I wasn't meaning to imply that wealth should be taxed, however it's a fair point that I'm rather badly conflating income and wealth in the OP - I'm basically using wealth as a proxy for income. I suspect that they are v

Your metric is unhelpful. To start with, as of 2013 the top 20% of earners held 85% of the total wealth in the United States[1]. Let me err on the side of caution and say that this is close enough to your figure of 84%. So it seems the top

You can (for example) modify a file, stage it, then further modify it. You now have three copies of your file - the original, the staged version, and the working tree version. A "git checkout -- file" would revert your working tre

I find it's useful for sketching out high level designs, particularly showing how different components interact, or the flow of data through a system. Visual information in this context trades off specifics for a birds-eye view.

I always thought of it as blaming a commit for a change, not a person for a mistake. I can see how it could be taken badly though since the output makes a point of putting the author's name next to the commit id.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding how these work, but how could an external force stop them from working? Aren't they just a pretty GUI on top of long-standing content sources like bittorrent networks?

I think they were referring to the 3rd party add-ons that provide unlicenced sources. Granted, those add-ons are likely open-source too, so it's a matter of doing your homework or having a source or curator that you trust.

I'm not an electrical or signals engineer, but IIUC the low orbits would also help there, since shorter distances mean much less power requirements for transmission.

In my experience, most cases of overloading are trying to achieve one of two things: * An argument with a default value: foo(string bar), foo(string bar, string baz) * An argument which can be of two or more types: foo(string bar), foo(byte
