I'm confused at the problem this is meant to solve. The about page talks about fragmented communication leading to overload and complexity, but it seems this communication platform sits alongside others, not interfacing to them. That m

EA still had to make deals with each club individually to use their brand and likeness. This deal was to use World Cup and to call their game "FIFA" as in "FIFA 23".

by emacsen 2y ago
It didn't take much for this to have been a success. FIFA wanted $150 million per year. That's on top of all the money EA has to spend licensing with all the various clubs which gives them access to their brands, players, etc. It

I'm curious as to your thoughts around Swarm. My concern around Swarm is around the Docker corporation, which appears to be struggling. As a competitor, we have Nomad, but with the recent IBM acquisition, I'm concerned about Nomad

But of course this is in itself a choice of governments. They could say that for drugs, unless the drug is produced and sold at a reasonable price, the company could lose its patent rights, just as trademark rights must be exercised in orde

As you say it's not a binary. Insurance providers can negotiate on drug prices, and they can certainly negotiate based on many factors. In many countries, either the government is the provider or the government works with providers to

I agree with you, and I'd like to offer two additional thoughts. Firstly, I believe that one of the reasons these large companies have moved to arbitration is that it lets them get away with more, even if they lose. If they lose, they

This has seemed like the next logical step in education for a while now. I recently used ChatGPT to help me understand some Kubernetes and Terraform configuration. It was able to talk to me about the configuration and also help me understan

As someone who has also been in an arbitration (though not forced), and had a generally decent outcome, I still understand why consumers dislike these policies. Court is an essential part of government function that allows two parties to be

I hope I wasn't coming across as too negative. I genuinely think that an introduction with a few user stories would go a long way!

Digging in the docs, it uses words like "inventories" and "operations" which indeed look like a configuration management system, much like Ansible, it's agent-less. And that's cool- Ansible is a bit of an oddba

by emacsen 2y ago
Maybe this is the best thing ever, but the documentation doesn't answer one simple question: What problem is it solving? It is a configuration management tool, like Ansible? Is it meant for running one-off commands across the infrastru

Ultimately Swatch Internet Time is tied to UTC, since it's Zurich time and not universal or entirely disconnected from the past. If the time had been entirely separate or arbitrary that argument would hold, but the time was a normal &q

I vaguely recall there being a project that essentially used the Swatch algorithm, but switched to UTC, and removed the Swatch name for trademark reasons. I wish I could find it now, since it did exactly what we're discussing.

The streaming companies downgrade Linux in streaming, so now you have to get a PC with Windows, and deal with that.

It's really not that simple. Google, Tizen, and WebOS are the major TV players, with Roku also somewhere in the mix. All three of these companies do some level of surveillance, and yet they, or another proprietary device, are often req

So long as the incentives to build and maintain charge stations is private, then profit needs to be on the horizon for operators. What doesn't have to be on the horizon is high cost for consumers, because you're absolutely right t

The argument that the execs must be the one to choose the foam to be liable is a bit silly. While in some white collar crimes, you will find individual actions by execs, such as in banking and tobacco, that's rarely the case. Here ther

Why punish the company, punish the executives! Putting a foam they knew to be dangerous into a medical product? Choices not to disclose? Prosecute executives in jail for manslaughter. A few executives in prison for a decade or two, having t

I'd be very interested in a comparison of htmx 2 vs Unpoly, since some of the issues Unpoly mentions seem in direct response to htmx, such as response code handling.

I used to think this a lot, but then I find products that do exactly this and work reliably most of the time by simply asking you "Local Version" or "Server Version". This is what Steam does, what Nextcloud does, what PS

The term "Open Source" when applied to these applications is at best confusing and at worst misleading. While the license of the project may be FLOSS, if all an application is doing is grabbing locally generated input, sending it
