It's all coming to a head.
Individual developers just can't do it anymore. They didn't build that library. They can't deal with the combinatorial explosion over time of code in the wild.
We're just going to have to hire more bureaucrats to dance around the issue, throwing acronyms on PowerPoint slides at the problem.
Higher level code, called 'legislation', in the language called 'English' will be delivered by the ream.
This write-only code will trigger paralysis in all who read it, and, eventually, the economy the readers inhabit. Legislation is become the destroyer of worlds, and a right jolly virus indeed!
After you collapse the economy, the problem of developers installing software enters a self-solving stage.
You're welcome.
I'm sure that, for the proper amount of cash, Twitter will do your bidding.
Free services are swell, but whining when you're getting what you pay for seems specious.
Mann, Hanson, Gore, et al. have squandered a resource more precious than the environment they claim to be saving.
As with most conservatives, I stand ready to conserve nature. Trees, parks, and wildlife are great.
But these chaps who aren't publishing code, data, or models, especially where taxpayer dollars have been funding their research, leave something to be desired.
Oh, get bent. Fair has a perfectly non-moral usage in economics.
By which I mean, one can have a rational discussion about the ethics of this or that business practice without veering into the moral territory of whether you're going to hell because you sell on Sundays.
So, before you cheer this as a victory for the consumer, think about the bigger picture and imagine what would happen if your company was forced to operate on razor thin margins. How much would you be cheering?
Capitalism is to economics as natural selection is to Darwinism.
Would you contend that people should do something un-natural?

And your willingness to attach your name to your reply stands as a bold refutation.

Calling me a liar, Your Anonymity, doesn't remove the challenge to start at square one and restore credibility before proceeding.

Seriously: great project. As I'm connected using a Galaxy S 2 in hotspot mode as I write this, I may need to have a go at this project.
Poor old Uncle Choo-Choo. No love on /. for that radioactive tool.
Are you saying that, without God, there cannot be fairness?
A novel theological argument, that.
How do you figure? Unless you're preaching your religion economically, e.g. sharia.
Hell if I know?

It's called Air AC:
1. Get license, plane, hangar.
2. ???
3. Profit!
And if they need BFD power, they can release the Biden.
Uhhh. . .so, when regulation has accomplished destruction of fair, natural markets, and everything collapses into the regulator, then what?
Classic!
Uhhh. . .you're implying that man somehow stepped outside the scope of nature?
Uhhh. . .medicine isn't the human leveraging another aspect of natural selection against the virus?
Uhhh. . .'monopolost' implies 'unfair'?
Uhhh. . .in a fair market, cheaper competitors emerge?
Sure, and I would be unsurprised when they gaffed me off and continued mowing down.
Your assertion of rationality does not comport with history.
Capitalism is to economics as natural selection is to Darwinism.
