I’d hardly call them “orders.”

Hmm...

I will shop for deals on both days

Yea...that's the point.

Only sheeple shop on Black Friday. An astute and correct observation.

Note the author doesn't use the word sheeple, but "black-friday" and "cyber-monday" he argues are top-down orders to the masses to consume, and he is absolutely correct.

I've long held that my phone is a single point of failure and that I should be able to function without it. So I don't do banking on my phone, I still carry a wallet even if I do have Apple Pay and I will certainly carry physical identification until I'm legally unable to.

Astute readers might also note that the concept of a "solution" for black america is neatly addressed by addressing the decline of material conditions that has been caused by the introduction of means-testing social policies since the conclusion of ww2.

Of course Harris has no solution, or even an understanding of how those things could ever be related.

I honestly thought the number of concurrent users was a lot higher a lot longer ago, but either way, it's come a long way since ~2003?

A square is a regular polygon* with 4 sides.

*Regular Polygon A polygon which is both equiangular and equilateral (i.e. having all sides the same length and all interior angles the same).

Note that this doesn't preclude the existence of a square with curved sides if projected upon a sphere. But when discussing common geometry the assumption is that we are working within a single plane. If you wish to work in non-planar geometry, that must be explicitly called out in the diagram.

It's true, the only people voting for Harris aren't worried about policies at all let alone hers. Otherwise Bernie would have won.

"Rights" can only be taken away by force, if there is no method to ensure compliance, this is yet another meaningless resolution.

I don't know about the history of the project, but it sounds like those blobs have been there for quite some time. When in reality, the PR that added the blobs in the first place shouldn't ever have been approved.

Actually just checked 3+ years.

This isn't a knock against opensource programming, but there shouldn't ever be precompiled blobs in the repo unless they are the official builds for the various OS's and if you want to build from source, the pre-compiled blobs shouldn't be part of that, otherwise you can't really claim you are opensource.

Hey guys open source is great you can look at all the code and therefore there are no security backdoors etc. Also here are a bunch of pre-compiled blobs in the repo, don't worry about those, but they are required to run the program.

Yea, but you aren't supposed to actually SAY that.
