If Corporations are people, and they commit felonies, maybe the US can assume control of the corp?

In an ideal future of course

Will PayPal need to provide the IRS tax forms as if you had sold/exchanged commodities/currencies?

Re:Why I Don't Take Notes on Tuesday October 20, 2020 @02:45PM (#24840933)
Hi Jacob. Paul Graham's comments are only accurate if you apply reflective practices and gain the learning. There might be some learnings, but they are inconsistent, weak and and easily lost. If you only have one conversation a day, then you'll probably think about it later that day. Taking notes allows you to reflect on it later, especially if you have a busy schedule. Jarvis talks about this, but you'll see reflection being promoted as a necessity in many learning theories

I was wrong. I must have rememberd an early draft or the translation layer

EDIT: Looks like I was wrong when I thought IPv6 was backwards compatible

IPv6 is backwards compatible so why would we "finally roll off IPv4"? IPv6 has been "here" in production for over a decade, and has seen slow adoption. I suspect it may be another 8-10 years until IPv6 gets close to a majority, but wouldn't IPv4 still be in-use?

What would force a roll off of IPv4?

Either way, I too would like to know more about how IPv4 space has appreciated/depreciated in the past decade

Previously the Google apologists said that it was just the "free" service, but now even Google's premium products get the axe!

The DOJ under Obama also looked into antitrust suit of a google seven years ago but decided not to act
I read years ago that the starvation wasn’t necessarily distribution, but rather corruption that prevented the distribution. Is that incorrect?

This also reminds me of university costs. They're allowed to continuously increase prices non-stop, but then the politicians want to just cancel student debt. They probably should have just capped the prices instead

The headline and this sentence seem contradictory

This has been in work for over a year. This is not suspicious to anyone that's seen the headlines

> 20% of that, 14,000 searches per second, seems a meaningful number of searches to scale to.

This is only part of the story. 20% to me is not really meaningful. More importantly, Google wields power to affect the 80%. 20% is a paltry alternative.

Sure, and sit ins are peaceful. But it should explicitly say "peaceful".

Those aspects are also too inward/selfish.

What About the company? Did you join for the mission, is the mission something you still support, is the mission something the leadership actually conveys or is it lip service, do you feel you’re in a position to be impactful for that mission.

Sometimes you might get a crappy job at a company with a cool mission (such as SpaceX) but it doesn’t mean you have to leave. Transfer internally!
