Is it REALLY don't care or is it more a DON'T KNOW situation? Perhaps they didn't understand that the thing wouldn't work at all if the server went away. Perhaps they actually believed that "lifetime" meant something other than "until we take it down on a whim".
It's funny that you're crying FUD in a comment on an article where it is actually happening right now. If it actually happens, it's not FUD. If it really is FUD, there must be some practical workaround that doesn't involve replacement. Would you care to share your solution with the new brick owners?
I suppose they're trying to use the high fees to make sure applicants are serious about getting maximum use out of the limited resource. I'm not sure it's the best way to do that.
I'v looked around the arduino development, and I conclude older programmers who grew up in a time where 64K was huge, 4MHz was fast, and the OS never stood between you and the hardware have a distinct advantage. You can do a lot with such a small system as long as you don't try to program it like a PC.
The spectrum auctions make sense. It's not at all like solar panels. Imagine if me putting a solar panel on my roof actually reduced the useful output of my neighbor's solar panels. The fees are a drop in the bucket next to the revenue derived from license to use it.
Of course, newer technologies should render much of that an anachronism soon, just not yet.
On some BMWs in the '90s it was impossible to open the car by any means from the inside if it was locked from the outside. Here are more reports. I believe most of those are due to worn mechanisms, but that's hardly uncommon.
My car isn't supposed to be that way, but the mechanism has stiffened up enough that it would be a real problem if you are mechanically disadvantaged by a rod.
Interesting;y, before the mandated change, the door NOT opening if you pulled the inside handle while it was locked was seen as a safety feature to avoid people (especially children) falling out while in motion.
Chrome also has a high contrast extension available. It's good that workarounds exist, but they could at least ATTEMPT to consider readability/usability in their work. It's as if they forgot why the website exists in the first place.
Any web designer who ever uses light gray text on a slightly darker gray background or a font less than 10 pt should be forced to wear the vision fader for a month at least.
Technically, the government could pursue a case that the canary's disappearance constitutes telling constructively. They won't because ot's doubtful that the gag order is Constitutional in the first place, so if they challenge they might lose it entirely.
Let's check the empirical data. Number of people prosecuted for taking down a warrant canary: 0.
I can see why it might have seemed like a good idea, and why it might be expected to lose money at first, but surely at some point it should have become clear that open late was not going to work there.
That actually argues that the cost to restaurateurs from the wage hike will be even lower. If the waitstaff already makes more then the minimum, nothing changes.
Sure, and it may well become common one day. That is true no matter how low or high the minimum wage is set. It is also true that today is not that day.

Now look at the Supreme Court approved exceptions. How's that freedom of speech working out for Snowden?
Like this?
As if the Constitution gets it's due these days.
Now look at how it is handled in the U.S. Those same sorts of exceptions do happen, they're just not explicitly laid out.
Are you sure?
We are not the worst! Yeah USA!
I that really your yardstick for excellence?
So when someone cubes your car, you'll be good with that because you still own the cube sitting in your driveway?

Yes. Let's just hope that Volvo has learned something from other company's failures.
Excellent article.

Some of that telecomm gear is fantastically overpriced. There's plenty of blame to go around.

And your customers will be able to afford more because they are paid more.
