At the bottom, under related coverage, I found a link to a subsequent article mentioning his return to the tribe. There is a video at the top of that article.

That assumption is predicated first on the idea that people can and will tell you their likelihood to recommend within a reasonable degree of accuracy. I don't think they do.

> If you believe in that core assumption that NPS measures word of mouth, then this interpretation of "likely to snag some other customers on my way out the door" is a sensible one.
But that's not the scale given to the respondent. The scale is given as going from "not at all likely" to "very likely" to recommend. There isn't an option for likely to recommend against. The low end of the scale probably captures some, but to assume it is near 100% is a mistake.
First, you start by assuming your customers can even reasonably ascertain their likelihood to recommend. They can't; there are people who answer 10 but will never recommend, and there are people who answer 0 but already have and will again.
Next, you assume your customers are idiots and don't know how an 11-point scale works by adjusting the midpoint: Instead of 5, the middle is now 7 and 8.
Then you realize there are two many numbers, so you throw several out by reducing your 11-point scale to a 3-point scale, after which you re-interpret "unlikely to recommend" as "likely to snag some other customers on my way out the door."
Finally you calculate your 'net promoters' by subtracting the percentage of low scores from the percentage of high scores to give you a nice round number that doesn't correlate with what's actually happening in the real world.
And this is just what happens when you do it 'the right way.'
NPS is said to measure growth using loyalty as a proxy. But then, what does that have to do with recommendations? Nothing.
I don't work for JPMorgan, but I experience this every day. My boss is in another state. Fellow team members are in other states. Folks in departments we work closely with are in other states or even countries.
The top brass loves to talk about the supposed benefits of talking shop with colleagues in line at the coffee shop in the lobby. But they tend to forget a few things: a) I'm not interested in talking shop standing in line for coffee, b) I'm not paid enough to live near or commute to HQ, and c) normies like me make up the majority of the company.
I like my job. I like my company. I just wish the bigwigs would get a clue that they don't, in fact, have all the answers, and they never will.

As for reclaiming a transferred copyright, it's possible, but complicated. It also takes at least 35 years, which is likely too long to be of practical use to most folks.
I still use Firefox, but I try to stay aware of changes, precisely because of Mozilla's privacy-leading gaffe record.

I wouldn't be surprised if your European bank still relies quite heavily on its mainframes. The mainframe offers high availability, reliability, and, contrary to popular belief, high throughput. Batch processing is just one thing they're good at; real-time processing at high speed is another.
This matters in a very meaningful way. Have you seen how many enterprising but clueless consumers click random buttons until whatever they are trying to do works? They often don't know or care about other ramifications until it's too late.
I host my instance on an always free VM, don't put much work toward maintenence, and haven't had a problem with federation. Post migration is not really a thing from a shared instance, I don't think, so yeah, that sucks.
Honestly, the most expensive part for me is the domain, because I shelled out for a spiffy premium domain. But I'm weird.
Toward the end of every year, I go through the ritual of preparing to move back to ledger and getting files ready. And shortly after the start of the year, I abandon it. Maybe one year I will stick with it. Maybe.

That said, agreed, I'm not sure what's left for the foundation to do without advocacy staff.
Secondary doesn't mean nonexistent, it comes after the primary thing, content creation.
When the Internet was younger, people willingly paid for privilege of sharing content. Creation was the primary motivation; costs were a secondary concern. I think it resulted in more and better communities than today, where people pull out all the stops to rake in the dough as the primary means of earning money.
It is, however, like we (in the US) wouldn't bring action in court. Ordinary consumers don't want to have to go to court to resolve a dispute with a merchant. Unless you have a substantial amount riding on the outcome, you're just going to lose, even if you win. It costs time and money to go to court. While you may legally have recourse with litigation, in practice, it doesn't usually work that way.
Often, I would arrive at the cardiology office having made my way through downtown traffic to find a parking space and walk across the pedway. Then I'd find a seat as far away as possible from all the noisy children there to remind me that I should be dead. No wonder my BP is higher than usual. And you're the one freaking out?
I got so used to nurses tossing out every recommendation for measuring BP that I started taking it myself at home before visits just to prove the point. Eventually, as I grew older, my BP rose to a point where it actually needed to be addressed. I am now on medication. But I have yet to find a nurse anywhere that has taken time to follow even one recommendation for properly taking BP.
Can anyone clarify what this actually means? Stripe offers a discount to nonprofits specifically for taking donations:

How is that not "donation-soliciting activities?"
If something is fast, it moves quickly or not at all. Cocktails can be garnished, but so can wages. Sales or trade of a product could be sanctioned by one country, but sanctioned by another.
I generally think it is a good thing to communicate clearly. Sometimes that means using words differently to explain something. Other times, that means using words the same way as others. I think this is a case of the latter.
Also, I think the idea of "native speaker" is a bit of a red flag. There are plenty of people that speak English from birth but are utterly unintelligible, and there are plenty of people that speak English as a second language who speak more clearly than those.
Selling a modified copy for a profit? Yes, that would be a violation of copyright. That's the distinction being made.

I believe separate keys for encryption and signing is the default in most implementations.
The next of claims seemed to begin to regurgitate the previous ones with some indiscerbable minute difference.
None of this sounds novel. I read another of their patents where they invented a directory backed DNS service and web browser connections. This company sounds like one massive troll.
Why else would one publish a key and make it discoverable, if not that it be used?
Btw, in Bash, you can use process substitution to avoid littering your folder with files, if you don't want to save them:
$ man <(curl ...)
There are already laws against theft. They apply to vehicles, secure and insecure alike.
A law mandating a minimum level of security, as GP suggests, seems to me to fit the suggestion, that auto manufacturers have a minimum standard to ethically sell a vehicle which buyers would, presumably, expect to have locking mechanisms suitable to prevent theft.
