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.

Every technology has negatives that companies try to turn into externalities. The ones that hurt their non-customers are the most egregious and should be subject to the highest corrections. Hardly a new theory.

To give an example, we should be paying more for many electronics as the result of suits against most existing companies for not dealing with Tantalum sourcing.

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.

Fujitsu was interested, US threatened to block any foreign sale. IBM was interested, a loud mouth blocked negotiations and pushed his golf buddy instead..

Sun made some strange moves toward the end, but there absolutely could have been a product line left if the developer market felt neutral about the buyer and the buyer tried to focus on upsells and professional services. The way Oracle tried to sneak this EOL in is very much evidence of there still being support licenses and professional services money for a few years more.

But it was worth it if the Sun curse took down Ellison. May your foot never leave your mouth again, cloud boy. Now go play golf with network's owner.

The politics and social Dynamics in the US seem completely wrong for growth that I would consider positive in most regions. There is instead a lot of low density strip mall style growth and the resulting structures and density will largely be protected from reexamination due to risk of losing grandfathered building rights.

I would be interested to know which cities are consolidating high density areas while growing such that they will have a Manhattan.

Could you bribe someone to avoid imprisonment for trial in US courts for health or safety reasons?

I don't think the DOJ will necessarily honor that unless you have some kind of health condition and evidence the foreign court is refusing to hear about it.. I don't think anyone in the cases I referenced made medical arguments before bribing officials.

Exactly, and the defense claimed they handled the goods and put them back with the video being cut to simply imply they never were put back..

If you can claim duress in this case, then can you not bribe authorities in every case of being arrested and awaiting trial? Do you need to file paperwork to claim this duress, might another country acquire this paperwork before you flee? AFAIK, it is all a minefield as the higher post claims.

Yes, what could possibly go wrong if an official doesn't respect the fact that you can't bribe them, pay their "official" fee, or hire a consultant from a very short list of "approved" consultants?

Anyone who hasn't chosen to spend years in jail when they were a victim of the airport mall shoplifter scam is an example of someone who has violated the FCPA.

Network virtualization was barely integrated before Indiana got cut off.. Only Oracle has the infrastructure and customers necessary to find and fix the less obvious bugs there.. But I wouldn't use code owned by Oracle.

Porting what is good into BSDs is really a better idea than trying to keep anything Solaris based going. There are people I respect that I wish would realize that, but I don't think it would be fruitful if they heard it from me..
