That is the policy around taxation for everything. The "middle class" always froths with rage everytime the budget is announced over this. Ever since GST has been introduced it has gotten worse as well, with more of the taxes going to the central government. The economic policies here are pretty preposterous.

Sorry but no. I have never had this issue.

Can't say that what you are looking for is common. This is the first time I've heard this requirement bring described.

Librejs started a long while back. I'm no js historian but I reckon things have changed a ton in jsland since then. My guess is that there assumption is that since JavaScript files are just scripts, they contain the source code and therefore all it checks for is is the license.

I don't know at which point things like obfuscation through minification and systems like webpack came along. I'm only theorising but I feel librejs has not been able to keep up with the times.

"This is very bad!" scream analysts from ING, a real estate research institute and Goldman Sachs.

In late July, China's top decision-making body, the Politburo, reiterated the country's commitment to supporting the completion of unfinished projects and turning unsold apartments into affordable housing.

I take your point. I am not against this project existing and it could turn out positive even. But as I said it doesn't have the potential to hinder Chrome's monopoly.

My point is that no one talks about using regulations to curb Google's browser monopoly ever. Even the anti-trust suit against them was related to their search offering. This relates to how Mozilla is beholden to Google for funding, and other players in the game being big corporations themselves.

politicians won’t do anything

Politicians can be made to do stuff. It is not always easy or even possible but activism sometimes works. Either way it is more likely to work than a toy browser for a niche segment of nerds becoming a viable alternative.

Alright then when the stars align perfectly and this pie in the sky becomes a reality maybe we can seriously consider regulating Google.

But alternatives already exist in the form of Safari and Firefox.

I agree with what you said but there is next to no chance a new browser engine from scratch will be able to challenge Blink's dominance.

Google's power comes from a combination of unfortunate factors. They have limitless money to support Chrome's development. They are one of the biggest vendors of online services. They are one of the biggest drivers of new web standard adoption.

Breaking this monopoly will require regulation and enforcement, not a "tech visionary" and a GitHub co-founder playing hero.

Why is there so much hype around this?

They don't want to fix these problems.

Yup. Just this morning I was brushing my teeth and he seized my toothbrush.

Inshallah

No. It's a statement by the dissolved Austin chapter.

You should definitely care if only the intranationally owned factories are struggling. Means that they are doing something wrong.

People Make Games made a video about Valve's structure as well if anyone is interested.

China is conducting a huge military buildup with no transparency

Is there any place that does this transparently? Such a weird accusation.

I thought it was weird giving a civilian honour to another country's leader. But wikipedia says that Xi Jinping received it too.

So a python can properly digest an adult human if given a time? Had no idea about this.
