Generally speaking, no: there’s a significant difference in precedent between the two. IANAL, but interstate commerce is explicitly written into the Constitution as the jurisdictio…

Something stops my r pound way before the timer concludes.

I like it! UX feedback: I don’t understand when a round ends. Surprised by it each time.

Who said those two were the ultimate goals to work towards?

Isn’t that what stem cell therapy is?

Agree an option for consideration. I don’t think religion is the only path, but that it has functioned as a prosocial positive-sum cooperating/compassion technology/mechanism in ma…

This exhibits the borrowing GP mentions: your ‘should’ does not necessarily follow from the stated priors. Why is compassion morally mandated by the priors and not competition, for…

The judge still decided this was the winning side. I don’t really see a problem with this, especially as seeing it is at the end of a deliberative process. By that time, the winnin…

And yet he chose his choices.

I’m familiar with this neighborhood. If this were my commute I’d probably walk often. But: It’s 42 minutes by foot one way, which is on the longer end for most people. About half o…

Any links to PRs or discussions?

I should have said ‘product development’ model versus just ‘development’ to be more clear. To state another way: Linux has no way, no function, no pathway to providing this. This i…

Regardless of how it must be implemented, if this is a desirable feature then this explanation isn’t an absolution of Linux but rather an indictment: its development model cannot c…

Most of the OSS projects on HN are not worthy for you to base your company on, especially sight unseen. Using an agent has nothing to do with it.

I think it was the Wright brothers taking off from level ground while Santos-Dumpont got something flying off a cliff earlier.

Same with any OSS. Up to you to validate whether or not it is worth depending on, regardless of how built. Social proof is a primary avenue to that and has little to do with how bu…

In general that is all implication and assumption, for any code, especially OSS code.

Not only in the executive/enforcement, but in the actual impact of the regulation in practice as applied by millions in a distributed system. Regulations influence decision paths a…

You might be willing to, but the product might be more attractive to millions out there if they didn’t have these items. You can say that is about profit but it is also about makin…

Tesla announced they are adding it this week. Ford’s CEO expressed glee at GM removing it. There isn’t a CarPlay App Store nor downloads to get 30% from (or if there were, they’d a…

What you describe as pro-consumer is only pro to some consumers, because they come with extra weight, size, and case compromises that every consumer would non-optionally be stuck w…

I’ve come to similar conclusions, and further realized that if you feel there’s a moment to catch your breath and finally have everything tidy and organized, possibly early sign of…

While I’m deeply skeptical of any attempt to define a commit message from the diff, if the context and motivation is truly captured in the Slack thread or other prior documents and…

The world in question is ours but later, with direct lineage from Unix systems indicated. So I see these archaeologists as a glorified priesthood of shell scripters, grep still hav…

We’re talking about a sci-fi scenario that presupposed a lot of things but not anything that wrote code for you to the extent that society found value in dedicated code librarians.…
