This definitely gets said a lot, but I am not sure it's a meaningful thing to say. After all, something like 20% of emissions come from agriculture. If you count that as industrial emissions (surely it is an industry) then it must dwar

Is grossly underestimated by whom? Oh, by just random people off the street? I am not sure why we are surprised that people with no expertise on the topic have absolutely no idea what affects their carbon footprint.

If the markup is not semantically a table, then CSS grid is probably the correct approach. If the content really is a table, then it is very hard to imagine how making an entire row into a link could be meaningful. In the GitHub table, for

It's hard to distinguish this comment from a troll response. But just to deal with the factual claim: > When you submit a PR to a business’s intellectual property, it’s still theirs. Nope, contributions do not "belong" to

The quoted comment does say > Unfortunately, they have already merged a version of this code into the private gitea repo and are charging $$ for it. So if they can be trusted at face value, "a version of this code" means it&#

GitHub's TOS include a clause that says you agree your PRs are under the same license as the project ("license in = license out"). I don't know what happens if you assert a specific license that contradicts that. It woul

The specific outrage in this case is that the open core doesn't get the feature, even though it was developed by an outsider. That is certainly not common, and not the expectation of contributors.

I really can't make sense of what you wrote here. "taking advantage of short term manipulations in supply and demand" - assuming by "manipulations" you just mean "changes" here (since I don't really k

There is no objective difference between finding the balance of supply and demand and price gouging.

Every external service you integrate is adding a small, non-zero, compounding probability of finding yourself in exactly this situation.

That sounds even better?

Surely it must be at least fifty percent correct, since you grant the first clause :) Of course the duty does not extend to committing crimes. I was being a bit cynical. You are right that profit maximisation and fiduciary duty are distinct

If you properly punish the shareholders, then it doesn't matter if they stop or don't. If they stop, the bad behaviour stops; if they continue, the onerous penalties continue. Anybody who wants to sponsor bad behaviour with their

> Hurting those owners, who didn't have any say in the bad decisions Why do you think this? Executives have a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders, so if these actions are more profitable, they are legally required to perf

perhaps it's objectively bad, but subjectively good?

Actually, I concede. I just didn't spot that.

This is addressed if you chase down the original kernel mailing list thread (the "flamewar" linked in the article). It was important to Linus that the macro was actually min/max and not min_slong max_uint etc, so that people

First solution (IMO 2002) is completely wrong. It shows that 1,2,3 cubes are not sufficient, and provide an obstacle that doesn't rule out 4 cubes, but does not prove that there actually are 4 cubes that sum to the given number. This

What is disingenuous about being a repair parts company that lobbies for devices that are easier to repair? From where I'm standing they are being completely genuine: They profit when people are able to buy repair parts, and they advoc

If consciousness (whatever it is) takes energy to be generated, there is no mechanism we can conceive of that would account for that energy. Obviously it could be some exotic sensation that has nothing to do with the physical world, but if

Yeah, it's a good show. I just mean that regarding the original point (tech workers fantasising about farms are deluding themselves) the counter "they are thinking of something like Clarkson's farm" still conforms with t

Worth noting that Clarkson's farm would have been a catastrophic failure but for the money pumped into it by the TV show.

I agree with the other commenters that this is obscure. I coincidentally heard the term for the first time about 3 days ago (in the context of "socialism by fin-de-siècle" - the expectation that communism was inevitable among the

I think you have made your position unnecessarily confusing by bringing "good" into it. You have entered a conversation about changing the music industry so that it provides a greater reward to certain artists that it currently do

So your original argument is "if an artist is [commercially successful] then they'll be commercially successful"?

I think as soon as you say "the game relies on an online service" it's exempt from the provisions of this initiative. Of course anything can be pretended to be an online service (that's the whole point of SaaS) but all t
