Tax is a complex issue that differs from one jurisdiction to another, and I am in no way an expert in any of them, but I do believe most tax authorities would require fair value exchanges.
Which means, "If the work is performed for $1 or $5000 the government doesn't get a say in that." --- it absolutely does, in the way of requiring the person getting a "$1 service" to calculate their tax as if they got $5000.
Everything is an absolute gem. I literally cannot survive on the work computer without it. At home on Linux, this is one of things (probably the only one even) I really missed from Windows.
Ah yes, FSearch is what I'm using right now. Although, correct me if I'm wrong, it relied on a search database and is slower? I remember reading somewhere that Everything is so quick because of NTFS - not sure about the technical details, though.
The title is misleading in that it makes people think only 3% goes to Linux as a whole, while that number is about the linux kernel only.
Some other comments mention blockchain: one could argue for or against endorsing blockchain technology, but that doesn't seem to be the point of this article.
I'm not sure that's going to change unless the LLM stuff slumps. Chip makers get burned every few decades by building boom-time capacity that comes online just after the crash. They're going to be reluctant to make big capex spends unless they think the demand is durable.
Receive-only DVB dishes are very common (although technically illegal and occassionally subject to house raids and removal). They often try to jam the signal from time to time by inducing noise on the broadcast frequency (locally referred to as parasite). They have been cracking down on Starlinks though (most likely from the supply chain, which is very likely to be a compromised regime asset). In any case, as I wrote in another comment, it does not solve a real problem and no one uses this. You can simply watch news/video content live (or DVR'd) on your TV.
Kind of like what3words, except what3words uses three words which you stand a chance of remembering, whereas this produced, for an address similar to mine, "Miniature nerves eulogize gaily inside erect lion yet able stables hiss the conclusive consultation."
Care to elaborate why? I'm just curious since I didn't know (1) there was actually any kind of serious usage, or (2) there was pushback from rescue team...
W3W is very aggressive about protecting their IP, they don't want it to be a standard anyone can use like lat/long.
They advertise it as being useful for search/rescue as you can provide a precise location over an unclear voice channel. They conveniently ignore that speaking numbers is clearer than speaking random words.
One reason is that there are a lot of similar words in the dictionary. It is easy to mishear the wrong location especially when they are close together. Some of the words are long and complicated. Another is that they are random which means can't navigate from the codes.
They are missing feature of some codes that can have variable length for variable precision.
Basically the company wants to make money off it so are pushing it and it’s problematic due to it being less easy to use then standard gps cords, words sound the same, and most people have no idea what it is (and nor should they learn lat long)
My knowledge may be out-of-date, but sodium-ion battery has a 30-50% lower energy density to lithium (200 Wh/kg vs 300-400). My understanding is it will be confined to cheaper solutions.
