The poster said proper garbage collection, not recycling. Recycling may or may not be part of the disposal picture, but properly containing the plastic in a properly managed landfill is also a perfectly acceptable solution.

Fat fingered fax... faxes, not faces!

Email may not be secure, but neither are faces and phones, and yet medical professionals use those all the time.

How do you download the games? I tried logging in to download cyberpunk which I purchased on gog, and they wanted me to download tons of files individually! I couldn't even just click a "download all" button.

If there were competition for App Stores, we could discover what the correct market price for App Stores is, but Apple doesn't want that.

If you think 3% is too much, there are plenty of other payment processors... the thing is, most of that 3% is not set by the processor (or kept by them) but is set by the card networks. It is the card networks that should be targeted by antitrust laws.

If there anyone could make an App Store, then we would have a better idea of what the market rate for app stores should be.

Were you using v2?

Pydantic docs do clearly state that multple levels of nesting of Pydantic objects can make it much slower, so it isn't particularly surprising that such models were slow.

It is possible that 7 figure number included the offer to join Google, and since this engineer didn't accept that offer, they would not have recieved the compensation for doing so. It sounds like Garry Yan was getting his information second hand, so it may not include all of the context.

What do you mean by "pulling another Rust Foundation"?

The Linux Foundation also runs several other projects, none of which do I see being ran terribly poorly from a corporate meddling point. I can only hope that is a strong signal of things to come.

The OSD does not allow for discrimination:

"The license must not discriminate against any person or group of persons."

"The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research."

By having a clause that discriminates based on revenue, it cannot be Open Source.

If they had required everyone to provide attribution in the same manner, then we would have to examine the specifics of the attribution requirement to determine if it is compatible... but since they discriminate, it violates the open source definition, and no further analysis is necessary.

I had a Vizio tv that just gave up the ghost on me. The remote had a full keyboard on the back! Best remote I have ever had. It ran the Yahoo connected TV platform. It was fantastic. (except the whole vizio spying on its customers thing... but the hardware and YTV platform were great!)

Thats not what international law is, and the US isn't part of the ICC treaty.

Oh look, the NYT got a picture to spin their yarn! Maybe watch the NYTs own video clip just below it?

Perhaps, but the comment I was replying to was claiming "not wearing uniforms" which isn't what was going on. I have no idea if badges were displayed at any point, but this was a federal courthouse, one would hope that they would be asking for identification. It should also be noted that according to the article, NYPD was present at the time.

I don't think, given the facts I currently have, that claiming he didn't know they were real ICE agents is going to hold much water.
