How much of that goes on rent? And is that rent paid directly back to the city?

Doesn't Nigeria still have lots of slavery?
gvjddbnvdrbv··on The US Army spent millions developing giant, six-legged walking trucks in 1980s
Yes they used to do forestry like that in Northern Europe. They realised the methods described by the OP are more sustainable and more reliable (e.g. diseases will wipe out monocultures).

All of these are just skins over Google's code.

Does even Microsoft make any meaningful contribution to Chromium?

What is the replacement word for master/slave?

I genuinely don't know because this aspect of English newspeak hasn't made it to my country yet.

Probably he would be engaged in working on some aspect of improving the business...
gvjddbnvdrbv··on Warrior skeletons reveal Bronze Age Europeans couldn’t drink milk
Which facts am I misrepresentating?
gvjddbnvdrbv··on Warrior skeletons reveal Bronze Age Europeans couldn’t drink milk
First let's not get into formula vs breast. That's not relavant right now since formula is designed to imitate breast.

I am aware that cows milk is not sufficient for babies. The approx age is one. The (main) reason is iron. By one most (western) children eat a sufficient diet that cows milk is a sufficient milk source.

My concern is that some parents may see the anti cows milk propaganda and not provide any milk after weaning (almond, oat etc drinks are not milk).

gvjddbnvdrbv··on Warrior skeletons reveal Bronze Age Europeans couldn’t drink milk
Up to the age of around 3 we give cows milk to children because we are replacing the human milk that children up to that age would naturally be drinking...
gvjddbnvdrbv··on OnlyOffice is an alternative to LibreOffice
The problem with this is that one can't simply submit work documents and these formatting issues are usually edge cases produced by people that are doing things they really shouldn't with Office.

I think reddit have forgotten about old.reddit.com. Maybe we shouldn't talk about it in case they notice and shut it down...

gvjddbnvdrbv··on Why Doctors Hate Their Computers (2018)
Sadly they've added a billing system for 'health tourism'. Before that they didn't ask too many questions just treated people. I guess the billing system pays for itself? Not sure.
gvjddbnvdrbv··on Why Doctors Hate Their Computers (2018)
Nationalised health systems work very hard on cost control. There is a lot of FUD spread about e.g. the UK's NHS but the actual numbers show that it provides an excellent healthcare service to everyone for the same amount as Medicare+Medicade+health insurance for federal and state employees (in total via these channels half the people in the US have their healthcare paid for by the US taxpayer). I.e. the NHS is nearly twice as efficient as the US system.

I guess just copy their methods?

gvjddbnvdrbv··on Ubuntu 20.04’s zsys adds ZFS snapshots to package management
Please refer to my OP on the subject..
gvjddbnvdrbv··on Ubuntu 20.04’s zsys adds ZFS snapshots to package management
This is all true. But also the numerous copyright holders of the Linux kernel could also choose to sue.

I also have no relationship to RH other than as a user of their free stuff.

Yes when it became apparent that BTRFS was not ready RH did that. It was a slight surprise when it happened if I remember correctly.

I said RHEL v9 OR 10. I guess 9 is unlikely but 10 is a number of years off. If BTFS is a sucess on Fedora and stable then they will surely consider it. That is the point of Fedora...

gvjddbnvdrbv··on Ubuntu 20.04’s zsys adds ZFS snapshots to package management
Oracle would need to release another version of ZFS than the current ZFS on Linux to avoid the license issues...
gvjddbnvdrbv··on Ubuntu 20.04’s zsys adds ZFS snapshots to package management
Fedora is going to BTRFS. I guess that means it is being at least considered for RHEL 9 or 10. I can't see RH choosing ZFS unless the license is sorted out.

It's indicative of the change. Between the methane from permafrost and gas hydrates we are looking at having a bad time for a long time here on Earth.
gvjddbnvdrbv··on Africa declared free of wild polio
Not exactly good faith here....

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24293489 - my sibling comment to yours might clarify my opinion for you...

I actually suspect this role was thrust on the CDC because they are generally supported by everyone (everyone sane anyway). I'm not a fan of this having happened because they should be too important to get mixed into politically poisonous debates.

gvjddbnvdrbv··on Africa declared free of wild polio
Did they ask for this work or was it thrust on them because of political football?
gvjddbnvdrbv··on Africa declared free of wild polio
I completely agree. There should be a government agency doing this. That agency should not be the CDC.
gvjddbnvdrbv··on Is TDD Dead? (2014)
This is more integration testing than unit testing. Certainly valuable but it shouldn't replace your unit tests.
gvjddbnvdrbv··on Kindle collects a surprisingly large amount of data
Wouldn't focus groups work better AND respect your users?

Devs think it is either telemetry or develop blind but in reality software was developed (and possibly was better) before telemetry using focus groups.

gvjddbnvdrbv··on Is TDD Dead? (2014)
First. Don't do this!

Second. You've done this/someone else has done this and now you need to maintain it (we've all been there!). In this case my original post holds. Your test suite mocks the databases for unit tests anyway right? So write some test(s) checking that when the various databases are down appropriate responses are given by your service.

I would tend to agree that they have no place talking about guns.
