The reparations were not for independence, but for the genocide the revolting slaves committed against every white person they could find in Haiti.

I don't mean to suggest that animals don't also have consciousness, or that it's not important to explaining their behavior too.

by legalcorrection 4y ago
I strongly disagree. Pure behaviorism is just willful blindness. Consciousness is a real phenomenon, as any person not philosophically committed to denying its existence can tell you. It's front and center of our experience of human co

Pretending consciousness doesn't exist or that it has no function I think reflects poorly on someone who studies human behavior.

It’s funny to think about where we’d be if someone had come up with a better xml syntax before json took off.

by legalcorrection 4y ago
So we’ve come full circle and now JSON is just XML with lighter syntax.

Okay but VS uses git now.

That's literally true but that's inefficient. The question is whether it's more inefficient than whatever you try to do to solve it and the risk it does more harm than good.

Windows handles Unicode just fine. It’s just not UTF-8. The reason they used # is that it’s on the standard keyboard. But hey, don’t let me get in the way of some ignorant Windows-bashing.

You are confused. Read my comment again. I’m just saying, if you don’t want people cloning your software and competing with you for support contracts, then don’t make it open source. It’s absurd to make your product open source, use open so

Windows hasn’t had a text mode since Windows 2000. And even before that, the Windows NT text mode only served the purpose of bringing up a system before the graphics drivers were available, and was accordingly bare-bones and mostly unsuppor

Why not just pledge not to exec?

I’m curious. You’ve posted something boneheaded and wrong and been proven so in the responses. Will you issue a mea culpa or will you just quietly crawl away and keep spreading falsehoods in other threads? So often, it’s the latter.

Live by the sword, die by the sword. Red Hat can develop a closed-source OS and sue people who copy it, but then no one would use their product. If one of your major selling points is open source, not to mention benefiting from all of the n

How can any serious business use GSuite with problems like this.

Human nature is not infinitely malleable. A video of a woman sucking a dick becoming public will always be humiliating to almost everyone.

I think the focus is misplaced. I’d much rather people have my health and location data than my browsing history, which reveals so much more about you.

Bad idea because firmware bugs are a growing attack vector and you are leaving yourself exposed to known, easily-exploited vulnerabilities by not staying up to date.

I don’t see anything unfair in pricing the license as a percentage of revenue or profits. This allows you to capture the actual high value of your invention while also allowing low-value products to benefit from it. After all, that’s what y

That only works for IT-managed devices (and even then, is very expensive in terms of labor). Consumer devices need auto-update to protect them from known vulnerabilities. Auto-update is hard to get right, but your product is defective by de

> the smallest percentage are willing to update firmware Not commenting on the broader issue, but this attitude has to change. Firmware updates cannot be seen as optional anymore.

Indeed, quantitative data without qualitative understanding is useless. You can't understand data without understanding mechanisms, because there's an infinite number of possible confounding factors that you can only dismiss throu

Yes, the standard membership covers two people for the base price. Makes circumventing the membership requirement all the more scummy and petty.

No, France tried to require the right to resell. That’s not the exact same thing as just requiring that old DRM has to degrade gracefully. I doubt the EU would have overruled that.

I mean using someone else's membership card. Nothing wrong with using services that don't require membership.
