Great. Now stop the preferential treatment of Ivy League grads in recruiting and among FTEs as well. From what I have seen, they aren't any more capable than the rest.

Note as well that not a single one of them would "quit for equity" either. Do it, folks, practice what you preach. Free up some $300-500K/yr spots for minority hires, show some real leadership. Talk is cheap.

Ability to demonstrate hypocrisy is the main manifestation of one's power. Rules for thee but not for me, as it were. Or "to know who has power over you, see who you're not allowed to criticize".

That's disingenuous - 99.99% of Anrdoid users have no idea what an "APK" is. Sideloading might as well not exist - nobody but a tiny subset of nerds would even notice.

I don't think even the employers like it. It costs a lot and it's a pain in the ass to even sign up for if you're a small company. To add an insult to an injury, costs go up every year like clockwork in a largely out-of-cont

It's not a "spin", that's exactly what happened. The Hague has no bearing on these facts whatsoever. Khodorkovsky at the time owned half the Duma (Russia's Congress) and was basically writing his own laws. Imagine,

In the US any subsidies tend to just increase the overall cost to what the market will bear anyway (hence $60K/yr for college, for example), which is why you see such a huge slice of the pie (for residential) going to whoever is sellin

So if my math is right, 7.5KW residential, battery-backed system they are using as an example is $32K, all costs included _except_ the yearly cleaning cost, which for a rooftoop system will be, say, $300-400/yr (gutter cleaning is $30

Ironic that everything but Windows works fine with zero setup. iOS is not "UNIX", for example. And because the set-up is onerous but relatively straighforward to someone technical, I'm sure they could easily make it automatic

Also doable with _any_ Linux workstation. It's remarkable when Linux works better with hardware than Windows. I have an old HP Laser Jet 1012 for which Windows no longer has drivers, but Linux does, and as an added bonus it simply show
