Sure. But do keep in mind that truly outrageous speech and behavior really does tend to have a devastating effect on the success of projects. We don't see that here because the speech really isn't outrageous or hurtful -- it'

I'm much more interested in protecting individual freedom of expression than I am with worrying whether there are people out there who are so crass as to collectively judge the entire field of software development. Code is speech. Open

It really does, in fact, work that way. Vulgar language is pretty common both in OSS and, perhaps surprisingly, in private codebases. I assume you don't subscribe to LKML, or have never read the linux kernel source? grep -ir fuck in li

We have a few people who wear suits, or nice dress shirts and slacks. It's just not a big deal. No one cares.

This is simply not true. Price has an enormous impact on units sold.

I understand your argument but frankly I don't buy it. I don't think filling up inefficient bins of food on closed tech campus is visible to anyone outside the company; I don't see the potential for impact. I'll be compl

Pardon, but it's very clear. Take a look at the charitable donation foundations at various tech companies, many of whom publish their donation levels. Or get out and talk to some charities in the area and ask them where their money com

I can't speak for other techies but I will never buy canned food for food drives. It's one of the least efficient ways to donate. Instead I write a check which helps far, far more. Here's an article on the subject: http:&#

Yes, I agree we do not provide adequate health care as we ought to.

I'm sympathetic to the issue of social equality, but depression resulting in suicide is not a rational process. Addressing class issues will not eradicate this problem. The wealthy become depressed and suicidal too, for example: http:

I believe it's illegal for the school to share that information with parents, provided the student is an adult and hasn't given consent.

Certainly it's a free speech issue if I took the picture of you, because you were naked in front of me?

I believe that's a recent requirement in California for new or updated dwellings. See R314.5: http://osfm.fire.ca.gov/firelifesafety/pdf/Smoke%20Alarm%20T... Also interesting is that quite a few municipalitie

The exact same force is used in seizing a hammer or other object as in seizing a house. In both cases law enforcement will eventually arrest you, put handcuffs on you and take you to jail if you do not comply. I mentioned the use tax, and t

I believe you're creating a distinction that doesn't exist. What is the difference, in your mind, between a hammer or other object being seized by authorities and a piece of real estate being seized by authorities? Your perspectiv

No way for me to know, but I doubt it. I'm talking about very small shops very out of the way, and quite a long time ago as well. I assume it was under the radar.

I have seen "frappuccinno" drinks offered for sale at more than a few local non-starbucks coffee shops over the years.

It's Taco Bell fast food. Food quality will be universally better if it doesn't rely on the local staff of minimum wage earning kids. Fresh and freshly cooked? You've clearly never eaten at a Taco Bell throughout the decades.

Hopefully better product results in greater profit, yes.

It's true, and Tesla appears to survive as a company regardless. I think the dynamic is a bit different for Amazon. The so-called risk wouldn't even potentially be borne by the user, which is much different from the Tesla case.

Human-driven delivery trucks hit and kill dogs, cats, men, women and children every day. On average, 16 people will die in any given day in a truck related crash. One in eight traffic fatalities involves a large cargo truck. Driving vehicle

Not wrong at all. He asked about LXC. Privilege restrictions are not part of LXC.

Yes, it is trivial for a root user in an LXC container to break out. One can load a kernel module from within a container, for example. LXC containers do not provide security partitioning at all.

Any equity stake is improved by work in the company. Your argument seems to be that the work isn't sufficient, but you're not being clear about where you draw the line. WRT #2, the impact on income when viewing a career over a lon
