They said software engineer, not bootcamp coder /s

Demand is unrelated to price collusion.

Ah yes Fish SerDes

No? That’s not true at all.

Eh, it’s not really so different from the situation you described. I want to support FOSS in my work, but the chances of moving the needle on donations or contributions is slim to none.

My favorite option: use the GPL licensed solution to wow your boss by getting the project done fast. Then, the company either gets sued, thereby financially contributing to the project, or you are asked to replace it with your own implementation, giving you job security.

America is, trump isn’t

Micron is American and is competitive, especially in some verticals.

I’d vote for Newsom. He’s not my favorite person but he’s a fine politician. I’d prefer a more progressive candidate (and will vote for one in primaries) but I honestly think Newsom would be good for the country.

Mandating backup cameras is not stupid. There’s a legitimate blind spot that has caused numerous child deaths. It’s okay for a car to cost a little more if it means it’s less likely to kill someone.

No comment on backseat alarms.

But I don’t want them doing that. I don’t want my browser sharing any of my browsing activity, anonymized or not.

I’m not saying it’s good, but it’s not Ma Bell.

There is actual competition though, from Google and Microsoft at a minimum.

Most of these components could easily be made elsewhere, albeit at a higher cost.

Article is clickbait trash. This was something found in the privacy policy. Your Nissan doesn’t have a “sex sensor” that phones home if you whip it out in the passenger seat.

Why do they care about the optics? $$$

Ok Karen

No, I don’t think being assessed relative to subpar students is a benefit. You’d get a better letter grade, sure. But likely a worse education due to “lowering the bar”, which is what you paid for. Educators often can’t grade on absolute scales because the pass/fail ratio of the students factors into their own performance assessment.

Lower class participation, impact on grading curves, and distracting behavior all have an effect on others.

Because your enrollment in a class is not without consequence. If you are doing poorly due to being distracted by your phone, you are creating harm for other students and the lecturer/professor. Thinking that you are free to behave however you wish just because you are the customer is an extremely consumer-minded Karen-esque mindset.
