The evidence is that VideoLAN still exists months after getting banned by Unity. If they "depended" on Unity they'd be bust by now.

Unless you actually have several machines spread around the globe, you're not building a "global" CDN.

OP claimed that pwsh was started because it was new and shiny and would lead to a quicker promotion than working on cmd. Turns out that the guy who created pwsh didn't get promoted, but actually demoted. If you can't understand that demotion is the opposite of promotion, well...

That's literally the opposite of what the OP claims, then.

> That's literally the explanation for PowerShell. Many of us wanted to improve cmd.exe, but couldn't.

I stopped reading here. (Not really, I read the rest, but I could have.)

Powershell is a fundamentally new thing that's miles ahead of its competitors. They couldn't have gotten there by just improving cmd incrementally. If the authors confuses boldness with being carefree about maintenance, that's on them.

In Europe they just bring the handheld payment terminal to your table...

Step 1. Go to google news or whatever news aggregation website you want.

Step 2. Search for "transgender attack".

Step 3. Take some time to digest the horrible news you're reading.

Step 4. Try to figure out the common thread between these stories. The people in question usually get outed in public during some kind of ID check, and got jumped by some intolerant moron who witnessed it.

This is happening. Today. Including in "North America and Europe". The people who say they feel unsafe because they feel unsafe for their physical integrity and safety. Not because of "awkwardness or very minor psychological discomfort".

You should read more carefully. GP wrote "minor psychological discomfort". They're definitely trying to downplay the danger that transgender people sometimes get put in.

I specifically took the example of a (physical) $10 bill. You can definitely tell apart two different $10 bills. They have serial numbers, for example. They're different physical objects.

You watch too many action movies.

How would this help that hypothetical person in any way? If the coins are stolen, then the victim will want the money back. They won't care if the "same" coins are given back or not. Money is fungible. If someone steals a $10 bill from you and burns it, are you going to forsake your claim to $10? I bet you'd even be happy to get two $5 bills back rather than nothing.

"Forcing"? Are they holding a gun to the devs' heads and "forcing" them to implement safety circumvention features? I doubt it.

They're just following orders, is that it?
