From the HN guidelines: - Be kind. Don't be snarky. Converse curiously; don't cross-examine. Edit out swipes. - Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive. - Please don't pick

Perhaps you are not familiar with it but you can literally order just about any part in any material online. Several business that used to print PCB's also do 3d printing at very competitive rates. I won't advertise names but it&#

Again not diminishing Firefox's efforts but it's difficult not to compare with other _leaner_ open-source projects. As an example the Linux foundation [0] had 270M in expenses in 2023. Of which even we aggregate international oper

I think the point GP is raising is that most of the robotic development in the past several decades has been on Motion Control and Perception through Visual Servoing. Those are realistically the 'natural' developments in the domai

Not looking to grind an axe but facts matter in this case. Let's look at Mozilla's financial statement for 2007 and 2023 [0][1]: > Expenses 1. Program 'Software Development' 2007: 20.7M | 2023: 260M 2. Management &#x2

Every well can be poisoned. Linux relies on people's values and people's skills. Neither of which are immune to degradation over time. Much like the post world war civil society, economic and diplomatic development was an exceptio

How much of a financial effort would it be to have some non-profit take a fork of Icecat and Fennec F-Droid, and just maintain a browser for the actual free world (akin to codeberg for example)? i.e. if we strip down all the corporate overh

Nobody is being exploited, most people _want_ to self-employ to not get chewed by income tax. Most states in Europe treat you like you're mister money bags for anything above 50k a year. You can choose: - Cost of living (read Housing)
