It's been clear for a long time that GitHub didn't have a sustainable business model.
And you know this how? Do you have access to their internal finances?
Suddenly being owned by MS isn't going to fix their "giving away services for free" business model and MS isn't exactly known for it's altruism.
The "free services" model was for open source projects. They also provided paid services for corporations. $7.5 billion is a LOT for a company that isn't making money and whose clients can easily move elsewhere if they don't like the direction that Microsoft takes.
So everyone with a Hispanic name must be an illegal immigrant!
So you're from the Cathy Newman school of argument, right? You're pathetic strawman removes all the context.
If you think the police are lenient on illegal immigrants you live in some sort of fantasy world of right-wing talking heads.
You're in Denial World, with blinders on to the current zeitgeist. Whether it's the "sanctuary" state, to the obstruction of justice tip-off mayor, to the cucked citizenry's failure to deliver even a manslaughter verdict.
If he's an illegal immigrant maybe they are going to not bother with the paperwork of citation and just deport him?
Wow, just wow. One, what makes you think they'd even be able to find him again? Two, what makes you think they have any desire to deport him, given the current zeitgeist? Three, if they wanted to deport him, the first step would have been to cite him. Driving without a license is against the law. Getting him into the system would have been the necessary first step to deportation, but only a first step, and hardly a guarantee.
You don't show any proclivity for an honest attempt at dialog, which requires reading, understanding, and acknowledging, but in the off-chance you decide to show some intellectual integrity, here's an article on the reality of deporting illegal immigrants.
You seem to have confused state with a few cities.
You seem to be woefully ignorant. A quick web search would have spared you some embarrassment.
Wow, just wow. California is flooded with illegal immigrants. They openly brag about taking over the state. And the useful idiots hold the door open. But you're not racist, right? God forbid a stereotype is actually true.
Do you actually think anybody else would have been allowed to flip his car, crash into a police car, send 3 police into the hospital, all without a license, and not even been cited? Even if by some off-chance he's here legally, the police would have assumed he's an illegal. They can't even inquire about immigration status.
We have a state that's declared itself a "sanctuary" state, with an Oakland mayor who committed obstruction of justice by tipping off a Fed raid, with a cucked citizenry that won't even convict a murderer of manslaughter.
Hispanic name, unlicensed driver? It's a safe assumption. Kinda like it's a safe assumption that when "Mohamed" goes crazy and kills somebody in public that it's extremely likely to be an act of terrorism. Do you think anybody else would not even be cited for flipping their car, sending 3 police officers to the hospital, and not having a license? This is California we're talking about, here.
The link you cite says the crash is still under investigation. He hasn't been cited yet.
Yes, they need to "investigate" that he was driving fast enough to flip his car and that he did not have a license. Oh, wait, they already knew that at the scene.
How many human drivers safety passed that cop car without ramming into it?
In other news, an unlicensed driver crashed into a parked cop car, flipped his car, and then struck 3 officers, injuring them. "The driver, Hugo Pineda Jr., 20, of Highland, was not injured. He was questioned but not arrested or cited at the time although authorities did say he was unlicensed."
Welcome to the "sanctuary" state of California, where illegal ("undocumented") immigrants will not even be cited for reckless driving while driving without a license.
No, the question is. Will be be around to see these recover?
Unless we kill ourselves with a bioweapons or nuclear war, more than likely, yes. As a species, we are supremely capable of adaptation. And despite all the hysteria around climate change, the most likely scenario is a few feet of sea rise over a century. If we wanted to, we could take steps now to prevent that, steps that wouldn't rely on re-engineering the world's economy.
The article hints at it, but we as a species have been through much worse without our modern technology. Sea levels rose about 400 feet in the last 10,000 years after massive glaciers that covered the northern hemisphere retreated. Now that's climate change!
Propping up the coal industry should make this point plain as day to rational observers. Coal has a load of negative externalities
Missing from this argument are the externalities that come from renewables, in particular rare earth minerals.
Also missing from this argument is the actual national security reason given for saving coal plants: reliability. Unlike natural gas, coal fuel can be stored on site.
I think you've missed the point. Bad Things (TM) that happened in another country are unlikely to be relevant.
Why? You can trace everybody's arc of history and find some "Bad Things". The point is that we don't play the forever oppressed game, when people all over have rose above their shitty starting position.
I'd agree, though, that moving on and dealing with the causes (mostly poverty and discrimination)
That's your assumption and playing the victim, denying self-agency and assigning the blame to others.
Which is why you don't do it yourself and back up your claims, right? It's not my job to substantiate your huffing and puffing.
Those things (like average wind speed per month, windy days per year) are all over the internet
Go ahead, make of fool of me. Post the data. But average doesn't count when talking about reliable power generation. 24/7/365. You won't post it, though. You'll either slither away or come back with more huffing and puffing.
Ah, yes, slavery. White America's original sin. An eternal excuse for black crime, poverty, or whatever the grievance of the day is. Nevermind that whites were also enslaved in the Barbary slave trade, or that Europe arose from the Dark Ages, or that any number of people from any number of shit times rose above their position despite being disadvantaged.
Nope, it doesn't matter that Japanese were mass interned in World War II, and essentially lost all their property, but rebounded. Asians are "people of color" when it comes time to align with voting and "people of color" causes, but honorary whites when it comes to being discriminated against for being successful.
It doesn't matter that we had 8 years of a black President. Race relations have become worse than they have been in decades. It doesn't matter how many decades of "affirmative action" we have, or how much data you can point to, or anything else. It's all about "slavery".
Wow, it tells you it is an island? And mothing else?
Please, enlightenment me with your erudite map skills.
Are you able to describe the one condition under which that partiular island has no wind?
Wind is variable, even in relatively windy places. You haven't given any indication as to why you think wind blows 100%, outside of your own personal huffing and puffing.
You are an idiot. Hint: google how a solar plant is integrated into a grid... then read a year or two.
People are talking about solar as if it is going to replace fossil fuels. In other words, cloudy days matter.
If you would least look on the map and then think 10 seconds, or a minute, you would most likely realize what looking on a map tells you.
The map tells me where Puerto Rico is located. You seem to think because it's an island that weather is constant, be it wind or solar. I'd tell you to learn to think critically, but I'm afraid you are a lost cause.
That AC is either stupid, in full-on panic mode (causing stupidity) or trying to spread propaganda (i.e. lying).
Given past government behavior, I think it's safest to assume any device being capable of remotely controlled by a 3rd party is under the purview of the federal government. All it takes is a No Such Letter, legally. And we know the government has not limited itself to legal means.

Google has a long history of creating interesting technology, and then dumping it.
Alternatively put, Google has a long history of creating interesting technology that they couldn't profit from.
I made no claims, except that you have no clue about geography and - hu ho - wind.
So you made no claims, except the claims you made. Real genius here.
no, but it's not unreasonable to attribute things on a gross level, an an analogy being the causes of cancer.
It's unreasonable to keep doing this in contrast to other explanations that have supporting data.
My wife spent a lot of her life poor, so it might give me some perspective.
So did she perpetrate a lot of violent crime during that time?
As predicted, more huffing and puffing, nothing to back up your claims. Too easy.
I think you've missed the point. Bad Things (TM) that happened in another country are unlikely to be relevant.
Why? You can trace everybody's arc of history and find some "Bad Things". The point is that we don't play the forever oppressed game, when people all over have rose above their shitty starting position.

That's your assumption and playing the victim, denying self-agency and assigning the blame to others.
That other people did Bad Stuff (TM) doesn't excuse other bad things.
Indeed. So let's not hear about slavery anymore when talking about black crime, okay?
The data is easy to google ...
Which is why you don't do it yourself and back up your claims, right? It's not my job to substantiate your huffing and puffing.
Those things (like average wind speed per month, windy days per year) are all over the internet
Go ahead, make of fool of me. Post the data. But average doesn't count when talking about reliable power generation. 24/7/365. You won't post it, though. You'll either slither away or come back with more huffing and puffing.
caused by slavery
Ah, yes, slavery. White America's original sin. An eternal excuse for black crime, poverty, or whatever the grievance of the day is. Nevermind that whites were also enslaved in the Barbary slave trade, or that Europe arose from the Dark Ages, or that any number of people from any number of shit times rose above their position despite being disadvantaged.

all that I have will now be directed at convincing people away from you
Away from Huawei, and towards...? Who are the smart phone manufacturers that let you boot your own OS?
If you don't feel the urge to google and enlighten yourself, that is your sad problem.
First it was "look at a map", now it's "google". The "sad problem" is you.
Q: Are you able to describe the one condition under which that partiular island has no wind?
Really? So where's your 24/7/365 data on wind for Puerto Rico? Reliable power is built on data, not huffing and puffing by armchair propagandists.
Wow, it tells you it is an island?
And mothing else?
Please, enlightenment me with your erudite map skills.
Are you able to describe the one condition under which that partiular island has no wind?
Wind is variable, even in relatively windy places. You haven't given any indication as to why you think wind blows 100%, outside of your own personal huffing and puffing.

You aren't intelligent enough to even parrot renewable propaganda credibly.
No one cares about the cloud cover of a particular day. Why would that be interesting if I want to plan for a solar plant?
The patent stupidity of this statement is beyond words. Congratulations.
Especially when raise the topic about wind and are to lazy to look on a map
What does Puerto Rico's location on a map tell me about wind? That's right, nothing.
The GP talked about Puerto Rico. You might be interested to look on a map where that is.
Wow, you're pretty dumb. What would Puerto Rico's location on a map tell me about cloud cover for any particular day?
Solar without batteries is cheaper than any fossil or nuclear power since a decade.
Bullshit.
Including batteries it is minimum 3 years now that solar is cheaper.
Bullshit.
