Of course it is lower! You have plenty of rich people living in known places without any special security and no one comes to kidnap them because they cannot just send over their whole wealth in an irreversible transaction in a second. The

It was a win win arrangement of sorts. Europe got to spend less on defense. US won a reliable ally that would not challenge them much, and help enforce worldwide US dominance. Basically a near vassal situation.

There are way more possibilities. And the main one is that any negative effect would only be visible in a long time (let's say 10 years) and by that time it may take 10-20 years again to change course. For instance say you lower standa

Most brand values exist because purchases are social capital, and this has been the case for a long time.

I have never seen a syntax highlighter for SQL that actually covers the real deal from Postgres dialect. Basic stuff is covered and then suddenly you use a combination that isn't covered and the colors are all wrong. This is even true

Emojis are one of the best things about Unicode. They're not even that complex to handle, and they allow sooooo many things.

Hora do you know that? I've seen really well optimized React apps and very poorly optimized Svelte apps. It's not like using Svelte magically makes performance good. Just like using Unreal Engine doesn't mean that a game is o

"robust ecosystem" is a rather optimistic view of the rust situation... I would have said "a bunch of 0.x libraries that do 80% of the work and let you figure you the hard 20% while being slightly incompatible with each other

One could argue video players in general just lose relevance in an age of streaming ... And everything has definitely not crystallized around h.264. plenty of sources will give you widely different things, for instance digital cameras, webc

I have not seen that's happening anywhere. What actually happens is that parties will just focus on whoever votes and ignore the rest. Sure, maybe if participation dropped suddenly to 20% there would be comments and reactions, but anyt

This is obviously not accurate. The 48h delay is not 48h after squatters entered the place, but 48h after you DISCOVERED them. And after those 48h you will still get your property back, just much more slowly because it is just not considere

If you are a large company owning hundreds of thousands of them and knowing you will have disk failures regardless, maybe. If you own just a few hundreds and a failure costs you money the logic may be completely different.

For migration, sure, but it is very related to the history of the US (nearly everyone is a relatively recent immigrant so it feels wrong to refuse that others come in). For abortion and gender this is not correct though. It is not as hot a

I don't think people are worried about losing access to a particular LLM. They are worried about losing access to Gmail, google docs, google photos, their phone, google cloud just because of a test in an unrelated product that happens

I suppose "by some measure" means "by none whatsoever"? Tobacco sales are at lowest point for 50 years, and even occasional usage is close to 50y low. I remember when you couldn't go anywhere without smelling cold t

It is not that easy and depends a lot on context. I know people who use "usted" to their grandparents (who use "tu" in returns), but at the same time you have lots of shops where they will say "tu" to their cus

LVMH is very very far from being a monopoly. Luxottica is under investigation currently just like the tech giants are (and received already fines just like 2 years ago). De Beers was the target of antitrust multiple times, had to cancel a f

I think it vastly depends what you're writing. Any kind of function that does not have a fixed input and output gets a lot more complex with static types. And by extension any code that depends on that also gets more complex. I tried a

Plenty of things vary by location. Rent and wage have a bigger impact than sales tax on the final price in a supermarket. Yet they are able to coordinate sales prices even when the rent varies a lot, because anyway those are loss leaders an

Rust standard library is very limited and IMO a huge downside of the language, especially as the third party libraries to replace it are not up to par and also often the community has not agreed on one single standard so writing higher leve
