They comply with laws and regulations. Compliance, however, is not their motivation. Relying on a home builder to adopt these other matters as their motivation is folly. That's why we have building codes and inspectors to enforce them. If we could rely on home builders to promulgate all our supposedly good goals we wouldn't maintain codes or employ inspectors and instead use the money to bump city manager bonuses.
Relying on the vaunted wisdom of Tim Berners-Lee and the good graces of giant corporations — populated by their "armies" of imported coders, managers and executives most of whom have zero clue who Tim Berners-Lee is or why they should listen to him, having gotten off the boat a decade or more after TBL last mattered — is likewise folly.
Plus CCP's player base is already fully invested in PC gaming. Yes, the console only launch was monumentally stupid.
CCP has been making bad calls for 10+ years now. One stupid decision after another; pointless "walking in stations," strange vampire mmos no one asked for, two failed attempts a mmo fps, VR stuff when no one has the gear...
CCP is a holding of a South Korean company as of last month; the end result of chronic failure.
Prior to 2016 Russia could do no wrong. The establishment and its admirers were the same Russian apologists that they'd been since the 1920's. At least now they have their fucking eyes open; yes Virginia there are actually bad folk over there, just like Romney tried to tell your dumb ass.
Does anyone in China actually care about Google search? The topic is a hot potato in the US for a number of reasons, but the fact is that search isn't that hard and there are already search engines available in China. It isn't as if Chinese internet users are lost among the myriad domains for lack of Google search...
Amazon Linux — the image used on most AWS EC2 Linux instances — has also changed over to systemd with Amazon Linux 2, released last Jun 26. Amazon Linux was an important sysvinit holdout; if your users expected to use your work on EC2 with Amazon's distro you needed to care about sysvinit. Now that Amazon Linux has moved on there are no important distributions based on sysvinit remaining and it may be safely ignored.
Indeed. China has greatly overpopulated their nation. Now China is filling the oceans with plastic. And China is the main source of illegal CFC production. In addition to being the largest sovereign source of CO2 emissions.
So be sure to continue exempting China from every agreement in order to get their signature. At some point we're sure to fall for that like Europeans do if you just keep trying..............
Establishment: We have to downsize you to an efficiency apartment where you may eat kale and soy to save the planet. And we're exempt. And so is China.
Everyone else: Fuck right off.
It means the days of trying to force agreements that exempt the worst emitters while saddling the US with huge economic burdens are over. If you think we must "Do Something!!" you can no longer pretend that China doesn't exist and isn't an enormous contributor while dreaming up schemes to downsize the US to 1700's emission levels. None of that is politically feasible any longer — if it ever was — so you need to get your mind right and start imagining solutions that also burden China and whatever other economies emerge to replace China as well. The simple minded and foolish la-la land climate politics of the last 20-30 years have failed. Catch up, son.
The People are on to you. They understand that the wealthy establishment, its well-employed professional class and the coddled tech bros of the Valley with their Internet amplified voices won't suffer one iota of pain under the energy poverty schemes they've been threatening to inflict on the hoi polloi, and the hoi polloi gets it. So you must change. Either figure out some way to supply clean, low cost, abundant energy or get to work on a GULAG system to dispose of the folk, because they are no longer sleep walking into energy poverty on behalf of your anxieties.
these people are a direct threat to your status, your hobby, and your livelihood, because if these people get their way, your technical excellence becomes secondary to their wokeness
An LLVM contributor left the project in part because he would have been required to sign documents to attend an LLVM conference. It is very much the case that the CoC crowd would rather exclude any amount of talent then tolerate a dissenter. You're either 1000% on board with the "high-verbal-IQ non-technical politics-playing San-Francisco-residing cliques of social justice advocates" or you're out.
"I" who AC? At least put your account name on your proclamations.
This has been a long time coming. Linus is great, but he has been causing problems with his treatment of people and he knows it. There have been disruptive people among Linux contributors in the past and Linus recognized and dealt with them appropriately. Now he has recognized some of that in himself and is choosing to deal with that as well. Who are you to tell him he's wrong?
Your use of SJW isn't appropriate; the complaints aren't based in grievance mongering and no one is demanding special treatment or double standards. However, it is easy to anticipate an overreaction and I hope that Linus doesn't knuckle under the to "community standards" mob and end up saddled with a bunch of ambiguous, easy abused "guidelines" that are used to a empower some kangaroo court.
How does one access this special back channel? Is it hidden from the hoi poli, only for the special? Do the complainants have any financial leverage over "Python's minders?" Not going to answer that are you? Nice "open" process...
Good tactic anyhow; had "they" gone through the front door with this scab picking it would have been rightly ridiculed.
You can bet a son or daughter in-law of some California Farm Bureau board member recently landed a $300K/year no-show "chairman" job at a Deere funded NGO. Some $200K and $150K/year vice-chairmen spots were doled out as well.
Except that perhaps the future is not jeopardized in the least if tech bros buy new phones at a lower frequency and China has less revenue to build a blue water a navy. The cheap stuff from China model — enabled by disposable workers and piratical regulation-free manufacturers — is a shitty way to do things and any impedance we can offer is good. We can't trust China, Indie, et al. to perform our manufacturing without filling the oceans with plastic and emitting tons of illegal CFCs and all the other heinous shit they do, so let us unwind this sad, shameful arrangement.
Chrome has been having this problem for certain desktop users for a while now. There are workaround flags and whatnot. Just another chronic quality problem in Chrome that never gets fixed....
The Wired story quotes plans to attempt changing how URLs are displayed:
But this will mean big changes in how and when Chrome displays URLs. We want to challenge how URLs should be displayed and question it as we’re figuring out the right way to convey identity.
They cite previous experience when they attempted an "origin chip," later removed. Again, this was only an attempt to render things in a simpler manner. At no point in the story does any Google representative propose replacing URLs; all that language comes from the Wired writer. Maybe one could illegitimately surmise that some constraint on URLs might be implied in all this but there is no conceivable way to reach "KILL!" That's just fake.
All the trustworthy media outlets that are going bankrupt because
They're going bankrupt because they peddle the Wooden Language of the official narrative. Having not yet become the victims of actual tyranny people are free to leave establishment mouth pieces behind and seek alternatives that aren't beholden to beltway and corporate group-think.
I doubt the establishment cares.
Oh, they care. That's what this story is about and why it's bouncing around the progressive echo chamber today. We were just subjected to four+ days of establishment backlash in the form of Trump Derangement Syndrome on public display over McCain's carcass. It's why coordinated deplatforming operations are being conducted every day and why that nasty business goes unquestioned by anyone of the establishment.
The establishment cares and Plattner will be given accolades for his courage rationalizing the criminalization of wrong-think.
This sort of thing is music to the ears of the establishment. One more powerful voice to stand with with ruling class as they screw up the courage to criminalize those that annoy. It's been taken so far that Plattner has lost his inhibition to openly state his intentions.
Realize who you're climbing in bed with. This is the quintessential Captain of Industry; a man that has spent his life capturing regulators and leveraging IP law to propel himself to the 0.0001% bar in the wealth histogram. But hes singing the right song so you look past all that because you lost an election and if the criminal ban hammer is what it takes to make sure that never happens again well then all hail Mr. Plattner and any other Great and Good that join him.
True enough, but it's also true that incoming students are not well-qualified to figure out whether their education will result in good value for their money.
The educators are qualified to figure this out, but they are foregoing this responsibility to get the money.
I really can't imagine the degree of cowardice necessary to actually pay someone to inform an employer that you're quitting. If someone quit my employment in this manner I'd be pleased to have them go; there are times when you have to exhibit a backbone when representing your interests or the interests of your employer and engaging Exit is proof certain you didn't have one.
The only time I can imagine such a step being appropriate is if you suspect there might be an attempt at coercion, for instance when dealing with an irrational person that might threaten legal action — well founded or otherwise — and for that there are lawyers that can deal with the matter. Otherwise, if you need to avoid in-person interaction there are phones, email, etc.

Do you really believe they'd improve the RHEL desktop like that?

Oh. Some people don't share our "values." How awful.
Best part: we'll use our AI tech to "reach" those knuckle-draggers and educate them. LOL. At what point does such vast ignorance measure intellect?
Someone leaked this; a secret soul that has to exhibit the necessary group-think but actually despises these weird freaks and their intolerance.
Imagine the witch hunt that must be under way right now.
Lets make everything Haiti.
How cowardly.

I guess both 3D TV owners will have to decide if they prefer non-existent 8K content over non-existent 3D content.
