> “I was asking him, ‘Is this all going to end up shaking out like radio?’” Snyder told me.

> In other words: a media business that mostly revolves around high-profile talking heads. Rush Limbaugh and Howard Stern for radio; Joe Rogan, Alex Cooper, and the trio of Will Arnett, Jason Bateman, and Sean Hayes (who reportedly signed a deal with Amazon worth as much as $80 million) for podcasting.

I don't know how radio is in the US, but this description of radio would be completely wrong here in France. There are tons of high-quality programming, in-depth debates by experts in various fields (you get Nobel-prize winning physicians discussing with Nobel-prize winning economists about COVID for example), series of documentaries on single topics, hilarious shows... Many of my favorite podcasts are literal radio shows that get uploaded to spotify &co.

AV1 wasn't created by Google. Neither was VP8, although they did release it to the public after acquiring the company that created it.

The budget of the EU parliament? What do you mean? The budget of the parliament was about 740k€ in 2022.

Did you mean the budget of the EU itself? It's about what you said (180B€ in 2022). Of course, that doesn't account for individual member States' budgets. The EU's budget is dwarfed by the aggregate of all members' budgets, and it is lower than most of the big EU countries' budgets.

This is never going to happen. It's just too big of a market.

> which triggered on every single incremental payout from the mining pool I used

I can't really see how small taxes spread out over small pay-outs would be different from a large tax over the total. It's your marginal tax rate anyway.

Yes there is. We're using it right now. Even linguists are studying the use of emoji today.

My $HOME in WSL is also a wasteland.

As I said, set up a mapping between users/groups and the corresponding notion in NTFS. An UID/GID will correspond to an SID and vice versa.

NTFS ACLs are much more powerful than Unix permissions. Just map users to users, groups to groups, and you're done.

I just wish that Windows app would use the filesystem as it's meant to be rather than just pretend "dotfiles" get hidden on Windows. Just put your data in $env:APPDATA, damnit! Don't clutter my home directory with "hidden" files that aren't really hidden! Even MS tools do it, it's frustrating.
