I agree with you having a centralized regulatory body set standards would help, but our business is highly resistant to this even if all programmers wanted it. What should be regulated that makes sense in both Javascript and C? How should f

I am so glad that there are enough people around to support a healthy PC components market. I build 1 or 2 per year and I haven't felt the supply dwindle yet. It is a shame that this is no longer the default option, but it can be done

Even presuming it is possible, it still raises the cost of censorship. Simply raising that cost is a good thing.

What if the goal is to regulate diesel out of existence unless it can be much better pollution-wise? What if the car companies could make a much cleaner diesel engine, but it just wasn't cost efficient? What if this kind of regulation

And you can install your own Android based OS which gets updates. All I am trying to say is that android, the OS is not the reason updates don't happen. The Vendor is and largely your point point agrees with me.

I have been using cyanogenmod and lineageOS, and the updates just worked. So I wasn't aware so many of the big names refused to ship updates. Do any android handset manufacturers ship updates?

Windows is also locked down so that Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc... cannot make arbitrary changes to it. If they could they would like break the update mechanism. I have seen plenty of preinstalled crapware from all those companies that never gets

That sounds like fraud if you mean that the ad counts as viewed even when it isn't.

I hold no opinion on "planned obsolescence", rather I want to separate OS from vendors. Vendor support is not a feature of the software it is a feature of the Vendor. Android is open for anyone to do anything with, and there is no

Apple doesn't write laws and someone with no contract with is not bound by their rules. If you acquired Mac OS X legally how would this be illegal? I will admit acquiring it legally could be tricky, but that is not what we were callin

Just because we are better than some countries in some ways does not mean we are good enough. Media and the Government have lost the trust of many Americans. How do we improve America so those institutions are worthy of our higher standards

Not if its true. We don't know if it is or not, unless you know this person in real life.

Fair elections are supposed to the check on abuse. If constituents fairly re-elect people who line their own pockets, presumably that is what they want. No amount of fair or unfair reporting will sway the minds of left wing or wing right lo

But is does dismantle any objective attempt at asserting American Exceptionalism. We are not exceptional when it comes to water delivery, and there is no reason we couldn't be, like we once had been.

That is an interesting take on it. I am comfortable with that, but I can see why many might not be. I will have to think more on that to see all of the ramifications. Immediately, I can see how it looks like businesses might try to hire dev

Why does working from home make someone more replaceable than someone working from an office? I would think in most IT positions the thing that makes one least replaceable is their value to the team. If you constantly provide in the form o

Database plus Copy-On-Write file systems sound like a bad idea. I am imagining a modest 100gb database being re-written for every change. I am sure there is some way to work around this, but wouldn't this be the default behavior with a
