Are you seriously saying that the reason Google hasn't implemented a _web_ standard is because Linux doesn't provide good enough support for binary device drivers? That's just ridiculous.

I mean if you're planning to violate the license then does it really matter what the license is? Your company sounds shady if you evaluate software icenses based upon how much it will hurt when you violate them.

You could AGPL and sell proprietary exceptions. Amazon won't touch AGPL code.

That's not a reasonable model though. You cannot pick "time+scope". As has been well documented in software adding money to a project does not necessarily make it move any faster.

There are exceptions to the doctrine for exactly the reasons you mention. The legal system isn't as insane as people like to make it out to be.

Power is the biggest expense of a data center. So either access to cheap power, or access to cheap cooling to offset power are probably the top criteria. I'm sure there's others, latency to customers and real estate cost like you

Data centre placement is driven by a heck of a lot more than tax incentives. If they're looking to build a data centre in one place its because it fits their huge list of criteria. Tax breaks are just icing on the cake. They want a d

"Any sufficiently complicated C or Fortran program contains an ad-hoc, informally-specified bug-ridden slow implementation of half of Common Lisp." In the Emacs case, Stallman just made that explicit, implementing Lisp from the st

Already you're assuming that the dust problem is truthful to begin with. An investigative piece should actually look in to that claim rather than just repeat it. How can solar farms cause more dust than agriculture?

My main complaint about DeltaChat is that their threading model doesn't work with gmails threading model. As a result when using it to message gmail friends their inbox is cluttered with a new thread for every single message I send. I

Well nobody uses NetBSD so... Sure portability increases code quality, but at what cost to time to market which seems to be the primary concern for most developers these days?

Phones are different than servers though. The primary customer of a phone is Joe Somebody who doesn't know or care about architectures, only battery life and cost. Well ARM wins there. The primary customer of servers is developers wh

I mean in theory your web browser doesn't have to respect the address bar, it can do whatever the fuck it wants. The point is what Chrome is already doing is not good behaviour.

NIST didn't do that. The NSA did. NIST submitted the AES candidates to the NSA for feedback and the NSA proposed S-box changes without explaining why. Turns out hose changes made AES more resilient to differential cryptography.

Good ol symmetric crypto is not easily broken by quantum computers. It is reasonable to think that we could or have already built a symmetric cipher that may never be broken.

You're not wrong but the point being made is that wouldn't you want a tool which writes data from the network to disk to have those mitigations enabled?
