   I am wondering why aren’t protests staged in front of these companies’ offices. If they have any in the US or the EU, doing it in saudi arabia, china, etc. means certain death.

   Here is a radical approach to software development. Paying for it's development and maintenance. How does that sound as a disruptor? Pay for pipenv's continued development, and for other software you use and depend on.

   You may have to pay for other people's work, and that's even more scary for OSS freeloaders.

   I didn't comment on wether someone read the article. I stated that the description is accurate enough for it not to mandate a picture.

   Yes, but what is the point of that reddit?

   Somehow i don't like this kind of reddits - gives me the impression they are hate-groups.

   I agree, the reason i find it worrying tho is because of the lack of diversity. the massive reach means even more people will have a uniform set of standards.

   Pretty impressive - the size of js crap these days is horrible.

   I think they describe it pretty accurately. The idea here is that the face is fake and propped up and pretty identical between “top” users of instagram. That’s a bit worrying.

    “ Contractors are generally not the strongest technically” huh?

    Why don't you do it for free, after work hours? Man this kind of entitlement boggles my mind.

    I think there should be either a dual licensing model, where if a company earns more than X$ they need to pay a license, if you are a student wanting to learn more about how its implement then it's free, or you just have to pay for it.

    Finally. People need to understand that expecting someone to put their OWN free time into making something open source, and the ripping off the monetary gain AND expecting them to continue maintaining and adding features for free is pure en

    My most regrettable mistake was not doing it earlier in my career.

    The internet in Germany is heavily policed and censored. There was a post a few days ago here on hackernews where someone from another country had their domain abusively confiscated by some german police entity.

    I am quite satisfied with using chrome. Once there will be suitable alternative i will gladly move away from it tho, just a breath of fresh air.

    Wouldn't it mean that the lessor would be allowed to sell the drives? I mean if you rent them out, and they are handing the goods back would you just destroy them? Something doesn't sound right here.

    I'm not sure why you are getting downvoted, as this is a legitimate issue. If the authors want someone else but themselves to contribute to this MacOS clone, they should use a more common language.

    Wondering how copyright infringement applies to Open Source Software. This OS looks a lot like MacOS, making it a free a clone.

    I am curious why they chose to rent them instead of buying them, and how many times over they paid their price by doing so?

    I really doubt google will become "irrelevant" anytime soon. What most of us nerds forget is that tech products become popular when they solve real life issues for non technical people. We can sit here and debate all day what prot

    So then the question is how do we make sure it can't be exploited? Or is the privacy of racist and yo mama jokes on the PSN network more important than catching criminals or terrorists?

    I agree with the statement that oppressive regimes around the world abuse this, but I would argue it's up to peoples of those countries to fight back. "They don't need to use PSN to communicate." but they do, and that&#x

    I get the sarcasm. But what is the solution really? Letting actual criminals hide behind online chat networks? Or making sure that there is always a valid reason for their communication to be read, so we don't have such abuse made agai

    I agree, it did happen, but the issue is then making sure rogue prosecutors are brought to justice, not making it easier for criminals to hide behind high tech and have their endeavours protected by "freedom of speech".

    I do care about the right to privacy, and the freedom of speech. But I also care about police being able to investigate these new ways of communication that criminals have at their disposal. If it were classic letters, phone calls, or a res

    Specifically, how does catching drug dealers harm you, unless you are a drug dealer? IMO this is exactly why we should collect more data to catch them, terrorists, pedos, and so on. And this is a good example to why if you are not a crimina

    Wow, so a German entity can just go around and confiscate internet domain names, without a warrant? That's really dangerous.
