I was really happy when that Ask HN thread was first posted and even happier now knowing that all of the comments were read and thoroughly considered. That said, what this blog post and the general feeling I get from Ubuntu as a whole is th

> It basically says ... and I agree not to talk about this payout" That's not quite right. When I read the NDA, section 2 is what stuck out to me as an oddity that isn't standard in most settlement agreements. Specifically

> you may have to sign something which says "that is it", waiving your right to sue anyone for anything more Isn't that quite different from an NDA though? With insurance, everything is documented and available for access

Since you are moving to a subscription model, I'm curious as to how updates and support will change. I usually equate subscriptions with better support and/or more frequent updates. What differences can users expect on this front

Honest question. Why?

Closer and closer? How about it's already happened. I just visited some of my friends in Japan, many of whom wanted to visit me in the US once their children got a bit older, and they all said they are straight up frightened of simply

Yes, it is. Human nature isn't to blame here. It's a justice system that allows for those in power (position, authority, wealth, etc.) to accuse those with less means of defending themselves without repercussions .

I kind of assumed that at $35/month, there were no ads. You have to skip them? Seems to me that YouTube wants to have its cake and eat it too.

Did I say intent in my reply? Did I even imply it anywhere? Because until I saw your response, intent didn't even cross my mind. Regardless of that, I still don't think intent changes my point of view when it comes to justice . T

I'm going to say yes. If they and their business are completely outside of the US, then unless they are breaking a treaty (ex: war crimes), I would say that it is justice. To think otherwise would be to place the expectation that every

That might be nice for the occasional translation, but it pales in comparison to the usability and experience Rikai-chan offers or I guess soon offered.

If your rights are suspended at the border, then whose rule of law does apply? Clearly not the US, then would it be the neighboring country like Canada? Or is it some sort of no mans land? With more and more of these stories bringing up the

I know that, but read the exact wording they used to define why he is in contempt and what he has to do. That's the important part. But I'll play along with your pedantic game. First, the wording says to give over his computer

Not mixing things up as I understand part of the issue lies with the DE. But that's only with separate X sessions. As I wrote, the first thing I attempted was to run it as a single X session which simply did not work. That is a driver

Not the OP, but since I have the attention of someone who seems confident, here is the problem I have with Linux GPU drivers. I have a desktop that's been running strong for over half a decade with Windows 7: core i7-920, dual GeForce

Having worked in education with a wide range of kids (age, temperament, etc.), my view is that these articles are a good read. However, they are written for the masses. To get views. They distill (I hope) tons of research and case studies i

I think paraphrasing to reduce wordiness made the GSS seem far less objective in your comment. I'm sure you'd agree that losing that nuance, for someone who doesn't know much about the GSS, makes that question look... questio

That first statement is hard to agree with because it takes an all-or-nothing stance in a broad manner (must + little use). Most people will disagree because there is probably a "I don't 100% agree" reaction to it. You'd

So great listeners do what great teachers often do. Especially when teaching one-on-one or in discussions.
