Animals like wild boar that sometimes eat slow growing plant life that accumulate Cesium are sometimes unsafe, or at least undesirable, to eat.

As I mentioned elsewhere, this affects reindeer and sheep in Norway some years, and that was a much larger scale issue as this was/is commercial level food supply. Not so much any more, but the effect varies from year to year as various animals will often prefer faster growing food (foliage, berries etc.) but may resort to other food that may be more likely to still be a reservoir of cesium or other contaminants if they are short on their preferred foods.

It's still trivial compared to coal in particular.
I commute daily 5-10mi each way in a climate that has hot and humid summers. You could probably make a bike commute work if you really wanted to. Humans are ingenious creatures. I bet you could find a way. Maybe it's not important to you or it's too much trouble but those are very different things than not possible.

Whenever I'm asked why I do something, I find that I often spontaneously make up a reason for why I do that thing, even when the real reason is because that's just they way it's always been done.
One can argue these topics until the cows come home, and possibly later. One can strongly argue for/against imperative programming, functional programming, OOP, design patterns, Design Patterns with Cool Names, Design Patterns as Implemented in Your Favorite Language, etc... At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is whether your team thinks your source code is structured or not. If you're on a team of one, well then you have your future self to contend with.

What grades and achievement tests measure
Actually we're paying a little bit more because it is a Windows instance :)

Admittedly we also find it expensive, but we try to balance off by making use of their infrastructure. Altogether we pay about half of what we used to pay when we had our servers collocated and we had a need for overprovising, so we still have a sense of saving money, at least for now (we migrated from collocated servers to AWS 6 months ago).
Your Ubuntu will be automatically updated to 16.04.2 when the next package update kicks in. You probably had some updates around Tuesday which upgraded you to status "16.04.2" (run "lsb_release -a" in a terminal to verify). Yesterday it was only the ISO images that were released.

The important issue with 16.04.2 is that you can now decide easily upgrade the Linux kernel from the original 4.4 version, to the new 4.8 version. This 4.8 Linux kernel version was released in Ubuntu 16.10 (Oct 2016) and it has been promoted to the new kernel for 16.04.2.

May sound complex :-). There is a nice graphic in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack that explains it well.

> Oh, Brasilia was designed that way.

Hardly. A 3-lane highway plus frontage roads cuts straight through the center. Then you have L4, which hugs the waterfront and cuts off much of the city in a very Robert Moses-esqe fashion. Its metro/rail system is completely anemic.

> Good thing the city was also designed with a huge collection of streets going around those neighborhoods, because everyone is on those, all the time.

I'd say that is precisely why it has more driving and less walking/public transport.

Rents in Berlin, even after a decade of increases that everyone is concerned about, are roughly equivalent to rents in Buffalo, not Manhattan.

It's very odd to think that high rents is some inherent fact of city life.

Within means 'within'. Bordering on and sharing a border would be the right way to describe it. So no, Ukraine is not 'within' Russia by any definition just like Canada is not 'within' the USA and Germany is not 'within' the Netherlands.
The message should be "if you think you're under investigation, abandon your email and don't login anymore."

How does that not translate into people who are concerned about investigations simply not using Riseup (at least, for email)?

It doesn't seem particularly likely that every member of a group of people will find out about the investigation before any damage is done and then also follow through abandoning their accounts with perfect discipline.
Considering that CryptoMiniSat got 3rd place (after 1st and 2nd both being lingeling) in Parallel SAT solving the last competition, I think it was fair to include it. Sure, it's mine, but I also put it at the end :) Other solvers that are good to look at: glucose and riss. Note that a lot of solvers are variations of MiniSat. riss, ligeling, PrecoSat and CryptoMiniSat are the only ones that substantially differ from MiniSat.
I'm in the registrar space. A few observations.

The process overall is not great, but ICANN's process didn't fail this customer. The customer needs to keep contact information up to date. If you own 100+ domains you should be very familiar and have your own process for managing this.

Its been this way since 2013.

The process to shut down a site is quite thorough in that many attempts at contact need to be made.

I'm a little surprised a phone call wasn't generated. By the time we've emailed you 3 times - we are making a phone call - we don't want to shut down a site if its at all avoidable.

This "24-48" hours stuff is nonsense - The suspension/un-suspension of a domain can be done almost immediately.

It remains to be seen but NameCheaps only potential issue here is whether they failed to renew the WHOIS privacy service.
I think you need an EV certificate from one of 5 providers to sign drivers that works on Windows 10 now.
Can tinder be made as a SPA OR MPA
Hey,

Is it even possible? and if so would you choose to go via the SPA or the MPA path?

Is it possible to SEO a SPA site such as this properly? on the other hand would a MPA function smoothly enough ?

What is unreasonable about requiring accurate and up-to-date contact information for the registrant?

This is a good example of the mindset that the parent poster opposes. Why do you take it for granted that, unless you live in a mind-bogglingly dense and expensive city, a car is the only way to get around? There are plenty of examples of small towns with adequate density to get by with using a car infrequently, at most--there are even some in North America, although it's depressingly rare. Why can't we demand better from our local governments?
The doll is not illegal because it can be hacked, it is illegal because it is considered a clandestine monitoring device. And the possession of those is illegal.
Many well-functioning huge metropoles are poly-central. A notable example is Berlin, which was merged from many cities in the 1920s, and was split by a national border 1948-1991.

Each little town acts approximately as a little city with retail, offices and services at it's center, and residential around it. Many of the 'centers' have rapid transit a connection to the two or three main employment centers, and many big cities have peripheral lines as well.

This means most of the services you'd use in your life are in your little town, hopefully reachable in walking distance, except your job. It may be located near another center, or in one of the CBDs (central business district). You'll have a walking or short bus connection to your local rail station, which in turn connects to the other centers, so most people will have reasonable connections to get to work.

One way to get to this paradigm is to leverage rail lines and subways to encourage this sort of development, building towns around stations. Unfortunately the tendency is to build transit along highways, which is cheap, but ultimately toxic to the idea of building walkable/human-scale towns surrounding the stations (see e.g. REM light rail proposal in Montreal). Another tendency is to build large parking lots around stations instead of towns.
>"The species evolves, individuals don't."

You are made of cells that are many generations separated from the fertilized egg. I don't see why you accept evolution at the species level but not cell level.

This sounds like a kind of reverse creationism, where macro-evolution is ok but micro-evolution is not.
Updating a local app is under your own control.

While self hosting webapps certainly is possible, this is not an option for the average user.

With a local app you can make it certain that it isn't leaking by not connecting it to the internet?

I guess we will have to agree to disagree on this as you are clearly looking at this from a different angle as I do.
It does not take that much time or effort to set up useful subnet/vpc security in AWS. Put the database in your VPC, say only your application vpc can talk to it. Done.

Reasonably good security practices are not that much effort, and really it's a case for respecting your users for the most part.

The security trust game is starting to blow up. Yahoo just lost $250million dollars to it.
One week ... that's enough for anyone /s.

In the best case, this behavior is just incredibly bad style. In the worst case, there might be room for legal action.
Bill Would Require Warrant for Police to Access Your Data from Third Parties
Here is HWE, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack and there was a change recently in the policy.

In a nutshell,

1. if you are happy with the currently kernel in Ubuntu 16.04, then you can stay with this kernel (it's version 4.4) and it gets supported until 2021).

2. if you want to jump to the new supported and tested (tested in 16.10) 4.8 Linux kernel, then there is a command described in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack that helps you upgrade.
However, when you upgrade the kernel (and Xserver stack that are linked together), your Linux kernel will be upgraded every six months from now on, until 2021. The next kernel version update will be in July, and it will be whatever Linux kernel was released in Ubuntu 17.04.

Gahh...stick with something. I'm tired of learning an entirely new init system every couple years.

To be fair, this is a problem with Linux stuff in general; I just wish Ubuntu could lead the pack in picking something and sticking to it.
> Humans are social creatures and like having like-minded people around, and for those of us who are weird in various ways, a group of like-minded people is easier to find in a city.

Out of curiosity, how did you go about finding a group in a city presumably distant from where you grew up?
If it can answer questions, then there must be a mic somewhere. And if it's always on and its data can be sniffed, the doll effectively becomes a bug, open to everyone who wants to listen.
I applaud your honesty.

From the entrepreneurs I've talked to, it's usually a combination of money and ego. They want to change the world because then "people will know who I am".
Because governments aren't set up to do things efficiently and can never capture the 24% return. Going back to the 19th US where government ran and backed enterprises were outperformed over and over sector by sector by private enterprise. Not losing your job for bad investments is a bad incentive.

The Warm Up – Monster 350z
I don't think that's a recommendation by Github. The site even says "Your unofficial guide to dotfiles on GitHub." and none of the 3 members of the dotfiles org seems to be Github employees. Neat list tho.
Why not use this info to assign a "leak" score to repos that have such info? Don't give anyone the details via a search interface but do rank the various public repos by the number of such leaks. That way the repo owners get a fair warning and a reputation hit without exposing the details of what is being leaked.
So how do you define "fully attempt"?

Both projects made immense progress over many years -- they just weren't able to justify the costs. IMO, they were actually really good attempts.

thats why its hated by the "Linux community". Casual Linux user like you mentioned(me included) doesnt care much about these behind the scene stuff.
I'm not sure it's that simple. Even if some people have more influence than others, it is still different from having one person, who can efficiently do whatever they please.
The headline of the article is misleading. As the article mentions itself at the end, the legal problem with the doll is, that it is a concealed listening device, a bug. And the sale and possession of these kind of devices is banned in Germany. That it can be too easily hacked, only makes the situation worse in practical terms, but the decisive factor is, that it is banned by the kind of its design.
This is a whole post, but basically, there are multiple SSH agents. ssh-agent supports the card and ed25519 keys, but doesn't support persisting keys across reboots. Gnome keyring supports persisting keys, but no card or ed25519 (AFAIK). gpg-agent supports persisting keys and ed25519, but no card.

Unfortunately, there's no perfect solution, so I just added an alias "yubissh" to include the library in the command line :(
I accidentally pushed keys to github last year and got an email from HelpfulOwl letting me know they found them and to remove them.

>Seriously though, knowing docker really well is more likely to improve my career

Unfortunately true -- for now. However, your career would be even better served by gaining experience in non-fad technologies.

Also, "career development" is an offensive reason to deploy a technology for your employer. I recognize that it is common, but it's still improper to prioritize resume points over the employer's long-term stability and interests. Personally, when a candidate gives off that vibe to me, I pass on them every time.

>Does Ansible provide isolation of different dev environments? I think not.

I don't understand. Anything you can script in Docker, you can script in Ansible. They both allow the user to pass in arbitrary shell commands and execute anything they want on the target. How does this not accommodate "isolation of different dev environments"?

Maybe you mean that since you can execute a Docker container on your Mac, you don't need to set up a "local" env? Docker transparently uses a virtual machine to execute a Linux kernel on the Mac. You can execute an Ansible script on a normal VM the same way (optionally using something like Vagrant to give more simplistic, Docker-like (which is really Vagrant-like) CLI management).
I've stopped letting these people lead me by the nose. For the community support and staying compatible I'm currently sticking with an Ubuntu upgrade path, but I've long left the default user interfaces behind. For a window manager I use openbox with tint2. I don't find much utility in the Debian/Ubuntu derived distros like Linux Mint, jumping from being based on Ubuntu,to Debian, then back to Ubuntu and breaking compatibility along the way.
Upstart not only came before systemd but is the init system of the still supported RHEL 6. I am not qualified to judge which one is better but let's agree on the facts.

As far as the marketing goes, it is a larger trend. See Fedora Workstation/Server, elementaryOS. In fact, on the CentOS homepage there is nary a mention of Linux.

I find the author's notion of being a leader to be a bit disturbing. A leader is someone whose authority is granted to them by those they are leading. A great leader is someone who may not even be thought of as a leader, but nevertheless directs and coordinates the actions and willing to take the flak for the team.

The idea of a leader taking control of a 4 member band without consent is laughable. That is a dictator, not a leader.

It strikes me as interesting that I do not see this called out more in the comments.

Aliyun asked me via email to send them ID copy, credit card copy, credit card statement for last 3 months in 24 hours otherwise my account would be shut down.

I did so in 39 hours because I don't check that email account very often.

All my running instances were shut down in 2 weeks without additional warnings. Only emails I got from them were about 20$ coupons for referral. As support later explained, I did not meet 24 hours deadline.

(AWS haves me as customer last 4 years with 10's of thousands USD spent yearly and never asked for ID or credit card copies).
They used 2 submarine reactors and the ship was underpowered. They could easily have used 3 or even 4. The original CVN USS Enterprise had 8 reactors.
Yes this!!!!

I develop lots of side projects that I always host in Ubuntu. They are web projects that require knowledge of configuring, stopping, and starting services on the box with ease. I am fully comfortable with upstart - but to learn systemD adds a huge amount of overhead to someone like me with little time who just wants to enjoy coding and shipping fun projects. I don't want to be a fulltime sysadmin just so I can launch a demo or game that nobody will ever use!

AVM Private Key Leak Puts Cable Modems Worldwide at Risk
When did this start to become a thing? Why is it even a thing? Is it just part of the progression of more intrusiveness, or is there something specifically they are looking for? Does anyone know what they do once they have your phone and password? I read some article saying that they looked through your email. Could you just keep one email account on it and delete apps such as facebook, and gmail for instance?

I guess you just wipe your phone prior to travelling and keep a couple of notes on it and do a restore from the internet or icloud or such once you have arrived, presumably they can't compel you to start a 24 hour restore of your phone from an unspecified place.

edit: in retrospect I think phone OS's need to provide as many user accounts as you want under the same name. Enter a different password, get a different profile.
