You can also create a clean room implementation of QML itself and license it however you want if you never looked at the Qt code. I don't know if QML is patented though.

And somehow it's still a shit country, apparently. Look at how Saudi, Emirati, Bruneian and Qatari live off of their smaller oil reserves. Something is clearly up with Venezuela's governance if they can have that much oil and do t

It's very far from a proprietary format. Qt itself is available under GPL/LGPL and a special commercial closed license for those wishing to write proprietary programs, QML is not patent protected and KDE has a special deal in plac

The bag analogy still works if you remove serial numbers and just say that one of the bags was known to have came from mafia. You still can't identify which of the end receivers was the mafia and the effect is still a 'cleaning&#

Sequential bills is movie slang for marked/traced bills cops use to pay off ransoms and such. And 'the government' isn't going after anyone who 'dared to not tell the government everything they did' or even aft

It seems to be about both taxes and making yourself not traceable to a crime (or the latter is a side effect of the former, since making money appear legitimately earned will of course unlink it from any crimes as a side effect/prerequ

I'm not American and I hate Trump actually. EU and USA should start calling China out on their abuses more together. China has also swore to only use their nuclear arsenal for retaliation (for what it's worth). And China and Pakis

I don't know. That's why it's even a problem. If there was an easy answer then Apple would just do it (or not) and there would be no discussion or dilemma to be had and we'd all applaud them or shit on them depending on

I can't be absolutely sure but I think my code and online participation (totally unrelated, not even same programming language, domain, etc.) helped me in the end. It shows I have MY (as opposed to 'uni forced me') foot in th

I'm not saying it's open. But clearly capitalism doesn't lead to solutions of all problems ever, as evidenced by this. But then a right winger will visit Shanghai, talk to a bunch of happy Chinese and make a YouTube video whe

EU actually has a ban in place about drugs exports to make sure they won't be used for lethal injections because death penalty is illegal in EU and illegal or suspended everywhere else in Europe except in Belarus. Of course EU is satan

Because it's a very bad law by a single party government that is a bit notorious by now. Apple also is so big on freedom, rights, LGBT, etc. but at the same time deals with countries that respect none of that. In any case, go to https

Many Russians did plenty of good but their governments are always so awful.

Russians' dislike for complicated systems sounds very good but I hope it will have humans watching over it too. There were already many close calls and accidents (some fatal) due to computer and programming errors in both civilian and

It's really not that bad. I've seen pages return 200 with a http equiv refresh redirect on all places where 4xx errors and 3xx redirects would be appropriate... that screwed with everything that wasn't a real(-ish) browser.
