> 1) sounds definitely like a permission problem. Is your user member of the dialout group?

Probably not. Will check -- I haven't changed any group memberships, so if it isn't by default, then it isn't.

> 2) Exchange is a problem...b) use Thunderbird with the proprietary plugin

Thunderbird with Exquilla is what I tried, but it just didn't quite do it for me -- the friction to use was greater than adapting to OWA.

> 3) There is Earth Pro for Linux too, it just isn't advertised.

Really?! I have to figure this out then! 3D buildings and drawing 3D paths to check LOS is my primary usage, so a GPS trace bug won't bother me too much.

> 5) Most distribution have a utility to make a boot drive.

I found the Ubuntu utility to make an Ubuntu bootable disk, but it wouldn't work on anything but an Ubuntu ISO.

Thanks for the tip -- I'll learn nmcli and give it a shot, sounds like exactly what I need.

How to Do Video Streaming from Drones Using Intel Edison
If you use Firefox, go to about:config and set "media.autoplay.enabled" to false. A few web sites throw a fit when they can't autoplay, but that's a price I'm willing to pay.
Rails + JQuery + Postgres + Heroku

Why? It works. It's not gonna have crazy changes. It's simple. There are a million relevant resources to help learn how to do x, or help you if you get stuck. It's easy to hire skilled people that know this stuff back to front.

btw - you don't start a medium to large project. You start a small one, build incrementally, and see what happens. If you have success, then you can spend money building in whatever you like.

A large proportion (if not the majority) of the world starts their calanders on Monday. While the ordering is arbitrary, I always thought of the weekend as a single block of days so it's odd to say that the week ends in the middle of the weekend (rather than at the end of the weekend).
The general usage of "third-world" has changed over time to be focused more on development than on whether a country was pro-USA or pro-Soviet.

If one were to hold to the original meaning of "third-world", then one would have to class Namibia and Angola as "first-world" countries while classing Switzerland, Ireland, Sweden, and Finland as "third world". Something that clearly goes against the current general usage of the term.
No one has bottled this yet and made it cheap. If you could do a saas of automated kali and ssllabs scans, for example, I think there is a huge market. If you want to start a consultancy, the market is saturated.
What do you think about Tezos? To me, it seems to go a few steps beyond ETH, in addition to be safer and have none of the trust issues - although I only found out about it a few days ago, so I'm really interested what people with more relevant coin/altcoin/ETH background think.
With shell one can just use "${path_var##*/}" to get the base name from the string stored in $path_var. This also works if $path_var is just a base name already without any slashes.

EDIT: fixed the substitution.
Indeed, first time I come across such a website where scrolling is not jittery as f and either too slow or too fast! I generally hate these kinds of website, but this one seems executed flawlessly.

...or maybe kudos to the Chrome/Webkit team for finally fixing their weird scrolling behavior :) Years ago when I tried to implement such a thing myself the only browser that provided a decent experience on all platforms and devices with respect to such a scrolling-driven site was Firefox (and yeah, Safari, as Apple had a page like that themselves showing some mac pro or smth... but that worked like shit on anything except Safari on MacOS).
The US is a large and varied place.

Why assume python? It's huge compared to bash or perl. Lots of minimal configuration operational systems won't have python. More likely than go/ruby/node though.
Yeah... LO may have 80% of the features, but if 25% of users use a few of those other 20% of features, you're going to face a lot of resistance from any company with even a dozen users. I've seen some amazing/scary things done in Excel (and Access even).
That's honestly a great point, and I had to mull this over quite a bit so I apologize for the delay. I wrote that as a complete stream of thought trying to deduce what I've learned over 3 years, so it makes sense that I'd leave out what I felt is a critical detail:

Humans need validation. How much validation we need, and what the sources of validation are, in my opinion, are more important then the fact of getting validation. Inherently when you seek validation, you're seeking acknowledgement and reassurance. You get a solid boost of dopamine when you present something you've worked on for 6 months and you get incredible feedback. You get the confidence that you're now capable of becoming a world class performer after finishing up 4 years at Julliard and do your solo performance. You then renew this sense of confidence with every single performance that happens afterwards(if they all go well).

My viewpoint is that if you're only producing for the validation of outside sources, you're eventually going to get burnt out. If you're producing only for validation, at a certain point you're not going to get the validation you thought you deserved and it's going to be demoralizing. This shouldn't limit your growth, though for a lot of people it does. You're chasing a false sense of security by gaining validation purely from others, and what I intend to do personally is strip that dependency of validation from others as a predictor of my own happiness.

That's where having personal values and a guiding principle come in hand. If you have a set of values and goals and roles that you're actively working towards that is well balanced, with a set of refined habits you could get validation from within before you seek validation from the outside. This enables you to find joy in mindless activities like cleaning up the house, gardening, doodling and daydreaming, because you know that when you're not meandering you're likely working on something that directly reinforces one of your core values. You get the positive reinforcement simply through your own habit, leading to a happier mindset before you even begin to share with the world whatever you wanted too. Hopefully this will allow you to take feedback positively, and work towards a better goal. It lets you not get too attached to every thing you create, removes the hovering parent effect on whatever you're creating, and forces you to be a bit more objective.

TL;DR; Validation is a necessary component of human existence, but the source of validation can be altered so that you can find purpose from within as opposed to relying on the outside world for validation. This I postulate is an integral part of becoming an active producer.

Yep. I tried minicom and did not like it :-)

Exquilla, didn't care for it either. The friction to switch/learn that + Thunderbird was greater than adapting to OWA

They are better described as developing nations however I agree that people tend to understand that third world means this, rather than the political definition.
>This says more about your sampling bias than youtube itself. And the fact you are posting this says more about the magnitude of your political bias (its exact direction being yet tbd) than anything you read.

And both of the above say more about your willingness to characterize the parent than about the issue under discussion.

>I'm not sure if you realize how many nuts really say what they believe and believe what they say.

Doesn't seem to matter, as long as they don't also ACT on what they believe/say. Which is the case for most people (both positive, e.g. they are racist but they wont act on it, and negative, e.g. they say their are this or that good thing, but they're all talk about it).
If anyone is interested in more of David Graeber, I can really recommend his well-known book "Debt: The First 5000 Years", which has become a staple in anarchist or Communist circles.

Apple's recent obsession with health monitoring is weird from a branding standpoint. Losing appeal with young people is the nightmare of any technology company, becoming known as that gadget for geriatrics is another level of dejection.

I read that this focus is particularly driven by Tim Cook's fascination with the space. It sort of confirms my idea of him as not a very image conscious CEO, especially in contrast with Jobs who was a legend at imbuing Apple with coolness and desirability.
Unfortunately the media makes aggressive predictions either to get a point across or for ratings but it is happening.

> while the US constitution contained a lot of fantastic elements and freedoms that every educated American knows about, it also contained a democratic system (first past the post/two party system) that is mathematically bound to breed divisiveness.

Disagreement is a human condition, not a democratic one. Democracy is just a way to let some ideas win some of the time.

There isn't a system in the world that's freed people from disagreement. Humans like disagreement. We want to be creative, original, and unique at times. That requires setting your own path.

Node + Vue
I wasn't aware of the original meaning. From Wikipedia[0]: "The term "Third World" arose during the Cold War to define countries that remained non-aligned with either NATO or the Communist Bloc. The United States, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Western European nations and their allies represented the First World, while the Soviet Union, China, Cuba, and their allies represented the Second World. This terminology provided a way of broadly categorizing the nations of the Earth into three groups based on political and economic divisions."

> it also contained a democratic system (first past the post/two party system) that is mathematically bound to breed divisiveness.

It doesn't have anything about parties in it at all, and leaves it up to the states to decide how to choose their electors. If California or any other state wanted a different system, it could decide to use ranked choice voting right now just like Maine chose last election.
Desktop Linux suffers from the same chicken-and-egg problem that doomed Windows Phone.

Developers don't develop for it since the user base isn't large enough, and people don't switch to it because app support is severely lacking. How good the raw OS is doesn't matter that much when the apps aren't up to par.

Your Wine comment illustrates my point - while Wine is an awesome project - even apps running perfectly through it feel like they're running on Windows 2000. That's fine if you just care about the functionality of the app, but not if you care about the user experience.

> Am I wrong in attributing/connecting most of Americas problems with its flawed constitution/democratic system?

Almost certainly. The US was doing fine for most of the 20th century.

Globalism is what has brought wages down. Globalism combines the economies of the richest countries with the economies of the poorest in an attempt to "help" poor countries. As rich countries and poor countries combine economies, they move toward economic-equilibrium, which means the people from the poor country get brought out of poverty at the expense of the people in the rich countries. This is fine for the "1%" on the coasts of the united states, but if you're part of rural America you're getting hit very hard by globalism.
That could make a difference in the House, but not in the Senate.

Can you cite any actual science to back that up? And make sure you exclude any sources that say "as early as 2000".

Or is this the new denialist meme? Instead of "in the 70s they were warning us about a new ice age" it's evolved into "in the 70s they said we'd have drowned by now".

I suppose it's getting slowly closer to the actual state of science.
Sure, if you just skip over this statement from the article:

"Millennials, on the other hand, tend to overestimate what they can afford in terms of housing."

The original "Barbershop" DVD had over 25 minutes of non-skippable previews and ads on it... So much so, that when the DVD player started skipping 5 minutes in (scratches on netflix rental), I never got around to watching it later (or asking for a different disc).

That's when I started ripping DVD content, just so I could watch it as the studios had gone way too far.

No, but this is a certainly hallmark of unstable governments. The big difference between Mexico and Canada is a strong middle class. Happy people who can feed their families and educate their children tend to stay quiet and go about their lives without stirring the pot. Once you've completely lost faith in government, why not look the other way when a drug cartel sets up shop in your town?
I think most of the division in US politics comes from the way representatives are influenced. By co-locating them all in Washington we enable destructive lobbying while keeping them away from the people they are supposed to represent. The party system is also destructive - I advocate against any legal recognition of political parties and against campaign ads funded by anyone outside the state a person is running in. These issues will not be addressed by the people in power though because they are part of the structures that need to be eliminated.
The constitution we have now isn't the first version. It was created with the ability to be changed with the process of amendments. We have 27 of them so far. More could be added to change the voting system or whatever else, if there was political will to do so; but currently there isn't.

(And this is ignoring the idea of the judiciary reading into the constitution new rights that weren't there to begin with.)

Middle class people in developing countries, e.g. Small business owners, have much better quality of life than the lower class US. Much more likely to have emotional healthy families, low cost of living allow high rate of savings, can afford electronics and broadband internet, support family of 3-5 kids with good enough tertiary education, and maybe even a car. Compare that to some of the places in the US riddled with drug addictions...
Mgen and Drec. No idea if they have been included in any modern distro, or there are more modern equivalents, anyway over 15 years ago I used them on Alpha hardware under both Linux, BSD and Tru64 to test a local network for missing UDP packets now and then in a strange regular pattern. By missing packets now and then I mean figures like 5 packets every 3 millions at full speed, it wasn't something one could hope to reproduce just by pinging around, therefore we needed something to leave during night hours running and writing huge logs.
Turned out that it was an interrupt triggered by the video subsystem on the Alpha machines only under Tru64 that grabbed 100% of the CPU for a very short time, but enough to make the receiving task miss a few packets. Once identified the problem I was able to reproduce and predict it with 100% accuracy.

Hm, I like Github but I don't like this. This is a great move, but we already have a code hosting monoculture, and this subtly piggy-backs on it towards lock-in for tooling. Github knows orgs have inertia.

Sorry for the slippery slopeism. I'm just imagining a future where shipping an app without a middleman moves to inconvenient, then annoying, then difficult, then impossible. Because this is exactly how we lost the ability to send email without paying the middleman privacy tax.
Phoenix (elixir-based web framework) is popular for RoR developers, yes. Elixir, has much broader application field.
Not a US citizen, but my understanding is that the two-party system is not mandated by the constitution, or even encouraged. It's something that developed on top of it, as a consequence of some bad rules (first-past-the-post as you say) but also other factors (campaign financing)

Because the beneficiaries of the system get to make the rules, there is also a push to change regulations more and more to favor the two-party system.

There are other parties (e.g. greens) it just doesn't make any practical sense to vote for them.
Or if you (like me) hate depending on globbing semantics:

I'm in the same position thinking of making a pivot into the security sector (coming from a mobile developer background). I think if you're good and always on top of infosec stuff and contribute to the community, you'll always have work.
I feel like this is a more general symptom of attempting to apply a democracy where every citizen's is valued equally in a very large population. At some point, it's simply impossible to have a whole population which is both properly educated and able to voice it's opinion. This line of reasoning is a large part of the reason that Rousseau suggested that societies would be best served by an educated aristocracy[1].

America has an aristocracy emerging in it's political/business class, but it still attempts to have every voice heard in elections, and as a result you'll always have people who feel hardly done by attempting to rebel against the status quo.

I'm also going go take the opportunity to share CGP Grey's videos on First Past the Post voting[2] and the electoral college[3], and the issues with those. He also has videos directly the electoral college, without his opinions, if you need some background[4].
