Have you ever heard the phrase "cutting off one's nose to spite one's face"?

I don't see the need to migrate immediately, even if that need becomes evident later (I don't think it will, but yeah, it could happen).

I understand the reaction, but I thought we all migrated off Slashdot and spelling Microsoft with a $ a while ago.
Well yeah, I thought it was obvious that it was a proof of concept, otherwise they could have just aimed a traditional hose through the opening to put out the fire. As the article says "It worked reasonably well, as prototypes go, but it’s really more of a proof of concept in hardware than anything else, and obviously there’s a lot to do before a system like this could be real-world useful"

As for future directions it could take (no pun intended): "Since the nozzles are steerable, each module can direct itself independently, letting the hose weave itself through small gaps deep into a structure in order to find the source of a fire... The 2-meter long prototype in the video above is intended to be a single segment in a robot that can be extended to an arbitrary length by just adding on more segments"

The article concedes "What’s happening here might be complex to implement in practice"

Higher valuation means MS have to give out less shares now for this acquisition. Although, it’s a complicated topic.

Trying to address your comment - MS makes money with stock market movement but not right away. Higher stock value means higher valuation. If MS decides to raise money by selling stocks then obviously they will get the higher dollar value at that time. Although, it will be painful for stock buyback program.

> preying on less principled developers (and users).

Oh, please. Non-GPL OSS developer here. I'm not some weak doe in the woods being preyed on by evil companies and their MIT and BSD licensed software. I know exactly why I strike the bargain I do - its because I want to be able to make money selling proprietary extensions and modifications on top of any software I write. And I want to encourage any developers using software I write to do the same.

I use BSD/ISC/MIT licenses because I support the right of other developers to make modifications to my software and keep their modifications closed source if they want. I support developers feeding their families. And more $ usually means more ideas, more developers and healthier ecosystem.

Get off your high horse. I'm not a "less principled developer". I just have different principles thank you. I think having developers who pay rent writing OSS is a great deal for everyone.
Does those people being wrong mean anything from a moral /rightness / "getting screwed" perspective? I make mistakes like anyone else, sometimes pretty big ones to the tune of quite a lot of money. Wouldn't say I've been screwed though. I just fucked up.

Neat! I wrote a similar project for Drupal once - https://www.drupal.org/project/generate_errors - I found it to be a good way to learn about HTTP status codes and their meanings. Currently, you've got a finite list of HTTP status codes and don't have definitions. You may want to consider grouping them and including labels. Or don't, I'm just some guy on the internet :-)

Cool project!
A lot of people do not have a perspective on how greedy Microsoft was.

Bill Gates is one of the richest people in the world today, not by gathering in circles and singing happy songs. The guy was a monopolist.

They wanted everyone to use Microsoft Windows, code in Visual Studio, do their office work in Office, browse the web in Internet Explorer, have a Microsoft e-mail, chat using Microsoft services, and you get the idea.

And a lot of that was possible by having Windows preinstalled in new computers, and bundling software with Windows, like Internet Explorer. You could argue Apple is similar, but I do not think Apple is interested in a monopoly of the size of that planned by Microsoft.

While I might like the idea of “enforced privacy”, I do know that I do not know very much. Of the few things I do know, Is that no bureaucrat can properly codify something in a quickly developing and changing system. I also believe that this power that are given to a bureaucracy, will only grow and come back with a vengeance with unintended consequences.

Lastly, where do you draw the line? Why should EU laws apply to any non EU citizen and vice versa?

Pick something like prostitution, which is largely illegal in the US but largely legal in the EU. Why should a EU citizen be charged for violating US laws while visiting a red light district in the EU?

How about a simpler example. Let’s say a US/EU citizen writes a small rant on his blog about the Thai king. There are strict laws against criticizing the king, to include jail time. So should a non Thai citizen blogging from home be fined/punished for his behavior? Clearly the answer is no!

> Because of rules designed to limit tax increases, cities can get proposed tax hikes on Tuesday’s primary ballot only by declaring a crisis. At least two have done so this year, following at least 50 since 2008.

That doesn't seem like a particularly informative year to use as a cutoff; 2009 would have been the first year of primaries during the recession, so it's not inconceivable that there were a number of municipalities in a financial crisis then.
I would think it would be to heavy.

I wonder what the calculations would be on length compared to water loss to keep it flying.

I'd think mains power combined with normal drone tech might be better.

You would be circulating oxygen more efficiently though.

Could you negate this with a small loss of water near the blades?

Or use mains power to use the jets more efficiently, increasing the pressure as it leaves the hose using the wasted water more efficiently.

In a garden is see it as possibly brilliant though. Less obstacles and pre-programmable, get the thrust as a spray for the lawn and the end for specific plants / trees.

I see Big Four (Google, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft) more often than FANG although that is obviously confusing on Wall St where that phrase usually refers to the large accounting firms.

Let’s not forget that Github came out of rails which was/is a rather SaaS oriented community, and struggled to build out an enterprise sales team that could deliver and market the on-site product to large corps. Microsoft has sales channels into almost every enterprise in the world and can sell a lot more github installations than github could by itself. Github is simply worth way more inside of Microsoft than it was outside.

If you read the article, you might’ve missed that the culprit is a 1978 decision to pass Prop 13 - a resolution that only allowed property tax hikes to be passed on election years, and then in 1996 proposition 218 that limited tax raises in general - outside the loophole that a county can declare an emergn y and run a tax hike vote anytime (without negative consequence, and perhaps with positive consequence).

Skeptical, but not without cause.

1. Late 90's/Early 2000's, Microsoft's implementation and inclusion of CDRW/DVDRW functionality native to the OS eliminating competition from smaller companies that had pioneered the technology and was selling their software to Windows desktop users.

2. Late 90's/Early 2000's, Microsoft's implementation and development of Active Directory which not only rivaled Novell's Netware flagship product but also went against RFC's put forth by the larger community that rivaled OpenLDAP. Because of the desktop shares and users already on the Windows NT platform put thousands out of work and nearly put Novell out of business.

3. Early to mid 2000's, Microsoft moves away from already found vulnerable MSCHAP, MSCHAPV2 authentication protocols in favor of the MIT Kerberos protocol for all network authentication of users and systems in Active Directory.

Not only did this put those companies out to pasture and eliminate a large amount of revenue but the idea of stealing and idea is very bad tact. Reverse engineering code to gain a larger market share is not only dishonest but plagarism and illegal in schools. Why should the free economy play by a different set of rules?

People wonder why Microsoft has a bad reputation, the three things I have witnessed over the years in conjunction with the snatching up smaller companies and parting them out make me and I am sure many others very skeptical of their desire to snatch up the worlds largest source code repository.

My argument is that you can always implement your own breed of type checking either via convention (with appropriate enforcement via static analysis or linting tools if so desired without having to run the code), or you can do type checking at run time -- most dynamic languages have a facility to interrogate a variable to determine its contents and you can implement any number of tests on it as you see fit to validate it.
According to Glassdoor, average programmer salary at GitHub is $150k. That's hardly peanuts.

Bay Area overflows with job opportunities.

If those talented people would rather get a risk-free work at Google/Facebook/Microsoft for $250k, why didn't they?

Majority of software startups require just as much work, pay even less in base salary and their equity is worth $0 in the end, because the founders didn't create a valuable company.

You say employees got screwed because they worked hard and didn't make tens of millions.

I say they got supremely lucky.

A 0.1% of 7.5 billion is $7.5 million, which is more than you can hope to make from cushy G/F/M jobs and certainly more than you can hope to make from an average Bay Area startup.
That's.. actually pretty extraordinary. In my cynicism I had imagined the only possible motivation for positioning new emoji as flagship features of their iOS iterations was a blatant attempt to lure pre-teens into a long (and lucrative) journey into Apple's ecosystem. I think perhaps I should take a few steps back and absorb the idea that:

1. people communicate in many different ways and

2. these things aren't valueless just because I don't picture myself using them. And in retrospect, I only struggle to picture myself authoring one; receiving them is completely fine.
> but they knew there was significant risk. Frankly my example is probably being generous to Bayer since I'd wager the combined probability in the case of Bayer was greater than 1/6.

So, what exactly is the percentage of risk that makes it intentional?

Listen, Bayer did a horrible thing, and while it clearly hasn't been proved here that it's intentional, as that word has an actual definition which is not met here, it's definitely criminally negligent to an unbelievable degree.

All I'm saying is there's no need to start using labels that don't apply or trying to change the meaning of words just to make it sound worse. Language is only as useful as it is clear.

There is a real negative effect in using hyperbole to describe the misdeeds of others. The inaccuracy allows them wiggle room to supply carefully worded denials that are true, in reality if not in spirit.

For example, if a defender of Bayer were here, they could say "Bayer did not intentionally spread HIV in Asia" and they would not be lying, even if they are skirting the issue and relying on a technicality. This allows for third parties to be confused, and the issue to be muddied.

The overreaching of the original statement allows for this type of denial, whereas a more specific statement about the facts would not. For example, the statement "Bayer repurposed goods that were not correctly sterilized from HIV that it knew would be too risky to use in first world markets to Asian markets, resulting in thousands of hemophiliacs that used the drugs to become HIV positive. When problems started occurring, Bayer assured health officials that the product was safe."

As a side-effect, in trying to make sure the statement is actually correct and accurate, it may lead the people making it to look closer at the issue, and realize it's not necessarily as cut-and-dry as that (as I just did), while still being plenty bad.

One final note: I, and I'm sure many others, use imprecise and accusatory language such as used in the original comment as a red flag to identify people pushing an agenda (even if that agenda is outrage to drive views). When I just searched this issue, I came across a result that said "Bayer deliberately infected asians and latinos with HIV." That's the kind of wording that's meant to spark outrage (as indeed there should be), but outrage without information (because there can't be much or it would discredit the title), which is never useful. When people use language such as that accidentally, they should be gently corrected (as I attempted to do). When they do it on purpose, they should be ignored or scorned, as they are trying to manipulate you.
This does not match the physical testing I have been doing and my father has said the same about having issues with DND and the clock.

So, I don’t really know what’s going on, then. But unless vibrate and DND is turned off and the volume is all the way up, sometimes the alarm just doesn’t work and I have missed stuff before.

Android was really clear about this: there was just “no notifications”, “alarm only” and “all notifications”. I wish Apple would make a three state toggle like this and bundle it all together ..

(I understand that you’re trying to tell me that alarm should be working, but it just isn’t).
And easily beaten, it would be a complete waste of effort to even bother trying.
Your story doesn’t speak well of SV. If employees are led to believe — or even let to believe — they are in this with the founders and will share in the rewards but it’s not in their contracts... I’m not sure if it’s on the Founders or the people who believe beyond what their contracts oblige their founders and investors to perform. Which case are you making here? Personally, I assume I don’t get anything not stipulated in the employment contract regardless of enthusiastic assurances to the contrary.

The mainstream press beyond Hersh has reported on Christian fundamentalism at leadership levels at the USAFA during Bush's presidency. Also former undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence General Boykin's actions and statements.

There are also stories Bush told Chirac about Gig and Magog, and biblical prophecy during the war in Iraq. How true that is I do not know.

I see this type of talk on cable TV late at night where I live. I can imagine what radio and TV in Oklahoma or Mississippi is playing. I am not surprised this has gotten into the water. Nor do I find it odd Hersh would mention this in an interview or speech, it must seem strange to a rational secular person like himself.

The military fundamentalist news was not Hersh specific and was reported more widely.

Why would "free software" imply that you could ignore other people's copyrights, take other people's non-free work and give it away?

If Disney offered you a program to play all their movies, you could say "I refuse to use their black-box proprietary movie player, I will only use a free software video player that I can inspect, to make sure it isn't scanning my computer for copyrighted Disney movies and reporting everything it finds back to Disneyland, and one I can recompile to put the video stream into the background of my transparent terminal because I'm not watching dozens of hours of movies unless I can work at the same time".

I think that justifying personal ignorance as e.g. a "minimalist knowledge approach" is the root of mediocrity.

Excellent developers have no sense of learned helplessness. They will not settle for ignorance in either their tools or their business knowledge. They go beyond "trial and error". In the short run they might have to make compromises with current limited knowledge, but they won't stop learning.

Mediocre engineers use mediocre tools, foster mediocre cultures, and won't drive each other to excel. They will produce, at best, adequacy. Don't lionize that.
