The Federal Trade Commission has a budget of $100,000? There's no way that's correct.
$300,000 is a rounding error in the Pentagon's budget.
My point is that SOP for all major platform vendors is to not publicize exploits until they patched. It has nothing to do with it being Apple specifically and their concern for their brand. It's as much about protecting their users than anything. It's always a tricky situation, and this was a particularly egregious…
This is why I always use curly braces in every conditional branch...
Probably because they didn't want to publicize a glaring exploit in their system until they were able to fix it. Just a hunch though.
I'm confused by most comments that seem to suggest that "selling out" has something to do with what you like. That has nothing to do with the concept, at least as I understand it. It means compromising art for financial success. In the pantheon of sellouts, some dumb kids hawking products on YouTube to promote their…
You're right that a lot of criticism, and specifically "sellout" criticism, is just an attempt to mask insecurity with moral righteousness. But overreacting and saying we can never call anyone a sellout, or convincing ourselves that selling out isn't even a real thing, seems like a terrible idea to me. Having clear…
My point is simply that the concept of selling out, as in "compromising one's principles for financial reward" is an actual thing that most people, myself included, do at some point in their lives, and that when someone says that it's never OK to criticize someone for it, it reads to me as a someone who is afraid of…
Whenever someone says "selling out isn't real" or "calling people sellouts is lame" or "everyone sells out" or "people who complain about others' selling-out are just jealous," it's a good indication that they are either unaware that they've sold out, trying to justify selling out, or hoping to sell out in the future.

Math majors are just as good at fart-sniffing as liberal arts majors.
Short answer is that they're playing word games.
This is easy: they're playing a semantic trick where they don't let on that their definition of "sum" is very specific and not the generally understood definition. But admitting that you're playing word games is much less sensational than claiming that 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + ... = -1/12.
Or you can just not confuse video games for reality and appreciate play for what it is.
Never mind, I think we're pretty much in agreement. I was feeling snarky.
In order to save the New York Times, we must turn it into BuzzFeed.
At least in the US, inflation is generally around 1-2% annually, and the Fed watches very closely to keep it in that range. Whereas something like gold, well...
its value as a store of wealth is no different than the price volatility of precious metals.
