Yeah but those systems shouldn't be connected to the open internet at all. Even if you don't want to airgap them, they should be behind a network topology that prevents them from connecting out freely, or accepting random connections inward.

It's a race to find which will happen first, IPv6 or Linux on the Desktop. Both are coming.

Except this wouldn't actually solve this. You'd be able to share the business logic, which would be a benefit. But you wouldn't be able to share any of the UI, system, or OS interaction code which is where all the incompatibilities come. If you just wanted to share business logic, there were already ways you could do that (write it in C would be one way).

Also, if they really wanted to do that, they should consider going the opposite way and bringing Kotlin to Swift. Kotlin also has a significant server side use that's growing (mainly by replacing Java), Swift is iOS and Mac only. They'll find a lot more people willing to learn Kotlin than Swift. Of course Apple won't consider that due to NIH and control issues.

I like the idea of micropayments, but I hate that Google is the one doing it because they have become evil.

The only reason they are able to push this at all is because of their monopolistic negotiating power in the ad industry.

Wow amazing, that was also my experience when I was working as a CEO of a fortune 50 executive at a publicly traded company!

I got better.

That is not what this verdict says, you should at least read the summary.

You should really not base your opinion on a case where the judge explicitly said that the verdict is not a precedent of any kind.

Yeah, but then Stan Lee wouldn't have made any money from the Avengers movies.

Humans and machines are not treated the same under copyright law. They are different, and the law treats them differently.

China has a five year plan to be a robot powerhouse by 2025, so if you want funding for your research, put the word "robots" in it. Even if the robots are just magnetic particles with copper. Researchers do similar things to get funding in America.

I appreciate that you are an outsider, but you should admit you are in no way impartial.

Kind of amazing that we're finally getting gaming on Linux. I didn't expect this to happen (Wine often works but is hacky)

It's the kind of thing antivaxxers complain about with regards to vaccines, no one has done a study to determine how the covid vaccine affects people over multiple generations or something like that. No one says that about oral medicine.

In this video, they seem to be able to handle corners alright. It's a slightly ugly solution, but you don't need to drill through walls.

Your friend could probably do this. It's kind of a janky solution, but you don't need conduit.
