Unfortunately, the FSF couldn't resist a final dig, saying the killing of the OS had brought to an end "its updates as well as its 10 years of poisoning education, invading privacy, and threatening user security."
Can anyone point me at an article somewhere that names and explains this religion in which speaking an unflattering truth about a corporation is a sin? I've seen this strange phenomenon twice here on
I grew up the son of a Teamster, and what I remember is people looking for good jobs approaching my father to ask if he could get them into the union. I never heard anyone cry like a Republican about being "forced" to join a union.
The studios will just move to right to fire states.
Here in the United States, all are fire at will except Montana.
Well, glad you realized you're a socialist. Yes. If you allow the government to tell you what charge port you have to use then you basically will end up having them tell you if you should be allowed a headphone jack, what screen vendors you can use, what other chips you can or can't use. Etc. Etc.
Ya gotta point out an icy mountain to make the case that there's a slippery slope, friend. With the tremendous power that corporations have to bully governments, your concern seems misplaced. What looks like choice is actually fucking the biosphere with toxic trash, and siphoning prosperity away from people who work to give it to those who sit on their asses collecting dividend checks.
Discussion around these issues is important, but I don't think it's appropriate for Mozilla to explicitly call out other companies like this.
What about being a corporation rightly should shield them from criticism?
There's enough blind obedience to the corporation these days already.
Oh! Please excuse the dumb question. I hadn't considered the bigger screen.
Even on Youtube I couldn't stand the ads anymore and I sprung for the ad-free monthly subscription.
Your browser, it no does accept extensions?
Do you have a better way to test models?
They're not testing a model, they're expressing a model. Unless disproofs and alternative theories are actively considered, which the article doesn't mention them having been, all we've learned by the observations in this work is how easily confirmation bias can look real purty in that dress. Here's my theory, there's one data point, I'm done -- because I'm Googod. Um, no.
Hypothesis: There is a wide but normal range of response of dopamine neurons in response to given stimuli, and all it tells us about is a biological manufacturing tolerance that doesn't mean anything.
True? False? Don't know, don't care. It's a hypothesis, and it fits the observation.
Sometimes it does.
The human brain doesn't even pretend to play by the rules of computer science, so the very best that code can do is to approximate someone's existing hypothesis of what seems to be happening inside the brain. The brain that you learn about is that guy whose hypothesis you modeled, as understood by a programmer.
No, idiots, software is not going to tell you how the human brain works any more than studying a hipster's beanie is going to tell you how a uterus works. Fuckin' navel gazers.
I do. Perl with a solid event loop is great for event driven asynchronous middleware, which is most of what I do these days. It's also outstanding for Linux/BSD system utilities that are most of the rest of what I do.
In my 20+ year career {
Well there ya go. Engineering schools started to suck just over twenty years ago when colleges that were once institutions of higher learning became investment vehicles and job placement agencies.
Ah, that "C" language with "obol" behind
C is fine. COBOL... Holy shit someone made something useful out of it when I was being happy that someone invented Dittos jeans and it's still here. I'm actually in the process now of teaching an entire office full of people to use SSH instead of telnet in order to access their most mission-critical COBOL application. Which, BTW, is still actively updated. Go figure.
The last war actually won by the United States was WWII.
The last time that you understood history hasn't happened yet.
I don't blame Google at all for what Chrome does, Google is not a charity, it's a business and business that has to make money.
I was in agreement with you until that. A self-respecting people would not allow Googod to exist.
My idea of roughing it turning the air conditioner too low.
