Do LGBT orgs count as charity in his definition?

Why don't you research those answers yourself if they're of paramount importance to you?

In the information age and the knowledge society, unfortunately we don't need this industrial revolution legacy of boom in population growth to service factories and mines and the AI era and app economy would exacerbate the problem and squeeze more people.
We as humanity at a crossroads in our history as species and a civilization and we need to stand up to this challenge and conquer our problems and fears.
Finally, I must congratulate on your contributions to the progress of humanity, every good word counts and every good idea enriches out lives.
Thank you for all!

You consider this progress at least in terms of PR & communications?

The Petrodollar standard set by Nixon helps for sure.

I can attest to that. I am not American and I believe that one of the bright spots in America is the entrepreneurial spirit of its people in general.
People in America love taking risk and pushing the envelope experimenting with new stuff and technologies and that's one of the major strengths of this nation but I wouldn't go too far to express something like this far better than anyone else in the world. That's just absurd patriotism and there's no doubt about it.

It's taking them a long time since the announcement of the new framework at React conf. They said they would release an Android compatible version soon and still we're waiting for any updates beside the usual cliche.

You're into commercials and marketing hype?

The lingering question for me now seems to be if these people can afford purchasing the services of Alfred & Co, why didn't they pick or hire a maid to do all the domestic chores & errands for them???

Good job Lauren ... I really enjoyed reading the article ... NYT caliber indeed but I wish that you could give more space to workers so they could express their points of view regarding the whole situation.

Now you make $50/hour, wait till commoditization hit your profession and see your wage dwindle before your own eyes.

Don't you know already the rules governing date-time in js?
It seems to me that you are not doing your homework and studying hard to get things done professionally.
timepiece | 11 years ago | on: “We have decided not to integrate the Dart VM into Chrome”
So, in a previous statement you said you code in Python & Lua and now you say that you code in CS/Dart which are more or less dialects of js.
You seem very agitated and disturbed for no apparent reason. We're discussing prog langs after all. Maybe you need to explore sports or politics to vent your anger as it's building up and you might explode anytime :L:
timepiece | 11 years ago | on: “We have decided not to integrate the Dart VM into Chrome”
which is simply not worth anyone's time
If you wanna do any consumer facing web stuff, you gotta code in js in one way or another. So, if you don't do any web stuff that's fine but other people doing any serious front or back end web stuff have to master the language to get the maximum out of their work.
Anyway, good luck with your darling langs

No one is forcing you to write in js. You can write in any language you want and then compile to js.
Why you have such intense and strong feeling toward a programming language?
It's just a programming language after all, nothing more nothing less

Just a typo but good catch though :)
timepiece | 11 years ago | on: “We have decided not to integrate the Dart VM into Chrome”
It's more of a testament of the intellectual laziness of some devs to pick up the language and put real efforts to master it.

It doesn't need to be on a massive scale or not pro-bono. It's enough to some people in the govt to volunteer and go on a disinformation field trip.
timepiece | 11 years ago | on: House Introduces Bill to Repeal the Patriot Act
I hear someone in the security line (which to me resembles a cattle chute) remarking that they're in fact glad for the inconvenience
They could be govt stooges (field agents) implanted to distort public opinion and create a false narrative that the general public is happy with these draconian procedures and that they're very popular (peer pressure) to advance their agenda and support the status-quo.
