The "murder, rape, and jaywalking" language used by the original complainants really raised red flags for me, as well. The fact that all of the accusers mention plagiarism, of all things, suggests they have an axe to grind and see this as a legitimate move in that fight.
This is not a constructive way to have a discussion, and is unwelcome on HN.

Yes, trivially so. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuous_truth
If accepting American or Russian help would have helped save Canadian homes and businesses, we would have. The South Africans are here for diplomatic reasons more than anything, and they arrived long after the critical period when we were trying to protect property and lives.
This isn't the California wildfires. It's not threatening populated areas anymore. It's burning in a vast expanse of unpopulated subarctic forest. It's fine. The damage is done; now we wait for it to burn out while keeping an eye out for the next one.
Believe me, we didn't turn down help out of pride. We have a ton of experience dealing with these things. We know when a fire is fightable, and when it isn't.
Glad to hear you're doing well.
The existence of the one doesn't invalidate the other. There's plenty of room in this industry for both types.
"Man, all the image hosts suck ass and get in the way of me just seeing the damned image. I'm gonna create a new one, without all the cruft!"
"This image host is going well, but the bills are killing me. We'll have to add ads, but obviously only where they're unobtrusive."
"We're still bleeding cash, but we've got a huge userbase. We need to monetize it better. We'll toss in a couple interstitials to drive up ARPU."
"Man, all the image hosts suck ass and get in the way of me just seeing the damned image. I'm gonna create a new one, without all the cruft!"
Which you say, sincerely, because you're a liberal and the GOP is the other "team" or "tribe". There are plenty of us who don't think of ourselves as Democrats who see plenty of insanity on the left--look at the resurgence of socialism or the social justice crowd on campus and in the media.
Both parties have completely lost touch with voters, which is why we saw populist insurgencies in both. If there were more candidates in the Democratic primaries, we could just as easily have seen a Sanders nomination as we did a Trump one.
Claiming that political insanity is endemic to only one side ignores the batshit lunacy emanating from both camps.
If you're a liberal and you want to watch news that doesn't offend you, you can choose from any of the major networks save Fox. If you're a conservative and want the same, you're stuck with Fox.
Given how much liberal outlets scoff at the notion of there being a pervasive liberal bias in the MSM, I suspect they legitimately just don't see it as they're surrounded by people with the same political views and so are predisposed to believing that's what "normal" is.
Other than that, it's their platform and their company. They can run it however they want.
You could probably remove anything that had onscroll functionality defined, and just accept that it would break some websites.

It's simply poor fact-checking by the Guardian.
>“We don’t take too big a bite,” Koslow said. “We do it incrementally.”
So, by following standard software development best practices, they avoid the massive failures that characterize large government contracts. Who'd have thunk it?
Better yet, make each canary in the form of an original haiku.

I'm sure there'd be a GoFundMe up within minutes that would collect enough money to cover the salaries of a few engineers while the court battle plays out. Afterward, go back to work for Apple.
