Do you know what country you live in? A bodybuilder from Austria with a heavy accent became governor of California. The son of a Kenyan economist battled an army kid born in a territory in the middle of Panama for the 2008 presidential election. The son of oil prospectors was born in Canada and then grew up to be the last challenger to Donald Trump.

Isn't this exactly the type of attitude that lead to Brexit? I can't believe I'm defending Murdoch, but who are you to determine one's "cultural identity"? What a bizarre comment.
Considering their 8+ years of negative GDP growth, there's not a lot to point out that they won't go bankrupt or will be able to service their debt when they have to start paying again (2022) anyway. From the most recent IMF projections (May 2016 [1]), without debt restructuring: "Gross financing needs cross the 15 percent-of-GDP threshold already by 2024 and the 20 percent threshold by 2029, reaching around 30 percent by 2040 and close to 60 percent of GDP by 2060."

Except it didn't work. After overthrowing the monarchy, France went through a number of highly unstable governments until Napoleon ascended to the throne in 1805. That period was called the Reign of Terror for a reason. If you were suspected of being a counter-revolutionary, you could be executed without trial.

After Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo, the French monarchy was restored. When the Second Republic was established after the revolution of 1848, Napoleon III quickly abused his uncle's popularity to establish another dictatorship within five years. This lasted until 1870.
I appreciate Animats' comment, and it's on topic. I recently saw someone using a Toughbook but didn't have time to stop and ask about it.

And like you say, not everyone can re-purposes cases and hack and convert things. So it's nice to see "if you're into this, you might also like to know about ..." comments.
and I have the complete opposite view. Openstack is killing it even though it's as crappy as everything else in many ways. It's without cost, it's automatable, you don't build inhouse software to handle it, and you build applications that can withstand software and hardware failures.

Openstack isn't a replacement for configuration management.

The massive design by committee is fantastic, because you can help change and adapt where openstack goes. You don't have that option with insert vendor.

We just disagree completely
Which would be great if the UK were Japan. But it's not.
The amount I've spent isn't the issue. It's def significant though. MZ made me obsolete after spending 35k+. They release SO many things, in a very short period of time. To keep up and stay at a competitive level, you would need to spend several thousand dollars each week at the current rate MZ is going. It's been this way for months now. I deleted the app yesterday and walked away from this game.
I've never been a gamer. This was the first (and last) game I've ever got involved with at this level. They suck you in, then keep you trapped. They are professionals at getting more money out of people. Spending isn't the problem. The problem is how MZ treats their customers. I've never seen customers treated this bad in my entire life. Email responses are nothing more than an automated response that has nothing to do with the email you sent. There is no freedom of speech in GOW. You could have a $50,000 account and if you slip up and use a word like; ban, boycott, etc.. They will lock the account and you will be out of the $50,000 you invested. Corruption at best. To try and explain the level of corruption, and shady shit they do, can't be explained in a blog. If you aren't familiar with the game, it will be impossible to understand. It's literally sickening what MZ does. It would take a book to explain everything this company has done to thousands of players. Players with accounts over $100k are quitting at an alarming rate. MZ only care about money. They don't care about their product. They are trying to milk every dollar they can out of GOW before it dries up, then they will repeat the exact same thing with Mobile Strike.. I can't wait for Karma to pay them a visit. Worst business tactics I've ever seen. It's never been about spending for the players, it's about respect and appreciation. Two words MZ knows nothing about. GREED has ruined this game and MZ. They could still be VERY profitable by listening to the players and giving the players (majority) what they want. I hope this blog spreads like a wild fire .. So many others that will chime in. Then, when it does, MZ will start in with the threats, etc etc
Which legislation do you mean?

> Note: the GBPUSD hit a 31 year low today

Alternatively, it's approximately the same value today as it was in February this year. Yes, it briefly hit that low, but bounced back above it almost immediately.

The drop in the GBP also isn't as precipitous as some are making out when you realise that half of the value of the drop was added in the 10 days leading up the vote.

So yeah, it's not great, but it's nowhere near the levels of doom and gloom that some people are making it out to be.

Edit: and if you look at the FTSE 100 priced in USD over the last month, it paints a slightly saner story also. Much of the fall "caused by a vote to leave" was just correcting buildup that happened in the last 10 days or so.
A store like CostCo that probably has a $5 minimum item price could be a good market for it.
That's not true either, commercial software is alive and well. Some things take a ton of resources and developers thrown at it, and commercial software has that advantage at times.
Yes; in addition you might want to ask your accountant about FBAR and FATCA reporting requirements. Those usually kick in if the sum of maximum balances of your foreign holdings over the year exceeds 10k (including retirement and market accounts, and yes, this does apply if you move one dollar between ten thousand accounts over the course of the tax year).

Edit to add: As a US citizen you are required to pay taxes on worldwide income even while not living in the US. As a US tax resident, you are required to pay taxes on worldwide income only as long as you remain a US tax resident, i.e. you file a US tax return.
Be a conviction engineer
Right. This part of the article was the most aggrevating for me.

Perhaps the author could refrain from speaking for everybody! OpenStack may be a ruinous rubbish barge of a platform, but others are working on software that seeks to _reduce_ operational complexity. Software that does not exist merely to propel yet another band of consultants into a defeatist, over-priced nightmare cathedral of apparently irreducible complexity and unmitigated unreliability.

Outcomes for customers are extremely important, but it does not follow that software quality is immaterial, or unachievable, or that OpenStack is just as good a choice as anything else -- even if it does come with a consulting racket.
Unfortunately that only works for WiFi connections for me. My USB modem presents itself as LAN connection so I can't mark that. I also couldn't mark my tethered phone connection as metered.
Most commonwealth member states don't have the queen as their head of state. Only 16 of the 53. With the exception of Australia, NZ, Papua New Guinea and Canada these 16 are almost all small (in many case island) countries. You can very be sure that Pakistan, India, South Africa and Nigeria along with 33 other countries don't regard Queen Elizabeth II as their head of state.
In every major company there is unofficial price list for "services" in the support departments. Most often they are motivated by good old profit.

To be fair it's pretty dumb given Steam's current market position to not release on Steam. Given that is unlikely to change the "strings" on this deal really don't seem that bad. There is nothing stopping you from also publishing on Oculus store (if they allow non-exclusives) in addition to SteamVR.

The only thing that would make it nasty is if there is nasty clauses in the case you are unable to meet the prepaid Steam revenue. However I don't know the answer to that.

I can understand the US shared dream, but are you really serious about the other points?
In what is today called United States of America in the beginning there were indeed people with different languages, religions and radically opposite culture.
Manhattan, hearth of New York and global economy, was Dutch.
California (or at least part of it) was Mexican.
The vast majority of the land was inhabited by Native Americans.
And you are telling me that a United Europe is more difficult than unify that unbelievable potpourri that was US at the beginning?
Before the Brexit that was an ongoing process that slowly was moving toward a common goal.

Carol Dweck's work on the growth mindset says that you can change who you are.

So California should break off by this logic?

What about London from the rest of England?

Why not transform everything into tiny autonomous little city states?

Perhaps the nation of San Francisco?

The problems of the 21st century; climate change, desertification and its corresponding migratory effects, fresh water depletion, sea level rises, the devaluation of labor capital, avoiding another world war... these can't be addressed by tiny little autonomous nations working in their own self interest based on some fetishized national narrative.

That's what caused the problems to begin with. Capital and nature doesn't respect borders. There's one planet. Any subdivision past that is an artificial invention and permits writing off consequences and shunting of responsibilities.

We're all adults here and it's high time we start acting like it.
For reference, I'm referring to the directions you get at the top of the search results when you type "installing go on ubuntu" into Google.

The directions link to Stack Overflow, though I don't know how the search result picked out these steps, as Stack Overflow has a different accepted answer that doesn't work. Intervention by Google, possibly?

I didn't realize it would only make one directory. That is reassuring. I would still prefer packages as a way to install, upgrade, and remove Go, instead of remembering months from now that Go is installed differently from everything else and there's this directory I need to mess with.

Now, that all would have been more intuitive as something to do in my home directory. If it only needs one directory and it can go anywhere, why would these Google-blessed directions tell me to mess with /usr/local? I believe you, I just assumed that people would be averse to messing with system files without a package if there were any other option.

(I think of Python, where the one thing you're supposed to do with your system Python is use virtualenv to install a non-system Python. Which is another example of something that's only clear to veterans of the language.)

Now... this is a problem with a whole lot of programming languages. Programming languages change. Their libraries change way too fast for an OS-approved package manager to keep up, so you need a package manager for your language. And that changes too, and nobody designs their packaging system to smoothly update to a better packaging system designed by someone else.

Maybe one day every programming language and OS will unite under one purely functional packaging system and never replace it... haha, no.
I don't doubt the story at all and I am sad to hear that, but I have to make the following points:

-) Even if no fingerprints are taken, the other points I made stand.

-) Anecdotal evidence is weak/no evidence, though I will not disregard it completely.

-) Not sure where this happened, call me biased (I really don't want to open a can of worms here), but I have more believe in the police of Austria compared to many other (including the USA for example) countries. [1]

[1] I don't mean to imply the capabilities are different, I want to say that I think the police in the USA, especially on the level of "normal" police officers, seems to get away with far more misconduct / inappropriate behaviour than a police officer in Austria ever would. Crime rates also have a huge impact, in areas of high crime rates or under-funded police especially "smaller" cases will not be investigated properly, et cetera...

>Infrastructure software isn't dead - but Openstack is.

Same tired old hype cycle trope. Openstack is dying in the same way that 'virtualization is dead'. Containers are in the spotlight now so openstack is dead - a.k.a enterprises are actually adopting it now so it's addressing all sorts of boring requirements that aren't sexy to developers.
That's exactly the case :)
I should have said Commonwealth Realm then.
Agreed. I've never felt an "in-over-my-head" feeling as strongly as when I first stumbled upon the Lens package docs on Hackage.
>And the breaking releases every 6 months only add insult to injury.

The core services are backwards compatible much longer than 6 months from what I've seen. I'm not sure where you got your experience from, but it doesn't sound like Nova, Cinder, Glance, etc.
Love how I get down votes for the truth. If your bank refuses for any reason to give you access to your account you probably lose your job, your apartment, loans ...it will ruin your life for good. Happens to lot of people, its no mystery. In Western Europe you can't even have a normal average legal life without a bank account, that is why they had to introduce laws to force the banks to give everybody an account, because before banks often refused to do so and then peopl where stuck and their situation spiraled down the drain.
Infrastructure software helps avoid directly managing hardware. You can change an OS all you want but that won't change the problem of managing physical resources (storage, network, compute).
My experiences going from Costco Amex to Costco Citibank:

* Fraud protection learning seems to be reset from the old Amex history so I've had a regular purchase (sushi joint) get flagged.

* Haven't found the ability to add spouse to web based account management.

* New card issued has smart chip in it, which is a pain at most retailers since their readers require "eating" the card and take longer payment processing time before the card is ejected. So basically my older Amex was more convenient while using "inferior" tech.

* Costco gas pumps seem to be updated with new Visa prompts for cards. I wonder what kind of hassle it was to update that system.

* Apple Pay has a hard time recognizing my card with camera input. I had to manually enter information.
Your comment makes no sense. SDN just provides the same barriers as regular network hardware in an automated and more flexible nature. It has nothing to do with data plane confidentiality.

There are some people who simply become bitter, angry at everything and that gives them difficulty making new friends... I can't recover my faith in women since being dumped in my 20ies in bad conditions - it gave me an entirely new perspective on how society treats women (and I say "women" as the category fixed by the laws which gives those women rights because of their gender). And even if I keep trying to do the things of the good guy (thousands of donations, work for gender equality, church, volunteering...), I now rather identify with the bad person in the movies or in the political discourse. I've gotten used to defending a point-of-view that is slightly less inclusive because it relies on slightly more responsibility from citizen, and immediately get conflated with extreme-right opinions, so why bother?
Cool, I've sent you a follow up email.

One of my jobs as the person usually responsible for setting up and writing the core bits of new projects at my company is to make a build that just works. All most all of our core (e.g. serious) projects consist of the following steps:

* git clone

* setup.{bat, sh)

* Open IDE of choice.

* Click build button. (or run make)

The only dependencies are git, a default PC OS install (Linux, Windows, Mac), and your IDE of choice. Any project or system that can't provide that easily is too complicated by far, our non-technical CEO and sales staff can build and run our code without any help.

A great deal of those problems are directly the result of large nation states and industrialization.

Things that work in California don't make sense in the rest of the country--after all, look how well they've handled their water and regulating their own usage.

Similarly, I don't think anybody from rural US would look kindly on progressive values being instilled on them--nor anybody in a liberal city having to put up with the opposite.

The advantage of small government is that it allows flexibility and accommodation for its population.

This article doesn't add much to the conversation. Trump has been severely (and appropriately) criticized on these points before.

And then he starts to make similar mistakes himself. He wants to keep guns away from "mentally unstable" people, people on watch lists, suspected terrorists. That's a circumvention of due process, and due process is one of the best tools we have to prevent Trump-like abuses.
> but my intuition says this is believable.

We replaced that with science and fact-checking hundreds of years ago. Seriously, what a useless, stupid response, fucking asshole.
There is a difference between wishing/thinking to be different and actually being different. The moral code, greater world view, etc. is very much alike. We celebrate our differences, as we should, but it seems that Britain forgot the common base we share. I fear it will hurt them more than they realize.
