This is how Firefox (pre-bloat) gained traction at the expense of IE, and this is how chrome gained traction at the expense of Firefox/IE.
And now this is how chrome's market share will decline as tech leaders, journalists and then the public find out how much of a privacy nightmare it really is.
I just made the commitment to move back to Linux from Windows 10 last week.
I was hoping to at least stick with chromium, now I'm reconsidering that.
Now that I think about it, should I really be trusting Android? Is iOS any better? Apple does appear to show some commitment to privacy, but their anti repair stance is crazy. Will I have to switch to custom Android ROM with all the Google services neutered?
trust apple to make you pay 500 dollaridoos for broken glass back repair when Samsung makes you pay 50 dollars at max. the apple support tax you have to pay is really insane. doesn't help that they basically want every company to follow their model so they can go even more insane(Right to repair laws)
I don’t know for sure if I can trust Apple with my data, but on the balance of probabilities I feel slightly safer with the company that makes its revenue from hardware sales, vs the company that makes its revenue from advertising.
I think that's a rather disingenuous if not patently misleading statement.
BCH is factually and unequivocally a fork of bitcoin code and blockchain.
edit: I think you may have a point but I don't see it and you don't make it clear in your comment either. My point is clear and factual and doesn't need your approval.
Ripple has only just now, in 2018, published their decentralized consensus algorithm (Cobalt), which as far as I know is not even in production use yet, and doesn't provide optimal safety. (In settings where Cobalt is guaranteed Safe, SCP would be too, but not vice versa.) Their production network still uses a protocol that, by Ripple's own analysis (https://arxiv.org/pdf/1802.07242), fails to guarantee safety without >90% agreement on the UNL.
When SWIFT was devised, the idea of having a singular system for resolving these transactions not only made sense but was (probably?) technically necessary. I think given where we are today, multiple competing protocols, each with their own advantages, may be viable.
Lastly, for finance, consumer choice is valuable: I like being able to Venmo my friends, autodeposit my landlord, slow mail my bills, and Apple Pay my retail purchases. I don’t send money overseas but I could imagine a similar bifurcation of solutions in this space, all with their own advantages.
I'm sure this was because at one point CRAY built one for the US DoD/DoE leveraging AMD Opertons & SUSE, and of course CRAY used to be the big name in supercomputers so I'm sure that influenced other builders choices. Then I recall the US DoD/DoE mandating a Linux OS engineered closer to home, so Red Hat got the nod.
So I wonder what the prevalence of the various distros in supercomputing is now?
Similarly if they are reading about some music gig coming up in the area they need an ad or offer for 25% off burgers at hipster burger joint du-jour that covers that night.
I once worked on a hyperlocal project that was funded by a television company to actually curate a stream of interesting and novel content about the local area. These were trained journalists curating sourced and self-created content. If the content was good enough then there would be ad-revenue (and deal placement) to follow, or so you would think. Turns out nobody was interested at all.
I don't think user submitted content will be engaging enough, but we'll see. I think anyone with a disposable income that could be targeted for hyperlocal ads or deals doesn't have enough time to use this app as well as twitter/facebook/whatever.
This might be a swing at services like that.
Not being inflammatory, genuinely interested as a user of both Go and React...
The Go and Kubernetes patent licenses terminate if you file litigation specifically regarding those projects-- if you sue anyone for violating some garbage collector patent in Go, you lose the patent licenses Go granted.
Facebook's patent license terminates if you sue Facebook, subsidiaries, or "any party relating to the Software" for any patent infringement. It doesn't have to be related to React.
Google's grant protects (or tries to protect) specific tech, Facebook's grant protects (or tries to protect) as an umbrella, the organisation.
Well - can't comment on how effective it will be as a disincentive to sue, but I do feel at the same time if it does succeed in that goal it will almost certainly act equally as a negative factor in adoption; because it's my opinion that this is creating a soft-walled garden around Facebook open source tech.
