Yeah I disagree. As the article said > RFC 8259 raises the important point that ultimately implementations decide what a JSON number is. Any implementation dealing with money or monetary rates should know that it needs to deal with preci

No. A rolling shutter deals with different parts of the sensor being exposed at different times within one frame. It generally requires a much faster object (think airplane propeller or light with PWM). This is effectively multiple frame

This is exactly what I think of when considering actual remote work expenses for myself. I live in 600sqft which is not bad for a place to live. But not great for one, let alone two people to work. In terms of quality of life, I think havin

Losing your job is a big deal to the average person, but a salary cut is immaterial to a big tech executive. An executive salary cut would save hundreds of jobs. People are laid off because the company is trying to spend less. There are mu

Hardware like TVs are especially insidious because unlike a service you don't simply decide to stop using it one day and the ad revenue stops. Rather ad revenue continues for the lifetime of the TV and there is very little chance that

Thanks for the recap. That sounds pretty familiar. I found https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Block_size_limit_controversy to refresh myself as well, but there's clearly a lot of detail missing.
