> They seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding in that they (apparently) believe their problem in the market is price when it's actually something much more basic: trust.
Trust is not the issue. Google wants to sell "management" while AWS (et al) are selling raw resources. To use Google Cloud you have to change or build your system for it, using new APIs, configuration systems, other managed services and even programming languages. Todays announcement was: you can have raw VM control with our management too! I don't see it being any easier now (even MORE options!) but I think they're on the right track. They need to make it simpler rather than cheaper.
Ximarin exposed native phone options in C#. They didn't make a compatibility layer to ease development. As you said, build your UI twice, then get native tools to compile. Now with Windows Phone we'll either have three UIs to build, or a generic abstraction layer (that Apple will reject.)
Unity would have to fork Mono, as would Gnome and Canonical and Redhat, etc... The comments here seem very trusting of Microsoft. If it was Oracle a fork would be a given.
Yes, for the same reasons that Credit Unions are better than Banks. Watching out for the customer, in a principled way, is a great selling point. But it would also need to be stable, for the long term, which means profitable and large enough to survive the bad times.
DNS + simple hosting + support, is an ideal market for a non-profit focused on free speech and democratic participation.
Use the website the college has provided. This isn't about your convenience or technical judgement (about a system you don't maintain). It's about the students and the rest of the college.
That said, encrypt the each grade with a key derived from the students ID (which is privileged information) and make a webpage to do the decryption for the students. SHA256 ( ID + Salt ) == Key for symmetric encryption.
Distributions include src packages separate from compiled code, so why couldn't the Apple Store (or any store) do that? This isn't a legal issue; Google allows GPL code on it's app store.
Interesting that this type of story has the opposite effect from old to new media. In the past only one side of the story would be promoted, no discussion. Now this type story commonly appears in discussions as a foil or straw-man, with facts and reasoning that clearly show the opposing view is right.
This has been asked and answered many ways over the last decade: large wealthy companies are protected, individual TOR users are not. If you doubt this, consider which group operates in the open and which pins its hopes on anonymity and not getting caught.
Or just a single transaction with synchronous_commit!
> Specifies whether transaction commit will wait for WAL records to be written to disk before the command returns a "success" indication to the client.
> This parameter can be changed at any time; the behavior for any one transaction is determined by the setting in effect when it commits.
It's less informative to say 'Power is its own end' than to explain why people try to acquire power, what they do with it, and what they do to keep it. Since we're doing quotes:
"As if giving grounds did not come to an end sometime. But the end is not an ungrounded presupposition: it is an ungrounded way of acting."
Themes should be a collection of template/css/whatever files that can be unzipped to the right location and used by Hugo. That would need standards for the file types and directory structure, config settings for which themes to use, or which parts of the theme to use.
I was thinking about a WordPress replacement in Golang. WordPress themes can be zipped and shared as a bundle, which has made a large variety of themes freely available.
We should add query parameters onto RSS requests, and gradually upgrade while remaining backwards compatible. Create clients and server features that are compelling enough, and people will update their server code.
