> It's law in Australia. If you do not serve a notice period you owe the company wages for that period. 1 month wages minus 1 month notice = 0

You have misstated the law. If you sign an employment contract that requires two weeks notice from either party to terminate, then you work a week and quit without working the two week notice period your employer is not required to pay you for the notice period, they absolutely must pay you for the week you did work. Similarly if an employer tells you not to work the notice period they are still obliged to pay you for it.

I understand your confusion as the wording the clauses about withholding pay on notices is somewhat unclear and takes a pretty close reading to understand

Most adults have settled views on religion which they are unlikely to change during their life. A Muslim, Jew, mainstream Christian or a person of any other religious persuasion is just as likely to be totally uninterested in the preachings of a Mormon.

It was never proven because it never happened. The wikipedia article has much more detail.: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009%E2%80%9311_Toyota_vehicle_...

It is not merely coincidental that all unintended acceleration events occurred in automatic cars. Also, a widespread unintended acceleration problem has not been observed in Toyota cars outside the USA.

It's a shame that so many on HN are so swift to condemn Toyota

Surely its the other way around. It's reasonable to expect all adults to wear a seatbelt in a taxi but not reasonable to expect all taxis to carry child seats. It wouldn't be unusual to expect on occasion for a parent to travel with 3-3 children; should all taxis therefore carry 3 child seats? No. Should all adults travelling in taxis use a seatbelt when one is available and required when travelling in private transport? Surely yes.

Do the maths at $150 (a rate he nominated) and then tell him again that his whole argument has collapsed.

Surely an article like this belongs on reddit, not here?

In my experience people who love Laravel are typically CI or WP refugees. I am yet to encounter a single person who has switched from Symfony2 or ZF2 to Laravel and liked what they saw.

Extending the IoC container?? A ControllerFactory?? You never do anything like that in Symfony. The thing I appreciate most about Symfony2 is how it enforces good design patterns.

I would argue that Symfony is well engineered, not over engineered. The fact that Laravel is already at version 5 demonstrates just how poorly engineered it was in the first place.

> expect people to hold you on that promise

What promise did github make?

You clearly don't understand how HTTPS works.

Actually what most of those clauses are about is stating that only the contractual clauses that are inconsistent with the law are to be ignored, as opposed the entire contract being considered void.

Nope. He is a member of parliament but definitely not a member of government. There is an important distinction.

Australia is a country with free health care available to all citizens and no constitutional right to free speech. Hence laws banning making racist statements in public(amongst a great many other anti discrimination laws)

You are deluded

>> The fact that Apple even knows what this is is remarkable. I promise you not a single other tech company in the world would've spent the time to make this admittedly outdated looking option. But I absolutely love it. >Anybody who visits a watch store will find watches with that sort of strap a dime a dozen.

Re-read the bit about tech company, not watch company

The first generation iPod was Mac only. The 2nd generation iPod was Mac + Windows but iTunes was still Mac only. Windows syncing was done with third party software (Musicmatch Jukebox)

iTunes did not have a foothold in the marketplace until after the success of the iPod was evident.

> It might be inevitable, but its unfair.

If it is inevitable but unfair then fairness is not a relevant consideration. Nothing can be done to make a situation more fair if it is inevitable.

I don't want to get too political here but the previous government massively understated the cost of FTTP broadband. The money saved is much more substantial than $1bn. Whether it's a more effective long term investment is another question altogether.

Also, prices were not scheduled to drop for the broadband service. The Labor governments $30bn costing was predicated on NBN users paying more than they currently pay for ADSL services, and for those charges to increase annually.

> no other developed nation tries to tax foreign profits already taxed once again at home

That statement is demonstrably false. I know for a fact that in Australia foreign income is taxed again. Credits are available for some or all of the tax paid in the foreign country depending on the existence and nature of bilateral tax treaties between the two nations. I believe similar schemes operate in most developed nations.

Also of note is that the company tax rate in Australia is 30% but with far fewer special credits and discounts so the effective rate is quite close to the nominal rate.

If they were that good they would have patched heartbleed a lot sooner.

That's great, but you were aware of this issue for a month. If the whole point of having a bug bounty program is that you benefit from the distributed intelligence of the community you should perhaps place a bit more faith in your unpaid and unrewarded labor. Do you really receive thousands of invalid security reports every month or is user Schofield way out of their depth.

Why should another dev ever bother submitting a security issue to Yahoo if they have to deal with such obstinate silliness?

> He made a donation specifically intended to maliciously hurt my friends and neighbors.

Where the fuck did you get that idea? You just made that up. You don't know his specific purpose, you may think you can infer it but you certainly don't know it.

Furthermore, there is not a scintilla of evidence to suggest he acted out of malice. It is far more plausible that he considered gay marriage inconsistent with his religious beliefs and that he also felt compelled by his religion to defend his view of what marriage should be.

For some time being a couple of years since Prop 8 PASSED framed against a history of human existence of how many years?

Some proponents not all. Let's not tar them all with the same brush.

>> Mozilla is not an organisation with an agenda about marriage or LGBTQ rights.

>They disagree with you:

Perhaps I was careless with terminology, perhaps you took an unusual interpretation of what I said (see below.) I will let each reader draw their own conclusion. What I meant was that Mozilla is not an organisation established with the specific aim of advancing LGBTQ rights, nor equal marriage rights for all.

>> Brendan Eich is not and never has campaigned against their civil rights.

>Brendan Eich has given $1000 to remove access to marriage from same-sex couples. Marriage being a civil right (Loving v. Virginia) and money being speech (Buckley v. Valeo), yes he has campaigned against their civil rights.

Well done, you quoted some cases and used them to redefine "campaign" far away from any natural and commonly accepted meaning of the word. If you want to argue semantics not substance we could around in circles all day except that I am not interested and won't bother.

>> He was joined in his view by a MAJORITY of voters at that time.

>And he was just as wrong[0] as they were, why does the majority being idiotic make things any different?

The people of California were voting for what they thought marriage should be, not whether gay marriage was constitutional. They were therefore not wrong.

Do you support polygamy? Should minors be allowed to marry?

I don't care either way what your answers are to the above questions, but understand that if you say no to either then you are joining the majority in imposing your belief on a minority. In the first case there can be no reasonable justification for such a belief except that you believe in "traditional marriage." Perhaps that is what Brendan Eich believes in too?

> 1. Mozilla has appointed as a CEO someone who not only doesn't support same-sex marriage, but who has actively contributed to the campaign against it

Why is "active" support relevant. Surely it is his views that make so many uneasy.

> 2. The CEO is the public face of Mozilla, and to some extent sets the agenda.

This is true, but of what relevance? Mozilla is not an organisation with an agenda about marriage or LGBTQ rights.

> 3. There are quite a number of developers and others in the community, some of whom work at Mozilla, who are either in or will consider a same-sex marriage at some point in the future.

I expect there are also some Mormons and Muslims who may wish to practice polygamy, perhaps even some Jews who feel obliged to enter in to a levirate marriage despite already being married. I suspect that any alternative CEO would probably support monogamous marriages only. Presumably the board must enquire as to any candidate's opinion on this matter and woe betide any CEO anywhere who doesn't support polygamy. They too could be in for this kind of treatment.

> 4. These people are disappointed (reasonably so) that a person who is campaigning against their civil rights has been appointed to a relatively important and visible position.

Brendan Eich is not and never has campaigned against their civil rights. Furthermore, before this appointment Brendan Eich already held a "relatively important and visible position." Brendan Eich simply donated money towards a campaign that he supported for reasons we do not know. He was joined in his view by a MAJORITY of voters at that time.

You have allowed your political views to cloud your judgement.

Details of the satellite images and retasking of search aircraft would surely have leaked and the Australian government would have been rightly criticised for withholding that information had it not been announced.

The end of Mt Gox began a long time ago with delayed payouts of hard currency but this is surely the first nail in the coffin.

Pin will need to drop its prices to below stripe's or drastically improve the product. I started in integrating pin payments into my SaaS app and gave up when I realised pin would send an ugly email to my customers _every_ time I charged them. Ugh, no thanks.
