Do you think the OSD is law or something?

Open source means the source is available. Anything else is just political.
I've seen him recently and those are not his usual fare: https://www.bobdylan.com/setlists/
He played a couple of his most well-known songs, a few off his recent albums, and one or two I didn't know. It was not 1950s covers...
> correlation does not imply causation
correlation CAN imply causation. You missed a word making what you said completely wrong.
Do you think cash transactions don't have even more detailed ledgers? The "tried and true fiat" has been used to catch criminals for centuries because banks keep very detailed records of withdraws and deposits.
> You are just repeating
You are just repeating. Obviously both are being used for crime
I swear sometimes people only exist to look for flaws in studies they didn't read.
It is a market that exists in the free market.
> And an unfree one ruled by a dictatorship that you can't vote on.
Ok, so don't use that market. You're not entitled to Facebook, or being able to dictate anything.
> That's what platforms are. They're markets. Its not like making a couch or something.
Bud, I am begging you to close your Facebook account and see it is exactly like a couch you don't have to buy.
> It doesn't matter if the other apps are super amazing and they walk your dog and suck your dick and make you live forever. Literally does not matter.
You heard it here. YC is dead. Close up shop. All these investors just wasting their money because you can't vote Zuck out.
> The app, itself, does not matter. Which is why Facebook is allowed to be as shit as humanly possible.
This is just nonsense. You're trying to sound smart by taking an extreme position. Nuance is smart.
Can you show me the federal code that includes number of customers?
Do you think monopoly rules are about size or behavior? Do you think a small mom and pop store couldn't act in monopolistic practices?
Do you think a small mom and pop store in a rural captured market couldn't price fix?
Hint: It's not size :)
Absolutely nothing stopping you from starting a social network
> But that ship sailed LONG ago.
I'm pretty sure there are hundreds? thousands? of startups ready to launch that all do some variant of FB.
Why are you on YC if you think free market tech is dead?
> But that doesn't mean the same rules and laws applies - or should apply - to one with 1B users as one with 100 users.
lol, what? We have different laws depending on how popular you are? What are the thresholds for when new laws apply? Is it strictly user count? Engagement time? Revenue?
Innovation may be dead in Europe but don't try to bring this nonsense elsewhere.
Fixed it for you.
It's the correct take. Facebook had 800M users on the day Messenger was released.
> I would argue that people are in the app because Facebook gave out Facebook Messenger
Why would you argue a nonsense point? Literally all you have to do is Google "when was messenger released" and "number of facebook users in August 2011"
Unless you think those 800M users were just waiting for a shitty messenger?
Please for the love of god do not make legal requirements about how to build an app and what features can be included.
> We need to be able to message our friends without seeing a feed without having to convert all of our friends to a new platform.
lol, you have no legal right to how a chat dialog must be presented.
Why don't you try innovating instead of suing?
> I am allowed to send any traffic I wish to public-facing hosts
No you're not. Denial of service is a federal crime.
> I have no responsibility to refrain
Yes you do, and this is just beyond silly. The nuance of how you obtained it will be decided in a court. Stop making everything so reductionist and lazy.
> The only traffic I am not permitted to send are credentials I am not authorized to use
Absolutely not. Use of a vulnerability to cause a data breach is OBVIOUSLY a federal crime.
This is beyond absurd.
There is no law for "white-hat hackers". You don't get to break into a system because the color of your hat.
"White-hat hackers" have contracts, or very specific rules of engagement. Having run many a bug bounty, if someone was malicious, we would absolutely work to prosecute.
You can also find bugs in software freely, as long as you don't obtain unauthorized access to other people's systems.
Unlocked doors, open windows, any lack of security doesn't give you permission to enter. Just as "incrementing a GET request" doesn't mean anything outside of the intent.
The intent was to do damage.
Enough to make it worth it to switch, but not so much that it's hard to switch
> often iteration is better and cheaper
Fortunately React has had major changes over its lifetime that iterating with React was/is the better and cheaper solution.
You don't need Paypal to use Bitcoin, but there's nothing in the spec that prohibits it.
No
> or do you believe that it's impossible for any animal whatsoever to have a long lifespan
Let's pick an arbitrary timeframe and declare that as long
No, I don't think anything is impossible when you pick dates "for the sake of argument"
It's because you didn't understand it
> 'how can a cancer cell live indefinitely but other cells cannot'
Cancer cells are damaged cells mutating without regard for function. It's pretty obvious that there is a difference between "living indefinitely in a mutated form devoid of original function" is different from a cell performing a specific function
What does this have to do with a soul? The comment was about people treating life extension as a religion based on faith more than evidence.
Nothing to do with the soul, or heaven, or anything else.
> The kids in my community are being taught age-appropriate, consent-based sex ed, and the availability of free, high-quality sex ed is improving.
This has been the case in blue states for decades. I had proper sex-ed in the 90s.
Depending on the question, it still can't.
It's kinda crazy how you view repeating probabilistic outputs as "coherent sentences".
> We've come a long way, what makes you think it won't go further?
Where did I say it won't go further? I said it will never produce what they want.
Those are different things.
Regardless, you're focused on the wrong point.
