That's a 700 ml bottle of 89.9% alcohol. Alcohol is 9 cal/gram (similar energy density to fat) and around 0.78 g/ml making the right close to triple the fried food and beer in calories (~4400)
I imagine they'd be eyeing things like having a partnership with patreon so patrons get access to an exclusive subreddit at a certain tier (with reddit getting some cut). Not saying patreon specifically would go for that but I imagine that type of monetization is what they'd be mostly considering. Or maybe a better example would be something in the realm of substack. Paying directly for access is hard to get people to go for without a third party with financial incentive to drive content.
It used to be common for lawnmowers to use chains. Either OOP isn't very mechanically inclined OR they are and they're just including a subtle dig to Tim Walz being yet another old guy (ignoring him being a fetus in comparison)
Can you convince a lawyer to take it on contigency? If not, can you afford to pay for a lawyer through a lengthy trial and then lose? If not, no. It's a gamble, never bet money you can't afford to lose. Only a lawyer can help you judge the odds but even the best lawyer can't guarantee an outcome.
MXRoute is about a decade old and based in Texas. It's in that "unix philosophy" category of doing something well and stopping there so you won't get them advertising their new crypto wallet or AI software on you. It's mostly geared for more technical bring your own domain type of usage. If you're wanting to use it more as a forwarder and want to store the history locally (or if you don't email files) there's a "lifetime" plan available.
That makes no sense. If you join b' and b'' into b then the external interface of b is the union of the external interfaces of b' and b''. The risk of conflicts between those two interfaces is minimal in the situation they described so no need for namespacing.
I expected the argument to be based on total effort to split then join the internal code compared to the context switching cost of splitting and then splitting again (with an appeal to agile vs waterfall). But this argument feels like they were either dealing with a language/stack with a broken module system that lacks an explicit separation of internal vs exposed or were just joining things strangely.
Expressing a general rule based solely on a specific situation is a disservice (irony intended).
I'm missing something
