Why weren't they interested in making this ten years ago? Too busy cheating on the emissions tests to care about something actually real like lowering the carbon foorprint of your vehicles. Tesla forced these companies to do this, plai

This isn't disruptive, it's evolutionary at best. Red vs Blue was a successful web series 15? years ago, made entirely from screen recordings from Halo 1. Look up "Machinema". As others have pointed out, lack of truly gr

Do you think its not going to have all the normal blocks on it just because its in the sky? A firewall is a firewall whether its in orbit or an exchange.

Imagine you don't already know this though, to really make an informed choice you have to put in all the research just to know the answer to a very simple decision.

I do wonder how the announcement went down. Can you imagine, you work for Red Hat developing open-source, then one day find out you've been sold to IBM?? funny when it doesn't haooen to you I guess, hahaha.

When you put it that way it actually seems like a good idea.

You ignore the most basic fact of freedom, that it lives in the hearts and minds of the people. It doesn't really matter what's written down on paper, the Canadian people would not follow the Queen.

Software Mechanic is a pretty good term. A lot of people out there claim to be software engineers (creatively design solutions to problems), when really they are mechanics (apply technical skill and knowledge to already solved problems). We

I would argue that for software right to repair implies open-source.

"We do giving in ways that protect the opportunity to keep taking." Although he meant it in terms of philathropy, this is the Google business model in one sentence.

Nobody trusts Google for any reason any more as they have proven unworthy of our trust.

Google isnt even a good search engine any more. I tried finding my friends website, www.catbartlett.com.au, with the terms "Freelance graphic designer Cat Bartlett Perth Western Australia" - pretty specific, but the first page is

People always throw these concepts around as though 'First world countries' is 4 or 5 individual people. I didn't cut down any forest, neither did my family. Perhaps my family trade was training birds in those forests, so I w

I'm not saying it's a fake story, but the US is in the middle of a trade war. It could be a huge piece of propaganda. The sheer audacity of that though would be staggering.

If you accept climate change is real, and accept we need to tackle the problem, the simplest and most powerful solution would be coordinated action. However, we are stuck in a prisoners dilemma, because people with your attitude will not st

Google doesn't need to read my mail to make a good webmail interface. Google doesnt need to track me 24/7 to tell me where XYZ restaurant is on the map. These are complex services, but nothing magical about them - if Google didn&#

I saw a very large bumper sticker that said "Convict stock" in the stereotypical tattoo-script style font in a particularly bogan part of Perth about 10 years ago.

Every step on the staircase to hell seems logical and justified. There are ways to prevent this e.g. jail time for perpetrators, that dont involve blanket removal of citizens rights.

I have spent the last ~2 hours reading the 100 page explanatory document [1], these are some of my thoughts. The bill pretty explicitely talks about ASIO. I don't think these laws will be used for much less than espionage, or possibly
