A guy who has more money than he could ever spend in a dozen lifetimes. He could have kept these afloat indefinitely while trying to find a workable business model. This was pure spite and greed. He probably has no problem working with other wealthy people to bring benefits to wealthy people, yet he has a problem with his own workers, trying to join together to represent themselves. It says a lot about where we are as a culture that we need to place the delicate feelings of a man who's every material need and more is catered to while ignoring the needs (food, shelter, health care, etc) of his workers.

If you're working on a feature that integrates with LDAP, you need an LDAP accessible locally. Docker lets you spin one up near instantly. The alternative I'm describing is to install the LDAP server locally or in a VM. Both are definitely options, but they're significantly more intrusive or involve (or both).

Ditto for a Postgres DB, a Redis server, or any other external resource needed by your app. It's not just for integration tests. You need them available to develop against and Docker provides a consistent way for everybody to spin up those resources quickly.
>I don't see how you'd equate communism and nazism.

They are both abject totalitarian ideologies that produced obscene levels of human suffering.

Just add the deaths caused by communist policies (mass-executions, purges, labor camps, collectivization, famine etc).

Ah that is a point I forgot to mention on my other post of CONs with remote work - when friends/family in close proximity don't respect your need for space and quiet. But really, it's not much different from co-workers who do the same (except that with your children it's expected behavior, but with colleagues you would think they could learn after a while!)

Commutes are not all bad. But the bad ones can be miserable. Self driving cars (for all drivers!) would make it so much better...

I would say that is not professional. If there is anything work related, you book a meeting and then discuss. For this reason I know few people are on the look out when to go get the water without stumbling upon a boss or a manager, because they take it as a harassment. This adds huge amount of stress and knocks the productivity. Workplaces with "we are big family" approach are the worse. This should be illegal.

That's fine, but ultimately how can you look down on people like Trump, Ajit Pai, or the CEO of Comcast? They're sacrificing ethical decisions for money, same as you.

Only difference is they're getting "fuck you" money and you're barely getting enough to buy a house. Kinda lame to sell out for so little IMO.

As long you don't complain about these types of people, then whatever, but if you do you need to take a harder look in the mirror!
Were these cards affected? Were there any official notices from authorities?

Even if not affected, it would be nice to hear an official comment.

I was discussing this with someone from Belgium and we agreed that silence from the Belgian government meant only one thing: nobody used the service. (Specifically: Belgian cards are the older Gemalto generation, thus not affected, like the older Estonian IDs.)

I like the approach of Chromebooks. Safe and secure in its default state. Can switch to "dev mode" which gives you a less secure but much more open system. And then can open the case, remove the write-protect screw, and have a fully open system. If any problems develop, or you simply want to go back to a locked-down secure state, you can very easily reset the machine to it's original configuration.

My personal approach to the problem is multiple devices. Linux laptop and Windows desktop for my open systems. iPhone and Chromebook for when I don't want to worry.

Ah, ok, so your point was that we really don't know for sure that the pyramids (or, at least, the Kufu one) is as old as we believe, because the dating that has been done is somewhat dubious, and you are hoping it is much older?

My point doesn't really go against this, just that it may be more practical to look at what we already have access to, but is largely not translated.

Also, since we have dated many other Egyptian artefacts, we can assume that the civilisation is that old (but of course, the pyramids could have pre-dated them). If they did find any artefacts with writing in the chamber and it is much older than when we believe the pyramids were built, I wouldn't be surprised if the artefacts contained Akkadian or Sumerian cuneiform anyway ;-)

There's no root builtin, use Magisk with the Hide feature to prevent it from being detected by banking apps and such - even apps using the rather nasty SafetyNet work.

With that said, I highly question why any banking app would check root, mine doesn't and it seems to me like even if it did I could still use their website on my phone while rooted or my Windows machine with no sandboxing whatsoever. Requiring it just for the app seems pretty damn pointless.
Because the contract is voluntarily entered and the penalties for breaching it are purely financial.

The answer is simple. Regarding technology, _most_ people are still in the 1980s.

More than anything, this is proof that tech industry salaries are on average _way too low_. Stop working for peanuts. Let them go back to pen and paper. Let their corporations collapse. Demand to be paid what you're all worth.
That makes sense if both parties in the debate has a valid, thought out but opposite argument.

This is not that case.
The trouble is not in finding a solution that works on desktops for Linux, macOS and Windows -- we have that already 10 times over.

What is needed is a protocol which can be targeted by the average JS UI framework creator. It needs to be fairly light weight, and exist mostly as a layer below any sort of framework. If that's X11, so be it, but I haven't seen it running in a browser before.

One such use case would be a JS library which handles the protocol at a fairly low level, allowing someone to create a custom ReactJS renderer which targets the protocol instead of the DOM. Hook up a protocol receiver in your favourite native language, and now you've got native UI driven by React + JS.

No need to hand over things?

Correct. Remember ROLES are made redundant, not people. If the role no longer exists then by definition there's nothing to handover.

If there is a handover then there better also be a big chunk of cash to the departing worker in return for waiving the right to sue, because if there isn't, it's tribunal time.

Unravelling the tangled web
I have no idea what prompted this reaction or an accusation of trolling.
I worked from home for five years, and just this week started back into a job where I commute to an office. I don't love the commute, but I also don't agree that working from home is a universally better answer for me on a personal level.

Everyone knows the benefits of working from home, but there are downsides as well. Fixable downsides, but they exist nonetheless -- it is easy to become a hermit. Easy to over-work. Hard to draw the line between your work time and your personal time. Easy to get siloed into your current job, while not keeping up with the rest of the company and enabling career growth. Easy to let poor communication habits turn into real problems. And when your entire company works from home, as mine did, you develop a culture of acting like there is no better choice, and the benefits of your personal flexibility at home outweigh any problems at work... causing people to not fight very hard to fix problems, and to stay in those jobs longer than they should because of how comfortable the working situation is.

Now, all of those things can be handled if you have personal discipline, good co-workers, and great leadership. But not all teams can truly claim those qualities. So I feel both working environments have their good and bad sides, and the choice of which situation to pursue is a question that needs to be answered with some solid contextual information about the team, the culture, and your personality to know which one is truly best for any specific individual at any specific job.

"Working remotely requires the participants to be much more communicative because in such a setting communication for the most part doesn't just happen serendipitously, you have to work to make it happen. "

Yes. Having managed remote teams and being a remote dev, it's all about response time. If someone slacks you, the response should be as quick as if it were verbal in the office. If it takes 2 hours to get a response out of someone - then they are not participating correctly on a remote team. The team should work in a way they can all be online at the same time so communication can flow freely. If someone is interrupting you and you need concentration just explain it to them - like you would in the office.

Immediate responses is a remote team. Day long responses is contract work. Week long responses is open source projects and government work.
> When people say that they can't communicate as well with someone who isn't in the same room that doesn't necessarily mean that a remote setup doesn't work. It could simply mean they're just lazy and not willing to adjust to a different kind of work environment.

I can't work out if you're trollling or not.

You realise, that "100 million" figure is just taken from the deaths that occurred under Communist regimes, not as a deliberate consequence of their actions.

Also, you're equivocating on Capitalism and Communism with the idea in the former case, and one particular implementation in the latter.

By "Communism" you mean "regimes that called themselves communist". If, more honestly by capitalism you meant, "regimes that called themselves capitalist" then we would start including Vietnam, Iraq, etc. etc. etc.

And you're equivocating on "collectivism" by which you mean the both, say, Mao's agricultural policies and there being groups that have leaders.

Businesses are collectives. Capitalism, as trade between businesses, is a mostly collectivised system.

Humans goals are foundationally composed of all those which follow from their identity: as they conceive themselves as being part of a group, and as they conceive of their identity free of any membership.

This gives rise to nations, businesses, universities, football teams, etc. AND to personal projects, individual enterprise, and so on.

The difference between communism-in-practice and capitalism-in-practice has nothing to do with the existence of groups, but rather the political power structures which surround those groups: all communist regimes were dictatorships.

The difference between capitalism-in-theory and communism-in-theory has, again, nothing to do with the existence of groups -- but what (economic) rights you take to be fundamental.

>All of the mass death and destruction of the world is caused by collectivism,... the mixed economy of the United States.

The mixed economy is currently the main system preventing mass starvation due to poverty in the US. Capitalism, from the start of the Dustbowl and the Great Depression until the intervention of the government with the New Deal, failed to prevent death and displacement for hundreds of thousands of people despite a severe overproduction of basically every kind of foodstuff, because it simply didn't make anyone any money to do so.

The free exchange of goods produced under holdover ownership from mercantile and colonial times, including the ability to withhold that exchange of necessities, is a moral evil. It is inadmissible to let people starve because it is not profitable to give them food, but that is what capitalist thought mandates.

One good anecdote deserves another. I've been a remote worker continuously for several years. While getting together physically for brief high-intensity sessions can be great for productivity, I've found that being with others continuously even through long low-intensity periods has the opposite effect. Most of my work requires focus more than anything, and the interrupt/distraction load associated with colocation destroys that focus. Most of the other full-time long-term remote workers I've known have made similar observations. Being alone all the time might be sub-optimal, but so is being with others all the time (especially for introverts).

From the FAQ:

Q) "Wait, on their FAQ page I see that they don't want to include the patch for security reasons. Is this ROM unsafe?"

A) "No. LineageOS' developers hide behind the "security reasons" shield, but in reality they don't care enough about the freedom of their users to risk to upset Google by giving them an alternative to the Play Services... Moreover, to further strengthen the security of our ROM, we modified the signature spoofing permission so that only system privileged apps can obtain it, and no security threat is posed to our users."

This is such a petulent attitude towards what sound like well-founded objections to the outright spoofing of Google signed apps that I'm just plain out already.

Also, using the phrase "no security threat is posed to our users" in ANY context is blindingly arrogant, and pretty irresponsible to boot.
