Fascinating... Well, apparently, excessive use of the Google with nonsensical queries should be a violation of any sane ToS agreement.

Ran it, wasn't too impress with the 'choices of words' being used for the Google searches, so I stopped it.
In general EPEL should never override packages from the base system. Other repos do that but EPEL's mission is to provide extra package not newer packages.

Otherwise it creates a mess. Someone adds EPEL, updates, now their software which was based of a base package is broken because EPEL upgraded libc or something like that.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes as the saying goes...

On the other hand, this should be just a silly thing with no real consequences.
They... already have one? What is this headline about?

I guess they're just going to spin-it-off so you can access it without being a Prime member.
Yes, the MacBook Air was a reaction to netbooks. But it was a different category of device, a high-end ultraportable. The same category of device that Ultrabooks fit into.
So has it been restored yet?

You'd think that someone reading this topic could get that cleared up pretty quickly.
Money and influence would have got him nowhere if Gawker had stayed within the law and/or common decency.
I learned how much I hate magic cow powers .
I would argue that its not and that it's a mess, starting with that URL. This is yet another fork of an outdated monitoring system(how many Nagios forks are there?) The architecture diagram made my head hurt, how many moving parts is that? I counted 8 separate components. There are much more modern monitoring systems these days such as Prometheus, Bosun and Riemann.
It shouldn't be a problem if there's a bias towards certain car models. It just means that some models will get a larger sample size and other models will get a smaller sample size. They could easily account for this by sticking error bars on all their graphs, and ideally, reporting their sample sizes. The real problem is the other aspect you mentioned, which is that for any given model, owners of that model might be more likely to consult a 3rd-party mechanic for some issues than others.
Well, they do if you let them.

For Mirimir, they have no clue. Just a bunch of blind alleys.
if Trump wins, there will be no TPP, at least if he sticks to his campaign promises. We all accidentally get a gift if he makes it to the Oval Office.
I was shocked the first time I saw someone use Powerpoint to make diagrams for an academic paper. Then I realized it's the closest thing to a real vector graphics editor in a typical person's toolbox. I won't stop being an Illustrator/LaTeX snob for my own work, but I can't fault people for using something they already know to get the job done and move on.
I try to avoid citing articles that are only available behind a paywall. Even though there isn’t always an alternative source available, if enough people favour citing open-access articles over paywalled ones, that should create an incentive to publish in open-access journals, because in academia, citations are everything. (That is a problem in itself, but it is the status quo.)
Model year data is important. If there was one model year, like a bad transmission, it will mess with the data.

I drove 6 ford escorts before buying a newer car. The 93 model year was terrible but I pushed my 1998 and 1997 to over 250,000 miles each with minimal repair costs.
Fisker and VPG were clearly failures, Tesla and Nissan seemed to work out ok though. You're clearly much more well versed in this situation than i am. It looks to me like a subsidize what you want and tax what you don't style economic policy, just like corn in Iowa. or FHA loans.

But i think we agree (since you changed your terms) it's not exactly a "bailout", but the timing sure was super handy for ford.
The article doesn't really explain things very well. Why did they only pick those 20 models to compare? I think they are all in the same price range? This is probably appealing to "mainstream" models, rather than enthusiast or luxury models.
Unfortunately you see the same disregard when looking horizontally across the globe. The death of an American is almost always given considerably more American media coverage than the regular atrocities taking place in other countries. Should proximity make what has happened any more or less significant?
If you haven't read one of the authors book's before (he's released titles on both Logstash and Docker.), he puts out really quality material and he seems to update them when new releases of the subject come out. This looks like another great release. Kudos James.
I didn't realize that... but it's also important to note that Ireland is not part of the Schengen zone. After your 90 in Ireland/UK, you can move on to to Europe.
I don't know if this is a win for privacy (Qualcomm's modem was known to be compromised), or if Intel's Management Engine (or similar) gets a new home.
He sold shares to Russ Hanneman and Reviga bought those shares off of Hanneman.
They probably are, given the sales volume.

I do believe that, while Toyota should be commended on its engineering, the electric motor is actually beneficial to reduce wear and tear on the most expensive parts. This seems to be supported by the fact that are many other Toyota models in the low maintenance list, but only the Prius at the top.

The prius is pretty mature now too. And the "synergy" system is licensed to third parties. Nissan uses it on their hybrid models.

Disclaimer: Nissan Leaf owner. I am not expecting high maintenance bills either. The only thing that worries me is the weight of the vehicle and the crappy OEM tires it comes with.
My last Jeep Wrangler tires cost $1300. Granted, they are a bit larger than stock, and I had to buy 5, but $1500 isn't grossly out of line for quality tires.
Strawman. Nobody is suggesting this is illegal. But you should get your arse sued off civilly if you do this.
A single company's opinion on a multinational treaty should be completely irrelevant. The fact that it matters speaks poorly of our representative government, and the fact that Google is willing to use that power to attempt to influence policy decisions speaks poorly of Google's respect for citizen rule.
Scrolling is broken in Safari on this page. Maybe the page authors should spend less time in the Chrome dev tools and more in the dev tools of other browsers.
> And that's true enough for me.

But it's not true as a general proposition, nor are you excluding an irrelevant class of litigation. Much (most?) commercial litigation is between well-funded parties (e.g. a big company and it's insurer).

> Interesting report, thank you for the link. I think 90% in and of itself is high enough to warrant scrutiny

The government should only bring a lawsuit if it looks at the evidence and decides it can prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Generally, that's in the 95% certainty range. A jury should only convict if it comes to the same conclusion. Thus, it should be quite unusual for the jury to acquit. If the jury is acquitting in 25% of cases, that means the government is bringing lots of prosecutions it shouldn't be bringing.

It's true that over the last 30 years, the government has gotten much more conservative about bringing prosecutions. That's a good thing. Many might disagree with the law underlying, say, the Silk Road case, but it's hard to say the government didn't base that prosecution on a wealth of evidence.
You're kind, I'm grumpy.

You're the better person.

The thing is: When you're in front of someone that is (my experience, matching the article) somewhere between unfriendly, annoyed and power-hungry and you KNOW that this person decides about your next couple of hours (or departure), rational advise by other people probably isn't the first thing to consider.

I know that I start to react differently in a car as soon as a police car is driving in my vincinity. I know that I personally felt like shit at most airport/border controls.

Yes, I could totally write a bot to answer with 'attend' vs 'speak' and 'vacation' vs 'work' for various answers. The rules of the game (it's a game. A terrible game) are easy enough. That doesn't change the fact that humans might get stuck, feel out of place, get anxious etc. etc..

The GP (and you in this kinder version) are flying across the sky here. Is it a plane? No, it's Captain Obvious.

You (both) are right. But the advise doesn't matter. The damage was done (for what benefit? Protecting the UK against .. what?) and I'd bet that the OP knows these guidelines as well.

Here's another thing: What good is a border control if all guidelines state that you should say basically nothing and fall back to "I'm on vacation" / "I'm visiting a conference" if pressed? If the .. helpful posts online try to explain how you might game the system or at least avoid suspicion? Look at all the threads here and you'll find people saying that you should just state this or that. That you shouldn't communicate something or another. Basically the tenor is that you should withhold information or (well, basically the same thing) lie to have it easy. It's messed up.

(Again: I think that you expressed the idea quite a bit less aggressive / accusatorily (if that's even a real word) though)
Did you know Rust was quite a bit faster than C in regexdna merely a few months ago? It didn't get slower because of Rust. The algorithms employed are radically different. My hope is that the regex library has already regained performance, but until the benchmark game is updated (which is on us, not the benchmark game maintainer), I suppose we'll have to suffer the pedants!

Or perhaps, you might look at single threaded performance and wonder, maybe there is something more interesting going on than a naive surface analysis of C vs. Rust! :-) https://benchmarksgame.alioth.debian.org/u64/rust.php

And by the way, transliterating a regex library isn't trivial. I invite you to transliterate Tcl's regex library. Let me know how that goes. ;-) So I think your reasoning is specious at best.
I had a horrifying experience with mine, a 2002 model. There were issues ever so often, but what took the cake was that, 6 years in, it started to burn oil, as, from full to low on oil in 100 miles. The car's diagnostics saw nothing wrong, so even knowing what to fix would have involved opening the engine up, and that's a lot of labor. Then you might end up with a costly part replacement on top. The actual recommendation from the mechanic, given that the car was still relatively new, was to fill the oil up and trading it in to a dealer without disclosing the problem, that there's no way they'd find anything wrong with it in any pre-purchase inspection!

So... yeah, Mazda6, not so much.
I similarly think that the bailout was a success. I just think that people have a horribly myopic perspective when they act like Ford didn't receive government/taxpayer benefits during the financial crisis.
I don't think the hybrid nature of the Prius simply means that there's more opportunities for things to go wrong. The fact that there's a large battery capable of supplying power means that the engine RPMs don't have to spike as much when you floor the accelerator, so the presence of a battery could significantly reduce the overall wear and tear on the internal combustion engine and thus reduce the overall need for repairs, despite increasing the number of parts.

I'm reminded of a Usenet campaign in the mid-late 90s, adding hot terms to sigs.
So, what you've done is add a new, non-obvious step to every installation, that will probably get worked around by the package maintainers very shortly after (they'll add a step to the installer to add a firewall rule). Your suggestion is pure human churn, and I seriously doubt that it will make it any more likely that admins will pay attention)
I take "megacorps" to mean large, established companies with strong political connections. Companies that exert influence both over people's lives and governments; not necessarily malicious.
Law suits occasionally come to incorrect results (the appellate process exists to mitigate this risk, and the higher burden of proof in certain cases, notably criminal cases, exists to direct which side those errors tend to fall on), punishing people who are within the bounds of law and common decency.

Therefore, a deep pockets agent funding every potential lawsuit from other parties they can find (or stimulate), increasing the number of such suits and the likelihood that they will go to trial, can, simply by taking enough swings, eventually impose a combination of legal costs and judgements that will financially destroy the target; actual unlawful behavior may reduce the time it takes for this strategy to succeed, but isn't necessary for it to work.

So, given Theil's demonstrated proclivities in the multiple lawsuits he was funding against Gawker, I don't think the statement that Gawker would have been okay if they had stayed within the law is warranted.
That's not cool, even here in México we have that, but then again politcians in méxico are so fucking retarded that they may not even know what google street view is.
What about if they were not performing the searches intentionally? What prevents someone paying to serve an advert that does exactly the same thing?
Yeah, I was surprised about that as well. Minis (post BMW acquisition) are always in the "fun to drive/expensive to maintain" as described by car mags. It was my understanding (when I purchased my 2012) that all maintenance was included in the purchase price (through 36k miles).

I purchased the "extended maintenance plan" (increasing all scheduled maintenance from 36k to 60k) on my 2012 for $2500 and have only paid an additional couple hundred in maintenance since then.

I'm not counting tires - which I have spent quite a bundle on due to having both summer and winter tires and wheels for my vehicle.
I hope you're OK with a compromise between your pessimism and optimism. I think what you'll see over the next few years is continued movement (with increased velocity) toward open access for well-funded research areas (ie bio and other hard sciences, etc). If you're getting decent grant money from the government or a funding body (like Wellcome Trust or Gates) then your research will be highly likely to be open access, and not just after an embargo period. But in disciplines that aren't well funded it's going to be a different story. Humanities and much of Social Science doesn't have the same funding situation, and so therefore the existing system is going to stick around for quite a while.

The zealots will argue that every service a traditional publisher provides should only cost $20 a paper (or whatever other number you pull form thin air). Except if that was true you'd have a bunch of startups offering compelling publishing services for that price point, which you don't. Vetting and curating scientific literature has real costs, and those who say it doesn't don't have defensible models they can point to to show that it can work without real money flowing. It's always just hand-wavey arguments about theoretical cheap costs.

So I think your optimism will be proven right (or at least more right than wrong) when it comes to well-funded research areas. And your pessimism will be proven right when it comes to fields without the same funding structure.
According to https://ballotpedia.org/2016_presidential_candidates_on_the_... all of the remaining candidates oppose the TPP.
Is it anti-consumer?

Convince me. I'm open. But I also want you to include counter-arguments. I want to hear both sides to reach a conclusion.

So far most anti-TPP arguments I've read are high on rhetoric and low on substance.
Planets are going to act like an ablative heat shield so it's not quite that simple, however yea even if you survive the initial event it's going to cook any fragments that would otherwise make it. Also, supernova don't just toss out radiation, the kinetic energy imparted to the outer layers of hydrogen is ridiculous.

Reverse engineering?
Ahh, the ones that were oversteering unexpectedly ;-) Yes, 911 nowadays is different, as you said pedestrian. For old-skool oversteering and difficult driving you have Porsche Carrera GT now ;-) 911 is IMO much easier to drive than most US muscle cars. Lambo with its changing aerodynamics and stiff suspension literally feels like butter at very high speeds and is a terrible shaker when driving slow.

Here in Germany a Hausfrau returning from shopping drives 120mph+ easily so people here are used to a higher default speed level than in the US where you are allowed 65mph. Often when overtaking on Autobahns you drive 130mph and some nervous Porsche/AMG etc. drivers blink at you to leave the fast lane so that they can pass.
I've heard a lot of complaining about Honda lately which bugs me. I actually purchased a Honda motorcycle[0] because of tens of industry reviews lauding the quality and reliability and avoided a Harley at least in part because of the "It's a Harley. Sometimes they stall."[1] (that, and I'm a twig of a man so I'd look ridiculous on a Harley).

[0] Specifically, I purchased a model they'd brought over from Europe (good sized engine, sport/touring, 100+ miles to the gallon but "you don't buy a bike to save on gas") and the reviews for the European model were universally good.

[1] This was an actual quote from the guy at the Harley dealership after he succeeded in starting a floor model only to have it crap out after 5 seconds of idling. He thought I'd be impressed with how loud the damn thing was. Little did he know I wasn't looking to be that guy, I just always wanted a motorcycle and the bike I purchased is exceptionally quiet.
As I ponder the suburban/urban/rural matter, I come to a pretty blunt conclusion - in order to have a functioning society over the next 150 years, we need to effectively outlaw exurbs and suburbs or make them prohibitively expensive.

We need to prioritize solving climate change; prioritize effective resource distribution; prioritize central management at the provincial/federal level; prioritize integrations of humanity into high-density regions. This will boost effectiveness of the tax dollar per square mile, as well as collocating more tax dollars in census zones, so having more dollars per mile. Vast amounts of functionally unsustainable infrastructure - from roads, to schools, to governmental structures have been built that is not fundable at the level we are asking it to perform at.

This needs to change at the federal level, and aggressively.

Fundamentally there are repeated precedents in US history for this kind of centralized planning: the two big waves previously are homesteading and suburban funding via Fannie/Freddie and post-WW2 home loans. The US needs to do it again.

Having lived in the suburb and rural worlds, I understand their viewpoint - and it is valid, but doesn't have the mathmatics to sustain it - but my perspective is that a profound slow-moving crisis is upon us; the only real solution is to start shutting down the suburbs and urbanize as hard as possible.

We're not in the 1890s or the 1950s anymore; our housing policy needs to address the functioning reality of 2016 and the challenges we face today.
If anyone isn't sold on DuckDuckGo: using quotes for literal queries actually does something, instead of Google deciding that's not actually what you meant.

ARMH doesn't sell chips nor manufacture them. They license the IP so that Apple can make their own custom chips.

> And again especially works of nonfiction or scientific papers.

As much as I feel that science---especially publicly funded science (which almost all of it is)---ought to be freely available fairly quickly, I think making a distinction for the purposes of copyright law between fiction and non-fiction is fairly hairy. Clearly "A Streetcar Named Desire" is fiction, but what about memoirs? Poetry? The Onion? Dianetics? The output of human writing spans a continuum of factual-ness, and it's not obvious to me that there's a good way to draw a line.

Even in the hardest of sciences, it's often underappreciated how much interpretation and creative energy goes into a paper.
Well, they removed "Don't be evil" as their motto, replaced it with "Do the right thing", which clearly means "make more moneys". They became yet another big corporation.
Thanks mate - very kind!
I see that the point about countries not being allowed to require local storage because

>These provisions will support the Internet’s open architecture and make it more difficult for TPP countries to block Internet sites -- so that users have access to a web that is global, not just local.

I do however believe that there is a aspect that has been overlooked here.
Many cooperations, private and governmentally controlled, handle sensitive data.
Having a SLA with Microsoft, Amazon or Google that states that this highly sensitive data is ONLY to be stored in specific data centers is the only way for a lot of non flexible IT departments to regain some control over their data.
This is a widely popular demand. I can only see this as the "X eyes" with USA in charge removing one more hurdle in their way to total information control.
I'm Canadian and I have done this. After trying to deal with bipolar disorder for years I decided I'd finally try medication. I'd seen psychologists off-the-record before to diagnose. Seeing how family members have been treated for having mental issues makes me afraid of getting an official treatment. So I source lamotrigine (Lamictal), titrated myself up and seem to be doing OK. I saw a psychiatrist under an assumed named to verify my understanding of things (hint: unfortunately, most of their psych treatments are guesswork and playing medical roulette).

I was a bit nervous as this medicine can make your skin die and fall off (SJS), so I found a private dermatologist to go to just in case. Fortunately it's working fine for me. No more days spent moping in bed. And no official diagnostic that I'm not sane. Costs me about $2000 a year. Small price to pay to not be treated like a child and having my volition called into question.
How about anti-national-sovereignty? The secret drafts and the extra-legal processes weaken national sovereignty.
