You can't really force a different company to have patches and updates by a certain deadline, can you. The only hard leverage is the officially planned disclosure date.

Colin's disappointment with the Linux community implies he did trust them. On hindsight it's easy to tell "well, you should have disclosed it to all the people that wouldn't leak it, and only those".

That's precisely what Android Things does for you for updates :) Plus automatic rollback if the new version is problematic.

My impression is it's always "90 days or whenever it's made public by other means, whatever happens first".

I think your parent meant strict as in "it gets disclosed after 90 days, no extensions".

Extending copyright some time after the author's death makes the incentive to create the same for older and younger authors. Also makes killing authors less profitable. The trick is how long should "some time" be.

Or just go to the cashier and tell them you want to return it and buy it again at the discounted price. They don't even make you walk to pick a new one.

Honest question, not trying to be dismissive: This architecture sounds old to me, as in things were built like that in the 80s or earlier but evolved past. Is that so? If so, what makes those decisions newly relevant?

I laughed a bit when the video said it made the perceived speed 11% faster. Two significant figures shouldn't be used to measure a perception that is subjective and probably not even linear. Unless they have a scale of "perceived

Microsoft got in trouble for a good deal of illegal things they did to protect the Windows monopoly from Java :) Integrating IE into the OS was fine in itself, but part of the bigger strategy for which they were sentenced.
