You repeated the phrase different words. The question begged is Why does Google own the code?

This is not an official Google product (experimental or otherwise), it is just code that happens to be owned by Google Would you mind elaborating on this?

I first switched to Webstorm in early 2016, on a Windows laptop at the time, and the latency was absolutely horrific. I'm talking 100-800ms. I was so off-put, even after changing a few settings, that I returned to Notepad++ for a while

I'm not offended, even though you're trying to offend me. Just a suggestion, consider dropping the snarky, aggressive attitude and actually contribute to the discussion I initiated, or move on.

I said Watson had a biased perspective. I'm not trying to lay down any sort of narrative, I'm just presenting facts in a neutral light. The quote you selected is found in the link I provided.

We better get this racism thing in check before we're literally dealing with different species of human (assuming that some groups of people remain isolated and we don't experience total global homogeneity in the future)

FWIW, none of them came from me. And I see the confusion now: Qubes isn't a company, the company is Invisible Things Lab.

I don’t know how to write it better. I never said Qubes should change their biz model or do an ICO. Full stop. All I said is that their product would be great in the hands of a startup that focuses on a single hardware platform and does

The primary objective would be exfiltration, executive control is only secondary. If you can exfiltrate keys or hashes then you might not even need to use DMA to gain access to a system.

It's unavoidable for me. It provides no drawback for users who don't utilize it, and the alternative is me remaining with KVM which is a vastly larger attack surface, so your argument defeats itself.

This was an awesome read. These guys are doing some of the most groundbreaking work in computing right now. The idea of having an "operating system" made up of components dispersed across the globe seems like a fantasy that is too

I think the idea is you just buck up and pay the cloud fees. If you follow Qubes / ITL, you would know that they are hardly a "startup" as a decade-old company, and they have been experimenting with enterprise-level support.

Ok, I'll bite. You're begging the question, Why is it the best model to fund an open source project, ever? And don't list "extreme liquidity" as a reason.
