LR> I'm declaring here and now to the whole world that Libreboot is no longer
LR> part of the GNU project. I do not believe that the FSF or the GNU project
LR> deserve to exist.

Mistakes are everywhere and are done by everybody. A mistake was done by some people in FSF, the reaction is exaggerated to say the least. Furthermore, it's not clear whether or not the fired person was fired for being a trans. In fact in an email in the thread Stallman says:

The dismissal of the staff person was not because of her gender.
Her gender now is the same as it was when we hired her.
It was not an issue then, and it is not an issue now.

Whatever the case is, even though I know null about the project, I can easily say that Leah Rowe, whoever she might be, is apparently toxic for the project. Hopefully, given that it's free software, the other maintainers can get rid of her.
Stock prices move based on derivatives of derivatives. The stock price increased because investors were expecting them to miss on deliveries by a lot, instead they missed by a little. Even though the miss was bad news, the scale of the miss was good news.
The Algorithm for Real World – A Massive Computational Challenge
Yup, you could AJAX-ily listen to the phish fields
I just bought an RC2014 kit ( http://rc2014.co.uk ), which bears some similarity to what you're talking about. A larger community making cards for that computer would be really cool.
Maybe not at that price point, but I would consider buying one. I normally use 3 screens and I like to travel.

The segment of the population that requires a real GPU to get work done buys desktop replacement laptops and probably always will. Not everyone is a "digital nomad" or whatever. Sometimes you've just got to show a client a few tens of millions of polygons of art/CAD and you want to apply the finishing touches on the plane ride over cause you're way behind.

Though admittedly it's more likely to be a Dell Precision or a BOXX than this monstrosity I think there's more room in this market segment than you might think.
Not disagreeing with your comment, but what do biometrics have to do with this article? I don't think Yubico does anything with biometrics, and these devices definitely don't have any such capability.

Moreover, U2F already is awesome 2FA (better than _BETTER_). Fast and unphishable. Buy a few of these, keep one on your keychain, one on your desk at home, and a backup locked in your safe, and you're all set.

We use the USB-A version of these things extensively at my company, and they're unbelievably convenient.
> Ok, you have a sponsorship model that works because you're probably very famous.

Famous people have a quality network. Are you sure its not rather because "you have a quality network" instead of "you are probably [sic] very famous"?
How obvious is this to the user? This seems like a detail that'd be easily overlooked.
Right, JS isn't going anywhere. But once WASM is able to run everywhere, anybody attempting to make high performance web apps would ideally want to write it in WASM. A lot of what JS does on the web is plenty fast and won't really benefit much from JS being multi-threaded/faster.

Sites using JS to run simple scripts or to fire api calls/etc. will continue to use JS, no reason to use WASM.

Also, I believe WASM is truly compiled code and not JIT ran? I may be wrong...but pretty sure that was the whole point of creating it. Native app performance in the browser... that will take a big bite out of the app stores that take a good cut of revenue and control what can and can not be in the store.

And sure, WASM can also have memory safety problems, especially with C/C++ being the primary languages to target WASM from. But that's also where Rust would shine, making it much more safe when compiled to WASM.
I mean no disrespect, Ben. I am merely pointing out the fact that you bring up the issue of technical debt, for instance, but you don't delve into the root cause of it. Instead, you talk about how enterprises have technical debt vs. digital leaders who don't. However, the root cause of technical debt is not enterprise vs. digital leaders. It exists in both camps, and the reasons for it are largely political. So, how do you address that? How do you convince the owner of a company that creating technical debt to save a week now will almost surly blossom into the loss of months down the road?

Legacy technology is another issue I don't feel you fully addressed. For example, there are many companies that start new projects using legacy technology, or the wrong technology, again for political reasons. I've seen reasoning like "We're a Microsoft shop," and "It's easy to hire Ruby developers," as the main drivers of technology choice, rather than a thoughtful consideration of the requirements of a project, and what technologies are best suited to solve the problem at hand.

I appreciate the time and effort you put in to communicating your ideas, and do not mean to diminish from that at all. I do think if you added a little more meat and citations to your arguments, and got rid of some of the sales-pitching at the end, you could strengthen your article quite a bit though.
>So how should we punish him for lying, polluting the net, wasting bandwidth,etc?

Maybe ;):

I have a rather favorable impression of the company based in their responses to the incidents that you mentioned. They replaced my YK Neo without any hassle after the OpenPGP applet vulnerability was disclosed.
The distinction is automation versus manual process. If you manually reply with bogus information, then your illustration works. When you automate the process, there's no intervention on your part. Ad blocking is fine with me, but when you intentionally click on ads in an automated way, this becomes click fraud. There's a certain level of click fraud that is tolerated by Google, but AdNaseum takes it too far IMO.
All yubikey 4 support 4096 for GPG. If you use pgp auth key and gpg-agent for ssh, this is ok.

The yubikey also supports PIV. There you still can only use 2048.

The US has always been built on the plunder of its nonwhite inhabitants. One can wax poetic about the free market or educated work force but that is the truth. The roman republic didn't fall because of issues with resource extraction or plunder. It fell when a powerful enough demagogue named Ceasar took power and undermined it on a wave of populism. A Nero like dictator (trump) is all we really need to crash and burn into the annals of history.

A new noninvasive test for Down's syndrome will eliminate the small risk of the current test.

This might lead more women to get tested, and abort fetuses that have Down's syndrome. Let's hope so!

If you'd like to love and care for a pet that doesn't have normal human mental capacity, don't create a handicapped human being to be your pet. Get a dog or a parrot. It will appreciate your love, and it will never feel bad for being less capable than normal humans.

A new noninvasive test for Down's syndrome will eliminate the small risk of the current test.

This might lead more women to get tested, and abort fetuses that have Down's syndrome. Let's hope so! According to Wikipedia, Down's syndrome is a combination of many kinds of misfortune. When children with Down's syndrome are born, they are human beings and I wish the best for them. They deserve the best care, which will enable some of them to live independently. However, when we have the chance to assure children are born without Down's syndrome, it's our duty to do so for their sake.

LastPass prompts every time before autofilling your CC# into a form, so it might avoid this issue in that case.

I do believe it would still fail exposing your basic info, such as in this example, however.
I guess your best bet is make something and then save it to archive.org
He was referring to the fact that Antarctica isn't connected to any other continent either.
I know and use React (and React-Native) daily, but, except the views which are in JSX/es6/7, I like to write everything in java or kotlin which I can run in the browser.

There are a gazillion very useful Java-libraries out there.

I just implemented a ListView with complex filtering, live text-matching and sorting for an Android/React-native-app which has no problem displaying 100.000 items or more using Java-libraries.

React-Native's implementation on the other hand seems to be riddled with problems, judging from the bug-tracker and the confused API.
How far down the rabbit hole? Want to start at the proto-indo-europeans?
He's counting on something that definitely won't be there if there's the political will to cancel Social Security. ;)
I understand the point of AdNauseam, but is it really a great idea to install an extension that clicks every ad? Seems like a good way to waste bandwidth/CPU resources, expose your browser to malware, end up on lists of various sorts, etc.

Why do blogs need readers to log in?
Not saying that it's not worth the money, as I'm a user of the very early Yubikey and as it is not only the hardware.
But I cannot fully agree with the high costs associated with the hardened obfuscated ASIC
But from what I read it is not an ASCI (which is good). The Neo has a NXP A7005 CPU [1] and a USB interface chip.
The crypto part is of course in the CPU and for a NXP A7005CGHN1 I find prices below 4$ for quantities.

I'm shocked there doesn't seem to be a mention of his complete lack of a natural, engaging personality as being the number one reason why he would never stand a chance as a candidate.

Admittedly I haven't watched many interviews recently, but has he improved his onscreen personality at all since the famous D8 interview? Judging by some more recent ones (ex the one with Jerry Seinfeld), perhaps not.
I don't think this is fraud.

Either there is no law on the Internet - It seems be the reality of Internet being global and hardly enforceable - and in this case you do whatever you want and advertisers do whatever they want.

Or there is laws on the Internet, and advertisers are not respecting them. Privacy, damaging your devices via malware, not separation of contents vs. ads, EU laws being very protective, illegal targeting, etc. So, defending yourself against this is not fraud.
Is the reddit user "BaronHK" the same person who posted http://zammit.org/libreboot-screwup.html or just someone quoting it? My sense is he's the latter, but I'm not 100% sure.

In any case, the zammit.org statement sounds like it's a more believable reflection of the libreboot community. All the libreboot.org stuff reads too much like one perhaps-toxic person getting up on a soapbox.
I'm glad to see another project dropping the meaningless major version number(s). If you don't have a criteria for incrementing the major number, just drop it. This seems to finally be catching on, hopefully we'll see the billion open source projects with meaningless "0." continue to fall off.
Opposite meaning today?

I went to check and 9 years ago laptops were bigger then notebooks.

Back in 2008 - What is a Laptop Computer?
(n.) A laptop is a small, portable computer -- small enough that it can sit on your lap. Nowadays, laptop computers are more frequently called notebook computers, though technically laptops are somewhat larger in size than notebooks, in both thickness and weight.

Is that true? It's certainly true that under many of these alternative tax structures, we can't fund what we do right now.

If instead there was a list that said, "Here is the amount of money that went to each of the major federal departments", maybe people would say, "really? that's cheap!" or "really? we spend that much on defense???" Who knows, but they'd be better informed.

As I recall to a rough first approximation only about 1/5 of government spending isn't Defense, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid. That's the first thing to keep in mind when talking about deficits, taxation and priorities.

Personally every time I look at my pay statement the taxes sting badly. However, I think the more interesting discussion to have is, "what are we spending money on?"
I think the difference here is that my "hippie logic" term was taken completely out of context and translated into a negative tone. And, yes, I got defensive because that's not how I meant it at all and nobody seemed to want to discuss the real points being made at all. So it quickly got completely twisted into a version of that scene in the video I linked.

If we were talking face to face and I said "man, that's just a silly argument" or "you must be drunk to think that way" you'd know it was offered in a friendly tone not in a negative aggressive one.

My mistake: I should have added a happy face.

Thanks for your patience. Be well.

PS. I've pretty much given up debating theists. Not enough hours in a day (there's a pun there somewhere).
Thanks, I found it very difficult to express my ideas in computer generated chart.
I actually don't like RESTful stuff. I used the term to point out that the conversation between client and server is pure JSON which is the technique REST popularized. meta64 has a 'functional' interface to the server, and yes it's state-of-the-art. JSON up and JSON down.
It depends on the recovery options provided by the website. Usually they have other means, such as downloadable codes.

Generally I would just buy 2 however.
Many people come from backgrounds where their access to money was extremely limited. Maybe not this guy. But many people look to new careers such as programming as a way to help themselves and their families have a better life. Those people should not be frowned upon IMO.
Oh sorry! It's a Chinese propaganda 'documentary' put out by the Defense Ministry of the PRC. I did look for a subtitled/captioned version but no luck, though you can find rough transcripts on other pages.

Essentially it extrapolates from an (apparently genuine) GIA document produced during the 1990s, laying out a rough 'recipe' for turning a country towards western democracy by cultural, institutional, and political influence (or subversion, depending on your point of view) - essentially the 'soft power' approach of American diplomacy, backed up by the 90s-era conviction that we'd entered the 'end of history' following the fall of the USSR and that it was only a matter of time before every country switched to democracy and free markets because That's What Works. So this film is 50% a review of history from the Chinese and communist perspectives (worth remembering that Chinese history goes back ~5000 years so they see Marxism as a political technology rather than an identity), and 50% a how-to guide on spotting insidious Western cultural viruses.

Amusingly enough some of their complaints overlap with the complaints of western conservatives about 'cultural Marxism' which alleges that the entertainment industry is bent on unmaking national social consenses and replacing them with one world globalist tyranny. I wouldn't be surprised to find some films are considered objectionable by both communists and conservatives.
Given that the same people circulate between them, and they work together on a regular basis, and they both are critical to the survival of the society that exists today: I hold them to the same high standard.

I don't give breaks to golden parachutes or to lobbied appointments.
It's similar to how RT is fined and banned in the UK.

There's a ton of US propaganda in the New York Times. China doesn't appreciate that much.
(off topic) Since the transgender topic was mentioned, I just was curious what Audrey Tang has been up to lately:

She's the Digital Minister of Taiwan now. Well deserved.
Otto's level 4 system has not reached production, similar to all of the other level 4 systems that are currently in testing.

The point is that in order for government to pay back its debts, it has to tax people (or fire up the printing press).
Would you say a groupthink is a possible cause? In the past I've seen developers band behind a specific technical platform or framework without considering the possible downsides and constraints that were raised by a few individuals. Not even having a conversation around it but "this is how we do things here, we are an X shop".

It makes me uneasy when everybody's answer is exactly the same and they arrived it not through individual opinions but by adapting to whatever was set in place. This isn't bad if all options were thoroughly explored or possible pitfalls addressed (there are no absolute, only subjective and relative truths that come with pros & cons which each decision)....but when there won't even be a debate or conversation asking if what we are choosing to use is really the right thing because we thought it through independently or just because some big name at big company X declared it is the new paradigm.

After all, we are all fallible, development and tools we use is influenced more by marketing than proper cost/benefit analysis. Whatever seems hip, new, cool tends to triumph.

> But if you take the members of a team aside individually and ask them to rank the effectiveness of their colleagues, do you get compatible answers?

Yes. As a general rule, everyone knows who's doing the work.

Usually, even the manager knows. (Whether he cares and tries to keep the productive guys is another topic)
In this case, I think, because the user had to go into dev mode to install it.
Indie Hackers is great. Two comments/requests. It would be great to have some business and entrepreneurship books reviewed by the community. Some are worth reading, but many are not and Amazon type reviews are not reliable indicator or hype vs. value. Another great feature would be to have a small follow up with some of the showcased businesses. Especially the ones that just got started.

Great work and good luck!

The old OSDB project was useful for generating arbitrary sided ones, though I'm not sure if it still runs:

From memory, that rewrite is MySQL only (so far) though. ;)

I hate to make those assumptions. There is so little information.

However, I have a huge respect for the FSF and would be more inclined that they'd let someone go because of practical and professional issues. Letting go of people is not a decision to be taken lightly and originations have to weigh everything.

From the e-mail threads, she denounced the entire FSF and spoke for all Libreboot contributors. I do not like this. It makes a lot of broad assumptions about large groups of people that simply cannot be classified together.

I think the FSF made the right decision here, and has handled everything as professionally as they could.

Then explain why we've seen almost no automation of the workflow of investment bankers of the last 15 years even though it is a massive payroll expense in banks that are aggressively cutting headcount and automating back office functions.

I've taken the long path. I'm in my 30's and I'm finally figuring out what I want to be when I grow up. My advice is to try lots of things, keep an open mind, and try to enjoy life. It's a silly sounding cliche but life really is about the journey and not the destination.
I can't give you a direct citation, sadly. And this is just one anecdote, there are many others on how this choice of framework has actually contributed to losses of productivity, the exact opposite of what its supposed to do, I assume?
Maybe, but have you ever sat in on contentious planning meetings? IT's a great way to undermine any lingering faith in democracy you had :-(
I love this idea. I'd honestly be really excited to take it on as some sort of side project. The company/application itself could be an extension of the idea. Open source the whole thing and let the community help improve it while using a patreon-esque model to support the core developers/maintainers.
TL;DR

Quote: "Reasons: (1) it had not been a GNU package for very long, (2) she was the developer who had originally made it a GNU package, and (3) there were no major developers who wanted to continue developing Libreboot under GNU auspices."
> A mistake was done by some people in FSF

Probably just one person, and she was fired for it (or, more likely, them).

"Too expensive" is also often used, which completely ignores the expense that every other country also incurred.

My parents were teenagers when New Zealand went metric (and adopted decimal currency). They can still remember the musical jingles associated with helping people convert between common reference points (a pound of butter etc). They have also told me that most people just embraced it, recognising the benefits of the change. My grandparents still used imperial units into the 80's but have fully converted now.
No, that's why we need people not to bet their retirement on a pyramid scheme, which is the point the parent of this whole conversation was making.

To be fair, when I buy a company's stock on the public stock market, it's more of a lottery ticket than an investment. It's not as if buying a stock actually puts money into the company's pocket for them to use to "create economic value". Buying a stock puts money into the pocket of whoever last bought that stock so that they can continue gambling.
