How can they restrict access to authorized developers but also use the MIT license? Can't any authorized developer simply post the code on the internet?

I think there are a lot of better options if that's what you want. From what I've seen the appeal of the Flipper is that you can do a bunch of fun stuff with a super easy to use interface (just select the thing you want to do and

the whole point of the flipper is the sub-1ghz radio and nfc/rfid capabilities. It's not really intended to be used as a general purpose computer, it's more like a really extensible radio

So to be clear, I fully believe that the leadership of the ASA would try to undermine open-access publishing for no other reason than it threatens their own cushy jobs.

I have a friend who works at one of these scientific societies (not the ASA). It's a complete scam - the organization hasn't done anything to advance the field since before any of use were born, and basically just exists to pay t

Given that the people who sit in meetings all day are also the ones who have most of the power, probably yes.

Meetings all day is the job for execs, though. That's why they all favor return to office.

by s17n 3y ago
People ascribe all kinds of bad motivations (ego, stupidity, etc) to execs who want a return to office but there's a much more obvious and reasonable explanation - if your job consists of sitting in meetings all day, work is much, much

All these companies saw Snowflake's success and thought, "we want to use some kind of usage based pricing scheme to capture the value that we provide". Implicit in this thought process is that the price should scale in an un

Is it true that "traffic is evaporating" for smaller sites? I'd love to see some numbers. Keep in mind that overall traffic on the internet was orders of magnitude lower back in the heyday of quirky personal sites.

It's how react works, though, and react is absolutely dominant... do you think that's despite the "terrible idea"?

That is already how property tax works, except in California. I think most people agree that the California system is a disaster.

People were pretty surprised by the Wright flyer. Confidence is built by experience, not theoretical understanding.

It would be nice if they offered pay per view access for those of us who only want to watch live tv maybe a couple times a year. I can see why they don’t bother though (obviously no real money in it).

Equitable, adj: fair and impartial. If you actually believe that legacy admissions are a fair and impartial way to decide who gets to go to Harvard, I'm not really sure what to say.

I don't usually downvote posts, but this article is just garbage - a rant about "the cargo cult of scale" but no actual arguments as to why Postgres is better than redis or sqs or anything else. The main reason that people d

There isn’t really anything that you could actually use the old behavior for, any code that depends on it is probably wrong anyway.

Given that Signal's main innovation (compared to traditional end to end encryption) was to safeguard its users against future compromises via the ratchet protocol, this actually seems like a logical move for them to make.

What's going to happen to the money? The only reason I can think of to auction the bikes instead of donating them to another museum is that whoever controls the organization is planning to basically appropriate the cash.

I doubt it, especially if you make the executives personally liable. There are lots of other profitable things that companies generally don't do because they are illegal.
