> Taiwan has less than 20% of Taiwan.

You are mistaken. Taiwan is 100% of Taiwan.


"perceptual licensing agreement" ? Could you clarify in what sense the agreement is "perceptual"?


pretty certain he means perpetual


Pot plants, you say? I am sorry for your loss.


Pot plants are just potted plants in Australian parlance.


I think the parent commenter knows that, I took it as a humorous deliberate misreading to get the joke in.


Is that so? Now if they also could brake...


Those are not for eating. For visual confirmation only.


It's possible to be in a room with M&Ms in a bowl and not eat them? TIL.


If you see the usual percentage of brown M&Ms in the bowl, you can eat them while you wait for a full re-check of every power and weight item in a very long checklist, confident that somebody poured a bag into a bowl and left them unmolested except, maybe they ate a green one.

If the M&Ms are devoid of brown ones, you don't eat them because you know some peon was told to go through the bowl and take them out, and that sort of person will eat the brown ones and then go back in with their bare fingers for the next one, and thoroughly stir their fingers into the bowl looking for the last brown ones.

Now, if the M&Ms are carefully laid out in a series of monochromatic bowls, with no brown bowl in sight, it's probably safe to eat them because what sort of maniac would do that sorting without aid of a knife or spatula or something, right? But you shouldn't eat them because that's a work of art.


Or just don't be a germophobe and eat them regardless.


If they don't have peanuts in them, why would you eat them; yuck.


She also can sign? That's amazing!


The comment history of this username really checks out!

I take zero offense and thank you for the correction, but it's somewhat amusing to think that someone presumably has two accounts and switches between them to make comments when a post is inadequately proofed.


dogs sign walls and trees all the time


> shifted CapEx to CapEx

or in other words, shifted nothing?


Yes, I think the CapEx argument often advanced by the marketing of AWS and C-levels and engineers of large companies moving to the Cloud is just something said to justify the decision and help everybody get on board with it, but I think the CapEx -> OpEx one is fallacious.

There is others reasons for example the flexibility, the managed services, etc. but I don't think this one makes sense.


"copy writable" ?

what does writability has to do with anything?


The typo does a bit of disservice to a well-meant comment.


Sorry for the typo. I was just reading the thread on my mobile while walking, my clear mistake. However it's obvious the well-meant on the thread above.



Obviously he means boogeyman. Even on your page, it suggests another spelling. What a useless comment.
