ReactOS is a cool idea. Use WINE to create a Windows compatible FOSS Operating System. They aim for XP/2003 compatibility so it doesn't run a lot of newer stuff. But it is good for legacy Windows apps. With the 0.4.0 release they added more driver support, Wifi support, Audio support, etc. They need more people to work on it, and I hope that Google funds them some money as well to pay people.

So far it is in the alpha stage and needs to go to beta stage soon. It only has a 48M overhead and loads faster than the real Windows. It has EXT file system support as well as FAT support but NTFS is read only.

Someone can make a ReactOS bundle with PHP, MySQL, Apache2 so it can be used as a web server. If someone ports CLRNET or the Dotnet open source programs over to it, it can run ASP.Net stuff as well.
Yes, but most users don't take responsibility for the extensions they install quite that way.

The problem comes if you install a browser extension (or acquire malware that installs a browser extension for you), forget about it, and then blame the website when the website stops working, often filing bug reports (increasing the support load of the website).
Wouldn't the same argument apply to any time congress delegates authority? I.E. They allow some agency to decree certain things with the force of a law. Whatever that agency decides within the bounds of the constitution is law, even if congress debated that point and didn't expressly permit it.
The same goes for Chicago, where busses are longer, but articulated in the middle for maneuverability. They drive just like the taxi drivers there, and that isn't a compliment.
>forcing them to sign non-Apple software as if it was their own is compelled speech.

That may be. However, simply forcing them to hand over the key wouldn't imho.
I'm not sure, but maybe there were multiple keys, each of which took 2560 characters? The quote does say "keys".
Depends on the type of key you have. If it is a PRO(i am assuming that's the version of OS)/non-OEM license, then you shouldn't have a problem. Definitely worth a short though.
Google mentions focusing on city driving instead of highway driving in their annual disengagement report [1]:

> Mastering autonomous driving on city streets -- rather than freeways, interstates or highways -- requires us to navigate complex road environments [...]. This differs from the driving undertaken by an average American driver who will spend a larger proportion of their driving miles on less complex roads such as freeways. Not surprisingly, 89 percent of our reportable disengagements have occurred in this complex street environment (see Table 6 below).

SAC had probably my favorite portrayl of a chatroom on the net.
It's just an ellipsis. Or, as my first Google hit said:

"the omission from speech or writing of a word or words that are superfluous or able to be understood from contextual clues."

So: I would rather [have] a bus any day.
This is super dismissive of the actual legal arguments, and basically preaching to the choir.

The gov'ts interpretation is that "If the court issues a search warrant, we can coerce third parties into cooperation." A specific usage of the AWA, which basically says "The courts can coerce people to do things to enforce rulings".

This leads to relatively non-controversial things like asking apartment landlords to open doors to the house.

The controversy here from a legal standpoint is that what's being asked of Apple is too burdensome. I don't really know the constitutional argument against burden (probably the 10th, limiting the power of federal government), but there seems to be some.
I previously worked for a large Bank and they had authenticated email using Lotus Notes. While i would not recommend using that, it was nice to see them taking this serious. It was required to use it for every internal communication and actually made it seriously easy to use without knowing much about how it really works.

Its much easier to teach people to access their emails using a particullar application then it is to make them aware for phising attacks which sometimes can be very sophisticated.

While this does not work if you have to receive emails from unknowns, it is a no brainer to use something like this at a comapny level for all online communication. In my opinion not doing so is really careless behaviour especially for a tech company...
I think the technicality in the current case will hinge on the definition of "necessary" and "appropriate" if this Judge's opinion of that drug case is correct. Both from the AWA and then CALEA Id. § 1002(b)(2). "...and the carrier possesses the information necessary to decrypt the communication." To my understanding the way in which the government wants Apple to hinder the security on the iphone is not by breaking the decryption, but by eliminating the limit on entering the code, so that they can then brute force it. This in my opinion falls outside of the strictest sense interpretation of the second statute's definition of necessary. Therefore it also falls outside of the "appropriate" in the AWA. I feel that an issue this large falling under a distinction so small is a bit scary.

It is hard to find work, I've applied to technical writing jobs only to not hear back from them. Jobs that usually pay $100 per article you write for them on a blog.

I've tried self-publishing books, but they don't sell. I can't afford to market them. If you build up a lot of social network followers you can promote your books and blog links to them.

I had websites but they are down now because I couldn't afford to keep them up. It is really hard to get noticed and your writing and grammar has to be near perfect.

I am writing a book on technology trends, but as soon as I write a chapter it is obsolete. For example I was writing about Windows 8.1, Mac OSX 10.9 and others and new versions came out and changed how they worked. I was writing about the operating system wars between commercial companies and FOSS projects. It changes so fast that what I write is obsolete before I can get it ready to publish.
I agree with your initial appraisal to some extent. However, forking bitcoin/ethereum or modifying some other coin for a hacketspace would likely be a learning excercise so the tech/coin used should be related to their interests. Hackerspaces are as much about learning as creating and given the usecase and context learning would be a focus likely more than the actual token usage.

> ethereum is not a technology

By definition is a technology a case could be made whether it is a protocol or simply an extension of an existing one. I understand what you are saying here, and once again to some extent, I agree.

However what does "easier" mean. Obviously they used blockchain technology so by definition, blockchain can do anything ethereum can do and it is likely bitcoin can or will be able to as well.

Ethereum is the first company to provide a widespread platform that is secure, easy to use, well documented and designed to build distributed apps and smart contracts. If we assume it works the way it is intended, it is important technology.

Bitcoin is the first implementation and to my knowledge, the designer itself worked on it personally. It also has a cap of coins produced.

I am not looking at the numbers, but commerce on the internet is near 10% in america and i think 4% now.

Just haphazard napkin calculations would mean that if the world accepted bitcoin at a similar rate it would be too concentrated, valuable and need too much mining to work.

Amzn did the first sale in 94.

There is ~5-6 trillion in the world.

Sonewhere between 5-10 percent of all transactions are online.

If we assume adoption to occor similar to this, that would mean 5-10 percent of the economy becomes bitcoin. I think a trajectory like this is possible.

Bitcoin was designed as a currency and ethereum was designed as an energy product.

All coins are priced in bitcoin because you can not buy most directly. Soeculators must buy bitcoin and convert it into something else.

Bitcoin will be much more of a wealth store and peg than the underlying consumable resource used in decentralized application (directly).

So that is why ethereum is important. It is an easy cheap way to allow high throughput access to a distributed database.

It would be annoying if ethereum failed to meet expectations. If bitcoin does not, it will certainly diminish ALL coins and slow blockchain develoment years (or be catastrophic if already widespread)

So yes, ethereum could or could not be a cool hackerspace token. Either way the technology is amazing in blockchain, mining, etc so it would be a good project
Ah, hopefully one day the ReactOS project will be sufficient and not require these dodgy VMs.

I think this minor accident is actually a good thing for self-driving cars. It sets the expectation that they may not be perfect, and isn't a PR disaster in the way that a fatal accident may have been.

From here, more accidents are able to happen without being huge news stories. Undoubtedly, the first time someone dies in an accident involving a self-driving car, there will still be lots of questioning of the technology, but it won't come as a complete surprise, now that smaller accidents have occurred.

Driving in Latvia, -25 celcius, 1.5 meters snowfall, main road (closest they have to freeway/motorway not cleared ... it's 2 narrowish lanes each way with no center divider).... visibility extremely poor due to continuing snow fall.... Everyone continues driving like it's +25 celcius and sunny. This means 110km/h (90km/h speed limit in the dry 70km/h in the snow) bumper to bumper (or is that fender to fender?). Never been so petrified driving in my life. Somehow it all worked out but I can imagine one false move and we would have been looking at a 100 car plus pile up.
Seems more genuine lately though - likely driven by Elixir & Phoenix.
Because it would pigeonhole the distro.

Calculate basically takes Gentoo and precompiles it with certain defaults.

This means that the Calculate maintainers have made certain choices for the user, while Gentoo proper would have left them up to the user.
In general that's true, but it's a bit of a different story with React because it tends to throw errors if the DOM is modified outside of it.

I'm sorry, I've reread your sentence several times, and I still don't understand what it's trying to say.

Does your company have the same goals React Armor has (this seems to be what your double-negative is saying), or is it the party React Armor is trying to protect against, or is it relevant to React Armor in some other way?

Zurich is one of the most expensive cities in the world to live[1], though I have fond memories of when I did my postdoc there. I lived downtown a block from the Hell's Angels, 4 blocks from where the junkies and hookers hung out, and it was still cleaner than most parts of San Francisco.

>What do you do if you create a website which modifies the dom, but find out what your users have extension XYZ which completely breaks are our assumptions about what the dom is? For example you just received a server-rendered page which should have "ul/li/span.Foo", but find out that the span is a link now instead, so your JS breaks down.

Perhaps you should move away from the "just throw some js at it" mentality and learn to design things in a more robust fashion, so that they don't depend on having to make assumptions about the dom.

If you put Apache and Postgres into the same cgroup/pid namespace/mount namespace/network namespace, an attack on Apache could result in access to the mount namespace of your Postgres. (Presumably that is something you are trying to prevent).
LOL, I think I appreciated that more than I should have... very interesting to hear stream of consciousness thoughts on my language from a non-native speaker. Thanks!

I know Spanish and German both have multiple definite articles (el vs. la and... die or der or something?). Is one language native for you and the other learned? Does just the learned one give you trouble, or are you annoyed by having multiple definite articles in your native language as well? Worrying about gender is a constant annoyance for me in Spanish, but I assumed if I were a native speaker I wouldn't think twice about it.

I think what the comment you're replying to was saying is that even putting just one of them in a container would violate the rules here, because Apache and Postgres are multi-process applications (at least in many common configurations), and the rules say flat-out no more than one process.
M4 is a great tool. A good chunk of programmers now seem to have never been exposed to pre processors and what you can do with them, its a shame really.

Speculatively, there seems to be a double whammy effect of carbohydrate consumption when it comes to teeth.

(1) direct effect of sugar/carbs feeding bacteria in the mouth which produce acid which etches away at enamel,
(2) indirect effect of pleasure/getting 'high', which assists oral bacteria by suppressing the immune system

I've never seen a discussion including (2), or gauging its relative importance. The effect seems to be more pronounced with harder drugs like crack cocaine.
This article delves into a lot of speculation to the reason behind the increase of tooth decay in civilization. This issue was studied thoroughly 100 years ago [1] by a dentist who wanted to find control groups and get to the bottom of the issue instead of just speculate.

I don't see why not, as long as the license for that key matches the OS.

A friend of mine used to buy COA stickers from eBay that had XP keys on them for like $10 each. They are OEM keys so he used an OEM XP CD-ROM to install them with the keys on used systems. They would activate even if they have been used before. If activations run out you can call Microsoft and have them reset.

Windows 10 Keys are different, locked to the hardware. Windows XP keys can be transferred to a different system.
Stupid Windows always asks to update and resets all the apps to defaults(i.e its own apps). It will be much worse and more irritating if microsoft wins in this space. Fc* you Microsoft.

Here is what I spit out.

jeff is beyond the tallest human to ever kill both a horse and a mouse in one punch. It's actually pretty crazy to think that it was just 3 years ago that he first tried this challenge on for size. As he remembers it, he was walking down a dark path in a forest when a troll jumped out from behind a rock and whispered into his ear, "Jeff, you have the power to punch both a horse and a mouse at the same time and kill them if you really put your heart into it old chap!". Well, Jeff thought about it and decided, what the hell, why not give it a go. So he walked to the pet store and bought three mice and then took them to a ranch and placed one mouse on he back of a horse. He punched and failed. Then he remembered, the troll said that he really has to put his heart in it. So he grabbed a knife and cut open his chest. He then tore his heart out and while still standing he punched a second horse (which also had a mouse on it) and this time he killed them both. Now, you may be wondering, did Jeff survive? The answer to that question is impossible to answer because Jeff was never alive. He was a figment of the forest troll's imagination and that very forest troll went on to change it's name to Jeff. Is it the same Jeff from our story? Well, the only way to answer that is to ask yourself one simple question. Is a horse able to think it's a troll and if so does that horse like mice? The answer of course is yes. Or is it?
Excellent question! Mostly the research of people like John Ioannidis or Brian Nosek or Megan Head.

If only users were consistent and fair about what they wanted.

I wouldn't personally run something like this, but I've definitely experienced the frustration of having a user install an extension that changed my website, and then reported a bug in the extension to me.

Even when the extension is bug-free, it still adds a support burden. For instance, there's an extension that adds icons to usernames on my site. Users have asked me how to change their icon, and then gotten mad at me when I say I don't know.

It also adds a maintenance burden: Whenever I deploy various updates, I get complaints that the updates break one extension or another.

Not to mention, there are extensions not intentionally installed by users. For a while, there was some very common malware that rendered my website unusable. It added the text

<script src="http://example.com/malware.js"></script>

But it did it badly, so it changed:

<script src="/legitimatescript.js"></script>

to

<script src="/legitimates<script src="http://example.com/malware.js"></script>cript.js"></script>

Which, of course, rendered my site unusable.
