The crucial difference is in distribution, not in usage.

AMD and Nvidia distribute a binary module with a thin shim. It is the user who builds this shim and inserts into his kernel. Neither AMD, Nvidia nor any Linux vendor[1] distribute any binary, that links into GPL-ed kernel. The combination is done by the user.

And so does the ZoL project. They have the same trade-offs as AMD and Nvidia. It is just much more difficult to install Linux on a filesystem not supported by the installer, than not have working 3D acceleration at setup time though.

[1] the distributions take care to have them in separate, third party repos and if you look more closely, you will find they are being build on the user machine using dkms, akmod or similar mechanism. That also trows a wrench into things if you want to use Secure Boot too.
100% agreed to your advice. Starting small and maintaining the best quality is the most appropriate way to start. I hope this guys has patented this thing.
Well, also NixOS.
More importantly: any such rebranding would ignore how we got into the current predicament to begin with...

Oil, gas, and coal companies have known about climate change for decades, and it represents a threat to untold megabillions worth of profits and business. It is no coincidence they have been pushing anti-nuclear FUD, sponsoring hack research, pushing "green" blogs, NIMBY campaigns, and such for decades. Coordinated, professional, smear campaigns masquerading as environmental issues.

Leaked presentations and marketing materials have shown those companies have triangulated the issue quite simply: They cannot win on facts. They cannot convince everyone to keep fossil fueling it up on the merits of their argument. They can, however, cause enough confusion and knee-jerking to keep the "debate" about climate change open to paralyze political action. They have also pushed pie-in-the-sky green solutions which are superficially satisfying but fundamentally entrench their interests until we're past the point of no return. Push the starting line so far forward that we just have to give up.

That the "environmentalists" on the left have spent 20+ years pushing the strategic interests of Big Coal and Big Oil using their resources and bad science is the result of willful manipulation. That manipulation is a response to the threat of atomic energy and climate change legislation in light of our global infrastructure cycles.

That is to say: if you call fission "grandmas apple pie" it will be a very short time before we're all convinced that grandmas apple pie is dangerous, impractical, too expensive, poorly thought out, not scalable, not feasible, and impossible to do right. Forget what the stats say. Do not look at Ontario. Pretend France is not real. There will be blogs. There will be glossy signs. There will be "grassroots activism", tweet campaigns, and coordinated messaging about Big Grandma and the cancerous properties of Pie. The anti-GMO people will now be anti-grandma, too.

We are playing a game against well-connected oligopolists... We only get to win if we win. They get to win if they win, or if the clock runs out. So guess what the strategy is?

There are plenty of instances of this bug being brought up on the mailing list. One of them is already linked elsewhere in this discussion, and the btrfs status page (also linked from this discussion) has further mailing list links.

Basically, btrfs doesn't want to allow a writeable mount when it might be missing some data. If there's some data on the FS that isn't stored with the RAID1 profile, then the kernel can't safely assume that the missing drive didn't have more chunks like that, holding data that wasn't mirrored on one of the surviving drives. But it's currently not possible to convert from RAID1 to non-RAID or to rebuild the array with a replacement without mounting the degraded array as writeable, which leads to non-RAID data being written. That puts the FS in a state that cannot be automatically judged safe at mount time, and the FS remains in that state until the recovery is complete (either converting from RAID1 to non-RAID, or replacing the failed drive).

There's no easy way to require the user to specify at the time of the `mount -o degraded,rw` whether they intend to resolve the situation by ceasing to use RAID1 or by replacing the failed drive. That leaves users with the opportunity to do neither and instead make the situation worse.
Using voice interfaces (at least in a public setting) is going to end up like the Segway. Looks kinda cool on the brochure, but feels a bit daft actually doing it when out and about.
Agreed, that default policy should be manual intervention, but currently I don't see how I can set a different policy.

For example in a large cluster where that degradation is expected and monitored for.

How do you add a second drive? Is there a brtfs raid faq/howto?
Ah true, you need some form of anti-aliasing for that, which would basically end up at something like Xiaolin Wu's algorithm.

As a user and as a non-monetizing publisher I love AMP. It's fast, offers free caching, and gives users a positive experience.

I don't get the hostility towards AMP, or the outright obnoxiousness of people who are against it (the replies to someone who works on AMP are so uncharitable and hostile). There are downsides, and I do wish the alternative was simply a "HTMLite" that standardized many of the restrictions of AMP to stop it from being the tragedy of the commons that many publishers make it, but it's hardly the villain its held as.
Salary questions should require a currency suggestion.
Amp has ads, including AdSense.

"Annual gross salary": Euro? Dollars? Swedish/Norwegian/Danish crowns? British pounds? Swiss franks?

Is this going to be published somewhere? I wrote in the salary in the currency of my country which was probably not the intended thing to do.
I've been using Apple Maps in the UK for the past year after buying a car with CarPlay. I also used it in hire cars in a couple of other European countries. It's pretty good.

Traffic is accurate, although it is be a little slower to update than Google Maps (it seems to be ~5 mins behind). Directions are spot on and the UI (at least in CarPlay) is clear and detailed. The only thing that's poor compared to Google Maps is the search but it's certainly a decent alternative and it's come a long way since it was first released.
Right. Which is a pressure-analogue.
Interesting definition of Europe that includes UK but doesn't include Serbia not to mention Russia.

It's a solution to a web problem which is that it's a platform that allows a tragedy of the commons behavior to manifest, each publisher trying to out-do the other in abusive behaviors.

Actually, the first (IIRC) lab-grown burger was served 4 years ago in Maastricht, The Netherlands, by a company called Mosa Meat, back then already backed by Gates. A quick google finds https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/08/bill-gates-and-richa... on that investment, but I'm sure there's more. I think they got the price down a few hundreds per burger by now, still a way to go obviously, but there are many in-vitro research groups in Europe.
Data is impossible to read - seems like some people are converting their salary to USD, some others leave it in their home currency and a rare few provide the accurate currency. Interesting initiative though - would love to see this in a better format :)

The building is haunted, clearly. Cursed, even!
I’m not opposed to positive rights, but I’d rather we call them something else so as not to erode the special nature of regular rights.

In Europe/UK, the right to housing is often mentioned. That is a completely different can of worms. A state can try and fail to provide everyone access to housing. This is different to free speech. There is no such thing as well intentioned failure to protect speech.
It's missing Norway and Switzerland as well.

Seems to be only targetting EU countries, not European countries.
Career shift: how to make an entrepreneurial leap
Options are not income and are worthless unless it’s a public company or there is a liquidity event. Considering options as a part of income is the same as if your company paid you in lottery tickets.
If there is a choice between having to watch annoying ads and not having those details, then I go for the more basic system that is ad free. (I do use openstreetmap for 99% for my navigation, mostly because I care about open navigation systems)

No doubt, real time traffic information can be developed for openstreetmap. But if and when it happens depends on where others drop the ball.

For example, current navigation systems built into cars tend to be completely out of date and mostly unsupported long before the car itself is end of life. So this is an area where openstreetmap might take over.
I've always been convinced Donkey Kong is named thus because some Japanese guy mistook 'donkey' for 'monkey'. (Haven't bothered to look for the history though so feel free to set me straight)

Could you at least make it possible for websites to opt out of the AMP cache? Last time I checked, publishing an AMP page grants Google (and everyone else) an implicit license to incorporate your content on their own web properties. The AMP FAQ say: "Should you desire not to have your document cached, one option is to remove the amp attribute from the HTML tag. This makes the document technically invalid AMP, while not impacting the functionality of the document." But from what I understand, this will also impact the presentation and ranking in search results.

> In real democracies voters always want low taxes

Would they have to always want that though? I mean, I believe a lot of things can be made more efficient by economies of scale, and in some cases avoiding perverse incentives of for-profit motives (the stories I keep reading about the worst of the American prisons come to mind). In other words: that some systems work best when handled by the government. So I have no trouble believing there are situations where paying more taxes gives me the best value for money in terms of increasing personal happiness, because they would be spent on improving those systems.

I'm not sure if there is any government out there currently that I trust that much, but it's sounds hypothetically possible to me.
We can certainly have limits in polite society, just not in public life.

Tolerating intolerance is indeed an issue, but I don’t think there’s anything inevitable about their eventual success. For liberal democracy to survive, the electorate need to choose it. If 51% of the public is non democratic in their political preferences, we can’t have democracy.

They have a right to speak, not rule.
Tax codes agree and defer the actual taxation to the time you execute the options - then they become income.

I don't think you're going to get a great response as that's a lot of identifying information you're asking for. Country, Area (optional), years of experience, gross salary and extras is what you really want.
> If Google preloaded the page from a non-google server, there would be a few problems. The most important one is that it would violate the user's privacy.

That's one problem.

> without the page being served from Google's cache, there is no way to guarantee it's actually a valid AMP page

Yes there is. You can validate pages as AMP on any CDN. You just can't have any benefit unless they're hosted on Google CDN.

> Putting money away in savings, hopefully to secure a more stable future, should bring some measure of confidence/happiness.

Only if you actually believe that saving money secures a more stable future. In practice, it really doesn't - you're still working at the same shitty job with no prospects, just with nothing to distract you from the reality of what that means, and maybe if you manage to save enough over half a year you can survive a couple of weeks between jobs. Woop.

It doesn't actually provide stability in the sense that makes people feel happy - a job in which it's unlikely you'll get fired without warning in the first place does that. Hopping jobs, hopping rented accommodation, hopping shitty transport that you can't really depend on but you need to depend on for a living... that's the stressor. Many people with professional jobs, stable housing, and health insurance, but no savings to speak of are quite happy.

You're never going to save enough to actually do anything with it within five years on a low-income job, no matter how much you cut back - doubly so if you have any debt at all - and there's studies that show that planning for the future where that future is not guaranteed is not a strength of many people on low incomes.

> All rights, regardless of their "nature" require enforcement and consistent interpretation and neither of those things come for free.

You start to hit on the distinction a bit when comparing the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence, but you seem to think the ones in the Declaration are less important.

The Declaration talks of "inalienable rights". These are rights that cannot be legitimately violated. That's not to say they can't be violated (slavery was obviously a thing), but that people and governments who violate them are wrong (tyrants, in the language of the Declaration).

So the lack of an enforced legal framework doesn't mean something isn't a right. It can mean that some organization or person is failing to be decent, though.
Does the thought sometimes hit you like a pile of bricks when you're sitting at work? Damn.

> Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Imagine a small company releasing a new js framework with BSD+Patents license. Will FB use ever this framework? No. Because merely using this framework gives this small company the effective freedom to infringe Facebook's patents. Why? Because the cost for FB to shift frameworks will be huge, thus prohibiting FB to sue this small company for patent infringement.

Using a software with BSD+Patents license is almost giving up the right to sue this company. This is dangerously radioactive.
From the n-gate page:

> Pasting n-gate content or generally talking about n-gate on "Hacker" "News" is a violation of the Prime Directive.

In other words, they want to publish their rants, but are unwilling to discuss their views with anyone, not even the very people they are criticizing. This may be a valid (although insane) approach for a blog, but somewhat contradicts their stated goal:

> The purpose of n-gate is to be a remote island of contemptuous sanity in a sea of ridiculous webshit.
Doesn't Disney already have a streaming TV service called Disney Life that does all this? It's £4.99 a month here so less then your $10/mo range. You get access to quite an extensive catalog of Disney stuff. It's a bit clunky the interface, not remembering where you were when you left. Fast forwarding is a pain. Sometimes crashing (and coupled with the not remembering and the fast forwarding is a pain, makes it a bigger issue).
Strange that they would pay the same money for an iMessage or Viber exploit. Those have very little market penetration compared to WhatsApp it's 90%+ (!)

No one's questioning the liquidity of the BC market; getting the money to and from the exchange would be a gigantic hassle. Banks generally have reporting requirements for transactions of a certain size, many countries are more uptight about opening accounts (Know Your Customer laws) due to previous terrorism-related money-laundering operations; as a US citizen, he'd have the burden of reporting his overseas income back to the IRS (failure of which may trigger asset seizure back in the USA, which might be a problem if he bought a house for his parents).
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but while salaries are high and taxes are relatively low, general living costs are quite high. Particularly if you have kids and so want a bigger house and good schools.

I've looked at this and the benefits we get from staying in Germany outweigh the extra income earned.
This is very interesting. I cannot stop thinking that this is the logical next step of social media, or if you want to make the circle a bit bigger - photography; or even bigger - self representation.

People strive to be perceived in a certain light and be approved for this egocentric perception of oneself. First it started with favorable pictures that you deemed fitting. Then along came filters, which "enhance" certain features of your pictures. Now Cornea AI - which guesses the approval rate of your pictures.

I somehow find it beautiful. But then again I feel a bit sad that humans have come thus far...

IANAL and I could be wrong here, but I think thats only partially right.

Although article 21 itself doesn't say anything about food, shelter etc, the courts have established precedent by including those in their interpretation of article 21 and the directive principles in the past.
However, I'm not sure there has been a ruling specifically affirming those rights as being fundamental, and the text of the constituion definitely does not mention them as fundamental rights.
The full text of Article 21 is simply:
"No person shall be deprived of his life or personal
liberty except according to procedure established by law."

Since the right to education is specifically included under Article 21(A), it is a fundamental right.

In the specific case of Aadhaar and UIDAI as they currently exist, I think the "Right to Privacy" which has now been affirmed, and the "Right to Constitutional Remedies" (Article 32) should take precedence.

Right to clothing isn't mentioned anywhere as far as I can tell.
