I don't get the downvotes. This is true. The US rejedct the authority of the ICC. See another comment in this thread, the law was passed in 2002.

I had the privilege of seeing him live a few years ago. It strikes me how, despite his world-wide-acclaimed genius, he managed to remain so humble and reserved. It took decades for the world to finally recognize his greatness (he only got a

I don't agree. Maybe not so much in the US, Morricone is recognized world wide.

I don't think it's about "punishing" drivers, it's just that infrastructure costs money and, TBH, the "vignette" is extremely cheap (to say the least) when compared with what you pay for highways e.g. in n

It's not the most readable Rust code I've ever seen and I guess that's not the main concern here. That said, I guess people find C++ easier because they're already used to the syntax.

Public hospitals too. True story. Even though TBH, it's not shocking to me, considering how good public transport is around here. State-run public transport, BTW.

Would you mind elaborating? What seems complicated to you?

Wow, that would be great! Feel free to pop by our IRC channel (#indico on Freenode) or forum ( https://talk.getindico.io ) if you have any questions/suggestions.

Yes, events are organized in a category tree. You can set permissions with variable degrees of granularity. In your case you could have a category per organization.

There is an "invitation" and even a "check-in" feature. You can also tag participants using your own custom fields. So, I'd say that's possible.

Thanks! The project has actually been around since 2004 but has somehow remained under the radar outside High Energy Physics. That started changing in the last couple of years.

Maybe Apple is not even the best example, but look at Google or Facebook. How many potentially successful competitors have they bought off? How much more diverse could the market be if they hadn't been allowed to do so?

> in a fair and competitive market would it be impossible for a company to grow to a $1T valuation? It depends on your definition of "fair". In my view, such a market would be regulated as to avoid that companies become too big

Is this supposed to be good news? I see lots of excitement in this thread, but isn't having a single company worth so much money a sign that we are, as a society, failing to create an economy that is truly competitive and fair? We&#x27

I think it's important to clarify that even though GitLab's core is open source, its own business model is built on the idea of an enterprise version that includes proprietary code. Many useful "advanced" features, such

For a moment I thought it was yet another new ICO. I'm quite happy it's new science instead.

This looks really neat. As a side note, it bothers me a bit that they haven't used an actual URI, e.g. tty:xxxxxxxx-xxxx-... That would allow for nice hyperlinks from web pages and chat rooms.

Not sure why this guy is being downvoted. It's a valid description of what seems to be his own personal experience.
