Don’t make the mistake of overromanticizing the simple solutions. They have nice, well understood failure conditions, and they come up relatively frequently. When you start playing the HA game, the easy failures go off the table, and thing

This… seems about right? A trademark dispute is a civil issue between two parties. We have legal systems to solve these. Cloudflare should ensure that their customers get timely notification of complaints, and that’s pretty much it.

No snark perceived! It was a valuable post that added more context to a topic that deserves it. Far too many people perceive a "black and white", open source / closed source distinction where none exists. > That said, ma

I think ghaff gave a pretty good answer as well, but here's some more nuance: > Does that mean, the owners of the platform to have to pay the other platforms? No. Tons of "value-add platforms" exist like this: wrap a bunch

If your job is to pick the dependencies, your job is also to understand what picking those dependencies means. It rings hollow to throw your hands up at the license part and say - “not my job”. It is. Understanding the legal risk of that de

“By selecting this license I give anyone permission to do X, Y, and Z with my software - provided they do A as well.” “I’m going to chose to do Z and A with your software.” “Moral hazard! Moral hazard!” Picking a license indicates what you

Not sure how to parse the question; answering both ways. How long can a person wear one? The few times I work in office I wear one all day, and don’t find it difficult. How long can a single N95 be reused? I’d read research indicating the r
