Communism would have all ERs equally shitty and expensive [to the taxpayer]. Is that all that better? I mean, your argument holds true for everything. And yet, look around us and compare to any instance of communism on various extents. Capi

More like replace Atlassian Bamboo. I've had traumatic experiences with sleek CIs. To me it's like the Scratch "programming language". Good for beginners, and then you find yourself wanting to copy/paste your workfl

And it works for me on both Firefox and Chromium, uBlock disabled. I can't find the function in the HTML either. Was it just removed?

Or maybe you don't get capitalism. It's not about selfishness or not wanting to lose money, it's about pushing others to work harder. Think of UBI as the other extreme, discouraging people to work for their own good when we&#

Yes, you are slightly crazy. The whole idea of VCs is that while most startups are indeed crapshoot investments, some will make returns in the 100x. 1.5x is sometimes "good enough" but it won't keep a VC afloat if all of its

Yep, the key figure in this piece is the CEO owning 45% of stock. Hard to beat in any vote.

Technically, by producing a product with value for the wealthy, and redistributing its money to poorer employees. In short, capitalism. And you'd be using it as intended.

You say that like verbal toxicity is bad. I like a good civil argument, there's nothing better for insight that thought-provoking discourse. And nothing worse than everybody repeating how much they agree with each other (nothing wrong

Excellent initiative. However, I wish you had adopted some more compact and minimalistic system like https://www.simplemachines.org/ (also FOSS). I think the compactness is a big reason of the success of Reddit and HN with

There's another angle to this: people are way too sensitive. If they can't take honest negative feedback we'll end up with the current trend of everyone faking being nice to everyone else. I'm happy the Internet lets us

You can enable drag-and-drop in the Window Buttons panel Item. As for Indicator, yeah, it's a bit of a mystery. But I don't think much is missing there. Other examples of missing stuff: - Complex shortcuts: you can't set key

Hardened kernel (e.g Coppherhead OS), custom open-source ROM to disable all telemetry and audit the code (among others), FOSS APK provider (f-droid), disabling online tracking (AdAway, AFWall), full filesystem access. iPhone hardly has any

My Android phone (and most recent Android phones I know) completely locks USB data, including from devices that had previously been granted access. You have to unlock, touch a notification and enable some file transfer option instead of &qu

I doubt they would have received $80k+, maybe half, even in that area. And that's in addition to what they had already been paid. So that sounds about right for back wages. Still, there's no deterrent here, you're correct. If

Imagine we could choose between living miserably and never progress, or let one person die one hour earlier than they normally would and the rest would live immortally and thrive in luxury forever. I think most people would pick the latter.

Problem is, most companies that need a lot of power only care about one thing - peak performance. And they tune it carefully in order to not overspend while guaranteeing minimal downtime. This means that they'll have to pretty much sca

A negative result is also considered knowledge: rejecting or disproving the null hypothesis is usually valuable. Tom Scott just did a video on it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KOJnOCdBr4s So a bioweapon might not satisfy

Absolutely. The whole ordeal reminds me awfully of Ajit Pai's tone as he kills net neutrality, sounding as if everything was fine until net neutrality came along. Although different, this too brushes off this one instance as a mistake,

Who is "them"? And who will pay the enormous lawsuit bills for the thousands of cases? And are there enough lawyers in the world to fight every obvious patent? Enlighten us.

Sadly, I don't think the devs have much of a voice anymore. Corporate and upper management have taken over, as shown by the various SJW and usability debacles. I'm always concerned of this happening to other large-scale independen

Then forget about it. Keepass2 and KeepassXC (depending on your OS) are the best of the best.

Are you sure about that? You do know most organizations will implement that as a huge amount of bureaucracy for every commit, rather than proper man-hours of security-oriented development.

Yeah, what's up with that? Is it going to download one of these every time? That's awful!

More importantly, they forced the old operators to play nice: they can't try too hard to retain customers, they can't lower their prices too much, etc. Absolute control is a strong component of Israeli regulation (transports, broa

Good thing we can max out all the good genes. I suppose it will have secondary effects but in small steps it should work.

I don't think there's much better out there, these days. Seems like Canada, continental Western Europe and Scandinavia are the best modern countries. Maybe I'll also return to France these days, or try Quebec.
