Would you set foot in a building constructed by labour who are working 90 hours a week? Designed by a structural engineer working 90 hours per week? That seems like a recipe for disaster.

I expect this ruling (and /.) will boost traffic to that site significantly.

Well done.

I have no idea. I'm not someone who questions Freedom units, I just wield them irresponsibly.

Absolutely. it seems ludicrous to spent such large sums of money helping people. $300m here, $386m there... that's almost enough to buy two F-22 Raptors.

Would citing "Betteridge's Law of Headlines" count as a reason?

New Zealand went a step further and eliminated 1c, 2c, and 5c coins. So it's currently rounded to the nearest 10c. I expect we'll lose the 10c coin in my lifetime. Maybe even 20c or 50c depending how bad it gets.

Look I'm sure this has been said before but the spelling is C H A R L E S.

Reading licences is for nerds. NERDS, I tell ya.

In a past life I had to develop for Oracle and lemme tell ya... I strongly disliked every second of it.

Might want to see a doctor about that pinched nerve.

No. Mostly generic white dudes.

From my experience working with recent CS grads in the software industry (outside the US):
* How to use a toilet brush.
* How to compose sentences to communicate basic ideas.
* How to put cups in dishwashers.

I don't know how some of these kids graduated from university, tbh.

I mean, who didn't see this coming? Blaming it on coronavirus is hilarious, too.

I mistyped there and typed "true" when I meant "untrue". My bad! Obviously it has to be false or it isn't defamatory!

Sorry, I should add... Something outlandishly true that the defamer has said to purposefully damage the defamee's reputation. The intent needs to be established.

The threshold for defamation isn't even that high in New Zealand. If it's an honestly held opinion then the case is virtually dead in the water. Defamation needs to be essentially proven by the prosecution to be something outlandishly untrue.

In this case I'd bet a shiny wooden nickel that there's truth to it. Especially having worked in the NZ software industry myself.
