I imagine they made that choice with the intention of preventing others from wrestling control from the devs with a libre fork at the early stages of development when they weren't sure just how much money they would make through Patreo

I've had every previous Nintendo console to date except for the Wii U. I've gone through 2 SNES's, 2 N64's, 2 Gamecubes, 3 Wii's, but 0 Wii U's. Nintendo had a great streak going, and they just ruined it with s

Agreed! Cemu is a great piece of software, but coming after Dolphin, the premiere open source console emulation project, it was pretty lame that they opted for closed source. In the case of Cemu, I understand that closed source = $20k/

For high-cost items, an escrow feature is often deemed necessary by both parties in any marketplace. Furthermore, without an escrow feature, buyers will tend to stick to highly reputable sellers, creating a barrier for new competition and e

Google doesn't design android hardware outside of their own models. It's not within Google's power (realistically speaking) to force all hardware vendors to start manufacturing secure enclave. This evolution in hardware desig

Dolphins also have a shorter lifespan. I'd wager these two data points aren't completely independent.

Certainly, I would also wish that the criminal's employer were to face justice. That's basically a given.

Thanks for the list, just thought I would point out there was a bit of momentary confusion over the phrasing "critical to" vs "critical of". The former implies the reporter was an important asset to Gianforte and that&#x

I don't mean to chastise, but there are definitely better ways of expressing that sentiment than seemingly equating slavery with marijuana legalization.
701.
by kakarot 9y ago
Yes, and marijuana laws are just like slavery, child labor, and littering. It's ironic because you mention slavery while not understanding the war on drugs is crucial to the health of modern slavery, and drug laws are just as much a hu

I understand your point, but in this case I understood the concept of tab warming upon reading the name.

Unfortunately most of this is opt-in and not opt-out. Opting in for E2E encryption in a Facebook message really stands out.

Yeah, in the same way that C is an abstraction from assembly. It's a moot point. OpenGL is a fairly low level way of interacting with your GPU.

Ahhh, okay. Thanks for the clarification!

Trustonic is about as trustworthy a name as "Safecorp" or something similar. The name itself is just one big red flag.

You can't have dug too deep into IPFS without knowing that because it's one of the fundamental aspects of the design. Try reading their documentation. https://ipfs.io/docs/

Wouldn't Content ID just be a civil matter if the revenue is under a certain amount, given that it operates outside of the DMCA?

I was under the assumption that it's worse than just sharing cores or servers. Even machines that do not share cores but share a common hypervisor are cross-vulnerable. From Wikipedia [0]: Spectre has the potential of having a greater

I want to give the support person the benefit of the doubt that they weren't fully informed, but they should not have been making statements like that if they weren't.

I'd be surprised if Meltdown was worth less than $2B. And I wouldn't be surprised if it was worth over $100B. Of course that is raw value, however in practice it would be EXTREMELY hard to launder such a large amount of money into

The other big reason IE 6 was trash was Microsoft's overuse of vendor-specific functionality, ignoring standards and doing things their own way. This caused people to have to sometimes develop completely different solutions to a proble

It'd be nice if that were a separate package instead of an excuse.

That's why I'm so baffled that quality is used as the excuse for ripping off developers and further closing off their ecosystem.

> I think it's completely okay to ask them to pay $99 then. Sure, just like Linux distributions charge developers before allowing them to enrich the Linux ecosystem while getting little in return. No, wait...
