I haven't read the discussion but this seems like the obvious answer considering the flag only needs to be set during test.

Presumably this might miss some edge case (where something else also needs the flag?) though an explicit allow of the mockito agent in the jvm arg would have solved for that.

You can and should explicitly specify Mockito as an agent in the JVM configuration, as it is one.

I think a better question is if there is an operating framework that would remove Microsoft's ability to sanction individuals on the whim of the current US administration in lieu of the appropriate EU institutions.

Microsoft's partnership/JV with 21Vianet in China shows that it can be done (with limitations on features) and this is probably the right direction to go.

We currently use both vendors.

If anything, this might make us stick with PA longer as they are the "niche" in our environment and presumably we will want to combine the contracts.

It's actually more than a few minutes. I can't speak for other places, but generally there will be an agent that is monitoring many inbound chats, and in a lot of cases the resolution can likewise be automated.

In the past this was managed by a fairly deep call queue, and has saved fairly significant amount of $ vs receiving and resolving everything manually.

Indeed we have internal clients (vs paying customers) but overall this has been quite successful for us.

+1 they told me I could only unban by adding a mobile number, which I have no interest in giving them. It's fine! Certainly not a service I'd rely on.

That's nothing. Meta may ask you to send them a picture of your government issued ID to be unbanned.

They promise to delete images within 30 days (yeah they may delete images, but for sure not the metadata).

Docs are a bit sparse, hard to tell what support is like for these but seems a bit limited/new: - job dependencies, success/failure conditions, retry logic, etc etc - process/user impersonation/delegation - custom calendars and execution times "ie last business friday of the month"

Deal breaker for us, since alternatives exist that aren't so hobbled.

I get legal having issues with GPL but LGPL???

It's still possible to violate the license. I guess a "fat jar" distribution could be a trouble.

Thats what the classpath exception is for, no?

Buy several sizes, return the ones that don't fit.

This seems a bit nonsensical to me however I am reliably informed that this is the modern way.

And those workers don't want to do those jobs, for that $, anyway. A friend of mine with a farm in Quebec, Canada says even if you can find folks to do the work and pay them well, they often aren't reliable. Better all round to use temporary workers

Only a minority of people have an aptitude for work consisting of an 8-hour hard-focused physical workout every day.

In the same way that only a minority of people have an aptitude for work consisting of an 8-hour hard-focused (e.g.) mathematical workout every day.

The difference is that the former tends to come with a sub-cultural attitude of "people who can't/won't are Lazy", which is unfortunate and misguided, in the very same manner that a "people who can't/won't do maths all day are Stupid" view would be.

Only a few generations ago, an overwhelming majority of humans were farmers, having 8-hour hard-focused physical workout every day. Do you think we lost natural ability for it in such a short timespan?

Why do you think there was ever a natural ability for it? If that's the only option available, you suck it up and do the work.

But if you're unable to do it, you die of hunger anyway.

> Because if they aren't responsible for their choices, I am?

I think you're assuming for some reason that these folks are just having fun.

A solid majority of these people were abused as children, which at least from those I've met certainly wasn't their own choice.
