Their only purpose seems to be to occupy this domain to counter Nissan the car company. Their own actual business doesn't look that remarkable or even successful. It has eclipsed the purpose of existence almost.

Maybe time to declare this isn't worth the trouble in life, and there are better things to spend effort on? What are you winning? Sell, and make a buck while you can. There isn't much principled fight to be gained here, is there?
What was the outcome? Is it possible to mention the educational hardware company?

Did a little more research, Mutter is used on X as well it looks like, or at least used to be [0]. Sorry for the inaccuracy.

Edit: I missed the part where you were asking specifically about GNOME. Removed everything unrelated to that.
My point was: if we take the “expected of you” further, someone will argue that we should pay for your commute.

And yes, commuting isn’t expected, but unless you’re living at your job, you have to commute. So, saying “a commute isn’t expected, but being on time is” doesn’t make sense.

Not to mention, there are times where an employer is required to pay for your commute. The biggest is travel that is required to do your job, such as a door-to-door salesperson. That could lead to: if a commute is practically required to do your job (your house to your place of work), why not pay for that?

I personally don’t have an opinion on this; I’m just playing devil’s advocate.
> but I’m interested in hearing your viewpoint.

Given my downvotes it seems others here are not so interested. Nevertheless, I will give you an example.

Housing. I am a bay area native and through my lifetime I have seen certain immigrants from Europe and South Asia, push up the cost of housing. Those tech H1B workers only serve to exacerbate this issue.

I can no longer afford to buy a property unless I work in tech or win the lottery. Others like myself have grown resentful, rightfully so, of these transplants and immigrants.
fail2ban has become a lot less useful in recent years, as brute-force password attacks have seemed to mostly move from "1000 attempts from one single IP" to "one single attempt from each of 1000 IPs".

Besides, set up your keypair, set "PasswordAuthentication no", and you don't have to worry about brute-force password attacks anymore (if the "log noise" bothers you, as some people claim, you can filter those out).

Most countries' health authorities don't take into account public opinion about Important Orange Personages when setting policy, astonishingly.
Well, selling a website because you don't personally care very much about owning it doesn't necessarily mean someone is unprincipled. Most people don't have a principle of being more attached to their name than millions of dollars. I certainly don't!
Other countries may exist, but nobody knows or cares who their head of state is and whether they're any good.
This seems... ambiguous, actually. I for one automatically took "free users" to mean free users of the CI/CD feature, not free users of GitLab. Meaning, the set of people who use > 0 CI/CD minutes. I'm actually surprised if that's not what they mean, given the entire point of the discussion is about how this affects users of the CI/CD feature. It's one thing to state things clearly and let the reader make incorrect inferences just due to natural assumptions, but writing the text itself ambiguously to induce that effect is a little different.
> It's very easy to spot a universally bad tool. There are these screwdrivers with an integrated lamp to check if a wire is live or not. Only incompetent electricians use single phase testers. Amateurs buy them because they don't want to spend $30+ on a real two phase tester and that's fine because they are going to use them 10 times in the first week and then never again.

Electricians are in a mature profession with established training standards. Software developers aren't.

> The reality is that the difference between general purpose languages aren't that great. Even when highly conservative languages like Java adopt functional programming elements, they don't really add capabilities, they only change convenience. Lambdas are nicer than anonymous classes but they are still equivalent in functionality.

And yet every substantial Java codebase I've seen uses some kind of XML- or annotation-driven reflection/bytecode-manipulation proxying framework to implement something that a functional programming language would just do. Given how many bugs and complexities these frameworks introduce, no-one would use them if they didn't actually need them. So it seems that in practice the language is lacking something important, even if in theory it's "only convenience".

A generic "build credit" term could be better, maybe - with some details about what one credit gets you. Maybe one build-credit is normalized to "One minute on an 'n1-standard-1' with 4GB of RAM and 40GB of storage."

Under a system like that, users could maybe choose between a couple of different worker types. Or if there's only ever the one type, periodically the 'n1-standard-1' could be swapped out for whatever is the latest-greatest for the same price.
Before I got COVID, I didn't even really realize that flu was asymptomatic so much, and I didn't know it was so much deadlier to the elderly. Not a good realization that I had been spreading without realizing.
You have to get very, very unlucky on the dice rolls to get samples that are so tilted-- to pick 26 people out of 76, and somehow come up with 13/14 of those requiring ICU in the smaller group, if vitamin D has no effect. Outside of deliberate rigging... (it might even be difficult to deliberately sort and get this much of an imbalance).

Indeed, checking that the two groups look similar after randomization is completely optional. This study does an OK job of doing so.

There's both known and unknown reasons why someone might be predisposed to have a bad outcome. The reason we randomize, rather than try and make "balanced" groups, is that it addresses both unknown and known factors.

Yes, you can, by chance, get more people who are going to have a bad outcome in one group; about 5% of the time you'll get a p<0.05 finding this way. :P

You got to be more assertive with your cats, your literally 10-20 times their size, give them food and protection and they know it. One good technique I've found that doesn't escalate things is to blow air in their face (with your mouth). They tend to go away, but they also don't get pissed off. Don't want them somewhere, physically move them , without emotion. Find them annoying, blow in their face or move them (gently) away. You can escalate with water spraying.

A friend reimplementated it in python and it worked pretty well for analyzing cardiac liver movements[1]!

I don't think he is willing to share the code, but my guess is that a python implementation should work just fine, with very nice results :) (I saw the results applied in his research on videos with impressive results). It took him something like several months to have a code without major bugs.

Depends on your timespan. In the modern era only failed states that can’t actually secure their own borders have unfettered immigration; but it’s pretty rare for people to want to go into such countries.

Scroll back a few centuries, and what we’d consider to be “open borders” was much more the norm.

Then again, a few centuries before that and the vast majority of residents in Europe couldn’t legally leave the land that they were on, forget the concept of immigration. Leaving town could make you an outlaw, let alone your country.

Indeed. And the fact that large scale peaceful protests are happening is irrelevant to the point here. The fact is that some violent protests are happening, but some of the media is flatly denying there is any violence happening whatsoever.
Canada is benefiting substantially from the recent US immigration policies. My Ai team at Microsoft Canada was stacked with talent, all immigrants, and most expressed to me that they would have “normally gone to the US.”

That would be silly since Juul already has a massive establishment brand.

Juul spent a LOT of money on customer acquisition. They've now acquired the customers and there just aren't that many more customers to get. So, now it's time to settle down and set the numbers for exploiting the addicted.

And you don't need 3,000 people in marketing for that.
I think it's not the union that has sold its soul so much as targeting specific individuals who are important in governing a certain local or something, and getting them to sell out.

See, for instance, https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/20/business/gm-fiat-chrysler...

> General Motors has accused Fiat Chrysler of bribing union officials to get a leg up on G.M. in contract negotiations, contending in a lawsuit that its competitor paid for the union’s negotiating team to have a $7,000 dinner shortly after concluding a labor agreement. Fiat Chrysler has called the suit meritless.

I think many are interpreting my comment as anti-union, which it was not meant to be. Unions can be coopted by management, but better to have some sort of worker council/representation than none at all.
The ratio of the weight of the reactor assembly for these reactors to their power is about an order of magnitude worse than the similar ratio (using weight of the reactor vessel + pressurizer + steam generators) of a conventional PWR. How is this going to be competitive?

VSCode gets the look right. Indeed, its look is fantastic. But it doesn't get the feel of vim right at all. My fingers speak vim and they know whether they're talking to vim or something hinky. So after a few days with VSC, I go back. Usually it has to do with ex mode which I power edit in a lot. But I do look at VSC every year or so and it gets better.
> Their only purpose seems to be to occupy this domain to counter Nissan the car company.

It's the guy's name. He registered the domain 5 years before Nissan Motor Company showed interest. He seems to have started businesses further and further from "automobiles" so that he wouldn't have a trademark dispute with the car company.

> Their own actual business doesn't look that remarkable or even successful.

Is that the measure by which someone should keep their property?
You ever notice that the countries where the people are pissed off at the rich for taking too much, pissed of at the government and pissed off about climate change are all countries where basically everyone is fed, clothed and has running water and stable electric power?

Advancements in technology (including GMO crops) and productivity in general have massively raised standards of living in the developing world.

Raised standards of living are what permit people to give a crap about things like oppressed people in the next village over and climate change. Reducing the cost of commodities, like energy and grain, by any means raises standards of living, especially at the margins, and is what permits more people to care about abstract things.
This is because of a court ruling:

The district court issued a final Judgment (PDF) allowing Nissan Computer to keep its nissan.com and nissan.net domain names, but restricted our rights to do the following:
1. Posting Commercial content at nissan.com and nissan.net;
2. Posting advertising or permitting advertising to be posted by third parties at
nissan.com and nissan.net;
3. Posting disparaging remarks or negative commentary regarding Nissan Motor
Co., Ltd. or Nissan North America, Inc. at nissan.com and nissan.net;
4. Placing, on nissan.com or nissan.net, links to other websites containing
commercial content, including advertising; and
5. Placing, on nissan.com or nissan.net, links to other websites containing
disparaging remarks or negative commentary regarding Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.

You never need to change their code either inject those objects into a new class or extend one and inject the other.

I'm curious how you think this differs from traditional practices, generally i think of signing security clauses + political influence as basic union 101.

There've always been professional organizers as long as there've been unions. They're hardly "well-paid" by private standards.

This story represents everything that’s wrong with domains.

On the other hand, you have a company that tried to strong arm the small domain owner in court.

Have never heard the term used that way, and can't find anything about it. Even further off topic - yet not - have search engines' functionality and results quality really degraded this much? Apparently quoting a phrase doesn't even work anymore. I get loads of info on a career AS a lawyer.

Anyway, given that a political appointee would presumably be a relative newcomer, and a "career anything" tends to reflect a longer term of experience, are you saying there's no connotation whatsoever of expertise in this usage?

A straw man. It wasn’t exposed by saboteurs. It was exaggerated with false news stories to add to the legitimate and real concern and to keep the story in the news. The antisemitism is real. So is the outrage about how labour staffers conspired to destroy Labours electoral success. Your blindness to this obvious point is very revealing.

Edit: you seemed to have silently edited your comment to change your argument, so I’ll do the same:

> No. The "real solution" is to oppose anti-semitism with all due expediency.

And the labour leaks show that a faction of the party was purposefully undermining labours ability to do this against the wishes of the leadership. Do you accept this?

> I don't care if it was exasperated by "saboteurs". If Corbyn can't adopt this basic moral position that all humans ought to adopt, I don't care to hear any excuses at all.

That makes no sense: are you really arguing that Corbyn’s political enemies’ actions lead you to hate Corbyn’s moral position, even when it ostensibly matches your own?

How is something harmful if the effects are below a measurable threshold?

And before you say "well if you construct a study and have a control group, etc, etc", yes, ok, fine, you can measure really small changes that way. What happens when the harm is below the noise threshold of that too?
