The alternative benefits nobody. Google famously pulled out of China rather than censor, but that was just a PR move because they already were failing in China. I'd argue that censorship is an altogether different situation anyway. App

They are legally required to do this. The alternative was completely disabling iCloud in China. This only applies to Chinese users of course.

It is possible, but that's not what happened. sysop was in the right here. Stop defending someone's right to be extremely creepy on company equipment over the well-being of the creep's coworkers.

Better how? If using GPLv2 means companies stay away from the project instead of building on top of it, that's not a win for anyone.

From my perspective Google is far worse. I don't ever see Cloudflare's Captchas but I get Google's all the damn time, because I try to avoid Google properties. They intentionally punish people that aren't regularly using

You calling this a "bug" makes it sound like you expect Cloudflare to violate your privacy by tracking which websites you've visited in order to determine that you're not a threat. It sounds like the point of Privacy Pas

Halloween makes a lot more sense. Steampunk searches don't spike in september/october; they begin in june/july and trend upwards, reaching a peak in october before abruptly dying. This is very clearly a halloween trend.

They are following the exact same law literally everyone follows and always has followed , which is to take down apps that violate the local laws. I don't understand why you're taking a particular issue with this. "Apple, in

It's no harder to change than using any other identity provider. If you want to change, the service just needs to provide some way for you to link your existing account to a new sign-in mechanism. Classically, this is done merely by de

This article, and all the response here on HN, is really quite baffling to me. Apple complies with local laws. If the local government says the app violates their laws, Apple doesn't have a whole lot of choice here; either pull the app

I get your point, but a benefit of coding the script is it's frequently easier to verify the script is correct then to verify that the repeated operation you did by hand on the large list was done correctly for every entry.

If you very conspicuously avoid using pronouns for someone, it’s pretty obvious what’s going on and that you’re deliberately avoiding gendering someone correctly. It’s not as bad as using the wrong pronouns, but it’s still very disrespectfu

Go having nil for various types is indeed a problem. In fact, a few weeks ago I caught an issue where a map in Go was unexpectedly nil when it should have been full of data (missing initializer), and I caught it because the serialized data

You still seem to be missing the point. If you use a Rust construct that does bounds-checked accesses, you're explicitly using bounds checks. You're not paying for anything beyond the bounds checks that you're using. If you u
