The way I read it OP isn't saying they are going to ignore legal issues, but that they are looking for ideas and don't want to get into the weeds of legal issues for the moment . I assume they intend to narrow down ideas based on

Literally no part of this makes sense. You can fear anything you want, but this scenario only exists in your imagination.

You're pretending that everyone, or even a large subset of people agree with your central premise. The replies on this thread ought to disabuse you of that notion. I, for one, can't wait for self-driving cars to replace the averag

No. People have been bellyaching about technology replacing humans literally through all of history. Computers, automation, industrial revolution, what have you. Hunter gatherers were probably complaining about how agriculture was going to

Thanks for letting me know, it's fixed now. I had the wrong permissions set so non-Facteroid e-mails couldn't send email to that group.

I'm no fan of Facebook, but I think this is pretty extreme. Other than laws barring discrimination against protected classes, nobody has a right to demand that any company provide them services.

In most US states at least, you can only sue for actual damages in small claims court. Punitive, reputational or other things have to go through regular court.

It's pretty pathetic that the only way Microsoft can get people to use their browser is to force it on them against their will. It's an admission that it's literally overpriced at "free".

Ansible doesn't install a runtime on the target machine, it temporarily copies over the scripts that do the work and removes them after the run is complete. These are a few kilobytes typically. No configuration system is likely to work

This is all true for a company that is actually pushing any boundaries as opposed to failing pathetically at a well solved problem.

Historic... Unprecedented... Thundering herd, a bunch of excuses to explain why they couldn't handle the volume that most real brokerages handle every second.

The only guarantees on Robinhood is to the hedge funds they sell their order book to (i.e. actual customers) that the counterparty is dumb money.

Seems like a collection of generic corporate speak. Most of them are some variation on "I'm so [sorry/happy] that you had a [frustrating/great] experience with our product".

Thank you for your condescending reply. I understand Go's memory model quite well (and have used Go quite a bit). News flash: you can have bugs of other kinds besides buffer overflows.

I don't meant to pooh-pooh your project, but Go's memory safety isn't some kind of automatic security guarantee... especially when it comes with a giant downside of having to run as root. Every other production-grade server

Do you have another platform (ideally self-hosted) in mind? I used to run a WordPress instance for my personal site but took it down after it got annoying to stay on top of the frequent updates and security fixes.
