Seems like the persistence for automatic VoIP authentication confirmation is currently disabled. Meaning you need to confirm our again each time. But have they confirmed this is in the release, not just in a development branch?
Google did say that, when they first went public. The markets ignored it (and it seems they were right to; Google may not technically have paid a dividend but they reverse-span-out Alphabet which has, which is economically the same thing).
The big companies are less creative when it comes to the transmission of data. The FCC is not new either, it had to happen sooner or later.. what we need is dirt cheap data eliminating the need of hosted networks altogether!! eg, data that travels through solids, liquids and gases, turning the very table on which the computer is kept into a network hub..
>What you call "envy" has a very good (evolutionary) reason for its existence

An evolutionary reason isn't _necessarily_ a good reason, unless the definition of good is "helping propagate one's genes". Evolution doesn't select for "living a happy/contented life".
James Fallows of The Atlantic wrote a lot about Japan in the 1990s, and he had this great observation.

In Japan you drive to the station and sit in the car while several people fill your tank, wash your windows, and do other busywork. It seems like a huge waste and makes gas cost more.

Endless Sky: Open-Source Escape Velocity Successor
One point I rarely see raised in these stories about "eco-apocalypse" is that fire is a part of nature. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that clearcutting jungle or intentionally setting fires is a good thing; but if the forest is dry enough that it'll burn for days once lit, it will also do that if there's a lightning strike.

Here in Australia, fire is such a part of the cycle of life that the local ecosystem has entirely adapted to it: for example, there's a tree (the stringybark) which exudes a flammable oil and drops its bark in wonderfully flammable strips into piles on the ground. This ensures that, when the next bushfire comes roaring along, it rips through at lightning speed, leaving the core of the tree alive to regrow and eliminating the weaker competition. It's just a bit of a shame if your house happens to be in the way... and what's happening in Indonesia and Singapore right now is basically an intensified, human-supercharged version of the same phenomenon.

And FWIW, I lived in Singapore for 8 years and endured some of that haze myself. It still can't hold the proverbial candle to the level of entirely man-made air pollution in China and, worst of all, northern India.
Code Club and the Raspberry Pi Foundation Join Forces
In the last few months, I've used 30-bit color on Gentoo in the context of microscopy and data visualization.

Enabling it with a modern NVidia card is dead easy. Basically, in xorg.conf, replace occurrences of 24 with 30. However, not much makes use of the extra colors. Although Qt5 will correctly output 24-bit color in 30-bit mode, Krita is the only Linux application of any kind I found that can actually display additional colors. It's easy to test - show a full screen gradient.

No OpenGL compositors (eg kwin, compiz) support 30-bit color to any extent. Total fail, here. Tearing like it's 1998.

Notably, with Qt5, it does work to make 10-10-10-2 and 10-10-10-0 GL contexts and render to them with your own old-school GL calls, nv_path_drawing, and compat & core profile shaders. However, you do have to manage the GL context yourself - QOpenGLWidget has no 10-bit suppport. You can still use Qt's GL abstractions, just not QOpenGLWidget. Easiest approach is to use QWindow in a widget container (created with that QWidget.createContainersomethingorother static member function), as was commonly done with Qt 5.3 (ie, before QOpenGLWidget).
The chart at the bottom seems misleading.

> However, Steam Refunds may help with this and may make gamers more willing to buy at higher prices.

Don't trust that you can get a refund on steam. Their policy is you get one refund, and that's it. I have a steam account with hundreds of titles, bought over many years. The amount of money I've spent with them is in the low thousands of dollars. I've once requested a refund, because I disagreed with particularly onerous terms in the ToS for a game (shown after the purchase, during the install). They refunded me, but made it very clear that this was a one-time thing and I would never again be able to have a product refunded, as per their policy.

It kinda put me off them TBH. I mean, of course you have to protect against people gaming the system, but this was clearly not the case here.

You can run your own server, but there's no federation.

The reason for that I imagine is that they want a privacy preserving automatic lookup method (a single server can confirm phone numbers and allow privacy preserving contact list comparisons for its own clients), and aren't convinced of using a model where the public key is the identifier instead of your phone number.
For years, I've believed that Blackberry missed the boat on mobile operating systems. They should have long since developed a really good Android handset leveraging their great keyboard and security expertise. It might have done well. Too bad for them that they only recognized this recently.

We stopped doing a lot of stuff because we now understand more about the consequences. And this is not only a disaster for nature but also for humans meaning it's everyone's concern. Just embargo (or threaten; maybe it's enough) the buying of the oil (and anything else) until they want to listen to reason. Like many said already; it's not more costly to do this in an ecologically friendly way as they are killing their people, forests, wildlife and shortening the lives of people living in countries around them.
Everything causes environmental destruction. The problem with the will to hurt shareholders is that the alternatives - companies that get more business after international corporations have been hurt by a boycott - are worse.

Don't be fooled into thinking that Starbucks, Pepsi, Nestle and Monsanto are the ethically worst companies in world. Personally, I buy Nestle and Monsanto whenever in doubt, just because so much of the activism is misguided.

Huge-scale environmental damage was caused by state-controlled companies extracting natural resources in the USSR, for instance, but it could be that things like small-scale organic farming or little coal-burning cooking stoves in Africa are even worse (in terms of comparing environmental damage to utility for mankind.)
You're correct (that's why on second thought I put "evolutionary" in parens), but I also argue that ability to deny bad offers (or revolt or whatever are the various forms this takes) is a good trait for people to have. Otherwise you are getting uncomfortably close to a Brave New World of always obedient individuals.
Or poor quality...

I wonder how they define poor quality.

The article isn't terribly surprising, I think the issue here is not so much the fact that goods are bad quality, it is when they are marketed as something of high quality. For example, I wanted this years Man Utd kit, but found £45 for a shirt I will wear every other Wednesday a bit rich for my tastes.

I actively searched for fake shirts the other day and found no results - only clear fakes marketed as the real thing. If it was clearly stated it wasn't official produce, then fine - I know what I'm getting myself in for - the maliciousness comes from the lie of pretending to be something it isn't, and charging a similar amount for it.

It's not a useful distinction since many kinds of games use player UX "cheats" like slight warping to physics algorithms, RNG weighting, etc. Most of these features act to take emphasis off of precise, low-level execution, or the pain of a string of unlucky results, in favor of higher-level strategy concerns, fast decision making, and expected values over time. There is an occasional chorus of "simulation purism" from some folks, but really, simulation elements are bulldozed in games constantly and consciously. The actual results are subtle and people don't take much notice when rules are bent, they just experience "fluid control" or "fair outcomes."

Auto-aim is only well-known because it's visually obvious when it occurs - the gun did not point in the direction of the camera.

Also maybe sometimes is that you are worried about your own problems.

Example: I am from Brazil, since about a year ago I stopped paying much attention to international news, because we have enough trouble here (severe drought, countrywide power supply problems, 10% inflation, -2% GDP growth, unemployment, Olympics preparation is sucking, World Cup, the one that already happened, is still with buildings under construction and creating problems, massive corruption found, parts of the military seemly preparing a right-wing coup, while other parts are seemly preparing a left-wing coup, and the list of problems goes on for a looong time. Also our president has 7% approval rating, probably is one of the most hated politicians in the world right now).

I see people here in Spain do this too.

I suppose the thinking is that there are people who clean the streets every night, so why not just discard whatever wherever you want! So much for being responsible about yourself and your actions.

And while some do argue the 'keeping people in a job' line, others don't even realise the harm in what they are doing and at the same time don't even try and rationalize it.
All the CLAs I've seen so far give the project the right to license the code under a proprietary license, as long as it (and derivates of it) remains available under a free license as defined in the CLA.

I would also have concerns signing a CLA that doesn't ensure the code will stay available under a free license, but I don't think that's a very common case.

As an Indonesian, I'll give some context and nuance around the burning.

1. Who did the burning? mostly It is CORPORATIONs that owned massive chunks of lands (which some of the case these lands overlap with National Park territories).
The rest is small land owners (which also cover big areas if you sum it). These companies though have a strong lobby in the government across layers, whether it is in the national level or province level.
FYI, many of the companies are foreign ones including Singapore companies and Malaysian companies.

2. Why did the government not make it illegal to burn land?
There are several factors. Actually the amount of land that CAN BE burnt is limited. However the government do not strictly enforce it, because you know, it's Indonesian government.
So a step back, how come the government allow people to burn land in the first place? There is an old local bill (in Borneo area) that protect land owner to burn land. This date back
to an old tradition that in Borneo, in order to farm you gotta burn the land first because of the nature of the peat land itself. I agree that in 2015, there should be a solution in
making a farmland productive without even to burn it. This bill is not yet overruled and even so, being abused by corps to justified the act.

3. Another reason why there is almost no response from the Indonesian government is that the burning happened only in Sumatra and Borneo to the (North)West side (Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand).
For better or worse, Java island doesn't get the haze at all, thus many politicians can't relate how bad it is actually.

What is sad is that it is the epitome of capitalism, that we can't do much about it. Palm oil is used everywhere and as long as there is a demand, supply will be there too.
>but I also argue that ability to deny bad offers (or revolt or whatever are the various forms this takes) is a good trait for people to have

This trait is only a subset of what's normally considered "envy". Not all of envy has an apparent use like that. E.g. if Joe feels bad because Neighbour Bob's house is 1030 square feet while Joe's house is only 1020 square feet, this doesn't really help anything, it just makes Joe unnecessarily miserable.

I run it on a small dedicated server (kimsufi) in tmux. But instead of sshing into that, I connect to it with Glowing Bear which feels much nicer to me.

It's very convenient to have IRC on the go, with synced read marker states and a pleasant interface.
That means nothing. What is important is what are traditional everyday dishes and how they cook them. Hint: everything that was brought 0-day fresh in the morning has been sold/eaten till night. The cooking is also quite simple - no overheating, mostly boiled (different kinds of curries, to get maximum value for a money spent).

Perhaps, before conducting studies one has to understand cooking. That overheated fat is not the same as slowly boiled fat, that pure butter has nothing in common with margarine, and no one knows what kind of shit corporations and fastfood joints are using to save costs while processing junk food.

Tribal/traditional foods tells you what is good and what is bad (and most economically efficient for given location) without any crappy studies.

There is also Chinese/Thai tradition in cooking of not overboiling foods, which, it seems, has a substantial impact on health in the long run.

And to hire a professional cook in the research team is a good idea.)
