Yes, most people and most countries are evil. In todays age I'd say the US has the largest concentration of evil.

Lots of people do.

Google will never stop spying themselves but will give you the ability to stop their competitors from spying on you. Heh..

Good/Bad are consensus votes. Its hard to escape their use just because of how deeply ingrained the programming is. We just think it makes "sense" and is "obvious" because its a me…

> Now all that remains is a good, measurable definition of what a bad company is. Lets re-invent religion.

There are existing well established companies already doing this (active cooling). https://www.worldcourier.com/ This is one we use all the time.

$14 mil isn't a whole lot when your company hires software people in the US. Software people in the US are expensive.

The industry may learn from failures, but the shareholders of private companies want a return on their investment. I sure as heck don't want my 401k tied to oncology.

>The little-known structures in tax-friendly destinations have contributed to the 15 pharmaceutical firms amassing profits of €580 billion in the last five years. >This amount outw…

Yeah, that makes the most sense. Take supplements if and when you need it. I think the real study would be if someone did trended vitamin deficiency data from all the subjects and …

You can make an argument to convince people of your personal point of view, but there is no reason to be all upset if someone has a different viewpoint. Thankfully we are all at li…

You can have your own view. Nobody is taking it away or forcing you to believe otherwise. My point is why are people so upset when someone has a different view or doesn't agree wit…

Why are you so upset that people derive a lot of value from Windows? Enough that they want to keep using it, and defend it because they don't agree with the "everything is broken" …

Yes it has an editor and a debugger, and some other stuff. So what? Its still an application. An application forcing you to update your OS would be laughed out of the room in any o…

>You don't just copy the binary on windows. You copy the binary and its dependencies. Unless it's based on .Net-framework, then yeah, you still care about it being updated through …

>Install a specific app version from flatpak, download binaries, or compile it yourself for your current system. Then you can't have those dependencies managed by a package manager…

Its funny that a compiler forces you to update your OS.

Just to put things in perspective - MacOS forces you to run on their update treadmill for the OS, and you can't even update your xcode dev environment if you refuse. Ditto with Lin…

A policy proposal needs a legal framework under which can actually can work. You can't just push that off as "that's the judiciary's problem".

And you decide what is genuine? Sorry, this whole thread is a fantasy of nerds thinking they can create a punitive policy for behavior they don't like. But there is no actual subst…

So if send an email "Fix all your bugs or else bad stuff will happen", and if they don't fix all their bugs now I can put their devs in jail ?

What standard do you suggest to prove intent?

> can of course install Arch or Gentoo or NixOS Minimal and then audit the packages that they're installing to see that there's no obvious security violations, but it's unrealistic…

So software developers should be criminally liable for introducing security bugs?
