And there are so many stories about science donations disrespecting the donors intentions. Reuters did a series on it: https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-bodi... https://www.reuters

If FAANG didn't keep adding jobs to overpopulated cities but to rust belt cities, housing pressures wouldn't be bad as it is. At least OCP invested in the community.

It depends on Polish law, and how likely they would attempt to prosecute you for a polite letter mailed to them.

I suspect Valve is suffering from artistic perfectionism, which means they will never release any of their products, much like how GRRM is repeatedly rewriting his novels.

Only KDE, Apple, and Google can enforce it through their own licenses.

Well, an enterprise would have to ask for the source code to Chrome, wouldn't they?

Crops are only more successful than other species because of an artificial environment with pesticide and irrigation. There could be GMO crops that don't need anything manmade at all, but that'd be a waste of calories in plant gro

A lot of complexity could be eschewed if processors weren't faster than 100 Mhz.

License exceptions exist, including the "The Software shall be used for Good, not Evil" exception. It just wouldn't be free software anymore.

Word salad is remarkably similar to a low quality markov chain. Sometimes I question consciousness. And then I realize people demand so little that entertainment could be entirely automated in ten years.

Most people follow like minded people, become surprised when they have an unexpected opinion, and sometimes unfollow them. Not sure developing new social media would gain adoption.

Die area does impact latency, and by including popcount, you would be increasing gate count by a fraction of a full multiplier.

Have you heard of Murphy's law? Floating above Venus provides the benefits of a gravity well, but there's the danger of sudden buoyancy loss.

It sounds more like everyone is terrified of accusations of factionalism and being purged. But Valve is famous for their speed of work which would normally get people fired in different companies. They do make perfect games though.

If you fly the US flag, but claim no subdivision, one would have the benefits of citizenship without having to pay state and local taxes. As far as I can tell, registering a ship only requires citizenship, but it would make any dispute comp

Someone had to design the status page, and failed to anticipate the issue about how the status page depends on the systems it is reporting on. Unlikely the rest of AWS, a cached web page does not require much complexity.

Cloud status dashboards seem to be hosted on the same cloud, which doesn't say much about redundancy.
