> that said he may be in violation of a policy not to travel with proprietary info

How is this policy supposed to work? Seems like it would a huge pain point for any sort of travel.

> This only follows if you believe you're under an obligation to use social media.

Were the town residents in Marsh v Alabama, required to inhabit the company town? I think the fact that they did is what made is a public space, regardless of whether they were required to.

Which components on a typical (say Ubuntu 16.04 desktop) are the toolkit and the compositor? GTK and Gnome?

Is it just me or is adding a phone number required to enable other 2FA methods like U2F?

Didn't she include apple in her list of companies she wants to break up?

I know the kernel is not the C language, but I think the efforts being undertaken to harden the kernel (use of syzkaller, etc) provide a good roadmap for C programs in general.

If it still has the latest specs in the small form factor, I for one don't really care how they justify it to the marketing dept.

That doesn't account for the people who like the SE for it's size/weight primarily. The fact that it's much cheaper than the new giant phones is a nice bonus.

It also doesn't take into account people who may be budget conscious now but will have spending power in a few years. Why would apple turn up its nose at that market share?

As an aside I'm glad I'm not the only one having less-than-perfect airpod reception with my SE. My guess is that they just didn't take the airpods required level of connectivity in mind when designing the SE but then decided that it was "good enough" to market as compatible.

Regardless, the airpods work flawlessly indoors and only cut out a bit when walking around the city.

If someone can get a loan, then they should clearly do that instead of using this company. If not, then their options are this company or no education (assuming education costs this much).

Visa and Mastercard do actually charge 30% if you don't pay within 30 days or so. Why is that not equally laughable?

Is it because they provide a service in exchange for that 30%, a service that many people are willing to pay 30% for?

I am not familiar with the legal history you cite but it is intriguing. Are there other antitrust cases that hinged on whether or not two things were their own markets or part of a larger one?

Does Apple even have a majority market share though?

This is good. It's been working with FastMail for months so I'm not sure what the problem was.

I am not a lawyer (and it seems the law may differ significantly between the US and Europe) but I think all companies want to disadvantage their competitors, so whether or not this is illegal really hinges on the definition of artificial.

Why not switch to Android?

Why can't developers sell apps in the Android play store?

Who gets to define the term platform? I think this is just arguing semantics.

It's hard to have much sympathy when you know that this was written by the marketing department of a company with a $30bn market cap.

This looks to me like a blatant attempt to latch on to a perceived popular sentiment that Spotify thinks they can use to to have the government give them a big advantage that they didn't have before.

Call me cynical but it's hard to see this as anything but self serving.

What does it mean to say that something has no side channel attacks? Do you mean no known side channel attacks? If so, doesn't any product with regular security updates meet this criteria? Or have you somehow ruled out the possibility of side channel attacks (which sounds impossible to me, but I am not an expert)

That's fair, but if your stance is that users should be educated to vote with their wallets, then I wonder if you've considered adding a disclaimer on the site saying "Nvidia users don't waste your time, here's why"?

I tried to switch from i3 a few months ago and spent several hours trying to get it to work with my Nvidia card before finding out that the project doesn't support Nvidia for ideological reasons.

I'm not well versed in the details of the conflict, and of course any open source project is not compelled to support anything they don't want to. That being said it would have been nice to know that they have no plans to support a large percentage (majority?) of the consumer, dedicated GPU market.

If/when I am able to get a new AMD card I will certainly try it then.

Do people experience noticeable lag on i3 on modern hardware?

If anyone is interested in a really well written travel essay about how one of those cables was installed in the 90s, this one never seems to get old: https://www.wired.com/1996/12/ffglass/

You only think that's a good idea because you don't believe in flat earth. They could equally put a link to flat earth sites under NASA/SpaceX videos. Do you really want to decree that whatever they link is "true" just because you agree with them in this particular instance?

Saying that you should learn the terminal because a machine may not have Atom or Sublime is sort of saying that an advantage of the terminal is that you don't have to install additional software, isn't it?

I get that email was not originally designed to be secure, but do you really not want to keep your amazon account, with your credit card number and home address, secure and private?

This is a cool idea but the utility really hinges on the quality and quantity of the data. How many companies are represented here, and how do they get on the list? Who decides whether they meet each of the criteria?

What is the kernel-space equivalent of a root shell? presumably you wouldn't try to load your full payload into the kernel space, just try to give yourself root access somehow?

This sounds like a dangerous mindset to get into. If someone believes "I'm the smartest person here and nobody understands me" then I agree leaving right away is the best solution for everyone.
