It's not a reasonable argument at all. It's like arguing that the USPS is "not fair" to companies like UPS or FedEx. Or that public buses are not fair to Uber. Or libraries to book stores.

Oh, so they purposefully designed it to not be legal? Well in that case I guess it's ok!

No. I haven't looked into this particular implementation, but most blockchains have the fundamental problem of being immutable. Storing domain names in an immutable registry seems like a legal disaster waiting to happen. What if someon

Pretending that horribly complex geopolitical issues are simple does not magically make them simple.

Taiwan is not a member of the UN so WHO kind of have to act that way. It sucks, but that's a problem with the UN, not with WHO specifically.

Pinning dependencies might introduce security issues. Not pinning dependencies is a security issue.

Too long. Therefor create-react-app is not useable for anything other than toy or hobby projects.

I have no idea what a "consumer email address" is and the page does not explain it. Consumer of what? If they meant to say "any email address" they really should rethink their language to be less dehumanizing.

There used to be a big debate about where the reply should be placed when replying to an email. Bottom-posting means the reply is placed below what it's replying to, like in any normal conversation. This is the obviously correct choice

No, they are providing "P2S" encryption. Peer-to-Server. Huge difference.

Or you can set up email notifications and do the exact same thing in any mail client, like people have been doing for ages. But that's not cool any more I guess.

Almost. Aerospace usually follows DO-178C, which has a many similarities with MISRA but is a separate standard.

That's exactly his/her point. To a techie it's obvious what it means, but if the code runs on some hardware that ends up killing people for real and the code gets inspected during discovery, having words like that could be a

A lot of routes have only one airline though.

To be fair, so is the US (NSA) , but people rarely suggest that packages from the US should be monitored extra closely for some reason. Of course every package used in any code that contains sensitive data should be audited along with its

No, storing cookies needed to make your site work was always needed. Sending tracking information to third parties required a notice of some kind, no matter if it was in the form of cookies or some other mechanism. So, no there was never a

Why not? If you don't want that, get a hotel room.

by tirpen 7y ago
Then those who want to rent out their houses should be treated as hotels, taxed as hotels, regulated as hotels and obey zoning rules as hotels. Because they are in fact, hotels.

by tirpen 7y ago
Of course not. There is no law requiring cookie notice popups, there never was.

Sure, but then we would reasonably have to blacklist the US as well to be consistent (supporting the genocide in Yemen, putting kids in concentration camps, separating families from babies, rampant corruption, no rule of law, etc etc), and

Then again, as a Europen, I've said "Fuck China" and "Fuck The US" about equally often lately and would never consider visiting either until conditions improve...

"The economy" is doing fine, but that's not a very interesting bunch of numbers for most people. The private economy of the majority US households has been getting steadily worse for decades.

Why shouldn't we compare them? IRC has probably 95% of the features slack has, is completely free and has been around since 1988. Seems like a logical comparison to make.

For airplanes flying at high altitudes with modern computers, random bit flips from comsmic radiation is actually a very real threat that has to be considered. IIRC there's about a factor of about 300x more radiation at 30000 ft and
