Are you advocating an OS from the guys that are worse than Apple, closed as much as possible? The "CM cannot support us", "If you flash anything, we blow a fuse", "Crapware is good for you" Samsung?

Granted, I haven't tried Tizen. But I AM using a Samsung device at the moment and let me state it as clear as possible: Samsung is the worst, the absolute worst, phone manufacturer in my frequently changing usage. I wouldn't trust Samsung with anything.

Incidentally I've been at a Samsung HQ (not phone related, printers) a while back and the manager in charge stated something like "We're great at hardware, we suck at support". I had a hard time keeping a straight face.

Honestly: There's no phone company that is worse than Samsung. I am not convinced that Tizen can fix that.

(I have a S6E right now and I constantly want to throw it against various obstacles)
So your argument is basically that governments should not allow democratic votes on issues because if there are enough citizens that are unhappy with their governments they might vote in protest of the current government?

The problem is not the referendum or the people who vote in an undesired way, the problem is always the government.
So I've heard something similar before...wouldn't showing remain winning make remain voters complacent and less likely to vote?
> Maybe Signal is awesome. But privacy from law enforcement is not a killer feature. The US Government has substantial leverage over me in other ways.

What about the UK government? The GCHQ is one of the most aggressive and sophisticated signals intelligence agencies in the world.

What about the RU government? Or the Chinese government?

The reason most security folks speak of "nation state actors" in aggregate isn't to be euphemistic (initials: NSA), it's because "the only threat you might encounter online is your local government" isn't necessarily true.

To be clear, I don't want to turn this into a political discussion. I just wanted to point out that the scope is wider than your comment implied.
Gag Order on Lavabit’s Levison Lifted
> Immigration into the UK from non-EU citizens is subject to many controls, including passport checks (which btw, EU citizens also are subjected to). As for intra-EU migration, I'm not sure I'd characterize Poland, Belgium, Holland, Germany, etc. etc. as hostile nations or illiterate.

There are a lot of practically illiterate people in every country. If you were an illiterate Brit working a simple construction job, wouldn't you be worried about competition from Poles and EU migrants from other countries?

> That and the young who will likely see their opportunities to work elsewhere in Europe complicated.

I would think that only a very small minority of Brits work abroad for extended periods of times. The benefit for British people to be able to work abroad might not be worth the cost in extra competition for low-skill jobs from very large number of EU immigrants.
What I mean by non-recursive in this case is that the program does not perform recursion by itself as it relies on a list of DNS resolvers. When querying these resolvers, the recursion bit is actually set. However, I agree that the title might be misleading but I am not sure how I could express that better.
That was an unfortunate paragraph, but I stand by what I wrote. Surely you can think of others reasons why he would say that besides naivety?
Social capital is a form of intangible value, as is cultural capital. The "technical middle class" (not my terminology) in the UK is usually described as relatively lacking both of these things for a group of its economic status: "Members of the class report the lowest number of social contacts of any of the classes, though these do tend to be high status, probably mostly other professional experts. It is relatively culturally disengaged with both highbrow and emerging culture." (Wikipedia)

From what you say I'm guessing you don't see the service sector as a viable form of "value" in the UK's economy, and maybe you also don't think of culture (creativity in the arts, or heritage and museums) as a form of renewable and intangible value? Whether that can support the UK entirely is another matter.

It's also a matter of socialization in the sociological sense. This is a fascinating concept for the slightly alienated among us to consider(!), even if you disregard what sociologists do with it:

I'd assume the lego pirate wave was due to the malfunctioning of the wave-generator and not due to any mystery properties of water.

I mean there obviously are mystery properties of water, just that in such a controlled environment as that video a malfunction seems much more likely.
Members of parliament? Plus, commissioners are appointed by the member state governments, so indirectly you can vote for those, too.

There are no kings or queens running the EU, nor do people just randomly show up and get power. Everyone who has power is either elected or was appointed by someone who was elected.
In the US, we blame Mexican immigrants for school planning problems, language integration issues, etc. In the UK, they blame a variety of multilingual immigrants: immigrants from Poland to Pakistan.

We use strikingly similar scapegoating techniques in our political rhetoric.
> The UK just burned billions without a valid reason for it.

This is just markets responding to temporary uncertainty. Far more was wiped off European stocks than the FTSE, reflecting the fact that investors are more worried about the future of the EU than they are the UK.

> He promises he'll make America great again, but has never bothered discussing HOW he proposes to achieve that.

The argument for a better future upon leaving the EU was clear and realistic. Leaving the EU puts power back in the hands of the British people to decide their own destiny, for better or worse.

> Guess what, UK was not in the Schengen to begin with, so they always were in control of their border.

Although the UK was not in the Schengen Area, it had absolutely no control over migration from other EU countries.

As a member of the EU, every single citizen of the EU has a right to live and work in the UK indefinitely. 700 million people could turn up on the UK's doorstop tomorrow and there's nothing the UK could do about it.

That's what is meant by the term 'uncontrolled immigration'

> The money it costs to be part of the EU, guess what, is not a much as we stated before - and we'll need to pay a fee if we want to trade with the EU. The UK will never get a better trade with the EU - that would be delusional. I could ramble on...

The UK was a net contributor to the EU. That is undeniable. For all the funding the EU provided to projects in the UK, we were getting back pennies on the pound.

Who says we will need to pay a fee to retain access to the single market? Norway does, but it is a net exporter to the EU. The UK is a net importer. If anything, the EU should be paying the UK to join the single market.
Don't they intend to stay in there and have similar deal like Norway? Norway had to accept free movement.
"which is essentially the same complaint as theirs but different specifics [s/(Unix|Windows)/Linux/ s/Plan 9/Illumos/]"

That's funny.

"I get the sense we both think different operating systems, or even hardware, should (eventually) get used all over. I get why for projects due in a year go the path of real resistance, but I think the economic argument that e.g. Google should be designed something post-unix for 15 years is pretty rock solid."

True. Especially given they're all already doing something new in the cloud. They have custom CPU's, custom boards, more efficient protocols, alternatives to all kinds of standards... you name it. No convergence on stuff that could get OSS benefits once open licensed. They could keep a good chunk to themselves for competitiveness if they wanted. Just do more than they are on getting CPU, kernel, firmware, and OS modifications. Other contributors, including from CompSci, will do plenty more as we've seen in Linux, LLVM, Java, browsers, especially Python, and so on. It's ridiculous the companies ignoring the opportunity are those standing to benefit.

"I consider nix* more "silver ductape" than "silver bullet"---it made personally using Unix tolerable :)."

Fair enough. A lot of good stuff in IT is ductape.

"Also if your are running some "pre-cloud" "pre-container" "ancient" setup---on a heterogeneous pile of old desktops in a closet even!---I think nix* would actually allow one to change well than some more popular technologies."

I was thinking shops doing Red Hat, OpenSUSE and so on might benefit from stuff like this. Definitely potential there.

"but I think that's better than the reverse because it's easier to rewrite a misdesigned UI than misdesigned foundation."

Not that: enterprises and other businesses know someone will handle their problems now and later with Red Hat, SUSE, and Ubuntu. Is there assurance of that for Nix?

"the real risk is more shitty software than malicious software, and Nix for a long time has been fully capable of dealing with the former. "

That's the risk I was talking about.

"I don't know how one would fuck up the packaging itself: that either works and properly encapsulates things or doesn't work."

Parsing, protocol, filesystem, and network errors. Even ASN.1 and JSON had issues despite their simplicity. So, that has to be considered, too. Preferrably auto-generated from grammar, checked, and in safe code (even C subset).

"but do note NixOS doesn't need systemd (or Linux!) for any fundamental reason."

So the whole distro is separate from Linux itself in terms that it could work on a BSD or Windows just replacing some OS-specific modules? There a link describing that in more detail? Good to know it's not dependent on systemd, though, for uptake reasons. I agree with you on supporting multiple mechanisms. High-assurance also has a mantra of separating mechanisms from policy since it provides all kinds of benefits. Btw, are you a NixOS developer or did "we" mean something else?
The UK was the third largest net contributor to the EU

To keep things in perspective, the UK's contributions amounted to 10.7% of the general budget in the period 2007-2013.
Has anyone tried running a "private" Signal cluster? I'm sad that Signal is so centralized. I wish they had built a federated protocol instead. :(
I understand your intent but please don't find this satisfying. Many who voted 'out' did so simply because they felt they had no other method of getting their voice heard. They used the referendum as a way to express their loss of faith in UK politics, answering a different question to the one asked. It's a complete failure of the democratic process. Regrettably, those same people will likely be by far the worst effected by the result.
>liberal strategy as been to define and label opposition as racist/sexist/*ist for a very long time now.

Are you going to sit there with a straight face and claim that Donald Trump is not racist or sexist? Or that the GOP hasn't consistently been fighting against LGBT rights for decades?
I'm not competent to explain why Tacoma Narrows failed, but it obviously wasn't up to design load. The existence of large sheets of glass falling off buildings and endangering people from multiple different installations strongly indicates that someone botched something.
No, I don't "stereotype 100% of wealthy people". I am talking about a single wealthy person, and I'm basing my opinion on his actions.

He can and will say whatever he needs to say to get support. Looking at the history of his actions is a much better indicator towards what he will actually do.

Good points.

Both are actually, in some sense, the same thing. Both are costs which you will pay instead of your insurance company. Because they don't pay those costs, their assesments of the costs of a fire will be off. Thus they will let some houses burn which optimally, would not burn.

However, my underlying point was really that it does make rational sense to allow some houses to burn. We could put a fireman on every street, and we'd probably save a lot of houses, lives, and heirlooms. But that would prohibitively expensive. Instead, we have to engage in trade-offs, having cheaper fire protection at the cost of risking some houses, lives, and heirlooms.
Having the choice to work a bit less is actually good. And the economic gains from increased distributive efficiency would be huge.

In reality, there is already a large basic income program, it's called Social Security.

I'm sure you probably think that giving millions of elderly the freedom to retire is terrible for economic development, but it is no doubt a great advance for human decency.
Ugh, so this is why banks ask you to type your cart number and call support password before they connect you to a real person. And then he asks you your some private informations, then fills them on the program, only after this he can give you a support.
> Ironically, the situation "zero control, with tax obligations" (i.e. the Norway solution) is now the most likely option for the UK.

I honestly doubt that the UK (fifth largest economy in the world) will not be able to get a significantly better deal than Norway.

Just look at how many exceptions and special conditions they previously received from EU treaties.
> Not quite. For the US federal government, you get to vote for 2 senators, a number of congressmen, and the president.

Senators used to be picked by the state congress and presidents are elected via the electoral college, not the popular vote, so when the US was founded and for much of its history, the people's voice was solely from the house of representatives which was the original intention of the founders. Like the US, the EU will evolve, but like the original US, the EU members are elected by the people's representatives, which is hardly no control or will of the people.
I really don't like Trump (yeah, I'm bitter), but "the outpouring of hatred coming from Trump and Trump supporters" is really not the case. There are a lot more supporters getting their butts kicked than doing the kicking (still happens). It just isn't reported like that. Its amazing to watch twitter (don't use the hash tags, they don't seem to show) and see what people say.
I have used Tor extensively in many situations and across many organizations and simply using it never "caused IDS and firewall alerts". Can you give examples?

What do you mean by "not particularly resilient", compared to other remote management solutions? Tor is very good at handling temporarily broken connections, change of networks etc. -- much better than many other solutions like openVPN.

Addresses of onion services in the current design can be discovered, true. Again, this is not different from many other remote management solutions. You can (and should in this scenario) use authenticated onion services, which means that unless you know a secret you cannot access any service behind an onion. See "HidServAuth" in the Tor manual.

"The Tor network is already over capacity" -- what makes you think that? Here's a graph roughly comparing available vs. used bandwidth: https://metrics.torproject.org/bandwidth.html
Casual sex doesn't require that one be promiscuous, it's certainly possible to have repeated casual sex with a close friend with whom you have no romantic attraction.

And even virginity can be a gray area, I once dated a virgin who was willing (and eager) to do pretty much anything except vaginal intercourse. So she could still have casual (non-intercourse) sex without giving up her virginity.
With the exception of the non-Retina MacBook Pro (which is due to be discontinued any day now), none of Apple's computers have FireWire anymore.

Even when they did, enabling a firmware password disabled FireWire DMA, even after boot. (And I'm not sure it was ever active during preboot.)
Yeah, most titles I just brainstormed still suck in some way. Yours is technically true but only locally. Perhaps add something like you just said to the opening paragraph. That reduces confusion on what non-recursive means along with saving reader any wasted time if they were seeking something else.

Schengen just means that there is no border control at the border of other Schengen countries. People from other EU countries can still enter and live in non Schengen countries, they just have to show a passport. That is not really control of your own border.

If 5 million people decide to move from Finland to Ireland in the next month there's nothing anyone in either country can do to stop them. One is schengen country one is not. Both are in the EU.
Drug consumption is definitely wrong. Poor people can't afford drugs. People on welfare in states that require drug testing of welfare recipients have much lower rates of drug use than the population at large. http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2015/02/26/3624447/tanf-dru...
Or even when the representation is something humans can't see. Hence the word "imagination".
It's no contradiction - it comes from understanding the dynamics of the situation. It's a prisoner dilemma-like case. Repairing income equality requires cooperation of a lot of people - who are otherwise competing with each other. At any point during that cooperation, it is in each participant's short-term interest to screw the whole thing and go exploit workers right now.

Every business owner may truly care about thriving, growing economy. Hell, they could all be nice people who are unhappy about exploiting their workforce. But any ability for cooperation drops rapidly as competitive tensions increase. So yes, without external guiding force, them choosing what's best for all longer-term would literally be a miracle.

You didn't. You voted for Cameron, and he nominated Lord Hill. I suggest you take it up with Westminster if you wanted to vote directly:

Aww. You were still wrong though, and were attacking the first commenter that pointed this out to you.

Care to expand on this?

If the UK wants to keep access to the EU single market (the EEA, European Economic Area), it can still do so through membership of the EFTA (European Free Trade Area). Membership of the EFTA requires a membership fee, likely less than the EU "tax". But it also means that the UK is no longer in a position to influence EU product regulations directly.

The first links I could find, they look quite comprehensive but I can't really judge their contents:

The primary problem for the UK is that free movement of people is a nonconditional part of the single market treaty, which seems to be the very idea that was the focal point of the leave campaign. So it's not a certainty that this deal will fly in the UK. Switzerland, for example, does not partake in the EEA but still has to abide by the Free Movement clause:

The app knows the number of whatever phone it's installed on, it also knows all of the phone's contacts, and much more. The author agreed to share this information when he installed the Facebook app.

Perhaps the wrong number was an error on Facebook's part, perhaps it's something sinister, perhaps the author is just confused. We don't know, because the author of this article lacks a basic understanding of how the app, and Facebook, works. He didn't test his hypothesis, or even read the TOS, he just posted an article full of unfounded speculation. Again, if I were a betting man, I'd put my money on user error.

I'm not defending Facebook, they're horrible. I just think this article is garbage. Yes, that's harsh, but bad journalism has a much bigger impact on the world than my dumb comments.
