Now is the best time in history to commit federal crimes. Just make sure you have an extra $2m for a pardon and you can do anything you want. You could probably even pre-pay the bribe and avoid being charged altogether.

Why are you responding with superficial takes? Are you trolling? It's not complicated... I don't trust the judgement of someone that behaves this way. I have no idea what the contract said, or who is in the right. All I know is I&

I didn't say anything about the legality... They asked how to block email. Both of these would work. There's no reason to respond to questions or points nobody is making.

You say that as if airing your problems on the internet is a reasonable solution for most people. We have small claims courts in every jurisdiction in the US. It costs $50 to file, and you do not need an attorney. The courts will review the

I have no idea what the contract says, what was paid, or any of the other conversations they've had. All I see is someone complaining publicly about a private matter. When that happens, I assume they're wrong. Normal people don&#x

Absolutely no one has read a language specification before writing hello world. Even as a developer with 30+ years experience, I'll write a dozen simple programs before I ever read a specification... I'm looking for examples of ba

Table based layouts were deprecated even 15 years ago. It goes against your point that things change frequently. > do you consider yourself a person who 'knows CSS'? Sure. They know an older version of CSS. They don't know

There's nothing wrong with using something before learning it. In fact, I'd argue most people can't learn something without first using it. You can read all the programming books in the world. Actually writing a hello world p

This is a different problem and disciplin. I'm not an artist. I can't design anything pretty. But I can learn a programming language (or CSS) well enough that I can replicate something an artist designs. We have an entire design o

Sure, I hate the way my teeth feel if I don't brush. But I also don't care enough to use a gross plane bathroom. If I'm that concerned, I'd use some mouthwash.

It's fine. If you're consistent, you can go a few days and it won't make a difference to your health.

You, when you confused OSI's opinion with "fact". There's no natural law or man-made law that makes your opinion fact.

It is absurd to think that releasing open source code also requires releasing thousands of terabytes of Twitter and Reddit posts. You already have access to all the training data everyone else is using.... You can download an offline versio

Training data and the weights produced are not source code, just as access to the resulting binaries are not a requirement for open source. Open source does not require full working implementations. There's no requirement that a code s

This is an opinion article and you should realize that opinions do not make definitions. "Conversely, Richard Stallman argues the "obvious meaning" of term "open source" is that the source code is public/access
