If you spend time around the FOSS arms of most companies the value they see first is in PR, the second is recruiting, the third is free work. The engineers lead the projects out of passion but what the company sees is opportunity.

I agree with you now. At the time I believed going to a place like BS&W got me doctors who had peers. In hindsight that was probably a big assumption.

After getting off methotrexate I never had that inflammation occur again. The only thing that changed is I stopped taking some B vitamins I'd been taking prior to the diagnosis. RA can be tested for by doing a synovial biopsy, if she h

I was diagnosed with RA a few years ago when my left knee kept swelling to the size of a grapefruit. It was incredibly painful; I have a very high pain tolerance and it put me in tears and made me bed ridden or on crutches for multiple days

Yeah, I don't really accept that kind of logic. That's the kind of stuff that says Jan 6 is okay because the government is that untrustable. In Snowden's case, sure, but in Manning's case her testimony also highlights

I would not personally put my savings in BitCoin. The price is far too volatile [1] and storage of BitCoin revolves around problematic centralized wallets or keeping your wallet offline which is similarly problematic for lay people. You mig

100 years seems reasonable. That would include the gold standard change, some significant monetary changes, and the great depression. I disagree that banking regulation is too much , but I do think the Federal government has an obligation

Evading official channels of whistleblowing, including using her Congressperson if she didn't want to request mast, is my main grievance there. I still argue that the information is not net-new. The helicopter gunship video was said to

That can be true, but you can't really have your cake and eat it too though, no? If the process is robust enough for serious internal affairs and someone skips requesting mast, which they can do all the way up to the President, then th

She says elsewhere in that testimony that the reports in which civilians were killed, raped, and sexual assaults mostly had to do with the police and military of the host countries (Iraq and Afghanistan). This lines up with my experience as

That's not really true, when I was in I was cognizant of a group of Marines that were being charged due to a request mast. They did have to request past their local unit leadership, which the process allowed for.

No, but see the consequence: the information is removed if the user or the company fail to defend it. That makes it a vector for people who have a lot of money they can waste.

The article only mentions her as a picture (on purpose, I'm sure), but I'd like to take a second to address this: Chelsea Manning is a very bad example of a whistleblower. First, she didn't reveal anything new . All the info

OP is concerned about demasking via the court system. Even if the company has no desire to "win" a case, they can compel Glassdoor (or anyone else) to give up the identity of a user. Even if Glassdoor can't figure out who you

I don't. I fast most of the day and eat a rather large meal around 1600 that has most of the nutrients I need. I also take vitamins to supplement. My partner is vegan and needs to eat much more frequently than I do. I have a friend who

I built a cloud for my family to use. It leverages containers and Docker Compose, mainly for it's tooling that makes it easy to deploy. I made a tool that correctly selects the right node based on the directory I'm in using Docker

This is a huge win for rural people, open source, and ag-tech. Hats off to Colorado for understanding what's at stake and the brass to fix it.

I think a medical professional would need to look at a lot of things to determine that. At the least I think she's very smart and observant of the systems of the world around her.

I personally don't think Slack is a great product for open communities. While I don't think they're actively hostile to open communities it's certainly not their priority from a feature perspective. In my view, Slack is

Fair assessment. There is space for panels, but I suspect I'll need more of them because the duration of exposure is not what it needs to be optimal. This is the turbine I looked at: https://www.amazon.com/ZHIHUASMTBX-V
