I wonder what the reaction will be from the companies hiring Google's advertising services. On the one hand, Google is clearly ensuring that they get as much money out of the deal as possible, but it also must lead to more people seeing the advertised brand, likely even encouraging it's sales. The author suggests that this is a bad deal for companies working with Google, as well as Google's users, but I can't help but think that the companies purchasing ads from Google are coming out ahead on this one.

Don't worry bro, if we make a terribly designed system that directly benefits our bottom line, we will totally fix it and make it fair. Trust us.

You should consider actually reading the posts you are replying to.

Yeah, the lightning connector is really great for being a reliable connection for a long period of time. If Apple had just made it an open standard that everyone could use, it would likely be the dominant connector today. At least, so long as some improvements could be made to data transfer and charging rates.

The only way that USB-C is better than lightning is all the things that a cable does

Begone Apple shill!

When the bad actor in question in a military or government organization, one of the realities of the modern world is that they will use your code whether you like it or not. They aren't going to stop because you use a license that prohibits them using it, if they deem it something that is useful enough. They'll just ignore your complaints and hide any wrongdoing long enough for you to go away.

If you publish FOSS, you are relinquishing a lot of control of how that software is used. A license that says "don't use this in bombs" only works if all parties are acting in good faith, and I don't think we can rely on millitaries playing nice if there's an advantage to be had.

An emoji or two are fine, but this abomination straight up reduces readability of the stories. Honestly makes me think it's made up by a 10 year old.

What's interesting to me is how differently C# scored vs Java.

But to know for sure we’d need statistics which we don’t have.

Precisely my point.

It's basically just a really elaborate angry comment on a SanDisk SSD. Sucks that you lots your data, but it's a single failure that could happen to basically any drive. Back up what you care about. Absolute waste of time 'article.'
