NEVER!

True.

As the U.S. government decided to restrict some technologies to China, it should have been more serious about these restrictions. But due to a somewhat permissive licensing policy maintained by the U.S. Department of Commerce, due to the Chinese firms being able to smuggle or buy these technologies on the black market, due to the fierce resilience of companies like Huawei that refused to fail, and due to the very extensive lobbying efforts of American companies to continue to supply to Chinese customers, the export control policy was severely weakened.

I never really thought about the black market. If each country has a different tariff depending on their relationship to this administration, then a country that doesn’t comply can still get what they need from the US through other countries. Really best of both worlds.

It doesn’t make sense to turn off the U.S. as an attractor to some of the scientists yearning for some aspect of freedom, and it doesn’t make sense to deport a lot of people who could form the manufacturing industrial base in the U.S.

I never understood why the US would educate people and then try to kick them out in a short time frame. You are basically making other countries better and gaining little from it.

First off thank you for the info. Second what comes next is not directed towards you.

SO WHAT THE FUCK IS THE FUCKING PROBLEM THEN?!

There are already a lot of products and services created to block adult material. Instead of wasting millions of dollars and thousands of hours of human power, they could’ve made a law to opt-in to these services at the service provider level.

For example, in this situation, nearly all blocking services would block 4chan.

As a developer, I don’t believe in multitasking for this very reason.

Looking at OP’s responses, I think your assumption is correct.

When OP said chopping board I thought he meant to chop or saw wood on.

Java has been around a really long time and I was still surprised how well it did.

I am shocked Fortran didn’t do better. I don’t code in Fortran. I assumed languages closer machine would do well.

Why would you allow any outsider to your code without using version control?

The word “could” can refer to anytime in history.

Just because someone tried to murder someone and did everything they could do to make the murder happen, doesn’t mean they didn’t just because they got caught trying to do so, changed their mind so they wouldn’t get caught, and gave the person, that they tried to murder, money.

Just because Microsoft did everything they could to kill Linux and Mac, doesn’t mean they didn’t just because an antitrust case was building up, changed their business practices, and invested money in Apple.

Also it’s no thesis. In 2001, Microsoft settled with the DOJ and changed their business practices.

Okay look at the history. Look at the Macworld introduction to Microsoft Office. The Apple community wasn’t happy about it. Microsoft made a lot of money and kept themselves from being a monopoly. You think they did that out of the kindness of their hearts?

I bet if we talk about Linux, you’re going to bring up that Microsoft joined the Linux Foundation and completely ignoring their anti competitive practices before that.

You make it seem like Microsoft didn’t do everything they could to kill Linux and Mac.

They supported Intel Macs for 4 years now. I wish it was a little longer. This will probably shutdown Hackintosh and OpenCore Legacy Patcher updates.

Speaking at an event promoting his new book, Clegg said the creative community should have the right to opt out of having their work used to train AI models.

No, it should be the opposite. The creative community should have to opt in. AI can run off the uploaded pieces. Everything else is theft.

But he claimed it wasn’t feasible to ask for consent before ingesting their work first.

What the fuck…?! Send a fucking email. If you don’t get an answer, then it’s a “No”. Learn to take no for an answer.

If getting rid of DEI is really about getting the best people for the job, then why aren’t Asian Americans, who usually get the highest GPA in schools and highest performance reviews in corporate and government jobs, dominating in all levels? Something ain’t white about that…

Contracts always have some bullshit like: “We can do whatever the fuck we want. Service not guaranteed. We have the right to refuse service to anyone. Lifetime is defined by the lifetime of the service which is defined by us. Can change at anytime.”

Saying they are cutting the EV incentive is just another form of market manipulation.

They want people to panic buy, just like they did with cell phones, just like the stock market. It’s all manipulation.

You know what, people can just add their own bluetooth speaker.

I think it’s fine.
