This is awesome! The US needs domestic chip manufacturing, in order to be able to effectively compete, take business from, and vanquish China on all fronts. This includes AI, automobiles, the cloud, etc. The coming technology arms race is l

So this is essentially a SPAC that merges with social-justice mission-driven type companies to help them grow. While this is a morally commendable idea, I feel the outcome will be more akin to social welfare or charity on the investors&#x27

How does this work with complex frameworks like React? Does it manipulate components themselves to allow them to work offline, or does it just check for/cache the production JS/HTML/CSS? If so, how would it compare to a serve

Seems like this is VBA macros all over again. I hope they placed some safeguards in these new lambda functions to prevent their misuse for malicious purposes (like the infected vba macro viruses of old).

I'd say if you are looking to join a FAANG company based on moral criteria that Facebook is absolutely the worst offender. The list of its criticisms has its own dedicated Wikipedia page with 439 citations [1]. But allow me to give you

Out of curiosity - what do people use ReactOS for? Does anybody daily it, or is it mainly used as a testing environment for certain Windows applications? I'd love for somebody who uses it to comment.

I think we are both talking about tone. While you are saying that expressing emotions and the drama is important in a discussion over Signals' future, I believe that such conduct only drives a wedge into it. These issues are emotional

Maybe, but I think that the way these researchers reacted when their criticism wasn't heard doesn't benefit anybody. By ratcheting up the tension and participating in an internet catfight against the Signal team, a net loss occurs

This isn't putting anybody's life in danger - to my rough understanding the only thing detection of a proxy allows for is its takedown. I doubt the Iranian government has the resources or will to trawl their entire net for these p

That's a ridiculous assumption to make. Bitcoin's value comes from speculation, not from anything of value in the real world. The price could tank to $500 tomorrow, because there is no government, no trust, and nothing in the real
