What my link is meant to show is that even if such a law is introduced, chances are it'll be overturned. Since the initial decision, the court has only expanded speech in terms of burning or other physical destruction. Plus, at least i

In countries that have freedom of expression I don't know if this could ever actually be outlawed. Similar laws on preventing flag burning have been removed[1], and even if you disagree with the act it is someones right to burn prop

As alluro2 pointed out in another comment on this little chain, you also get to pay less money for the guarantee of control over that configuration. Phrased another way, you're paying more for a limited set of tools, it's not that

If we start losing the moths it'll be even harder to bring back from the brink than bees. Like the proverbial starving migrant, unpopular animals are left to the wayside[0]; bees making honey and being well known plays to their advanta

Does that mean that paying for an OS means your time has negative value? Surely the time spent installing, configuring, and messing around with your personal desktop or laptop after already having paid for a complete OS is tantamount to buy

It would be interesting to try and apply some of these rules to managing windows. Sound can only be heard from the currently focused window, if a window is covered up it is killed (so you can only use what you can see on location), windows

Intel is x86(_64) as well, mostly (rumors of plans to make an ARM competitor to Nvida and Apple). And yes, not being able to make your own M2 computer does make the chip less open. Open-ness is a scale, and if you're going to call some

By proprietary, I more meant the "only certain people can get access" more than the part itself being open to tinker at that sort. Think the weird random chips apple uses more than the fact that 90% of CPUs on market aren't t

Open source hardware is a great idea, but most of the executions have been pretty shoddy with stuff like proprietary parts still being used, bad documentation, and worst of all some companies just releasing products with no actual sourcing

I wouldn't be surprised if something happened akin to Dune with the Butlerian Jihad. Lots of media portrays robots both as the evil dictator that cares nothing for human life, but at the same time it also will often portray the innocen

Most of the client is just HTML and CSS, the store would (I assume) still be private no matter what. It'd just be nice to be able to make custom launchers that still work with the steamapi.dll stuff

I really wish they maintained a public API for clients rather than trying to shove a web browser in a client as they have now. You could support a theoretically infinite number of system via the API itself, even if the games aren't as

I feel like in the near future they will probably append AI to contest rules, eg "Art generated with AI image helpers such as X, Y, or Z are banned." The issue I could see is if programs like Adobe CC adding AI assistance to basic

What would the mechanism behind case-insesitive string compare be? How would you program out all the edge cases?

While I was hyperbolic in diminishing the cost of not having a home, my point of regulating any new housing to the point it costs more to build than can ever be made back is a direct cause to the fact many areas no longer have sufficient ho

That argument may work with something like medical care, but housing and college tuition don't fall into that category as cleanly. With medicine, the cost of failure is everything up to and including death. With housing, the "cost

Of course the courts wouldn't say they don't actually have jurisdiction. No matter who you side with, the court obviously wouldn't ever just give up it's own power to regulate like that.

I'm sad to hear that the courts sided with the exchange. What's the statute of limitations on noticing a typo in your account?

A majority of the viewers on youtube are prone to clicking on videos of faces that look surprised, and a majority of youtube viewers also happen to be children where this effect is seen in real life as well. It's a formula that gets yo

I find that with friends a slower conversation style works fine, but in any professional context (even if you are otherwise friends) you should try and make your questions snappy. "Hey, you there?" works for a text to your partner

I'd argue in favor of Blender. While complex, it uses very strong features and gives you lots of freedom to do as you wish.

The "dead internet" talk mostly revolves around fake user-generated content and how prevalent it is. Half of these comments could be written by bots, and most of them would never be detected. Real people can still be found and con

I think that most of these types of guidelines and rules are written with good intent, but intent is what ruins good science. Science, as a method, works when you have a hypothesis, but when that hypothesis isn't supported by your find

I hope this sees court or at least a high authority, because then it has a chance of once again proving that code is speech. Maybe we need to print some books with the code inside a-la PGP (ISBN 0-262-24039-4)

The plan to shut down all the nuclear plants was misguided at best. Seventeen plants were able to supply almost a quarter of Germany's total power [1] for their lifetimes, and then the cost from reimbursing investors into nuclear power
