Agreed. For something like a photography contest, I am surprised they didn't have explicitly defined rules around it, like requiring contestants to provide the original RAW image (as a proof of work), having an explicit list of what is

That quote was made by a very important (at the time) person in the tech industry, about 16 years before Trump had even announced his run for presidency. His present-time support for Trump doesn't have much to tell me about the events

Sounds more like a guide on how to get your high-performers (who have way more outside employment options than your mediocre performers) to leave. Which is rather a strange approach to increasing productivity and output.

Not the person you are replying to, but you are making an absolutely bad faith assumption here. Is it that impossible for you to imagine that someone could be extremely apalled by the invasion of Ukraine and be fully in support of their sid

I think you misunderstood what they were saying. They were trying to say that their language doesn't have two separate words to describe gender/sex, it is just one word, as they don't separate those terms. That has nothing to

Yes, but it doesn't mean that because Steve was foolish when it came to taking care of his health, all the other things he wasn't foolish about are suddenly worthless of being listened to. And it isn't like he was publicly pr

And? You can demonstrate your complete lack of knowledge of something basic in one area, and understand some extremely complex things in another. Ben Carson (a US presidential candidate from 2016) is one of the most brilliant neurosurgeons

Looks like moving towards openness to me, because as far as I remember, there has not been such a high-functioning Linux distro on a Mac until Asahi. And implemented in such a short period of time, on top of that. Of course I wouldn't
