I had lunch with RMS the other week. Email him if you don't believe me that the FSF didn't force him out.

My mom always used to say that average people are the most special people in the world. And that's why God made so many.

The FSF didn't force RMS out; he voluntarily resigned so as not to have external events hurt the FSF. You can email him if you don't believe this. He's been pretty clear about that. The FSF released free software video confer

Auditors typically work with a firm to iron out any issues so as to avoid material statements. The fact DoorDash and the auditor weren't able to resolve this issue/these coming issues and resorting to writing it up definitely is a

By "Free Software movement... relying on corporate money" do you mean the volunteer developers/contributors who have corporate jobs? The FSF is mostly funded by individuals / not corporate money.

For me it depends on context and need, but even if one hectic day I decide to use Jake Knapp's paper burner list instead of org-mode, at the end of the day everything still gets put into my electronic system. I still haven't found

A number of those taxed are just being incentivized to move elsewhere.

No, it's a pattern of incompetent restaurants combined with money-losing VC-funded companies like Uber who don't know how to run a business. But thanks for your helpful comment.

I don't know if there's a best one. I've been using online ordering since Foodler days, and they seem to all be getting worse. Grubhub almost always sticks to a $5 credit even if the problem with the other is much more than $

Some conferences ask you to check a box that you've read and agree to the CoC before your speaking/attendance registration can go through. What do you do in those situations / do you just check those anyway or not attend?

You can talk semantics all you want, but at the end of the day, look at your average Robin Hood trader on StockTwits and we can see exactly what the market is.

While we do that you should read about the GPL and the reason it was created, instead of trolling while enabling nonfree software.

I'm not on the mailing list / saw the survey first on HN. At first glance thought it was marketing spam or something.

Who's behind this survey / it's not clear to me from looking at the survey page. Also kind of odd for a survey about Emacs to require nonfree JavaScript.

That would result in feature bloat and products, if they ever make it to market, that don't address consumer needs. Competent management is just as needed as technical contributions.

JPM probably made a lot more than that fine. First week orientation in my friend's MBA program before classes started was a session about ethics. He thought it would be about being ethical, but the professor said as businesses for any

Yea the US is far behind other countries with regard to passenger rail service. A friend who thought Amtrak was fast got blown away when she rode the Shinkansen for the first time.

Responses to your insightful post demonstrate why we'll never achieve Roddenberry's dream of a post-scarcity economy. Because in my day I walked 100 miles in the snow so I could get to school to study and become an engineer to pay

Facebook can do whatever it wants, including policing communications on its platform; it's a for-profit company.

Same. In general I go out of my way to not use Amazon these days, coming from a customer who was a customer when they only sold books. 80% of the time I buy something from Amazon what I get feels very much like I went to a garage sale. Defe

You should contribute to free software packages instead of complaining and continuing to willingly sell out your agency by using proprietary software.
