The fair thing to do would be to bring proceedings against him the New Zealand. Extraditing him to the U.S. isn't accountability: it's a flex.

Is the terminology slightly off? AIUI TypeScript has type unions. But this looks like a discriminated union which I'd recognise from F# or Haskell. The distinction I'd draw is that for a DU there are named case constructors. Yes?

Cool that you open sourced this. As you say there's nothing open quite like this. Not using MJML as a design decision. Foes that simplify deployment a lot, or just keep things lighter? In turn, do you have to strangle a lot of compatib

You're not really describing that much effort in the scheme of things: make a filing and notify several parties. Annual accounts are a far bigger burden, and they have to be done.

It's cheaper to change the name and logo in one go, than to change the logo; then later change the name and logo. I cannot agree they want to change the name, otherwise they would be.

There's no legal ramification of changing their name. Companies change their names every so often; it doesn't erase their legal rights or obligations. Technical? Not sure what huge problems they are, but as a Software Foundation y

Required for who? It's fine that you need it. But I think you overestimate the number of people who simultaneously go to pool parties, jump in with their jacket on, and don't have accidental damage insurance.

Often there's a long click menu in your SMS app to do it. But all that really does is copy the body into a new SMS. There's no metadata to indicate it's forwarded, as you suspect. This means texting 7726 is a two step process

Observables are painful, especially when they should just be available Promises. But Signals? That's just what everybody is converging on, hence making Angular no worse and no better than the competition in that regard.

No, I don't think they do non-targetted advertising. Also this case was about the fake engineered consent for targeted advertising.

Non targeted advertising, limited targeted advertising underpinned by genuine consent, paid features. All of these are lawful business models.

I presume they're releasing it because they traibed it using the just-announced CoreNet library. However, the model is proprietary. I'm tired of the open washing.

Sure, in theory. But if you move so fast that you already are running the base 8x22B model from last week, you can easily fix this. I've long thought that if you want reproducibility and reliability, you need to pin your deps. So, IMO,
