Outside of the other concerns people have raised, it is important to remember even if all parents are making the right choice for their kids, it isn't always (and in many cases, isn't) the parent making this decision. For example,

I assume it is hyperbolic. The OP clearly has issue with the Go language. The rant contains the common misunderstandings about it (no generics, must be bad), etc. Go has survived 11 years without generics (they might be coming) and underpin

Your first statement is not true, at least in the US. Copyright gives the holder the rights over the ability "to perform the copyrighted work publicly" (directly from US law). The wording from the law on public performances: &quo

There are two aspects to the comment though: 1. Did they access services/data as part of this? 2. Can/did they use what they got to impact customers/gain access to customer data. The comment in the article speaks to #1. And o

I've worked in big companies like Microsoft, so can only comment from that perspective. Due to their size, they often do not have MFA regardless of location. Many didn't even use MFA. Most have been moving there, but it was long,

Slack uses Chime under-the-hood for meetings. So, people are still using Chime. This was announced at re:invent today.

If you are in the US, it doesn't necessarily matter whether the terms would hold up in court. The question comes down to how deep your pockets are and how much money you are willing to spend to fight Apple. Apple certainly has deep poc

I'm not sure more time makes it better. The logic here is that they baited you for so long that it suddenly became fair? Apply that logic to other situations and it doesn't make sense. I get that `you` may be ok with this, but it

I think it is that they were forced to kill themselves. So 20 at once, rather than one at a time.

And I'd disagree. Numerous engineers of differing skill levels (what I deal with day to day), struggle significantly when map/filter are added into the mix. And we may say "get better engineers", but we don't have t

They don't run 100% on renewable electricity. They offset their non-renewable by buying RECs, which allows them to claim they are 100% renewable. RECs work by allowing you to use non-renewable energy (from the coal power plant that i

As someone that bought the first Android phone and now has an iPhone...it is extremely noticeable how much better Android is on these fronts. But depending on the person that gap may not be important. For me, it is night and day. I felt Goo

Theft and attempted theft are criminal acts, which is what he was sentenced for. He was also subject to civil litigation.

This feels a bit misleading. Both Microsoft and Google still use fossil fuels for their data centers. I understand the "value" of RECs, but it definitely doesn't mean your data center is actually powered by renewable or &qu

It depends on where you live. Where I live, I certainly am legally able to block the road as an individual. I have to do so peacefully and if I'd like to do more, file the appropriate permit. But I certainly can. I don't have to t

In a free democracy, it actually kind of does. As long as it is done peacefully and with willingness to engage in open dialogue. The ability to influence the powerful and rich requires being able to force their hand to have discussions. Wit

Awesome! I could have built this with what I have at home, but I purchased because this is something worth supporting.

I agree AWS can do a lot better with the tooling UX, but adding write permissions like this is a conscious decision. In this case, someone purposefully added it (outside the creation UX flow). I'm not sure we can put the blame squarely

But they are quite different. There are languages that are tightly coupled, but not true of all (like Go). You could write all your applications in the Go Language, but use a transpiler. And as other comments call out, it is important to no

staying with the theme of the article, by doing this repair as goodwill, it changes how they have to report it (if at all). So if there really would need to be a recall to fix a fault/safety issue with the exterior door handle, the dat

Though I'm not necessarily disagreeing, eliminating direct taxation is more complex than just giving oversight to states. If a state can say, "no, not giving you money unless we get it back", it becomes a lot harder for the c

Because flash was a plugin, not locked to that one little game. Once you install it, every website could use it. A lot was done, by browsers, over the years to try and give more control to the end-user, but Adobe didn't have too much i

I would just say that usage isn't equivalent to want. I certainly can't put a number on it, but there is definitely quite a few of us that use Java because we are required to, not because it is what we want or the best tool for th

This assumes it is really that simple. You are adding a manual, human process. Humans make mistakes. Humans can intentionally make mistakes. Barcodes fall off, get defaced, etc. Those barcodes, hardware and software require money and up-kee

I'd like to believe stores were setup in that fashion, but we've known for a long time that isn't true. It benefits the store, not serve customers. A good example from Costco: https://www.businessinsider.com/c

https://aws.amazon.com/workspaces/ perhaps? Seems like that is the existing AWS option similar to this offering. Would neat to see a comparison between the two.

I don't think this analogy works. For Fastmail, there is a cost regardless of whether you want to access government data. You have to pay for the account itself. For most cloud providers, there is zero cost for having an account. Even
