I think everyone is well aware of that. In a successful socialist state neither party elites or bureaucrats should exist. In a capitalist state or authoritarian system those are designed and necessary groups.

Most people's objections to socialism are exactly what socialism is attempting to remove. Lenin, Stalin etc. did a terrible job.

A 65-year-old New York City cab driver from Queens, Nicanor Ochisor, hanged himself in his garage March 16, saying in a note he left behind that the ride-hailing companies Uber and Lyft had made it impossible for him to make a living. It was the fourth suicide by a cab driver in New York in the last four months, including one Feb. 5 in which livery driver Douglas Schifter, 61, killed himself with a shotgun outside City Hall.*

The parent is pointing out that mass-energy is conserved. There's nothing that can produce it.
Yeah, it's not the same at all. I had an ex-employer that fired me multiple times, and came back to me to get forgotten passwords multiple times.

After a little soul-searching, and deciding I didn't want to harbor anger, I helped him with the ones I remembered each time.

Had I actually been hit by a bus, that wouldn't have been possible at all.

I'm sure that if I'd hit the lottery and gone to Fiji, I'd have been even more likely to help him with those passwords.

In the end, not-burning-that-bridge did help me earn more money as he hired me back several times, and I demanded more money each time until I was asking almost as much per hour as he was getting from his customers and he simply couldn't afford me.

There is nothing "shady" about the app except for that it uses analytics just like all the other million apps out there.
You also know where they live, where they work, when they are on holiday, when they are out taking a stroll in the woods... Even if you trust 'Facebook' with that data, do you trust a facebook employee?
The fact that you prefer one experience over another doesn't make it profitable, sustainable, preferable, safe, etc... I myself prefer Uber to cabs, but I'm under no illusions that without VC money subsidizing my experience there would be no Uber rides for me to prefer.
If Facebook and Zuckerberg cross the invisible line here -- and they may be doing that with this decision -- then political will is going to turn sharply against them. It wouldn't be at all surprising if their tax situation became dramatically worse shortly afterwards. It's basically free money for the government and free political points too.
On the other hand now we have a glut of black cars clogging the roads. I drove in the city during the last storm and it was glorious with all the Ubers off the streets.
We can't all be CEOs. To run a business you need people who work for you. Both employees and employers play an important role in the economy and both should be treated with respect.

Lack of wage growth also limits business creation. Most of us need some kind of reserve to start something. You can't start from absolutely zero while struggling to survive.
Sure, but every time you cross the street, you assume some risk. That's why little kids hold an adult's hand when they cross. And the risk is even higher if you're crossing the street at night. And it's even higher if you don't have a light, crosswalk, or stop sign to protect you.
Does 10.11 still get security and reliability updates?

As for 10.13. If an OS changes filesystem, its often recommended to wait (same with in the past e.g. FAT32 -> NTFS, Ext2FS -> Ext3FS, Ext3FS -> Ext4FS although IMO the latter two went flawless for me).

The reason I went for it -even though benchmarks of encryption + APFS specifically were abysmal compared to encryption + HFS+ whereas no encryption + APFS or no encryption + HFS+ were acceptable differences)- is because it was already tested on iOS.

Private-by-default is semi-dishonest. Many tx on Monero are owned by a few entities that are friendly with LE or may get hacked. Thus all those exchange tx or payment gateway tx that are on the blockchain are in practice transparent to the right people or with time. With Monero they give you a false sense of security with ZCash they are open that those tx are not going to help you.

[ShapeShift does 7-15% at least of Monero tx. Add in BitFinex Binance CoinPayments and some others and where we at?]

It's not just an issue with cheap headphones either. High quality wired headphones are expensive. getting the same quality in a wireless variation will easily increase the price twofold. The problem is even worse if like me you prefer in-ear to headphones. Those are basically not even available in wireless versions not to mention a nice balanced armature headphone is bulky enough, adding a battery isn't going to make that better.

Additionally I've never had connection trouble with wired headphones which is bound to happen with wireless headphones.

In my opinion wireless headphones aren't better in any way shape or form. They fill my needs poorly.

An ICO is not an exit: Build a business
There are two things I don't like here:

- the author seems to call out specific individuals, by name, to their team leads, based on where they were ssh'd in, instead of bringing up the issue with that person first and asking for the logic of why they were on the box doing the thing (sounds like a lot of assumptions combined with finger pointing)

- it sounds like there's no well-configured monitoring or observability at the DC/rack/machine level involved, at all, which is surprising in a modern enterprise setup
Someone long time ago registered an facebook account for my email. I've reset password and, what I though, deleted the account, but it never expired because someone was trying to login and reset passwords again and again and again. So yep, it's kind of known behavior for many years.
In theory https://www.gimp.org/downloads/devel/ , but it currently says "Note: the currently available package provides GIMP 2.9.8 and has not yet updated to the lastet version, GIMP 2.10.0-RC1. We're working on that, please check back later."
Ownership is bad because of this mentality "at least this is something which no one can take away from me".

If you look at countries like India, people blindly invest in Home and it has a big reality market.

In many places, the monthly cost of servicing a home >> the monthly rent you would pay for equivalent housing. But still, new houses are continuously being built.

If the general public did not have this mindset, no one would make their own home if you can get the equivalent of rent for the far lower price.

I believe subscription economy is more efficient and results in the more efficient use of natural resources.

It is very unclean, especially since it requires conventional fission reactors to produce the tritium. It’s theoretically possibl to breed tritium in the reactor blanket of the fusion reactor, but that’s a totally unsolved problem. The high neutron flux of the D-T reaction also destroys all known materials in short order by disrupting the atomic structure of the materials through atomic spallation. There are plenty of other hurdles to making a fusion power plant as oppposed to just a research reactor, but those are big ones.
It's called a failsafe. The failure mode should be the safest option; which is for the car to stop or slow until the human driver takes over.
> Did you stop to think that perhaps GIMP's developers are in fact its users?

GIMP's users aren't the handful of developers who develop GIMP. GIMP's users would be people that switch to Linux and are looking for an alternative to Photoshop. GIMP is for some reason referred to them as the go-to for image manipulation on Linux so they try it, and when they can't use it they either install Photoshop via Wine or go back to Windows.

I don't know why people recommend GIMP instead of Pinta or more usable software, honestly.

GIMP (and other similar OS projects) is for everyone else, who wants to do light image editing in an amateur setting without having to pay a large amount for it

Except that isn't really true either. If you want to do "light image editing in an amateur setting" GIMP is massive overkill, and there are plenty of easier to use tools. GIMP lives in a strange limbo between not 'light' enough for light work and not heavy enough for 'heavy' work.

In all seriousness, this is the crap that many company types buy. What they won't be is an easy and straightforward explanation of what it actually is. You want extra points in a meeting? Just tell them you're integrating that quote for increased utilization of all structured experience parameters. 99.4% utilization. And you think next quarter you can get that up to 99.6% — and of course, something about how it's free. They already know they don't fully understand, and they don't want to be reminded. what they want is to feel they're speaking the same language. It's crap, but its necessary in industries that aren't necessarily that involved in the tech or design.
On a macro scale, those kinds of questions have given rise to a lot of the social progress we've experienced in the last century.

In the future, you'd expect a mature theory of mind to give direction to psychologists or neuroscientists. A rough analogy would be the way theoretical physicists interact with experimental physicists and chemists. It's difficult to create the experiment or speculate about a reaction without a point to jump from. In the same way, a psychologist looks to philosophy to ask "what are the most important questions to people, and how might that reflect in how they behave?"
Interesting how the "correct" business decision often deviates from what we feel is morally responsible.

Especially because a Volvo plowed into a pedestrian almost a year ago:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbW2UgmjJUA

IIRC it was discovered this happened because the owner hadn't purchased the "Pedestrian Avoidance Package".

And shortly before that, a Volvo plowed into a parked truck (in a demo):

https://youtu.be/aNi17YLnZpg

This was "was the result of an earlier flat battery that temporarily disabled the system due to low voltage" [0]

The pattern here is not only due to the collision systems themselves, but to the system around the collision avoidance system.

> I wonder if regulators will just decide the split up facebook.

I keep hearing this suggestion and it makes no sense. Split into what? It would be like asking to split Google into one company doing the search and another one doing the ads. You're talking about loss leader strategy here and you cannot have a company whose only product is a loss leader. Majority of users won't pay to have search or social network. They value their privacy much lower and would trade it to get the services without direct monetary compensation.
That's one of the most important points that most of the statistics miss.

Are you aware of how CO2 is used by plants? that's a "hidden" benefit of the large-scale use of fossil fuels.

At current CO2 levels plants are starved for CO2. At 150 ppm there would be a massive extinction of land-based plant life.
Sorry for the delayed response.

I interpreted the text of your comment:

"or that there are distinctions between firearms companies at all."

as saying most in the protests were unaware that there were differences between firearm manufacturers. Not that they would be familiar with what the specific differences were.

I think the vast majority of people know that there are differences between firearm manufacturers. I think you're quite correct in the claim that many activists may not be aware of what those specific differences are.
Current fusion reactors require more energy put into them to start and maintain the fusion reaction than is harvested from the actual fusion reaction. Better superconductors means it will take much less energy to start and maintain fusion and thus the reactors should produce energy rather than consume it. It doesn't break the laws of thermodynamics since the energy produced is from fusing hydrogen into lower energy state helium, just currently we use more energy than the process produces to make it happen.

It's a bit of a dilemma, isn't it. I would love an alternative to Photoshop or Affinity that actually offers the same features and has a nice UI (let's be real, it's something most free applications really lack... and the look and feel of the software I'm using has high priority for me) but those who actually want these things aren't the ones developing, and the ones developing apparently don't place a lot of importance on it.

We really need more interdisciplinary developers and free software enthusiasts. I know I'm already working on it as an artist-turned-coder :D

I hope so. My concern is that it is hard to define what a political ad is sometimes. For example, if you have an ad that claims that some specific ethnic group gets food stamps more than another, is that a political ad? Because those are the kinds of ads that Russia was buying.
Senior sysadmin here, and I agree this is one of the most common methods. I have also had great success tying in the ossec or pam module notifications into syslog messages that all go to the central syslog (nsyslog/rsyslog etc) server. The problem with the elk and similar stacks imho is lack of security and speed. Things this old school setup doesn't have a problem with. The problem is that too many managers don't like not having gui dashboards... which is why splunk et al have really taken off.

This re-enforces my idea that a purely terminal based business dashboard might be a cool product with a fairly large market. I've been eyeballing some of the go/ncurses work for this.
>Jordan Peterson is a believer in the New Religion, the one where God is the force for good inside each of us, and all religions are equal paths to wisdom, and the Bible stories are just guides on how to live our lives.

It's hard to take a reviewer seriously when they make a statement like this, that is blatantly untrue ("all religions are equal paths to wisdom"). Peterson is known to be very critical of Islam, and has gone as far as saying that it's incompatible with western values (paraphrasing).
Once upon a time they made damn good NICs.
No, the market will determine an efficient wage, not a fair one.

The efficient wage often means the cost of someone who doesn't pay tax or insurance, sleeps in his car or in a dosshouse, parks on residential streets near airports, littering them with food wrappers and bottles of piss, and takes coke, meth or qat to work longer shifts in the undermaintained car he rents from the mafia. In this case medallions are a (bad) way of enforcing all the other types of regulation which are necessary.

Does oracle have a case or not? If you were Oracle, would you be ok not taking this to court?
I mostly agree with the sentiment of the article. However, it's a shame for its entire focus to be on the cab industry. Driverless cars are coming, and coming soon, those cab driver hours could likely be cut to zero. Unfortunately, the economy changes and people need to adapt. The horse shoeing industry took the same toll when then car was invented.

That's not to say the article doesn't have merit. There are a ton of other industries ripe for disruption by the gig economy. Platform providers need to think deeply about how this could affect the lives of those relying on them for work. Hopefully, going so far as to ensure a decent live wage, and plausible options for health and other benefits.

The internet was partially built to facilitate these types of working relationships. It is up to us to define how these relationships should play out in practice, to ensure everyone involved is able to live an acceptable quality of life.

Facebook Container Extension: Take control of how you’re being tracked
I thought it was death, getting fired, or quitting.
Facebook was a gift and a curse for introverts.

I signed up for Facebook my freshman year of college, 2005. For someone in a new place who wasn't very good socially, it allowed me to meet all sorts of people at college through chatting online (something I was already very comfortable with thanks to things like AIM and Yahoo messenger). Used to be that you could search for keywords among people at your college, so it was great for meeting people with similar interests. People were much more open online then, be it willingly or just for the fact that having a private account just wasn't an option at the time.

But it also became a crutch, and I (and perhaps many others) started to use it as my primary means of meeting and interacting with people. I never did very well developing real world social skills to meet people in person and build up that confidence that college is the perfect environment to foster.

Now I'm 30, and also recently moved to a new, unfamiliar place. And while I'm "okay" socially, I feel like had I just shut the damn computer off in college and forced myself to build up that social network in real life, I'd be more comfortable and confident in my abilities to meet cool people in person today.
