A few ideas to consider: Do you mandate working tests and reasonable test coverage as part of your checkins? That could help, but it if you don't currently do that, productivity wi…

No, the police bear no responsibility for someone issue a false report. That's a crime for a reason. If you report your car stolen, the police don't first investigate you to be sur…

Presidents, like leaders in business or the military, realize that they don't have the current experience, situational knowledge, or training necessary to dictate details on the gr…

MIT might be a better license for broad adoption. Both GPL and LGPL are viral licenses. They serve a purpose, but you need to assess if that purpose is the same as yours.

The one that allows you to run your application on the computer you are using.

Data in iCloud is going to be encrypted by the host provider in-transit and at rest. That is not the same as being encrypted at the source by Apple. It means that Google, Amazon, A…

They do. I saw it happen.

In many ways it's really a meta-rant on the criticism's he's received about his first article. And where it's not, it is mostly just re-litigating the same arguments he made previo…

Board members' opinions always count. However, individually, they may not be influential enough to change the direction of the company, which I think is what you are saying?

True to an extent--meaning mostly true in practice. You can mutate the Git data if you chose to using commands like "filter-branch". "filter-branch" isn't used frequently, since it…

So, what's your opposition to the special district that provides Disney with the ability to maintain it's property is a manner that is consistent with their business needs--which s…

As noted elsewhere in this thread: the special district laws and the RCID, specifically, have survived constitutional review by the Florida Supreme Court. The state certainly under…

The state doesn't, the taxpayers of Orange and Osceola counties pay for it.

Given that this law went from draft to law in under 96 hours, it's hardly surprising that the implications were not fully reviewed or understood by the legislature. Further, a numb…

Disney's land straddles two counties. That raises a number of logistical challenges such as zoning, level of service, different priorities between the counties, which would ultimat…

Having been "backstage" at Disney to dive in the aquarium in Epcot, I can tell you it's not just the streets, it's everything, even things most people will never see. It's a part o…

Just the characterization of Disney's opposition to the "Parental Rights in Education" bill as "misbehaving", is telling. Voicing you opposition of government legislation is a righ…

Where are those calls prior to Disney's opposition to the "Parentel Rights in Education" bill? Special districts are widely used in Florida. It's not like it's some great secret.

It's your interpretation that Disney should never have had those rights. The state of Florida clearly strongly disagrees with you, given that they have granted the same/similar rig…

So, your position is that it's OK if it's political revenge against Disney, because they make lots of money? You realize that is a very slippery slope, right? The first amendment c…

So why aren't you advocating for the repeal of the 1843 other special districts in Florida, which also include Sea World, and Universal, as well as HOAs, and wide variety of other …
