The same argument can be used in favour of Apple here: If you don’t like Apple’s rules, don’t use Apple devices or don’t sell your thing to Apple users.

I also thought never, but since IANAL I had to google before I commented and found something about some specific kinds of fines in Spain :D

I read an explanation in another context, that sounded plausible: Mostly people with symptoms get tested, and the vaccines are quite good at preventing symptomatic illness. Thus the share of infected individuals not caught by tests is large

If you use both SBT and npm, for example, to build your full project, then having something to wrap them could be nice. That could be make or earthly or a random script. Also if you’re using SBT and you do like it, but you want something it

Many employment agreements don’t really define hours. If the boundaries are fuzzy that makes it difficult to determine what happened as part of the employment and what did not. So deciding that work within a specific discipline should be co

I think it should have been written for politicians. The big problem isn’t that some American police agencies use these tools, the problem is that it’s legal to make, sell, use, and export them. And that’s not for (American) lawyers and jud

Aluminium and BTC are not at all similar. Aluminium is a useful commodity. It's used to build things people need and want, and to wrap falafel rolls. BTC is a currency with no value in and of itself.

True, but also the other way around: A less advanced civilization would have much more trouble with elephants, sea urchins, bacteria, and other natural factors than with humans.

> You might be the best Java programmer in the world This is also true in the opposite sense. A mediocre programmer at a bank or a high-profit company could still create a lot of value because of the surroundings or simply the industry.

Is the point that I sometimes use these networks? Then I somewhat agree - I would set up a separate guest network without shenanigans for guests to use. This avoids both the ethical sketchiness and having to explain why their web browser is

I read that as LanternLight83 is both the network operator and the user in this case, and if so it’s not really a problem. I would also love to MitM myself in some cases, mostly because it’d be interesting to see what’s going on.
