That picture is a couple of years old, from when the plan was to make every component swappable. Today's announcement is a significant departure from this philosophy.
Saying BSD-style licenses are "truly free" and the GPL isn't is like saying that you're only truly free if you have the right to use a gun to hold others captive. The ability to revoke freedoms from others does not make one more free in any logical sense.
I realise you were speaking with disdain (which I agree with), but to give a serious answer to the question, there's a Computerphile video that explains it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
I remember doing this in SimCity 2000. The downside was that every once in a while the sattelite would stray from its intended target and vapoirse some random building near the receiver....
It's still in the tag of the main page, it just gets replaced by an article count in some javascript. Take a look at the source, or reload the front page keeping an eye on the title bar of your browser.
Though I agree it should be on the page too...
In OK with this, especially since the major difference between the two is that Musk is actually innovating, instead of just making great packaging and hype.
Unless you were, say, in/etc, this wouldn't really do much harm. The only file containing a . in my / is initrd.img, which even if it weren't a symlink, is easy to to regenerate.
It would be amazing if he added a share-alike clause to licensing these patents. That is to say, make it free to use any of Tesla's patents, under the condition that you provide the same free access, under the same conditions, to any technology your company develops as a derivitave.
They could also theoretically be required to update the extension to a backdoored version; on a mass scale it would probably be noticed, but if done in an individual, targeted basis, it could probably pass unseen. Even that is a step in the right direction though; the problem with mass surveilence is that it is just that, en masse; if it's forced down to individual persons of interest, well, then that's definitely a good thing.
If it's an implementation of OpenPGP, then the algorithms are very trustworthy and have been vetted repeteatedly over the long term. Since it's a Chrome extension, it will be written in Javascript, so the source should be available to verify. It will also be intercompatible with every other OpenPGP implementation, and if those are backdoored, we're all doomed anyway.
The only reasonable attack vector an entity like the NSA would have (assuming the extension audits clean) would be to force google to update it to a corrupted version, which they presumably could have the power to do en masse or for individual users. I doubt that would go unnoticed for long though. And if it leads to a dramatic uptick in the adoption of secure email, IMO it's worth the risk.

That was the plan until today's announcement...

So does this mean the screen isn't replaceable? Swapping a broken screen was the biggest sell of the whole modular phone idea for me...

About 80% of my coworkers use iOS devices. I could have a great deal of fun with this...

Aren't most windows clear?
Now all we need is a manwich.
The size of deficit is not terribly useful without knowing the size of the stock available. How much is there sitting around to be eaten?

The fact that it would give them credibility by immediately doubling their user base?
If there is research to do regarding what service to choose, how does comcast have a monopoly?
If you want an open source "something like btsync," check out Syncthing.

This is why I constantly fear for my life and don't ever go out after dark in the multicultural hell hole of violence and degeneracy that is Canada.

That's kind of the point of this extension...

So is this Apple's answer to Vegemite? Definitely a bold move from Mr. Cook.
Do you have any doubt that it will be counted as both?
So I need to go back to lugging my safe around?
In the computer dev context, I thought it might have meant breaking/deleting/shttuing off their development environments/computers.
