That's okay, and there's no shame in working a 9 to 5 job in that case. Not everyone is cut out to (nor should) be an entrepreneur.

I think the reason you got downvoted is it's not plausible that the Chinese government wants an empty city. They've already got plenty of those.

So they only work on commercial software projects because of Richard Stallman?

People who run away from something when their feelings get hurt are no great loss to whatever "movement" they're too weak to contribute to. Free Software has much bigger problems than these losers.

How about call him an asshole, let him learn from his mistake (or not) and move on?

> Remove everyone, if we must, and let something much better be built from the ashes. This is cancel culture taken to the extreme. Now that everything is built, the builders are expendable. They're "problematic." We'r

The installer itself lets you choose to enable or disable Siri. Like it's one of the first choices you make when you first set up the machine.

^ I'm not going to refute an argument you haven't made. Your hypothesis is that "what we have sucks" (true), your conclusion "therefore literally anything I just pulled out of thin air is better." Your conclusi

I sympathize. I commute on a bike and wish more people would do it. The reality, however, is that cities are built around personal transportation being a thing. What you've suggested is just shoehorning something in (centralized govern

What if 5 people want to go to different places at the same time?

yep that's what I got. Tried on a couple of my web apps.

I run commercial web apps. Literally anyone in the world with a credit card could sign up. I guess I need to put serious thought into straight up blocking Europe since I don't have budget for regulatory compliance.

I have no budget to be able to comply with GDPR, my web apps are barely break-even as it is. I don't even cater to EU citizens, and even though I don't do anything shady with personal information, I'm still at risk of running

I don't use Facebook. When I want to hang out with friends, I call or text them on my mobile phone. If I want to invite people to an event, I call or text them on my mobile phone. Or if we're hanging out I'll say something li

Given Netflix's multi-year production deal with the Obamas and Susan Rice, I would expect this is just more pro-DNC propaganda. What Cambridge Analytica did was not unique or special. Facebook turned a blind eye and profited greatly fr

It's hostile to the user to require javascript for non-app pages that don't need it.

Undertale had really amateur art but it was cohesive and looked like someone actually cared about it, versus a bunch of parts-bin stock graphics some guy bought on discount. I don't doubt the guy is successful, but he doesn't real

I agree with your aside comment. That quote in the original article really jumped out to me. There are a ton of great indie games that have solid cohesive art direction but wouldn't be considered even close to AAA quality in terms of p

How about don't put Google surveillance cameras in your home? You don't "own" anything Google or Microsoft sells you. You are licensing their tech and you are their bitch when they decide to pull the rug out from under y

They could just charge more for the games. Video games used to be a lot more expensive in the 1990s and people still bought them.

The trash can Mac Pro and butterfly keyboards are perfect examples of solutions looking for problems. But I don't think making the iPad's operating system usable is an attempt to somehow position the devices as "PC killers.&q

No, it is indeed fairly insane. It's a good proof-of-concept of API-based trading, but I am far too timid to trust this sort of thing to a bot, especially considering that other people are running better bots.
