The first view meets some sort of ideal (I guess) but causes all sorts of free riding problems. In larger society these sorts of problems are solved through regulations. For example if someone identifies a structural vulnerability in a brid

GraphQL is bad for public APIs. It is good for precisely one thing: when the server and the client are controlled by the same entity, making updates to clients without having to add new internal APIs to the server. But this one thing is so

Lina Khan is one of the leading proponents of the idea: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/09/07/technology/monopoly-antit... The consumer uber alles idea is actually pretty new in the history of antitrust law

One of the big cultural problems in society today, and (antitrust) law in particular, is the focus on consumer welfare above all else. The consumer is not the only thing that matters

Yes, it is well known that unrestrained capitalism is bad. Next?

No, it's up to regulators to fix market failures like this one.

It should be against the law to make non-repairable electronics. The world is literally about to end and we cannot afford to sacrifice everything on the altar of some sort of platonic notion of beauty.

Simple, wait until addons are supported.

Yes, which is why it should be illegal to build non-repairable laptops and phones. This is exactly what a market failure looks like. Everyone racing to be the prettiest, at huge environmental costs. We need to make things slightly less pret

To a first approximation, defaults are the only thing that matter.

What about as an indicator of impact?

It is not that hard for C++ developers to pick up Rust. The borrow checker makes explicit safety requirements that exist in C++. The tooling does need to be more mature but for many projects the pioneer tax paid to improve the tooling may b

Is it possible to run other hypervisors under Hyper-V as well? What about next to ESXi (as opposed to underneath it)? I'm learning a lot from this conversation, thanks.
554.
by damnyou 7y ago
All of those are level 2 hypervisors. Hyper V is a level 1 hypervisor. My point is that it's fundamental to the way the tech works.

But can you run VBox and (say) Docker at the same time?

by damnyou 7y ago
https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/14217 seems to indicate not so much unless VirtualBox has switched to using it as a backend.

Don't all hypervisors disable other hypervisors?

The social justice movement was responsible for the general expectation in polite society to not misgender trans people, so it's clearly had material benefits. This is not to say that there aren't extreme elements, but shifting th

Sorry for all the pain you went through. Without discounting it, I do think that it's not about reveling in disruption. The uniform signal sent to software companies (there is no software company too big for us to bend our rules) leads

No, a contract is not simply a contract. Contracts are only enforced when a court agrees they are enforceable. A court can declare a contract unenforceable for a variety of reasons, such as if it was ill-formed, one side was overwhelmingly

All law has a certain degree of human judgment involved.

Note the GPLv2 doesn't allow the exception to apply if the library is distributed with the app. GPLv3 doesn't draw a distinction between distributing with the app or linking to something already on the system. But IANAL.

by damnyou 7y ago
I think this is true for GPLv2 but not for v3. But IANAL.

This could either be some of Firefox's privacy features genuinely making it look more bot-like to Google, Google accidentally or deliberately sabotaging Firefox, or some combination of the two. It's not really possible to tell fro

Talk to a lawyer to be sure, but this would fall under the system library exception to the GPLv3 (though maybe not v2)

I'm sure Uber of all companies can create a system of incentives for this.

L. Francis Cissna was tremendously good at quietly making the legal system as hostile to immigrants as possible while technically staying within the confines of the law. Trump likes showmanship over substance, though, so he's out. Gues

We're talking at different levels. You keep repeating obvious facts everyone already knows as if they're novel, and I keep pointing about that all those facts clearly imply that Apple wants to make money off of you through abusive

People don't use Windows and iPhone at the same time? Or Mac and Android? or Android and iPad?

One person's incentives are another's abusive vendor lock-in. Each time you use the sign in with Apple button, it becomes ever so harder to switch away from Apple products. Each time your friends add you to an iMessage group chat
