I'd like try germinating, do you know a good guide for this? What kind of equipment do you need? Can you grow an apple tree at home?

A different take: in professional software, you fix the things your boss tells (or allows) you to fix, while in free software, you fix the things that need to be fixed. I think that's why I find most commercial software to be a trash

Of course a domain is registered if it's registered. It's just that different countries offer different degrees of privacy for the holder.

"That is to conclude, by having a contract (a license is a contract), you lose your rights to pursue any IP/copyright claims (the two are exclusive in French law)." So hold on.. Virtually all software comes with a license of

I get the feeling that mediocre business should be able to run just fine on mediocre people. So it can't be that bad. Of course, every business likes to pretend they're the top and can only hire top talent.

Cars will not go. There are too many people for whom cycling is not an option, for various reasons. However, I think the trend for ever bigger and more powerful cars absolutely should go and can go (if politicians choose to make the incent

Being on the internet and unmoderated doesn't mean you have to engage with everybody. The idea is that you get to choose what sort of conversation to engage in, and who to /ignore. Hardly different from "real life", ex

Yep, it was censoring messages containing specific words and links alike. Silently.

What kind of trouble did it almost get you in?

Yeah, Facebook's blog post makes me wonder what all the stuff they report actually is. When people say CSAM, I think "kids getting raped" but apparently there's stuff that people find humorous or outrageous and spread i

Well the same article also claims zero false positives for "a collection of adult pornography." I don't know if the size of that collection is mentioned anywhere. Anyway, I suspect that the algo is more likely to pick defini

"After running the hashes against 100 million non-CSAM images, Apple found three false positives" So closer to 1/10M. The reporting threshold is made artificially higher by requiring more than one positive. But anyway, tha

My take on this is that the system is by and large useless. It won't catch anything but the dumbest of dumb criminals, because those who care about CSAM can surely figure out a better way to share images, or find a way to obfuscate the

What I'd like to see is faster node-to-node interconnects. Gigabit ethernet is very outdated.

Could but by and large didn't, at least not for consumer software. You walk into a store, you buy a disc, it's yours. Legally obtained copy. No terms. After that you'd be free to use it without having any terms be imposed

The problem isn't when you're tailgating, the problem is when you're comfortably cruising at 80 mph and all of a sudden you realize there's a stopped car in your lane. It can be surprisingly hard to notice the one car t

I'd go deeper and consider not just the internet. How does it affect your life if Visa and Mastercard decide they don't like you while Paypal freezes your account and keeps your money? What if the transportation services decide
