Saying wouldn't it be nice without proposing how such a scheme would work without picking winners and losers is naive. The devil is in the details as they say. Ubitiquious cross platform apps, sure! Just 3x your development team size -

Just because they can doesn't mean they should. Should they mandate that video game platforms be interoperable? What about mandating that every company produces apps that interoperate with windows Mac Linux and mobile.

Why is this a 'political thing'? Did I miss the campaign to define SQL? Of the one to specify the x86 ISA? Perhaps they should merge the arm and x86 architectures, they're both CPUs right? This feels very far away from a &#x2

'Tax logic' is an oxymoron and a trap for smart technologists to fall into. Tax codes are not logically consistent or clearly defined. They're a bunch of illfitting laws, beauracratic/regulatory guidance and interpretati

In the context of Linux on embedded and mobile breaking user space would lead to hardware manufacturers essentially freezing on the kernel version right before the break. (For both new projects or in the exceedingly rare case where they upg

Even assuming trust of the 3p service - establishing an ssl connection actually requires entropy too. Even more raw - how could a zero entropy client generate a nonce to protect itself against replay attacks by man in the middle? I suppose

The solution to Twitter is more Twitter? Twitter was nearly dead pre Trump. They really need to retrospect the correlation between how toxic communication has become over the period of their return to relevancy.

Escalation with a nuclear super power is not something to be done lightly. Leaving war as the only option on the table is a very bad idea. This is likely to end poorly for the entire world.
