It's why companies like the BSD. And history shows it's not that they don't give back (Look at FreeBSD's commits from corporations) it's that they don't like being strong armed into nothing
I'd say its more a lawyer thing than anything. The engineers want to give back. But the GPL terrifies the lawyers because they seem to think it means you have to. Heres the thing you ONLY have to if the end result is being distributed, and even then your only obliged to provide source access to whoever you've distributed to. And the vast majority of code written, generally is in house for in house use only, with the possible exception of website javascript.
But I've worked in places where we're just writing inhouse scripts for automating little tasks and I've asked the boss if I could sanitize the script and open source it because its really interesting and hasnt got anything thats a trade secret or patentable, and when it comes to licenses I explain them and the GPL scares the hell out of them, but they like the BSD because its pretty much just public domain with a few legal protections thrown in. But really theres no reason to fear the GPL, as long as your not being shifty, and theres absolutely nothing to say the version of the code you use internally on your own machines needs to be exposed.
Stop throwing up flak. There's no evidence of that. There IS however a very serious investigation by republican appointed investigators lead by a republican , Mueller, that is strongly indicating that certain factions within trumps team did infact collide with a hostile foreign power to rig the election. Let's stick to what we know instead of throwing up smokescreens based on lazy conspiracy theories

Well technically without the 1800s, we'd have no discovery of absorbsion and emission spectra, and thus we would never have proved climate change was being caused by humans. And for that matter the discovery of the greenhouse effect itself in the late 1800s
Up until recently Waze kept sending cars down a spagettiish back alley around the corner from me, that turned into a narrow footpath at the end. By the time the car got to the foot part they've turned two 90 degree turns that are almost impossible to back out of. The houses along there all have knocked over fences and other damage from cars trying to bash their way back out, and the old boy whos caretaker at the freemason hall next to the footpath had a motorist threaten him if he didnt open up the driveway through the yard of the hall.
Waze was creating some serious chaos back there. It seems to have stopped recvently though
Presumably this isn't designed for TCP/IP style internet transmission but rather the S7 network, or whatever it is they use in the 4G/LTE era.
Regardless, a standard isn't much of a standard if it isn't supported. XMPP is an awesome protocol, my last company was premised around it, and Ideally it IS what should be used, but we can moan and complain all we want about "standards"., but it Android and IOS use something else, then whatever that something else is, its the real standard.
(For reference I'm fairly sure facetime uses SIP/RTP and the desktop component at least of iMessage uses XMPP, but I may be wrong about that. Both are closed communication networks and likely embraced and extended beyond recognition regardless)
November came and went, with no Storm in sight. Why are you not doing the sums and realising this is some super-crazy nonsense.

Oh and while we're at it, that guy who keeps posting the increasingly banal frog meme on your favorite/pol/ pictureboard is probably your grandfather, in between shitting the bedpan and trying to feel up the duty nurse, Which is to say, he's getting more action than you despite carrying around a load in his slacks
Fixing a reef isn't an easy task. Fixing a reef 344,400 square kilometres in size is quite another.
The principle problem is that increased CO2 in the atmosphere is basically acidifying the ocean, so to remove the cause of the damage would require some pretty serious geo-engineering. It's practically teraforming.
There are stopgap measures, involving growing coral in nurseries and transplanting them back over the bleached and dead corals (Just glue those puppies back in. Seriously), but due to the sheer scale of the task this might only be practical in some key tourist areas.
More long term solutions might involve generating GMO corals with better resilience against acidification, and higher temperature variation tolerances, because its probably going to take a very long time for the oceans Ph to return to acceptable levels (Im not sure on this point, but it seems fairly straigthforward that without physically adding in billions of tonnes of Ph buffers one must assume the natural mechanisms would be slow, as nature is want to be).
But if we're honest, not a lot other than trying to stop the bleeding at the source and quit pumping shit into the atmosphere and oceans,
Given the "ups and downs" of long term cyclical temperature shifts over the last 10-15,000 years, how can that conclusion be justified?
Because we have an accurate picture of a very long picture of climate variation, and what is happening clearly is not global warming.
Remember, its the "climate change isnt man made" people that have the burden of proof here, because thats a huge claim. For this to be true, a mechanism must exist that stops Carbon Dioxide absorbtion spectra from working. This would represent a massive shift in physics, chemistry, astronomy. earth sciences and undo over 200 years of fundamental physics. Oh and you'd also have to come up with a reason why physics only looks like it works. Since scientists first warned about the greenhouse effect in the late 1800s after the discovery of CO2 absorbsion lines in the spectra, multiple fields of science have built their discoveries on that very science in almost all fields. So theres the thing. Whats the mechanism thats stopping all that CO2 from behaving according to conventional physics. The basic laws of thermodynamics says that energy has to go SOMEWHERE, be it thermal (warming), kinetic (storms, cyclones etc) or in the oceas. It goes SOMEWHERE. So whats your counter theory? Why are two centuries of scientists wrong?
PS: Theres probably a Nobel prize in this.
After all, during the last ice age there was no "Great Barrier Reef" as the sea-level was some 50 meters lower than now.

I should note your always better off with Apple authorised repair dudes than the Apple Genius Bar. The financial incentive for Apple is to not give free shit away so they are pretty ruthless with invalidating warranties. However the authorised repair centres don't get paid if they don't do a repair. So there's an incentive there to overlook the occasional problems pinked out liquid sensor (which can often just be a sign of humidity in some places) or overlooking a home installed memory stick or whatever
Apple care coverage doesn't cover user broken. Screens , water damage or actually much at all. I've yet to get Apple to explain to me precisely what the warranty gives me not already covered under Australian mandatory lifetime warranties

Donâ(TM)t just make shit up. The Rohingya have been there at least 5000 years in the regi M of Burma that was once the kingdom of Arakan (the other word for Rohingan are Arakans). The Rohingans had 200 documented generations of Kings , and the earliest Rohingan/Arakan temples in Burma are dated to at least 3000 BC.
They are native and have no ancestors anywhere else outside of the old Arakan kingdom , what we now call Rashin state , Burma
So please before you post again I suggest you read some more
Rohingya are not "refugees from another country". They are native to the Rakine region of Burma , speak their own language unique to the Rakine/Arakan region and have been there for at least 5000 years (The age of the oldest known Rohingya temples in burma).
Religiously, they are mostly Sufi (Sufi is kind of the 'hippy' wing of Islam, meditation, mysticism etc, peaceful people) but there are christians, budhists and hindus there.
Bitcoin is an inherently deflationary currency thats been in almost permanent recession since it first got hype. The thing is , what makes a currency good to invest in is somewhat the opposite of what makes a currency good for an economy. When an economy is working, the dollar will buy less and less over time, commensurate with the increase in money flowing in the economy. But bitcoin is hard wired to a very slow increase in money supply and has no financial instruments capable of stimulating that supply of money. This is counter intuitive to a lot of people, but if you look at how real money actually works, you can see its true. In the good times, theres lots of inflation,. both in the price of things, but also in peoples wages. When that trend reverses, we have a depression on our hands(assuming that trend lasts a few quarters, I believe).
