why do you know this? If you write such generalisations then please at least link some studies in support. -- Personally of course I would pay/use micropayments. It gives me the flexibility to not commit to a small number of services b

I don't see your point of academia and about hiring from the community? What I see on Github is as professional as it can get. Issues, discussions, triage, review, CI-tests for example. Maybe you started too early, before Julia was set

What a nice PR reply Pichal is delivering here. There might be 1'300 brands and 24'000 devices, but all are bound to the Google conditions. This is not choice. Phone makers may be free to also pre-install competing apps alongside

With Pkg(3) you can lock library versions (including standard library). As the Julia API won't change in 1.x it won't break after upgrading. You should be fine. On the other hand, as far as I understand, 1.0 means that the API is

Horrible. This reminds me of travels in 3rd world countries where sometimes the electricity just dropped out. Ha, never would have thought that the one Google would occasionally become like this...

For me, "ethics" is a too strong word for this discussion.
170.
by chappi42 8y ago
It wouldn't be "unethical" if it is plain that there is a machine involved. Google could e.g. say something like 'hi, google assistant here' and clarify the situation (and give a human person the choice to proceed).
171.
by chappi42 8y ago
The deadpan voice would fall back on you, a computer won't care. But I agree with what I suppose you want to point out, that ethics is not the relevant criterium.

Because the person in the salon or restaurant shouldn't be forced to talk to a bloody computer instead of a human which shows some emotions.

In that case please try to be polite at least. Your answers (in the linked conversation) really don't feel ok. Why not, maybe, think again and, maybe, apologize?

"a bit noisy" is still too nice to describe the few people which pollute each an every blog post with the same boring complaints. One shouldn't use Kickstarter when one doesn't understand the risk.
