I think the obvious answer is to make it compelling for those kinds of engineers to consider civil service as a long-term option. Right now, 18F positions on the general schedule, which is probably where ICs would land, are time-limited up

I'm not sure how to search for this to verify your claim, but I'm intrigued. Do you happen to have a citation to a ruling that you can share?

Even if that's the argument being made, nothing changes. Co-opting furry artwork without actually being part of the community will be uncovered soon enough as being fake. I won't assert that the furry subculture is always better t

No, I'm making the same argument. I'll restate my proposition: Furry, as a subculture, is mostly secure against the kinds of deception employed by, e.g., Russian trolls because of social network effects. There are a few facts I fe

I don't feel it's irrelevant. The fact is that the characters depicted in the artwork you're proposing could be ripped off belong to individuals. People like you and me. People with whom I'm personally good friends, with

Yeah, I stumbled upon that as well, but it just looked like the connections to furry merely involved political issues that coincided with the causes that furries tend to care about. Even furries, still being human at the end of the day, con

Interesting. Would you happen to have any good sources for that? All I'm coming up with are pop culture rags that are scant on the details and don't offer up any real analysis of what went on there.

Doing this is generally not advisable; you'll be found out pretty quickly if you do. Furries are a pretty tightly-knit bunch of people, and the folks who occupy the artwork-having set are usually two or three degrees of separation from

It's easier to tell whether or not an account is a bot if it uses a furry avatar. There are a couple of important facts to consider: The furry subculture is very tightly knit, and there's a reasonable chance that you're only

Stolen content in the furry subculture is actually easily enough dealt with. Given a little bit of work, you can sniff out who drew the original work and piece things together. (This goes notwithstanding that artists actually enjoy knowing

Thanks, I hate it. One of those interesting side-effects of furry avatars that I noticed is that accounts bearing those avatars were always real people, with the added bonus that you can generally authenticate the human behind the mask if y

If YouTube's advertisers found that kind of thing agreeable, I suppose they could. That said, I'm not sure the incentive exists for them to undertake that kind of work. The platform existing for everyday people to disseminate thei

Unfortunately, I fear the reality of this situation is a lot less nuanced than you're expressing here. It's more likely that the advertisers who give YouTube a lot of money simply threatened not to advertise on the platform should

(Disclaimer: I'm not a medical professional, and I don't lay any claim to being authoritative. This is mostly anecdotal.) I suspect the difference in HCQ and remdesivir dosing studies mostly has to do with the classes of drugs tho

No, go fire up DOSBox and watch it in realtime! Watching demos on YouTube takes away a lot from the spirit of what makes productions like this one special. Also, your Pouët link is wrong. I think you actually meant https://www.po

Everyone likes to make fun of furries, but they have an uncanny ability to maintain a robust, cohesive social network irrespective of venue. I'm not surprised that a subculture that mostly exists in a stratum of friendship by correspon

A trick I learned to deal with this very thing was just to attempt to call the local time/weather number after getting my dial tone back. That said, with far-side supervision, I suspect that the call would actually time out after somet

You aren't the customers in this situation. For every 10,000 of you who don't pay even pay GitHub the $7/mo for a subscription, there's a 3000-seat behemoth who pays $70k/mo for a GitHub Enterprise license. You&#x27

I appreciate the idealism here, but the reality is that trying to run a business under the pretense of free speech absolutism can alienate an otherwise profitable market segment. With the loss of that market segment likely comes the grumbli

I like the characterization of DDD as a jungle. There's certainly a lot of overgrowth in the process and patterns that can be bewildering and overwhelming at first. I was actually unaware until just now that Newman had published anothe

I'm not so convinced. I'll assert that a service boundary can absolutely exist between two modules running within the same binary image. The distinction comes down to grading your application along a few axes: Ratio of deployable

You keep saying these things, but I'm less and less convinced that you have a significant hand in how these things are "system engineered," as you put it. I'm also concerned by how few of my questions you actually answer
