Snakes on a plane.

That has always been it.
People calling for "meritocracy" almost never stop to discuss HOW merit will be measured. They use flawed measures that are convenient to them. That was Young's point in popularizing the team, to begin with.

Right, because social responsibility does not matter

Part of the issue is treating C and C++ as the same language (or basically the same). Writing memory-safe C++ is trivial with a modern compiler.

"Your a Mentat, Harry."

Daniel Penny sneaked up behind his victim and choked him to death for minutes while other passengers warned he was killing the man.

Penny's victim never saw him nor did he address him specifically. He did yell "he didn't care" and willing to go back to jail in a car Penny was riding in at the time.

I love going to the movies!

We do have an appetite for socialism, but we as a country will pretty much lose our minds if the "wrong" group benefits. Here is MS investing 3bn to counter the effects of AI in India https://www.techradar.com/pro/... If this investment went to affected groups or communities on US soil, it would create an intense legal and social backlash.

It is weird to me that the FSF feels that they even have to justify this.

I'm sure his lawyers are very frustrated with him. He has (and continues) to make WPEngine's entire case.
Just look at the judges order, it's filled with his social media comments. https://www.documentcloud.org/...
Then instead of simply complying (this is an injuction, WPE hasn't won anything), he taunts the judge who will be deciding his case. That's moronic to say the least.
Something is clearly going on with him.

I'd love to get some Slashdot coverage of Bluesky's opensource and data roots.
1. Bluesky is a public benefit company (they can legally prioritize keeping their data open over profits)
2. Bluesky is federated (can bridge with other federated systems)
3. Uses the open-source AT protocol

I'm much more excited about these things than the rest of the plafform

I'm surprised I haven't seen posts about Bluesky's opensource goals and roots. 1. Bluesky is a public benefit corporation which has the goal of keeping data open and portable in its charter. The company can defend against a hostile takeover just by showing the buyer would close access to data, etc. 2. Bluesky is federated and uses the AT protocol. https://atproto.com/ It can be bridged with other protocols

Glulam primary beams have cross sections such as 10â x 30â. Thatâ(TM)s about a foot wide by 2 and a half feet wide.

These are not 2x4 sticks.

â¦should grant every US citizen 100GB of disk space on its own cloud network.

Why bother spying, when you can just have the people park their stuff with you in the first place?

It doesnâ(TM)t take a second for a human to do it. It is so fast as to be nearly automatic, and is integrated with a hundred thousand other considerations as well. What might take a full second is internalizing the instruction, cuing the photo, formulating the answer, and then issuing a spoken response. But if you just glance around the room you are in, you will automatically identify lots and lots of things, without even having to formulate the query.
