Given the title "Elements of Rust", I suspect that is very much intentional.

> doing it their way gets rid of all of the ambiguity involved with USB C

At that point, why use USB-C for the dock connection at all? Just use a proprietary connector if you're not going to follow the standards.

Having a separate USB-C port for charging should satisfy e.g. the EU regulations requiring that, I think. (Assuming that is the reason they used USB-C in the first place)

The excerpts from the review posted here were _not_ from the section that was quoting the reddit post

Haven't used it extensively, but there is XWiki: https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome

They were referring to Pyrex when talking about "shoddy replacements", not Instant Pot (although they didn't specify this in their comment, so confusion is very understandable).

> Not sure how parents feel about putting kids in front of a machine that can fabricate lies.

You mean like a human teacher?

Of course, I agree with your point, but worth remembering that teachers can and do (knowingly or unknowingly) give incorrect information to their students.

I think one big difference with ChatGPT etc. is, as far as I've seen, it will pretty much always give a confident sounding answer (unless it's on a banned topic) rather than saying something like "I don't know", which a (good) human teacher should do rather than just making something up.

the methodolgy of the bot that posts the deleted posts every 12 hours is explained here: https://old.reddit.com/r/RedditMinusMods/wiki/index

the graph just shows the number of posts that this bot has found "missing" each 12 hours

it's labelled as number of removals, I think it's an absolute number of removed posts per day(?)

edit: sibling comment points out it's per 12 hour period, not per day

edit: as for the cap of 50 - it seems that is the number of posts shown on a first page of r/all (using old reddit), so it seems that means that all 50 slots "should" be filled with posts that have been removed

Presumably they can run the pirated version on actual hardware as well (via custom firmware etc.), and therefore compare?

Netflix also (I think briefly) offered DVD rental in UK, competing with LoveFilm. LoveFilm did continue for a while after the Amazon acquisition, both as DVD rental and with streaming added (LoveFilm Instant, if I remember correctly), which eventually got rebranded into Amazon Instant Video

Yep for sure. Was just a response of simple things they could do, if they cared. Obviously nothing they won't have thought of themselves, was really just pointing out that it's not the case that there's nothing that can be done about it, as the parent comment to mine seemed to suggest.

Couple of fairly simple things they could do to at least help somewhat:

* Put reviews for current listing at the top of the reviews (currently default sort seems to be a vague "Top reviews", but can be changed to "most recent" which presumably accomplishes this. Vast majority never change defaults though)

* Clearly mark any review that is for a previous version of the listing, and provide a link to view the listing at time of review (so can easily see if it was a completely different product or a simple typo correction etc.)

* Perhaps make history of listing visible, so customers can see when and how the listing has changed

> but the admin(s) will give you plenty of time to migrate to a new instance

that seems like a big assumption - if I'm running an instance, what's to stop me pulling the plug with zero notice?

YouTube has both shorts & stories as separate things, and I believe Vanced could remove both

In fairness, it appears they're only mentioning taxes in the context of comparing to other countries' minimum wage - if Google wasn't displaying the other countries minimum wages, there'd be no reason to factor in taxes for a fair comparison.

Specifically if you watch live broadcasts on YouTube or Amazon Prime (in the case of Prime, I believe that's mainly sports events).

Watching regular YouTube videos or movies/shows on Prime does not require a TV license.

> it explicitly does not follow all USB standards

I think that is very non-obvious though, especially for the typical consumer
