I imagine the person who wrote the article would respond like "Machine learning? That's so 2010s, get on with the times."

Why the pharmacies? I noticed the same thing visiting Vegas, half the shops on the strip are pharmacies

>I haven't found any justification for blocking Firefox They don't want to spend on QA for another browser

Many people in the history of the internet have made a lot of money by doing something that was "worth something for a bit and then everybody caught up"

My experience in university was the exact opposite. The stuff we were using was 5-10 years behind what industry was using.

I can't speak for anybody else, but some days this is what dev work feels like to me.

Atom worked that way as well

Thanks! I knew the idea was so obvious somebody else had already gone through with it

GP was asking specifically about sending images and video as wpp images and video (which is why he mentioned them being re-encoded). I suspect that sending that amount of data as wpp text messages wou…

I meant that the ISP would block wpp image and video traffic, but would allow text through. It has been several years since this happened, so I may be misremembering.

I have thought about this for years, ever since ISPs in my country started advertising "unlimited whatsapp" on otherwise data limited plans. It would only work for text and not images or vid…

If you're asking the above question, it means you already think the company is bad according to your own morals.

Would it work that way? A non-trivial portion of the emissions of those countries are caused by manufacturing products that are exported to the US and Europe

>It is also mind boggling that rail is not more popular there That would require the upper class to mix with the poor. Not acceptable in Chile.

computers can't smell

Spotify has a 12bn budget? What are they spending it on? Does it include licensing fees?

That's a false dichotomy. You may have to trust someone but that someone could be something else than an opaque for-profit company.

yeah, only American companies should be allowed to do that!

I was 100% expecting to see a reimplementation of that game

Well you usually cannot sell derivative works as your own.

They have always done this, for some reason people buy it anyway, so they have no incentive to stop doing it.

In my experience the most used mechanism is "I worked with this person before, they're pretty good, give them a call"

You could buy it in Mexico I guess?

Yes, around the world electric freight locomotives are powered by overhead lines, and more occasionally by a third rail. It is a mature technology and the US is an exception among industrialized count…

Capitalism does work like that, except being able to retire into a life of comfort is only defined by your ability to make a lot of money

>it's just that the electric part is generated by a diesel engine while technically correct, not a useful observation

They have all of these big monuments to their "Guerra do Ultramar" too, I don't think there was any sort of nationwide realization of what that implies.
