Crowdfunding Basics: Everything You Need to Know to Crowdfund Your Next Project
As an elementary OS contributor _and_ Fedora user, I guess this is my time to shine, hu?

It really depends on your use case. I've heard quite a bit positive feedback about elementary OS for "computer illiterate" (parents, old people, etc). It seems to "just work" for them after installation (bear with me I really can't judge about "ease of use" after years with Linux) and it's running on Ubuntu LTS versions. You're running apt-get to install security fixes, the current version of Firefox/Chrome and fixes provided by the elementary OS team, and that's basically it.

Fedora on the other hand is "the latest hot thing". It has by far the best GNOME3 integration and it previews technical features worked on by Red Hat and GNOME. It also features recent kernel versions which might be important for new-ish hardware. All that is quite awesome for technical-minded people like me. I'd like to say "it's unstable", but in my experience, it's not. I did not do the 22 -> 23 transition yet though. You have to do some additional work for the frequent new versions (backup everything in case it breaks, try the transition, etc). You also have to fiddle around with GNOME addons, font rendering and media codecs (RPMFusion as third-party provider) to make it usable as "personal computer" IMHO.

In the end it's up to you. I do believe your mom will be able to work with both (you'll need to tweak GNOME a bit IMHO, but that's up to discussion I guess), but you'll have to deal with different administrative workloads.

Heroin addiction is one of the most harmful documented drug-addictions. The need for heroin, physically and psychologically, is the driving force behind the social and personal damage attributed to heroin.

People do not get addicted to non-narcotic adulterants and become prostitutes. A cutting agent like caffeine or sugar is probably the safest ingredient...
Note 4 is a 5.7" screen. There's plenty of room for Samsung to ship a high capacity battery. The Blu Studio Energy is only a 5" but has 5000mAh. If reviewers started giving out bad reviews to anything that can't last a 24h day, other OEMs would fall in line.
You seem to assume that extreme inequality in society is to be fought against only if it leads to an overall degradation of material prosperity. That is nonsense. People always wanted more equality for the same reason they wanted democracy, no matter what the level of material prosperity in a country. People have a deep-seated need to be engaged and to have a say in the unfolding of their own destiny at the scale of society, to have meaningful lives. Indeed, the average person in the US, EU, Japan, Australia, etc. has food, clothes, transportation, health-care (perhaps not US), technology and so on that would make the kings of 100 years ago envious. But they also know that their influence on society through conventional democratic means has decreased dramatically in the last 50 years, as the super-wealthy amassed the material and political means to control the decision-making process. And guess what? Many people hate that. Many people will not be bribed into political submission by knick-knacks, amusement and delicious snacks. There is deep resentment brewing.

I find this disingenuous. I am an IBMer using an IBM provided Macbook, and the main reason the Mac is easier to use than IBM's PC (Lenovo, Toshiba) internal offerings is because IBM has made a genuine attempt at making it a good user experience, I assume 'because it's a Mac', and because of the ongoing 'IBM+Apple' alliance.

They've created a 'Mac@IBM app store' to install common programs like Notes, Flash Player, Java - this effort didn't exist for Windows (any IBMers reading this - ISSI is completely different).

Getting a license for something such as Microsoft Office is as simple as opening this Mac@IBM App Store and clicking download. On Windows you have to use a Lotus Notes form to request licenses, justify your business usage, wait for approval, then take your machine to the help desk.

They use the system internal networking configuration to handle networking. The Windows images use convoluted third party programs with non-intuitive interfaces.

They offer a simple, public facing URL (which I won't add here) which downloads a small .dmg which when run, downloads and unpacks everything you need to take a Mac fresh from Apple into a productive IBM machine, including VPN. The only way to reimage your IBM provided PC is to take it to the help desk.

Even the internal online help for OS X vs Windows is better - the OS X help site is neat, well laid out, and holds your hand through configuring everything. The Windows site is a mash of poorly tagged wiki pages and broken links.

There are definite issues. Sametime and Notes have the same problems they do on Windows. Sametime crashes silently. Notes - I still don't actually know how to close it without using Force Quit or the command line if I'm already there. The Mac@IBM store doesn't actually seem to be able to provide updates to software that it's installed - just throws an error. We are responsible for the security of our laptops at office locations and are provided Kensington locks for this, but Macbooks don't have a Kensington lock slot.

I could go on but I'm not trying to disparage IBM here, just point out the logic behind some of the commentary in the article.

You are not really explaining by which definition England was rule-of-law (and even invented the concept) but medieval Iceland was not. I chose medieval Iceland and republican Rome as examples because they are systems which doesn't have a king at all, which make the rule-of-law more obvious.

That's a fun read.

The LORAN systems were the ones that really put a grid (or rather sets of intersecting hyperbolas) on the world, because they were so long range, usable out to 1500 miles from the stations. The article is mostly about the European theater, but navigation was a much more difficult problem in the Pacific, where the distances over water were great and the islands were small and easily missed. LORAN was the first system that put an end to being totally lost.

The US airways system predated radio navigation. The first US airways used very bright rotating beacons every 30 miles or so, so flyers on the airway could fly from beacon to beacon. Remnants of that system live on as the white and green beacons rotating beacons seen at US airports today. The radio system was an upgrade to the beacon system.

Beam type systems remain, mostly as VORs, VHF Omnirange stations. They're usually at airports, and they cover several acres and require clear space around them, much to the annoyance of people who would like to develop the real estate. The most visible one in Silicon Valley is at Trimble Rd and US 101, next to SJC. The basic signal it sends can be visualized as a big flash followed by a rotating beam. The time between the two gives the bearing from the station. VORs also have Distance Measuring Equipment, so they can be interrogated and will reply, with the return time giving distance. This is still the primary way aircraft find airports. With VORs, the error decreases as you get closer, so the accuracy is very good as you are lining up for the runway.

The FAA wants to shut down about half the VORs in the US.[1] The ones at major airports will remain, but some intermediate locations will lose their VOR. This worries some people, because it leads to over-dependence on GPS.

My first PC was also from Gateway 2000. It was a i486DX2-66.

What I really learned to appreciate about my Gateway PC is that it didn't have a warranty seal. On the contrary, the introductory manual and the introductory multi-media application it shipped with was encouraging users to take a screwdriver and take a look inside. And so I did just that. And I enjoyed it very much. I miss those days.
"But so far, based on surveys and retrospectives, the scaling model seems to be working quite well!". Statements like that remind me of a North Korean election - "SUPREME LEADER ELECTED JOYOUSLY AND UNANIMOUSLY!". Grunts that don't like the newest management fad / reorg aren't looked upon kindly

A great test for "could I work at this company?" is to ask "do they have full time Agile Coaches / Scrum Masters / etc.". If yes, then I'm moving on
I gave up on fedora around 17 I think after it broke again for no obvious reason. (I'm not a expert sysadmin but I have been running Linux servers in production since 2009 and used Linux workstations on and off since 2003-ish.)

Happy to hear if anyone knows if stability has improved since then.
I hope it isn't. I like B & N book stores so much, I would consider paying a monthly fee just to browse, and hang out.

Every time I go there, I wonder how they keep the lights on.
I leave and look back thinking, "Will this be my last visit?"

I dont know what they can do in order to stay in business. I don't buy books there. I have a weird taste in books, and they just aren't at B & N. I mainly buy old books at used book stores. I do buy magazines there though, and food and coffee.

If by some miracle, I was made CEO. I would try a few things.

I would get rid of Starbucks. All the food and coffee would be in-house. I would basically copy what Starbucks does, but add more food items. I would also expand the eating area. I think Starbucks does a great job, but I'd rather all my money going to B & N. It probally wouldn't be feasible--I imagine Starbucks has some great leases, and agreements?

I would add more seating to the store. No sofas, but more wood seats, and benches.

I would have all security in plain clothes.

They would all be open until 11 p.m., except Sunday.

Their employees are great. I would leave them alone.

I would add a used, and rare book room to each store.

I know I'm rambling, about a business, I know nothing about. I just don't want them to close.
> someone buys it out, and sub-contracts it out a step down the ladder.

Yap pretty much. This happens with big and small stuff right here on US soil. There are bid requests that fit only one product, so there is just simply no way anything else would be picked. Product is not named by name, but if you look at list of features it describes it in a unique way. Or there are special handouts to small companies headed by vetereans or women, so people would put their Vietnam era uncle as CEO on paper so the company can get a special contract and so on.

It would be, until management sees the way that they're categorized and start faking votes / reviews. Then it would be an arms race on who can be the most Agile. Scrum -> Agile -> Agiler -> SUPER KANAGILEBAN MEGA!!!
Exactly - the work they're doing might be technically complex, but from the point of view of most of the rest of the economy, they may as well be chasing tumbleweeds.
> 2/3 of all energy is used for heating and transport, and electricity can't be used for that

Well, here in the Netherlands, the majority of the trains will soon (2018) be powered by 100% wind energy. 50% since this year.

So it's categorically (and I would think obviously) incorrect to say "you can't use electricity for transport".

http://www.ns.nl/over-ns/campagnes/maatschappelijk-betrokken...

Heating is another question entirely. You have more of a point there -- it's hard to find an alternative to natural gas for heating.
Is anyone really criticizing the movie for this? Did anyone really expect these minor details to be realistic and accurate?

I don't think anyone is upset over this. It's just a fun exercise.
What's wrong with non-renewable? That simply means it won't last forever. Is it really important that whatever energy generation we use can be repeatedly maintained and operated forever? I don't see any problem in making the most of the Earth's uranium resources while it's cheap enough. In the worst case, we'll just have to stop doing that later rather than sooner.

"extremely conservative"?

I would have to challenge that. Certainly on a global scale (versus US, UK, EU etc), the current government is not that extreme.
I meant the usage of chimneys, but yes, I could imagine how these claims can be extended to that too.

Now * How do you expect a group of people unable to afford a stove to afford retrofitting their home with a chimney? *

I am from nation with very poor and repressed background, but we managed to do that.

For building a functioning oven with a chimney you do not need a lot of fancy material - just bricks, mortar (or can be even made from clay rich earth) and a iron plate.

Of course these gadgets are expensive and stupid and this was my original criticism.

* Your chimney solution solves none of these problems. *

We do not know that as it was not even considered as it seems to me from the article. Instead they tried to sell complicated industrial products.
Just quoting wikipedia on this one, but:

Cocaine addiction occurs through accumbal ΔFosB overexpression, which arises through transcriptional regulation and epigenetic remodeling of the nucleus accumbens.

It is definitely physically addictive, and alters brain chemistry through long term use. It also causes accelerated heart rate.

I had exactly the same. With MMX!
Most card details are stored by payment processors, not your own server or a third party shop provider's servers. Paypal and Stripe and various others are probably more trustworthy than anything that stores the details with the shop itself.

But that doesn't really apply to a lot of things. Comments for example, do you really trust a third party more with those? Because if your site is in a grey area, then it's very possible their terms/country/whatever might require them to ban discussion of the topic. Self hosted means your rules, not a large corporation's.

Besides, any middleman is the weakest part of the chain if someone wanted to shut down a site or significantly cripple it without going through a court case. You may like controversy, but a large company would rather see the back of anyone that might potentially hurt its public image. We already see issues where internet mobs go after hosting companies and providers based on something someone said on Twitter. Every third party service is yet another potential target for them, and one that could buckle even more easily than the hosting company (especially if you're not paying for their services).

This is the most consistent explanation I've heard yet, but it doesn't seem to square with BTTF I's strong suggestion that Marty is traveling within the same universe.

On topic of docker and multi-container, multi-machine orchestration... Is there a comprehensive "docker deployment for dummies" guide out there? For example, let's say I have couple web applications with their dockerfiles ready, a database and a redis instance on software side, and then couple server instances for it all to run on. Where do I go from there? What's the best process to package everything up and get it to run on those servers? Deliver updates to those applications, preferably in zero-downtime manner? I have a vague notion that my CI should be building the images, and pushing them to something called docker registry. But how are those secured? Is that a paid service? And what happens then, how do servers know to fetch and run the new version?
I'm sure they thought about it, then realized that shipping from the fulfillment center to the bookstore wouldn't be all that cheaper than just doing home delivery.

They'd have to either use drones, or do constant runs from fulfillment centers to bookstores to make it significantly faster than the same-day / second-day delivery you already get with prime.
You might find it interesting that toughness and "won't shatter when dropped" are different things.

Toughness(G) = slowly absorb energy without fracture.

Shattering is more dependable of:

Fracture toughness(Kc) = (E*G)^0,5

Where E = modulus. That explains why plastics with low E shatter easily while being tough. Metals have additional hardening methods that allow them to go beyond this rule.

PS. Your knowledge on the subject is already what I'd wish laymen had. So I really don't mean any offense.
This is about under-reporting CO2 emissions on paper, which they happened to find while investigating the NOx scandal. It's not related to the engine software. The consequences of this should be purely financial—they will have to pay back tax incentives.
