> no amount of open source code can tell a company if the candidate can work with others and solve problems.

Balderdash. When was the last time an interview task involved working with others? I'd offer that open source PRs show this way better, and in an appropriate context (as a collaborator) rather than what we have now: adversarial interview{er,ee}s.

"national security crimes" are actually "political crimes". There's a reason many countries exclude both "crimes" from extradition treaties.

At least in the US, tax calculations may round all inputs to the nearest whole dollar.

Emphatically agree.

The git cli UX is terrible, cryptic, and forces one to think way too much. The number of GUI tools that wrap the git cli should tell us all something.

I Mercurial. It - manipulates the identical data structure (the DAG) - interops just fine with git (thanks hg-git plugin!) - its cli manages to use common sense verb names, by default, for all its functions - includes no unnecessary concepts/models (read: git's index)

Single room occupancy. A type of hotel, with shared bathrooms down the hall.

Here's an article from yesterday's NYT that has a historical background section about halfway down:

These findings should also apply to phone manufacturers -- mandate providing a more realistic number of years of security updates. Closer to 7y but definitely more than 3y.

Have both, still love my 15+yo Yaesu VX-5R way more than the UV-5R. I won't be getting more Baofengs.

Is there a similar project that releases current Android distros for post-end-of-support android phones?

Contract tracing != "gathering evidence of transmission in any particular location/context."

Instead, please think of it as "one of the most powerful, non-medicinal, mechanisms for interrupting disease transmission."

It accomplishes this through its overt actions: attempting to alter the behavior of potential and exposed contacts by encouraging quarantining for an appropriate length of time and to get tested if symptoms develop.

"Rationally designed" drugs do this now. An example: Exjade ;

Long before HFT firms, we had Market Makers -- they were often a separate department of the brokerage firm you were already using.

Therefore, Markets don't need HFT firms to provide this service, they simply coopted a friendly-sounding rationale in an attempt to dismiss skeptics.

This happens with automotive manufactures.

Vehicle breaks, the part or component that fixes it is unavailable/backordered/allocated for months+.

Manufacturers will offer to buy back the vehicle, at original sale price, rather than force you to wait (and relieving them from having to provide a loaner/rental).

Because I did.

The problem is CAPITALISM.

Capitalism prioritizes profits over people's lives.

If it were profitable to stockpile resources to protect life and/or property, in advance of foreseeable adverse events, we would be more prepared.

Precisely because it is not profitable, we are not.

Finally, free ticket changes & cancellations (read: usable travel insurance) to support the common good!

Us consumers should have demanded this a long time ago!

Talk about doubling down with nonsense when you've patently spelled it the wrong way. SMH.

I believe India may even be of more concern than Africa. Of the two, India has the older aged population.

I'd add that folks should not be forcing the use of git, even within an organization that uses it.

Mercurial works great, has a sane CLI and can both manipulate and interoperate with git repos.

Many of the tools mentioned, at their core, are manipulating the same DAG data structures.

Or that "people can't learn from mistakes"

It never ceases to amaze me that we allow our FCC to sell leases for so little. Instead of demanding companies share revenue or provide basic services for all for free, we allow this type of theft under colour of "fair governmental auction".

Remember, in the US, the FCC is only the current custodian of this shared property called the EM spectrum.

US citizens can and should take it back as their property, and demand all citizens profit equally from these auctions.

Other countries have declared internet access a basic human right... At a minimum that should be included in all future leases.

It's not "any other business"; it's a shared resource that improves the lives of all citizens. And we WANT it that way. "Any other business" would not offer or employ any of the features we expect from our Post Office (systemwide flat rate parcel & 1st class letter, 6d/wk delivery (for free!), lack of surge/congestion pricing). If you think UPS and FedEx aren't taking profit away from USPS think again.

> Stop rewarding it and they'll stop.

Stop categorizing it as a tax-deductible business "expense".

It's not a requirement for doing business, and it should not be treated as such.

> And we need to keep very hard working people motivated to keep working very hard by ensuring them that they will always keep the lions share of their labour's products.

you're joking with this part, amiright?

don't you think "very hard working people" receive more like the vulture's share, only after the lions have fully fed?

> the founders knew that if the majority of voters didn't have property then they would eventually just vote to take away the property of others.

That argument seems to fly in the face of the 5th Amendment:

"... nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."
