Somebody at Dice.com probably still has satoshi's IP logs.

Django also needs to pin a default Postgres container image, and default NGINX image. The default stack should be extensively end-to end tested and optimized, including an optional patched kernel, cgroup2 settings, and untrusted nsjail worker process for handling media files.

It was in response to my motion for injunction in Apple's racketeering case for bribing the City of Waukee $100m to abate $177m. I pointed out they were spying on Judges' iOS devices and iCloud accounts - Judges don't like to be spied on.

Injunction on Apple filed today in my racketeering action CVCV043016 District Court for Dallas County Iowa on behalf of major shareholder Iowa Public Employee Retiree System. The last thing shareholders need is erosion of equity via a massive NLRA lawsuit.

He sold zero IBM System Z mainframes to AWS.

He let thousands of IBM point of sale systems to be replaced with crap that can't buffer keystrokes - instead of modernizing the SDKs for those who know Linux and not AIX.

He bought RedHat, but not Digital Ocean so they had a cloud consumers trust.

He didn't win a serious contract with Facebook for kernel tuning. He didn't win a serious contract with AWS for AWS Linux 3.

He let COBOL and APL continue to die instead of funding modern tooling.

This is in line with State tax credits on large data centers. At least a credit wouldn't favor Intel over AMD. Companies like Tesla, Deere, Ford would abuse the credit shifting as much cost as they can on their unit that manufactures and tests boards.

I'm worried about screen reader compatibility. FAANG should push to support Lynx text browsing for blind users - and our bandwidth.

Ever since WebAssembly was first introduced, I thought it was obvious[1][2] that the end game for those that want to control the web is sending opaque binary blobs of code that only use the browser for the canvas tag's framebuffer. Font rendering and layout can all easily be accomplished by embedding libraries like freetype. This breaks all forms of user control - like ad blockers - and turns the web back into cable TV.

I didn't expect the first move towards canvas-only rendering to be traditional wordprocessors. As usual, this is merely the first step. Once the tech has been normalized by developers, transitioning regular webpages will be a fait accompli.

JS minification is old hat, and welcome to shrink binaries.

Google for security reasons should probably release the source. Most security types welcome web-assembly over JS since there will be more Rust etc.
