DoH only secures the connection between the DoH provider and the client, not the response from the authoritative DNS server. It also isn't sufficient for DANE or similar. So DoH doesn't completely solve the problems DNSSEC tried t

But google is also a monopsony. There isn't anyone else the researcher can ethically sell it to. They just have to take whatever bounty google decides to pay.

Right but when you buy it, they tell you how long it is valid for. With video games it is often for some unknown amount of time, and of course they don't tell you that.

And if you buy a license, it should either have a fixed term that is clearly communicated, or should be forever, and transferrable, not "untile we decide we don't want you to have it anymore".

The problem is that even as a single number, unemployment just isn't a very useful metric. Unemployed + underemployed is probably closer to what people care about, but it would probably be better as two separate numbers, and even then

It's actually more like a really, really tall pyramid.

But the complaint isn't that Google won't process the payment. It's that they won't allow them to link to an OpenCollective donation page, and presumably OpenCollective would handle anything like that.

It could also be passed down through multiple siblings and possibly generations. And possibly the creation of it was itself a pasttime.

They have an incentive to maintain a perception that it is at least as safe with them as any of their competitors. That isn't quite the same thing as having an incentive to protect your privacy.

That doesn't really solve the problem. I've gotten PRs that do do an adequate job of explaining why why something should be implemented. Then I look at the code and it doesn't fully solve the problem, or it does so in a way t

One of the reasons I like building my own PC is that when I build it from parts, I don't have to pay then windows tax when I'm just putting linux on it. Although that doesn't work as well for laptops :( .

Relatedly, I think that GUI frameworks should make it easier to make your app fully keyboard driven. But my experience with making GUIs is that it seems harder than necessary to make an efficient keyboard-driven interface. And it should als

I don't disagree with any of that. The context for my comment was (paraphrased): GP: python has baggage because it is old P: that can be changed. Look at PHP Me: PHP still has baggage, despite its evolution. You can't really get r

That's my point. PHP is still an old language with lots of "baggage", just like python is an old language with lots of "baggage".

Most of the C&D cases I've heard about on HN, have been against small open source projects that absolutely don't have the legal resources to fight it, and I'm sure the ones sending that letter know it. I suspect that comp

PHP has evolved a lot, but it also still has a lot of cruft from its earlier days. And it has made breaking changes on a scale python probably couldn't get away with.

But TUI's are more likely to have dense, economical, keyboard driven interfaces. Part of that may be the target audience, but I also think TUI Frameworks make it easier to make good keyboard navigation and interactions than most GUI fr
