Oh sure it's useless. I only use it for all my work, but okay. Nice opinion.

to be fair, it's dangerous even in the best hands. mistakes happen but business processes need to be in place to prevent catastrophes... every time i see something like this, my inclination is to blame the CTO, not the engineer who pul

The people in "concentration camps" aren't using the software though. You are conflating two different issues.

If "free software" is the wrong term for the license then the discussions might not be relevant at all to the Free Software Foundation or the free software community. I highlighted right above how one of the desired use cases of t

The GPL is based around a well-defined set of ethics that centers around giving the user complete freedom to use and modify the software. This is necessary for software to be considered free. It's certainly possible to restrict usage

Anyone can add ethical stipulations to the license of their choice but the result is no longer a free software license. A license requiring a user to adhere to the software developers' moral code is the opposite of a free software lice

Whether software is used for ethical or unethical purposes has nothing to do with the license. There is no possible way to bake subjective ethical usage guidelines into a license and still end up with free software. Trying to license "

I would feel better if Facebook ceased to exist. Can they "test" that?

The parent didn't mention anything about saving money, or building a machine from parts. You can order a custom build from any number of OEMs and have a same-day on-site service warranty. The point about building a technically superior

I announce my projects so people can tell me how stupid I am and it makes me more determined to succeed and show them how they are actually the ones who are stupid. I guess I'm petty like that.

Why? Instagram and Facebook are two heads of the same fucked up hydra that (allegedly) wrecked our electoral process, performed psychological experiments on people without consent, repeatedly violated peoples' privacy and elected to co

lol I've never even heard of that. I'm just a little fearful of playing games with asteroids. Probably because I suck at Star Fox.

The asteroid's orbit will decay and will collide with its orbiting object, breaking it into pieces and sending a much bigger chunk directly back at Earth.

Instagram is mass hypnosis induced through infinite scrolling, a suggestive state allowing bidders to speak to our worst fears and insecurities while offering false hope for redemption through consumer spending. Instagram is a cancer on our

I like it when my friends aren't trying to make me spend money on stupid shit every time I interact with them.

This is absurd. You and others nitpicking this person to death and creating false equivalencies while ignoring the content of their argument. I too will not welcome our amoral surveillance overlords onto or into my body. I hope that is a cl

And that's fine. To the extent that stored data represents a security risk, sanitization can and should be done on the server side.

It's a lot of handwaving. So Google improperly saved HTML into database string fields and now needs to figure out how to safely render it in a template. We don't need a new web "standard" to help them wallpaper over thei

Content Security Policy (which Trusted Types is taped on to) already provides for blocking unsafe-eval, which would prevent this type of attack. No need for vendor specific bloat.

How about just don't use innerHTML? It's slow, insecure and lazy. We don't need Google pushing more proprietary fake web standards in their IE6 browser. They should fix the existing issues in CSP (like WebAssembly being compl

I don't think that follows. A civil court would not typically rule that a defendant who was found liable by a preponderance of evidence should be expelled from their academic programs. A criminal court less so. These systems are not eq

That's literally where I closed the article. Up to that point it had been informative and somewhat convincingly written, despite the author taking too much effort to paint his subjects as paragons of fairness and logic. But he just cou

> simply for being disadvantaged I think that's being generous. A lot of the academics screaming the loudest for blood come from very privileged backgrounds, regardless of gender, ethnicity, etc.

Could you elaborate how it follows that the judicial institutions themselves would be reinforcing 'rape culture' in your example? Wouldn't it be more plausible that factors external to the judicial systems might be to blame?

Yeah it's quite easy to block social widgets, trackers and the like. A more extreme approach is blocking scripts by default and whitelisting sites you want. Finally don't accept cookies from remote origins, and you're pretty

Google should not be releasing an implementation before the "very early" spec is finalized. They aren't acting in good faith with behavior like that.

Is the filesystem API based on any web standards process? I'm curious if this is a Google-only feature.
