While the law hasn't changed, the prosecution policy has. USG had not charged the NYT, WP etc. with criminal publication of the Pentagon Papers, and of the many leaked classified data published before and since. A consistent change in

To update you need the data so you can rehash it. A typical tracker only has the torrent files and would take a very long time and spend a lot of possibly expensive bandwidth to download all the tracked torrents. And some torrents may not b

And then sits in port for years until it blows up. Do remember that the bigger problem here wasn't a sea-unworthy ship that had to be impounded, but the fact the explosives were not safely stored or disposed of. That's not directl

An Internet with no personal data is a far cry from useless.

It's happening here in Israel. The government is promoting an app which claims it stores the location history on-device and fetches known-disease-vector data from the server to compare it locally. (For good or bad it doesn't use t

So fix your employment, minimum wage, etc. laws, too. UBI is a huge undertaking in terms of legal and social changes, we shouldn't consider it "either this change or no change".

Changing your employment is individual and allows different offerings from different employers, matching the wants and needs of different people. Changing your government needs a majority consensus and at least some people will be in the mi

Dalvik is APL licensed, so it can't be benefitting from a GPL license grant in any way. The GPL only lets you distribute derivative copies that are also under the GPL.

One possible confounder is that having children is a pretty much irreversible step. Whereas many people who don't have children might choose to have them later. So they regret their choice less, because it's a less final choice.

This is true. But if it's at all possible, the marketplace could automate it. History shows that DRM and adjacent technology rarely succeeds if the law doesn't make it illegal to circumvent. And history also clearly shows that mos

A game only has value while I'm playing it. If two people play the same game at different hours or timezones, they can buy a single license and transfer it back and forth. (This is different from e.g. server software.) A tariff on resa

If that's true, it's wonderful and I applaud them for making this decision. I haven't been following this conversation closely; is there any serious change of Linux (some distributions, or the kernel upstream) disabling HT by

Two of the three (current) top-level replies compare BSDs to Linux in general, but that really has nothing to do with whether you disable HT. Using Linux should not have stopped anyone from listening to Theo and disabling HT months ago. You

On the other hand, if BSDs had been more popular, one of these splinters might have dominated the market as much as Linux does, due to the many positive feedback effects of being the most successful free OS.

It's 10 characters too long. But when shortening it, the meaning should not be significantly changed. E.g., you could replace "AMD Ryzen 7 3700X + Ryzen 9 3900X" with "AMD Ryzen 3700X + 3900X". 10 characters shorter

The actual article title (atm) is "AMD Ryzen 7 3700X + Ryzen 9 3900X Offer Incredible Linux Performance But With A Big Caveat". This link omits the "caveat" part. Please fix that.

I think the demand for remote GUI apps went down, for several reasons: - Web apps got better and more common - Windows (and MS SQL Server etc), which are some of the big OS-level reason for using remote GUI management tools, has improved it

And in the 35 years since, despite multiple new kernels and userlands and languages, a more unix-file-like socket API hasn't become popular. I'm not sure what does that tells us, but it's not nothing.
