It is more like complaining that Tesla wouldn't let you purchase electricity from a 3rd party that isn't sanctioned by Tesla.

You're being down-voted but both KGB and CIA have used similar tools already. Essentially, "remote poisoning guns". See page 6. https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP78T03194A0004000...

Absolute bonkers. Libraries have limited copies and restrictions on when the content can become available. Comparing library access to piracy is comparing National Parks to Squatting.

Yes. From the creators of Sqlite, you got Fossil. One of the most amazing things about Fossil is how you can track the history of a file not just backwards, but also forwards, something which is pretty whacky with git. https://ww

Indeed, just because some big corps can handle the lost revenue in return for pricing competitors out and exposure, doesn't mean piracy doesn't impact revenue. Going from "big corp can handle lost revenue in return for market

Piracy isn't exactly a zero-sum game, there is a cost associated with it. Pretending piracy doesn't hurt revenue is a shaky ground to stand on; now whatever it hurts the artists revenue is a different question, with interesting ar

Propagation is the name of the game, and perhaps the ultimate measuring stick for "useful" and so use cases.

You're free to make value judgments, but for a business to follow through, the economics of it must be sensible. As a consumer, I prefer a secure messaging platform over an open one any day of the week.

Protocols calcify when you don't control all the endpoints, consider the case in point, iMessage, it is seems like there is some security implications for spoofing iMessage for any random number, yet, apple's recourse is very limi

But it often not that simple, anyone who has done cross-platform development can tell you this by heart, it doesn't matter what you do, you must adhere to the lowest common denominator. Interoperability isn't free.

As someone who has been using jq for years, my first instinct was why not jq? and while it answers it in the README as well, it is not very clear until you compare the output to jq. $ gron "https://api.github.com/re

One of the major reasons humanitarian organisations are not attacked or even protected is because generally they provide benefits impartially, officially or otherwise. This makes attacking them "spitting into the well" and risk no

Think how any number on the z axis of complex plain isn't equal to the a number of same magnitude, on x and y axis. Now if you really think about, a number of a given magnitude on x axis also isn't exactly "equal" to a n

The answer to the first part is a lot, in the 100s of millions, the second part is anyone's guess. But the main question is, how many Messaging Platforms would allow a "direct" competitor to push them into irrelevance?

That argument is only true for humans and other "long" lived species. For example look at at how much canines have evolved in the same time span that homosapiens have stayed relatively "static". Long and static, in very

I don't know why you're being down voted, but it is actually breaking the Go1 compat promise. Which says: It is intended that programs written to the Go 1 specification will continue to compile and run correctly, unchanged,

On the windows front, it actually costs them more to make the feature geographic dependent. But on the browser dominance, the choice would actually cost M$.

It is more along the lines of "I can't do much personally against big companies". In the same way that you can't just "personally" create a better public transport system instead of driving.

As bad as it seems, without grandfathering, very few of such accessibility laws would ever make it. Consider that accessibility is a quality of life concern, when governments have to consider the cost of everything, even the "reasonabl

Sending patches to fix a project is hard work, sending patches to fix issues in a projects' upstream projects is even harder. This alone is an important point to avoid dependencies, specially if you're anything like Bloomberg.
