The social score in China is even worse than in Black Mirror, it defines everything you can access from bank, education, job, health, transport , social relationships, etc. It is not a legal score, it is a social score (both in theory and

I'm not sure to understand are you basically saying " it's okay to do human testing because we can save million of others " ? The whole point of "civilized" countries is to guarantee some basic individual right

I agree, a Total Surveillance system than the most dystopian Sci-Fi movies could barely imagine, a Social Score to keep control over people act & thoughts and now non-consenting Human DNA Experiments to build a stronger race... But unli

They state in the license that : "You may opt-out of many of these scenarios, but not all, as described in the product documentation." So it seems that not everything can be disabled in the settings ? Maybe in practice they'r

Be careful that's it's only open-source if you build it yourself or if you use VS-Codium ( https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium ). The VS-Code that everyone uses is under a Microsoft License and includes close

If Mozilla can't reach enough user now, why would they do with a fork of Blink ? It's not a web engine problem, it's just that Google is too powerful and Chrome is everywhere, so they decide. And actually it is better for inn

I really can't agree more with you. WebVR is not a good investment, when you are not even on par in terms of performance for displaying a web page, the last thing you look into is WebVR. This is one of the main problem at Mozilla, they

You mean everyone uses Blink/V8 and everyone does research as forks and merge it to master if they have something interesting to commit ? I would see a few issues : - The 1st problem I see is that open source is often meritocracy and s

The VS code you download is not Open Source, it has a special Microsoft license and includes close source Microsoft Telemetry ( which could be considered as spyware) which you cannot opt-out completely. See https://code.visualst

You seems very certain that Firefox will switch to Chromium but the recent trend is going in the exact opposite direction : - Firefox Focus is switching from Chromium Engine to Gecko Engine. - Huge amount of work in WebRender, they're

Especially when Google itself is promoting Flutter which in a way is a non-native UI framework. I think as long as a framework is performant and implements well the design guidelines of the OS this is what really matters

Switzerland is very heterogeneous in terms of language and mentality. The Röstigraben is clearly not a myth. However people accept those very high differences because it's economically going really great in Switzerland. (But of the day

Switzerland is the exact proof that what you say about masses voting for the expensive things is not always true. For e.g they had a "votation" on minimum wage, and people refused because the proposed minimum wage was too high. Th
