I did read it and it is honestly not that complicated. The SEC is being generous here. They could make the argument even if there were no validators. But I hope this is the start o…

ETH is operating and trading with the US. It falls under US jurisdiction. The line of "we are not registered anywhere therefore we don't have to follow laws in any jurisdiction" is…

How many people have committed such egregious crimes using blockchains that it is literally worse to spend your entire life in jail than it is to give up your Bitcoins? That scenar…

>the right to examine products and discuss what you learn is really really important and is the basis of security research I hate to push back on you (of all people) for this, but …

You can like something and still admit that it is awful. I "liked" C for a long time before there were better options...

If we are offering absolutist opinions, I would like to offer a counterpoint. >I've got macros to do automatic bounds checking. I've got RAII and stack traces. I've got structured …

If you take that angle then crypto will still never be a legitimate investment class either way, because all of it (including BTC and ETH and everything else) is a giant fraud pred…

>GNOME is probably worst DE imaginable. After 20 years, they still don't have thumbnails in filepicker and even dropped preview side pane in GTK4. Really disappointing to see this …

You might also want to note that the fantasy of being able to use the same protocol to drive the local display and also operate over a network, is long dead. It seems like a clever…

You can make all the arguments you want but it won't do anything meaningful. If those 1000x people expressing opinions have the necessary domain expertise, and aren't just tossing …

>and I'm not really interested in hearing that my own experience with it working well is a lie or some trick. Your own experiences with it aren't a lie, but they're probably based …

But GNOME has zero reason to implement server side decorations in Wayland. All GNOME apps use client side decorations and have done so for years. The other major toolkits (Qt and E…

>Then can you explain what was biased about an admissions process that does not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, and other identity characteristics, if it wasn't the demo…

>They are less common than HTTP stacks. libsystemd includes a d-bus library for exactly this reason.

That's not really relevant. You can personally choose to not use Electron apps, but many people cannot or do not want to choose to do that. Like it or not, it's a thing now. I've n…

That is a correct conclusion, in the same way that many issues with X features are not actually issues with the X server. Over the years a lot of things have been moved out of the …

That's not a good comparison because it would be even harder to write your own X server. And yet X is still extremely fragmented. And developing a new compositor also does not requ…

This is a result of them learning lessons from X history. The lesson from X is that mouse configuration absolutely does not belong in the display protocol and should not require fu…

>You're being vague here, but I suspect by "biased results" you mean they produced a racial (and perhaps gender) makeup you don't like. No, you are completely and utterly wrong on …

No, it is not the opposite. That suggestion is just restating the question. They already tried to build a system that uses merit and qualifications alone, and the complaint is how …

If by "the DEI people" you mean "students who were only able to be there because someone made a conscious effort to do diversity outreach" then yes. They would be opposed to someon…

Lightning network and other Layer 2 solutions are a joke. Those are only created because the Bitcoin network was intentionally designed to be slow and congested, to make it artific…

Most of your comment is pretty bad misinformation. X11 was not designed to use Xrender. That was an optional extension that came later. And on many drivers, the drawing of XRender …

Sorry, I didn't clarify. The bug was fixed with some use of pixmaps, in other situations it's still broken. It sounds like the vast majority of apps you use are very old. Even plai…
