Most people with ad blockers don't realize how unusable the web is for those that don't have ad blockers. I think most would agree this is a poor state that industry incentives have landed us in, and with the web being distributed, it's hard to know how to fix.
Similarly those who use Linux probably don't realize how bad Windows has got recently.
Microsoft has managed to replicate this awful ux problem on a system that they entirely control...
I agree with that. But isn't the net money that goes from the VC to the fusion company included in the 3% that the article mentions which is adding value by servicing individuals and companies when they need money?
While the argument is that the other 97% of transactions in the finance world add no value. And that 97 >> 3.
That said I don't agree that they add "no value", market efficiency is provided which seems to be a valuable thing in some sense. But i find it quite interesting to think about, especially when you look at them in purely monetary terms as being zero sum.
I wonder this about the massive increase in crawlers too.
What happened to the computer misuse act? If I specifically state that my site is not to be crawled, via robots.txt and other mechanisms, why does continuously hammering it not count as illegitimate access? Do they need to breach some sign in / explicit t+c agreement for that to apply?
This raises a question in my head. If the author was to update the license to something restrictive, consumers and transitive consumers will npm update at some point, and likely not notice the dependency change.
They would then be breaking the license terms without realizing.
Is there anything in npm to protect against this? Projects have hundreds of dependencies, it's not feasible to manually check licenses haven't changed every time you update.
The website mentions never forgetting to take medication, which is one reason I downloaded it.
But I wasn't able to find a way to set frequency in days rather than minutes.
Hi maniacwhat,
Thanks for your feedback!
Indeed, in this first version the user can only define a frequency in minutes. Technically, we could define a frequency in days but it would be less convenient as it is.
I keep in mind this feature for a future version!
Whatever you think of the ban, it looks like the Republicans played the politics game very successfully here.
1. Get the ban to come in a day before Trump enters office. While the opposition is in power.
2. Get them to announce to all their market that trump will save the app.
3. Swoop in and save the day.
I think the young generation will remember Trump as the man who rescued tiktok.
