What about the incentive to release "the most secure chips on the market", are you discounting that a bit too much? Granted that human nature tends to mean these factors don't have…

Indonesia bans the import of 2nd-hand clothing and footwear, specifically because a large proportion of it ends up in landfill or incinerators. That definitely would be a worse env…

I doubt any lawyer would bring a suit against one of the biggest corporations on the planet on contingency. Its going to be a hell of a lot of work to win even a clear-cut case aga…

+1, Django docs were gold standard when I last used it. Also DRF. I still miss them, 5 years later.

Still... if you plan to add 100MW of renewable this year and retire 100MW of coal, then demand goes up by 100MW, do you now add 200MW of renewable instead, or do you delay the reti…

And maybe as the type of generation used for the marginal difference in energy required. If your country generates 90% of its electricity from hydroelectric and 10% from coal, you …

> just because that group being hurt isn't "your" group of people, it doesn't mean they deserve it. When the group is "the most successful in the current system", it's not exclusio…

I think they're referring to the date, April 1 is "April Fool's Day" in many countries. Some companies put out joke press releases on April 1 that are not intended to be taken seri…

Who are you, and how did you get into my kitchen?

Know any good apps to gamify weight training? Strava really worked for me for running, now I'd like to replicate the experience with strength training.

This exists in the UK already at least. Last time I checked (10+ years ago) you could choose to split 50/50 rent/mortgage or 25/75 either way.

brutish? Although as a Brit myself it's amusing to consider myself some kind of atavistic archetype of humanity

Oh I'm sorry, I'm referring to AWS exploiting the free software, not their customers, but I can see how I was not clear. The rest of the 500+ comments here do a good job arguing bo…

They're literally describing the chilling effect. It shows a lack of imagination if you think this "free market" is the only way to create valuable software. PS. In a truly free ma…

> Amazon is outcompeting them by providing a better service to their clients. I wouldn't necessarily say AWS' ability to use ES as a loss-leader for their Data Transfer charges is …

It's a LOT from a donate button. Donate buttons generate barely any revenue at all, generally speaking. This game must have either got lucky with the crowd that's playing it, or ha…

Impossible question, it depends what your app does and what your users do. Even within the same company, 1000 concurrent users of Google Maps will use completely different resource…

You left a certain major world religion off your list that counters your argument... Accident?

Presumably in this example all grocery store clerks, bar and restaurant service staff, doctors and nurses etc do not have parents and grandparents? Or do they not count for some re…

> Only no-SLA consumer apps. Just having a price tag on unavailability will change most of the reasoning for his points. I don't think so. The gist of the reasoning is that it's be…

It's perfectly fair. If they had hired all chefs into upper management, one could say "too many chefs and not enough engineers!", regardless of the quality of the chefs.

I don't think "cars cost more than just the price of gas" is mental gymnastics, but an exact $ figure we can all agree on will be tough. Once they become a thing, the price of an a…

How would more personal responsibility and self-awareness help Chinese dissidents, in your opinion?
