Ah yes, the classic "But who will think of the shareholders?!?!11" argument, good point. Frankly, yes, regulations should exist to serve consumers not companies.

I just bought an Azure Kinect DK[1] which should arrive today; Microsoft is clearly aware Kinect has many other opportunities outside of Xbox. A massively undersold market for Kinect is VR. The thing I see nearly all high-end Steam VR heads

Just because a greater evil exists doesn't mean all other evils are 'silly'. Is it also silly to worry about hate crimes against Muslims in the U.S. because China is committing a greater crime against them?

The reason I put air quotes around "designer" was to convey the fact that I believe _good_ designers would base their decisions on logic discovered via some form of the scientific method. Studying what makes user interfaces unders

Very interesting, but I worry this will just break a lot of applications that are run through it in subtle ways. For example, removing system packages can have negative effects not noticed except in subtle edge cases like DNS resolution.

Interesting! It sounds like South Korean worker rights are a little below US/EU ones, but still far superior to the completely lacking ones in China/Vietnam/Cambodia/Myanmar? Or is that wrong?
