Can you distract people by asking this?

The entire point of UBI is that it reduces your need for waged employment. If employers cut your wages, UBI means that you don't have to work for them. Putting you very far ahead of where you started. (This is the "basic" par

I buy them if they are DRM-free. ebooks.com, kobo.com and shashwords.com are good for this, as are Verso.

Clojure isn't a Lisp, and really screws up some of the concepts.

Regarding 4, the dialog and plotting of the sequels seemed to build only on the flaws of the original. That some of that dialog was monolog about different philosophical themes was a problem, but the problem was the monolog not the philosop

It's a great book, although some of it is very much of its time in terms of political references. The basic idea is very simple - our society is being organized economically, politically and socially according to models, and the effect

Which features of Rosa Park's successful fight for civil rights do you feel map on to a misguided attempt by the billionaire scion of a pre-apartheid South African mining family to send his employees back to work during a global pandem

SGX is trusted third party hardware. The best thing that you can say about this is that it is good for some corporate mockchain use cases as long as the existing attacks against it aren't used and worse ones aren't developed.

I am a Keybase user. I am disappointed by Keybase's impending doom. If that comes across as negative, it's because it is.

Microsoft isn't turning out for the best, though. They are just very good at putting a dusting of Open Source sugar on things.

RON HOWARD VOICE OVER: It was a backdoor.

It looked like a de-anonymization attack and brought phishing attacks to crypto groups using Keybase group chat. It was badly implemented, badly introduced, and harmful for both users and adoption of the platform.

A thin dusting of "Open Source" over lock-in, spyware, and censorship. To thunderous applause from people who are fooled by the first element of that.

It's interesting that this is the moment at which you chose to do that.

The trap is comfy and warm. Why ask what the springs are connected to?

You give managers too much credit.

Those of you downvoting this - can you explain what you disagree with here? Because it looks like a good analysis of this part of Microsoft's strategy to turn "Open Source" into a spyware-laden sausage machine for Azure.

journalctl is a text adventure fever dream. Do systemd timers use a different logging system?

It tries to do too much, badly, and with an air of entitlement around intentionally breaking things. Change is good, so let's change away from systemd.

You've badly misunderstood Urbit. Once you have an Urbit identity, you control who you talk to and can create as many "subreddits" as you like. Split away to your heart's content.

Sure let's do that. This century they have bought up LinkedIn, GitHub, npm, and a stake in Facebook. They have replaced Atom with a fauxpen source editor. They've pointed them all at their locked down me-too cloud platform. And do

Hello rightswashing. Sticking an NC license on faithful reproductions of 2D images is a bit low.

That doesn't make any sense. You can win, just don't claim things aren't in the public domain when they are. This includes you, Getty.

Or so they claim. The legal arguments that museums rely on to assert this are ... really bad. I mean really bad. But taking on the combined might of the UK museum sector is not a good idea. So we have to pretend that a couple of irrelevant

It was a trainwreck that damaged the project's reputation and harmed its users. If you know crypto, it had several problems. There are worse coins to airdrop on your users but not many. The user experience resembled that used by scamme

"Expanded upon" is a funny way of saying "incorporated into systems that removed their users' freedom".

Hardly. It makes the headline something we can ignore. Much as if the author complained about driving their car into a tree because the steering wheel wasn't giving them feedback.
