Clickbait title. Nowhere in the video does he say anything about apple, or even disk encryption.

Starting with oracle hopefully. (Un)fortunately (and IANAL) I don't think copyrights are enforceable if you don't enforce them everytime you know of a violation.

>Still both the Soviet Union and China have turned into far more humane societies during socialism than they were at any earlier times

What do you mean be this? Surely modern != humane

Interesting that one of the touted benefits of content blockers in apple marketing was that content blockers can't track history.

I suspect Kazakhstan doenst have the resources to mount attacks against tor unless they can pay some western company to do it for them. Blocking it is a somewhat different matter.

I don't think this is entirely correct, I think there might be some disagreement in Islam as to whether interest is actually forbidden

Most of the (non-systems programming, which use C) classes offered at my university are in Java but a few of them are taught in O'Caml (The programming language and compiler ones).

I actually know very little about the LLVM, so the article had me almost confused for a second until I confirmed that the LLVM is just a compiler as I thought.

Ignoring the issues with his analysis of google and apple being brought together by the LLVM, which has its own issues, this is a really horrible article.

And the android NDK uses the gcc.

I agree about the ISC, that's why OpenBSD, the most free OS (as in you can do whatever you want with a larger percentage of it than any other OS), prefers using the ISC over the BSD license now.

Did anyone notice the line:

What if it will become illegal to sell consumer devices without signature checks for all software running on it.

I find it pretty weird that he's complaining that any country foolish enough to enact such a draconian law would also criminalize all gplv3 software. I personally think the gplv3 would be wonderful in this case since it would create a high cost for enacting such an evil law.

When I heard of snapchat I spent two seconds figuring out that turning off your data connection after receiving the photo allows you take as many screenshots/view the picture as many times as you want (I have no idea if this still works).
