I’m not an economist so someone with more insight can weigh-in if I’m speaking out of turn. My personal concern with Amazon is a similar one I had with Wal-Mart in that there seems to be a relationship between stagnant wages acceptance based on access to lower and lower cost goods. This seems to me to be an unsustainable race to the bottom that benefits large vertically integrated multinationals no matter how many economic arms they figuratively break in the process.

That being said I’m not sure if that is a problem that Amazon is actually creating or just a consequence of wage supression being easier to accept when technology makes goods cheaper.
No, they have every incentive to reduce claims. That is not the same as making people healthier.
I registered our (trademarked) .app through 101domain 2 weeks ago. And I believe GoDaddy also supports Early Access (with better prices).
Depends on your tastes. If you only really care about say 100 ish or fewer CD's worth of music then you can easily hit that and save money vs a streaming service. So for someone like me they are a complete waste of money.

Remember, 70 years * 10$ / month ~= 8,400$ for music over a lifetime. By comparison you can easily buy say every piece of music by Bob Marley and your done no need to ever do so again.

Sure, if you really care about music then a service is great.

I think it was on my part that jumped to code when I read “conditions to meet” there then

My apologies!
The JVM provides native primitives around memory and thread management which are not present in x86, but that's a matter of degree.
It's a pretty terrible analogy in nearly every obvious technical way. What an x86 cpu does with its instructions is almost but not entirely unlike what a JVM does.

I respectfully disagree. This is a terrible resource, which frequently says things that are either mostly vacuous or just plain wrong.

For example, here's their page on the right to erasure:

https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/refo...

Its opening paragraph reads as if data subjects have an automatic right to have their data deleted unless one of the three exceptions applies. In fact, Article 17 of the GDPR itself grants that right only under a list of specific circumstances, and the exceptions are just that, which is an entirely different situation that will lead to the opposite decision on whether data must be erased in many normal situations. Even the list of exceptions shown isn't complete.

For another example, here's their page on demonstrating compliance:

https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/refo...

There is literally nothing on that page that would help any business I'm dealing with to demonstrate compliance, unless you count the references to the primary sources at the end. There are a couple of ideas about codes of conduct or certifications that contain no substantial details, and even the vague hints about other things you might have to do don't go into any detail about who does or doesn't, leaving the entire page almost entirely content-free unless you happen to be in an industry where the kind of scheme they mention exists.

This sort of "guidance" is everything that is wrong with how the GDPR is being handled. It is verbose, ambiguous, sometimes seriously misleading, and almost entirely non-actionable. I'm actually worse off than I was before I read it, because I know nothing useful now that I didn't know before, I would have been misled by several of the pages such as the one I mentioned above if I hadn't already known better, and that's still half an hour of my life wasted.
I fully agree. I still have my Kindle with hardware buttons and look after it very carefully because I'm praying I don't have to switch at somepoint.
Fedora supports every release for just over 1 year. So if you upgraded immediately after a release, then it's always a full year before you need to upgrade again. Since they release every 6 months, that means skipping 1 release.

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/End_of_life

There are other distros you can use if you want long term support. Fedora has a 13 month policy, and RHEL (which is based on Fedora) is the LTS branch. RHEL 7 is fedora 19 + changes from 20. RHEL 8 will be based on F27.

Well we've rooted our political thought in individualism for decades. Politicians and market actors have viewed people as atomistic and so society has been shaped to reflect that view. Perhaps we are now far enough away from the threat of communism that we can realize there is a balance to be had between the individual and the collective.

I'm not sure why you're downvoted, this is most definitely contributing towards the problem, along with a (perceived?) lack of tolerance to other people's values and beliefs.

Somewhere we diverged from "live and let live" and "meet the other person half way" to "if you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best" at scale. "Social Selfishness" or "The Peacock Effect", and it seems social networks galvanize attitudes in this direction.

Unsolicited advice: Delete your Facebook and Twitter, leave your phone in your pocket or your car, and enjoy the company of others over a meal or shared activity. Listen more than you speak. Give the benefit of the doubt. Be present in the moment. Be mindful about your emotions when your beliefs or values conflict with those of others. Make the effort to stay in touch with those you love and/or care about (phone or email works, postcards are fun). Empathize.
But hey, Facebook is getting everyone connected®
Yeah but it can for all sorts of microcontroller-y chips; embedded CPUs; DSPs; theoretical future CPUs that aren't trying to both act like a PDP11 and go faster every year...
The problem comes when there's really only two choices.

1. I have an iPhone because it consistently received phonecalls when my 6N and Google Fi did not.
2. I had issues with SMS going where the fuck ever in Android that isn't an issue in iPhone.
3. iMessage's walled garden is slightly preferential because it's where the bulk of my contacts are.

Therefore I'm an Apple fanboy and apologist. I guess.

There's a similar rabid population with gaming (consoles vs. PCMR) that goes away when you have enough funding to just buy both. A lot of rabid fanboyism exists where funds are sparse.
I disagree. The goal of the interface should be to be ergonomic. In the case of the Kindle, there are a very small number of things that need to be memorized because they have no visual cues. The small number of actions coupled with the fact that any visual cue would distract from the primary purpose of the device (to display text) make the current interface more ergonomic than one with always-present visual cues IMO.

What about a situation where say someone who has a perfect memory, reads it, and regurgitates it word for word or even close enough to get the same meaning across?

The problem I see with once you've published something public - whether you've deleted it or not - is if and when they reference it (especially if it's older) in part or whole -- is if they reach out to ask you if since posting/writing something, if there are any comments or updates to it, so they then post that inclusion.

Perhaps your knowledge wasn't as evolved, therefore your understanding wasn't to conclusion - which is what the process of learning is all about. Perhaps you were going through a difficult time and you revealed things you're embarrassed about, and you have a fear of ridicule or other. That's where understanding and compassion then hopefully kicks in with the reader. If you can understand these processes yourself, and be able to forgive yourself and therefore others - or forgive others and therefore yourself - then great. If worry is strong and remains strong, then perhaps the solution is developing self-awareness to understand the nitty-gritty and nuances of emotion, to help understand the worry, where it comes from - and developing the tools and skills to help them settle.

Edit to add: You'd be surprised at what people deal with on a day-to-day basis or what they had to deal with in the past. Suffering, especially emotional suffering including discomfort and fear, is a strong teacher - it's something you have to develop to be open to - otherwise the ego mind will learn and want to logically control a situation, vs. managing it - which comes with developing self-awareness, therefore better self-control, and better self-regulation.

Where I'm at in my life, on my path, I currently fluctuate between having difficulty coping with chronic pain that I have to manage which affects my executive function and decision making, and between being very suicidal; most infuriating is that I have had success with healing some of the pain with stem cell injections, however for unreasonable/irrational decision that was made, I've been blocked from getting more from the doctor who first did them - and that has cascaded into making it challenging to find another doctor to continue them, I've come to the conclusion that our health-"care" system is very broken, and which I could go into the nuances of from my experiences, however I won't in this comment.

Yes, there will be assholes who will judge me for sharing that and think negatively for that, and they are people haven't developed those skills and understanding or compassion - at least not yet, or perhaps never, however we can forgive them for that - their genetics and life path, the environment they were born into wasn't up to them.
I've thought about this a lot too...one-hour gradiant jumps also make little sense and are only "accurate" for some point roughly in the center of the zone.

So, if there was "universal time", you might arrive in Phoenix at something that looks like 2200, and it's the afternoon. You might ask a local/hotel clerk/etc "what time do people go to bed here?" if you can't rely on the sun. However, you would be quite certain that the morning meeting is at say 1400, so you set your alarm for 1230 and everything just works!
As someone who used to have a lot of CDs and MP3s and basically got rid of all of them for Spotify, I can cite a number of reasons why I switched:

1. Convenience (I never download or upload anything, and my playlists work and are automatically updated on the devices I care about)

2. Breadth of music (it doesn't have everything I want but it has a surprising amount of breadth in things I'd never care enough to amass deep collections in)

3. Easily accessible playlists from other people (I really appreciate the "This Is <band name>" playlists especially from Spotify)

4. Seeing what my friends are listening to all the time (I get a lot of new music this way)

Yeah, stuff goes away on the service. Yeah, certain less-popular genres are patchy and incompletely represented (and are we ever going to get Tool?). Yeah, the personal library limits are a bummer (although as someone who never uses this feature, I don't care myself). Yeah, the UI is terrible for certain things (classical music is especially bad, and I really hate that single-song repeat gets turned off in so many ways). Yeah, some of their clients are worse than others (why is the PS4 client's sound quality so bad and not changeable?) Yeah, there's no lossless versions of anything (I think).

And yet, for all that, Spotify has transformed my music listening, and I've been listening to a huge array of music for almost 25 years now. I listen to so many more new and interesting artists and songs on Spotify than I ever would have otherwise. I'll never go back, personally.
Really interested in applying! Will my CV reach a human being if i apply through the link or can i send it directly via email to you?
That's easy to say in hindsight, but it's easy to come up with all sorts of crazy ideas, ask yourself "why hasn't this been done before?", and then find out that the answer is "it has, it turned out to be a terrible idea, and that's why I've never heard of it".
> It does seem like a positive step, but to be honest the solution seems a bit clumsy and ineffective, closer to security theater than actual security.

On it's own I could see the argument for it being more security theater, but if I had an app on the ".app" TLD I can now stop listening on port 80 altogether without as much worry that I'm breaking stuff. That's a real security improvement.

.app will be HTTPS only from the start and for the foreseeable future, so (at least in my opinion) there's no need to care about HTTP, or even open port 80 at all.

Granted you could do this before with HSTS preload, but setting that up yourself requires fiddling with headers and waiting a bit while browsers update with the new list. With ".app" it happens automatically, so it lowers the barrier, making it easier for strong encryption to be used by everyone for anything and everything.

This makes HTTPS easier than HTTP, which doesn't look like much on paper, but is (again, in my opinion) one of the best ways to increase security overall.

The best thing about the first Kindle I had - second generation, maybe? - was that it had the physical forward and back paddle buttons on both sides in just the right place for it to be comfortable to hit with your thumb.

Touch screen just sucks for an e-reader, the way all of the ones I've ever used since function, because you can only read right-handed with it, if you want to use just one hand. You're have to either tap on the right side of the screen to advance the pages, or worse, have to try doing a swiping motion that all too often gets misinterpreted as a tap.
I and several friends are buying old kindle 4s so we don't have to deal with the modern ones (which largely seem designed to be little tablets allowing Amazon to advertise more at you).
It's really hard to tell. Between the people who haven't read the GDPR, the people who are trolling, the people who are willfully misrepresenting the GDPR because they politically oppose it, the people who don't understand privacy or nuance, and the people who are trying to interpret the GDPR into an American legal system, there's so much low-quality discussion.

Meanwhile, I don't know of any Europeans who don't support it (on an individual level) or who finds it confusing. The hardest part seems to be putting processes in place for the right to erasure, but then we've had similar provisions in EU countries for a while, so it's not a big deal.

As for "reasonable period to retain data", unless required by law, you won't get into trouble for deleting data more quickly. So what's the minimum period you absolutely need that data/those logs/those backups for?

There's no one-size-fits-all approach, so the law isn't written like that. We just assume most people will be decent/"reasonable" in implementing it, and if not, there's the sanctions.

For clarity: I know all that stuff. I've been working on a Linux desktop full time for literally more than 20 years, and on Fedora specifically for about 8.

My point was more that for my hour-to-hour work, desktop distros simply aren't showing much real progress these days, and by far the biggest driver of my need to upgrade is the planned obsolescence of the distribution updates and not features I need.
