The license change literally just prevents you from stripping their branding if you have more than 50 users a month - this is more permissive than the MPL that Firefox is licensed under

I use Flutter professionally and really like it

Check them into Git, but be cautious about credentials that might live in the env files that you don’t want to expose if you end up making the repo publicly available.

Martial law lets you arrest people without trial, but it doesn’t directly allow you to just not hold an election, and you can only declare it “unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it”.

I guess you could come up with some pretence then impose martial law and make it clear that anyone voting the wrong way is going to get arrested, but at that point why bother with laws at all?

Actually, reading the language again, I can absolutely see some shenanigans where he runs as VP for someone else who runs on a platform of “vote for me and I’ll immediately resign and put Trump in charge again”. It’d need the supreme court to decide if that “and” is exclusive or not, and given that half the court seems pretty happy to give up their principles of it suits their politics, I wouldn’t be surprised if that worked

If I had to put money on it, I’d guess they contest the legitimacy of the next election, and he just refuses to step down - can only be elected twice, but he’s just there as a care taker until a proper election can happen

Theoretically the contents of these lots would be insured, so if there was a sudden unexpected fire that happened to destroy all the cars Tesla gets a cash payout, unlike if they just sit there where Tesla has to take the cashflow hit of having paid to build cars that noone will buy

Please tell me they struck a deal with Zack

init crashed because it couldn’t load a shared library, but init isn’t allowed to be killed so the kernel panicked

It’s extremely 2020s brainworms that there are two different proprietary standards for device trackers, and licensing constraints forbid a device from supporting both.

Oh totally, if you are playing by the rules then this can’t happen.

What happens if the GOP appoints him as their candidate in 4 years time? Presumably someone asks the supreme court to weigh in, but given it’s current make up, what happens if they say “yeah sure, because democrats are The Enemy” or something?

It’s just people, breaking the rules is always an option. Rules and laws only work if they are enforceable - and at the end of the day, who would be enforcing that he can’t run? The military? State militias?

Kinda says a lot about the US military that a supposedly well trained soldier - green berets are supposed to be fairly elite right? - couldn’t figure out how to build a bomb beyond just stuffing a car with whatever random flammables they could find

That’s probably an impossible task - getting enough people who are experts in every possible field enough to judge novelty and innovativeness wouldn’t be feasible.

An alternative is the way the Dutch assess patents - they don’t, and grant them automatically on filing, but that means you remove the assumption that they are valid on their face if they get challenged

Unfortunately, the way patent suits work it could be enormously expensive to defend something like this, even when the patent is clearly bad.

You’d be arguing that the patent is invalid to start with, but the court would probably start from the position that you are actually infringing a valid patent (it was granted after all), and grant an injunction to prevent further harm (“stop giving people the software until we can work out if there is any merit to your claim that you aren’t infringing”). You then need to put together a case to show the prior art, and you can bet that they’d contest every single point. This whole process could take years, and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars that you won’t get back even if you win - there isn’t really a provision to recover costs in patent cases because there is the assumption that every claim is made in good faith

I learnt a ton about Linux by fucking up my boot config and being too stubborn to just nuke and pave

At some point every professional computer person - programmer, sysadmin, whatever - will seriously consider piling all their computers into a big pile, lighting them on fire, and moving to the country to start a new life making things with their hands

Don’t know about US law, but where I live we have a “Preventative Detention Order” - the threshold for it is very high, but it essentially works as a sentence of “until rehabilitated”, you are incarcerated until the court decides that you are no longer a threat to the community, even in cases where a life without parole sentence wouldn’t be possible. In a world where I am supreme ruler, it’d automatically apply in cases where someone who has a conviction for a violent crime commits another violent crime.

Also, how the hell does an 8 year old get a gun? Surely whoever failed to secure it - or even worse gave it to a minor - would be looking at an accessory change?

Running web services on a device that hasn’t seen a security patch in 3 years seems like a bad idea.

Also, unless you can mount a real hard drive, you are going to very quickly run into I/O bandwidth issues and flash longevity limits

Kubernetes is awesome for self hosting, but tbh is superpower isn’t multi-node/scalability/clustering shenanigans, it’s that because every bit of configuration is just an object in the API, you can really easily version control everything - charts and config in git, tools like Helm make applying changes super easy, use Renovate to do automatic updates, use your CI tool of choice to deploy on commit, leverage your hobby into a DevOps role, profit
