Obviously the answer is to get a square phone. One of those foldables?

This is a tortured analogy. Yes it's even better if they don't do crime and yet inherit the money as that would allow them to claim they have clean hands, like the developed world is doing now. ("Colonialism? Massive resource

Voluntary service is great but when you get invaded you're not going to send the H1B visa holder to the frontlines, are you?

Not even American. Just visited once for a few weeks. The answer is generic, in recent times you can compare how Ukraine or Russia can conscript their own citizens but probably not foreign workers who just work there.

Red Hat is not relicensing the Linux kernel, or GCC (to name two examples).

The countries are competitive with each other, not in a father/son relationship. At least the father has a natural lifespan and the ill gotten riches would go to the son(s). Can we say the same thing about the riches of say, the USA? I

These countries are competitive entities. Even though the planet is shared, the earlier developed nations have gained advantages from their polluting (and at many times, colonial) past that allowed them to pull ahead of other countries. Now

There's a phrase for that "do as I say, not as I do" (see also: "pulling the ladder up"). This is rightly viewed as hypocritical by those on the receiving end.

Re: emissions per capita - why should the Chinese be limited to a lower amount than the US citizens? They want a high standard of living too.

The "best talent in the world" should have no problem with that six figure sum, then.

Is that real memory taken? If it's shared code from the same executable surely the multiples are not very relevant?

The root cause is alternative libc implementations. Are BSD syscalls considered stable? I remember Go moving to use libc on OpenBSD. Solaris also has the libc as the stable interface. Linux kernel is an outlier here guaranteeing stable sysc

Something tells me the people misusing the SSN would just misuse this new national ID number too. Wasn't the issue that people were treating knowledge of the (de facto public) ID number as proof of identity? Nothing is stopping them fr

Even so, how would a meaningful amount of it be delivered to the eye from oral ingestion without damaging anything in between?
