Yeah, we've had a McVegan (actual name) in Sweden and Finland since 2017: https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaelpellmanrowland/2017/10/1...

Yes, AGPL is crazy, never get close to it and if you do, then be prepared to take the consequences.

(To be fair though, in this case AGPL and GPL would function the same)

One could imagine that Amazon with their size could actually do a big serious launch in Sweden.

Instead they pick the wrong flag, translates stuff incredibly awkwardly and leaves out many of their own key offers like Alexa and Prime.

Closest I can come to think of is the Maltese Falcon, but it doesn’t have solid wings, but still pretty unconventional in similar ways: https://www.marineinsight.com/boating-yachting/maltese-falco...

I guess this is just Netflix trying to be the Google of streaming services?

I would very much want a way to toggle scroll bars on and of within the browser, eg a Toolbar button that I can add through an extension.

The fact that I can only toggle it at an OS level is pretty bad. I love the invisible scroll bars and I would prefer to have them in all apps I use myself, but I do respect the platforms and users who have visible ones, but I shouldn’t have to choose between my own user experience and testing for their user experience

To be fair: If they would use a cheap Chromebook, then the outcome in this case wouldn’t be any different

At least, this time Adobe only deleted their own files, unlike in 2016 where they on MacOS deleted files owned by others: http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-35577498

This is really bad advice.

If nothing else, you do want to get the security updates that are released.

In general: Update but if possible, don’t be the first one to update to a new version, wait for a day or two

No, but they are much more complicated and their size are determined by many more factors, so discussing whether they should be powerful or not is an entirely different conversation

States are what states are, it’s more complicated when it comes to sizes there as it has to do with territory, democracy etc.

So I didn’t try to relate companies to states, I just wanted to exclude the states from the discussion altogether.

That separation exists in Sweden as well. The parliament makes the laws while the government is the executive branch.

But yeah, slightly different as its our prime minister who sets up the government, the parliament who picks the prime minister and the people who elects the parliament – through proportional representation.

The ban on ministerial rule is an additional separation on top of the one you mention – a separation within the executive branch, that even further avoids opportunities for eg. corruption. (And confuses foreign leaders who are unfamiliar with it)

These records sure doesn’t play in their favor when it comes to investigations of being harmful to the competitive environment.

One could ask the questions:

Should any single (non-state?) entity be this large?

Is it overall better to have innovation and production concentrated like this or would society benefit from increased plurality?

I don’t know, but numbers like these sure makes me wonder

As a Swede it feels so weird to read about eg. Trump meddling in such details in affairs like this.

In Sweden ministerial rule is outlawed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ministerial_governance

Our prime minister would not be allowed to have an opinion on any specific case like this, he would rather have to have opinions on the overall legal framework or such instead and leave the interpretation and application of the legal framework to the appropriate agencies.

To me that feels like the right way to go about things like this.

I agree, it's very much a work that is done together. If EU considers the deal hurt competition, then Google might still be able to buy Fitbit if they take measures that ensure competition is still healthy, so very good if one admits to that and are eager to find a way forward rather than the classic Uber-response "Everyone but us are stupid, it's our way or the highway"

The Servo project is the only one built from scratch to do this a d some of its parts has been retrofitted to Firefox to enhance some parts there, but to fully move to multi-threadedness would mean that Firefox would have to do a complete switch to Servo and I don’t think Servo is ready for that.

Agree. They could though do a classic dual license with an open version being some kind of AGPL or similar a strict copyleft license and the closed proprietary version be one without copyleft restrictions.

This would be good to promote and “test” ones progressive enhancement and/or graceful degradation.

Usually that is tested by using some older version of one of the major browsers, often IE11, but would be great to have a more well defined subset to target.

Paying for a bookmark archive should be considered a feature, an archive with no sustainable business model is less of an archive and more like a black hole.

Partly because of that I also subscribe to Pinboards optional archiving of the actual pages bookmarked, so that even if they disappear from the internet I still have a copy from the day I bookmarked it.

Here’s a 3-cylinder SUV from that other Swedish car manufacturer: https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/volvo-adds-t3-th...

Also, the first Freevalve engine to be put presented in a car was in a normal sedan from a Chinese manufacturer: https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1107384_1-6-liter-camles...

Introduction session from last years WWDC: https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2019/706/

For that Apple already has Game Center, and Sign In with Apple is no social network, so it by itself could not replace anything like that

That just describes how precise of a value between 0 and 100% for each Red, Green and Blue channel you can define, it doesn’t change what Red, Green and Blue a 100% actually represents.

The color profile defines what your definition actually represents and translates your 0-100% value to an actual color on the display.

If someone needs to read up on color profiles: https://bjango.com/articles/colourmanagementgamut/

Eg. important to configure ones design tools like Sketch and Photoshop correctly so that it interprets RGB values as intended rather than just in the current color profile

I would say it's "bad", but "dead" isn't the right term for me in that case

Closest I can think of is efforts like https://jerryscript.net/ and https://duktape.org/ – but the challenge isn't in the language itself really, but in the web API:s that gets added to it.

Eg. Node.js doesn't have WebUSB either :)

And here's a PR for adding that to CanIUse: https://github.com/Fyrd/caniuse/pull/5262

That's not a good way to handle it, harmful to the web :/

Not just an interpreter – unless there's a standardized subset that one can look for as a web developer then one can't really adopt to it (through either graceful degradation or progressive enhancement). Same reason why eg. Noscript addons creates havoc at times. Web sites expects a certain baseline and when it's not there, they expect that javascript will be disabled altogether and <noscript>-tags to get executed, but just disabling some code prohibits that fallback, making it less usable than fully disabling js.
