Only benefit is companies not having to pay ARM. The architecture NEVER WAS A PROBLEM for open, it was always the binary blobs required to run IP blocks put on the die with the cores that stopped people from using them. ISA is the easy part

Of course. But "someone sit there for an hour downloading torrents" is not something they'd bother to chase vs "this guy seems to be downloading 854 torrents in last 24 hours"

I tried, after 2 months my VPS provider basically said "either you close it down or we close you down" as they were getting requests to take it down (IIRC DMCA or other bullshit like that)

Good, they can pay attention for once. Traffic arriving to roundabout is slow enough anyway as you can't just "ride thru it" if it is a small one. And for big ones, well, you can just have traffic lights. Or not have passing

I have mixed feelings about roundabouts. Like, when done well they obviously work and they are even mildly entertaining to drive around when traffic is light but many towns slapped them in places where obviously there barely enough space

And it will bring even bigger income inequality because yet again the rich can pay to replace the workers while reaping the benefits and avoiding taxing those benefits

Well, he asked for truth, not lying. What you're doing is lying. Which can be fine but let's not invent new names for lying, it already has enough of them.

Which other non-profit makes hardware ? rPi foundation also lives off profits. OLPC also lived off selling their stuff..

I didn't say it damages anything; I said it will be pretty hard talk to have and hard to manage situation, especially if it somehow leaks to the other kids, kids are cruel. And things that are hard can go bad easily. "But the othe

Well, one day kid will want to know where you work and what you do and you can't lie forever. Especially if somehow they learn early or other kids will. But yeah there is plenty of worse things that can happen.

And how merge queue not wastes that time ? Someone will have to take that step to update their code and fix it then test

Right but biggest projects out there like Linux kernel manage it just fine > The likelihood that a new commit lands on main before your tests finish is high, and restarting the process every time there's a new commit is time consumi

I can buy the chips and pay myself living wage and still solder Arduino nano for cheaper than they sell it and I don't live in 3rd world country. That's the amount of profit they make on one. It's not the case of just chinese

Most products aren't all that hard to reverse engineer so being open really doesn't hurt you all that much, if it is being popular it will be cloned, open hardware or not. And I think it can work if you are trying to make money on

3-5 years protection would be enough to give head start without stifling innovation much I think

...so how VC funding help solve that problem ?

Think if you have that many developers you need to start doing it Linux kernel style and have maintainers responsible for certain parts of the project making sure merges go in fine. And maybe have actual communication in other means than vi

I'd say it's directly proportional to the incompetence of the manager managing the worker.

Or just having mid-day break to cook and eat some food in peace. Splitting 8h day into 2x 4h parts helped a lot.

Or really in any job in general where you actually use the tool for longer periods of time. So that "eh, it's not that slow" and "It's only extra click" will bother you to no end when you have to constantly

a isn't used so it won't ;p Honestly the thing that I think lacks more is macros. With macros it would be trivial to write a := Must!(f()) that * assigns last return value to err * calls return with that error if it is not
