I don't think you want to talk about rust or tailwind on these kind of projects. It might attract people with actual technical knowledge and those are not your intended audience. You want to target (wealthy) "tech enthusiasts&quot

Yes, that is what I'm thinking. I recently changed my mind on this and used to believe that digital goods should be treated identical to physical ones. Fundamentally the nature of things make them different and we should recognize this

I suspect I know what you are implying. However there is a difference forcing a company to do additional business in the future or forcing them to not unilaterally keep the money for "purchases" made in the past. Fully refunding c

This is how things should be and I really hope we arrive at this in the future. I like to call this "ownership light" and it would remove unilateral unaccountable suspension decisions from the equation. The service provider is not

Apple and friends will do their best to avoid a ruling and laws which could establish this interpretation because it would end their practice to terminate accounts with the reason "Computer says no". When contracting with consumer

Probably because they feel that the tide is turning against 3rd-party cookies and maybe even fear legislative action in some markets. The beauty is that Googles business works just fine with FLOC and their competitors don't. When third

I'm also curious whether googles core business will be affected. It stands to reason that a subscription model reduces the dependency on ads and strengthens the negotiation position of publishers. I'm pretty sure Google has made a

If the employer provides a work phone for that purpose which may be turned off unless the employee is working, I have less of a problem with it. It's the offloading of cost and the (potential) encroachment into the employees private li

Not at all true in this generality. Germany allows a few 100k tax free every 10 years depending on the exact relationship. + "Usual" Christmas / birthday / marriage gifts etc which can be substantial

No, that book has been in the public domain in Germany since 2015. Since then several annotated editions have been published. IANAL, but it might be problematic to publish a modern version without any critical commentary as this could be in

Isn't this usual in connection with trademark and copyright infringement (i.e. fanfic, reuse of assets/brands)? This situation seems different in that it is purely beneficial to Rockstar. The 10k reward are a smart PR move.

Probably they not legally mandated to offer it and are not liable for hacked accounts. A few years back a German/EU law required banks to introduce real 2fa for customer logins and payments. The deadline had to be extended several time

But if the car is in full auto mode the driver is not expected to pay attention or look at the road. Based on the situation the car thinks it can drive autonomously. At least a partial liability will have to fall on the OEM that's why

Did you confuse the model numbers? The ID.3 (which is not sold in the US) had a very early production start and initial software problems (they are getting a big update starting march 2021) The ID.4 production started later. VW announced ~4

Agreed. It's easy to miss that distinction if you are not following the technology.

If they manage to do that (for all platforms not Just Apple) I'd be willing to give them some positive karma. Probably not nearly enough to cancel out the rest of their behaviour but at least some. "The enemy of my enemy..."

Searchable...probably a provision in this law or fear of further antitrust action. Featured on Android, Google Assistent or in the news tab on the other hand...That might become quite pricey for publishers.

Wholeheartedly yes. Most answers are insightful and well written and contain actual arguments (including when we simply don't know something). Even those which are disputed contentwise are still respectful and allow real discussions to

I guess that's true and I shouldn't comment that "early" in the morning ;)

Great project! To be honest I'm slightly annoyed whenever a github submission mentions the programming language for no specific reason. Rust is a great tool but it doesn't matter unless you want to participate in this project.

Great game. For me, it scratches all the right factorio itches and adds some Sci-Fi and Space(TM).

Is ownership recorded like this in reality or does A transfers her shares to C and gets an IOU (secured by the margin) in return? Then ownership records would not exceed the number of outstanding shares

I don't see a reason why not. If it's an original copyrightable work one would assume that the author can grant rights to others or the public. IANAL and the legal system is sometimes strange, but there is no obligation to registe

If the requirement to be powerful but not almighty proves to be too much for Google I'll be glad to see them go. I do not expect that to happen.
