How does this deal with proxy loops?

As an example, I would assume worker is making requests with the internal view of the site, but can not have an internal view of other sites or security problems would ensue.. So what happens when two of my sites have service workers fetching something from each other on each request?

The people who buy stolen goods also get more value then they spend, so all thieves are inherently good?

Some companies produce more good than bad. Some companies produce more bad than good, but the bad is primarily not affecting their customers. The latter is inherently easier which is why civil courts must be eternally vigilant.

This is the kind of attitude that disturbs me about recent journalism and what appears to be the dominant opinion in the US.

Getting quantitative results is entirely useless if you don't want to think about the subjective qualitative reasons we thought some arbitrary metric might matter and how they might be limited. Having a high GDP or salary is about raising your quality of life and options. If you are actively prevented from living all sorts of other lives simply because they are not as profitable then you are poorer than the wild man.

So I can create antisocial companies that hurt more than they help and take/distribute profits until damning evidence is assembled using public resources, then pay back a small portion from whatever I couldn't get off my book value?

I'd say that's giving organizations rights in civil matters that only are supposed to apply to individuals in criminal ones. The end result is thousands of companies actively trying to kill us and manipulate evidence and politics for much higher profits than the ones doing net positive work.

If I make a device that lets half of society sit on its ass for 100 years then murders everyone, I think the costs should be factored in by sueing me before everyone is dead. But maybe that's just me.

Then other holdings of Bain sold "Toys R Us" goods and services and were perhaps sold after a good quarter?

I see your point. I'm just trying to point out that failures of general tech to emerge are quite different than failures of use cases. You need more of a limit preventing the emergence of a Moore's law on entanglements to really make quantum computing go away and not just solve other problems than those originally assumed to be "easy" and months away.

Flying cars not existing has everything to do with the resources they use (public federally controlled airspace which requires every driver to be a pilot.)

Quantum computers have the same barriers as other private space technology. The question to me is how long they will take to go from research toys to hobby toys which has a lot to do with cost and something to do with consumer safety.

A community that hasn't established a semaphore for updating the code isn't a community. It is hard to build that with consensus instead of input from its creator.

The nature of what succeeds in opensource has everything to do with whether the creator puts community work in themselves, nominates someone, or just publishes read-only code.

Naturally, anyone is free to do whatever they like.. but most people seem to expect a result from their actions and publishing pure code is rarely going to have any result.

It's really about blasting advertising and hiring good enough cheap. The engineers with a network will know not to go through your process and would expect a salary appropriate to the job, the ones that developed a lot of skills on their own with no network (or afraid of honest discussions with peers where they might not be the best) will settle for what they are offered.

When I look at who from my network (or really missing from my network) is at the places with these tactics.. Losing time and failing to get the job is not the worst outcome.

File stream is a Kernel module reimplementing NFS or Samba? Or they are killing standard FS access achieved via Rsync and are trying to position a webapp bundled in chrome its place?

Interesting article, but I don't really agree with their conclusions. I think social networks are legacy from first engaging people on the real web and have a fate similar to AOL.

Experiments in decentralized social are more of a test run of components for "subversive" networks that will eventually engage the global youth politically on tor rather than compete with fb for grandparents sharing photos and recipes or Myspace as a MP3 storage space for forty somethings with bands.

Ellison bought sun then disparaged cloud and killed Sun's cloud ventures only to watch Microsoft recover on selling cloud to a market that no longer wants proprietary desktops..

I was very negative on Sun, but looking at Microsoft fill the gap eventually, I have to assume IBM would have made me eat my shoe if they got the deal instead of Oracle.
