I've used lens for years and years, but don't fully grok it. Who cares? Lens is also like category theory, you don't need to understand the details in order to use it.

Well of course they are using some sort of "lint" system and they know the reason. Why not give the information to the user? There is no need to use any manual labor here.

I'm in exactly the same situation. It's impossible to know what they are after and my extension has a fraction of the permissions that you have.

Many good reasons why this would work in Europe. - Logistics in Germany is awesome, and Amazon really doesn't have a leg up on the already existing logistics solutions there. - For…

Then at least make it free for off-peak hours.

In a simple tax system there aren't that many deductions. This is especially true for low-tax jurisdictions. If you want non-standard deductions, create a company and do normal acc…

Chile has both lower taxes and automatic taxation. In 2019 they will even have automatic taxation for small businesses based on the statistical average for the industry and various…

These reasons make no sense. - SSL certs are hilariously simple with Let's encrypt. - Pretending privacy is a non-issue by saying SSL has the same is stupid, and is it even true wi…

But even within a region, having corporations do private deals with the government is corrpution. You are not supposed to be able to get special privileges to your company to the d…

Amazing how your single data point lead you to that conclusion..

Apple should be forced to pay back 10x what they gained in this illegal deal. It's bleedingly obvious that it's illegal to be taxed differently than other companies. Paying back €1…

It should have been obvious to Apple that they were receiving illegal subsidies, given that they were taxed differently than other companies. "The Irish government agreed a deal wi…

> While it's certainly Apple's prerogative to play EU states off against each other to get the best deal It certainly IS NOT. When Apple "get's a deal" it is by definition market m…

Since the EU wants Google to stop within 90 days, I assume they can give them a fresh €4.5bn fine if they refuse. At least that's something.

That's a good reason why fines (like what Google is getting) should be huge. It's deliberate to kill competition while not being in a dominant position, and then when in a dominant…

But what you can do as a user is not really relevant. I cannot change the defaults in an Android phone and sell it to you. That's the problem.

I don't see this reasoning at all. The fine is because Google is illegally cementing it's position as a dominant search engine through licensing of the android platform. Where is t…

Yes Google (if that's what you mean by Android) does "block" having Bing as the pre-installed search engine.

Monopolies are not illegal, so your argument is irrelevant.

> If the EU wants to preserve any credibility .. It's the other way around. EU is building credibility that seems to be lacking elsewhere by penalizing anti-competitive behavior.

Then why did you call your variables x and y, and not y and x? Surprise: because there IS a semantic meaning to the order. The haskell variable naming convention is bad. What is wo…

But "real memory" is neither what C presents or the copy semantics that is used in FP. The CPU will keep memory in 64-byte cache lines. There is a complex bus protocol to shuffle c…

No it simply does not, because the language forces you to write pure functions. The type system invites you to express invariants. There are very fundamental connections between st…

What you say can easily be disproved, and you are simply asking for too much if you ask for something to be a drop-in replacement for OpenSSL. Some re-architecting is requred simpl…

There is a "just use X". If you code in a language where you can express the invariants in your code, and make the compiler check those invariants, then your code is immune to all …
