The Uber example is also an outright lie. They acquired those customers by burning billions of dollars to deliver rides below the cost of providing them. Then they raised prices beyond their competition to account for their ridiculous overh

I agree! Your system is already heavily compromised if this is a problem for you. I think the real problem lies in a lack of visibility into the state of the device. A compromised dongle could easily be transferred between machines. What we

I literally described my experience of booking a taxi before Uber. Many of the local services also had apps that showed the location of the car and a fixed price before Uber was available here.

I don't agree that Uber was a better solution than taxis. They drove their competition out by offering rides far below the cost to provide them. Now they're more expensive than what they replaced, and with far worse service. Take

Virtually all of the built in commandlets have one or more aliases set by default. e.g. Get-ChildItem is aliased to "gci", "ls", and probably "dir" as well.

The main issue with ARC seems to be driver support in specific games, DX11 being particularly problematic. Intel basically have to catch up on the ~10-20 years of kludges that AMD, Nvidia, and game devs had already implemented when the game

Everyone involved does a pretty poor job imo. The processors/chipsets seem to do what they're they're supposed to. However, it's far too easy for other parties to create a scenario that prevents the system from reaching

What do you think happens to the wealthy when the government does not ensure the majority of people are well fed and secure? Does the mob respect property rights?

Gitlab's biggest issue has always been their ridiculous approach to pricing. It simply isn't worth paying ~20-30x more per developer than comparable tools. Feature segmentation can be entirely reasonable. However, gating something

They're not really designing the item though. They're paying a drop-shipping manufacturer to print/etch a graphic or text into a white-label item. It's so little effort that the platform has been entirely flooded with lo

Sadly, we didn't end up implementing it ourselves. Release notes were a "nice to have" so it became one of those things that gets kicked down the road. The primary advantage of the ticket-based approach is that it's much

I've seen the same thing done within the ticketing system. It's useful when you might want non-developers to contribute to the notes. Being able to dedicate a tag, field, or work item type is pretty handy.

I think it serves a few potential purposes: It provides a solid, accurate draft that can be expanded on when targeting non-technical users. I've often found that lack of visibility leads to messy commits. Surfacing these messages in th

Interest rates get brought up every time this topic is discussed and the math remains the same. Even accounting for the difference in interest rates, people are much worse off today than they were in the 80s.

The torrents would be snapshots of the repo at a particular point in time. Updates couldn't be fetched through the torrent via git pull. I'd assume that op wants a torrent that can be pushed/pulled from.

fwiw this seems to be partially in place already. Requests for access to files, location, mic, and camera usually give me the option of allowing them all of the time or only when the app is open. I've also noticed system notifications
