I think that's just kind of impractical. There are slavery and civil rights exhibits in American history museums, but the full topic is just too expansive for a couple exhibits. It's the same concept of having a Thomas Jefferson museum, or a suffragette movement museum, or any individual topic.
Aww, crap.

We (DARPA, BNN, et al) built this resilient network which interprets firewalls as outages and routes around them. We build this cheap-to-publish network where anybody can get a broad audience.

And now we have to deal with cybercriminals and cyberbullshitters. Good networks have interesting consequences.

Great timing for this post! I'm an unabashed Fuji fan and have been scouring the used market for a new lens or two. It really is incredible what Fuji has managed to do in a couple years with building out their X Mount Lens series. I have yet to find a single one that has garnered even remotely negative reviews (other than a few isolated reviews). The fact that they are still pushing such high quality products on a very fast timeline is testament to the people they have working for them.

I can still remember an old conference when Microsoft bragged that running windows-only allowed them to remove 20-30% of the Sybase code base as they didn't need the cross-platform cruft.

"(the democracy can be fixed through perfect information)"

That's actually false and it's an impression being carried out by the media. When interacting with the police, you are more like to to be shot if you are white than if you are black.

Thing is though, "polish" and "irish" correspond to, clearly, the country's history only. "Black" refers to literally anything about black people, which is a totally different idea.

The primary backbone of Azure is an OS known as "Red Dog OS". It's based off of Windows, with much of the core kernel tailored by Dave Cutler.

When you're running Linux on Azure, it's via Hyper-V or rather the Azure flavored form of it. Windows is very much the core of Azure.

Azure Cloud Switch does use Linux - on metal I believe so no virtualization.

The "Democrats" didn't "steal" the nomination from Bernie Sanders. Bernie Sanders got crushed in the Democratic primaries, by a margin almost ten times that of what Obama achieved over Hillary Clinton in 2008. Even if leaked emails had shown material support for Clinton over Sanders, let alone before the nomination had become a foregone conclusion, there's nothing the DNC could do to explain the extent to which Sanders lost. He lost decisively, both by the same pledged delegate count margin Obama achieved and for which his team was praised as delegate counting geniuses, and by a massive gulf in the popular vote.
Generally a good approach to take with something like VS.
He's not even a top 20 approver. Greg KH takes those honors, Andrew Morton is number 3, and I forget the rest. The list comes out annually from the Linux Foundation. (Sorry, no link.) The foundation requires an email address and credentials before providing access to the pdf.

During the merge window, Linus takes in most of changes for the next kernel release. All of which have been approved by someone else. With each RC release, the lieutenants still approve most of the new changes. It's a matter of when a crucial fix is needed for Linus's mainline kernel, then he'll accept a commit directly.
As a .NET dev, I'm happy to see this:

"a new way of view, edit, and debug any code without projects and solutions"

Seems silly, but this solves a long time gripe w/ VS.

It is just as illegal to drive distracted by a satnav as it is to drive distracted by an iphone in the UK. If you're holding it in your hand or looking away from the road to use it, then it is illegal.

Even if you aren't holding it in your hand of looking away from the road, but are significantly distracted, you can be prosecuted under the "Driving without due care attention" law as you state.
>if there was enough of an historical presence of white people in that place to support it.

Who has the authority to establish that threshold? Seems quite arbitrary and problematic. White History Museum in South Africa? What about Zambia? DRC? All have a white historical presence, and in places like Zimbabwe, an argument could be made that the culture has suffered a certain persecution (I am not taking a side on this argument here).

I'm not sure capitalism deserves the entire blame - some of it is just human nature (it's harder to care about something that happens in a distant location or time).

The question is what can we do about it? How do we rebuild public trust in the institutions (science and education) that should guide the country in the right path even if the people are asleep at the wheel? Trust in experts is at an all time low. Fact checking appears to have failed = "The fact checkers are biased!". And people are retreating into their media bubbles.

I often see the "Pass it on" billboards (http://www.values.com/inspirational-sayings-billboards) - perhaps we need something for science and education? ("Clean air regulations save x lives a year in your community", "Every $1 spent on education saves $x on welfare down the road". I hate billboards but at least they would break through the media bubble many of us live in.
Isn't this better? I know at my company we'd rather a person unsubscribe rather than delete without reading or god-forbid mark it as spam. Saves us money.
At that point the measures taken by IT/helpdesk shouldn't allow for a random person to make changes to the computer security measures.

Scan your badge to helpdesk or contact local IT to do it for you. Proof of identity is required.

Social networking is another thing itself which should be guarded against in any environment, simply suggesting all you have to do is make a helpdesk ticket requires your access already be breached to be done electronically or poor protocols in IT.

Perhaps, but it does suggest they had influence to make the authors not publish if the results didn't go there way. There's so many ways to distort information.

I'm not saying this study is bad, but studies paid for by corporations for their own gains should be the last we see running through news headlines. But of course, that is partly the effect they'd want from them...
you forget given all the race mixing done during the period of slavery, there were plenty of people from the beginning of slavery that really just did these things because it was part of culture. Many many african americans have european blood in them. And many of them are descendents of people who were in loving yet secretive relationships.

It is undeniable that some slave-owners owned slaves in order to keep them as workers, and they weren't necessarily "mistreated" more like they were safer as slaves and couldn't be released anyway.

I understand, but things can get thorny.

Does keeping a population uneducated lead to happier people?

Or, is there an optimized ratio of educated vs uneducated that leads to better population stability? Yes, ok, do we enforce that?

That said, I lean more towards technocratic solutions [that is solutions and policies driven by data, even if data can shift over time] over gut-feeling or popular solutions.

I completely disagree. Most people buying Samsung phones are buying "Galaxy" not "Android". If Samsung can attract the app developers, people will come with.

Tizen also already can run Android apps, and if they add .NET support, could probably run UWP apps potentially as well. Many of us have left Android or are looking to leave Android, and an open source competitor with wide application support from a good hardware manufacturer would be a compelling reason to jump. Personally I carry an old Windows Phone to escape the Google monopoly, but obviously for many moving to a closed platform is less ideal.

I don't believe in a conscious conspiracy within Facebook to defraud advertisers.

My concern with this approach is that it seems it will only keep old resentments alive, as opposed to celebrating their culture. If every nation, race, and culture in the world held on to every atrocity committed against them, the planet would be covered in perpetual war...
Oh, no, I don't feel oppressed. I am pointing out the ironic nature of a museum, and a general culture, that has the mindset of trying to "account" for past racism with treating one race differently to another, far since the effects of the past have dwindled to nothing but natural human impulses.
What? Seems like a smaller government would be that much cheaper to buy off.
UWP was introduced in Windows (Phone) 10. Prior to that, apps could share backend code between Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8, but the UI had to be developed separately for each.

The Windows Phone 8 to 10 transition lost a lot of people, myself being one of them. There are very few Windows Phone 10 handsets being produced, especially if you are looking for "flagship" quality.
I think part of the problem with IoT firmware updates is that so many companies are rushing to get v1.0 of their project out the door that it's very difficult to even think of v1.1 or higher. Agile development and Lean Business practices, as practiced by many organizations, can often encourage this short-sighted behavior. So updating gets punted on because it's _technically_ not necessary for the first version, and it's definitely not one of the "cool" core features you get to put on the glossy marketing website for the device.

Has the NSA ever offered evidence for these allegations? The WSJ article linked says "this action originated from servers operated by a Russian company". That's rather weak evidence to offer up.

Further, why is there no backlash against the DNC or the government themselves for failing to secure their systems.

Better support for mixed managed/native code for one. There's P/Invoke, and .NET's byte code includes instructions for low level pointer manipulation (which C# exposes).

You could even compile C/C++ to CIL and obviate the need for some architecture specific binaries.
Familiarity with teammates may factor into that as well, partially from having unspoken frames of reference to infer from.

It is unmistakable how much the difficulty level ramps up when you're paired with those of an unlike-nature to you. Sometimes that level of abstraction is taken way outside of generic context clues.

This is the thing that has me utterly scared. I've got young daughters who may potentially live to 2100 and the state of the world in the years leading up that point has me incredibly worried. I wish I was thinking more positively about their future rather than wondering where will be the best place to grow food given climate change, how will they protect themselves, or where is the best place to shelter in my house if a nuke hits the local city.

To paraphrase a 70 year old man I talked to "I'm glad I have been alive in the time period I have", and that was before Trump and everything that stands for too.
It's also exceptionally not explained, since after a total lack or real arguments and coherence it always resorts to name calling to the ones asking these questions.
I think your examples are a bit hyper-bolic.

First, anti-innovation and anti-technology are two different things. Your parent seems to be referring to innovation in the tech innovation sense.

Second, opposing specific companies that market themselves as the epitome of innovation (Uber, AirBnB) is not the same as being genuinely anti-innovation. It's possible to oppose specific (esp. business model!!!) innovations without adopting an anti-innovation or anti-technology mindset.

I don't see anything particularly worrying about people opposing specific innovations -- especially innovations tied more to business innovation than technology innovation (e.g., human Ubers and AirBnB's). Municipalities opposed to sharing economy apps aren't blinding following some unsubstantiated populist sentiment. They typically have a different set of priorities and assessments, but it's not generally accurate to characterize those concerns as luddism.

Anti-technology is much scarier than and very different from opposition to "sharing economy" apps. Conflating to two cheapens the meaning of anti-technology and makes it harder to oppose true luddism.
Why would someone down vote an opinion that they are okay with Java? It added to the conversation. Personally I prefer C# and Swift to Java but others idea are just as valid.
That's all well and good, but the scandal part of it that captured the public's interest was certainly because of the blowjob/where'd the cigar go aspect of it. And I wasn't even referencing Clinton in particular--I'd put things like Anthony Weiner's sexts and Larry Craig's foot tapping in the same category. In the sense, they're on the trivial side of things and mostly get the public attention because of prurience, not salience for good governance.
When would it have been alright for the FBI to release the update? If they waited until after the election, the other side would accuse them of covering it up—appropriately so.
I use a 2014 rMBP. I need to keep Virtual desktop client running all through the day, Outlook for corporate email, and Safari for everything web-based. I can go though 70% of my day without needing to plug in. I really really really wish Apple add little more capacity so I don't need to be anxious about spending a work day on the move.
I believe there is a proof of concept evil USB device that looks like a USB key, but actually emulates a keyboard and enters all sorts of damaging keystrokes when plugged in. So allowing keyboards is dangerous anyway (although having the screen locked should help).

This is the reason why keyboard/mouse connectors should look different to USB connectors, so we can tell the difference.

Am I allowed to say that in itself is an overused technique of shutting down debate?

I think a White History Museum in Africa would be fine, but it would be about the history of white people specifically in Africa, which is not very pleasant. It would be mostly imperialism, slave trade, apartheid, etc.

The black history museum is not supposed to represent the "parent country" it's supposed to represent black people in America. A white history museum would do the same.
If they were engaging in abuse, I agree that it's hypocritical of them to complain. From the article however it is not clear if they were abusing people or just voicing right wing ideas, which as far as I know, is not forbidden by any TOS:

Sure, but there's way more distance between Ctrl and PgUp then Ctrl+Tab (I'm taking a classic desktop keyboard in the account now). There are quite some more compact models where PgUp/Down are between the NumLock and - on the right side with the Numpad.

Not to mention you'd need to set the hand from one end of the keyboard to the middle, just to press something you'd otherwise move 1 key.

As I said, it's dumb.
