Doping leads to disability and death, but may make a better show for spectators.

So like the ancient Romans, he wants poor athletes to permanently maim themselves for his amusement.

How can I use this technology to DL shows from my Netflix and Prime subscriptions so I can watch them offline?

There’s a bunch of shows on Amazon I’d love to “buy” if it means I could actually keep it.

Short sellers provide benefit to society by finding and shaming doomed businesses so they fail faster and don’t suck up as many resources.

They also have a proud history of uncovering outright fraud.

In business, the people complaining loudest about short sellers are emperors with no clothes.

That’s a weird way of bragging about understaffing leading to overwork, but I guess it explains why they can’t kick those quality issues.

A sort should not by any means be slow to implement.

Sure, if the sort key is something readily available. But for scaled sort they have to compute relative size/activity of the communities the specific user is in. The cost isn't the sort, it's computing the metric.

Is it really a lot of work for an experienced dev? I can pick up most new languages in a day or 2 unless it's a total paradigm shift.

I’m a Java developer and I would much rather pick up Rust to join an active project than try to rebuild something that already works using a less-marketable language.

I have a hard time believing that rewriting the backend from scratch would be faster than getting PRs approved on the main project.

Forks like this with one guy who "knows best" usually die a slow quiet death as they get left behind by the main project.

You’re saying ink can only give you a virus if HP created vulnerabilities in their printers to enable DRM.

So they’re warning you about a risk they chose to create in order to rip off their customers.

“3rd party ink will give you a computer virus”

What a lying sack of crap that guy is.
