I won't address everything, just a few tips:

1) sounds definitely like a permission problem. Is your user member of the dialout group? If not, add it there, re-login and try again. You should not be forced to use the root user.

2) Exchange is a problem. There are several solutions, none of them is all that great: a) use Evolution, b) use Thunderbird with the proprietary plugin, c) use a proxy like davmail (davmail.sf.net).

3) There is Earth Pro for Linux too, it just isn't advertised. After installing the regular Earth, it will install also a repo for updates. Check what else is there in the repo - in the .rpm repo, there is the pro version. It has some bugs though - every time I try to use GPS tracing, it crashes.

5) Most distribution have a utility to make a boot drive. There are also other ways. If you intend to boot via UEFI, there's no need for special utilities to make the USB key. Just copy the iso content to the USB stick, on FAT{16,32}-formatted partition. If the UEFI bootloader can find the EFI directory in the root and it's content, it will boot fine.

This will not work for some windows editions, thought. For example, Windows 2012R2 has install.wim larger than 4 GB, so it won't fit on a FAT filesystem.

6) Do not fight the NetworkManager with ifconfig. If you want to use NetworkManager (and you want, if you use wifi, wwan, etc), change the IPs with nmcli. It's command line interface to the NM, so it will take note of this change and it won't cause difference between what the config files say and what is the reality on the interfaces.
Some are honestly misinformed and can respond to new information, some will never change their mind and others are paid to be denialists.

It's worth responding to the first group, the response will indicate if they're really the second or third groups.

Yeah parent comment's tone is a bit too judgmental - if self-marketing is the real problem, then can I add that having a nice portfolio website is always super helpful. Even if you can't "show" your code stuff, at the very least just talk about the projects you've done.

Make sure that the website is built rock-solid so you don't shoot yourself in the foot as a front end dev ;))
US population has continued to grow so individual new roads or housing will never be enough on their own. It's the rate of new roads and housing that's important. Consider the Big dig was extremely expensive and made significant long term impact, but another one would still help.
At the end of the day, it is very difficult for you to find an answer here. But there are quite a lot of interesting perspectives listed down here. It is all upto you and how you consume all these mediums & your time.

Try to follow a different & disciplined routine. If you are able to follow it up for a continuous 30 days, may be you will start producing rather than consuming. Write down your activities on a daily basis.
I'd recommend to watch this talk about the German prison system from an American perspective. The main point is the difference between European resocialization and US retributive justice. Although this may show the bright sides here in Germany a little bit too bright, they do exist.

AAFS it is then. To bad it already exists, and even more confusingly also has something to do with a journal :D
Why crazy?
I don't think the title is fair to what's going on here. To be sure, there has been a reconsideration of Lee, but it's not as negative as one might think. Often the counterfactuals presented here and in other articles forget the context of the time. For example, Lee certainly was in love with Virginia, but it could have hardly been given up in a war of attrition: besides being the Confederate capital it also had the Confederacy's major ironworks.

Some writers also often don't look at the events of the Overland Campaign and its aftermath in 1864. Lee fought largely defensively and though he bled the Union, he didn't stop it. In fact, by the time the campaign ended at Richmond his army was severely reduced and morale was bad bad bad.

It's true that Lee was overly aggressive. His arrogance led to bloodlettings like Malvern Hill and Gettysburg. But his approach (attack attack attack) compensated for the fact that Lee's army was much smaller. His ability to keep the Union off balance meant that the Confederacy held on to the majority of Virginia until 1864. By 1864 in the West the Confederacy was cut off from Texas and Arkansas, had lost most of Mississippi and Louisiana, and a Union army was about to plunge into Georgia.

We should certainly take Lee off of his pedestal. His generalship was a product of the times. It might be fairer to say that of the generals fighting the Civil War, he was the best.
There's a big difference between not being anti-gmo, and being pro-monstanto... I'm pretty biased against larger corporations and want a serious reversion of IP legislation and practice (though feel some of it has a place, we've just gone too far).

It really depends on the specifics. There's plenty of things in nature than can kill you. Most people are allergic to something. That said, it really depends, and most of what's done to GMO products aren't that different than the selective breeding that has gone on for millennia, and the stuff that actually occurs in nature.

Just because there's always been some manipulation of news/media, doesn't mean we should or have to accept that moving forward. I wish I had the time and could cover the expense of coming up with something better, at least a place to start.
Here is Amsterdam, Holland, the property market for low-lying areas is still running hot since about 800 years and we are, not will be, 2 meters (7 foot in Freedom) under sealevel. [0]

And about two thirds of the country is vulnerable to flooding, while the country is among the most densely populated on Earth. [1]

Not trying to deny possible flooding by melting ice and expanding seawater, just saying (at least the Dutch) people tend to not care to much about "possible" "one day" "change of 1 in a 100" scenarios while the living is good.

> those cities have strict zoning laws (and NIMBY)

Strict zoning laws is not an issue, shit zoning laws is, especially exclusive ones (though I have no idea what zoning laws the bay uses). Zoning laws are just a way to define what can be mixed in areas, the US have notoriously garbage ones (often exclusive, overly complex and hyperlocal) but it doesn't have to be that way: http://urbankchoze.blogspot.be/2014/04/japanese-zoning.html

Just judging by how mother nature has acted in the last few years, I suspect that sea level rise will be anything but gradual. I'm sure someone here on HN has a climate science background and can weigh in; but even though the sea level rise will take place over the course of 80 years, it seems reasonable that it would happen in fits and starts, i.e. catastrophic flooding every few years.

If something doesn't have algol syntax, it generally doesn't do well with the masses. Look at where Common Lisp & Clojure sit on the TIOBE list(do they even break the top 20?) FP is picking up some steam, but I fear lisp never will especially with such fragmentation of language and vendor. I'm not really familiar with Logo, but it doesn't sound like it had parenthesis or brackets like Rebol (something to make it homoiconic), and since it is not in use anymore...that might be proving my point.

"Once your revenue reaches a minimum of $500 USD for the month, you'll receive an electronic payment from GitHub for 75% of the sales price."

So it looks like Github takes a 25% fee. I thought maybe they would do something more innovative regarding the fee structure, or maybe have a lower intro fee like 15%. But here is seems pretty much on par with the 30% of the Heroku marketplace.

That assumes an underdamped system (and I'd be really interested to know if that feedback is generally considered underdamped). In the end, can't we agree that things would stabilize or nearly stabilize in the appropriate equilibrium?

On another note, I (as a visitor) always figured the most visible effect of the dearth of affordable housing was the ridiculously early time the city shuts down. Madrid is the city I've spent the most time in, and there SF shutdown time would be right in the middle of, or before, dinner! I just figured that the early closing time facilitates closing up, cleaning, and getting home before the transit shuts down since no one working in restaurants or nightlife could afford to live in the city. I'm sure I'm not the first one to suggest that: is that theory generally discounted/disproven?
Having 7nth way to pay for something is cute, but not exciting.

There are many who claim the title of Christian and are no more Christian than any true-blue Atheist, Buddhist, Moslem, etc.

The other "problem" is the commonly promulgated belief that if one does not subscribe to the view of anthropogenic climate change then one has to be a climate change denier. This belief has just as much stupidity and bigotry as saying that the earth is flat.

Your "peril" is not being able to look at things with a much more nuanced view and actually recognise the big and little differences between people.
You might be the wrong person to ask, but I can't really find anything about this elsewhere:

As an App/Integration, is your interaction with the GitHub interface itself limited to only those things that you can do via API calls, such as creating new issues? Or do you have some capacity to modify or add on to the existing interface?

It never ceases to amaze and frustrate me that almost every time I buy a legal DVD, I am punished by being required to watch non-skipable content warning me that pirating is illegal (I can just hear the irony dripping). This can often be followed by adverts and previews that are either difficult to skip or impossible.

All this combined with the fact that I probably had to wait longer to be able to purchase the DVD legally in the first place, because of regional restrictions...

Any anti-pirating scheme really should encourage, as its first priority, a smooth, hassle-free, user experience - or risk encouraging people to go over to the dark side.
Congratulations to the GitHub team for a great release here on the new Marketplace. I'm Matt - CEO at ZenHub [1], one of the launch partners for the Marketplace. We've been building apps on top of the GitHub platform for 3 years now and watching the evolution has been amazing. The three releases here have really helped with our biggest integrator pain points:

GraphQL - better and faster access to data without hitting API limits

GitHub Apps - not having to ask users for so many permissions!

Marketplace - user acquisition targeted specifically at GitHub users

Thanks! That is a solid endorsement.

I always find myself struggling with programming paradigms, having heard of so many and used so few. I love functional programming (to the extent that my ugly point-free-ish, heavily type-hinted Python is functional), but I also love how OO makes it easy for me to encapsulate logic and data. It seems too good to be true that I could have both, but here I am!
In fact can be even the same doctors, but the public healthcare system has more money and better resources: better machines, more complete operating theaters, more blood bags available, more physicians... (you need two surgeons at least present by law in case one gets suddenly ill for example, so insurance companies hire senior physicians from the public system all the time for filling the quota)

The main goal of private companies is earning money, so they will try to cut costs. If a patient gets worse or the operation finds a problem or do not went as expected the patient will be quickly derived to the nearest public hospital (the insurance will be billed later for this).
Exactly because I like tech I don't like how the persons it's shaped by and the reasons they shape it for. (particular things I dislike are symptoms of that). Consider the thoughts of Konrad Zuse or Joseph Weizenbaum with just about anyone who ever worked at Microsoft, Apple, Google or Facebook in any sort of leading role.

Technology can empower, it can give people room, and it can "capture the imagination" and "change the way we think about trivial thing X or Y". Or take the constant "we want to help people do X"... I'm really tired of the sleaze, the pretend-awedness and how we accepted filler language and filler personalities, more than I have a problem with the size of success of any single corporation per se. Maybe these things go hand in hand, maybe mass societies can't be human societies, but I'm not convinced, IMHO we're not even really trying so far, we just pretend being kind of dorks is "the future" and "modern".

My problem with apropos (and man, for that matter) is related to how at least one major distribution handles the man pages. Rather than bundling the man pages with the applications, the man pages for many applications are bundled together in one base package. When this is done regardless of whether or not the application is actually on the system, apropos and man continually return information on applications which are not on the system.
That is quite a stupid argument which you seem to just rephrase without having thought about it, as you could aswell say then that healthy eating takes some more time and consideration than running to the next fast food burger, thus you can only eat healthy if your time is worthless. Or how about developing new energy sources if we can just burn all the oil much easier? Sometimes some efforts have to be done to have nice things. See how dumb this 'Only if your time is worthless' sounds now?

OK maybe I'm missing something, but what is new about this patent? The schematic "how does it work" figure 6 is nothing but a napkin design. Anybody with half a braincell can make that up within 5 minutes after being introduced to the perceived problem. In other words: the subject of the patent looks to be very obvious, to me.

OTOH This might discourage other companies from implementing a similar idea, which is something at some users will appreciate.
Glacial melting can have quite fast effects. For example when a glacial lake is building do to melting and the ice dam holding back all the water breaks. The content of the whole glacial lake can be swooped to the oceans in one flush. It doesn't even have to be melted water. Rivers under the ice due to melting ice can transport whole ice sheets to the coast and into the oceans. Carrying all the weight of the ice with it, into the oceans.
Now the ice sheets have a MASSIVE weight that pushs on the whole antarctic continent. Releasing all that weight has an effect on the earth crust. Much less weight on the antarctic continent and overall more weight on the oceans.
This will result in tensions in the earth crust. We know how these are released: Earth quakes. Earth quakes can also result in tsunamis.
A lot of coastal cities are not really prepared for tsunamis.

Yeah, I have heard that one before.

At work, I am a sysadmin/helpdesk monkey taking care of a network of ~80 users and a dozen servers, all on Windows, and let me tell you: Windows has its fair share of weird problems, inexplicable failures, stuff that "worked yesterday"...

Windows may "just work" often enough, but unlike Linux, it also "just stops working" so often, it's just not funny any more. On Linux, once one has it working, at least it keeps working.

Happy to see more and more non-trivial platform-based implementations in Elixir. We're using the Elixir/OTP+Phoenix stack for our own projects, handling networks of radio-connected sensors. It has been a breeze developing with Elixir, as not only the language is maturing, but the ecosystem is steadily growing as well - and there are a number of great libraries, from Ecto to Phoenix itself.

The OTP foundation of Erlang and hence Elixir just screams "platform" or at least "network", as it was designed to handle parallel flows of data. Great to see yet another project utilizing this aspect of the language.
In the late 70's, I can remember a rash of stories on the nightly news, telling us that scientists were predicting that half of Florida was going to be underwater by the 2000's. Perhaps, even as a kid, I was sensitized to reporting on science, since my 4th-grade science text book was also predicting we'd be in a mini ice age in the 80's, and completely out of oil by 2000. And, dang it, I was looking forward to driving.

It's forty years later, and the only land that I've read about that we've lost to global ocean level rise is some "islands" in the South Pacific that were only a couple millimeters above sea level anyway. Can someone here point me to actual, significant, usable land loss due to rising sea level? I'm not saying it hasn't happened, but I figure, if it had, it would be something that gets trotted out at every one of these discussions.

Now we're getting a beautifully-rendered Times article where some NASA climatologist says that, in another 10 years, we could have some "significant retreat." After half a lifetime of hearing this, and not seeing anything like the kind of change that would threaten man's survival, I'm sorry, but I'm skeptical.
Every time someone brings up social good, I keep wanting to know what that means. Can we have a truly objective definition of 'social good'? Or is it entirely dependent on the individual person's definition of what that means to them.
