It's clearly fair that something that causes costs to a government agency pays those costs. However hiding a subsidy for NASA by failing to get them to pay as well would be featherbedding the public sector; remember that its NASA's poor record in developing space technology that has led to the private companies getting going.

There must be fine lines in the McKinsey offer that we don't know. Like they cannot refuse an offer of they get one that pays at least as much as they had previously, or they cannot delay the contract start (e.g. job application must contain sentence "available immediately") other than e.g. 4 weeks to relocate if the new offer is in another city.

Think for just half a minute about that proposal and you'll instantly realize just WHY this is stupid.

Who will take that offer? Well, of course people who know that they can easily find a new job that pays about as much as they get right now. And who would be that? Will it be the ones that have a lot of successful projects to show off, people who got great connections in various companies, people who present papers and hold talks at conferences? Or will it be the ones that will just do the bare minimum so they don't get fired?

Do I really have to point out what portion of your company you lose with a move like that?

California did not decriminalize theft, it simply reclassfied lower level non-violent crimes as misdemeanors https://apnews.com/article/fac...

NY did not end cash bail for violent felonies, only misdemeanors and some non-violent felonies https://www.nyclu.org/en/campa...

So parents are allowed to fail to adequately parent and get to profit off of it?

The party of personal responsibility, everyone!

I didn't want a first/last, as it would seem too obvious for spammers. Although I turned around made first/initial/last for my kids with the invites

I just looked back, and it seems that barely an hour after it went live, I filed bug #11562493 on the lack of etiquette education for users in signup . . .

I think there is is no need for a transmission for EVs. I remember reading about this long ago about how electric vehicles 100+ years ago claimed that as an advantage. Do modern EVs have a transmission ? I kind of doubt it.

So this is a post about an article about an opinion. We can do better. I love my six speed and anyone who uses logic on this subject does not understand fun. Shall we start measuring the efiiciency of horses?

I was early enough that my last name alone is still my primary email. When my kids were born 2000 and 2003, I created semi anonymous emails as their first name and middle name. I just made those forward to me until they were old enough to take over (with a few years of oversight/redundancy too). What I didn't realize was that my son's first and middle name would be a huge match for a generic first/last. I got so many emails with so much confidential info across many actual people with that name. It really woke me up to the weakness of email when not validating addresses. So many interesting attachments.

Mine is pretty entertaining sometimes. Class lists from schools, one woman who signed me up for notifications from her home security system. Some shady development company even shared their whole dropbox with me once.

"Nothing should be released as FOSS unless it is truly insignificant to your profit model."

If you're talking about releasing a fully formed piece of software, sure. But Redis was not that when it was initially released. They needed help developing it into that. They were smart enough to demand copyright assignment apparently (or they couldn't just change the license like this) so this strategy more or less worked.

"Redis" is not a person jackass. It is a project where MULTIPLE developers contributed code. Developer's contributed code with the understanding that it would be licensed as Open Source. Redis Ltd, the company behind "Redis", decided to change course and change the license model. That means developers can no longer use the "Redis" code that they contributed to and were allowed to use before. You can fuck off now, you useless prick.

Since sending these SMS messages is one of the largest costs for these services, this is a pretty clever cost savings.

Downside for user would spammers could use it to harvest active phone numbers, though frankly it's not that hard to get a list of active phone numbers these days without needing to slowly register more and more telegram accounts which would each need a new number.
