Ubuntu phone is still on.


It is great to see end-user products!


Very handy!


Thanks, It all started when I got asked whether I could build a simple way to download specific areas of google maps. The following day a college asked whether it was possible to just get the traffic layer and download it for further analysis. So map-dl was born :-)


If humans were to grow up without social structure or education, they would not be very effective at survival. It is due to learning skills through education, etc that makes humans effective.

What we have here is specific populations of corvid species that grew up in relative isolation/protection that enabled them to have social structure to exist between generations.

It should be feasible to influence other corvid populations to show such remarkable feats. As long as there is no big mortality, the younger birds should learn from the older.


Did you read the article? They tested newly-hatched chicks that had never seen a tool be used, and the chicks still instinctively tried to use tools (though they were clumsy at first, and gained skill at using the tools over a few months).


Looks like she found in MI6 the justification to a life of affairs.


Some AOO developers appear to have a superiority complex. It is visible in the discussion.


There are people on both sides that suffer from that condition. It does nothing to improve or further the discussion.


It becomes obvious from the discussion that Linus is specifically focused on those cases that companies became Linux-friendly after long-term encouragement. He probably took part in such cases.

In addition, he has in mind that companies can abuse the GPLv2 and just do code dumps.

It makes sense what he has in mind but his attitude is too much drama.


It looks like a simple issue that transformed into drama due to the attitudes on the lkml.

It is obvious that there will be cases that the GPL will have to be enforced. Was accepted by the other side in the end.

The SFLC will only undertake a case if they have the support of copyright owners, not on their own volition.


Note that there exists a different organization known as "SFLC", but the linked discussion occurred with the Software Freedom Conservancy (or just "Conservancy"), which specifically avoids using the acronym "SFC" to avoid confusion with SFLC.


Thanks for the clarification.


Trump and his media people want to get their opponents to become uncomfortable, stressed and start making mistakes. It is a strategy that worked too well in the primaries and they want to repeat in the election.


The article is a hodgepodge of anecdotes. Does not make an effort to attach some science to it.
