In the US, they overspend every single year. That is now debit, will Apple be paying a share of this debit at some point? Does Apple pay the interest on this debt? Of course not. Those costs are distributed to all the taxpayers. The cost of governance is X% of the economy. If Apple only pays X% - Y%, then the rest of the taxpayers must make up the difference in this year or down the road. If down the road, the costs are even greater than the savings Apple has received as interest must be paid to service the debit. Thus such a situation is wholly economically inefficient for everyone but Apple no matter how you slice it.

Also understand, these taxes are not for nothing. Without highways Apple can not ship it's product, without a legal system anyone can produce Apple's designs and undercut them.

We can decide what government services make sense to provide but everyone needs to pay their share or the system will fail. Rather violently, if history is any guide.

I guess any security tools and scripts are bound to be used for naughty stuff at some point, but I thought "real" malware writers would put more effort (at least obfuscation) into their products. Keychaindump is a crude hacky PoC, and I honestly didn't expect it to get directly copy-pasted into "serious" malware.
This was the main service I've used for the past 2+ years to deliver individual articles to my Kindle. It worked great and I would've paid good money to keep it. Instapaper has a similar feature, however it was never quite as good as Readability's.

"I see this as a stealth attempt by the Software Conservancy to hijack the direction and tone of kernel development"

I see it as the Software Conservancy spitting some reality into Linus' Cheerios. But then again, I've been forced to replace devices because Qualcomm/Mediatek/Obi/D-Link decided GPL compliance wasn't their cup of tea. So I'm probably biased.
I don't know about that. The only one I've heard of is Jacob Appelbaum, and that was more of an ousting than him leaving.

> that the people I know who smoke pot...

You should re-phrase this as: "the people I know who publicly advertise the fact that they smoke pot".

In my experience, there are a lot of marijuana users who are otherwise extremely normal people (and even sometimes on the exceptional end of normal). But given the legal status of marijuana, an ambitious middle-aged professional with a young family who also smokes a couple times a month is unlikely to publicly advertise the fact.

Because you (presumably) don't smoke, those people are extremely unlikely to confide in you about this particular subject.

I'm not sure exactly what metrics you mean, but content negotiation is absolutely a feature of static web servers, and rendering the pages using a given theme is absolutely a feature of static site generators.

Can anyone up to date on this field tell me if there has there been any scientific studies on trying to rewire the brain using mnemonic techniques for Alzheimer's patients? I have seen some stories on some attempts to do that, but I never could find anything which looked very scientific.

For some context, I read in the book "Peak" by Anders Ericsson (who is credited with the 10000 hour rule) [1] that cab drivers in London who passed the cab exam literally rewired their brains during the process of studying and it could be observed in the brain scans. (But also notes that they unfortunately lost some spatial awareness ability which the average person had)

> 1) what is the main difference between FreeBSD and OpenBSD?

"Security" is the often-stated end goal, but in practice, it boils down to an emphasis on code correctness, maintenance, reliability, portability and sane defaults. Realistically, it's sometimes done at the cost of functionality, but I think it's a smart approach.

This isn't to say that FreeBSD emphasizes incorrect code, just that the OpenBSD team seems to be more inclined to not include (or yank out) code that's unmaintained or is of questionable quality, even if it does useful stuff.

Some of their ideas seems utopic at first (like the insistence of native, instead of cross-compiling), but they turn out to be annoyingly right in the end. My own attitude towards OpenBSD drifted from "what a bunch of loons" back when I was a Linux teenage fan, to "this is how you do computer stuff properly" as I grew up.

> perfectly serve my daily workflow based on StumpWM+Emacs+Firefox

My stack is pretty much similar, except I'm back to WindowMaker (me and tiling WMs had a fight and it didn't end well and we're not speaking anymore).

I don't write much Lisp anymore so I'm not up-to-date on what happened with the OpenBSD ports, but I think all major Common Lisp implementations run well on it (but if you want to run SBCL on 6.0, you'll have to watch out for the mandatory W^X). I don't know if it interests you, I figured you'd want to know if you also hack on StumpWM.

> 2) What is the state of RaspberryPi support in OpenBSD?

Nope.

> 3) Is there some known big issues with video/wifi hardware in OpenBSD?

Basically, if it says nVidia on it, it doesn't work. If it says ATI on it and it's not too bleeding-edge, it works great. I heard good things about Intel GPUs, but I haven't tried it.

> My guess is he secretly wishes he had chosen a different, non-copyleft license.

He always wanted a copyleft license because it enabled kernel development to really take off by enabling him to make use of other people's contributions, and he's always been consistent about that.

I bet that what he really regrets, though, is not requiring copyright assignment for inclusion into mainline, so rogue developers can't just join up with the SFC and sue people against his wishes.

They do the tests to validate that this rocket won't turn into a cruise missile, headed for the nearest residential area. Not an impossible scenario. Lots of energy stored up in one of those rockets.

Just like when we test software, they want to have everything as close to what they would expect on launch day as possible (2 days from now). All the stresses, the structure, etc. That means putting stage 2 and the payload on top of the main rocket before the test starts. They probably did a lot of tests before the payload was on board as well, and those didn't reveal whatever flaw has caused this issue.

Yes, it sucks that the payload was lost but there will have been insurance to cover the loss. No human lives lost, no cruise missile scenario, no out of control fire... this is the best case scenario for a rocket failure.

We all work with Chromebooks, our offices are paperless and we have no meetings = we mostly hack. Come join us!
Per @SpaceX, the issue was not with the rocket itself, but a pad anomaly and the Amos-6 payload was to be Facebook's first-ever satellite.
It's a real bummer, also don't forget that now that SpaceX has had two payload losses in two years will mean that their insurance is very likely to go up.
Testing in production. Tisk tisk.

I'm a mostly self-taught, NON-graduate, 22 year old former CompSci student looking to start a career in software development using everything I've learnt over the past 10 years or so. Solid problem solving skills and a decent understanding of development practices albeit without experience backing it up. I like to contribute to open source every now and then at https://github.com/sambooo.
This solves a tough problem. In a team with lots of sysadmins who need to do patches and tweaks, DBAs who need to do index tuning, and developers who need to do object deployments, it's hard to get everyone to log their changes the same way. Nice job.
I've had one package shipped by DHL to me, ever. The package never arrived, but the driver claimed it did; I even watched as the tracking showed it as "delivered" at a certain time in the morning on a day I was home and was watching for the package. I filed a complaint, and the driver came to me personally with a nasty attitude and left in a snit. I never did get my package, or a refund, or anything.

That was my one and only experience with DHL. I'm glad they no longer operate in the US. I've had countless packages delivered by UPS, FedEx, and USPS, and never had them go missing; my only problems were when drivers want a signature when I'm not home and can't leave it at the door and I end up having to drive to the distribution center to pick it up.

Good riddance, DHL.

It is very cringey though. It's no real indication of how much love went into it, and just comes across as an attempt to stand out and appeal to hipster impulses.
For short runs, any fixed-cost warmup/cooldown periods might dominate - a latency/throughput tradeoff kind of affair. (I am just shooting my mouth off and have no idea whether that's the case here.)

As for how to do it, I'm not sure... but if I were a valued customer of various CPU suppliers, and were famous for the depth of my pockets, I'm sure I'd be able to find somebody to explain it to me ;)
I'm planning to keep the main version free. However, having a premium version with some extra features is also possible.
