Where are the contributions ?
We could not care less. Stop steamrolling and trying to capture all the value of initiatives outside of your conglomerate.
> Niko, for example, plans to continue posting ideas to his babysteps blog before they are fully formed, and he is counting on the Rust community to continue to poke holes in them.
Well, I guess personal notes/braindump counts as contribution now as well. Can I use that for my CV? :D
You probably could if you had a record of accomplishment and Rust leadership like Niko does! (And if you did I would assume your personal notes / braindump would be worth reading).
Creation vs. consumption.
If everyone consumes, who creates ?
And why is everyone pushed towards consumption of content.
Easy vs. hard.
The hard way is the right way.
It's written on the box : does not stop germs or viruses. A mask is made for surgeons to stop blood or other bodily fluids. Furthermore, disposable masks are full of harmful chemical compounds. And last, if you wear a mask and touch it you bring the germs closer to your mouth. And last, if you're not ill you ain't transmittin' nothin'. This is a joke.
Covid is not really airborne in the sense it doesn't float by itself but travels through micro droplets of saliva, which is... (dramatic pause) a bodily fluid!
How on Earth, after a year, you are so ignorant about it?
That was the messaging in the first couple of months, and why social distancing was thought to be sufficient: The droplets would fall to the ground before traveling very far.
Then several months later we started hearing about how the virus can hang in the air for hours in buildings with poor ventilation; that's aerosols, not droplets. At that point social distancing does almost nothing, and even masks are questionable since it can far far more easily go around the edges of any masks, and slip through cloth masks in ways droplets can't.
I am not going to debate my own ignorance, only fact here : you're impolite sir. And you know that most germs are destroyed by oxygen and sunlight ? And the spanish flu backfire was provoked by masks ? And microdroplets fall to the ground they do not levitate in the air ? Do you know about gravity ?
Many people are contagious without realizing it. Some of my own family spread it between each other on Christmas and the spreader wasn't symptomatic until after they had infected others.
The event was within guidelines. And even if you they are assholes that doesn't change the point that you can't say "people who aren't sick don't need to wear masks", since people are unable to self determine if they are sick or not.
If you got a lot of money you should give back to what propelled you there. You may call it investing with a loss but that'd be just the right thing to do. Everything is not about the money, making money and more money.
aws steamrolling at its best. big tech at its worst. Even worse is the PR stunt "for the community".
Lies lies and lies. Wake up. They could have done things by the book by collaborating with the ES team. They didn't. Don't ever let them feed on lack of true knowledge. Build infrastructures that can be deployed anywhere. Support the OSS products you buy if you can. Reevaluate.
