DDG and Kagi and Brave are also bullshit due to AI.

FreeBSD is also free software as defined by the FSF. ZFS is too.

When were you born?

They were a membership organization run by 3 universities.

ESP-32 is about twice the $4 price.

iPhones are for people with more money than brains.

I would be more interested in a correlation with intelligence. Or with tech skills.

It would have been more like 1998. Yahoo Mail was part of an acquisition of Four11's RocketMail in late (October/November) 1997.

1. repulsor beams are more energy efficient, so they are likely to be used first;
2. this device repels, so is kind of like a repulsor beam;
3. a true repulsor beam or tractor beam is gravito-magnetic, not sonic;
4. a true repsor beam will generate an off axis tractor beam of equal power, but with that power dispersed over a wider arc (most likely a full 360 degree dispersal in the plane perpendicular to the beam, with additional dispersal above and below that plane), so there is a small possibility of using that tractor beam for a secondary purpose. That is the most likely way tractor beams will be used.

I completely agree. If they were motivated to learn, they would have done still so on their own. That's the thing with IT, self teaching (especially when you already know the management frameworks and principles) is not only easy, but the most effective way to learn.

You are wasting your time. If the work is not there, they are redundant. Act accordingly.

(IAAL, but not your lawyer. See your own lawyer to make sure you do this right and don't risk a claim. I was in IT for 20 years before becoming a lawyer, including at executive management level, so my evaluation of that part comes from direct experience)

His statement might be right (and probably is) but there is no need for him to express himself that way. He's not a teenager anymore, he's in his late 40s and ought to be able to better control his impulses (or even be centred enough not to have them in the first place). His words would carry far more weight of he expressed himself more maturely.

Exactly. The shortage was of employers who understood the technical difficulty of coding, and were willing to pay accordingly. I am now in law, which pays better, but coding at any reasonable level of quality (so, better than offshore minimal skill code monkey ships provide) is more intellectually demanding than law.

In Australia, women are now in the majority In the legal profession, an outstripping men at the entry level 2 to 1. However, they are still a minority among barristers (who specialise in court work), who are required to be self employed.

In tha past few weeks I have been In a court with a lot of high school legal studies classes coming into the gallery. There the girls seen to outnumber the boys 10 to 1.

Me too. If the site is a news site, and there is no RSS, I either construct my own RSS using wget, cron and shell scripts, or just don't read the site. If /. dropped RSS, well, it is not what it once was, I would just stop reading it.
