I'm pretty sure that is about banning bad actors across the whole ecosystem. You know, because Minecraft is a game targeted at kids. And maybe you don't someone spouting racist/sexist garbage at them all day.

It's no longer a native app, it was rewritten in 2015 to be non-native. It's the same story everywhere, they're using Electron (or similar) so they can maintain one codebase for everything written in HTML/CSS/JS.

I think the problem is that it wasn't low maintenance. The moderation of the links for malicious links was becoming an increasing drain on resources. It's the same problem most large tech services run into eventually.

This ignores the elephant in the room that in the 90s insurance companies just wouldn't pay, claim pre-existing condition, and bankrupt the patient.

Public service means government run. A newspaper isn't a public service (in the US), but official notices can and do appear there. Even if no one reads the newspaper anymore. Same thing with private broadcasters like CNN, Fox News, etc

Novo Nordisk (the maker of the newest insulin Levemir) spends about 17.8b kroner a year on R&D (or about 12.6% of their revenue). Levemir was introduced in 2005; they've long since made up any R&D costs. The first synthetic ins

The A64FX has way worse performance per watt than an AMD EPYC and an A100. The A64FX's density per U is higher, so you can get a lot more cores in the same datacenter, even if the TFLOPS/watt is far worse. For example, if you look

I read 'dedicated security chip' as something akin to an external chip like a TPM chip as opposed to dedicated transistors in the CPU die (which is more secure). So it sounds like we're agreeing.
