Not all all, Linux is the culture of command line, where people improving UI/UX on GNOME/KDE always get bashed as taking the power away doing irrelevant work.

There is not a single cohesive stack of desktop technologies, what macOS calls Kits, Android frameworks, Windows UWP and such.

Something like Glade still fails short of what XCode or VS Blend are capable of.

Sure there is something like Qt QML designer, but that isn't Linux specific anyway.

Things Your Wedding Guests Secretly Wish for – A2zWeddingCards
I don’t think that’s true with Google Analytics: the ToS there already prohibits you from storing personal data in it, so there are theoretically no GDPR implications if you’re doing it properly (e.g. /edit-account rather than /[username]/edit-account)
ISO Prolog (ISO/IEC 13211) doesn't have a free standard and it has hurt the Prolog language immeasurably. In this case the last freely available draft is quite different from the final standard, which makes the situation worse because not everyone is aware of this.

I have noticed a lot of Prolog programmers don't know what's in the standard and what's not - you routinely see answers given on SO that are implementation dependent when they could easily have been expressed in strictly conforming ISO Prolog.

Of course, you can get pirated versions of ISO/IEC 13211-1 and 13211-2 but even saying these exist probably makes me complicit in piracy, let alone suggesting they should be widely shared in the Prolog community. The 3 technical corrigenda that update 13211-1 are freely available[0], or at least ISO allows you to "Preview" the whole document in each case.

The exact quote by Thomas Jefferson was: "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants."[0][1]

Though, if the hired guns that enforce and enable their corporate/cultural owners, to silent the voices of societies dissenters and the marginal in various forms, cannot see the roles they play (albeit, indirectly at times, perhaps blinded by their own incentives, maybe this is the lethargy Jefferson talked about), then I will not be surprised to see things to continue to escalate.

Plenty of soft targets abound that corporate and cultural owners rely on for dominating the public for their own ends.

No but the fact that this is the first outage in 20 years could indicate that mainframes still have their place if you need 100% reliability.

Which makes plans of banks to move core systems from mainframes to the cloud even more worrying.
EU laws can totally apply to US corporations or citizens. It may not be enforceable however. (The US has a good history of applying their laws on non-US citizens, just check who has been sued over copyright violations)
You should read up on browser fingerprinting (https://panopticlick.eff.org/), they're still tracking you.
You can't generalize residency like that. It depends.

In the EU laws on residency are different for each member state.

You become US tax resident based on the significant presence test without presenting any proof

You become a legal permanent resident in the US when you get a green card.

Proof of residency is only required in US states that follow REAL ID act which California only started conforming to this year.

Big Weight Loss Linked to Relationship Changes
Wow, that's the best/worst thing I've read in a long time. Imagine you'd have to maintain code using those without knowing it..
OP... I was simplifying.

I don't know the real number for the economy as a whole, but the experience I do have (mostly in the higher risk/cost "card-not-present" scenarios) actual transaction costs are always higher than they seem at first glance.

For example, retailers bear the majority of fraud risk. Add that in, and the cost of anti-fraud.. it adds up. Then there's the consumer side, where users "pay" fees, pay interest rates..

My point is that all these digital payment (including the paper-originally CCs) tend to become bottlenecks and oligopolies. Banks, CCs, gateways.. all tend to centralisation, regulation and low competition. All the ingredients for price inflation.

Moore's law is about constant doubling times of number of affordable transistors in semiconductor photolithography.

GPUs are obviously subject to that, especially if you look at the affordable part.

Moore's law scaling has been over for about three years, few people noticed.
I don't think it's for certain, but anyone who has ever implemented Runge-Kutta on an n-body problem knows that simulating a "simple" system can be very not simple. Accurately simulating a chaotic system over a time t requires \Omega(t) memory because of Lyapunov doubling. As such I think any long-term simulation of the Universe would require new physics or be subject to error. The errors might be impossible to detect from within the system but they're still "there" in a formal sense. New physics could include a "pixellated universe" which has the same errors, or something else.
Seems so, but the EU business has to treat all citizens under the GDPR, regardless of nationality.

I wonder if this could be attractive? "By EU law, we won't sell your data" is stronger than an American company's promise.
And how do you suppose they would enforce this law on a US only company? An unenforceable law is no law at all.
Are there any plans to expand this to a European location?

I've asked about this before in another thread but didn't get anything useful for me. How can I get the benefit of being a EU resident, with respect to GDPR, while not physically being in the EU? What I'm asking for may probably sound like a fraudulent thing, but I value my privacy a lot, and if there are any steps I can consider to make myself come under GDPR (without moving to the EU), I'd like to know.

> If you don't know the future, how do you know if what you do will or won't matter in the grand scheme of things?

If you “know” that the grand scheme of things itself doesn't, and definitionally cannot, matter, then this isn't a problem.

Similarly, if you “know” that, whether or not you know what future events are, they are all determined and cannot be other than they are determined to be (or, equivalently, that every possible outcome will, in fact, be taken), then you can no that nothing you choose can matter in the grand (or even small) scheme of things, without knowing what will occur.

You seem to be more complaining about people who believe that there is fundamental meaning in existence, but that they are impotent with regard to achieving it, than actual (moral or existential) nihilists, who reject the existence of such meaning.

How do you figure? If you miss the target, you're still flying, come around for another pass.

If you hit the target with something other than your hook, then you crash, but just make the hook long enough that thats not a concern.
Thank you so much. I'm on the verge of framing this and putting it on the wall. Cubicle wall, but still.
Don't get me started on the UK and the ID card. It's stupidity at the highest level. There is a de-facto "ID", your national insurance number (like a social security number). Except it has no ID features, and cannot be changed. So much, much worse than an ID card. As far as practical ID for bars/clubs, people usually just use a driving license, or are forced to use a passport. Complete idiocy.

(However to get back onto topic, most people in the UK will have a passport, otherwise they should have a NINo allocated at birth. For the people who have neither, the GDPR is the least of their worries.)

What airlines do you fly with? Comp for hotel and food is paid but the EU comp is really hard to get. There's a reason that so many services specialise on getting that money for passengers for a fee.

My point 1 was about me. I like using cash.

Point 2 is.. I think your reasoning about cash costs relates to point 4. These kinds of costs are something that big, high turnover businesses are concerned with. I don't think a tiny, rural cafe cares too much that €190 of its €780 daily take is cash.
Does he still have that much cash? Would expect that SpaceX would have to cut if Tesla really needs money. I don't think Musk has much cash lying around that's not already in one of his companies.
One counter example would be Booking.com. It's a Dutch company through and through[0] and pays the vast majority of its taxes in the Netherlands. Yet at least one of the European competition (!) authorities has already tried to use GDPR as a means to try and prove wrongdoing before GDPR is even in effect.

This is to say: you don't have to be an American company to end up in the crosshairs of overzealous and downright populist regulators.

No, they track everyone across the web via their embedded pixels and create "shadow profiles." I have never joined Facebook, but they still know me. I block their tracking by blocking their various websites. I'm not sure that's enough as I understand they still buy data. In their defense, I don't think they sell my data, except perhaps to the NSA.

No. Basic bookkeeping. Equity = Assets - Liabilities. Assets can be "cash in a bank account", tangible stuff you buy to your company, intangible things (product you are building, ip, patents, etc). The "below 2500" rule kicks in as a safeguard when your equity (assets-liabilities) have dropped below 2500, to avoid approaching 0 "soon".
Yes, that is how most mainframes used to work, having a kind of common language environment.

Then the applications are either JITed at installation time, or the CPUs are micro-coded, JITing the applications during execution.

> A mentally unwell person is likely to feel targeted, oppressed, threatened, harmed, etc. by being silenced.

A mentally unwell person is equally likely to feel targeted, oppressed, threatened, harmed, etc. by a platform that harbors content which, in fact or merely their perception, endorses, advocates, or directly does any of targeting, oppressing, threatening, or harming them or any group they identify with.

Heck, even a mentally well person might reasonably feel that way, though they may be less likely to respond to it violently.

Actually, what's silly is that you missed my point by a very long distance. It just doesn't matter if AgileBits provides a standalone product or not if one cannot find it easily on its website and buy it. So yes, that's not enough for me!

Please try to buy the standalone version and see for yourself how difficult it is before passing comments about it.

Just having a legal address for your legal entity now costs EUR 300-500 a year for e-Resident, depending on whom you ask.

My bank account I have opened by traveling to Estonia, in Swedbank, was closed "due to inactivity" after two years, despite I was paying 5 or 10 EUR a month for the account. Yes, my account was inactive, waiting for a chance to receive money when suitable, so what???
160km (~100 miles) in particular seems limiting. There's a critical access hospital in the rural Oregon community I live in that occasionally needs more blood in a hurry, but it wouldn't have enough range to get out here. Plus with only a 101km/h (63 MPH) cruising speed, its not going to show up any sooner than ground transportation.

I can see why this is useful in Rwanda where the ground transportation infrastructure isn't as developed, but I'd be surprised if there are a lot of places in the US where its range is long enough to cover a hospital that can't keep its blood bank adequately supplied with ground transportation.
