"how's the install experience these days ?"

I have no idea, I installed my current Arch 3 or 4 years ago and kept it updated since then. I do not remember it being difficult at the time.

"is there something cool that you get from Arch ?"

Everything is up to date, I love the package manager and the AUR (the user contributed "packages" in the form of instructions to build a package) w/ devel packages (ie you can easily install git versions of some software.) I use yaourt as a front-end. I use it to manage configuration files (and manually merge upstream config files with my locally modified files.)

The distro feels lightweight (I'm not using any DE, only Xmonad, so that may help), and there's not too much "magic", in the sense that you can easily find everything in config files. It kinda feels like a BSD system in that regard.

I'm learning Haskell and lots of up to date packages are available in Arch, I would not be surprised if Arch is one of the most popular distros among Haskell devs.

The Arch wiki has every bit of information you need for the initial setup, then reading Arch's website main page before a "big" update should be enough (they post instructions for important migrations there, when the upgrade could require some manual intervention.)
"Under the ongoing review of all processes and workflows in connection with diesel engines it was established that the CO2 levels and thus the fuel consumption figures for some models were set too low during the CO2 certification process. The majority of the vehicles concerned have diesel engines."

So the official fuel consumption numbers were reported too low, possibly as a result of the dyno cheating mode.
>One could argue—and not with pride, but deep unease—that global dominance was, if not the only, then an essential ingredient to reducing domestic inequality.

History keeps repeating itself. Usually any civil rights have come with the expense of either fighting in the military or funding the military. I just wondered how suspiciously easy it was for women to gain their rights, but total war seen in world wars explains it nicely.

Organizations only change when they have to. With fall of soviet union, stagnation of American civil rights progress seems inevitable. Rise of China could be a good thing for Civil rights. But in the post-Vietnam high tech weapons age, it's likely to be "how can we motivate people to pay more taxes" than the seemingly more equal "how can we motivate every man to fire a rifle".

Any suggestions?
The global average sea level is only estimated to have risen about 20 cm (8 inches) since 1880, so it wouldn't really be noticeable in a photograph, especially on steep coasts like Norway's. Whether the photograph was taken at high vs. low tide would make a bigger difference in most cases.
Docker more and more gets into a direction which i don't like.

EDIT the missing content..:
I mean currently it mostly is for the big users. There aren't too much things for "small" users. The big things like kubernetes, etc are really hard to configure / maintain, etc.
I mean it's easier to maintain ansible / puppet / chef / etc... - scripts than maintaining a real "docker" environment. even looking at deis, flynn, openshift its not just run "this, upgrade with this".

after you setup the hole thing you need to create huge buildpack scripts or Dockerfiles or kubernetes configs or whatever.
you just needed process isolation, now you build a infrastructure on top of a infrastructure.

How does revocation happens? What happens if I remove a user from the team?
I also have an iPhone 4S. I wondered the same thing. It's really annoying. My guess is that the memory requirements have increased a lot. It kind of still feels fast after a fresh boot. But after a few hours, it feels really slow. Some bigger applications fail at the first run, maybe because too less memory. Some will crash when I open an embedded Safari page. Also, when switching apps, in almost all cases, it has to restart the app.

Also, the battery duration has become worse. But that might also just be its age - although not sure.

Now, just because of that, I'm thinking about buying a new phone.

I wonder, is this similar for Android phones? When I buy a high-end Android phone now, can I expect it to still run fast in 3-5 years or so the future current version of Android?
I can find my friend and give him $5. There "needs" to be a fee attached to this?
Jetcoin First Blockchain Application as Sponsorship Payment for Football Club
The problem is in the phrasing, and you're actually not improving on it. The way you explain the problem, it would still be 50/50. What changes the situation is that the show host CANNOT open the door with the car in it. The way you phrase it, it's not clear that the show host has any information that the participant doesn't have, but he does.
Stunning photos! Number 11 is particularly striking because it captures global warming in action!
problem is not filling the forms, 90% of the tax forms are submitted on the last week. Often the tax site will crash causing panic. Clear tax is storing and does retries which is the reason why many are using it
I'm sorry for the pain! I wrestled with the margins a good while before settling for the current layout, but I can see your point. I use the template with a custom letterhead I made in InDesign, so having lots of whitespace to spare was imperative for me.

On the bright side, you can easily customize the margins through the geometry option and enlarge the font size to 11 or 12pt to make it look less empty.
A lot of these errors are more in the confusing phrasing or unstated assumptions.

In Monty Hall the ambiguity is around whether the host is randomly opening doors or not.

With the doctor example, they'd normally only face that question when they've ordered a test for someone, so the probability is much higher.

The other classic 'unintuitive' result is the prisoners dilemma, because people have emotional bonds to colleagues and if the break them those emotions can lead to revenge and retribution. These have to be ignored in the classic formulation, but recast it as a drug deal or spy exchange and it makes more sense to people.
Type safety, this is why its good having it. They could have verified the XML with a strict schema, but it was obviously not worth the effort to bother with an API where million dollar contracts are processed.

I object to this sort of phrasing when describing someone being hired. People aren't property, you can't "steal" a person (you can kidnap them sure). They made him a better offer than the one Google had for him, and he took it willingly. He wasn't stuffed in the back of a van at 3am by a crack team hired by Tesla. There was no theft.
I tend to avoid people who comes up with simple solutions based on their ideology. Folks who are honest about not having a simple solution makes a much more intelligent impression on me.

Does this comment make me a hypocrite?
Does it still require sending a sight hard copy via postal mail ? In the government site I don't need to, starting from this year.

BTW pretty much every other 3rd part sites takes "less than 5 minutes", not sure whats special about this.
That may become the fastest journey across the Gartner trough of disillusionment that I have seen. So it answers Fred Wilsons's question at http://avc.com/2014/09/the-bitcoin-hype-cycle/
I keep biting my finger off, trading bitcoins seems so nice but to enter you need to give RID access to shady merchant, which is a bummer.

Anyone know an exchange where btc can be bought simply with paypal?
Global sea level has risen less than a foot in the past 100 years. Although in environments like this, I would assume isostatic rebound (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-glacial_rebound) would play a large role in apparent local sea level changes.
Essentially integrating Wolfram Alpha and IBM Watson into Google?
Hmm, time o check the googlentrends "bitcoin" chart vs the bitcoin price chart again. They had a 1to1 correlation last time I looked.

EDIT: Just went back to look and peek Google Trends interest in Bitcoin happens prior to peek Bitcoin price so public interest leads Bitcoin price as I suggest. Trends crash before the price does.
Yep, that's just how Hoefler Text works. I don't see that as a problem, but if you do, changing the font to a more modern-looking one is very easy.
Yes, agreed. I found more images that capture the changing climate in action: http://climate.nasa.gov/state_of_flux#Qori-Kalis-930px-80-v2...

I wouldn't call it comprehensive but I did this:

"For more intrusive surveillance - involving the detailed content of the communications - security services need to obtain a warrant."

The way this is worded makes me wonder if the 'detailed content' will be harvested with everything else and then retroactively looked at with a warrant.
Indeed. A method of making glass via a containerless processing system that I am aware of, is aerodynamic levitation, wherein a ball of starting material is suspended in a stream of gas, such as Ar, and heated by lasers. This method is used in systems that tend to crystallise rapidly rather than quench to a nice glass, since the thermal mass of the sample is very small and you can take all the heat away instantly by tunring off the laser. Samples prepared by such a method are typically 100s to 1000s of microns in diameter. I would be very interested to hear how they would scale this method to industrial production, if aerodynamic levitation is how they made their glass.
It is however less likely to be due to exchange manipulations this time because the exchanges are more diversified.
> Heating is another question entirely.

It's actually a comparatively easy problem to solve. Have a large boiler, heat that with electricity while you have an abundance of energy and keep it moderately well insulated. Drawing the heat off that is simple.

Storing electricity for usage as electricity is the primary problem.
take a look at Ractive.js . It is minimal, you can write custom js code as you like for getting data from the server and you don't need to spend weeks learning it.
As an individual taxpayer, I would not pay to use ClearTax.
I have filed returns both on the Indian Government website and ClearTax. I do not see an added advantage with ClearTax, they show the same bunch of fields and as a last step, submit the data to the government website (I am not sure if the Government website crashes, how this will help ClearTax). I assume the only advantage is they can read your Name, addresses and gross salary data from the two page PDF you upload, not a big deal IMO.
As someone who has freelanced a bit, I would still not purchase their INR 5000+ plans. I have had CAs do it for 2500 or less. I assume the site is popular among first-timers or people who have not really tried the Income Tax website recently.
So, either a vote passes unanimously or it doesn't pass at all? In all cases (of the scenarios you're describing). That doesn't make a lot of sense to me, even as terminology specific to corporate governance. The word 'unanimous' is completely superfluous in that context, and words are not usually defined in ways where they have superfluous meanings.
I've started vastly prefereing eOS for my family members not because of technology, but because the bundled eOS applications have greatly stripped down functionality and UI - I've noticed that the dock with essential apps coupled with simple interface of "Files" makes people more comfortable.

No, it's not required.

That takes me back. I learnt Unix, networking, and software development setting up ever more complex (and in retrospect unnecessary) services for the family home network. At one point I was even selling web hosting to a few people off our home connection.

That experience is led to me being where I am now, and I'm eternely grateful to my parents for supporting me in doing a bunch of stuff they really had no idea about.
All aboard the speculation train!
What does RID mean?

The China factor behind this "surge" is because this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MMM_(Ponzi_scheme_company) started doing business in China. It's growing very huge.
Nope since paypal is chargeback-able. You can try localbitcoins if you don't want to give out your info.

Good question! My invoices are always just one page long so I didn't consider the cases you mention. I'll remember your comment going forward.
Yes, they are going to carry on doing exactly that. Who knows whether they will bother with the warrants even. It never stopped them before.

docker-compose and tmux and runit works.
Says the man typing on the internet. The amount of tech produced because it initially had military applications is staggering. Medical advances and next gen power are both things of massive utility to the military and they plough large amounts of money into research for it.

They aren't "useful as a side effect" they are useful because no-one else is willing to spend the amount of money the military is. No-one else spends hundreds of thousands of dollars on equipping high school drop out employees.
The Irish Navy is tiny, and there are countless inlets and bays which a smuggler could use. One popular drug smuggling route is Colombia -> up the coast of West Africa -> Ireland, and then onwards to the UK market.

There was a famous incident a few years back where a relatively small boat deployed from a 'mothership'; sank in high seas (heh), dumping its cargo of hundreds of millions of cocaine into the water. Locals were finding bales of coke worth €1.75m each on the beaches in the area.

If you look at what has been intercepted, and what must get through to the end market, then billions of Euros worth of the drug must be smuggled through Ireland/Irish waters.

You're the kind of person who upon seeing a gun shot victim and as the coroner says, " He was killed by a bullet entering the body and piercing the heart" would shout out "Correlation does not imply causation" reflexively.

Do you really not think the general population's interest in bitcoin has any effect on the price?
Scott makes a lot of good points, but frames them in a very Less Wrong kind of way, when the key to development or growth is always being able to think more clearly.

You could pick any number of other developmental milestones in other categories, for children, teenagers, or adults.

In the ethical bucket, children begin to recognize of abstract rules as system of dispute resolution ('he should go first because he got there first'), develop a concept of fairness, etc

In the social / emotional bucket, adolescents begin desiring independence and feel peer pressure much more acutely.

Is there any reason to believe that theory-of-mind-relevant developmental psychology is more important than the other parts?
My job is to stare at an iPhone 7 and come-up with new ideas for iPhone 8. Then, I will have to come-up with new ideas for iPhone 9.

During the first ten years of development, it was easy to improve it. Now, I have no idea how to improve it. Some days, I get inspired.
The BBC is being a good state mouthpiece today - the fact that they're quoting May as saying it doesn't hold previously contentious matters (I.e. Breaking encryption) is disingenuous to say the least. The bill will say that "unbreakable" encryption is illegal - which means all encryption, as if it's breakable, well, it's not really encrypted, is it.

Never mind that this is totally unenforceable. I could write up a one time pad with pen and paper. Most won't. Crooked cops will sell data. They'll blame "hackers".

You only need look at the talktalk debacle to see how incredibly warped this govt's views are - they haven't arrested anyone at talktalk, who are tge ones who had such poor infosec that script kiddies could blow them wide open. Instead they're arresting children.

Oh, and I'm seriouslt considering redomiciling my company - we only contribute a few hundred million quid to the UK economy.

To be honest, the Indian government's e-filing site is good enough for a vast majority of tax payers. The interface is simple and fast. If you have a digital signature there is no need to mail any hard copies of any documents.

Meanwhile, ClearTax is really helpful if your returns are complicated. You have 3 houses, own stocks and a business etc. If you sign up for their gold package, a dedicated CA will assist you in all your returns and is available throughout the year over phone or email.
It's much worse than that. They want to ban companies from offering encryption that they can't also decrypt.

Also, in regards to data retention - I thought the CJEU made it clear that it's against the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. Is UK seriously pretending that never happened? It seems their strategy is "we'll just use this new law for 2 years until it gets invalidated, and then we pass a new one that we can use for another 2 years". And so on and so forth.

U.S. companies, please stop establishing headquarters in the U.K. It's on an authoritarian path as much as Russia and Turkey is (certainly under David Cameron/Conservatives, at least).
The problem with pre-populated online forms is that if there are issues with the data that the tax authority receives from third parties, proving it wrong is difficult, and the burden of proof shifts to the taxpayer.

A few years ago, I resigned my job and I transferred my pension to what's called a Preservation Fund. In South Africa, you can get your pension paid out when you leave a job. Getting a pension paid out incurs tax, while transferring to a preservation fund is tax free.

However, the company that administered the pension fund screwed up, and issued a tax certificate that treated the pension transfer as a taxable payout, and submitted it to the South African Revenue Service (SARS). The pension administrators proved to be incompetent, and were incapable of fixing the issue.

After months of battling, I managed to get the issue sorted out, and I got a refund from the taxman, rather than the hefty payment that was initially assessed. Other colleagues who also left had less energy than me simply paid the tax caused by the pension company's administrative error. I'm sure there were hundreds of people around the country affected by the error, and most must have rolled over and paid.

I've read that one of the objections to having a pre-populated system in the US is that people are less likely to object if the forms are pre-filled. My experience would seem to confirm that view.
Very unlikely the cause considering the amount of hits their website is getting.
Same for me. The only comfortable earbuds that don't fall off when walking around are Sennheiser. The pair of CX300 I had were the best, though they had a short lifespan (< 1 year) due to the plastic cable.
1 and 2 were a gotcha for me for many years...
You focused on the least important part of what I wrote then resort to ad hominem attacks. There is no sensible conversation to be had here.
>We have an embarrassing wealth of food, technology, and luxury

But we still have a significant portion of the population that has to work 2+ jobs to survive. America is the only developed nation in the world to my knowledge where this is expected, let alone imagined (hell, in France it's illegal to have two jobs).

Americans (myself included) should be ashamed at how much of an abject failure we've been to so much of the population. Say what you will about Western Europe, but pretty much everyone will get 3 meals a day there.
What about situations where a simple solution would be the most effective and appropriate?

Would you be averse to it just because it is simple?

This typo is most fitting.
The BBC has been a mouthpiece for both the UK and the US government for quite a few years. That's why I've always disliked seeing their articles here, and I'd prefer another source like TheGuardian instead.

Their previous one about UK gov "backtracking" on encryption backdoors was just as bad.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-34691956

Read through it and see how 80% of it is the government's opinion about these things. It barely gives mention to what the civil liberty groups are saying.

Read the last four paragraphs of the article, for instance. They only deal with how much of a headache end to end encryption is for authorities - and leaves it at that. What about what the civil liberty groups say about how it protects security and privacy?

Mine was this use case, had stocks, had rented house, had some income from interest. While it took something like 45 minutes to file but they some how helped me save me rs. 4000 in their calculation and I had to pay nothing and that was cool.

>CO2 is specifically regulated in Europe, separately from fuel consumption

It's a joke. They should have increased fuel taxes. But that was too unpopular, so we have mess of regulations. As a result you either want to have new car with very small engine, or very old car with big engine. No matter how much emissions you actually make.
Certainly. There's an excellent opportunity there if someone is willing to execute. Would you (the community) pay for a product? Or support an open source project through consultancy? Or are we going to sit and wait for a large engineering organisation to build it internally and open source?
