I completely agree with what you said. It’s been years since I bought any games and yet my experience just gets better and better on Steam, especially as a Linux user.

Great comparison, a dialect used by millions of people to a dead language. It really shows how much you care about the people who speak that dialect…

Just because the software is open source doesn’t means a product running it is going to be free. Heck, even some FOSS projects have financial contributors who get perks like software support, access to pre-released software, and input into feature development.

I don’t think that’s a fair assessment, and I’m someone who’s pretty invested in both projects (I’ve been using Beeper for almost a year and I’m still wearing a Pebble).

Signal is only officially distributed through Google Play, so their APK isn’t reproducible, and I believe it still contains binary blobs.

Sure, but any messaging app (including Signal) could have these backdoors in place. Heck, there’s even vectors for unrelated apps on your phone to read this data once unencrypted.

Would it not be E2EE? Isn’t that one of the reasons for using the Signal protocol?

Thanks for the links. As I read it, none of that is saying their ratio is below 1:1, just that they switch between vehicles as needed.

And the “what their operators do” link sounds like they are the equivalent of a driving instructor sitting in the passenger seat, giving instructions but not “directly controlling” the vehicle.

I haven’t heard about Waymo being below 1:1. Do you have a source? I’d love to read it.

That’s the whole point of this post: When? 'Cause it’s not happening now.

AVs don’t have a driver, instead they have 1.5 operations staff per vehicle.

It’s not happening.

I’m surprised Disney would be the reason. Epic has enough reasons all on their own.

Because he’s heavily invested in Nebula and believes their system is better for him and other creators in the long term. That doesn’t mean he believes YouTube monetization doesn’t work at all, just he prefers to keep bonus videos on Nebula to entice users to join.

He is using YouTube’s monetization…

In this case, it doesn’t seem like the patents are “awfully broad”. Masimo is actively selling products using the patents, and it seems likely that Apple stole their technology.

Except when the third-wheel is footing the bill ;)

I live on the planet where corporations will do the right thing when it’s cheaper. Making drastic changes to infrastructure every 4-8 years isn’t cheap, and some (though not all) will decide it’s not worth the hassle and bad publicity.

I don’t think I’m agreeing. I was saying many businesses will give up and just follow net neutrality all the time, instead of changing constantly with new regulations.

I disagree.

1. Even if this change is only temporary, it still improves things for that time.
2. Businesses don’t like having to change back and forth based on Federal policy. Even if congress can’t pass net neutrality, many businesses will give up if they have to adjust every 4-8 years.

While imperfect, it’s far from irrelevant.
