They need to ban them from forking the browser. Google has the ability to get people to install the new Google totally-not-chrome browser. Especially if they keep Android as well.

Nothing, he will be dead. Anyone that NSA would bother to use their new and expensive quantum machines on will be an organization that should know better than to be compromised by decades old secrets getting out.

Linus chose to move to the US as well to become a US citizen.

To be fair he never claimed to be an idealist.

Also he is anti Russian himself as he made clear in his first comment in the thread. So being forced to remove them is probably a bonus for him.

At the moment the party with the most blame is the one getting away scot-free, the parents (esp. stepfather) and they are suing somebody else for money and perhaps also to shape the narrative.

It's probably smart, most people are probably not contemplating whether the parents were at any fault for the suicidal tendencies of the child. It's all conveniently blamed on a the moral panic de jour.

Limits on AI should be set by laws and regulations not judicial decisions or even worse a possible settlement.

It's disappointing behavior by Linus. It's understandable that sanctions could force the removal of people just for being Russia.

His reply however shows he personally is in favor of removing people just for being Russian.

I wonder if any of the people who pressured him to take some time off for being a "jerk" will give a shit for this response.

She is a 40 yo lawyer. I doubt that she couldn't afford something more. I find it plausible that she couldn't devote more time to the kid.

You would pay the family that provided him with the means to kill himself?

They actually should be held accountable.

Does Russia invading Ukraine justify the US invading Iraq?

Though we are discussing individuals here, should we ban Americans in projects to maintain moral integrity?

BTW are you referring to historical (pre 1990) expansion as well? Because an American really shouldn't want to go there.

Is this like when Americans blamed Pakistani coders for B737/MCAS debacle only to be proven they implemented Boeing's (fatally flawed) specifications to the letter?

I just read your list and it confirms mine.

Small buffer AND can't skip ahead on a boring video because you can only get served the ads to unlock further video after time equal to the served video duration has passed.

That is not YouTube, it's online TV and there will be an impact on the product. Preloading a video via a 3rd party client will still easily beat this scheme. Just get a headstart equal to the first ad break.

Sure if you fundamentally change what YouTube you can make it work.

You need very small buffers or complete disablement of seeking even outside of ads. Otherwise a client can reconstruct the video without viewer interruption.

People however expect to be able to skip ahead in YouTube videos, otherwise its just TV.
