Any sufficiently advanced malice is indistinguishable from stupidity.
If they asked about it and you answered, they would no longer have a good excuse to not hire you.
And we are not the ones that live in the future...
This two pre-bronze age tribes live in it, the future we all will experience with collapse of our natural world and our civilization.
It's not a law if it can be selectively enforced against individuals, powers that be don't like.
prompt> Make as much money as you can, starting now.
Sell two of your kidneys, as far as I know humans have at least three of them
Because there is still time.
We might not stop what is already happening or what will happen, but we still have time to make it less severe than it would be if no action would be made.
We still can save lives, not all of them but some and for this people it will make a difference.
So you can prepare for what is to come.
Things that are plenty and cheap to replace are easy to hack because if you broke them, you could always try again...
Not doing anything is also an alternative, theoretically it can be worse than other alternatives too...
> It's easy to say these anti-capitalistic platitudes, but do you really want to live in a society where the concept of private ownership is not supported by the state?
>
There is a country that allows police to just take your stuff and then demands you to prove it wasn't illegal. Also such property can be used/sold/spent by police force it was stolen by. Does it sound like private ownership is supported by the state? BTW. It's called civil forfeiture and country is named USA.

Don't ask what they will gain from owning it, ask what they will gain from others not owning it...
Just because something is in do-or-die situation doesn't mean that they have some kind of magical advantage over fat cat. Being in that situation means there is very real possibility of doing "die" part and we have lots of examples of them doing so.
Also Theranos was do-or-die and we know how it ended.
Easy way is not doing charter schools.
Why are they bad? Charter school can choose what children they will teach when public schools don't have that choice, then people point at charter schools as having higher outcomes. In essence charter schools are a tool to discriminate students from poor families.
And how many people would have been saved if he didn't forcibly extracted that money from society to begin with?
Because it's almost impossible to not help someone if he just throw wads of money at random. What important is how many people weren't saved because he decided to be a middle man in all of it?
His "charitable" contributions are only in place to charity wash his awful actions in the past and now. And it worked, everyone thinks of Saint Bill and his supposed good deeds while forgetting what he actually did or doing right now.
>They've admitted the US education work was a mistake. They are hardly alone in making that mistake, improving education in the US is hard.
It's only hard if you don't want to help anyone and your only goal is to push charter schools(by any other name) by any means necessary.
>Their work to clean water and cure diseases has saved millions of lives. They know what they are good at and they've decided to double down on that.
They helped so many people by not allowing them getting covid vaccine or by fighting generics?
Also their "good" deeds weren't without negative consequences that could be avoided if someone actually listened to people they were "helping".
He uses philanthropy to force his ideology on everyone and his ideology doesn't work. His philanthropy makes things worse not better.
At some point it stops being a philanthropy when it makes lives of people he tries to "help" worse. Like his actions have a ulterior motives...
>The kind of piece of shit who donates basically his entire fortune to charity?
So he is no longer a billionaire?
And donating to what charity, The Gates Foundation? The one that he controls?
The one that he uses to push his ideological stances and repeatedly fails to help anyone?
Just look how successful his work on improving education system in America was.
What a sacrifice it was for him...
Language or the way we use it is often used to exclude "undesired", so there is a point in using them. Not a very nice point, but a point nevertheless.
> I am surprised no one has started a go fund me to make a fund just to bribe politicians to fix tax filing.

It will not work, part of compensation is being hired as lobbyist after you "retire" from public office. So either go fund me will do the same or it will fail.
You mean free speech zones...
Proper term for it is Computer Assisted Plagiarism, CAP for short.
Also, I really hope that Google doesn't claim it created sites it crawl for search their engine.
Point of friction is to have it as a filter against people who really need your help.
Helping people necessitates taking some action, spending resources, potentially making some errors that can be taken against you.
But on the other hand, refusing to help people without any reason or flimsy reason is also frowned upon.
Adding friction is a perfect solution, now you want to help everyone but this stupid/pesky/lazy people just aren't able to follow simple(they ain't) instructions how to properly follow process of acquiring etc.
Now it's their fault, so no action is needed on you behalf.
Google doesn't provide "entire operating system source code", it provides some parts, while other they keep closed. Also they are continuously removing parts that are essential from AOSP (that are either open or closed).
Removing support for Pixel devices makes AOSP even less useful for developers, because belief that VM will be a good replacement for real hardware test environment is a fairy tale next to sleeping beauty.
So no, they don't provide "entire operating system source code", what they provide is a caricature of open source project. So maybe they should call it COSP.
Licence also prevent you from modifying generated code.
First you can download specifications in either PDF or doc(x). Second doc(x) are simple enough that simple doc(x) to ASCII/text is good enough to produce working ASN.1 definition. Copy&paste is also an option.
> A homelab with an useable uplink can be sufficient for many services like blog, DNS, mail.
I always felt like you are painting target on your homelab when you allow outside access.
