Developers should use whatever platform they are most comfortable with.
Where I work, all of our code is designed to run on Linux, but all the developers ran Windows. Things were messy, because everyone created a tool chain around Windows (VMs with mounted shares, dev tools run locally on Windows, etc.), which did not work in production. When I came in and moved the toolchain to Linux, the integration became much nicer, because I could target Linux, but hand those tools off to the Windows users expecting minimal cross-platform fuss.
It's different enough to be frustrating (which is the best anyone can ever claim for Windows), but it definitely provided a lot of real value to us.
"Enterprise" is a marketing term. It has no technological meaning. The "real" Linux is the one with the capabilities you need. If you need RedHat, then it's because you have incompetent tech workers who need a support contract, not because you need "real" Linux.
More than likely, this is Apple PR operating in an echo chamber. The engineers have been compelled to paint rosy pictures, so PR is operating from Apple's own misinformation. It is not CR's responsibility to fix that.
CR is far more trustworthy than Apple. There is little reason to trust Apple on this. CR has been doing this shit for decades on myriad models. To suggest Apple knows better is to suggest Apple game the system.
I believe the logic would imply it was ok for auto companies to put oil changes behind some DRM key, so that you must take it to the dealership to get a change.
That's ridiculous on its face. Counter-example: I give you an ounce of gold and you give me a laptop. Extend that example to any comparable cashless payment platform.
Google is primarily a data analytics company. Any products which aren't directly tied to collecting, analyzing, and disseminating data are just side projects for Google to see if they can quickly take advantage of thier data to create new technologies.
If the service with human cashiers and cart management were the same quality as that provided by robots and self-storage of carts, then I might be compelled to do the same, but it is not my place to accept poor service to subsidize human labor.
According to Intuit, profit from selling BTC is taxed like income, holding BTC which is increasing in value is taxed as capital gains, and "earning" BTC through mining is taxed as revenue which can be offset by mining costs: https://turbotax.intuit.com/ta...
I've purchased 2 laptops, a desktop, and a small form factor machine from System 76. They've been solid, but nothing really to call home about. The first laptop (Gazelle) had a touchpad that was shifted a bit off to the left. I understand the design decision to put the touchpad centered below the keyboard letters, but it took a while to get used to. The second laptop (Lemur) was great. For desktop, I have a Ratel. When it arrived I noticed the case was bent a bit. I couldn't tell if it was from shipping or due to bad assembly with the power supply, but it functioned just fine, so I never contacted their support team. The one annoyance I had was that I upgrade it to include WiFi, but it never really got good reception, so I ended up moving the machine next to my router and connecting over ethernet. The small form factor (Meerkat) machine has been great. All of the machines were blazing fast, though I attribute that to running a clean Ubuntu install more than anything.
That's one reason to go public. Many companies (especially in Silicon Valley) go public to provide a payout to the VCs and founders. Best case scenario, the IPO is properly priced, everyone gets paid, and the public has an investment that is worth something.
I've never worked at a company here in San Diego that deducted PTO for sick days. You just take the days off as needed. PTO is for planned vacation only, usually.
Slashdot is conservative, but UBI is the conservative alternative to the welfare state. It's the liberals who seem more opposed to the idea, typified by their distaste for getting rid of means testing. God forbid government benefits are distributed equally with no regard to income.
Apple phones are made by Samsung and other mobile manufacturers. Qualcomm is one of the biggest mobile processor makers in the world, even though they are fabless. That's just the reality of modern, global industry.
Self-driving cars absolutely must not rely on map data or GPS to operate properly. A self-driving car must be able to read road signs and traffic conditions at least as well as a human in order to claim the title self-driving. Not to say a self-driving car might not still make the same mistake, but if it makes the mistake 100% of the time due to incorrect map data, it is not a self-driving car. It's a particularly advanced rail system.
It's a problem of deadlines. Don't set them. Don't ask for them. Time should never be discussed. Any manager who discusses time with their programmers isn't doing their job properly.
You begin your statement by framing warming as a problem, which completely dismisses any view that warming eixists, and is caused by man, but isn't something to be concerned about.

Absolutely. That's why all the gays died out long ago.

If you can't figure out the icons on the left of the screenshot are clickable, you don't have any business commenting on UI design.

Not in a room full of civilians. I no more have to listen to the president than I do the janitor.
Interstate commerce is the purview of the federal government. The state of MI cannot make it against the law for me to buy a car direct from CA.

Not in a free capitalist society. In any case, it will require a socio-economic revolution to address.

So, you systematically evaded taxes for 5 years, and that makes you angry at the government?

You mean like when they use Muhammad Ali instead of Cassius Clay? SJWs did that?

No, but a performer has no expectation of privacy, which is typically the rule of thumb used when determining if recording is permitted.
