Presumably because most people don't think that "going out and doing something" is inherently superior to "watching movies and TV".

Gitlab CE is open source, but Gitlab EE is not. EE does have some features that CE is lacking.

Personally, I think that their evidence of prejudicial behavior was pretty weak, which is the stance that Ginsburg and Sotomayor took as well. It will be interesting to see what happens the next time a case like this makes it to the Supreme

I suggest that anyone interested in the case read the actual ruling. It's not that long and not hard to understand. [1] Personally, I thought that the majority ruling and the dissent were both pretty compelling. I'm not sure where

You can't force them to bake a cake for someone, but you can fine them, throw them in jail, or put them out of business for refusing. However, I suggest reading the Court's opinions to see what reasons they actually used in their

I haven't heard anyone say anything bad about Azure that can't be said about AWS, GCP, or whatever IBM calls their cloud hosting service. That is exactly the kind of feature I think they will implement. They will probably add more

I don't really care if you choose MacOS over Windows. Plenty of people do. There are good reasons to. I even agree with you on some of your points. My contention is that you implied that Windows 10 does not even meet the low bar of &qu

I'm not sure how Linux's viability as a desktop OS is relevant to Windows being usable or unusable. I have no idea what else they've installed, just like I have no idea what MacOS or Linux install. They're all black boxe

I'd love to see some sources on your claim that they are colluding to avoid paying market rates to developers.

Yes there is. I have no problem with people saying Windows 10 isn't good, even if I personally think it's good. The "goodness" of an operating system is pretty subjective. I do have a problem with people calling it barel

Last I checked, AWS is in first place by a wide margin, followed by Azure and then IBM in third. Google is trailing all of them at the moment.

Unless you've got some data to back that claim up, it's likely that the answer is "it doesn't, and some kind of bias just makes it appear that way to you".

I just installed OSMand to try it out, and it didn't have the street I live on. It also didn't have my place of work on it, although it did have that street at least. Seems worse than Google maps to me.

Thus far we've only seen ARM chips that can compete with the low end of Intel's offerings. An ARM processor in the 12" Macbook makes sense. I don't see Apple switching the MacBook Pro line to ARM in the next five years,

My point was that Russia and China (and France, the UK, and many other nations) are going to develop them anyways, regardless of whether the US develops them. Anyone who likes living in a world where the US has military superiority over Rus

And one of our largest welfare programs. It's pretty easy for an 18 year old with no marketable skills to join the military and end up with some skills and a free college education.

The percentage of people that had access to a Commodore 64 was relatively small, so a person had a high chance of not having access. That means it was lucky to have had access. The percentage of people that are killed in a car accident is

Yes, that is quite obviously luck. People don't get to choose your parents. You were lucky enough to have parents that taught you about investing at an early age. Hard work and luck are both parts of success. Humans just have a tendenc

I'm not saying it's all luck. Hard work is important. Luck is also important. It's pointless to argue over which is more important in my opinion. However, a lot of successful people (including the person I was originally resp

My logic concludes no such thing. Assuming you believe that genetics plays a role in our skills and traits, then luck also plays a role. A person has no control over their genetics. A person also has no control over the economic status of t

The concepts of pain and pleasure don't really apply to many forms of life. Bacteria, plants, fungus. The only goal that all livings things share is the drive to reproduce. Anything without that drive dies out, which explains why it&#x
