To group the US in with the likes of N. Korea and China is dishonest and inaccurate. If the US were run by either of those governments, you would not have Jon Oliver, Washington Post, etc. exposing and criticizing the very issues you mention.

That is a non sequitur. He's talking about grouping countries by specific criteria. To make a code parallel, if you ran

  select from countries group by police_score;

and

  select from countries group by freedom_of_press_index; 

You'd expect different results. Maybe there would be a correlation, and the US would be an outlier.

Well, you said that "to group the US in with the likes of N. Korea and China is dishonest and inaccurate." So although you didn't expressly state that you didn't think the US has a police state problem, you did seem to think that grouping with other states with this same problem was deceptive. The only odd part was that you used as your justification an assessment that, in a completely separate (albeit obviously related) set of criteria, these states don't belong in the same group.

Thank you. This was the most constructive reply I've received.

I do acknowledge the issues raised by OP; my quote: "...exposing and criticizing the very issues you mention."

I read the original comment as a generalization that the US is grouped in with those other countries due to these issues. My reply was simply to refute that primarily on the fact that we have the ability to discuss and solve these issues that those other countries do not have. It is an important distinction in my opinion.

Maybe I misread the intent - it appears from some of the fiery responses I've received that may be true. :(

There is obviously a disconnect between what you think you wrote and how it reads to others. Perhaps instead of getting defensive you should acknowledge that the confusion is valid and apologize for being unclear.

People are responding to your exact comment, not guessing what you might be thinking.

What he's saying is that it is accurate, in a technical sense, even though you are right that it is a bit misleading.

Free speech is one facet of analysis. It's an important one, but doesn't invalidate the others.

You accused the OP of being "dishonest and inaccurate" because he neglected to mention the differences in freedoms of speech. The parallels he draws are independent of that concern.

Of the hotels I've viewed, it appears the images are hosted on TravelNow, which (I believe) is owned by Expedia. If that is the case, they are probably using EAN's API for part or all of it.

dev here; yea, we're using EAN for sourcing the hotels that people initially book - but we have many more other OTAs integrated for tracking prices the way you could look at it is that we try and capture peoples traveling intent with an API which is relatively easy and fast-performing, then we try in our own time to find something better

> We are all adults, can't we just sit down and talk and sort out issues?

I really wish this were universally true, but many of us deal with the wildly different personalities of our co-workers and bosses. This leaves some uneasy and insecure about sharing even constructive feedback. I don't think surveys are the answer, but for some it is much easier to take those than try to tip-toe around.

Grass doesn't grow on a busy street...

Yes, but that doesn't imply they're justifying a financial cost. It could be that they need to justify creating a new repo and figuring out how/where to host it.

Not how I read that.

>So, one big reason for not moving Krita's development to github is that I simply do not trust them.

>We cannot be forced by a venture capitalist to monetize our projects by adding malware installers. We own our stuff, which means we can trust our stuff.

Whether you agree or disagree, they did in fact make an argument.

Thanks, that's more of what I was looking for.

What if I want to have this authentication process on my email account itself? :) The only other option (soon to be available) is SMS. Seems a bit too limiting and maybe not completely practical.

Hmmm... 8GB max? That doesn't cut it for the amount of claims data I generally deal with. Any rationale behind that limit?

That's the most that we have on the calculator, but we can help you with whatever your need. Email me (mark@catalyze.io) and we can work with you to meet your infrastructure needs.

You've obviously never been to Coeur d’Alene. It is a vacation destination for many up here and I don't think there anyone would consider it a haven for neo-Nazis.
