What did you think Modular was prior to the acquisition?

I mean, I can understand not being on board with Qualcomm and thinking the stewardship may go awry, but the reason given doesn’t seem to fit a company that raised multiple rounds of funding

Do you happen to have a link for that? It seems pretty counterintuitive given the state of modern PC hardware.

>The idea that opioids are addictive is a myth.

They have literal physical withdrawals. The body becomes dependent on them. What else would you call that?

Shouldn’t all three bear some fault? The big company for not proactively supporting their staff to report (e.g. benefits), the pilot for doing something ethically wrong, and the regulatory body for encouraging the broken system?

Here you go: https://shieldgeo.com/maternity-and-paternity-leave-in-germa...

> In addition to maternity leave, there is the option for the mother or father to take extended parental leave for up to a total of 24 months, with a parental allowance of 300 to 1200 Euros (depending on salary), paid by the government for the initial 14 months.

My brother used this for his first child, so I’m quite certain it exists.

So, remove the majority of dynamic websites from the internet, basically? I don’t see how that’s helpful. I get you’re (probably) being hyperbolic, but the fact remains that it’s a highly useful language for generating dynamic web content.

Wouldn’t having strong SEO incentive competition to buy ads? Of course it also incentives them to work on SEO, but the only way to ‘get above’ a top ranking site would be to buy an ad, no?

In that case wouldn’t it make sense to try to get your friends to use another group chat?

I get people love to use the iMessage groups, but every friend I have on Android create a WhatsApp group, etc. and it’s pretty trivial to use and maintain, especially with close friends.

Probably Signal.

I think you need to pick a better example. I don’t believe a CEO saying “diversity is important, but not our only goal” would be pilloried by either of the currently polarized sides, while one that said “diversity is the best” would, likely, be pilloried by one side.

Couldn’t you just search ‘clojure cortex’? As this isn’t actually clojure?

I don’t really think Apple, Google, or Microsoft fit in that set...
