market dislocations, and their speed advantages to put themselves in a position to profit from trades they know are almost certain to happen. I do not see why exchanges couldn't just share information directly and fill orders with each others without having HFTers put themselves in the middle.

I donâ(TM)t think we need a tax on transactions.

I donâ(TM)t mind HFT if they are genuinely responding to what they observe to be asset misprints. Is the front running of othersâ(TM) orders that I think is most egregious.

Therefore my solution would be to timestamp all trades, and have a computer solve for the fairest price based on the order of the trades after a small delay. So if a HFT company sees a big order in one location, and they try to front run it, they will be put in the back of the line, and the orders will be filled after the big order they were trying to front run is executed.

To be clear, they would still be allowed to cancel their order, but that cancellation needs to be sent before someone else has accepted their order.

It's the Washington Post that Bezos owns, not the Wall Street Journal.

It may not erase your debt, but there is a cost to debt recovery, and the typical value of a phone means most companies do not want to bother with debt collection on such a small amount.

Sim locking is a "good" way to prevent a customer taking advantage of a discount to acquire a phone cheaply from one network provider and using the phone with a different network.

I don't have a problem with it if the company makes it clear that the phone will only be mine once I fulfil my contract.

Maybe the halfway house is that platforms keep their section 230 protections, but must identify any users that post illegal content, i.e. anonymity must remain an option for all users who are posting content that is not illegal.

No country can afford to take in unlimited refugees. At some point, the answer becomes another question. "How to we raise the standard of living for people in that country because we can not afford to take any more of them here?"

anthropo...genic? I'm not sure what anthropomorphic climate change would be like.
