Off the top of my head, I know there's more than one ;)

My understanding is that a parody has to actually parody the original work. There's a distinction between "parodying" and "using the songwriting with different lyrics". You see a lot of people doing riffs on "What a Wonderful World" and getting shut down by the Louis Armstrong estate, e.g.

Decent physicians recommend exercise among other preventative measures to reduce the likelihood of emergencies.

Therapists will likewise encourage you to build up resilience so that "a relationship ended" is not a crisis, and also build support networks of real people who can really come visit you when you need urgent support.

There are also, of course, crisis hotlines.


A Shopify monopoly (and thus a shopify payments monopoly) would be very rough for a number of reasons

>Jamstack is an architectural approach that decouples the web experience layer from data and business logic, improving flexibility, scalability, performance, and maintainability.

>Jamstack removes the need for business logic to dictate the web experience.

>It enables a composable architecture for the web where custom logic and 3rd party services are consumed through APIs.

How far into this front page blurb do you think the average non-dev would get before they realize this is supposed to be a thing they can use in place of WordPress?

You have already lost the "normal people" audience


Accounting is generally both easier to do correctly and easier to verify than security practices, unfortunately

We're talking about reporting breaches, not giving yourself some sort of abstract security score

And how do you know if you have been breached if you (negligently, in my opinion) have no audit logging, multiple principals sharing the same account, and no anomaly tracking? Does a breach only happen if the attacker brags openly about it?

The difference with accounting is that, relatively speaking and certainly within this context, few businesses are cash businesses. Your bank is keeping at least a basic audit log of money coming in and out of the corporate bank account. Your payment processor is keeping at least a basic audit log of who paid you and how much. You won't make your auditors happy if they're the only documents you have, but they're at least something to be handed over in an audit that pretty much every software business will have. Cybersecurity? By default, nothing is collected.


forensic accounting and audits also require a paper trail.

So if you have no logging and such, you will have already failed regulatory reporting standards - just like you would fail an accounting audit if you have no paper trail of where your money went!


"throw away all software written before 2026" does technically solve this problem, if you ignore everything else the article is talking about (deployment and continuity of service)

Not to mention a whole lot of new vulnerabilities are bound to arise with all this new software.

We really just need better regulations around data retention, especially ppi.

Never going to happen though, no incentives exist to NOT sell my personal data


I assume Microsoft would be able to rewrite the monolithic Windows kernel to a microkernel. So far, they haven't but it wouldn't surprise me if they experiment on Azure with a custom microkernel version of Windows.

Linus Torvalds is a strong proponent of monolithic kernels so I don't see him changing his mind.


Make that 2036 or whenever there might be a feasible microkernel available outside of niche applications. Better get started on that. Again.

Throwing away old software is not a requirement, as demonstrated very successfully by Genode and its SculptOS.

IIRC, in many containers embedded subtitles will be interleaved with the video and audio atoms/boxes/packets/etc., and so pulling out the subtitles requires scanning the full file. Not quite as expensive as decoding or re-encoding, but still as slow as "stream the full file into memory and demux the streams"

I'm inferring that "banning skipping commercials" is a restriction on the part of the service provider, not on the part of France's legislature
