Why even allow access to the internet? When you can talk directly to God on the OS

This Post was made by the TempleOS Gang

Leeker ,

That actually makes the most sense. It makes you queue because there are only so many tests they can administer at a time. So if the website is offline for maintenance it allows those that tried to access the website first to have their spot saved. Rather then forcing everyone to try and get on the website at once when the matinenece window ends. Now I kinda wish more websites that have limited sign ups did this.

Leeker ,

Yeah take a look at something like Twitch and how many ads they shove down your throat. Yet 100,000's of people keep coming back again and again.

It is also required in America. The FDA requires it except for small business. Also the EU wouldn't even let this have the word "Honey" in the name at all. I'd assume that the retail business above doesn't reach the threshold of 500,000 so can request for an exemption of nutritional labeling.

Leeker ,

You have to label the honey with the ingredients it is blended with as well in the US. So for this it would need to be "Blend of Honey and High Fructose Corn Syrup".

Leeker ,

But they call it honey blend

That is illegal as the must label it with what the Honey is blended with. So in this case you'd need to have it labeled "Blended Honey with Corn Syrup" or some variation of that.

Leeker ,

Not if the business is making under a certain amount each year. Then they can request for an exemption of the nutritional labeling.

Leeker ,

Not according the FDA. You can put something down as Honey as long as there is at least some honey in there.

It's okay we all have our dumb days.

I mean the event organizer was there to have the doors open (of course the person was flanked by two bouncers). So it isn't like the worker even if they wanted to could stop it. I'm sure those bouncers could've been turned on her like they were the parents asking for refunds. (Source)

Just like her script being created by a AI. The money they are going to pay her in is made by AI.

Leeker ,

Isn't that what DisplayPort is? At least that is what Dell is claiming.

Leeker ,

Alright this sent me down a rabbit hole so I'm going to try to and summarize really quickly.

1^st^, VESA requires a membership but in reality you need a company that has a vested interest in what VESA does. So you have to pay a huge due to be apart of it. This is quite BS according to me, the fact that they can do this and still claim to be an open standard. Source

2^nd^, VESA never tried to implement a royalty based off the Display Port Standard. The company that did that was MPEG LA, LLC, they aren't affiliated with VESA. Rather this company is a patent pool company that attempted to enforce their clients (such as Sony) licensing fees. They seemed to have backed off of this back in 2016 as the last patent used was for the Display Port Standard 1.4. Source

3^rd^ Content Protection was necessary if you want wide spread adoption. Companies aren't going to want to do business with you if you allow for their IP to be ripped. As well, VESA is just a collection of companies that have voting shares in the company. So those corporate features are just par for the course.

Like VR I think it will remain a niche

Which is why I think Apple is really trying to make this an AR/VR type device. I think that AR will gain much more popularity out of the two.

Leeker ,

The point of internet arguments is not to convince your opponent. That never happens.

Why do you think that is?

Leeker ,

Not that I don't believe you, but do you have a source for that?

Leeker ,

Currently at least in the US we charge them less. This is usually due to something called Economy of Scale. As well as the fact there is more competition for Business energy. As well as the fact they are usually locked into a contract for energy. 1

Leeker ,

Yeah I see that now. Thanks for pointing it out. It did take a minute to go through and find the actual sources as The Verge likes to source themselves. So I'll put the two (at least I think) sources.
This source shows where most of the mining is taking place.

This is the second source that shows how much Energy is being consumed.
