Can you explain more about how moderation is first class? The protocol overview [0] mentions moderation only once, in a section titled "Speech, reach, and moderation," and it seems like moderation is punted off to third-party agg

If they give you the food before you pay then they have to take cash because you're (very briefly) in debt to them. If they make you pay before giving you the food, then they can refuse to take cash.

I don't understand that response. Paper money was never designed to be tracked, and IMO that's a good thing. You're saying you'd like to see better tracking of paper money?

On the other hand, as a potential employee it doesn't hurt to ask during the hiring process if it matters to you. For a large enough company, it's a given that there will be metrics, and a lot of people don't care much what t

Hate to burst the ego bubble, but hitting metrics is what you were hired to do.

We don’t know if they’ve lost anything, though. The union may ask for the extra perks next time they negotiate. until then they get what they previously agreed to.

Phone’s already aren’t a free market. Do you, or any consumer, have perfect information about the phone market? No. Does your phone comply with FCC and EU rules? Yes. Does it contain mercury? No. Are there any taxes or tariffs on them? Prob

Sure, but I think it's important to remind people because the "problem" in the article isn't going to be fixed any other way than developers fixing it on their own and changing their behavior. Free as in beer code is a

I don't think that's necessary, though. As the original creator, you're the "owner", not a licensee. As the owner you reserve the right to re-license it to anybody you'd like, under any license you'd like

I've been pointing this out for a long time, and 100% agree with you. Open source was originally about the freedom to use software in new and creative ways, and NOT about giving away free stuff.

The discussion in the comments is as entertaining and informative as the articles maybe 90% of the time, so that's why I read them. I comment myself to add to the discussion and maybe learn something. As far as lifetime and all of that

Do you really trust TOS like that, though? Assuming they're not blatantly violating the policy (which I think they've done before), it's pretty easy to weasel out of that statement by only sharing keywords from the conversati

Those are just missing features, though! My favorite Teams bug is when the arrow keys stop working for text navigation. They had to go out of the way to break something like that.

On one hand, it's a crappy business model, but on the other hand, is it really? Vendor lock-in sucks, but people have been warning about it forever.

Yes, probably. Depends on the compiler settings. Stuff can get optimized out and stripped. When writing the code in the first place, though, it's difficult to see problems like that because it's all hidden behind magic calls to

I don't know. I worked in the projection booth of a movie theater when that came out. I don't think anybody actually believed it was found footage. But it was still pretty creepy shutting down for the night after it played.
