I mean I think the guy is stupid, but let’s honestly reflect here, who gives a fuck about some leaked Nintendo game getting played a week or two early. Like honestly, it might not technically be victimless (though even that can be argued), but the ‘damage’ is so small it’s like being upset that someone stepped on your grass.

More specialized is critical.

You have to understand your domain, what your goal is, how much time and money you have, etc.

There is a concept called prior art in patent law. Prior art is information about the invention that exists before filing, it can both help secure a patent as well as prevent someone filing a patent for someone else’s existing invention.

Care to provide some context? I’ve never heard of Google permanently disabling pixel phones.

Reddit was like that 15 years ago.

I think you may have missed my point.

.gov is not the same as .gov.us (in this example, .gov is not the tld, .us is) Tlds like .io belong to countries, there is no going back to .gov or .com because countries outside of the US never just used .gov or .com.

To add a bit of context:

https://www.parliament.uk/ https://www.parliament.lk/

How do you reconcile both of these websites having .gov? You can’t, you either need second level domains (.gov.uk,.gov.ik) or you would need one of them to change their name (parliamentsrilanka.gov)

.gov needs to be differentiated, and you need all of these country TLDs for that.

You could create your own DNS server with its own routes and registrars.

If you got enough people to use your DNS network you could create your own registrars and your own rules.

Users would need to switch to your DNS, but otherwise there isn’t anything about how the Internet works that requires you to use the big dog DNS

Who gets .gov? The US?

Other countries never used just .gov or just .com.

You keep posting this graph with no context, but the euro has also had very high inflation.

This is bad faith and you know it, that’s why you aren’t actually discussing it, just posting a misleading graph.

USD had 141% cumulative inflation since 1990

Euro has 115%

The pound has 143%

Brazil ( a member of brics) has nearly 1000% since 1994 (25 million percent from 1990 like the other countries.

China, arguably the biggest contender for stability in brics has 160% inflation.

Why aren’t you including charts for all of these countries? And why are you using a chart showing inflation values from before USD was used as the international currency in 1944 with the bretton woods conference, without demonstrating why that is important and what it means? Given that this is in the context of global currencies?

Isn’t the first graph just general inflation? What does purchasing comparing purchasing power mean in this scenario? And how does it compare to other currencies like the pound or the euro?

Also the conclusion of the second article you linked seems to indicate that no other large scale currencies are replacing the shares of the US dollar, instead things like gold and diversified currencies are taking up this space, those don’t take the place for international trade.

Neither of these seem like a death knell for USD to me.

Damn, you just SLAMMED me.

Yes, honestly the fact that ‘youtube music’ is literally just a different frontend for YouTube drives me nuts, it goes both ways, the YouTube app for TV doesn’t have proper features either, it’s unclear if you are getting the music or video version and the most egregious of them all imo, on the TV app, you can’t freaking browse for a different song while music is playing, you have to stop the song to go to the search bar.

Cli doesn’t make much sense to me either when the *arr suite has a well documented rest API already.

They don’t convey the same information.

Infinity isn’t really an amount of something.

The bridge just creates imap/smtp servers, so you should be able to add it to thunderbird on Android.

With docker it’s quite easy (assuming you are familiar with docker)

But docker / containerization is a skill that becomes really really helpful to learn if you are interested in this type of thing.

I’ll take the L… but I’m gonna blame it on sleepyheadedness, lol.

Something to consider is that any given instance can be a bad actor and do whatever the hell they want.

A resume with no PII, how are they gonna call you for the interview?

And what is the point of encrypting it? If they can’t decrypt it then you just sent them a jumble of bits, and if they can, then what was the point?

That’s possible though, if there are some really bad drivers screwing the average.

Edit: it’s probably even true in this case, it just depends on how you define ‘good’. For example if you define it by getting tickets, only 36% of drivers are issued tickets. The average number of tickets issued is > 0 but the majority of drivers aren’t issued tickets, the average is skewed, because most drivers are at 0.
