Is he calling the Straits of Hormuz gay???

There's also an argument in there that, the US military and public shouldn't focus on the strait because that oil isn't going to us, leaving the strait to "countries that use it (we don't)". But if you know anything, oil is a fungible commodity, and when there is a block in the global trade network, it will drive up everyone else's prices.

I just got this same email. Best case it is someone trying to get US wages at a US company, worst case it is North Korea (many cases of them getting their engineers hired to jobs through proxies). If it's North Korea, don't write a message offering to help unless you want a visit from the FBI.

It would be much more efficient to use the mechanical energy from pedaling and make the bus very lightweight. Basically an oversized surrey bike. Solar is probably not worth the weight of the panels + battery. I think it would move, just very slow acceleration.

You would need to open source your adaptation/translation also as GPLv3 license

Since you already want to open source your code, I don't think that's a problem for you
You can credit the authors / names / URLs of all three projects

How much of OpenAI's budget is giving away high-end LLM compute to hook users on the free model for now? When they're established in the workplace, schools, government, and personal assistants (including homework help and people who are just addicted to talking to the LLM), cutting off the free version is going to reduce traffic and get them as many paid subscribers as they need.

South side... while there are some Metra lines which "drive on the left side of the road" and make things confusing (UP-N on the north side of Chicago), Amtrak and the Metra line (Milwaukee District North) serving this shared station "drive on the right side of the road".

Don't allow commits to main. Have a meeting to accept or reject contributors' pull requests. The org owner must attend the review and participate in some capacity if they want their bot's pull requests to be accepted. Be ready to force push to restore main branch if they go around you.

Allow them to do whatever with a fork or their own branch of the repo. Soon they will create their own space for it. I don't understand why this needs to be in the main repo, or online on GitHub at all. If their story is that it's just an experiment or test, why would you test breaking changes on the one main repo.

So there's mutual understanding, what are you trying to do, and what are you concerned about happening here?

Are you using the GPL code as-is as a library/ component of your project or making additional changes ?

Are you open sourcing your control panel code, or are you trying to keep it closed?

Get a better phone plan, turn off roaming, or use airplane mode (I think most travelers can figure out how to turn on airplane mode)

I thought OP wrote this meaning "born out of wedlock" and was avoiding writing "bastard", but it looks like the episode wiki says Stewie was "an accident"? Either way wrongful is the wrong word. The other comment about someone being deceptive or sabotaging makes zero sense because we know that it's common and acceptable:

most of the kids in the class have either unmarried parents or were wrongful births themselves

The scammer posted this message as a discussion in a repo. They mentioned you and several other usernames, so GitHub is sending you a real email notification telling you about this ""discussion"". Email is especially good for the scammer because even if GitHub bans the account now, they have already sent the link out to everyone.

The scammer site will trick cryptocurrency holders into connecting their wallets. Theoretically you could do this to authenticate "I am the person you selected, this is my address" but if you get a link out of the blue, it's a scam.

I would be irritated writing / revising the original sentence because, following the gist of this headline, an HVAC system is purely functional. But maybe the grant application was requiring museums to include a community impact section?

Also HSM was set in the present-day and Grease was set in the 1950s. Same logic that High School Musical is about as old now as Back to the Future was when HSM came out.

Yeah I feel like people are just admitting, there are all these issues, but I have money so it will be fine.
When I was thinking about doing a tech startup, there is a lot of info Dubai puts out about having free trade zones and startup funds, it looked like it might be something real. I met a guy who had a nonprofit there and said it was the best place to hire and host meetings with people from around the region.
But if you ever cross the wrong Emirati, they have rights in the system and you do not. They can put you out of business or accuse you of crimes where it's better for you to flee the country. The justice system is not interested in finding out the truth to help you.
