It's unclear what connection you're making between the expenses of travel and booking speeches and being a "shill". What is the difference between this case of public speaking and others?
This is why I use it. I haven't upgraded to Safari 13 yet so if that's where the change is it hasn't hit me yet. Still using an old version of ublock origin that has updated lists and between that and pihole it's going strong.
Firefox is nice and chrome is ok but they're a distant second at the moment due to the ecosystem with iOS
What would you rather they consume, an internal combustion engine that spits out a deadly exhaust or an electric vehicle that uses power, presumably from a nuclear or less toxic fuel source?
The medium article that was parroted by other sites was a hit piece that lied. And of course the people reading it believed every word without a shred of doubt, and other outlets republishing it failed journalistic integrity spectacularly.
Wait, so the only thing that happened with Minsky was that she was told to proposition him (by Epstein), and that he turned her down? I'd like to here confirmation of that from the victim, but if that's the case then this whole ordeal is just an epic disaster.
You can't be serious to compare US infrastructure to Germany. In my experience living there, the Deutsche Bahn is not to be trusted to be on time, or run at all. And while Amtrak isn't the shining beacon I'd like it to be at least it gets me from point A to B reliably.
Really? I've had exactly the opposite experience when I lived in Berlin. The Berlin to Munich train was great and the tube in Berlin was pretty solid compared to most other places I've been
If the filesystem itself was modeled after a database (which it can be argued it is, somewhat), it's not much of a stretch for WinFS to have been a thing.
I was looking forward to seeing it in action based on reports of what it was.
File systems are databases in a small way. They use b-trees and such, but they don't enforce a rigorous global type system, don't enforce a table structure because everything has to have a schema, don't have the overhead of a query language to interpret every file access command, didn't ensure that all file accesses be ACID compliant, etc.
WinFS imposed all of those things and the associated overheads and much, much more every time you accessed anything.
