The details don't support that assessment. Chain of events: 1) The CLA library requested by the foundation was reported broken by an admin one of the member project repos. That member project repo had refused to turn over control of sa

Nor you the elaborate IRC bots of yester-year.

Slack is just IRC in a javascript client. If they bothered to offer more than that they might be a competitor, but they didn't so they're not.

Didn't say they did. Yes, airlines are run assembly-line style. The linked article mentioned a private jet straying into a restricted area, I was referencing that incident in particular.

Google is an ad company. Presumably they're good at selling ads, they make $18B a quarter. Facebook is also an ad company, with a stellar string of quarterly reports. Apple is a hardware company. The phones are pretty nice. Out of th

They didn't profit off of ML models, they profited from the DARPA contract. See point above about murder robots.

We've lost wisdom from ~200 years ago, never mind 2,000 years ago. If you look around architectural preservation forums and publications you'll find lots of examples of people trying to preserve historic buildings and doing more h

Depends. I live in north Dallas. Masks were always just a guideline here, no matter how many "required" signs there were, anywhere from 25% to 50% of the clientele on any given day would just ignore them. We now are going the ot

It's not so much that you can't fly from VOR to VOR, everyone knows how to do so. It's more that it's a horrible waste of time and fuel. If you have GPS, you will get cleared direct after getting out of congested areas,

I don't know of an approved GLONASS nav unit. Even if you do have one it would be a handheld device that can't talk to the autopilot or the FMS.

There are no more usable NDBs in/around most bravo cities. The last one in DFW was decommissioned about 3 years ago. Any other ones that are still functional are on borrowed time. Furthermore, no one is making the receivers anymore.

The idea that everything can be turned into a science, when that is clearly not the case, has created a few generations of people who think that they can programmatically examine the meaning of human discourse, which is also not the case. A

It's still reflective of reality though! If I know one thing from working for large corporations, it's that whatever is talked about the most will never change.

Wrong. That money is rendered worthless from an economic perspective. In a healthy economy the profits of corporations are spent on more facilities, more suppliers, more employees, who all in turn spend their profits on the same. We don&#x

I think you're in need of some further reading. 1) UN resolutions don't have any enforcement weight, which is why they're so popular with politicians who run on the statement "nothing will fundamentally change." 2)

Indeed. I think those affected have commendably kept their cool so far but I’d say this (diversity Trojan horse, “we need full control to enforce the CoC, whoops you’re fired goodbye”) is a playbook that will be often repeated in the coming

I'll tell you what the difference is, that no one ever points out... In the case of a crime being committed in a hotel room, the criminal is the nuisance. The hotel operator gladly participates with law enforcement to remove the nuisan
