Knowingly.

Microkernel architectures still always involve doing a full context switch when moving between processes. All the registers need to be reloaded, importantly including the entire page table. The page table flush is particularly painful.

"the Clinton administration a year and a half ago" likely in much deeper now ðY

And this is where the federal legislation has to go. I can easily see Congress making the requirement only for military agencies, in which case, the only companies bidding for the "right of repair" will be companies willing to forgo a repair monopoly. A repair monopoly or a ban on product repair is as damaging to consumers as a standard monopoly. And all this corporate repair practices stem from "intellectual property" laws which never was implemented to aid product monopolies. Just tell these "intellectual property" zealots to go burn in hell.

Would you rather it was efficent or effective?

âoeMake it easierâ is not a product strategy

TDS isn't helpful either

It also makes it more difficult to ensure a profit. The company has to "front" even more money (tariff) before they can start selling the item. If they overestimate the product's sales desirability, it takes away available operating credit to do other things.

It also depresses sales, because the tariff raises the price of the item to consumers, who subsequently may become less "carefree" about their spending patterns. An income tax doesn't affect consumer purchasing perception; the absence of tariffs surcharges do not trigger "hesitation" towards a purchase, based on price. Finally, tariffs end up suppressing the money raised for state and local sales tax; they need revenue as well.

Like it or not there are legacy industry specific hardware adapters out there for ISA. That's why it was quite late to be removed from motherboards.

Patents are designed to make it worth to invest in research and development, by granting a law-protected exclusive use for a period of time. If you put taxes on holding a patent, the developer/manufacturer will just add that on top of the consumer price (remember, exclusivity - nobody else can manufacture it), or will just not bother with the R&D in the first place, if the consumers are not willing to pay for that.

Some patent reform is probably warranted. Maybe a patent should be valid for a shorter period, or maybe it should not be possible to "extend" patents through various tricks.

The reality is that as relatively important international tourism is for NYC, the overwhelming amount of tourist dollars is domestic. NYC is a lot cheaper way to see "the world" than actually flying to those places. Especially now with the utterly unnecessary inclusion of US tourism in the tariff war...

I'm not here to defend MAGA retardation. I just don't believe good discourse is served by presenting pro or anti bubble, factually flawed arguments. While on one hand, I can understand the rationale for the US to initiate tariff actions, in order to "holistically" encourage domestic investment in manufacturing. But its being done in the most incompetent way imaginable, thanks to our "Dear Leader".

You forgot medical and pharmaceutical advances. the US lets the pharmaceutical industry rape its customers to provide the 0.1% the bleeding edge medical tech and treatments, and then lets the rest of the world access it for a lower price than Americans. Granted, one can blame American voter stupidity for that, but it doesn't change the overall point.

Fuck you for Jar-Jar. You cratered your esthetic directorial reputation with your arbitrary desire to constantly revise your cinematic works.

It could; its not a "won't". There's nothing wrong with dreaming.

If you're not completing a full orbit around the Earth, you're just on a "vomit comet". Any pencil pusher can say "62 miles means you're reached "outer space". The Laws of Physics determines that one can't complete a full orbit around the Earth and not have reached "outer space".

> The final death rattle of US-bound tourism, as if it wasn't terminally ill to begin with.

Speaking for New York, we're part of a nation of 335 million people. Domestic tourism alone can keep NY's tourist industry propped up. Its just that the tourist that required a visa usually have more spending money and superior manners.
