Probably because they use some kind of automated testing framework, so they don't need to have an actual human sitting there the entire time clicking on things.
So that's what you need to do to get Apple to fix your bug. A couple years I found a bug in their version of sqlite3, it stopped accepting international characters (chinese, japanese, specifically). I tried to submit a bug via their bug reporting console, and I got this error message. So I sent an email to the address listed there, explaining the situation, and I got a response,
"Please report that through our bug console." The console was still broken.
And I have a hunch that exactly the same is going to happen when disaster strikes those that now ignore any warnings, build at the beach front and then suddenly stand in 20 feet of water.
Except no scientist is predicting the oceans will rise 20 feet.
No one says that. Scientists say that climate change is a significant contributing factor.
What scientists say that? There was a story here on Slashdot not long ago analyzing quite a number of extreme weather events, and deciding that none of them could be attributed to AGW.
Furthermore, things like the current California storm are primarily a result of El Nino, and it's not clear at all how AGW will effect El Nino.
And a follow up, why not spend some of RedHat's money on a sane init system?
Many many people have tried, many smart people have tried, and no one has ever come up with something satisfactory. Look at any of the many init systems, and there are always complaints. It's a tough problem.
For a USA equivalent, imagine if if Connecticut, Long Island and New Jersey were covered in dirty industrial plant while New York City was trying to improve its air quality. They wouldn't succeed.
Cities in California's central valley get upset when the EPA blames them for smog that blows out of the Bay Area, actually.
If it's true. (I'm not saying it's untrue, just that it's an unsubstantiated, unverified claim.)
We don't really gain much either way from doubting it, and it is substantiated that she has put a lot of time and effort into the project. So from that alone she deserves respect.
I don't know much about the situation, but look at this quote:
[The Libreboot maintainer] Leah Rowe has even spent in excess of 100,000 USD of her own money to have new hardware ported to both coreboot and libreboot, to further the cause. She has spent countless sleepness days and night to keep this project afloat.
That's hardcore. She deserves respect for her hard work and contribution.
and Stallman is talking as if Leah can't go back to her original project.
No, you understood it wrong. She of course can go back to her original project. The question is whether that will cause a fork, or if GNU would close down their 'branch' of the project.
She cannot force everyone else (or anyone else) to stop working on their own branch of the project, because that is what the GPL (and open source more generally) is designed to allow.
Slashdot Mirror
Never seen one denier demand the error bars off a Monckton graph or a WTFUWT graph.
I don't typically read either of their outputs.
Why was this setting enabled in the first place?

Learn the difference between contribute and attribute. It's significant.
If you can't answer the question, "How much did it contribute?" then all you have is a hypothesis.
There's huge uncertainty in the amount of warming that is supposed to result from CO2 being added to the atmosphere.
More importantly, not adding error bars makes it look like you're an undergrad, and don't even deserve the title 'scientist.'
But we can look at the trend and say "gee, there's 20x more events now than there used to be".
What weather trend are you talking about here?
No one says that. Scientists say that climate change is a significant contributing factor.

It would be more convincing if they had error bars on those numbers.
It's like someone is trying to typo-squat Alibaba.
Perhaps so.
after all these years, GTK file open dialog still sucks.
lol, so true.
Is there an anti-discrimination law that bans certain types of speech? Mostly I think they ban actions.
You sure it wasn't Hilary Clinton acting like an ignorant git over the Crimea issue that had him disliking her?
Probably not, she wasn't secretary of state then. It's John Kerry you're looking for.
Losing jobs in America for essentially zero benefit. That's basically why.
it's has some overlap with macOS (but systemd does more).
In fact, systemd is completely, and unabashedly inspired by OSX, as can be seen in this blog post. Specifically, this video was inspiration for systemd. That is not necessarily a problem, it's good to share ideas around.

As soon as you give it some kind of wireless, the battery starts draining fast.
Worth mentioning that while pollution can cause health problems, poverty causes health problems too.
Yeap. You are correct. But having a default position of being generous with respect is also good.

It just means patent lawyers will be more careful how they structure their contracts from now on.
