Given old inventory, you can lose more than 2 years. For example, the chromebit CS10 got a design award in 2015 and can still found on asus' website with a link for where to buy.. About 1 year of support remaining.

I think a weight loss factor could be added to legal antibiotics to remove the benefits of their overuse.. Caffeinated cows on a rampage might correct the industry.

Suppose racism, discrimination and bullying by the general public were the dominant cause of recidivism.. Would it make sense to allow people from the majority regularly do 3 month sentences and keep members of any minority group indefinitely on their first incident?

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough, when a platform is dying its owner:

1. Tries to capture all profit from the edges.

2. Extracts value "unreasonably" both to grab what they still can and to create an explanation for the death. This could be high fees, ads, or extraction of market intelligence.

3. Begins embracing the new platform with compatibility layers.

4. Starts making 2 offers on everything. One with their legacy and one with the rising platforms.

5. Treats their nonfounding CEO as significant and someone to listen to.

Plenty of companies make this transition successfully (I chose IBM as the example) and make huge profits from not having to charge uniform prices across the entire market. But the discussion was the windows platform being replaced by Linux, not Microsoft profits.

Yes, windows developers with experience are going to go work in the game industry..

Are you aware of IBM in the enterprise software industry? They manage to do almost all of that with their own software and open source rebundled.. No OS/2, almost no 3rd party programmers who are interested in their platform.

That is the future of Microsoft and the non-future of Windows.

Windows is not over? I see Microsoft as similar to IBM now. They will make a lot of money from their Rolodex, possibly more than they ever made before, but they no longer own a relevant platform someone would write new software for.

I used to use virtualbox but I became afraid of being trolled by Oracle using gradually changing license terms a few years back and stopped updating.

I'm curious if anyone knows of a table summarizing these products and what their licensing would mean for a laptop you may take to work, etc?

A portion of the population works in fields like psych where there is standard advice to use unlisted phone numbers to deter stalkers. Given 10 tenants, it is likely one has a good reason to make it harder to picture where they live.

Yes, the intended recipient sentence probably wouldn't be an email if LinkedIn was sending it to an existing account..

But I do think sending unsolicited emails in this fashion is illegal anyway in many places. I always found their attempt to get around this with a specific sender interesting, but I doubt it is universally legal.

Not giving data to police without a warrant who have a story about the owner is competence.

There are a significant number of frauds committed by police (using official resources to stalk, bully, or sell information) and they are caught and prosecuted only when people don't help them bypass things the system can reasonably audit.

I'm pleased that they at least required either a transaction or a warrant. How would they verify that police and the owner are legitimately making the request?

Yeah, I think their fundamental error was making a definitive way to join a future airdrop.

They should have just given coins to existing active keybase users. They would have had healthy increase in users based on regret and fear of missing out again.

Right, I think there's a partial process for what you want and not for informing of key change and I find that backwards AFA security.

I think that's the opposite of what I want? I want to inform people of the new safety number using the old channel and purge all data like a good user.

In this respect a keybase like model makes more sense to me.
