    For the file system, the OS could do something similar to what iOS is doing when you want to share a picture - giving the user control over which pictures the app has access to. Ye…

    Wouldn’t that incentivize more intricate methods for large corporations to pay larger income? I understand what he’s going for, but I personally think that such a tax law might cau…

    I would actually think that monorepos suck with Github and others like that. Looking at the Linux kernel for example, that seems to me like a well executed monorepo outside of Gith…
