It's a response to laws that prohibit advertising of alcohol in certain countries at certain times of the day. There may be a trend towards these products, but the prohibition prom…

Same with the drinks companies, they switched to explicitly advertising their zero alcohol beers.

I set --max-cost to 100, it bailed before finishing. Unknown if I would get full results for $105 or $500. Either way I lost $100.

I use a in-memory database per unit test with both rocksdb and sqlite, it is a game-changer to get better quality tests. Overall premise is wrong though. Moving the database out of…

Starlink is popular in rural England. Trenching fibre to farmland isn't economical and poor DSL is often the only other option.

Red flags: - Tests Postgres 16, not 18. - Uses t4 burst instances in AWS, shared CPU in Hetzner. - Test fits in memory. - Fails to say if load generator is in same AZ. - Says their…

Jurisdiction has multiple concepts, you are thinking of territorial jurisdiction. There is also personal jurisdiction, feudal jurisdiction (serfdom), political jurisdiction. Thomas…

"subject to jurisdiction" does not mean "has to follow US law", that is territorial jurisdiction. Subject to jurisdiction means political jurisdiction and allegiance. That is why c…

> The 14th amendment grants Jus Soli. End of story. But it isn't the end, it then qualifies who gets Jus Soli. And that is the debate. > The people who drafted the 14th and ratifie…

You didn't read the decision, it was up for debate in 1898 Wong Kim Ark. Every justice cites it. Wong Kim Ark gives 4 exceptions, and it isn't clear if those exceptions are compreh…

The debate is whether the USA is a Jus Soli (no s) country. Roberts claims Jus Soli applies to the USA by looking at historical concept of the words in the constitution and the kin…

"subject to the jurisdiction thereof" is not a clear statement.

> All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof ... It's the second part that is in dispute and is not clear from the constitution's…

Building a new memory fab takes 3-4 years, extremely capital intensive. Micron is spending $25B+ on Capex and more than half of that is for new memory capacity, a 3x increase over …

BIMI certificates cost over $1,000 / yr right now. For me that's a feature. I wish the fallback in my mail client was a big untrusted symbol rather than sender initials when they a…

Eric, do you recommend, as you hinted in the book, that half of board seats should be appointed by a workers council? Do you think Six-Sigma is net destructive to a company, and wh…

My book arrived today. Q1: You have done a few friendly interviews on YouTube, but I haven't seen one that challenges you much. Do you know if there are upcoming interviews that yo…

This is more likely due to the digital markets act that requires them to open their platform to competitors. hence it only being restricted on phone and iPad.

They wanted to rebase onto a different database first to make multi-region easier, but that work took many years.

Benchmark dataset fits in memory. Not a good test.

How many watts is that setup? Cool you got it to work, but maybe only useful for vintage / retro computing rather than practical if the energy consumption makes it economically was…

I have not heard about UK Open Banking rails for merchants being popular. You are talking about P2P? the article is about challenging Visa/Mastercard.

This is the EU equivalent of Zelle, but pushing into merchant payments and owned and run by the banks. When the telcos tried to compete with the cloud providers by offering OpenSta…
