Just because you call something a parasite doesn't make it bad for you. It might be bad, or good, or some of both, or depend on other factors at different times. If you count cells and genes instead of mass, every human hosts more non-

By doing it. Individual cpu instructions, even of a crude old 8-bit cpu with no embedded minix os like today, are both simple enough for a human to manually understand what they do, and useful enough to build crude versions of useful things

All of the software on a tv is a client to some service, and the service changes constantly, and so must also the client whether anyone likes it or not, and you already knew all of this perfectly well.

Why do you even ask? Why do you even think this is at all unlikely? It doesn't even matter what exploits are publicly known and closed at any given moment. What we know is that at every given moment, no matter what security hole was ju

Anyone larger like that automatically also can afford the staff to simply address any shortcomings in-house and then own it forever, and perfectly tailored, and perfectly customizable at any time forever. There is no missing feature that a

The essential elements were to succeed without having been given any direction or opinions as to how. The detail was to get money. Yeah ok, so what? The experiment was to be a company not a person, and there is no other definition of succes

Spirit of what law exactly? It is indeed absurd that anyone thinks the Constitution deals at this level at all. It's plain goofy. The Constitution declares only your right to persue and defend your needs, not to provide them to you. Su

The 14th does not predate germ theory. The 2nd does not predate machine guns. The 1st does predate the internet. And none of these matter because the Constitution deals in principles not details. "This guy was killed with a laser but t

But if you give any more specific direction, then the result is partly the result of your input, not the ai. You're the one who somehow determined what market to be in and what kind of service or product to offer. When you finish high

To me it doesn't matter if it costs more or less to migrate. It's worth infinity to walk away from anyone who abuses you. It's also worth infinity to switch from anything proprietary to open source. The claimed advantages of

The more one complains about their right to steal being infringed, the less anyone should care what their opinion is. You think it's just awful? Ok.

Quelle horreur! Ok buddy whatever you say. These arguments are so ridiculously invalid I'll trade you a Clockwork Orange for a "not even wrong" suggested google. Talk about "passionate about the subject" indeed.

Philosophically I see it as forced don't-murder is no longer true don't-murder. Why does it have to be forced? Why can't murder just be legal and if you want to murder that's fine and if you don't, that's fine

BY-SA As both a consumer and producer, NC makes it kind of a pointless untouchable dead end even if I never intend to make a business out of something. A lot of unintended things could be argued as commecial and who wants to risk it? If I d

Excuse me but as both a hobbyist and commercial software developer I say that the gpl (any version) is quite simple enough. There is no need to go all the way to bsd/mit just to get safety and clarity and freedom from encumberance. The

You can have any number of mandates that aren't state or federal constitutional rights. "Right" is the wrong word here. I think it's entirely correct that you have no "right" to clean or safe drinking water. Yo

They are only merely citizens outside of work, and they are indeed that free but only during those times. When they are at work acting as the state, they are the state and their actions are limited to the rights of the state. This should no

It's just a wildly inefficient tool whos inefficiency is obscured so no one realizes how bad it is and everyone thinks the good part is the only part.

Agreed a $60 case, even if 3d printed as long as it's good, is no scam.

They are saying that the problem isn't the quantity of policing but the quality. The poorest communities need good policing the most, and suffer from bad policing the most. Both things are true at the same time.

Until ais get better from feeding on their own output the way humans do there is nothing to question. That will probably be the fundamental indicator that something other than repeating things some human previously created is going on. So f

Automatically no 3d printed case is worth $300 because it's not possible to make it good enough quality. A metal and wood case could be worth $300. A good design is worth something, and a good printing job is worth something, and the c

I think today it's not in the name of security but to deal with ridiculous levels of ai scraping. Sure they also just want everyone to make accounts anyway so it's absolutely a convenient excuse, but it's also real that ais a

Apparently incorrect. Many comments right on this page have mentioned several automatic redirect services, sites, libraries, extensions and apps, any one of which does it all for you, just automatically redirect to a random working instance
