Exactly "the only big one". As in there are no others. If you want to have a big convention in SF your choices are, ... None. The ability for a developer to buy land and build another big, profitable convention center in SF is

I believe that to be the best technical document I've ever read. Surely biased as I learned so much.

durability is not same as "protection". It doesn't include items like government seizure, hacking. Your own drives, in your physical possession fill in that gap (somewhat).

Venues (over a certain size) are near monopolies. There is only one Moscone Center. You could hold event at Cow Palace, but that's not the same level of facility, nor so optimally placed.

Indefinite doesn't mean what you seem to think it means. Here's some synonyms to help you out; vague, ill-defined, unclear, imprecise, inexact, loose, general, nebulous, fuzzy, hazy, obscure, ambiguous, equivocal, indeterminate, u

Because of indefinite's definition. It doesn't mean long or short it means unknown. Which is pretty much worthless. It's probably a typo and they meant to write "almost infinite". Which actually makes sense.

Don't earn such a disproportionate amount of money and it won't get "stolen". In other words if you don't steal so much from others, go meet won't steal it back.

You seem to be selfishly focusing only on the benefit to you. You are (or should be) part of a team. Even with your low 1-2 times a week, with 5 person team that is 5-10/wk. In otherwords every single day.

Standing up is not dogma. Every description I've ever read of standups explains why you should actually stand. Read the article.

Yeah but with drives and machines so cheap, most users can keep all their data live, on active drives. Actually on 3 or more drives geographically dispersed.

Tesla is one business, "Battery Manufacturer". They currently have a few products in their line. Home batteries, Industrial batteries, and some battery powered vehicles.

You're making the wrong argument. You get to control what you are subjected to. If you don't want to be bombarded by psychologically manipulative propaganda, it is just, correct, ethical, and legal(for now) not to be. If you

"Lessig said he would serve as president only as long as it takes to pass a package of government reforms" Well that will take longer than two terms. Congress doesn't even play along with the people who are incahoots in riggi

That makes it sound strange. The reality is the finance dept responded to routine requests for wire transfers similar to all the others the handle all day, every day.

How is this enforceable? Do they get constables to round you up and handcuff you to desk? What if they just sit there all day doing nothing, they can't be fired for 1 yr? I can't imagine anything forcing someone to work. I can se

I've only ever seen it used in a complementary manner. "He's got real chutzpah"
1072.
by njharman 11y ago
Chutzpah is the very much the wrong word for this behavior. It's arrogance. Maybe use audacity if you're afraid of being accused of bias for calling a kettle, black.

You are confusing and commingling git with Github. Even though one uses the other they are very much not the same thing conceptually or practically.

> > Who decides what is and is not appropriate? > Github does. That's how that works. In practice, for Github and most companies, it is their customers who decide. Companies are beholden to their customer's for existence.

1. Obviously or there'd be a lawsuit. Not everything that is wrong or destructive is coded into law. Censorship as a concept exists outside of the law. All censorship, legal or not, should be strongly scrutinized.

The site was lost long ago. Enforcing a brand on it is one of the things that caused it to become lost. It was a developer tool. Developers want things to work, fairly, reliably, transparently and ideally with (technical) elegance.

Storing a pdf or zip file is not a requirement nor definition of a filesystem. You can do neither of those with a CDROM or DVD and both those contain filesystems.
