I just wrote a Device Tree Overlay for a Real Time Clock module on FreeBSD RPI3. There is something to be said for PNP hardware.

Who would imagine that the computer industry would go so far back in time as to leave off the RTC.

Oh but wait they added Bluetooth and Wifi. Yet no system time.
Still waiting for a PCIe bus as well...
Guess I need some more of that koolaide they are drinking.
I don't think that's really true. The difference between a quantum computer and a classical computer is that a classical computer can represent N states given N bits, whereas a quantum computer can represent 2^N states given N q-bits. However, this has a major caveat: you can never know the state of the system. You only get to measure one value at a time and you can never re-create or copy a previously obtained state.

Still, some clever people have figured out how to exploit this to achieve polynomial speedup on problems where certain properties of the problem are exploited to get around the limitation of measurement in a quantum system.
Fair enough, so it looks like he's got his KITAS. Bear in mind that's a significant hassle to get and can be quite costly with all the documentation needed. I have a friend who recently got his, as he needed to be the director of a company, and all up I believe it cost around USD$3500.
"Fake news" came into popular usage because Trump was using it to disparage critical real news. It's a dangerous phrase, trivially dismissing real news based on emotions and critically attacking propaganda based on facts.

Just call things as they are. News, lies, propaganda...
The problem is, Gnome 3 is way more of a "tablet" operating system than Unity turned out to be. I'd take a halfway point between Gnome 3 and MATE.
Hey everyone. I wrote the article, stumbled across this post. Thanks a lot for your feedback, I appreciate it.

I just wanted to take a moment to address some of the things that were written here.

Whataboutisms: The point isn't to divert, the point is to say that this is a problem that exists WITH net neutrality in place. The point is, the argument of free speech is being made a lot, and most of the arguments are overdramatic hypotheticals, all while freedom of speech is being shut down under Net Neutrality.

Our Instagram account: I know, it's shit-posty, but that's how you get people to like your IG account. I don't make the rules, people love shitty memes.

Anyhow, this article is just why I don't support net neutrality. I guess it can seem like hand-waving, but that's not at all what my intention was. I did as much research as I could on the matter, and I just didn't see enough that convinced me keeping broadband under title 2 was a necessity. I had been hearing a lot of arguments that didn't seem totally logical to me, so I addressed some of them as best I could.

Thanks again for the feedback!
I always upvote the interesting things, sometimes i strongly disagree with, but it bring an good reflexion, or simply another point of view.

I am surprised some people upvote comments just because they agree, should go facebook if you want that kind of social media.
Well at least it's started by Tim Draper so hopefully the material is legit and they get some good contacts.

I don't understand your position. Another small time blog has not used his VHS photo, Netflix has. Or more precisely, the production company behind the packaging.

There are professional standards and processes in place that require everyone in the chain to get paid for their work.
I am taking a week off work in Dahab, Egypt. It must be off-season, because most of the hotels and restaurants are empty, but it seems to have similar advantages. It's very inexpensive, a sizable semi-permanent population of foreigners, on the sea with good snorkeling and interesting places to walk nearby. There are very cheap flights from Europe to Eilat, Israel, although the Israelis charge you $25 USD as you leave over the land border.

Actually I was thinking of setting up a kind of very inexpensive live-in hackerspace, in the Ukraine perhaps, with workshops for metalwork, electronics etc. and a live-in fabricator. You could live there, study, work on projects, help others.
I just wish Gnome 2 was left as is and Gnome 3 would named Gnome Tablet Edition with those big useless buttons on a 27" screen where I click them with my mouse instead of my big fingers. When Unity was introduced, I learnt to use AwesomeWM (similar to i3) and even manually configuring it was a better experience then both Unity and Gnome 3. Alternatively, I used LXDE, which is simple enough for me.
What religion?
Can't you just install them side-by-side? Then after confirming "real" Gnome works, uninstall Ubuntu's Gnome. Or do they somehow conflict with each other?
What about Intel, AMD, Apple and Google? What computer do you use? Which phone?
Some Kickstarter projects are posted after the product is essentially built and just needs some finishing details. The line gets fuzzy there.

It's even more fuzzy when you consider beta customers for a software company. Heck, how about when I contribute information to Google Maps? Or give feedback and make feature requests for my accounting software?
I'd love to take YouTube's dominance down a notch, but it provides way more features.

Implementing each individual feature probably wouldn't be that difficult, but you'll end up replicating tons of functionality. If you're targeting an international audience, getting all the i18n/l10n stuff worked out is non-trivial.
Some of the leading teams actually are led by a female engine director.
Given his history I would expect him to be an extremely charming and charismatic person.
Agree, writing a blog post about how you are unemployed, and that NetFlix had $178 million dollar Q1 profits is not the correct way to go about this.

Write a formal letter, or even better hire an attorney and have them draft it for you. I'm sure $NFLX will be more than willing to pay out handsome royalties if indeed your story checks out.
Yeah, `game.py` would've been great!
Correct. The actual ruling was that the photos taken by the photographer (Ets-Hokin) were copyrighted.

> Rape and genocide and embezzlement also exist for a reason, and make sense to people who think a certain way.

> Something this author believes that most people (in our coastal bubbles) don't: that some cultures are better than others.

I think you can ask people in coastal bubbles about the rape and genocide cultures of various wars and embezzlement subcultures of various corporations. My money is on them saying those cultures are inferior.
What are the "sales periods"?

I can see what they're trying to address, but commerce is fickle and often times unpredictable.

What if I thought I saw an opportunity to do business but it turned out to be a bad judgement and now I have 20,000 count of something that isn't moving and I have better things to do than wait for the sale period and at least get half my money back and reinvest it in something else I think might turn a profit?

Maybe there is more to the law than the simple scenario you've laid out. Otherwise that seems stifling.
>Same reason it happened with Firefox: trying to attract more users.

The thing is that Linux users are self-selected power users. If you want something to just do your work, you'll stay with Windows or macOS (or whatever your computer came with).

And while I don't need the power of i3, I don't see why my desktop can't have a maximize button
> When this happens, statistically the closest driver will take X less time to get to you.

If everyone is spaced evenly around the place and there's no congestion, you need four times as many drivers to halve response times. For a while you get good gains per additional driver, but as the numbers increase the marginal benefit tails off. This means a new player with some capital can likely compete (and is probably what the grandparent meant by "saturation".)
> "Fake news" came into popular usage because Trump was using it to disparage critical real news.

No, it came into popular usage to refer to propaganda supporting Trump which closely followed what RAND Corp. labelled the “firehose of falsehoods” propaganda strategy used by Russia.

It was subsequently co-opted by Trump in the way you describe, but that's not how it came into popular usage.
Modifying dimensions is different than creating a derivative work.
For the tldr:

Zerotier seems to be an overlay network with a custom addressing layer above virtual L2 networks. There's also an appliance in the works that will presumably work as a "hardware vpn" type of gateway on your network. There's no easy setup for ssh access like ondevice.
Officially, perhaps, but our coastal bubbles clearly believe that current liberal democratic values and attitudes are superior.
In 17.10, Unity has better desktop scaling, performs better when doing a menu search, makes better use of screen space, has more advanced virtual desktop capabilities, has the best global menu on any linux desktop, and while isn't bug free is fairly predictable.

Gnome is very customizable, is more attractive looking on Ubuntu 17.10 out of the box, has better notifications, and doesn't generate the questionable error messages that Unity does.

That being said, it feels like replacing a Toyota with a Buick.
True Detective Season 1 is a very deep, nuanced study of exactly what you describe in the South.
Only perhaps the Senate Intelligence Committee probably knew, almost everyone else in Congress gets their news from the papers like us schmucks, unfortunately.

It’s a shame that the only major customers of our expensive intelligence community are various Executive Branch officials and the Senate & House Intelligence Committees.

Even moderate Democrats were sucked into the Iraq War. From my vantage as a random service member at the time, I thought it was unjustified, but I was light on the cable news and AM radio.
Gnome is the best non-unity desktop environment. Just not out of the box :)
Softbank has large stakes in Didi, they led a $2,000,000,000 round in Southeast asian rideshare Grab, and a $1,1,000,000 in Indian rideshare company Ola. That's all the big global rideshare companies, Masayoshi Son is in all of them.

In the developing world, you've got cities like Karachi, Pakistan, whose population grew 80% between 2000 and 2010, and now sits at 21 million people. There are dozens of other cities experiencing ridiculous growth rates like that.

Very few people own motor vehicles, Regional Governments have no chance of being able provide adequate transportation infrastructure. In Indonesia I once counted 21 people in a pick-up truck (16 in the back, 5 in the cab). There's a hodge-podge of small private transportation providers that move people around in these kinds of places, but the Big rideshare companies will sweep them aside as handily as traditional taxis were in the west.

Big Rideshare provides both sophisticated logistical oversight, and secure, accountable brokerage that little guys can't match. Rideshare's penetration into developing world is just getting started, and Softbank has it's fingers in every pie.
Allow me to recommend this book as well: 3D Math Primer for Graphics and Game Development https://www.amazon.com/Primer-Graphics-Development-Wordware-...

It helped me tremendously when I was into game development back in college. The math was always the biggest hangup for me. I'm in healthcare software now, so YMMV :)
Sorry, I wasn't clear. ISPs tend to have monopolies over specific areas orchestrated by an oligopoly that they have over the industry as a whole. Either way there isn't competition, and net-neutrality laws are necessary in this case for a free and open internet. Otherwise, if actual competition did exist, net-neutrality rules wouldn't matter so much.
I used a Google Images photo of cinema seats for a promotional graphic for a big media company a few years back. I did not seek permission as I had a looming deadline. I felt guilty, so I spent 2 hours in Photoshop altering the image significantly until it barely resembled the original.

I pushed pixels around in the fabric of the seats, changed colours, erased things and even then it formed only part of the graphic I made. I still felt a bit guilty, but I think I did enough.

In this case, the VHS tape is not significantly altered, it's clearly the photo from his blog. That's lazy. If you're going to rip off an image from Google images, at least push a few pixels around with clone stamp and healing brush to make it different and unrecognisable from original.
Do you ever prioritize the needs of family members over the average person on the street?

That's not to say it cannot be entertaining, at times, but there's also a lot of POHW: plain old hard work.
MATE has been by far the biggest distro for last 4 years
I read that Hillary Clinton was pushing for war in the case of Libya, so indeed this kind of policy seems to be institutionalized by now [1]. I wonder how that could happen, as the US didn't get any clear benefit out of the Iraq war, didn't she? By that point in time the consensus seems to have been that the war created a big mess and a big budget deficit, so how could it become institutionalized?

Without a working and well-funded criminal justice system, "Don't with me or my clan EVER" may be the best you can do, alas. As mentioned in another comment, if you're living in a U.S. inner city where talking to the police is taboo, similar conditions can develop.

"Irrationally" disproportionate responses to small problems ("display" in ape terms) may prevent worse problems and greater violence. It's not ideal, it's a fallback.

The important thing to notice is that he author isn't talking about retribution being wrong per se, but private vendettas. Justice is by its very nature retributive. You cannot show mercy if retribution is not the deserved and proper response to a crime. One difference the author alludes to between justice meted out by the state and private vengeance is that the latter is characteristic of blood feuds.
I feel for you. I have been in that position myself. I have not yet found a great solution. Over time and through several interviews I realized I was not being hired due to my age. I don't know if you are in a protected class, but perhaps you are. We need some kind of blind hiring practices to become the expected standard because illegal discrimination is rampant in tech jobs. It leaves those of us with ample skill unemployed for no good reason and with no access to a strategy that has any hope of working. I'm open to ideas...
What's the criteria for this list? I mean, why aren't more recognizable companies such as Tesla, Google, Apple, in it?
The fiduciary duty of care solves the problem of advisors having mixed or divided loyalties and motives for clients wondering about why this or that product is being recommended. The simple answer is that the advisor is legally required to act on your behalf — period. If they do not, there's full recourse in the courts.

Competence is a qualitatively different problem and has different solutions. Usually, one would look for past experience, performance, and educational credentials to gauge competence in those they hire.

I do agree that the more educated client, the better. But, personally, I can only have domain expertise in so many areas, and I only have so much time. Outsourcing is a logical strategy.
And what happens when the prices get jacked up? Ideally (perhaps too optimistically) new competitors will arrive on the newly competitive market.

If the loss-leading is unsustainable then it hardly needs to be discouraged, and if it's sustainable it's not really loss-leading. (If it's funded by some other venture with higher margins, like AWS, other players can compete in that market without the albatross of having to maintain the cross-subsidies.)

Greybeards who still used SunOS because they didn't like the Mac/Windows way of doing things.

It enables things like:

1. Found a web tutorial on how to do something in *nix with a bunch of shell commands interspersed between paragraphs? Keep a small terminal open in a corner on top of the fullscreen browser, read the article and actually click-and-select commands and then copy-paste in the terminal by just moving your mouse back and forth between the applications.

2. Looking at a scanned PDF and want to do a bit of math to confirm the numbers you're reading? Load up a calculator and type into it when the mouse is hovering over, go back to scroll the PDF. Easy peasy.

Basically by separating the actions of window positioning from using it, you can actually use more than just fullscreen windows one at a time.
The National Enquirer May Get Time Magazine
If the US is preaching a human rights message, it is entirely undercut by hypocrisy. I would argue that advocacy by the United States actively harms efforts to advance human rights in many parts of the world, because the US so transparently fails to practice what it preaches. This hypocrisy and selective attention deprives the term "human rights" of any universal value and turns it into a political weapon.

The message is clear. You need to sign the human rights convention that we drafted, but we don't need to ratify it because our domestic laws are perfectly sufficient. You can't torture your citizens, but we can extraordinarily render them to black sites and have someone torture them for us. You can't detain your political enemies without trial, but we can lock ours up indefinitely in Guantanamo. You can't interfere with our democracy through Facebook advertising, but we can riddle your government with CIA agents, abduct your president or bring about "regime change" by means of a "humanitarian intervention".

There's an entire Wikipedia article entitled "United States involvement in regime change". The list of democratically elected leaders who were replaced with tyrants with the full support of the US government makes for sobering reading. It's clear that there was never a point in US history where the bolstering of democracy abroad took precedence over US interests.

If you want to argue that the US is no worse than average, then I'm not going to argue too strenuously. If you want to claim that the US is a beacon of liberty and justice, I want to see some evidence. All I see is the banner of "human rights" being used as a cloak to protect US national interests and discarded whenever it's inconvenient.
I'm fairly certain that the opposite held true in reality. When the multi state lottery association decreased the is of winning the Powerball last year,sales went up a lot because of the lure of the $1B payouts.
Yup. IANAL, but Bridgeman Art Library v. Corel Corp provides clear precedent. He may get $5k in FU hush money or $0 to discourage others from emulating the behavior.
Given how well that works for YouTube at the moment, I'm not so sure that's a good idea.
I think https://www.uservoice.com/ can help in this case .

People can ask for feature request and others can upvote so that you can keep track of the feature that is asked by more number of people .
I don't think it's anything particularly to do with the users themselves but rather the difficulty of supporting both well without making one of the two groups suffer.
The End of the NFL?
Tricky semantic bits won't get you there. See also: the trolley problem and other interesting mental gymnastics to prove that others are less important than the ones that you know about. Eventually such thinking leads to wars.
The section of law you cite, makes clear that registration has to occur before filing suit, but does not have to occur before the infringing action. It's perfectly legal to register after you become aware of a potential infringement and then file suit.

So, if he hasn't previously registered the works in question, that's a procedural step that needs to happen before litigation, but not a barrier that would make him “pretty much out of look”.
> Ya but if a private company (Facebook, Google, etc) blocks dissenting opinions, we can simply chose to read/visit another site. That's the point. If your ISP blocks a site, you don't have the choice to get another ISP.

ISPs aren't the only kind of company that has high barriers to entry and tends toward a natural monopoly/duopoly.

There are only 2 major search engines (Google and Bing, DDG uses Bing), only 1 major video sharing site (and 2 minor sites), only a few messaging services, only 1 major link sharing site (HN is great but not competitive with reddit).

Worse, most of these services are owned by the same few big tech companies.

This (a Dual 2GHz PowerMac G5) was my first Mac. I remember buying with cash from summer jobs before heading to college in 2005 – I named it Jupiter.

The thing was a beast and I loved it. Two years later, I bought it a companion, the first Macbook Pro – named Mars. Later that summer, I bought the iPhone the day it came out for a cool $599 and named it Mercury.

These were all great products, and they inspired me to start the Mac Users Group at my university :)
> especially for a developing country

I’m not sure ‘developing country’ is the right term here, however I agree compared to Western European countries, most Eastern European countries aren’t quiet as ‘developed’ (disclaimer: I live in one) which I assume is what you meant to imply. Heck even Western/Eastern is bad, because Finland definitely isn’t in the west of Europe... So is there a better term to describe this type of country?
The following message is exactly why I finally gave up on F1:

"This video contains content from Formula One Management, who has blocked it..."

That is the message I got trying to watch the video embedded in the article.

The exclusivity and false sense of importance portrayed by F1 is just really lame, I feel like they go out of their way to make it hard to watch.

This coupled with the fact the actual racing has been boring and over regulated makes me glad I don't waste my time with F1 any more.
Moral Tribes, by Joshua Greene [0] has a more in-depth analysis of honor and other cultural attributes. You can find large geographical differences in the importance of honor within the US.

Cooperation also varies greatly around the world. Scores in a cooperation game (where you both win by cooperating) vary by an order of magnitude between countries. They are somewhat related, in that getting hosed by the other player in a cooperation game is merely annoying for a non-honor-oriented person, but humiliating for an honor-oriented person, so they're more likely to defect immediately. The article doesn't mention it, but that seems like the obvious mechanism for how thar causes poverty.

How to Enter the World of Modular Synths
“Eye for an eye” is part of the Mosaic law and simply defines the penalty for personal assault (to be carried out only as an order from a magistrate after a hearing).

It does not at all condone revenge. For his followers, Jesus explicitly forbade revenge (or using such laws as justification for revenge):

"You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.'
But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.“ (from Matthew 5 ESV)

Sports- or activity-based meetups tend to be the best of the bunch, as do expat gatherings when you have just relocated to a new country.
How so? It didn't especially focus on honor or vendettas, it was about cults, abuse, and a cover-up. Based in the South, yeah, but not getting the honor connection.
I still go to meetups.
