Seems to be a done deal. GitHub while a money maker never went for big profits and was just as likely to make losses.
Expect to see a lot of talk about setting up a not for profit Github replacement. This will come to nothing but GitHub’s competitors will feel some benefits.

Does Israel have a right to exist?
No, people have a right to exist.
This is starting to sound like a bubble but the world of tech has run out of dev leads and senior engineers everywhere. That even includes China and India.
Steve Yegge, ex-googler and habitual bombthrower 💣, says that the best way to improve your salary right now is not to stay at your current job but to look for another one. The skills you developed at one place are more valuable on the open market than they are within the company you are currently in.
All of this feels true, even in relative backwaters like Melbourne and Sydney.
Israel is a sick country run by sick cunts.
The only reason why it can get away with any of this is because it’s being propped up by the United States.

“The IDF says they wouldn’t have shot Razan al-Najjar if she hadn’t been trying to save Palestinian lives.”
That’s not a defence force.. that’s just a bunch of murderers protected by America..
The UN are powerless, all Israel needs when nations propose action is for the US to veto the vote and presto … problem solved.
Microsoft trying the buy GitHub for $5 billion.
In Conclusion, Palestine is a Land of Contrasts
This is, without exaggeration, most useful indoor umbrella I’ve ever seen.

It’s a shame. I was enjoying the rebooted Joy-Ann so much.
I guess having their plans to bury this military contract published in the New York Times was the kind of PR disaster than Google was trying to prevent.
Don’t expect this to change the fundamentals however. Google is a military contractor just like Amazon and other silicon valley giants. They are actively seeking ways exploit machine learning, mass surveillance, cloud and computing muscle to sell to the world’s militaries.
There is no positive way to spin this. You are either for or against the imperial war machine. Google is a typical American corporation so naturally it is in favour.
