No, it doesn't imply that. Saying party X plans to do something implies nothing about what party Y plans to do.


> Saying party X plans to do something

but that's not the whole thing being said.

Party X may have been planning on something, but party Y threw a wrench in the middle, causing party X to have to make some response. By implication, party X believes party Y to be throwing a wrench, hence, party X must act. Therefore, party Y also must be planning something that counteracts party X's desires. If it weren't so, party X would not act (as that costs money).


The thing that contradicts Party X's desires can just be not doing the thing Party X wants done, it doesn't have to be doing an equal and opposite thing.

This seems like a variation on the fallacy of the excluded middle.


It's closer to so-far-unnamed fallacy of "the right has no agency." Everything they do is in response to something done by the democrats or the left or whatever and so they aren't responsible for their actions.


I had the same problem. Updating uBlock Origin fixed it.


Can you elaborate on how the two titles mean something different? To my reading, "Here's how they ..." and "How they ..." mean the same thing. "Here's" is unnecessary. (Not saying I agree with HN removing it automatically, just that in this case I don't think it changes the meaning.)


They sold .dev to Squarespace a couple years ago.


Interesting. No mention of that on Wikipedia.


Unless you get hit with the flat fee instead.

> Packages sent to the US from mainland China and Hong Kong with a value of up to $800 now face a 120% tax rate or are subject to a flat fee. The fee started at $100 and is due to rise to $200 at the beginning of June.


Yeah that part was unclear. So maybe the $100 flat fee is the minimum.

In that case us importers will pop up to import them in bulk and your uc goes up to $8.

Maybe it makes sense to order something from Parallax or TI in that case.


This is specifically not selectlist. "Previously, the Chrome team was working on the idea of a selectlist element. What's described in this post is that feature redesigned to reuse the existing select element instead."


> History is full of examples of companies doing the right thing if only to prevent government regulation.

Citing a couple would help your argument.


Everyone but Apple going for mini-USB, micro-USB and finally USB-C is probably the most well known example. Another decently well known example was the early stages of social media moderation.

The "business model" of the EU is to check if something is going wrong or could be changed to make the life of European citizens better, to then show that to the industry with "hey, we noticed X - you got a chance to clean up shop on your own, or we will force you by passing laws".


Citing a couple would help your argument.

I'm not making an argument. I'm stating a fact that is well-known if you follow business at all.

In the United States, it is common for:

   1. Politician to complain about situation.
   2. Congressional committee holds hearing about situation.
   3. Congressmen threaten to pass laws about situation.
   4. Industry involved in situation makes changes so that laws are unnecessary.
The airline industry is full of examples. This is basic knowledge. Google is your friend.


You were lucky. Lots of people who recently had their battery replaced (before the update was announced) were affected by this.


> I can say from experience that it doesn't.

No, I don't think you can say that. If you're getting daily notifications about being out of date, then you clearly haven't gotten the update yet. There are two possibilities: (1) You have rebooted. In this case, the dev option must have worked, because you rebooted and didn't get the update, exactly what the dev option promised. (2) You haven't rebooted. In this case, the dev option doesn't apply, because it specifically refers to what happens after you reboot.


Google didn't announce anything. That's a message from a customer support rep to a single individual.
