n2burns,

The release doesn’t say it’s going FOSS. It doesn’t specify, but it hints that it’ll be “Source Available”. Stuff like:

Winamp will remain the owner of the software and will decide on the innovations made in the official version.

n2burns,

Mmm yes, business news about unions at a car tech company. Definitely why I subscribed to a tech community.

FTFY. Tesla is a tech company that makes cars. Their union busting practices are business decisions, which in turn affect the industry, which again, is technology.

n2burns,

I’m not sure if it’s really worth considering an article from the Toronto Sun, citing “people on social media”. Especially when it quotes stuff like:

“Welcome to Canada, home to everyone but Canadians.”

A large portion of people receiving those benefits are literally new citizens, and while “newcomers” might not be “Canadians” by everyone’s definition, they are at very least “prospective Canadians”. Also, as the article points out at the end, Parks Canada has been providing free access to more and more Canadians including Veterans, youth, and those with disabilities.

n2burns,

I know this seems like Niantic is free-loading, but this is intentionally-allowed by the ODbL license and honestly, might be a good business decision even without considering the licensing fees. OSM is almost 20 years old and as a community led project, is probably more predictable and stable than a Google license which could change drastically from one contract to the next.

As a OSM contributor, I’m more than happy to see my work used this way, and as @QuadratureSurfer pointed out, OSM has seen a lot of benefit too.

n2burns,

He argued it’s easier for customers to “point fingers” at grocers like Loblaw than at other players in the supply chain or global factors leading to higher prices.

Given Loblaws has control over a lot of that supply chain and has record profits over the last few years, so…

Tesla’s in its flop era (www.theverge.com)

When Tesla releases its first quarter earnings this afternoon, the company’s CEO Elon Musk will field the usual questions about new products, new factories, and progress toward its futuristic vision of self-driving cars and robot workers. But Musk will also face increasingly urgent questions about its current state of affairs...

n2burns,

So far, SpaceX has been run with much less Musk involvement. That could change on a whim, but so far it seems to be a pretty well run government-supplier under Gwynne Shotwell.

The recall affects 3,878 Cybertrucks, which cost roughly $61,000 (£48,320), made between November 2023 and April 2024.

This is a bit off topic, but the $61K RWD trim is “available in 2025”, so the recalled vehicles are either the $80K AWD trim or $100K Cyberbeast trim.

n2burns,

The article doesn’t really explain it, but assume this is because you can’t use 3rd party app stores on Fitbit devices? So to avoid opening to competition, they’re removing anything that could be interpreted as a store?

n2burns,

Yup. I’ve volunteered at a couple thrift stores, and we’d just toss stuff like this.

n2burns,

Can someone explain to me how this is “A Breach of Yemeni Sovereignty”? It seems like these actions are supported by the internationally recognized government in Yemen. (I’m not asking about the validity of these actions, or the horrendous effects of them. Just the sovereignty question)

Also, is this the interviewee? It appears she is a language and literacy assistant professor who happens to be Yemeni American, not an expert on the Yemen war, international law, or anything else relevant to these events.

And the next paragraph:

The jet had been prevented from making long-haul flights over water so that the plane “could return very quickly to an airport” in the event the warnings happened again, NTSB chief Jennifer Homendy said.

Which makes it sound like they couldn’t find the source of that warning but weren’t willing to completely write it off.

Nevermind:

“An additional maintenance look” was requested but “not completed” before the incident, Ms Homendy said.

n2burns,

For many of us, we don’t care because he’s famous, but we hear it because he’s famous. He has a platform, and he chooses to use it! You’re getting dangerously close to “Shut up and dribble” territory.

n2burns,

It’s not “when” they put green bubbles in but how they’ve been maliciously modifying the design of green bubbles. They have made them progressively harder to read, here’s one article about it: uxdesign.cc/how-apple-makes-you-think-green-bubbl…

I’m not sure if the Author just doesn’t understand the situation or is misrepresenting it on purpose.

Either way, a lack of STV isn’t the reason the House Speaker election is going this way. Republican members who are not voting for “the Republican Candidate” know their vote is a protest/obstruction. If the House had RCV, the Speaker Pro Tempore wouldn’t call a vote until the Republicans had the vote, lest Hakeem Jeffries be elected Speaker.

I fully support Ranked Choice, Instant Run-off, Mixed-Member Proportional, etc., but this is not a supporting case

n2burns,

You miss-read (or didn’t read) the article if that’s your take-away. It’s saying the long-term effects can be roughly the same. It’s not equivocating the actions themselves.

n2burns,

“The Bible is clear, and the history of Christendom broadly is clear, that it’s the church’s responsibility to meet the needs of the poor and to ensure that people have the services that they need to live flourishing lives,” Conzatti said.

Besides just the practical craziness of the idea that you have to belong to a church to get social services, I don’t think the Bible makes it clear at all that social services are the church’s responsibility and not the state’s.

n2burns,

But it might be the future for airplanes, which need a lot more energy density.

Specifically density by weight. By volume, which is more important to cars, hydrogen also loses.

n2burns,

So you’re suggesting ruining someone’s life because you’re pissy about political theatrics they are a criminal?

FTFY.

n2burns,

Please read the article before making your xenophobic proclamation. This has nothing to do with “illegal” immigration. The Temporary Foreign Worker program brings in employees legally. Once in Canada many employers illegally exploit these employees under threat that if the employees report their conditions, their contract will be terminated.

n2burns,

The employees ARE being compelled to work under threat. It might not be dictionary definition slavery, which is why the article calls it one of the “contemporary forms of slavery”.

n2burns,

I’m not sure he’s “learned” anything. Good article otherwise!
