What if you went with GPLv2 only as your license? It isn't AGPL-compatible, so nobody could release an AGPL fork, and then companies wouldn't have to worry about it unless they distributed y…

We don't need to kill regular SNI to fix that problem. If a site's DNS record indicates that it supports eSNI, and a connection with eSNI fails, then the browser should hard-fail. And middle…

It's a good thing that network-level filtering is getting harder. If you can use network-level filtering to block ads/trackers/malware from your own devices, countries and ISPs can use …

Because if they can take all of the improvements from the fork, but the fork can't take any of their improvements, the fork will wither and die.

> The problem with using a permissive license such as Apache is, anyone can fork the project exclusively under xGPLv3. Why is this a problem? If a GPL fork becomes more popular, you can switch your…

Because the BSD license is a permissive/pushover license, which let you relicense other people's work as proprietary. The reason that copyleft licenses like the GPL are better is exactly tha…

"Agreed" is a bit unfair. Transferring schools is a huge ordeal and can mean losing scholarships, credits not transferring, and graduating late. Except for the freshmen who enrolled after th…

I don't see a need for this. The reason Apple's commission for apps is a problem is that they have a monopoly on iOS app sales. But publishers can sell books that can be read on iOS without …

They don't seem that expensive. They're high-end machines themselves, and their pricing seems on-par with high-end x86 workstations, like the Dell Precision series.

Sure, this takes "[cos(x)]^2 + [sin(x)]^2 = 1" off the list, but doesn't it require you to put "cos(-x) = cos(x)" and "sin(-x) = -sin(x)" on it, to get "(cosθ-i…

Roblox provides way, way more value than the App Store does, and they don't have hardware to sell to make a profit on.

This isn't really the drivers' fault though. When this happens, it's usually because the company is willing to reimburse them for fuel but not for electricity.

The term "shoplifting" applies strictly to goods that the company was trying to sell, not things they were using themselves, so even if non-returned company equipment were counted as stolen,…

Keep in mind that the only reason you had to jailbreak to do that was because of Apple's "security" measures.

I wouldn't call a kernel panic bug "machine-bricking", since after the panic happens, your system is usable again upon reboot. "Bricking" implies that wouldn't be the cas…

Running an unsupported kernel doesn't mean that support won't help you at all. It just means they won't help you with kernel-related issues. There's still a lot of value in support…

DoT is not DoH. Since it uses its own protocol and port, it's easy for networks that want to do censorship or surveillance to block it. Of those platforms that do support DoH, how many of them ha…
