Palantir had a shit reputation 12 years ago when I graduated from college. I'm not sure folks who couldn't figure that out until now are very principled.
Sorry, your country potentially being annexed just doesn't spark curious discussion. We've seen this with the other 5 countries that were annexed: just a lot of tiresome complaints and people flagging each other in the comments.
When I'm hiding in my basement from the Patriot Press Gangs, I want to read about the difference between TCP Reno and TCP Tahoe, not about some boring politics.
So your local diner used to have napkin dispensers on every table full of napkins.
Then some people started coming in and just taking all the napkins out when they left the restaurant. Now the diner is going broke paying for napkins so they stop stocking them. Seems like we can't have nice things :(.
But wait! Great solution! We created a micropayment system. Sign up on your phone and use this QR code to pay 1 cent to dispense each napkin. You can also watch a 30 second ad for a free napkin. Napkins are back at the diner, and now they're properly commodified, as indeed everything should be.

I don't know about you, but the above scenario doesn't sound like a happy ending to me.
The dispenser should be placed next to the cashier. There could also be a smaller amount in the dispenser in case someone grabs all of them.
The micropayment way is more like a vending machine. The issue is pricing, charge too much and a clone machine will pop up that will be cheaper for the buyer but still make the seller money. Charge too little -- well you'd still be making more than now but there could be a lot of money left on the table.
I actually think payments should be variable. People on this thread rant about having a designated way to allow for a big download, how about a designated way to make a payment (even if voluntary) ?
So the cost of caching should be a rounding error as well. If The Internet Archive can afford to cache vast swathes of the web, then surely the big AI companies can do so.
not OP but the google maps API doesn't actually support other vector tiles (and other map libraries are not allowed to use the google map basemap) which means it's not easy to just have two versions of the site that differ only in basemap
Right, that's something to discuss at the IRB review. But they didn't even do an IRB review before conducting the experiment. After the outcry, they went back to the IRB and said "was this OK?"
It's because when the term was first used, newer electronics to generate those frequencies had only recently become available.
The HF band is 3-30 MHz. Maritime navigation was operating on 500kHz (.5MHz) for most of the 20th century because that was what Marconi's alternators used at the beginning of the system. These machines produced the carrier frequency mechanically by rotating a disc with lots of tiny magnets on it at high speed.
There is actually a lot of fairly inexpensive SDR hardware aimed at amateurs, and other ways to do cheap packet radio. But outside the amateur radio community you might not hear about it because you need a license to transmit.
