   how do legal porn websites disallow underage viewers? I dont see wsj writing articles that says - pornhub will show porn to anyone, even children?

   Honest question - how is this different from anyone being able to access porn websites on the internet? Are we suddenly in favor of censorships?

   one would think this was an explicit usecase/requirement 10 years back, nor was it obvious that this was needed. Progress is always slow but inevitable.

   So how does graphene OS people build the OS from Android? Or Samsung build Android for their phones? Or Motorola? Do you think Google is compiling the OS for these folks, and releasing to them?

   +1. The entitlement on some of these people are out of the world. There's a perfectly capably operating system being made freely available for everyone, but nope - they want the source code of google maps, google search or whatever.

   So if development happens privately, and if they release the source with makefiles (or whatever they use), it is still open source yes? Because it is exactly what is going on.

   What if the exclusive club had one rule for owner operator and another for rest of the folks? Would you say that's pretty discriminatory?

    Gapps were ever open source. Android, the operating system, is what's open source. Are you saying because Google Maps isn't open source, the operating system is useless?

    Would you be surprised if I told you there might be people who prefer sheets way and dislike PowerPoint and ggolot2? These are subjective things. We can't make proclamations that say 'this is bad!'

    Again, I ask isn't that still open source?

    Are you confused between open source and open development? Isn't the source fully open? Edit: If I made a movie, and made the files freely available after I make it and let you do whatever you want with it .. would you insist that it i

    And let me guess, you consider to be present before others showed up? There's another term for this - gatekeeping.

    Someone mentioned Google cloud console (or AWS console) looks crazy and intimidating. Perhaps to a novice. But for experienced folks it is pretty ok.

    Really? It's that hard for you to make a chart in Google Sheets? What's your preferred way? Matplotlib? Seaborn? R?

    Big claims but no examples. What are some complex apps that are seamless and easy? There's a reason why a cockpit of Airbus 380 looks intimidating. Some of the complex stuff looks complex.

    Brave takes open source chromium code, which is majority funded by Google, and adds things on top of it. People underestimate how expensive it is to build a browser. There's a reason why we have only 3 major engines. Firefox (strugglin

    The experience on Sonos is terrible. There are countless examples of people sinking 1000s of dollars into Sonos ecosystem, and the new app update has rendered them useless.

    There's a difference. An employee going rogue is different from a non employee/ex-employee doing malicious things. Only one of them would be seen as negligent.
