Yeah, but i europe you only shoot if there are immediate danger, not just because you saw something which might be a gun. Has something to do with people not carrying guns usually, so a immitation is much more likely than a real gun. Unlike texas.
Yeah, i still see some pyramid scheme... the early adopters are rich as fuck now if they believed in it and invested, while people mining now have investet as lot of real money in their mining farms, which probably now are just garbage, because running them costs more than they get from them.
This doesn't stop me to just buy bitcoin and pay with it, but it's a unfair game with respect to "free money" in the early days.
I am not that much into bitcoin, but i guess before such steps there is a lot of mining activity, which ceases after the step to wait what happens to the price then? A smooth decrease would not cause such things.
And it has a hard step, causing turbulence in bitcoin exchanges and so on.
If you want it easy, you could even publish a rule giving the rate for each day until the "next step", then there is a small step at 12am every day. Way better.
The law is only a problem for normal persons, not for organisations. Every kind of ISP doesn't have the problem, and for example Freifunk is just registered as ISP and has no such problem. The problem is only, that a private person can get a written warning (Abmahnung) (with cost note for the lawyer sending the warning), because they act as "troublemaker" (Störer). Nobody needs to react on this, you can just wait and settle this in court. Paying may be the easier way, on the other hand most Abmahn-Lawyers do not go to court to avoid a precedence case, which may be against this practice. There are a lot of other options that the law does not apply, for example parents which told their children not to pirate anything (they need to tell, but they do not need to control it) are no "Störer" and if nobody admits any guilt the court settles it as "nobody can be proven to be the pirate" and there is little room left for the lawyer to prove who did it (how, if he only has an ip?).
So its mostly FUD with added letters from lawyers offering to settle it for a fee from 200 to 2000 eur. The most common way to react is a counter notice, which tells "i will not pirate your content, but this does not mean i ever pirated your content", which still contains a contract penalty for the case you will pirate this content. This has the advantage, that going to court is then inefficient, as the sentence will be very low after the person already gave this counter notice with penalty for doing it (again).
You get it, the law is rather complicated and the FUD around it helps shady advocates to extort money from you, if you are uninformed.
you can use any color scheme, even without compositing at all. like since kde2 at least (i did not use kde1 very often, so no idea, but i guess you could configure it there as well)
You tell me, apple uses the saved 30% to pay its tech guys, but they need to get 30% from spotify. This calculation is missing, that apple doesn't do the tech for spotify and the spotify programmers want to be payed as well (i.e. from the 30%).
Not the in-app fee. No sane person would use in-app purchases anyone. But change the clause, that the possiblity to pay outside the app may not be advertised. For ALL apps.
And the paragraph about the artists is quite ironic, because spotify can pay the artists less, if apple wants its slice of the cake. Hey, there would be like 3 USD more (33%) for the artists, if it wasn't for apple.
The point is, apple wants to forbid them to mention "It will cost 12.99 but via our homepage it costs only 9.99". The problem is, if they don't offer 9.99 to their customers, they look bad compared to apple music, even when they are not more costly, if the customer installs the app via appstore but pays on the website.
sounds reasonable;-). I like imagemagick as well, but not for calling by scripts in most cases. php/perl libgd has some disadvantages, though. I like python's pillow.
I am bringing up ads, because most of the "we need to optimize!" people are putting ads on their page, which are way bigger. I wanted to bring up optipng, as its a lossless way to optimize. But i think the important load time has your assets cached. People coming from a search engine are used to wait 3-5 seconds. People clicking a link on your page, they should get the stuff from cache, so the next page needs less than one second. Server side scaling is useful. If you should use imagemagick (which is slow and insecure btw) or something like GD, i would rather have a set of sizes instead of doing it dynamically. You will not that often need width=101, so just use image_w100.png for it (and DO NOT scale it one the client). And there we are at browser testing. for example mozilla browsers have a bad record on client side scaling of images. blink now has srcset to provide different sizes and as far as i have seen they scale images smoothly (down). But on JS i still think the best performing script is the one you can remove from your site. Not everything needs to be 100% dynamic. I understand that mobile pages may want stuff like jquery mobile, but a desktop page with html and css is often just fine. Even "responsive" CSS is often rather annoying, when the site changes only because i resize the window.
You're talking about 300 bytes per file. What data rate do you expect your clients to have on average? How big is your smallest ad (or even the script loading the ad)?
That's what we're talking about. I am thankful when you try to save me these 300 bytes, but it's easier for example to stop using some barely related stock images in each article on a news site, costing 800kb to 2 mb, than cutting 300 bytes of a file, which is cached after the first visit.
Many people DO minification, but i think it's one of the most overrated optimizations out there.
I would rather recommend to use less js, especially as it all adds processing time (which is normally single threaded in a browser...) A nice option is to replace a big jquery or similiar with http://vanilla-js.com/. Almost all functions you really need are already included, even those which needed jquery in the past.

But i don't want either one to have my number. And for non-us citizens google voice is no option either ...
But this does not mean, that they think it's funny.
Yeah, but i europe you only shoot if there are immediate danger, not just because you saw something which might be a gun. Has something to do with people not carrying guns usually, so a immitation is much more likely than a real gun. Unlike texas.
even google doesn't let you use google authenticator without activating your phone number first.

Why such a hard step instead of a constant progression?
Not only blocking viruses, but even ads and windows 10?
The article is just wrong.

That's why the church didn't want wifi for a long time. Who wants to compete with an invisible force, which actually works?

If this was too short:

Strange calculation. You're implying, that apple pays the tech guys of spotify then.
Why is this modded down? Mod up for truth.
Not the in-app fee. No sane person would use in-app purchases anyone. But change the clause, that the possiblity to pay outside the app may not be advertised. For ALL apps.

Deleting system32 is a UAC click away. On a unix you need to type a password at least.
Because then the one which goes to 11 will be louder again.
