Also to be clear it’s not theft. Its also not spitting.

Incorrect. “Courts have distinguished between copyright infringement and theft. For instance, the United States Supreme Court held in Dowling v. United States (1985) that bootleg phonorecords did not constitute stolen property. ” - https:&

Are you sure that it wasn't Microsoft, the corporate person? They are a company of 35,000 people and I'm quite sure that they always act in unison. Also, when some random blogger contacts Microsoft and asks Microsoft to do somethi

Do you disagree about what the actual infraction was here if the story is true? My comment isn't about trust, it's about what the actual infraction was. Microsoft is made up of 35,000 people. There's no way I trust all of the

That's exactly what I said - that was the only infraction. What part of my comment are you disagreeing with?? Copyright infringement is not theft.

Big deal. How many people are actually going to go to the trouble to do that to talk to people in my neighborhood where they don’t even live? I could have easily tricked Nextdoor into doing whatever I wanted to. But shouldn’t have to waste

Lerna was released with an MIT license as was Rush. So, nothing was stolen and if the story is true, the only infraction here would be that the Lerna copyright line was not included in the Rush license.

No, I would prefer that they just use my geo-location. I wouldn’t even mind if they asked me every couple of months or so to verify my location.

I didn’t like having to give them my real address or phone number. I hope the Google version of this is a little more lenient, but I doubt it will be.

Recently it was found that prolonged use of cleaning products is as bad as smoking a pack of cigarettes a day. Ahh, well - you gotta put something on the old tombstone someday right?

Yep, but there’s a big difference with how I treat dev and production dependencies. I wouldn’t use something nearly that large in production. Typically I look at a dependency to see if I could maintain it myself if necessary because it’s al

by hungerstrike 8y ago
Should we not count dependencies that are comprised of nonsense dependencies as nonsense themselves? In my opinion, fork it and fix it or stop using it. Also, warn others if you have the capacity.

The article already addressed its own concerns: - Manually audit and lock down your dependencies. - Stop using nonsense dependencies, writing basic code is not reinventing the wheel.

by hungerstrike 8y ago
What substance did your comment have? You simply named some examples of actions that Apple has taken which doesn’t prove anything at all to your point since the very definition of security theater is taking actions that make it look like y

Sure, there’s no such thing as security theater and nobody spends money or effort putting on a show at all anywhere ever.

iOS is a field of landmines that will cost you an arm and a leg and turn you into a blind, hobbled dependent with sour gangrenous appendages and a permanent zombie-like facial expression. Things will blow up in your face if you make the wro

Nobody in my house or in my parents house wanted to lock their iOS devices at all...yet with every major update, Apple tries to trick us into re-enabling touch/pin/etc security with dark UI patterns. A few times it actually work

Also, you have to look at ads every time you update with their app store. Same thing on iOS. Edit: changed “the App Store” to “their app store”, since that’s a common term that Apple shouldn’t have been able to misappropriate.

I agree that everybody should use what works best for them. So there’s definitely value in that. Typically when I pose an argument in a thread like this, about a technology that I don’t prefer, it’s due to the fact that a multitude of user

Define rote: mechanical or habitual repetition of something to be learned. This is not something that is part of every day life at all. After school the only time I had to repeat something over and over with any kind of frequency at all was

This is basically the opposite of Microsoft. I've only had to call Microsoft less than a handful of times in my career because for the most part, their stuff just works... however on those occasions when I did call them I was able to g

Yep and also China of today was created by western powers. Mao Zhedong came out of Yale, the home of Sull and Bones. It’s not like a bunch of Chinese farmers decided that they wanted this government. This is the model for the next world-wid
