Imperial Rome lasted much longer than the Republic (1000 years if you are generous with Bizantium lifespan). Maybe the lesson is that Republics help setup the context for more stable (fullfiling?) order?

I've got a use Passport about a year ago and it has been my (personal) daily driver since. It has forced me to learn building new things, selfhosting, since most native apps are now useless.

Wikipedia model goes beyond being a wiki. Wikipedia does not pay for content on itself. So they have no direct vested interest in the content. That is not the model of MDN, it seems.

Where do you get the information that "suffer forever or die" is the fat part of it? In my anecdotal acquaintances none of the 5 cases I know of (2 with mild hospitalizations of just over a week) fall under that "fat" pa

Good for Epic to open this new battle front against Apple (and it seems Google). As I wrote in the Apple thread: I think Epic are the ideal entity to do this since - so long as Apple or Google won't actively erase apps from people devi

Another battle front opening against Apple. Grabbing the popcorn to see who else joins in. The fact is: mobile software as a market has plateaued and everyone in the ecosystem is looking around and seeing lots of profits being made by the 2

I'm not technical enough to understand what are the strategic implications of this. I have been reading a lot of reactions to this that involves hitting at C-level of MozCorp (mostly around their pay, but also perceived lack of focus?)

Let start by agreeing that while in some cases gig economy seems to disguise promotion of precarious jobs in name of "flexibility" it is imo obvious that employment regulations need to be updated to more contemporary needs. That s

Isn't it normal for non-citizen a to be second (or even third) class to citizens, in most countries? The post is about acquiring residency, not citizenship.

I question the ability of government to stop everything deemed ilegal, immoral, dangerous. A (seemingly) arbitrary line is drawn somewhere for reasons that I things goes beyond what is rational.

Won't buying meth in Walmart and misusing it be analogous to buying anything in Walmart that can be used to harm oneself or others? You mention alcohol an tobacco but the problem I'm highlighting is: almost anything can be used to

Not a naive question: why would Canada (state) need to authorize patients to consume anything? I get that substances are regulated but we already can get legal access to substances that we shouldn't consume too much or at all (ie. spir

I'm a designer (maybe of the less designry sort) and I agree that I would have moved the 1st law further down and added more clarifying context here to avoid the misunderstandings you listed.

I don't know if it's "crazy" that 1 person (if it's indeed just 1 person) can ban an app. After all political/judicial/comercial orders to ban things happen all the time. I think it's more telling tha

In my view, the percentages are not the biggest factors that lead to this situation (although it adds to the outrage when the monopolistic accusations are thrown around). The problem is: all of these big techs want to be a platform, and all
