If the government was also addressing the concentration of power in the American social media apps, I’d buy it. If this was about making laws on what info phones could record about you, I’d buy it. If this was about establishing transparenc

It's possible that "Open Source" here is the OSI definition, which FSF has some objections to. If "Closed Source" just means "not Open Source as OSI defines it", then it is true that some non-OSI software

I disagree. If just expecting good outcomes worked, why would we have any laws at all? Before we had laws on child labor, we had children working and falling into heavy machinery. Before we had laws on food quality, you had to guess which m

+1 for Brother. Had the same one (MFC-L3750CDW) for years now. Just works. No weird subscription push. No weird apps to manage it. Actually integrates with 3rd party software easily. Everything I need and nothing I don't.

That seems like an odd way to frame it, imo. "Holding the bag" usually implies something negative, as in someone will be "caught" with something bad. As in the employees are looking to dupe someone into buying what they

Handle what, exactly? Are you actually experiencing any issues from not doing these things or are you experiencing FOMO? You've not articulated any problem you're facing. Accusing others of being fake and producing crap may make y

It is rational for governments to be defensive of practices which externalize costs onto 3rd parties, and they have to balance it with a number of factors including innovation. It is easier to understand this with health, as compared to pri

For me, I never really made friends in the office, but I did make friends from the office and my profession from outside of the office activities. Conferences, education, meetups, big morale events. These things have stopped, for me, since

I was confused by this comment but I think what you're trying to criticize is this: "Mariott didn’t take enough precautions to pretend being victim of a hacker." I agree with that criticism. It's not a crime to be a vict

Put another way: Marriott is the victim of "cyber" crimes. Marriott's customers are victims of Marriott's negligence. I'd argue it has nothing to do with corporation or non-corporation. If someone is injured in a ca

Asynchronous I/O refers to the fact that all I/O interactions default to being asynchronous in JS, not the fancy new `await` keyword, which is nice, but just sugar around Promises. The result of this default is that makes a best p
