Best I can do instead is calling it x.

Maybe this is true for some regions, but in general the reason was money. SMS costs money, Whatsapp intially had a low one time or annual fee that was way below what you used to pay for a few SMS, but you got better service than MMS for that fee. And now it’s free and sustained by network effects.

What’s the significance of the colors? Greenish = “stealing”, orange = “okay”, yellow = “grey area”? Seems awfully negative, maybe invert the whole thing.

Reads like something a boomer would say. With a mindset like this you’re definitely part of the problem.

Technically speaking the first LTE specification didn’t meet 4G requirements either, so for a short while you could get two different fake 4Gs.

6G market entry is planned for around 2030 with first specifications being finished around 2027-28, there have always been around 10 years between generations.

They made a season without him. For the last three books they could just recast everyone, they’re set 30 years after what was covered by the show.

I think you got that wrong, you got +Inf, -Inf and two NaNs, but they’re both just NaN. As you wrote signed NaN makes no sense, though technically speaking they still have a sign bit.

The ECHR is not an EU court, it’s a Council of Europe court, different organisation.

Edit: To make things more confusing, the EU is in negotiations about joining the Council of Europe.

It is not permitted to circumvent effective technological measures

Germany has a similar law and unless it was changed it is legal to circumvent ineffective technological measures which means if you can circumvent it it is ineffective, making the entire law kind of pointless, because how would you circumvent something that can’t be circumvented.

Never had any problems. Did you used to log into an account, maybe that makes a difference?

Streaming services aren’t much better, they regularly didn’t have what I wanted to watch and I’m not subscribing to more than one. Now I’m subscribing to none and watch what I want instead of what Netflix has available.

But HN is also mostly tech biz.

Great, so I guess the future of terrorism will be fueled by people learning programming and figuring out how to make emps so they can send the murder robots back to where they came from.

Eh, they could’ve done that without AI for like two decades now. I suppose the drones would crashland in a rather destructive way due to the EMP, which might also fry some of the electronics rendering the drone useless without access to replacement components.

It’s a sampler, not a synth.

He uses his own http server called gatling and an LDAP server instead of a database.

Not sure that existed, but how would it work? There were no accounts and IPs are ephemeral.

Not an expert on trademark law, but I think “Threads by Meta” would not work as the main part of that name would still be “Threads”, “Meta Threads” could work, but if they’d make the “Meta” part not prominent in the branding then again it would probably be considered as only “Threads”.

What’s wrong with TPB?
