Personally, I'm glad Twitter is cleaning up these jerks but they seem to be focusing on the most visible aspects of Twitter and ignoring the rest. It's easy to nuke an account like Milo's but it's another to nuke an account of a small time user (200 followers and the like). It's these folks who pose the biggest problem IMO because they're the ones most likely to act in a manner that is abusive on the site (barring Milo himself who seems to think he's above the ToS of any site).

So, it's basically a whitewashing act to ensure they look like they're solving a problem of abuse but in practice they ignore the 99% of abuse that actually goes on. They think if they hit that 1% the 99% will get in line. But I think the Twitter devs don't understand that they don't care. It's not as if their lives depend on Twitter. They'll just laugh and make alt accounts to continue the cycle over and over. Twitter needs a complete redesign for the abuse to be minimized or otherwise eliminated. And it wouldn't even need banning involved at least in my opinion. In some ways, I think Google had it right with G+ because it was easier to filter out people on circles than anything else. Too bad Twitter is so popular.
Generally systemd manages enabled/disabled services through symlinks in /etc/ (/etc/systemd/system/ on my Fedora 24, for instance), which you can add/delete in the shell if you want to. It's admittedly not plain-text, but manipulation-wise it's about equal.

Got it. Thanks for coming out and stating that it is your cultural norm to look at Russia and Russians through the prism of your own enduring propaganda and intellectualized cliches.
> That's why I left Russia and I hope forever!

> Heck, the majority of Russians doesn't even bother to learn elementary English!

> Stupid people buy everything Kremlin tells them, including version about protecting Russian citizens from US NSA.

> thanks to backward masses

> P.S. I hope to get rid of toxic Russian citizenship in the future.

I think the only thing toxic here is how you write and view other humans and your fellow countrymen as inferior beings.

I have no Russian heritage, but I lived in rural cities around Russia for a year and was there another 6 months in Moscow after Russia invaded Ukraine. Russia is definitely much different from the Western world and there are a lot of things I disagree with, but I would never call anyone stupid for supporting Putin or the government.

Calling folks stupid and backward for supporting stuff you dont support is just you thinking you are better than everyone else when you are not. Don't be a dick because some people are less fortunate than you and didn't have an opportunity to learn critical thinking. Even people much smarter than you might support what you don't like. The world isn't black and white.

You are in for a rude awakening if you believe that other governments don't lie to their citizens. Whatever government you currently support and get your new citizenship from, you are a pawn and part of the "backward masses" for whatever fucked up scheme that government is cooking up to screw you over.
To be fair, waving your arms around, or hitting targets 10x smaller than the finger you're using to hit them is no more accessible than twisting a knob or moving a slider.

Perhaps the fear of seeing the Chinese companies "getting there first" with self-driving cars will be an impetus for US regulators to create policies that are encourage the development of self-driving cars.

Government is way ahead of you there. The California DMV has been licensing self-driving cars for on-highway test for several years now. 19 companies have signed up. The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration had their meetings on regulations for self-driving cars last year and this year, and the proposed regulations are out. Basic rule: the manufacturer is responsible for all accidents of self-driving cars. Google and the big car companies are on board with this. Tesla has grudgingly accepted it.

I think you are mixing up 'Patent application' vs 'Patent'. Anyone can submit a patent application. Whether it makes it through and is granted is a different story. Also the title and abstract of the invention don't really mean much. The claims are what defines the patentable invention.
You are still infringing, but nobody is going to come after you unless you are doing commercial damage.
I guess it's two distinct issues to me; the tech stack that is hobbling along, and the people that control access to it (ICANN, gTLD registries et al I guess).

The latter is the really corrupt, broken thing here, and we should be able to swap that out.

This comment is outrageous. Read the "Net Neutrality" section on Tom Wheeler's page. It backs up everything I said.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Wheeler

Straight from Wikipedia:

"In late April 2014, the contours of a document leaked that indicated that the FCC under Wheeler would consider promulgating rules that would violate net neutrality principles by making it easier for companies to pay ISPs (including cable companies and wireless ISPs) to provide faster "lanes" for delivering their content to Internet users. These plans received substantial backlash from activists, the mainstream press, and some other FCC commissioners. In May 2014, over 100 Internet companies — including Google, Microsoft, eBay, and Facebook — signed a letter to Wheeler voicing their disagreement with his plans, saying they represented a "grave threat to the Internet". As of May 15, 2014, the "Internet fast lane" rules passed with a 3–2 vote. They were then open to public discussion that ended July 2014."

I wanted a domain for a tax industry blog. I really wanted digital.tax, but it was held back as premium. Then, one day I was browsing 123reg and noticed it was available. I quickly looked at other registrars and it was still labeled as either taken or reserved. I placed my order and got the domain! I'm not sure how common these discrepancies are but I guess they do occur, so perhaps all hope is not lost.
I drove manual for a long time, but after switching to automatics, I got quite good at left-foot braking without much trouble. You can get a slight advantage on reaction time doing it. The trick, besides not instinctively hitting the brake way too hard, is never to ride the brake pedal. You definitely need to build up your lifting muscles in your left ankle if you want to hold it poised one inch above the brake in stop-and-go traffic for absolutely fastest response time.

There are no government certs in Russian citizens' browsers at the moment. Furthermore, government mandated hardware, that ISPs have to install, is not installed in a configuration permitting any kind of MITM, it only sees mirrored traffic.

Cracks me up this is presented like "Obama, come on, we know you're a good guy. Pleassssse".

Give me a break... Barack loves extrajudicial powers.

This is the problem with large, powerful governments. Sooner or later, the other guys will have the power.

If you voted for Obama (ESPECIALLY twice) and you're worried about Trump having power over the NSA, I am laughing at you.
Connman was developed by Intel, there's absolutely no Gnomeness involved at all. I think you are correct that Network Manager was first, but it took a long time to stabilise and came with far too many dependencies, including X11 and a full Gnome install!

It works well, but unsurprisingly, they screwed up privacy once again by sending data to some company (https://www.adjust.com) in the background: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/11/17/mozilla_launches_pri...

I think the core of the argument about linux is not about having a well designed system that works well, but that it should be an american technology that dominates, and not anything that is managed by a non american, especially if he is against corporatism and tend to do things in a way that can be perceived as arrogant.

So basically, linux will not prosper as long as it is not in the interest of the US.
Disagree with 5.

You just need to know a target not be one. And by know that means ever have sent an email. The plumber you contacted last year for example. When he gets investigated you are on the list.

Hmmn, I'm betting that a user interface that requires 'gripping' might possibly not require someone with the grip strength of a gorilla. And your self-serving invocation of the disabled fails to notice that most gestural or touchscreen interfaces are atrocious for the elderly or disabled, and have a tendency to misconstrue 'tremor' as intentional movement.

Generally if you want to design for the disabled, you probably are designing for the disabled, rather than using them as fodder for an argument.
$10/lb seems insane to me. I routinely pay $2/lb for mine at Costco ($20 for a 10lb bag of frozen boneless/skinless chicken breast).
They can have a filibuster blocking that vote. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appointment_and_confirmation.... " A simple majority vote is required to confirm or to reject a nominee, but a successful filibuster threat could add the requirement of a supermajority of 60 needed in favor of cloture, which would allow debate to end and force a final vote on confirmation."
Not sure why you're being buried when you're correct.

The main issue is that the efficiency curve of a electric motor is fairly flat once it gets >60% load[0]. There is a small hump typically around 60-80% output that is most efficient, but its only a few percent at best, so not worth the cost of a high torque transmission as adding a few extra batteries to cover the loss at slow speeds is much cheaper.

When cost is no object (eg: racing) you see transmissions so they can get peak power for longer.

Even in a application that I was involved in where power was ~$200/Watt, fixed gearing was chosen as the extra weight of the transmission made the whole system less efficient than what was gained by the transmission.

Why are people in UK tolerating this?
In Europe, during the 18th and 19th century, the kings and emperors decided that they wanted grand esplanades and straight roads so they could have nice parades, preferably between some nice castles or parks. So they just demolished everything that was in the way. But hey! Marching in cool hats!

I am not sure about U.S, but my guess is that the cities started to grow a little bit later, the people probably looked at the European kings cool-looking roads, and probably decided that they could do even better and just went for an even cooler looking grid instead just some avenues scattered here and there!
Haha, I agree re: under 25. I started cycling when I was 19; a motorcycle is a very intoxicating thing for a 19-year-old brain. I'm glad I survived. No accidents, but definitely some close calls.
So unless I am misunderstanding the article, the prices on the Georgia Dock are based on the prices reported by the chicken companies. The prices on the Georgia Dock are then used by the grocery stores to negotiate their prices with the chicken companies.

Would not those negotiated prices then affect the prices that get reported to the Georgia Dock? Am I missing something that prevents this from becoming a circular dependency?

>Corbyn has done nothing whatsoever to oppose the Snooper's Charter or Brexit //

Corbyn campaigned on the ground against Brexit all over Britain. It largely wasn't reported on in the national press though. Actually getting out amongst the people is seemingly his thing.

Corbyn appears to be being a socialist, shock!, and not dictating the position people should take but suggesting a position and fronting the position of the members of his party.

My take on Corbyn is if you want him to act then get the Party to support it.
The US would be in great position to take the lead here. For example, I don't understand why not every house in Southern California is covered with solar panels. Instead Trump's program seems to be to burn as much coal and oil as possible.

Good SMT rework is 60% flux, 20% isopropyl alcohol, 10% magnification and 10% practice. The trick is surface tension - if the surfaces are properly wetted, surface tension pulls the part into alignment as if by magic. Achieving good wetting is as simple as getting the solderable surfaces spotlessly clean and deoxidized, then using copious amounts of flux. If your preparation is good, the parts almost solder themselves.

Fine-pitch BGA rework can be genuinely challenging, but the core skills are remarkably straightforward. A complete novice can rework QFNs and 0603 passives with very little practice if they're taught the correct techniques. I actively prefer working with SMT over through-hole.
That was how I thought, who could really believe these ads are actually personal endorsements, until I read a thread about people being angry about a podcast with ads from 99 designs.

Some people really haven't developed the means to distingish host from ad. I can't really blame them, take the casper ads and the ads for one of those stupidly expensive boxed dinner companies. How many podcasts actually say 'hey we got this stuff we're talking up for free'

Meh, just pisses me off. I don't want podcast umbrellas to die due to what i find to be naive and shady ad practices.

My grandparents have a chrysler 200 with an 8 speed automatic and I hate it. It spends it's entire life searching for the perfect gear because the computer has too many to choose from.

When you're on the highway in cruise I'm sure it selects a ratio that gets the best possible milage, but they live in the country. You need to accelerate through tight turns, pass slower vehicles without hitting oncoming traffic and constantly adjust the throttle and steering on dirt roads based on conditions. Driving in the middle of nowhere is a very active process and it always feels like that car is just in the way.

Just a tiny bit of throttle causes it to downshift 2 or 3 times and rev the nuts out of the engine when all I wanted was just a little more torque. Lifting off just a little to prepare for a tight bend upshifts to engine brake, so once you're halfway through the corner and want power to accelerate through now it has to downshift 3 or 4 times to get the revs back up. It feels like I am constantly at war with the transmission trying to get it into the right gear and then stay there. It's the most indecisive codriver I've ever experienced.

While certainly true that not all cops are bad, my personal experience shows that it's not at all rare, either. Or if they're not "bad", at least they don't behave with the respect and responsibility that should attend the power they wield.

A really significant portion of my "official" interactions with police have been negative. I've listed these here before:

- I watched a friend being roughed up by cops. (not beaten, but physically pushed around) for absolutely no reason.

- I've had evidence of a traffic violation fabricated against me. (full disclosure: I was guilty, but that doesn't excuse lying about evidence)

- I've had police at a traffic stop curse at me and throw my documents. (I understand why he felt this way, but it was due to him making assumptions, starting with a belligerent attitude, and misreading the situation)

- Some older kids were physically bullying me and a friend. We went to a cop for help, and the extent of his aid was to say to us "better watch out, they'll probably hit you again".

Given the limited amount of interaction people normally have with police, the number of times this has happened to me says that I'm either a lightning rod for lousy cops, or the problem is more than just a few isolated bad eggs.
