There's no way to solve this problem short of public, government registration of all cash and assets, which has been done before, but which most people are wary of, and for good reason. There are so many ways that a person can be the b

IMO, the Gitlab interface is better than github for most of the actual code features. Github still doesn't have a graphical tree view of the commit history. Hell, even the git CLI has that. The only thing I like better about Github is

Yeah, IMO, sourceforge and github never competed. Sourceforge was a place to host installers for windows shareware. Github basically created its own market. It was really competing with the millions of private SVN servers. When git became t

Notepad++ originated at a time when there weren't many code editors for most of the new, growing languages (perl, python, js), or for editing xml and json, especially on windows. Many of the "good" code editors were expensive

It's because zoom is losing some market share to MS Teams, because Teams is able to bundle a bunch of other services in addition to video meetings -- email, CMS, chat, calendar, etc. Everyone who uses Teams hates it, but to a detached

Williams syndrome is only in humans. It's not even a particularly hereditary condition. If what you said was true, we would expect to see modern day wild Wolves with this same genetic abnormality. Or we would expect to see wolves (and

I feel like it's easier to explain that gravity is a force between matter and space(time) and not necessarily between matter and matter, like we presume the other forces are.

Yes and no. Elon has ego, but I also take him at his word when he says he wants to open source AI. He did the same thing with Tesla's patents.

It's the trolley problem. If you don't disclose the vulnerability, users are potentially open to attack because you didn't tell them about a vulnerability that you knew about. If you do disclose the vulnerability, you potenti

That's like saying people shouldn't invest in farms, or pharmacies, or water pumps because there are poor or mentally disabled people who have trouble securing and affording those products.

Congratulations, you’ve just described a corporate structure. It honestly doesn’t matter what the tax statuses of either of the corporations are. If Musk had invested in OpenAI with the goal of making tons of money off their IP (as opposed

Page 37 of the lawsuit has the certificate of incorporation. It says precisely what Musk claims it says. That’s the founding document he’s referencing.

Microsoft contributes to the python foundation, Linux, and lots of other non-profits with valuable IP. I’m sure if any of those nonprofits stopped releasing source code and began giving it only to Microsoft, there would be a lawsuit as well

It is in this case. After Musk invested in them, they’ve incorporated separate for-profit companies to essentially profit from the IP of the non profit.

The original Roman calendar was based on lunar-solar calendars, and they don't line up with a solar year, because a moon cycle is 29.5 days, not 28. The Jewish calendar is one such calendar. It's why Jewish holidays vary so much.

Yes, but that would more appropriately be called cultural identity or nationalism, it isn't race-based. The English and the French and many other European countries each have very strong cultural identities. The French would equally op

For chairs, look up office furniture rental companies. They often sell 5+ year old office chairs for steep discounts and they are usually in pretty good condition.
