I'm going to have to try this, and do it old-school. Just sit on the carpet with the LEGO set in the box and go to town. Thanks for the tip, I still have all my old bricks neatly categorized in a large container.
So, it depends on which Atomic.

Fedora Atomic Host will be updated through at least the end of Fedora 28 cycle (december?). I'd like to keep it updated through Fedora 29, but we'll see what actually happens; best intentions aside, build engineers are always in short supply (your contributions can help). Red Hat Atomic Host will be supported into 2020. Centos Atomic Host tracks RHAH, so it will likely be available through the same period.

After that ... there will be some kind of migration plan to the new OS, details TBD. The real asset we have there is `rpm-ostree rebase` which makes it really easy to swap out the Atomic Host base in-place.
>Would a good 4-year university accept an adjunct who holds a Master's degree from a top-10 CS program, but not a PhD, to teach an upper-level course (that does correspond to their area of specialty)?

They may, but adjuncts are poorly paid, and often have fewer benefits, than faculty members. Many adjuncts often have no real guarantee they'll have a job the following semester/year. They are the first to get axed when there are budget problems.

And frankly, having spent time in academia, they do have a significant ego problem. Adjuncts will be treated poorly by professors. Many lower level courses will have a "director" who is a professor, and he will usually treat the adjunct poorly. Rarely do adjuncts have freedom in what homework is assigned and what the syllabus will be.
Sorta, Client Certs but the Client generates and authenticates them, the Server only stores the fingerprint and authenticates them on it's side.

And with a better UI and flow since you don't need it to establish connection.
This is a huge issue in Hong Kong and Singapore too. The work hours in both are crazy.

I went on google in search of other means to take care of eviction report and late payments record from my credit report records and most people on different blogs kept talking about a professional . and how fast, affordable and reliable he is…I summoned courage to reach out to him, and told him my issues with my records. His response to my mails made me calm and optimistic about the whole thing. I made a down payment for the job and he cleaned my negative remarks in just a week and was approved by credit union in 3 weeks. that singlehandedly brought so much relief to me and its so amazing. Fix your credit report by contacting his email { Q U A D H A C K E D @ G M A I L . CO M } and by the time he’s done with your job . and when you get pleased with your job, you'll be willing to recommend just the way i am
It works with Firefox 60, Google however sometimes relies on Chrome quirks not specified in the standard which may not make it usable in Firefox. (Last I checked)
> Apple, Microsoft, FreeBSD, Red Hat, Ubuntu, SUSE Linux, and other Linux distros.

Just to clarify, this is kernel code. Listing 3 different (+ "other") Linux distros as affected is kinda bogus, it's not that they all made the same mistake, they just all use the same kernel.

What now? When you burn and inhale any organic matter it deposits a lot of tar in your lungs (pot much more so than modern cigarettes). Are you suggesting that has no ill effects?
We should he focusing on plastics rather than methane.
At my old job I had this setup for WebEx. I did voice over a standard phone, so only video went over x11vnc -> vnc client in Windows VM -> WebEx. It worked pretty well; way better than Sky (Linux Skype for Business client) which is just laggy as hell.
That's why disable / delete / close all that crap. Notifications are the death of productivity, and life.
When both users are behind a firewall, in some cases the Skype connection was peer-to-supernode-to-peer, not straight peer-to-peer. Replacing a supernode, which could have been a user on a mediocre DSL connection, with a server in a datacenter with good connectivity _should_ improve call quality.
Enterprise software is a catch-all term, I worked on enterprise software and none of our customers were bigger than 500 users, most were less than 100.

Enterprise software comes in a huge variety of quality.
This SSC article is basically a, "I'm not judging you but you're acting in bad faith if you don't accept my values as fundamental" summary.

And that's a lot of SSC. It's not "based" in science, nor is it based in "good writing." Often times its articles devolve into something that is almost self-fisking and difficult to follow.

I think though that finding ways to succeed at public arguments is an interesting discussion, and it encourages you to define "success" in ways other than "dominate and browbeat people by turning them into ideologically fetishized foils." Much of this discourse is aimed at denigrating this, but that's ultimately a quiet appeal to the status quo and the least rational, most passionate opinions. Often times denormalization of those opinions is it the best way to combat them, if they need combating.

A great example of this is repeating (in a tired voice) "No on cares but you" when someone goes off on a rant about how transexuals are "mentally ill." Repeating that this is a value judgement and not a universal axiom is a very effective tactic, because it refuses to accept the hidden premises that having such a conversation in the first place implies (i.e., that it's open for debate in the first place).

Sometimes it works great. Sometimes I can't get Siri to do anything right. Anecdotally I've found that Google's voice assistant is quite a lot better. Unfortunately I am unwilling to accept the rest of Google's terms and conditions so I am stuck with Siri for the foreseeable future.
Also, I'd really like to know how you're deploying Kubernetes on Atomic, because we will likely stop building some of the multiple ways to install K8s on Atomic, and would prefer to keep the ones people are actually using.

Why the Intellectual Dark Web Exists
I think this is a useful article. The bit that struck me as most important was the bit about Clarifying - I think many pointless online discussions, including most straw-men, could be rescued by that practice.

More specifically, if I were dang for a day, I'd edit the third guideline ("Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.") to add, "When in doubt, try paraphrasing the other side's argument in a way that they would agree with before responding to it."

You don't even need to stay away from Aurora ince it's MySql/Postgres SQL API compatible.

You would just want to stay away from Aurora specific features like the one in OP.

They don't have to when they start. Google Fiber hasn't gone into any rural areas AFAIK.
People are often underpaid compared to market rate because jobs are not a perfectly liquid market. This is due to a number of factors: family situation, workplace social bonds, confidence in one's abilities, fear of change. It is very naive to believe that the labor markets are efficient. This is why some companies are able to take advantage of employees and get away with underpaying them.
"Skype for Business" is not Skype, it is a re-brand of the Messenger tool they already had. It is super obvious once you start dealing with the API.
Just got a new XPS 15 yesterday.

First, all the Linux installers I tried couldn't see the SSD, like, at all. I had to disable RAID support in the BIOS (I still don't understand WTF is RAID doing there provided there's only one disk). Then, no matter how I tried, it just refused to boot from UEFI. Then, when I enabled legacy boot in the BIOS and finally managed to make it boot into the system, it hung up when switching to graphics mode, screaming that "watchdog detected a hard/soft lockup on CPU". When I finally managed to have X running, it's apparently running on the CPU, and xdriinfo says there's no direct rendering support. It took me nearly 2 days to get kind-of-but-not-really usable system. I still can't adjust screen brightness (other than in BIOS...)

The last time I had this much trouble with installing Linux was back in the nineties. But hey, the HiDPI display is indeed beautiful.
Am I the only one that wants a nice cherry mechanical keyboard that transcribes typed commands to inaudible voice commands?
That just doesn't realistically work for most professions that rely on email. Your email just sounds like something personal that doesn't require any reasonable attention.
I have a Sonos setup in my house, it's connected to Spotify Premium (as I suspect most Sonos systems are). I recently added a Sonos/Alexa hybrid thing because I liked the idea of being able to play whatever I fancied while cooking.

"Alexa play <whatever> in the kitchen from spotify"

No other combination of words works. I'm not sure why it needs me to say "kitchen", all my Sonos systems are connected together, but if I say anything else it'll either play on just the one speaker or not work at all. I'm not sure why I must say "from spotify", but apparently I do or it ends up playing some random radio station from some other service.

I find things like this quite the mouthful:

"Alexa play Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath in the kitchen from spotify"

..and with a statement so complicated it often misunderstands and starts doing something random.

I would MUCH prefer a simple voice based API. Attempting to understand conversational speech properly rarely seems to work effectively and often just ends up with users memorising a command just to get it to understand.
Is there a web page one can refer to instead? Seems like it could be far more efficient way to learn, and would also be able to easily highlight newly released features.
I feel compelled reiterate to the world how astonishingly bad Teams is. We've been using it since its release and some days I'm convinced that there must be some internal management issue causing employees to deliberately sabotage the product.
FB Response on Russian Ads Released by Congress
If that's the nail in the coffin then why is skype still popular? The voice/video/screen share performance is consistently always bad, to the level of unusable.
From the System76 reply (emphasis mine):

> LVFS is neat and we'd love to use it. We also have a couple of constraints that make that difficult: licensing/legal constraints imposed on us, plus time/effort constraints due to everything else going on.

...ok, that means there's non-free software in their machines, right?
At the same time, it allows you to put brakes on your investment ("lose only up to the deflation!") and invest more. And since your other savings are growing in value as well, you are able to invest more and into more risky projects.

I'm not sure if Skype was beloved. It was in many ways the first to do what it did at scale, during it's Peer 2 Peer days, was more usable than any version of skype today.

EarthChat – Real-time language translation in chat makes you fluent globally
Actually its a case of "Read the whole article, and NOT just the headline, before leaving a comment" syndrome.

The study was presented on mice who all lived in the same laboratory in identical little cages. They were not exposed to various economic classes. We don't need to run a per-capita relational analysis on them because they were mice... living in cages. One group of mice was provided tools like an exercise wheel in their cages after they reached adulthood to provide them means of exercising, which they took advantage of. The male mice that exercised sired "smarter" offspring (details into how they make that determination are in the article) even when paired with sedentary females.

Now yes I agree with you that there is a strong relationship in humans between exercise and economic class. On average humans with higher economic status tend to be more fit. There are numerous reasons for this. However, that really doesn't have anything to do with this study. This study concluded that adult males who exercise regularly, pass positive mental traits to their offspring. You could later argue that therefore a higher percentages of kids from high economic classes will display these same desirable mental traits... which I would probably agree with, but that is an entirely different argument than what is made in this study.

So yes take the 3 minutes that it takes to read this 1,200 or so word article before leaving a comment claiming that the article is wrong.
Siri is supposed to be tailored to your own voice and not accept commands from anyone else. Sounds like they need to approve that fingerprinting. (or this different on the HomePod since it's supposed to be used by multiple people?)
How hard is it to get off Aurora? The article said it’s mysql compatible.
>Around 50, the fog began to lift, despite the death of both his parents, the loss of his magazine job and the failure of a startup venture.

Or perhaps because of, the big change when you hit your fifties is a lot of responsibilities disappear, your kids grow up and leave home, parents who may have become dependent start falling off their perch, your career is probably past its peak. There is just a lot less to worry about.

You can. It's called Magic (https://getmagic.com)
Glad you think so. It basically removes the two-sided nature of eCommerce network effects. Democratizes access to the data that create monopoly lock-ins.
Again, I said that sounds like it could be a reasonable trade-off. You have to balance...

1. the good of the theoretical possibility of getting a pittance more in interest from an international bank with

2. the social costs of not having a well-regulated local bank that will make loans in the community.

If you totally ignore #2, you're going to make a bad policy decision. I think that's approximately what you're doing.

My position is if the good from #2 is greater than the good from #1, discouraging community members from depositing their money in a distant bank over a local one is good policy.
I want this too, but it leads me to worry that in the not too distant future, poor people will deal mostly with robots in a sort of 2nd apartheid where social status dictates how many humans you can reach.
Ironically, that makes it sound like Sydney is a great place for cable trolley. No engine whatsoever, works great on hills.

possibly. but given the how often i've seen c++ users treat c users like idiot savages or heathens that need conversion ("have you heard the good word of our lord and savior, c++?"), i could understand a negative sentiment.
In theory it is possible to make calls from Skype for Business and Skype for Consumers. In practice the UI for that is quite horrible and I could never successfully connect a call.

I think you're going beyond the todo list as it's normally used. The purpose of the other list is to make you selective about what goes on the todo list. What you describe more or less does the same thing as the other list.
When people say "easy to install" they mean easier to install and configure to their environment. Providing intuitive interfaces and making everything more automated.
For example my 'hostname' was automatically set to motherboard model during install.

"I believe users should have control of their data."

If you believe the only way they should be able to do that is to become a digital hermit, then you don't really believe that.

"When you say “no thanks”, that’s a user exercising control over their data, and is an action which necessarily involves no governmental body."

What about Facebook's shadow profiles?

"a business simply cannot operate in ways that are A) not opposed to the safety or health of their users"

There is nothing about the GDPR that opposes this. Not a one.

"B) potentially necessary to succeed in the markets in which they participate."

This most assuredly is not part of the GDPR. If the only reason your business has a chance of succeeding is by ignoring user privacy and ignoring the safety of user data, your business does not deserve to succeed.
That's an extraordinarily open-ended question. If you'll be more precise, I'll attempt a good-faith answer.

Cheers
Original HN title: How Microsoft destroyed the Skype brand
It does not, and Google does not yet even attempt to use WebAuthn. They're still using the (now legacy) U2F authentication mechanism, which firefox does not fully support. It works in some sites if you enable it in about:config, but not all. Like google.com.
What is an agile roadmap? Product development tips
Many people here mention the culture as important factor, and suggest using other higher barrier communication means. Funny thing is that as a manager I am trying to push for emails instead of drop by’s in person, as emails at least give me the freedom to choose when to process them in batches (and leave a trace in my memory). And it seems that in my culture (Russia) personal drop by’s have the least barrier, immediately followed by the IMs, while Email has the highest barrier.

I am pretty sure they had such tests, and they tested everything in their corporate network and maybe uptown where the engineers live.
I can't imagine hiring a freelancer that I felt I needed to micromanage to that extent. What do you do when you need to spend some time working on a white board? I probably spend more time on a whiteboard than I do coding (I'm more of an architect these days, but that was still true when I was only an individual contributor.)

I worked as a freelancer for years, and I would have refused to work for someone that required me to install tracking software.

If it's possible at all, I would work on trying to bill daily or weekly instead of hourly if I were you.
>but I'm not sure margin of error matters, does it?

It does in terms of "reality overrides perception" and "what we want doesn't change whats real". Our ability to set hard limits in law doesn't change the fact our ability to actually test for those limits always have some margin of error.

In this case, the argument is the devices may be wrong because they're up to 6-10% off in some cases. Is that enough to invalidate measurements because of the margin of error? That's something the law doesn't deal with properly, but it really should.

What is the maximum margin of error allowable in a device used to determine legal status of an individual (in terms of drunkeness in this case)? without that being specified in law, what is the biggest margin of error socially acceptable? 0 is not practical or possible, so it has to be some sort of number.
I'm literally on the factory floor right now, working with our designers and CEO on upcoming product designs. There's an area populated with a few dozen iterations of unreleased prototypes from the past couple of years, a couple of 3D printers running for prototype parts, as well as a laser cutting acrylic for new prototypes chassis today.

We're doing this work in-house, right here in Denver, Colorado.

I'm sorry you had a poor experience with support. We do still offer a choice between Ubuntu and Pop!_OS right from the site, but we also are focusing our efforts on making better products. And a large part of that (which we hear from our customers every day) is in the software experience. You're always welcome to install whatever you want on your machine, and we'll do our best to help you out with that.
There's some kind of law in operation that states that all chat and telephony apps must evolve toward increased suckitude. I've lost count of how many good chat/voice/video apps started decent but then over time accumulated bloat, experienced degraded service (often due to bloat or a shift away from p2p), and got encrusted with gimmicks and marketing junk to the point that they became unusable.

I suspect it's because simple chat, voice, and video is a relatively bounded and commodity feature set. Everything must justify its existence, so there's always a drive to add more features and bloat to attempt to differentiate. Over time that swamps the original design. This is a problem for all software but it seems particularly bad in the chat/telephony domain.

I also think the move away from p2p driven by lightweight mobile devices (and I suspect also by governments) degrades service. Non-p2p links are by definition higher latency and lower bandwidth as they're passing through additional indirect relay devices.
If you treat the people around you like idiots, they will be.
