> Not only that, but Miles Guo claimed that the virus was intentionally released by China to defeat America via biological warfare

Such an assertion is well within the bounds for what should be considered possible. China's style of governance lends itself very well to extinguishing epidemics (namely, they can take swift and decisive action), so it's not a stretch to imagine that they would be affected by the outcome less than the USA in the longer term.
we have a limited set of evidence and hysterectomies are one recent example. we just might know facts about other hospitals at this point. do you honestly expect the government to be an stellar example of transparency when it comes to forced sterilization??

You are equating non-free software and cloud SaaS. There is no reason the software can't be free and also be available as a cloud SaaS offering. This is exactly what Canvas, the application mentioned bt the gp, offers. It is free and open source software but most users opt for the cloud SaaS offering so that they don't need to host it themselves and take on the maintenance and IT costs.
Interesting article.

> Apple considered buying Motorola in 2003, but executives quickly concluded it would be too big an acquisition for the company then. (The two companies collaborated unsuccessfully a couple of years later.)

Apple should have bought Motorola. Google reaped a lot of benefit when they bought Motorola, took the IP, and sold the rest to Lenovo.

I can remember back in 2000 attended a recruiting event at Motorola. They were happily showing everyone their smartphone running Linux and saying it would be for sale in a couple of years. It could even do phone calls over IP at the time, and they let you play with it to try out.

I remember the failed phone collaboration with Apple. Most people at Motorola felt that Apple intentionally crippled it; a lot of features were either cut back or removed at Apple's request. And the music storage capacity was intentionally small, again at Apple's request. When the iPhone came out, there were a lot of bitter Motorola folks that felt that they got duped into teaching Apple how to build a cell phone.

As others have mentioned S4S lumber in the US is not standardized in size. It can vary. If your using a softwood like Pine, it will also not be strait. This is going to cause your tight tolerances to be off. You should build this with lumber that has been fully dried, and fully straitened and taken to a lesser tolerance, something that can be plained and jointed down to.

>I honestly don't know what to say to someone who thinks the USA is systematically sterilising people.

You should consider that it's possible, rather than accusing that person of essentially being insane. If they were claiming that the US population was being sterilized by something the federal government puts in the water, then sure. But surgical sterilization in these conditions does not require an Illuminati level of conspiracy, and it's over simplistic and dismissive to imply that it does.

This is ignorant; China has in recent years taken a hard line on pollution of various kinds. They already put a moratorium on importing foreign trash (which was a huge source of river pollution) and are banning single use bags and straws: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-51171491

Packaging like plastic bags are by far the biggest source of river waste: https://ourworldindata.org/plastic-pollution#plastic-waste-b...

Re branding a MIT license software and selling a commercial version is a good thing if done correctly. Clearly Zen is not providing any added value.

The key takeaway from this is you don't sign contracts with overly aggressive business executives. I also think Non-competes should be almost completely banned for most employees.
This is totally true. My institution is able to deploy software at schools because we are managing it for them. Sometimes we have to host on their own server, but we still do the deployment. Doing otherwise would lead to 100% rejection of using our software (ps: it's research stuff, not commercial).
Thanks. I checked it out and I think I'll stay away from sourceforge in future. Annoying pop-ups, redirections, waiting time for download and not even doing that properly the first time.

This point is lost on stallmanists. They still live with assumption that every user is a programmer or at least very interested in _controlling_ the software.

Looks like this person has a triple monitor setup, so that'd be either three DisplayPort/HDMI cables or a single DisplayPort cable if they can daisy chain them (only possible if these are all 1080p monitors). It is an appealing idea, though. I wish there were an easy thin client solution where everything from your actual computer just goes over cat6. Unfortunately cat6 can only handle about 10 Gbps, vs. a single DisplayPort 1.2 cable that handles 18 Gbps. Wouldn't work for multi-monitor 4k setups.
A kWh is not a kW/h. Also, a device used continuously would use a number of kWh over a time period... So kWh/h or kW. If you were discussing a process, you might say it takes so many kWh per cycle, like charging a battery or producing an item, etc.

I think a better explanation is that this is a doctor who specializes in hysterectomies and who recommends hysterectomies whenever that isn't outright malpractice, because it's a routine procedure and it pays relatively well.

This isn't uncommon practice. Hysterectomies often aren't strictly necessary, just like tonsillectomies, back surgeries or hip replacements.

There is no evidence for this really being "masses" of women, or that any of these procedures were entirely unjustified, or that any of this is happening systematically.
I tried it. The majority of videos for a new user account came up as either incredibly inappropriate videos of tweens or incredibly racist videos of tweens (seriously, I was surprised at how many racist/pedophile jokes came up).

> And not being complete means not being finished - since being complete is pre-requisite for being finished. And doesn't that mean, that a piece of software which does NOT get new features, can't stay "finished" when things change and new requirements emerge? Doesn't a piece of software have to get new features so it can stay (close to) finished - and doesn't revert back to being incomplete?

That's a really interesting question. I guess some of it comes down to whose perspective we're looking at the software from. I'd tend to look at it from the author/mountaineer's point of view: If Bram Moolenaar had declared that Vim was complete with version 7 and would never add major features like async/JSON support, I'd probably say that the program was "finished", even if it lacked certain features that I'd like it to have. (Those missing features might cause me to use a different piece of software, but I don't think they'd give me cause to complain that the hypothetical Vim was "incomplete")

(And, indeed, there was a period ~5 years ago where it looked like Moolenaar might go that route, especially with respect to async support. My understanding is that his initial unwillingness to add async support/other new features was a big part of the impetus for Neovim.)

> The only way a piece of software could ever stay "finished" without getting new features is, if it was used for something that no longer sees any change happen or any new requirements emerge - it basically has to be a completely non-evolving field of work with static, unchanging requirements.

I'm not sure that the entire _field_ needs to be static. For example, Quake strikes me as a finished piece of software – that doesn't mean that video games (or even first person shooters) aren't evolving. It just means that Quake carved out a narrow section of that field and finished delivering on its design goals within that narrow slice.

Well, for me, you'll notice that I deliberately don't hide who I am. I deleted my last anonymous account many moons ago.

I'm a reformed troll. I used to be a right bastard. A great deal of my approach, these days, is an act of atonement. In fact, a great deal of my personal philosophy is based upon becoming a much more productive member of society, than I have been in the past.

Please don't make the error of mistaking optimism, kindness, or politeness for weakness or stupidity. It's my experience that this can lead to...costly mistakes.

I can't agree more with stallman. It pisses me off to no end that I was forced to learn autodesk in school, only to graduate and realizing nobody uses it in the real world. So why did my school pay to teach software nobody uses? Might as well used FreeCAD to teach the concepts.

I read this article a while ago, and made the decision to ban chromebooks in my house. I scored a couple cheap laptops, threw Ubuntu MATE on them, and told my kids to have fun, break it, fix it, do anything they want. I'm gonna raise admins, while the school raises ignorant complacent users

Great innovations don't seem to come from just iterated evolution or some big revolutionary leap. Instead it seems to me to come from a series of iterative evolutions followed by a revolutionary idea and a good execution in part of the problem.

Often it comes from a sequence of these evolution->revolution chains. When that happens the initial execution of the revolutionary idea is usually buggy and incomplete, but works well enough to demonstrate the idea. Other people then evolve that idea further.

There is another point hidden there. You can use free software in schools just fine. What happens when kids leave the schools? They will face MS Office or Google Docs. Maybe the idea there is that those kids then push to replace those with Libre Office, but that's a pipe dream. So they will have to learn those non-free products. And given that only minority learn the concepts not what exactly which button to push, there will be a lot of unhappy people in the offices.
