I'm gonna assume "Android" here is a word meaning a centrally developed and somewhat more planned OS platform, not literally Android itself. The main reason there's no such OS is because developers by and large will not

Sandstorm was an attempt to do this, but there isn't much demand. Why install WordPress when wordpress.com will run it for you as a service?

People can complain about old jobs, sure. But not if they explicitly make a promise not to do so, especially not if they get paid in return for that promise. Whether governments will let her get away with it or not, it's a backstab to

How is trust in the scientific community not belief? If you aren't checking their claims directly, then it's just that you believe them and others don't. BTW it's not really trust in the scientific community. There are l

Even worse than that. She took the $40k in return for agreeing to not disparage VMware. She then immediately started disparaging them, but it was "in private" whatever that means, so she presumed she wouldn't get caught. And

Projection, your honor! We started with "probable billions" on climate-related PR and you replied with evidence of millions, much of which isn't on climate related stuff. Now you're saying what you meant wasn't bill

It presumably ends in 2022 because that's the last full year and the data for 2023 would be incomplete and therefore not be comparable. That's expected, not some sort of sneaky trick. As for including the fracking boom, so what? I

Don't feel too bad about that one. I've seen Docker's default of non-persistent storage cause disaster even for professionals with years of experience. It's just a really bad bit of design.

Sorry, it's easy to forget that many people have never encountered these facts before. Climatologists continuously rewrite history which is why it's so confusing. In 1999, NASA climatologist James Hansen was wondering why the USA
