What duopoly? Just off the top of my head, there is at least Schindler, Otis, Kone, Toshiba, ThyssenKrupp, and Mitsubishi.

macOS is not really a good OS for running a server anyway, and Docker Desktop is intended for development more than anything else.
Re:Palm's CEO emails Steve Jobs (2007) on Sunday December 15, 2024 @04:00PM (#42425946)
Jobs tries to bully and threaten a smaller company into signing an illegal agreement and all you have to say is how great of a writer he is because of how few sentences he wrote?
Re:Gemma: New Open Models on Wednesday February 21, 2024 @05:20PM (#39460446)
To be fair, the tweet says that they don't work on the models at Google anymore, not that they have left Google.

Might be true, might not be. It's unsourced speculation.

Re:OpenAI Deal Lets Employees Sell Shares at $86B Valuation on Tuesday February 20, 2024 @12:03AM (#39438240)
(1) You can't really go based off "views" on Twitter. They don't really mean anything, just that someone scrolled past the tweet. I found that baguette tweet you were talking about, and it only had a couple thousand likes. Nothing about him seems like a master troll, that's a cop out in the style of "joke's on them I was only pretending".

(2) I think that was more down to him being the former CEO with access to inside information rather than a master manipulator...

(3) His wife having long COVID doesn't give him a free pass to promote literal conspiracy theories, where all the world's governments and press are working together to hide the truth from everyone.

Because that's illegal?

Re:Google Maps has become an eyesore on Monday August 07, 2023 @01:01AM (#37030352)
Most maps do that, even print ones. It's not about a "clean look", but about readability. There is also a scale, in the bottom right corner.
I'm not sure Elbakyan receiving this award is particularly appropriate, considering she is strongly pro-Putin and is a big fan of Joseph Stalin (she regularly quotes him on VK).
Nice conspiracy theory, but there is no declared upper limit on vitamin K.

He only made 4 commits to the repo, so probably not.
Re:Coinbase stock lost over 75% value on Monday May 09, 2022 @11:43PM (#31323190)
While "toxin" refers specifically to a poison produced by a living cell or organism, "toxic" does not -- it's a synonym of poisonous, directly derived from the Latin word for "poisonous".

"Toxin" is a newer invention, derived from "toxic" by adding the biochemistry-related suffix "-in" to indicate toxic substances of biological origin.

No, they definitely do not. Foreign relations is a federal responsibility, as laid out in the constitution.
Have you read the commerce clause? It's not very long, so I'll post it here:

You're arguing in very bad faith here. That's a huge misrepresentation of what pro-choice advocates want.

> You're demanding a special privilege for your partner and then talking as though it were a natural right.

It's not a special privilege. It's a privilege people who are straight get but not people who are gay, which is not okay.

The 16GB version of the current generation has 2GB memory. I got the 8GB (with 1GB memory) originally and ended up selling it and buying the higher-spec version. 2GB is just a much better experience under Android.
Uber is the world's most highly valued private company? Somebody better tell Saudi Aramco.
Re:Exploring the new .NET “dotnet” CLI on Thursday January 07, 2016 @10:03AM (#10858227)
I don't think that's the reason, you could just quote the filename (which is commonly done if the name contains spaces anyway):

    myapp "-verify.txt"

That would be... disturbing. Fortunately it's not true, as you can see for yourself with the chrome developer tools.

Give µBlock[1] a try, it seems to use quite a bit less memory. I've also found it to block more ads by default.

It's 20 days until the 1.0 alpha -- from the timeline in that blog post, stable would be March 30 at the earliest.
Re:Remove Ex-Mode from Neovim on Friday September 19, 2014 @09:53AM (#8340479)
The post doesn't make it clear at first, but they're not removing support for reading ex commands from stdin, just the interactive ex mode you can enter from inside the editor.
Builders get kickbacks from the manufacturer of these smart toilets if they choose to put one in when their client doesn't specify what toilet they want.

Probably not the only reason, but it definitely contributes.
