I've been doing more googling and several articles refer to it as "Israel's Zend Technologies"[1] before the acquisition by Roguewave.

1: https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/business/1.4891691

Zend was bought by RogueWave who was bought by Perforce.

Zend was founded by Israelis, from that same article on Zend:

> Zend Technologies was founded by Andi Gutmans and Zeev Suraski who, along with other Israeli graduates of the Technion, the Israel Institute of technology

I am currently assuming it was founded in Israel, but to be fair the article does not explicitly say where it was founded.

How does this work considering PHP is heavily made up of code from Zend (which was an Israeli company)

Can Iranian-built websites not use PHP?

100% this.

A website is exercising their own freedom of speech when choosing not to publish or carry something.

If we oppose this idea then we need to create an alternative to that monopoly. Either in the private, or the public sector.

No, I think they're suggesting that console makers need to open up their app stores and that may result in them no longer being able to sell at a loss.

What seems odd to me is that the color list seems laid out LTR instead of RTL despite being top-to-bottom.

That was my immediate thought upon seeing the name. "Wait, is this a GSC reference?"

You've obliterated Bulbagarden's ranking for the term

I do not know any advantage of date-based versioning, other than someone knowing how new it is.

Semver is important for knowing whether or not to evaluate for breakages. You can theoretically combine both of these by making the date the patch version or supplying it as a version metadata

I hope they bring some of the newer improvements and more of the MX Master features to the MX Vertical.

I've found that I really appreciate the different ergonomics of a vertical mouse, but I do miss my side wheel and unlocking scroll

Welcome to Night Vale has an interesting take on this, which is:

Why should the future care about you or your desires? To the future, you are simply a resource.

This likely isn't a native ad (since it being one would break the law - the website posted (nor the original source[1]) state they are paid for the article - which is a legal requisite in the states.

I imagine the biggest argument for why this hasn't happened yet is due to the massive expense.

But is it more expensive than what we're currently doing?

(USA viewpoint)

Even if they can't sell it though, the article says they're leasing it. I'd be surprised if it were being leased for free.

If that's the case it is generating some sort of money.

Taxes like this exist to prevent the hoarding of wealth through generations

The problem with review keys being done with limited time is that once the license expires, its the game and developer that get blamed and get poor reviews.

One of the biggest problem with resellers is review-key fraud

I think a quote from The LEGO Movie sums it up best:

> You accidentally, expertly, carefully took the entire top off of that tower?

I'm not sure any judge will treat being on the lam as time served, but yes.

"5 years."

Isn't he facing 10 years in UK for fleeing on bail?

Does US extradite him, trial him, (jail him?) and then ship him off to the UK to serve his time there?

When money is considered speech in America,

Then isn't speech purely about self interest for those in power?

My thought is that we have the same problems with entirely different approaches

I don't think they're any more "bad" than when are at this point, and corporations are just trying to do their job at this point

Is China Evil?

I think we always approach news like this with the concept that it is, indeed, evil.

Especially when it concerns censorship, which us in the democratic world view as paramount to freedom.

I'm not convinced that China is outright evil. I think they're just taking a different approach. Speech can do good, and it can do very bad (as we've seen in the information age - people are increasingly prone to believing falsehoods).

While I don't agree with China's approach to speech, I can't say that they're straight out evil b/c of it.

For those that might reply, I do know that they've done terrible things - and you have to admit - our country has too.

Google Podcasts is a replacement for the Podcast aspect of Google Play Music.

They're splitting it into "Google Podcasts" and "YouTube Music"

I feel like some of these are stretching it..

For example, it lists the Google Glass OS and Google Glass separately - and the latter is still an enterprise product.

Hardware models are listed (Nexus phones, Chromecast Audio, Chromebook Pixel)

In which countries is 10^12 still billion?

My immediate research only renders that it used to be this in British English

What on earth did you use to format that.

This will be far more readable to PHP devs; https://gist.github.com/navarr/a20284c0533ea6f6ebc0946d62c96...

I'm surprised there's no involvement from PHP yet (although, who would be involved?)

PHP's renaissance has a lot of thanks to give to Composer - our own package manager that has been fantastic.

Composer should definitely be represented in the maintainer's group.

I don't think anyone considers Discord a competing product. It targets a different market/userbase than Slack.

Slack is very much setup for business use and integrations.

Discord has a bot API, but it's mostly focused around realtime chat for communities (like a community-focused Skype).

They're very similar, but serve different purposes and different markets

Obviously we should push for a healthier society, but that doesn't necessarily mean we should shame those who do not have a fit body size.

Don't forget that in many circumstances cooking and hobbies like working out and hiking and such can be privileged.

Someone working two jobs to get by probably doesn't have the funds for a gym membership or to go out hiking, and might not even have the mental energy to.

And then cooking healthy food is surprisingly expensive and time consuming when compared to processed foods.

So yes, absolutely, we should push for a healthier society, but at the same time we should accept that there are valid reasons someone might not be fit, and we shouldn't shame them for that. Instead, we should try to improve the situations that cause it as much as we can within our abilities.

I have seen a lot of cars not come to a full and complete stop at stop signs if there's no traffic

I don't see why it should be any different for cyclists.

This argument, of course, does not apply to people going full-speed without yielding through a stop sign or traffic light

Asking the average person to install a device in their home to properly utilize a social network might be a non-starter
