That's what you get if the tool can't identify the ME version. (I get "not vulnerable" if I run the script with sudo -- ME version too old for these vulns, though likely has other, undisclosed vulns -- but without sudo, I get "may be vulnerable", since it can't talk to the kernel driver.)
In America, we have a concept where only the Judicial branch can interpret the laws. So, Congress passes a law, those laws sometimes give agencies like the FTC regulatory powers- but only a judge can interpret the laws to ultimately decide what those regulatory powers are.

In this case, a judge will need to look at the laws passed by Congress, any relevant regulation (and if that regulation was legally authorized by Congress), and determine if this merger would violate those laws.

Firefox keeps getting less and less usable for me. I'm considering switching to chrome for the first time in a while.

Things that bother me on desktop developer edition:

* no usable mouse gestures extension
* constantly changing UI
* hid really useful things like file/edit/history/bookmarks/tools menu behind
holding alt button on Ubuntu.
Pretty sure that whole menu will be gone soon.
* it's impossible to clear for example last week, last month etc of browsing data (not sure if you could do it before).
In fact, I'm not sure if I can clear cookies but not site history anymore after spending 5 minutes in the settings.

* tree-style tabs turned into something unusable
* getting rid of all the rare extensions that worked previously and are no longer supported by the original author
* tons of greasemonkey userscripts broken
* greasemonkey a lot less usable now (still can't figure out how to write a custom script from scratch)

Android (Mobile) Quantum takes forever to load pages. As in 5x-10x longer than Android Chrome. Some things like videos from twitter simply don't load at all. Some websites no longer load. Cannot enter data into some text boxes. But don't take my word for it: https://www.androidauthority.com/mozilla-firefox-quantum-and...

Unfortunately, on desktop I'm stuck between this new FFX and Vivaldi. On mobile, I already switched to Brave even though it's terrible because you can't easily google for selected text or select a part of a paragraph easily.
It was a mistake, has been fixed and wasn't causing problems for six years.
You can't inspect websocket frames. It is a tiny quibble in the face of big amazing improvements. But it is a thing (and is why I still use chrome primarily for development), and the extension used to patch this in to the devtools broke in the big extensions change.

They are very large, very heavy, and completely obstruct physical access to the patient, and the patient's access to anything outside the lung. All this doesn't make them useless, or even obsolete, but it seems obvious why something more convenient may be desired.
Sounds like you should try really hard to:

1) Not hire someone that is going to argue about every single decision

2) Fire them if you get to the case of 1.

I have worked with quite a few "arguers" in my day. They all made good points. I am sure they were often right. But when it was 1v5 on the team for a particular decision, and our scrum master was making us having meetings for hours to resolve a stylistic difference that only 1 person agreed with.. blah. I cannot think of a better way to kill morale of an otherwise good team.

Sure in an ideal world, the team would work together and make decisions. If it's not working and one guy is sticking out over and over.. it's time to cut your losses. I have never seen a construction crew where one bricklayer would refuse to lay bricks a certain way, because he read a blog that another way is better. Sometimes you just need to put your head down and do the task, not make an argument about it.
Formr Facebook employee:FB cares more about data collection than protecting user
mikestew has some good points, but flashing back a bit further to 87/88 is also illustrative.

The original PC was released in 1981, followed in 1984 by the PC AT. One of the things the PC AT was supposed to do is bring multitasking and larger (>640K) RAM - mostly thanks to the 80286 processor. The trouble that there wasn't a mainstream OS that used all of the 80286's capabilities until OS/2 came out in 87/88. At that point in time, OS/2 was both the solution to some long-term problems in the PC space and the annointed successor to DOS by the IBM/Microsoft pair that led the PC market at the time.

For a whole range of reasons, OS/2 turned out to be expensive to buy/run and incompatible with most of the software people actually ran. The market therefore kept its momentum mostly behind DOS until August 1990's release of Microsoft Windows 3.0. Microsoft had an internal skunk works project that brought 80286-specific features to Windows, but in a way that was more compatible with DOS and cheaper than OS/2. (Despite some technical limitations.) That's when Microsoft took a risk, and pivoted away from IBM and OS/2 and towards a Microsoft Windows specific strategy. It paid off for them and the rest is history.

I know it can be tedious, but if you don't trust a piece of free software you have the opportunity to analyze its source code and decide for yourself if it's ok for your use case.

Also, it's debatable whether `man -w` without further arguments is standard usage, since it's clearly an incomplete command (that should return nonzero, but that's another story).

I've had a fair share of this crap myself being the team lead at the time. I didn't go yelling at the dev for not understanding that my contract said team lead and the CTO failed to communicate that role or giving me the opportunity to communicate it. I spoke with the CTO and asked him to clarify the roles and gave him a clear choice. He decided against clear communication and I decided to take more money elsewhere.

The problem is oftentimes not the individual being insubordinate. Oftentimes the issue is that Roles and Responsibilities are not clearly defined.

This is especially an issue when one of previous colleagues on the same level is promoted to the higher ranking position. It's an even more common issue in big corp and govt. institutions.

> Implicit tasks are not always common sense.

There is no such thing as implicit tasks. There are implicit tasks, when you sit in your garage and found a company and one guy is a marketing wiz and the other a rockstar dev. You might even have a well working symbiosis then. Everything beyond that needs to(at least some extent) be defined.

> Lead: This is not a choice. I am telling you to do this.

> Teammate: You need to convince me.

I think the teammate's at least half right on this one. Nobody does anything without wanting to do it. If you want somebody to do something, you do need to convince them. If they'll do it just because you say they have to, they're still probably harbouring some resentment about it, which won't work out well in the long term anyway.

At least this guy was big enough to stand up for what he believed in.

Have you ever taken a week to mostly watch Al Jazeera or BBC or France 24 or CGTN or even RT? If you did, you might reconsider the blind certainty you evince here. This is one reason it's good to live overseas for a time: the corporate-state-approved media can't get you there, mostly.
Key question: how are you going to handle things when you know you're right but the team/lead votes the other way?

Some folks, once they know what is right, will never do anything but that. Avoid these people. Some folks are so apathetic they agree to anything. Avoid these people too.

There's an old phrase "Strong opinions, lightly held". Have good and powerful reasons for the viewpoints you own. Defend them -- at length if necessary -- and passionately argue the merits of your view.

But at the same time, get a grip. Your job as a professional is to both have strong opinions about quality and to be able to dance to whatever song is playing. At some point, sure, the environment could be so bad that you should take a walk instead of staying and putting up with it. That's one of the values they hired you for. But whether or not to have a private variable is not that point.

ADD: I think this is just as important, more important, actually for leads and managers as it is for workers. We model the behavior we want to see. If you're hard-headed and have a take-no-prisoners attitude, or if you're apathetic and jaded? Your reports see that. They copy it.

That works in a large hub like Prague, where fiber is present. In the US, NYC Mesh would be one. The issue is that for many communities within the United States, fiber is not available at all. There is a single ISP, usually Comcast or Verizon, and they have implemented data caps. The cost of running fiber would be prohibitively expensive even for a group of people, and you can be sure Comcast would use every legal tactic to fight, like they did with Google Fiber.

Your latter sentence is a great idea, except that in the US, we had a court decision known as Citizens United (notorious Republican double speak) that essentially made money into speech. Many of these issues now pit small communities with limited funds versus large internal companies with nigh limitless resources.
The Belarus officials like to play with the numbers to get money from different foreign organizations.

Based on this and your other comments, it sounds like you're suggesting running the entire Internet on a cryptographic protocol like onion-routing. Am I right?

This still isn't a practical solution to the problem at hand. Most people want to watch a lot of streamed video, which isn't doable over a Tor-like network in the foreseeable future. Also, it would be impossible to get the support of the internet giants, without which I don't know how you could do this. They've invested a lot into being able to see and analyse almost everyone that's using their service.

It broke web experience for me. I write userscripts / extensions for most websites I frequent, and almost none work anymore. Granted, it's because Greasemonkey decided to break backward compatibility, but that was triggered by this move to a new extension model.

I tried to think forward, and proactively convert my greasemonkey scripts to new style FF extensions a few months back, to avoid dependency on GM. But abandoned that after it became clear that I'm not allowed to install my own extensions on regular Firefox, because of forced thir-party signing requirement. I have no need for signing. I could create an extension by zipping a directory. Now the workflow is 1000x more complex with all the crap loaded from npm required to sign it.

My web experience is s*it, ATM.

Firefox is great anyway. But it is power user hostile in some aspects too. Personal extensions/userscripts are central to my use of the web. So this is all quite annoying, since signing was enforced. And now even my userscripts broke with 57, as expected.
My mind went to the Black Flag song, so the reference was lost on me.
Tutorial: How to set up MongooseICE (ICE/TURN/STUN server)
Ah, sorry about that. You're right to collapse the whole thread.
Only the BBC fits, as it is also government controlled. The others may sometimes publish shill articles or whatever but they are not a government run propaganda arm. We don't have such a thing in the US, as NPR has lost almost all of its government funding. The US government runs media operations in other countries but none of our big media companies are government run like RT.

And the fact that we just elected freakin' Trump helps underline the fact that the US is not yet a dictatorial country. So the comparison between Russia Today and any US media is pretty ridiculous on that level as well. Our media has plenty of flaws (answering to corporate sponsors instead of the government has its own drawbacks), but again, they are not comparable to RT.
Have all the fun :) While I steadily get rich. I hope they'll make an extension for "fiat money to food on table" when this whole corrupt financial systems comes crashing down (again).
Something about using the word 'insubordination' and linking to a dictionary definition that defines it as "not submitting to authority" and [being] "disobedient" really rubs me the wrong way.

Authority etc. are implied of course, in a team structure where there is a lead (and others are not), but if you told me to "obey your authority" in so many words, I would have a problem complying very easily.
edit :

sorry, this was what I was looking for,

- Operating systems: 6.828. Operating systems

I mainly did the labs. In 6.828, you program a full OS kernel (JOS, based on provided source code). In 6.824, one project was a user-space distributed file system in C++, another was a distributed reliable key-value store in Go.

I agree that the course material is hard to follow without external help but it's definitely doable. They have automatic grading scripts and the labs are progressive.

I disagree. Team leads are chosen for a reason and when they clearly ask for a task, it needs to be done without the wasted effort of having to convince them.

> If it's so easy, why didn't the lead just do it himself instead of making a problem out of it?

It's called delegation. If there are 15 easy tasks, a team lead can delegate them out using his or her judgement and have them completed quicker than doing it themselves. If each of those easy tasks has to go through a "convincing phase" it's no longer worth it.
