Left out matrix as an alternative? Matrix is even more overwhelming than slack in the same sense that email is more overwhelming than lotus notes. Maybe overwhelming is fine if the use for the tech isn't siloed to solving communication

Whenever you file a DMCA appeal with GitHub/etc you would have the option to file a takedown on the jack ass. Some projects doing it occasionally would trigger the right conservative fears at corporations to reduce the market.

The CC licenses should probably be adjusted to make a DMCA attempt a permanent revocation of license. That way DMCAs can flow in the opposite direction and people can learn things.

Ah, you are too optimistic about the desktop in general. Landlines and desktops failed in the developing world first. It is contracting back to workstation users of old (STEM academia, IT, graphics) and maybe Adobe will do their hold out ag

This isn't really a coherent statement. The DoD's rules do prevent this; the NSA refuses to follow DoD rules.

Reading the article of December 2nd it seems accurate to me. Ubiquiti was wrong about the scope, that the incident was external. It says the suspect was pretending to be a whistleblower. It sounds to me like the suspect wasn't a liar w

There are two main hurdles in consulting: 1. Sales time is free. Even with established clients they are likely to work project by project and expect detailed quotes/estimates and initial discussions that take a lot of time, then there&

Making OSes or browsers you are in a market share competition whether you like it or not because that dictates a lot about changes to how the environment deals with you in the future. One can ignore the least engaged/satisfied/lik

Cool, it is a lot to start researching but you sound like you use a very similar style to things I am used to in other languages. On guice/gwizard/maven, if I understand correctly I would be defining new guice DI for something lik

What's the use of being a shill for civilisation ending environmental policy? I think Dr. Strangelove himself demonstrates the character profile.. If the world is going to stick to a sanctions plan it needs to destroy all those pipelin

I'm not really seeing that difference in requirements. Most of the forums were trivial to find in all sorts of Google searches, allowing thousands of people to create a new unique account, and then get banned for violating the pinned r

I guess, I kind of view this, and most modern developments, as the same tack-on that always happened with online games. You can no longer play according to the original/actual mechanics because even the avatars become treated as real b

I kind of suspect he was doing it all to build his personal profile as a potential CEO or management "influencer". If it wound down quietly with no contracts as an explanation for no hires, perhaps he would have already been on to

Yeah, but there's no reason to think some weren't stacking up on his desk and managing an agency successfully working average contracts wasn't what he was after.

Flying cars were delivered and one flew until 1977: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerocar The FAA rejected the dream of normal drivers instead of trained pilots having flying cars, and IMO rightly so.

It's problematic to be pedantic about something that isn't true. A vaccine causes an immunity response. A therapeutic cancer vaccine is a vaccine because it relies on an immunity response, not because it prevents the spread of can

I think you are using dichotomies inappropriately to invoke the standard biases that have trapped the Mozilla community. Something that competes with electron is not electron. Non-native includes RLBox which is now going to secure Firefox a

Thunderbird has always been their opportunity to demonstrate their stack is a general ecosystem, but it's headaches show that their stack isn't a good ecosystem for anything that isn't Firefox. They shouldn't be trying t

Can't I just replay the steps you save with a later starting point and sell a new work that was also incrementally made with a lot of "effort"?

I think this quote is actually about a different point. The President, Secretary and Treasurer don't need any actual credentials for their role like a council needs a JD, but they have specific responsibility/liability in corporat

This looks pretty close to the process I use for a new "blank" system: https://www.adaltas.com/en/2022/02/08/nixos-installation/ Once you have setup one system and tuned a configuration.ni

I think Richard Simmons already brought us this disruption, and you can pay what you want at the closest yard sale! The slide deck is comical in its defensiveness of the company itself, how does one compare video remote classes with boutiqu

This isn't a "show HN" so most likely the author is not the poster. HN is also probably more color blind than average, so the poster should have checked multiple browsers and then the palettes before finding it interesting en

10%? All the statistics I've seen recently put firefox bellow 5% and often well bellow like 3-4%. Given that is less common than colorblindness, colorblindness is not all that well handled on the web, and not handling a disability is

Starting with books with an intention to go into all e-commerce seems like a good plan to expand into a large domain from a hard problems side, then he could do it again with AWS. By that point size alone was advantage. Manufacturing a fitn
