I didn't cite any numbers. However, I do think Linux, VxWorks, and QNX are all significantly more popular than BSD.

As phkahler mentioned there are billions of Android devices running Linux, and that's just to start. Chromebooks are also very popular (outselling MacBooks in recent quarters). Linux is very popular on millions upon millions of servers. Many home routers and/or access points are running Linux (although VxWorks is also popular here). Many other embedded devices in millions of homes are running Linux -- every Roku, Chromecast, Kindle, Nest thermostat, and many more things all add up. I've even put Linux on the firmware of network interface cards (NICs) before. If we are willing to count uClinux, I've put into planes as well. Even not counting uClinux, I've still put it into planes as part of a air-to-ground communication system.

I'm not convinced BSD has nearly the installation count and your argument has not convinced me that it has.
I believe the person you are replying to did not literally mean it's a joke. "Tongue-in-cheek".

If they announced upgrades and that the new car was shipping in 2 months you would be at whatever current build was being deliver (sans any cosmetic changes they may request your input on). If the manufacturing lines are updated to add features as a baseline after you order but before your build, you will get whatever they are.

Satire is not fair use. Parody is fair use. There is a difference, and Goldiblox vs. The Beastie Boys was a very clear situation where the former thought Satire was protected and the outlook in the court system was not favorable to them.
Nice one! Should be fixed now. Thanks :)

There's lots of solutions:
1) forcibly sterilize poorer people so they can't have children
2) ban poorer people from raising their own children, and instead seize them and have the State raise them in institutions (like in "Brave New World")
3) boarding schools for poorer children (you mentioned this)
4) send poorer people to re-education camps to teach the "positive" behaviors and values

Obviously, these solutions are not very palatable to most people. If you want solutions which aren't severe human-rights violations, there really aren't any, except subtle, long-term things such as maybe taking control of popular media and using it to slowly indoctrinate the population into "desirable" behaviors and values.
Google vs. Apple – The Smartphone Race Is Over, and a New One Begins…
Sorry, but... yes, that's a great example of the sort of rationalization one is tempted to do.

Here's the business reality: On the balance sheet for the abuse team, there are only expenditures. The benefits don't show up on the balance sheet there; there are diffuse, spread throughout the company, and often future-biased (the abuse shut down today may prevent people from leaving next month). It's the same for IT at a bank, customer support staff anywhere, or accountants. No matter how important it may be, it's not revenue generating. And that makes a huge difference in future career prospects. Things that may impact revenue in a year is not important to a company becoming concerned it may not make it to that year.

(In Twitter's case, while there will probably be a business entity called Twitter in a year, the thing that might not make it to next year is Twitter-the-unicorn-dream. Going into maintenance mode or being acquired at unfavorable terms, while better than going out of business entirely, is still a failure for the Twitter of today.)

I say this as someone who is not really directly revenue generating myself; I'm moving ever more into risk mitigation and management. But the company I'm doing it in is not currently contracting and laying off, but growing. I've got my eye on my own situation, too.
I'm not sure I see the "good getting" changing any time soon. If anything I believe surveillance capitalism is here to stay and unfortunately increase.
Which does not matter.

Which matters more is, that NXP and Freescale (now part of NXP) are strong in automotive, which is not so much niche you think it is. While there is a smartphone comparable processor in the head unit, it is surrounded by about 40 to 60 Cortex-Mx processors and comparable.

Then think about the growing market of IoT, which also benefit from those automotive Coretx-Mx processors and their cheap prices.

The smartphone market is done and settled, with small improvements. But the IoT market is the one which will be disruptive.
Yik Yak dropped anonymity because they had a problem with harassment on the platform. I'm not sure how Zone is going to be any different.

I think the "Just working" argument is too subjective.

Ubuntu just works, unless you have some specific hardware that is too obscure or new. Then one day someone starts expecting you use files from some obscure source and you need an application that isn't on Linux.

Windows just works, until you need to re-install because of virus and need to track down drivers. Then you realize the version of office was some weird OEM license and need to figure something else out.

I am sure Mac OS X has problems too but I haven't used it much.

All these things are so advanced that they just work... until they don't for you.
Do the office doors lock? I have a solution that probably won't get you in trouble with management for stirring the pot: stay late and sabotage her phone. Make sure to wear gloves, and do it in a way that's really hard to detect, such as opening it up and carefully cutting a trace on the circuit board which renders it inoperable, but is impossible to spot without someone else carefully examining the board for defects.

Ask HN: How to keep track of all my email subscriptions?
Hi HN,

I'm subscribed to a dozen of blogs, and they send me on average one email per week each. I love reading this content, but it's starting to clutter my inbox.

Do you know any app/website that let you manage all of these subscriptions? Being able to see these emails without actually getting into my inbox would be awesome.

Thanks!
This sounds like fun. I'll have to see if my kiddos will cooperate with going to bed on time this weekend.

I agree for the most part. But on the Mac keyboard the Escape key is tiny and way off the home row. C-[ is awkward and there's only a small control key in the left side so I miss it all the time (my pinkies aren't good at hitting the right key for some reason.)

I've remapped Caps Lock to Control and that's working out better.

Make America Boom Again: How to Bring Back Supersonic Transport
I imagine "abuse" is whatever the moderator in question defines it to be.

Look at Twitter's history of curbing "abuse" and you'll find that this nebulous definition gives plenty of room for their subconscious and conscious biases to take over--a disproportionate number of the targets of censorship on Twitter are of a certain political influence.

So I see no nobility in the original commenter's goal. Taking away the voice of people you don't agree with is not noble, and censorship of any kind is unfortunate.
Union City, NJ is 4 miles from Times Square (Apple Maps). People live there are far beyond and commute to NYC every day for work. While technically another state, it is much closer to Times Square than much, if not most, of NYC.

Most New Yorkers could care less that people are using AirBnB to save money. We do care about transients being in our apartment buildings.

People who are visitors to any city or country should show respect to those who live there.

It's not necessarily just ads. There's content. Aston Kutcher in a recent podcast talked about "vertical video" meaning people develop content specifically aimed at mobile users watching on a portrait phone. Snapchat is primed to deliver that content. Saying that there are not enough ads is like saying YouTube was a terrible buy for Google.

This is a site I built for myself, friends, and the public; however, I haven't promoted it much... Trying to get more users, but it's been under construction for a while. Nothing fancy, but I wanted to build something that was free for users.

Also to the poster: side projects are great, showing off your pet project is awesome, but I can say that a lot of employers don't even care to look at them... I cannot speak for ALL employers, but a lot of the time interviewers and employers don't have the time to poke around in your side projects - they're very busy too. It's kind of a shame
It should have been done as part of the ACA. Remove the tax incentive and encourage all those people to go to the exchanges. It would probably have to have been done in a staged manner.

After that, eliminate Medicaid in favor of fully priced exchange subsidies (I say "fully priced" because as far as I can tell, much of the funding for Medicaid comes from jacking up prices that other people pay for care, creating a tax that gets hidden in insurance premiums and deductibles).

Instead the ACA placed more requirements on employers and expanded Medicaid.
The EFF has trouble with understanding Copyright on a regular basis. No, really, I've been following them long enough (partially in agreement, partially out of balance against the content industry) to know they take a very extreme position - an outlier, almost a FUD type position - and work backwards to show how whatever instance they decry at the time is a terrible wrong, an indicator of the downfall of society, blah blah blah. They're habitual at this and it's pretty annoying.

Commentary is protected speech. Parody is protected speech. Satire is not protected speech.

As noted by delinka, if Samsung has a private agreement with YouTube regarding sending notices to take down infringing material that is outside of the "official" DMCA channels (ex ContentID), then that's bothersome but not necessarily a point of legal recourse. So, if Samsung points to a video and tells YouTube that the video violates YouTube's ToS based on point X or Y, then YouTube and Samsung can effectively side-step DMCA. That leaves the EFF with a handful of air in this case.

The EFF has a worthwhile mission, but time and again I think they get a bit hysterical and disingenuous, which, to me, only backfires in the long run. YMMV.
This is the typical narrow minded, short sighted views expressed by the below average citizen of the world.

Show HN: Linux Voice magazine shuts down, merges
Email just received by Linux Voice subscribers:

------------

Hello Linux Voice Subscriber,

Let us start by thanking you for subscribing to Linux Voice and being part of something awesome. Our magazine had a fantastic launch thanks to so many of you helping with the crowdfunding, and we will be forever grateful for the support we've received from our readers.

I got certified for AutoCAD because I was bored doing programming all day, I could already do 3D modelling but couldn't prove it to anyone because it was just a hobby thing.

From that I got jobs doing CAD, first at an electrical place and then acoustic insulation.

I qualified as a welder because I was doing CAD of metal enclosures and wanted to understand welding enough to talk to our proper welders.

Then because I was doing CAD, I designed and built my own furniture - I had used the Ana White website as a place to find practice things to build in Autodesk Inventor during my certification [1]

I ride bicycles so wanted to be able to build my own wheels - so that was handy.

It really is just the choice between "I'll go home and watch tv until I go to bed" and "I'll go to my local technical college one night a week and do a course in something"
Ok, I should have added "regularly" respond, that would have been clearer.

What I'm getting at is: If I adjust SEO targets, mailing lists, app or interface code say monthly to keep things moving along, it really isn't passive.

I'm not thinking about annual taxes, or one time problems (DNS issues, certs, payment provider changed) etc.

But routine, regular work absolutely includes any regular updates to website code, transaction providers (add/remove vendors etc.), SEO techniques, etc. If you are tweaking the business weekly/or monthly it is just silly to call it passive.

How to Get Fired Using Switch Statements and Statement Expressions

If you love open offices so much, then quit your job and go find one with an open office. Almost all companies these days have open offices, so it shouldn't be hard for you to find such a job. Then you can clear out your office and job for someone who really appreciates it.

If you were whining about not having an office (like so many on here, including myself), I would not respond this way, because for them, it's not easy to find a job that gives them an actual office: these positions are extremely rare for developers these days. I haven't even seen such a place except for almost 20 years ago.

For you to complain about your office when almost everyone is miserably suffering in open-plan arrangements, and it'd be trivial for you to find such a job yourself, is a ridiculous level of gall.
I've done them all, so I can state with confidence you are objectively wrong about the subjectivity of the situation.

Issue 32 was the last issue of Linux Voice as a stand-alone magazine, as we have joined Linux Magazine. This newly merged magazine will bring the best bits of Linux Voice and Linux Magazine together into a single volume. All four of us Linux Voice founders will still be here contributing to the newly merged magazine - you'll find us in the aptly named Linux Voice section. We'll continue to write about the things that excite us in the world of open source software. Now that we're free of the day-to-day work of running the business, we can focus again on great technology. As well as us four, we're working with Linux Magazine to keep bringing great content to the Linux using world, and this includes former contributors to Linux Voice.

All subscriptions will be transferred over to the newly merged magazine. If you're a print subscriber there's no need to do anything and a print copy of the magazine will arrive with you shortly. If you're a digital subscriber, you'll get a separate email with details of how to access the new magazine. Copies of the magazine will also be on sale in newsagents starting 29th October.

We're sure you've got a lot of questions, and we've tried to anticipate the most common ones below:

Q. Linux Voice pledged to share 50% of its profits with free software projects. Will you be doing this in 2016?

A. Despite our best efforts to raise money for open source projects (and ourselves), we've failed to make a profit since the first year. What money there is left in the company Linux Voice Ltd will be used to pay off outstanding bills, so unfortunately, there won't be any left to split with projects.

Q. Will you continue the podcast?

A. The podcast will continue as normal. We'll upload our audio ramblings to www.linuxvoice.com roughly every two weeks.

Q. Will Linux Voice still be released under a creative commons license?

A. All issues of Linux Voice will still flow through to being released under a Creative Commons CC-BY-SA license nine months after they were published. Linux Magazine releases their issues for free (as in beer) a year after they're published. You can browse past issues and view articles online at http://www.linux-magazine.com/Issues.

Q. Linux Magazine has subscription options with and without a DVD. Which one will I get?

A. Linux Magazine offers two versions of the magazine, with or without the DVD, known as 'DVD' or 'Standard' subscriptions. As Linux Voice did not regularly include a DVD, your subscription will continue as Standard. However, a free DVD has been included with the first issue so you can see what they are typically like.

If you have any questions about your subscription, please see http://www.linuxvoice.com/merge - and if you have further questions, please contact subscriptions@linuxvoice.com.
