Why should HN be allowed to have rules on what content is allowed to be posted? People are of course free to not post.

AWS and similar already have service quotas that cap these.

We aren't talking about a calculator web service though we are talking about the Linux kernel and if there's a bug in the kernel that could conceivably cause a crash in an otherwise correctly written application then that would be a CVE in the kernel.

It's not hard to imagine an application for which 1+1 = 3 leads to security issue.

Let's say they do and only 5% are "security issues" you still need to update either way.

It sounds like they didn't agree to that but anyone can propose a settlement.

I don't think they are disputing it was blocked more the reason was copyright not other reasons.

Blackhat markets will always be able to pay better. Selling to Google though you aren't chancing jail time.

I don't think they are saying it's trivial but compare say for example switching an organisation from Office or Windows the example that started this. They are not even in the same ballpark.

> No one looks at Debian and is saying "well maybe we should do what they do"...

Arch does exactly what Debian for the official repos. It was only the AUR that was compromised. Possibly the issue is that Arch is a bit to strict for the official repos which has forced too many people on to the AUR ones.

You would have a lot of security issues right? Whether or not it's useful Wayland does prevent to isolate clients from each other.

Google does remove defamatory results I believe at least partially in response to being sued. However there is a distinction if they have been informed it is defamatory.
