The kernel isn't working on commercial deadlines. Maintainers don't have to worry about their stack rank at the end of the year. They don't have to justify their head count. Some of this happens internally I'm sure, at p

With lasers that powerful, it's not just about aircraft. If you pointed it at people intentionally you could blind them, which makes it a weapon. There's tons of stuff that has legitimate scientific uses that needs to be licenced

I realize this is just proving your point, but it also demontrates why the US doesn't really see the current culture as an issue: GDP per capita: USA: 63,543.58 USD SWE: 51,925.71 USD (for reference) UK: 40,284.64 USD These are all for

There will always be someone more powerful than you. I prefer that I can elect the leaders of the most powerful group. This is why anarchy doesn't make any sense: The government is simply the most powerful violent group. As long as vio

As a someone ignorant occational user: It'd operate similar to a git repo no? Transactions within KZ would be accepted by the local chain, which would then be merged when reconnected. If there's a conflict you have to decide which

Will the fabs have the discipline to actually use the extra cash injection wisely?

It literally can't, if the thing you comparing against also isn't dropping or corrupting packets. It's a straight up scam.

At least with those things, there's the theoretical possibility that there's a difference though. Why is it so hard to convince people that on the digital side of the equation, there's an objective right or wrong answer, and

Hard to make that argument when SA is one of (the?) wealthiest country in all of Africa, and they only have something like 35% vaccine uptake even though it's broadly available. Granted, SA has enormous wealth inequality issues for w

Are you upset about the lack of criminal penalties imposed directly by the FCC? That's mostly just an organizational issue. The FCC isn't law enforcement. They can only impose civil penalties. Referring the issue to the Justice de

I don't think you're answering the question here though. It's completely plausible there are situations where the contant is local time, not UTC (or TAI, if you want to get really obnoxious). Let's say I made an appointm

It's an AT&T thing in the US. They don't allow non-AT&T locked phones (except for iPhones...) to access VoLTE/wifi calling. It's complete bullshit.
