Shoot, it did occur to me that might not technically be the right word.

Still, even if you’re an engineer in the late 80’s, it seems like it would be obvious you need a way for disks to announce themselves in O(1) time. Was it just a limitation of interoperability between vendors or something?

Depends on the trade. If they sell before a stock collapses, that’s true. They better do it before all the other insiders do, though - and you better be first too. Like, microseconds quick, if your strategy is just to copy them 1:1. If they’re doing something multi-step it becomes a game where they have to be careful to preserve their information advantage, or it becomes worthless.

They’d still hide it, exactly so people can’t scoop them this way.

Why would you design a disk driver that way?

Ah. I’ll switch to pip then. I’ve been using the deb package. Thanks!

Speaking of, is there a known way to get around the “sign in” blocking? It’s not working anymore.

Someday, when I’m not balls-to-the-wall poor I’ll actually support the artists. Until then, it’s not illegal for personal use, and morally it’s that or just no music.

Others browsers, plural?

I guess Lynx exists…

It’s actually more like choosing the strategy with the relatively best worst-case scenario, in general. In zero-sum games it turns into what you’re describing.

But either way, yeah, that’s not what OP means.

Why yes, future person, I’ll fix the spelling.

I didn’t get an underline because it was capitalised, apparently.

Yeah. Same as a medical paper right? “A 37-year old male patient with a history of chloracne” or whatever.

Interesting. I’m going to need to hear from more people if I’m going to buy that’s standard, though.

There’s established medical acronyms like “Funny Looking Kid” or “Get Out Of My ER”. The stress thing depends heavily on specialty once out of residency, and a stressful job can actually mean more story time once they’re done with a patient - just ask a paramedic.

This is like the main way slang spreads, it seems. Or at least how it does today.

There’s a 0% chance doctors don’t talk shit with each other about patients, just like in every other service profession. They literally talk shit about patients on charts sometimes.

The unethical thing would be if they revealed protected information in the process.

Yeah, there’s not always a clean separation between execs and devs, even if that’s politically inconvenient.

I’m going to go ahead and say that digital markets are still broken, and the solution definitely isn’t what the big execs want, either, but “everyone pirates everything” isn’t going to work if you like the present variety and quality of videogames available.

Ah, but they didn’t lose the exact item that the thief gained. For legal purposes, that’s important; nobody could be charged with larceny.

IANAL

Thank you!

Apparently “Agence France-Presse” or AFP is the third one, at least if you speak French.

I bought Bitcoin in highschool. Not much, though, because it was just a neat concept. There was no reason it would actually skyrocket in value (still isn’t).

I had a teacher ask me for help investing in it, too. There was another guy in Canada at around the same time that turned that exact situation into a nice ponzi scheme.

Yeah, there’s no way to make money covering important but boring stuff in a neat, concise fashion.

IIRC those are like the big two in reselling stories.
