The person you're responding to wasn't the one that said it was "trivia" (much less trivial). I don't think anyone was saying it's easy, just that they didn't think it was very useful to know.

The other way to look at it is that it's an arms race. Just because you believe something is problematic, that doesn't mean that stopping research into it doesn't lead into problems in its own right, and it can be hard to kno

Using a network or community of people to promote each other is not a ponzi scheme. A ponzi scheme would be if he took profits from those new people to somehow pay the old people. This is actually the opposite of that, where he's getti

I feel the same way, and I'm in my mid-40's. I always end up wondering why am I watching this stylized sexual encounter (which doesn't match almost anyone's experience almost any time) and often with people I don't

No, the critique (as I understand it) is that it's not using the system library but building it from scratch. From the description it's not binding his BoringSSL .so or .dll that exists on the system and building it, it's co

My understanding is that you are allowed to sell copies of a car, as long as you don't advertise it as the thing you're copying, except for anything that is patented, for which you need to get a license. That's the point (or

To my knowledge the difference that allows that is that you license the software, you purchase the car. You can purchase software, it's just not the common case. Companies but other companies and parchase the software that they develop

I think a lot of the small detail required for a close up 3D model can be omitted for large scenes viewed from a specific angle at a distance like that, so it maybe ends up being easier in the long run, especially when you start being able

I don't think they implied that's the only time a DA would do that, just why they would maybe do it in this situation. Why would a DA want a case that can be beat or dismissed? At best it's more work taking away time for real

In the case it's part of their official marketing, it's probably safe to assume they'll either pay out if they don't follow through or a class action would soon follow. As incentives for a corporation to follow through g
