I was there in 2005 and we were basically told point-blank that we couldn't open source _anything_ without running it by a manager first. This was at a time where all engineers were basically housed in the main 4 buildings on the north campus, so not yet all that big. Not sure what grace they fell from, but I found it to be a nauseating sanctimonious place even then.
Alberta has shown us that proper policy incentives can drive meaningful change. Instead of leaving rats to languish in cellars, they created incentives for them to do meaningful work in the provincial government instead.
It also depends on how hot the housing market is at any given time. Often time a realtor is just someone who decided everything else was too much work. (My whole family has been in the business for almost 70 years, both commercial and residential.)
Whenever I read Cory Doctorow, I feel like someone took the complement of Paul Graham's writing and posted it. I personally find both of them vapid and annoying.

I wonder what degoogled chromium will do. I think it's perfectly reasonable for them to drop MV2 support given all the other stuff they're doing, but it would be nice if I could continue to use full uBlock with it.
Sega decided to make a console-first online game. It was sci-fi from the beginning, but the Phantasy Star veneer was added later in development. The creators of PSO are on-record saying that the only thing PSO shares with the classic PS games are names of things.
Strangely, I posted this just a few days ago (I've been playing Phantasy Star Portable recently)
I just use index cards and a pen, but I wish I was a competent enough sketcher to make them look as cute as these printout templates. These look great.
The chain goes ever on. My Italian-Canadian aunts and uncles never forgot the Irish-Canadians who threw rocks at them on the way to school and called them wops.
