Chromium behave so similarly to Chrome that it makes no difference to me to use one instead of the other, except for my feelings about the Google brand. It is not a terrible mystery what the differences are. If Chrome were really a proprietary product on the same order as Microsoft Windows, it would not be practically or legally possible to have Chromium at all.

I think the solution is to stop taking offense. The point isn't to say other injustices don't matter - it's to shine a spotlight on a particular type of injustice that needs attention.

And you can't say it hasn't helped. People are more aware of problems between the police and the black community than they were even a few years ago.

Granted you're absolutely right, but the article does seem to acknowledge this:

"and allows the engine to run with diesel-like efficiency and power, while maintaining gasoline's emissions benefits."

Whether or not any of this is actually feasible is explored in elbigbad's sibling comment.
The concepts? Sure. It already has been, to some extent at least.

For instance, the JavaFX UI toolkit is heavily multi-threaded and uses a dialect of CSS 2, it has support for blurs, box shadows etc. The app thread renders the scene graph to some sort of intermediate form (never looked at what, but I think it's similar to the WebRender form, i.e. a series of styled absolutely positioned boxes and text regions), then a render thread translates that into Direct3D or OpenGL calls. The render thread may itself use subthreads that handle rasterisation.

You can read about it here:

I am not sure if you will find too many providers with a better fee and quality of service. Authorize.net is $25 and Stripe is $15 as well for chargebacks.

Are they common? Depending on your business, they might not be that common to you. But ALWAYS expect some chargebacks.
These are great qualities for making a team which follows orders and makes field decisions within a extremely narrow scope.

These are terrible qualities for teams who are self-assigned, entrepreneurial, and have to disrupt standard accepted behaviors in order to create new products.

For example in Number 4: How does this work when the teams assignment is to come up with an objective, rather than just have one assigned to them.

Answer: They would splinter and struggle because they are following a chain of command.

Which follows to Number 1: To make products you need a diverse set of leaders who share authority in varying decisions, not a chain of people who wrongly think themselves to be universal experts. This does require Number 3, but in a different cultural fashion that isn't so rigidly hierarchical.

Basically these are great for teams who just take commands from the actual guy makes the decisions. Google and the NYT are interested in the teams that make decisions. I think the modern workplace is actually trying to UNDO these very narrow minded and ultimately damaging behaviors and their misapplication to the creation process.
Seriously, I don't understand what you're arguing here.

I'll try to be a little clearer, but it's basically what I started with and ended with (which you actually appear to agree with)

1.) SFC says 'in this context, Oracle could make everyone's life easier by waving their magic relicensing wand'

2.) I say 'That's not much of an argument.'

3.) I say 'lists 73 authors not including the Oracle developers, which appear to be both individuals (gmail accounts, etc) and multiple individual businesses (nexenta, ovh, etc)'

4.) I say 'It really seems like neither could easily relicense, so there is no magic wand.'

In other words, there is no 'magic wand' because even if Oracle magically did there thing it would not fix the issue that FSC has with Canonical because the actual 'ZFS on Linux' code would still be licensed as CDDL. So it's 'not much of an argument' because it would be hard (if even possible) to get every ZoL contributor to relicense, and thus doesn't solve the problem.

To argue that this is somehow of equivalent complexity

You seem to be getting stuck on some issue of relicensing being equivalent. From a mathematical point of view, I'm sure you could assign some probability to both events (with Linux relicensing having a smaller chance), but it seems like for all intents and purposes, it's zero (even if Oracle relicensed). Do two events have to have equivalent complexity in order to be basically irrelevant as FSC argument? Seems to me like it's just FSC finger-pointing as rhetorical trick (and thus my pointing out it's lack of merit)
Even still, mathematics isn't entirely infix. And outside computer algebra systems, you'll be hard pressed to find examples of the postfix operations expressed as postfix in programming environments. !, for example. What language allows you to express:

n P k = n! / (n - k)!

as the above? `n P k` will become something like `nperms n k`, factorial will be moved to prefix as `fact n / fact (n - k)`. We're already diverging from the domain language, there's no reason to consider a more logically consistent framework in this case than one that seems to have arbitrarily moved some things from infix to prefix, postfix almost universally to prefix, and left some infix as infix.
Personally, I have a smartphone and have no intention of giving it up. It's just too useful, between taking photos, using GPS, playing games if I'm stuck somewhere and am bored, using RealCalc (RPN calculator app), plus of course voicemail, texting, etc. I rarely use it for email though; I wait until I get home for that. Email is, by definition, not that urgent IMO.

I really don't understand why a bunch of people here feel like they need to get rid of their phone, or put it in airplane mode, or get a dumbphone, or whatever. I guess you all have a whole lot more friends and family than I do. If I don't want to be bothered by people, it's simple, I just go about my business and no one calls or texts me most of the time. And if someone does at a bad time (and half the time it's a wrong number or something anyway), I just ignore it.

Of course, as a few people mentioned, I don't have Facebook installed on my phone either. What a waste of time (and battery power).

As for hanging out, that's easy: if you're having a conversation, don't get your phone out and mess with it. Is that really so hard? I keep mine handy on my belt holster, and if I'm talking to someone, it stays there, unless I have a really good reason to whip it out, such as wanting to show them something on it. I'm not the most socially-adept guy around, but even I know better than to get my phone out when I'm talking to someone and use it (like for texting) to the exclusion of that person's attention.

They existed because had the government not acknowledged our freedoms we wouldn't have accepted the government. It's not like people were sitting around in fear and a government walked by and said "Hey, how about some rights in trade for tax?".

They proposed and created a government that helped to protect the rights they had already decided to die protecting.
I'm the same age as the other guy. Modern conveniences are great, so why should I go without? Just because some hipster complains "how dependent so many people have become on it"? People are pretty dependent on cars too. Our great-great-great grandparents did just fine with horses and buggies. Are you going to abandon your car now and get a horse? People used to get along just fine living in mud huts or lean-tos. Are you going to try living like that too, so that you don't feel dependent on modern conveniences like houses with running water?

Why on earth would I want to go back to the days when it was easy to get lost, and I had to mess around with crappy paper maps, and had to try to find businesses using phone books, and you could only talk on the phone at certain points like your house and otherwise your spouse had no idea where you were? The rest of us abandoned all that crap for good reason: it was a pain in the ass.
I learned the best advice for approaching women only after I became happily married:

Leave escape room.

Whether it's a bar or a cubicle, a woman will (in general, according to my wife and other female friends) be aware of being pinned in. For those not thinking of it, it's perfectly natural to stand at the end of a bench seat or in a cubicle opening to talk, but this gives them no "escape" from the situation and increases tension. Simply standing to the side of that escape path makes the situation less tense.

On the generally-male side of things, (drawing purely from my own experiences) I definitely notice when tall people are close to me, but if they stand a little further back I don't really notice their height.
You can write Lisp that is de facto statically typed, and good compilers take advantage of it. If we write (cons a b), that piece of program text has a type, which is a cons. Given (let ((c (cons a b))) ... (car c) ...) the Lisp compiler can generate efficient code to access c, without a run-time type check that c is a cons, based on c inheriting the type from the cons expression, and not being subject to any assignment in its scope. If we regard it as a parametrized type, not knowing what a and b is, it is the expression "for all types x, for all types y, the type of (cons x y) is: cons cell of x and y".
Okay. That's in fact how the nytimes article started:

> One engineer, for instance, had told researchers that his team leader was "direct and straightforward, which creates a [psychological] safe space for you to take risks."

However the rest of the article went onto to talking more about expressing one's feelings and vulnerability.

I think this is a key difference between Google's and the US Military's approach to team building.
Current disk densities are about 10^12 bits/square inch. To get 800 terabits on a single platter, it would need a diameter of about 32 inches. At 10^14 bits/square inch, only 3.2 inches.

Assuming a compound annual growth rate of 25%, densities will be 10-fold larger in 10 years, and 100-fold larger in 20 years. (This actually happened in hard disks between 1972 and 1992.) But that would take us to 2035, not 2020.

At those densities, a bit will have to be stored inside a square about 7 or 8 nanometers on a side. I don't know whether that's possible.
Best Seller implies loads of people bought the book. Put a absolute floor of a few hundred copies sold, in addition to comparing the relative sales.

You don't want people to start questioning your brand (Amazon Best Seller in this case). We all know that World Record Holder doesn't mean much on its own. You have to specify whether it was most pennies stacked on a toe, biggest soap bubble, etc. What TFA points out is pretty much that the title Amazon Best Seller is useless without specifying a category, or possibly not at all.

I don't see how it could possibly cost $10 for this service. I do most of my music listening in my car, so using a streaming service would require using my cellular data connection to access this music. Cellular data isn't free, it's charged by usage. So playing hours and hours of music a month over a cellular data connection would cause my cellphone bill to balloon.

Much cheaper to just buy it.

And that's neglecting the fact that my data connection is spotty anyway. Fixing that would require buying a new Verizon phone and subscribing to Verizon, so that's probably at least $150-200/month right there, plus whatever the phone costs.
The Future: bigger companies, faster deaths
In the case of Linux, Linus has a public position [1] that:

* A kernel module is run by the kernel, not incorporated in it,

* A kernel module only uses LGPL interfaces, so full GPL compliance shouldn't be necessary,

* Binary modules should be legal (though he doesn't like them), and

* Projects (like filesystems developed for other platforms) with their own life outside of Linux shouldn't be required to re-license if they clearly weren't based on Linux.

I know Linus doesn't represent all kernel developers, but his opinion should carry a lot of weight.

The SFConservancy is just practicing GPL overreach here, and is rattling a saber in hopes that Oracle blinks. Ubuntu has been distributing NVidia binary kernel modules for years and this hasn't resulted in a lawsuit, so it seems like an empty threat.

it excludes sites with that info from your

meanings, like Jaguar the car brand and jaguar

Three things to add here:

1. Our pricing reflects the quality of delivery due to being transactional only. With much higher engagement rates, our speed and delivery is superior. Customers never have to wait behind a bulk campaign.

2. Dedicated IPs are a way for ESPs to pawn responsibility onto customers instead of themselves (and get a few more bucks in the process). They only make sense if you are sending a huge volume, but we do offer dedicated IPs for free for higher volume accounts. Instead, most people use our shared IPs and benefit from the volume of great engagement to get their emails delivered to the inbox faster.

Is the algorithm public?
Pretty good. My first pass at this did a very similar thing where I had a script running on a raspi to change the lights. Completely fair point about wanting to extend the lights during the winter. They switch to evening mode way too early lately and I kind of wish the rules api allowed you to do date based conditionals. That said, I have to do exactly 0 maintenance on it since I got the rules configured, so overall its pretty solid.

Do they do need to even do that? Couldn't that be engineered into the free space on other physical drives and change as needed?

> The statement "Black Lives Matter" offends me, because it makes the assumption that because I'm not black, I don't think black lives matter

No. Statements don't make assumptions. People make assumptions. And you are the particular person making these assumptions. Personally, I make different ones.

The way I (as another white person) read it is as a wake-up call. I think it wouldn't work as a slogan if white people truly thought that black lives didn't matter. It's a reminder to me that although black lives do matter to me, the system I participate in (and benefit from) treats black lives as worth less.

To me, "Black Lives Matter" is just the opposite of ethnocentric thinking. It's a way to expose existing ethnic bias so we can fight ethnocentric systems. Until people admit there's a problem, we can't fix the problem. When I hear (or say) "Black Lives Matter", I think it's a way of pointing out the ongoing disadvantages that are carried forward from our deeply egregious past.

Sorry to say it but they're going to be able to exclude whatever you throw at it.

I understand what the article was saying and I don't disagree. In fact, I'm saying it's obvious. Your explanation effectively repeated it, using equally vague terms.

And that was my point. The author says that LinkedIn needs to find a completely different revenue model in midstream that works for them and that its users love. Do you think there's really a revelation in there? Do you think that's never occurred to LinkedIn (or anyone who's paying attention)?

Making vague and obvious statements as a commentator is also easy. For the article to have value, it should have offered some concrete examples of how these problems could be solved.
