    Very easy. Every time I have been arrested the police always give me 48 hours notice. Plenty of time to disable faceID.

    Who cares? Good luck trying to avoid a search warrant by not cooperating.

    Maybe the FBI gives up after one try. "Meh, Joe, doesn't seem to be working. Lets just go."

    Yes they will use their hands to open your eyes. They will make you try again after you open them. Thanks for all the questions though, very entertaining. You forgot to ask "what if I rip my eyes out? Will they make my put them back in?"

    Right. Because that is what we are talking about. What a nut.

    Yes it does. I know, again, hard to believe. But in the real world it actually happened! I am glad you guys are such experts though.

    You cannot avoid it by closing your eyes. They will make you try again after you open them. I know, those FBI guys are such sticklers for detail and stuff.

    Believe it or not, the FBI would make you open your eyes and try again. I know, hard to believe! But you know, they have a signed warrant and stuff so they will make you try again. I know, again, hard to believe you can't defy a signed warrant by closing your eyes.

    I am talking about the GPL specifically. It is irrevocable. There is a clause in the GPL that states that. Licenses can be revoked as long as there is no "consideration" involved. I'm not a lawyer though so I really don't know what I am talking about.

    Is what worse? Working there? No idea. I was talking about innovation, not your easily hurt feelings.

  12. I find that calling someone "stupid" (even yourself) is offensive and the imagery of "hitting with a mallet" is extremely violent. He shouldn't be allowed to work on open source projects.

    Companies are usually started by people who actually care about the company. Once they leave they are replaced by managers and MBA and accounting types who are in it to make money for themselves. I won't pretend that company founders aren't interested in making money too, but they usually want more out of it. Just look at Apple and Microsoft: not much going on once the founders left. The companies still make mountains of money though, because that is the focus.

  15. I think that is what I said. Having a joint ain't no felony though.

  17. It is legal, man. Federal law enforcement officers aren't allowed to respond to these calls anyway.

  18. Cops have better things to do than setting up hipsters with Apple Watches. I would be pissed if an automated system was calling emergency services though and there was no emergency.

  19. Re:let them pay you on New Web Site Will Team Journalists With Programmers (sfgate.com) · · Score: 2

    If you read carefully, what they want to get is hired into tech companies to "help" engineers "understand" the consequence of their creations. More make work for people who can't get jobs and don't want to do real work. This has been creeping into tech lately. A lot of people want to get into these companies because there is a lot of money to be made, but they have no real skills, so they use this as a wedge to get themselves in the door.

  20. A joint isn't a crime, man. It is just a plant. In many states in the US it is legal as well. A joint will only get you a misdemeanor at most, not a felony as the lawyer claims.

    If any court allowed you to retroactively change a license or contract it would destabilize everything. What if I built a product on your GPL code and you decided to retroactively change the license? You can change it going forward, but not backward. I don't know any court that would allow changing licenses retroactively to happen. A person could definitely walk away though, or even change the license of their code in subsequent releases. This has happened many times.

    I'm pretty sure no-takesies-backsies is universal. Just kidding. I have a hard time believing that someone can change a license retroactively on a particular version once it has been licensed. If I built a product based on your GPL code and then you decided to retroactively change the license that would cause material harm. You can change the license going forward, but I don't think you can change it for already licensed versions.

    The CoC has nothing ot do with if you can rescind your code or not. You can't. If you submitted it as GPLv2 then it is always available to be included in GPLv2 code. You can change the license, but that only applies to versions going forward. The license is all that matters.

    That makes no sense. Let's say Tesla made 100,000 cars instead of 50,000 this quarter. Would you have bought more? What if they lost $10,000 on each car they produced? Just because some company "meets" some fake (always changing) production number makes no difference. I would say an active SEC investigation looking to remove the CEO, and a couple of potential DOJ investigations are more relevant.

    Ford also makes about $1.5 billion in profit every quarter. But they aren't going to take us to Mars like Musk is, so who cares?
