honestly thanks for responding in good faith/spirits, probably was a bit overly snarky I appreciate the thought put into the answer, and I do grasp that the point is that the EU system has converged on much faster resolution times than

Do you mean the market is stagnant or the tech is stagnant, because those are different things imo. If we have finally reached the final boss of silicon lithography, then the market will figure out whatever nodes make sense (best efficiency

This has been a perpetual problem we’re trying to solve at our org and while I was on that team I was pushing for the idea of macaroons (we just use JWT and we suffer many headaches because of it). My suggestion at the time was macaroons wi

Cloud providers are very careful to make sure of that - they have deliberately eschewed performance increases that are possible (and have occurred in the consumer market) in favor of keeping the “1 vcpu = 1 sandy bridge core” equivalence. T

it’s a complex system and you can’t experimentally test the effect of changing specific values, so everything is tremendously confounded. and it turns out that by building in a strong preference towards the null hypothesis, science has tend

Yeah a lot of these questions are just obviously bad-faith and wouldn't be made in any case except for the fruit company. It's intentionally dragging down the discourse with dumb bullshit. "selinux had an escape once therefo

This has been the obvious end-goal for the users who constantly demand the EU regulate this or that. People want a legislative solution to the iPhone vs android dilemma: just ban iPhone already. That’s what they want, they’re just boiling t

Google play store also uses human review. The question is whether there’s more malware on stores like f-droid, and the answer is yes, there is of course significantly more malware. This even pollutes the official Play Store to some extent b

Apple specifically has deals with Amazon such that Amazon is the only allowed seller and there is no third party inventory to commingle. Most brands do not do this, apple is an exception and has the clout to demand such an exception.

I’m a fan of this too, essentially the idea would front-load the cost of repairs into the product as a consumption tax at the point of sale. This internalizes the externalities of this planned obsolescence. But of course it’s not really a f
