I don't understand how someone would hold this tweet up as anything but an echo of their own opinion. There's nothing technically or ethically wrong with the product, despite a few pages of rambling about what they think is right or wrong, morally.
- glonq 8y agoIt could have easily been designed to work both offline or online. But it only works online. That's a bad technical idea. And "open washing" is ethically terrible. So is patenting an idea that takes a weekend to code. So is pushing an unnecessarily expensive system onto vulnerable third-world countries that need a solution to their addressing/geolookup problems. So yeah. Terrible.

That's not a technical idea that a player can rationalize, it's a business oriented technical solution. > And "open washing" is ethically terrible. > So is patenting an idea that takes a weekend to code These are based on what rationale, other than your personal preference?
