Maybe universities shouldn't be businesses, and what might be a prevailing way to edit genes for quite some time shouldn't be controlled. Perhaps this should be in the commonwealth. I've been to university talks where the presenters declined to answer certain questions because they'd violate the business interests of the school. In other words, the other researchers could not learn about the presenter's discovery and innovation. I think universities should be about advancing and sharing knowledge.
Will it be lightweight ? Will it have a shell ? Will it be customizable ? Will it have loads of third party applications ? Will it support non-Google hardware ? Will it finally bring serious OS innovation to the consumer desktop market ? Here is to hoping yes!

Any Apple Store will replace the battery in any Apple device for you, at the cost of the new battery.

Theyre not designed to be user replaceable, no. They also don't need the extra packaging and associated cruft that user replaceable batteries have, so they can be shaped to fit device shapes, and sized to give maximum charge capacity.

Even if someone with the money and will somehow wanted to sponsor the development of GNU, why would that fix it? The same story will just play out again.

If you want this fixed, get someone with the money and the will to end the copyrightability of software. Or find a different solution to let users have control over their computing even when they don't have control over the OS - there's no fundamental reason why this should require legal solutions, as opposed to, say, cryptographic ones.

As loeg mentioned, FreeBSD uses SVN. OpenBSD still uses CVS.

Why? Basically because they are the ones using it and it continues to work just fine for their needs.

Is there any good reason for them to migrate everything to a new VCS, be forced to learn new tools, etc., when what they are using now meets their needs just fine?

This is a perfect example of change for change's sake.
I'm sorry but his "proof" is mostly just puns. Sometimes OSS projects are given pun names simply for laughs, not because of some deeper meaning. No doubt Google is researching new OSs, View Managers and development frameworks. (Every company that large does.) But I think it's too early to call it a potential successor; architecture takes a long time to change.
Not emerging. Just being themselves with all their schemes and an economy dependent on them. A distrust of banks and their schemes at a national level might have reduced their ability to cause those problems. On top of the smaller stuff such as them delaying deposits or withdrawing stuff for bogus reasons.
Having studied the deep state for a long time now, I have come to a more nuanced conclusion:

Incompetence abounds, but is useful cover for the few malicious actors.

Often in discussion I have derided the use of Hanlons razor, for I think it a logically fallacious statement from the get-go, but I understand the spirit of it. The problem is that at a certain point, incompetence becomes indestinguishable from malice. At some level, attributing incompetence to everything because nobody knows what they are doing so it's just the complicated process of organic failure no longer suffices.

The irony is that I most often hear this defense from the realpolitik subscribers of the Kissinger type defending bad actions... the ones I highly suspect of being the primary malicious actors abusing the incompetence in the first place!

You want a perfect example of this? High level manipulation of events via the triple agents of the Cambridge 6. This is also why I theorize that the deep state is largely unkown the middle-high level managers, they simply corrupt from the top down.

For those curious about the deep state, I suggest starting with works of Peter Dale Scott.

I do wonder if they were making fun in a mean way or just poking fun in good nature. Of course, the person experiencing it is the one who can better tell, but it is often not obvious when lacking cultural context. One of my closest friends early on laughed at me because whenever I pronounced "vehicle" it sounded to him as "bagel", it did hurt my ego but I quickly got he meant nothing bad by it.

That said, if the American students were really making fun of the accent of Chinese students in a mean way, I can only assume they themselves never tried speaking any kind of Chinese. It is insanely difficult to get to "understandable" in a tonal language if your native language is not tonal, let alone "without funny accent".

It turns out that Debian is more permissive than Fedora when it comes to bootstrapping compilers with out-of-archive compilers. Fedora has an actual policy and it allows one-time out-of-archive bootstrapping.

The argument makes sense if you understand the context behind the Y! deal.

1. A large number of their shareholders want to be able to separate the web business from their outside investments in Y! Japan and Alibaba, but they aren't allowed to without taking a huge tax hit.

2. The only way left to facilitate this deal is to sell off the web business and then do other stuff with the remaining equity that basically turns the Y! shares into Alibaba and Y! Japan shares.

3. But no one wants to buy the web business since it's not very profitable (for a tech company it's very low price/earnings and profit margin) and looking worse thanks the the security issues.

4. That's why Y! needs Verizon much more than the other way around.
I think it really depends on what period of history you are talking about and also what you mean by "West". The Philippines is, of course, currently dominated by the Roman Catholic religion, but in pre-hispanic days there were local animist religions. I don't actually know that much about Philippine history, but every other culture in the area had a rich tradition of alcoholic drinks. These days there are a lot of countries where drinking is frowned upon, but these are mostly Islamic countries. Before the countries became Islamic, the indiginous cultures very certainly drank a lot.

Now the question is whether the idea that drinking alcohol is a bad idea is a Western idea or an Eastern idea really depends on where you think the middle east is. But the far east has historically been quite keen on drinking.

Even though Buddhism does not really look at drinking as a great thing, I can't think of any officially Buddhist country that banned drinking. Japan was Buddhist for hundreds of years and even banned eating meat (though I don't think it was widely observed). But drinking remained a big part of the culture.

So my impression is quite the opposite of yours. SE Asia has historically been quite fond of drinking alcohol, but has seen prohibition relatively recently. That prohibition has mostly come out of the middle eastern cultures moving east, rather than the other way around.

The "danger" is BSD licenses are highly permissive, you can take BSD licensed software, modify it and sell it and never return the changes to the community or release the source to customers.

This means all the work of the OSS community is 'free' for corporations to take.

Couldn't you put some kind of plastic membrane over the top of it once it's cured enough to not deform? The reason it needs so long to cure is to make sure the surface is hard enough to withstand erosion from turbulent water flow. If it's not directly exposed to the flow, you should be able to use it much sooner.

There's no way for people to answer this honestly without understanding your personal tax situation and financial goals. And it's not enough money to concern a financial adviser by itself.

Keep in mind, you're gonna pay brokerage fees and capital gains if you try to handle this by yourself. None of that amounts to alot of money, but enough to cut into your profits if you screw something up and the IRS gets to you. Best advice is, if you're far from retirement, just figure out how to get it rolled into a Roth IRA or something unless you actually need the cash.

This is a pretty simplistic explanation, but the BSD license doesn't require you to provide the source to customers. Essentially the argument is that companies will consume FOSS software without contributing back improvements to the determent of the community.

This is exactly what I always see happen. Common sense tells me formaldehyde and aluminum = not good. It's not iron after all.

Sadly, they aren't mutually exclusive.

Driving while distracted is a huge problem. Denial of that problem by people who have it is in itself also a huge problem. Apparently current levels of laws and penalties aren't sufficient to deter it, so something stronger may be needed.

Awful controls and interfaces in cars are also a problem. The number of gadgets and displays and distractions of all sorts in modern vehicles is disturbing. Laggy touchscreens are a prime example. Speak-out-loud systems and voice activated systems with poor speech recognition are other weak areas. I find it amazing that when cars are probably the second most expensive thing most of us ever buy, we accept such crude and poorly designed control systems, but there seems to be little concern in the industry because they're all just about as bad as each other. Again, at some point stronger regulation may be needed.

I was just having this conversation with a lawyer friend this morning. I'm personally on the fence on this issue - I'm very much pro-immigration (my dad was an immigrant, as are both of my wife's parents), but I'm pro-legal-immigrant, and on some level think it's a smack in the face to those who work very hard to get legitimate visas when people just walk over the border.

My friend pointed out that U.S. immigration law - and its history - is basically institutionalized racism. Take a look at the countries in the Visa Waiver Program:

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

Notice a pattern? Basically, if you're white (or Japanese or South Korean), we have no problem with you being in the country. If you're any other ethnicity, fuck you. Canada gets completely visa-free entry, but Mexico gets nothing.

If you look at the history of immigration laws, almost all of them had an explicit racial bias to them:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturalization_Act_of_1790 ("free white persons of good character")

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

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immigration_Act_of_1924 ("aimed at further restricting immigration of Southern Europeans and Eastern Europeans, especially Italians and Eastern European Jews, and severely restricted the immigration of Africans and outright banned the immigration of Arabs and Asians")

It did get somewhat better with the acts of 1952 and 1965, which set up the current occupation/skills-based system instead of blanket national bans, but even they had some clauses that are pretty embarrassing in hindsight (eg. the 1952 McCarran act banned anyone suspected of associating with Communist, which among others included Michel Foucault, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Pablo Neruda, and Pierre Trudeau).

It's very hard to argue for these from a framework of justice and individual liberty, because they all operate under the assumption that incidental characteristics like where someone is born and what color their skin is are more important than motivational characteristics like do they want to be in the U.S, do they agree with American values, and will they be a contributing citizen here. If you believe in judging people based on what they do rather than who they are, it's a pretty tough argument that the illegal Mexican immigrant who works 14 hours a day cleaning toilets so she can give a better life to her children is less deserving of being an American than the guy who runs a website spreading hate.

Ask HN: Why is there no mention of VxRail on HN?
I've consulted at a two places in my country that have upgraded their adhoc VMWare setups to VxRail (converged storage and compute or something).

Looking at the vendor costs and what benefits an organization seems to get from a VxRail appliance I didn't really see it as a justified purchase for any organization. So I've started research on VxRail and reading case studies etc. One thing I've noticed is that there are zero mentions of VxRail in HN (I tried searching both with Google and Algolia). Why is that?

With Docker, Kubernetes or just KVM and a decent clustered storage solution (Ceph?) can I achieve basically the same level of service but with open solutions?
