None, because they are above the rules. You need actual enforcement.

Or the other guy's community network idea but it would have to also publish the realtime activities and whereabouts of all politicians who voted against making this illegal.

Much like the law that stopped video rental companies from telling what their customers were renting, that passed after some politicians had their video rental histories leaked.

why would Iran not make a nuke when America keeps bombing countries that don't have nukes, and avoids bombing countries that have nukes (most notably North Korea)? They have all the incentives to have a nuke so they'll stop getting bombed. Obama negotiated to avoid this but Trump ripped it up and bombed them, so they're definitely not going to trust any agreements with the west ever again. From their perspective, their only path to not getting bombed to shit involves having several nukes. It's quite rational for them to do that.

Small correction: Israel has been doing a genocide continually since 1948 - it didn't start in 2023.

people mock communism for this, but capitalism also does it all the time

And not in human-interpretable ways. An LLM was told to behave in a certain way and then output random numbers. When the numbers were pasted to another LLM instance, it also behaved that way. I wish I remembered more about that study or had a link to it - it was fascinating.

The cloudflare bug was the equivalent of an uncaught exception caused by a malformed config file. There's no recovery from a malformed config file - the software couldn't possibly have done its job. What's salient is that they were using an alternative to exceptions, because people were told exceptions were error-prone, and using this thing instead would make it easier to write bug-free code. But don't do the equivalent of not catching them!

And then, it turned out to not really be any better than exceptions.

Most Rust evangelism is like this. "In Rust you do X and this makes your code have fewer bugs!" Well no it doesn't. Manually propagating exceptions still makes the program crash and requires more typing, and doesn't emit a stack trace.

I see even the coreutils maintainers find themselves needing -n (no newlines) and -c (count) options to "yes".

A site that hijacks the back button. Pressing back takes you to the loading screen, which takes you forward to the site again. Ouch.

you have 85 minutes to delete "(what is it with fish?)" which ruins the joke

You can for using them commercially.

Successful selfishness. The ability to make executable plans to tilt the future in your favor.

Why would you write in C++ then wrap it in a C++ to JavaScript wrapper then wrap it in a JavaScript to C++ wrapper

That is a hack. It shouldn't need to swap - it should just be able to start using it as normal memory when under memory pressure.

You must not live under an HOA. They'll fine you for not making your house look the same as everyone else's.

There is patent law. Patent law says you can't do the patented thing without the license. Growing the seeds is patented. So you can't grow them without license. This may be so obvious that it never needed to become a notable precedent-setting case.

IMO SCOTUS should retain the power to interpret vagaries of law; Congress still holds ultimate power, as it can pass a more specific law overriding their interpretation.

What about striking down unconstitutional laws, though? That has to be up to SCOTUS, nobody else can do it.

The news on the phone is worse, in fact.

Open source is better because if you need the device driver then you can step up to maintain it yourself. It doesn't mean someone else will magically do it for you. I've used devices with very obscure incantations to get some random person's hack to run on Linux that worked natively on Windows.

Feetures being dropped because nobody wants to support them is a prominent feature of free software. That's part of "no warranty". If it does bother you, you're supposed to step up to support it yourself, or pay someone to.

If you were in Scotland or Europe more generally, it'd be illegal for "unlimited mileage" to not actually be unlimited mileage.

If CF decides you're subject to an invisible limit which they won't even tell you and you have your domains at CF, they hold your domains hostage. Luckily, these guys had their domains somewhere else so they weren't hostage. Don't be the one who is.

When I think about products with too many primitives, I instantly think of Snapchat and Instagram - my two least favorite apps.

A trademark means nobody but you has the right to use the name in commerce. It doesn't mean Facebook is forced to give you a site (whatever that means).

We will then act based on the ruling, which could take months.

That's fine, you're paying for all lost business revenue during that time since it was obviously caused by your gross negligence (liability for which cannot be waived). Hmm. Might be in your interest to undo the mistake quickly?

So are the reporters at Associated Press. The capital class has decided that workers are superfluous, and product quality doesn't matter, and they just need to hold onto the money they have already collected and there is no need for it to flow downhill.

And there's zero setup. Just a deployment yaml that specifies exactly what you want deployed

Writing this yaml is hours and hours of setup if you can't ctrl+c/v from your last project

There’s just no reality where a bicycle can share the road unimpeded with a motor vehicle safely.

Logically equivalent:

There’s just no reality where a motor vehicle can share the road unimpeded with a bicycle safely.

... or a pedestrian. Those motor vehicles sure are a menace!

Cloudflare didn't give them the option to quit hosting with CF and port their domains out. It held the domains hostage because the domains were registered through CF.

Animals die too in a genocide. I don't understand your point here. Namecheap decided they should proactively police Namecheap customers for this, Namecheap should lose all its business as a result. Let Namecheap decide whether the income from Israel exceeds the income from all Namecheap customers.

I'd only use Cloudflare if I want my website to be held hostage with no possibility to migrate: https://robindev.substack.com/p/cloudflare-took-down-our-web...

You moved from the worst registrar to the second worst registrar. Cloudflare will call you up one day demanding an immediate payment of $150k and holding your domains hostage if you don't comply.
