ZTE apparently paid bonuses to 30+ people even though that were involved in some kind of violation. I bet Wells Fargo well also pay the CEO and the board very handsomely.
As it was in 2009 where me and you and every John Q Taxpayer contributed to the yacht and private jet fund for the Wall Street execs that stole pension money from millions of Americans, tripled unemployment, caused hundreds of thousands of excess deaths in the subsequent economic downturn...
Nothing pitchforks, molotovs, and sturdy rope wouldn't solve, but I guess we're just too comfortable to do anything but passively let them f*ck us in the butt.
>My Nexus 7 has a pop out cover, yet when it fell in a stream of running water, it never even shut down. Opening it revealed only two small drops of water.
Plus, battery contacts don't corrode from a short exposition to water (otherwise, so would the headphone plug).
I have a Nexus 7 as well and I have no idea what this pop out cover means. Can you please help me understand? Thanks
Sorry, probably a wrong name, I mean the back cover just snaps together (and can be removed easily, even with one's nails) rather than having screws and such.
Sorry for off topic but it is a difficult topic and goes beyond Wikipedia. I read on hacker news the complaints that many (even peer reviewed) studies are never reproduced because there is no incentive to reproduce/verify someone else's work. Also, I've read that the "sugar lobby" may have been behind previous studies linking eating fatty food with obesity. Given these facts, how do we create guidelines that allow original research?
If one person owns all the land, they (or someone they authorize) can boot anyone unwelcome. This makes life much simpler because you can sidestep a lot of issues and focus on what this really is: a pilot project.
The full EPCOT plans are interesting. A circular city layout, with layers. Density in the center. People taking monorails to work, and WEDway people movers locally. Designed for biking and walking. Cars only used on weekends.
That's scary of that's what is required of a ceo. You would either need to be an oracle and predict where the industry will go or you'd need to make the industry go the direction you're taking the company.
In my opinion, you don't even need Marx for this. Even Jeff Bezos reportedly said "your margin is my opportunity". So if some product is expensive without being scarce, it is probably being "protected" by likely unethical means (like copyright?) or an oligopoly (unions?) that keeps prices artificially high.
Sorry if this missed the mark completely. Would love to learn.
Linux is version 2. Linus is adamant about not using version 3. IIRC, some contributions are v2 or later, but as long as a majority of the code is v2 only, the whole package is v2.
"IIRC, some contributions are v2 or later, but as long as a majority of the code is v2 only, the whole package is v2."
If even one component is v2 rather than "v2 or later", then (I'd assume) the whole project is v2-only, majority or no. It's also not clear if it's permissible to make contributions under "v2 or later" licensing terms, since those contributions are derivative works of Linux itself (which is v2-only).
This will almost certainly always be the case, since changing Linux's license to "GPLv2 or later" (let alone GPLv3) would require unanimous consent from every contributor (and seeing as how - IIRC - one or more said contributors are dead, that consent is thus impossible to achieve unanimously).
The only sensible way to do it is to locate all parts still licensed under GPLv2 and ask every copyright owner alive (or their estates) to relicense their contributions under GPLv2+ or rewrite them from scratch licensing them under GPLv2+.
And convincing Linus the rewritten versions are objectively better than the old ones.
This is interesting. I don't have a routine of what I eat for breakfast. I just improvise every morning (: do people usually eat the same thing every morning?
I do for the most part. I always eat oatmeal and plain yogurt, I just add different fruit. I can buy the oatmeal and yogurt in bulk,I don't have to think about breakfast, and the variety of fruits keeps it palatable.
We could still work from home and have time where we meet our coworkers? I read somewhere that gitlab is trying out something like this. I'd love to learn wrist they conclude from this experience.
At one company I worked for (that was mostly remote workers), people who lived within an hour of each other would periodically meet up for social or work reasons.
We had one guy who had a nice house with a big dining room, and once a month we'd work from there in one room. Less work got done, but some things that otherwise might never have been done/resolved got handled. Plus it was "kind of" fun.
So unless you're geographically too far from colleagues, there's no reason why you can't have meetups (and I would advocate for them... occasionally).
It may be fallacy to you because you haven't experienced it, but it has happened in my experience.
Sometimes on person describes an annoyance they have, and one of the other people in the room feels motivated to resolve that issue. Or a couple of people start talking about something, and a third person has a new idea that improves thing. There are endless scenarios that can result in something happening that otherwise might never have happened without the meeting.
I find it psychologically very different knowing that anyone can talk to you (and you can't ignore like if you were online) and see you. It forces me into a "work mode" psychology.
If you're highly creative, self-discipline is often at odds with the way you work/think. Unfortunately, many office drones are not creative and have no concept of this. Some expect developers and IT people to punch a clock and start typing code until close of business day.
