Despite the ZFS in the service name, there doesn't seem to be any actual ties/restrictions to ZFS, as far as I can see? It looks like you just rent a VM from them that has a dedicated hard drive attached to it. How you choose to f

You're right... I'm misremembering the GPL, wikipedia says that it was only 'Early drafts of GPLv3 also let licensors add an Affero-like requirement that would have plugged the ASP loophole in the GPL' - I hadn't re

In theory , this is the kind of thing that the GPL v3 was trying to address: roughly speaking, if you host & run a service that is derived from GPL-v3'd software, you are obliged to publish your modifications. But, I agree with yo

I don't understand the lasting appeal of quadcopters in particular. We can build remote-controlled 'normal' helicopters that have fantastic performance and much greater efficiency (no need for 4x the motors and stubby blades)

Levitt's discovery that income distribution within drug gangs is extremely skewed in favor of those at the top, seems very uninspired. The same is true for just about any company or organisation, so why should we be at all surprised th

Nice idea! The 'privacy' section is a bit too vague. Sure, you aren't selling my data, but what are you doing with it? What happens to the emails you receive - are they archived or stored, or do you delete them? How secure ar

I've been using mailinator.com for years - they have an almost identical service (they don't allow you to send mail, though) Another helpful use case: Some annoying sites ask you to create an account before you can browse them,

Real estate (and 'real' anything) on the blockchain is fatally flawed. What happens when the blockchain forks? Which fork holds the real estate, and which fork holds nothing? Or do the blockchain proponents think that the real est

Defi is just the last incarnation of the blockchain-related 'get rich quick' scams, like the ICOs before it. It's proponents think that somehow it generates amazing returns out of nothing. In reality, insiders and cheats are

You can try to guess how many dollars have been printed or how many bars of gold exist. No-one in their day-to-day usage of dollars (or gold) directly cares how many currency units exist. What they care about - and what is very easy to kn

Why do chips come into it? Isn’t the process just: 1) Insert cash into slot machine. Play through the cash for a while, losing x% 2) Cash out (machine gives you a printed ticket to take to the casino desk). Now you have a paper trail showin

No need to be pedantic. No-one's arguing about the meaning of 'at your own risk', it's just that your decision to use this software affects more than just yourself.

Presumably: 1) the damage to statues can be dated - so we know roughly who did it, and 2) some of the damage is specifically targeted (like the article mentions, the left/right hand damage would have meaning to Egyptians, but has far l

If a show takes a few seasons to hit its stride, there's no way I'm going to start watching it and dedicate hours of my life just waiting for it to become good. Netflix + others are trying to bankroll TV series that will have a lo

That makes no sense. Rent controls don't specify a minimum rent, all your reasons apply equally to rent controlled and uncontrolled rentals.

While epoll() is a clever interface for handling hundreds of thousands of ongoing connections, it seems badly designed for efficiently coping with hundreds of thousands of short-lived connections. Every time a new connection is establishe

Language evolves, it's not set in stone. Besides, the car might still be bricked, as far as we know? Perhaps the onboard computer is screwed and needs a replacement?

The earlier parts of the series detail the huge amount of effort and resources required to obtain workable iron; the Bessemer process alone doesn't immediately scale up your steel production, you need a vast amount of industrialisation

It was declaring that the developer was incompetent. That's needlessly insulting to anyone. Making a mistake doesn't make you an incompetent person.

Perhaps because it is unfairly assuming incompetence? Everyone makes mistakes.

Maybe the creator of this should give a use case? I'm struggling to understand just what problem this is trying to solve here, and from the looks of the comments, so are many other people.

Point me at some of this 'false advertising' then, please? No-one (at least, no-one reputable) claims that anything is 100% secure. You'll only hear that a product feature makes it 'more secure'. And that's sti
