The only thing I can guess is they thought that to succeed in convergence, they would have to win the phone market, and that was the harder market to design for and react to. So, t…

It seems I run into far less assholes driving for Lyft, though. Maybe their QC is better? EDIT: I mean, they can start out driving for both, but if you get fired by Lyft, you can't…

Did you request this with your plugin/addon developers, or with mozilla yourself through their many methods of contact for this if you are a plugin/addon developer? I don't get why…

Firefox is not removing those plugins. Vimperator has an issue in it's github referring to e10s and webextensions from 2015. It was commented upon a few times through 2015, more in…

Partially because when Mozilla initially said "XUL is going away, what do you guys need?" Everyone just laughed at them and said "No, it's not, you'll never replace it because it i…

See, I don't think it was poorly communicated by the Mozilla team. I've been reading their volunteer emails and their public facing blogs, and seeing their commentary on e10s all a…

But this is not a secret. This has been discussed repeatedly for at least 5 years now. The current XUL methodology CANNOT sustain, and everyone knew this. But everyone also knew Mo…

There's no option to outright buy a property. I might not want a loan because I can purchase the property for list. While tax benefits factor into loan interest and what not, purch…

The other side to that argument is, people who are wronged by Gawker need at least a billionaire to be able to get their day in court. It should concern you that it took money from…

True, but to be fair, their power has GREATLY diminished from what it was back in the days of the Robber Barons. It seems like they have a lot of control because we get to see behi…

There were rumblings about a company that could do this weeks ago. Snowden brought up it was possible, and likely even hit upon the method. I think the "mysterious third party" abs…

Why would the company used have any responsbility? Remember, the phone is owned by San Bernadino county. They wanted it cracked. The holder was the San Bernadino Sherrifs', they wa…

Somewhat agree, but Apple DID have a court order they were fighting. They did choose to fight this legally adjudicated and issued order. The owner of the phone and the law enforcem…

None.

Nope. The government does not have to disclose investigative techniques. If Apple wanted to help the government, they could have, but they chose not to take that tact. Expecting th…

There was an active warrant allowing it.

Apple has, as part of the case, admitted that data access was obtained by the FBI. Unless they're in on it too, of course.

Except that's not how courts work. Apple is the defendant, the government is the plaintiff. The plaintiff should always have the right to end a case/action. Allowing defendant's to…

OH! Right :D Yes, I mean you can go on ad nauseum with it, definitely. But RMS is saying he's a better person because of this one singular thing. He's the one who makes the claim t…

I've found the whole rubyist community to be somewhat hateful towards any other languages. It makes it hard to want to use the language when the suggestions I get on my "gems" are …

But it's not . I agree that his computer has 100% free software, and that's a good thing. But he paid for that 100% free software by sacrificing good care of workers. And when he p…

Its actually kinda gotten nicer. IN the past, one RMS zealot would litter your project's mailing lists with inane ramblings if you even DARED approach businesses. Then those kids g…

The one that strikes me as the most obvious is the RMS one. Richard Stallman goes out of his way to scream at people because "software must be free", and he points to his laptop , …
