If you think employing open-source maintainers gives a company "control" over a project, you haven't met many maintainers.

In any case, IBM is very respectful of the health of the open source projects on which it depends. While the vestiges of Red Hat may become less and less attractive as a place for a maintainer to work over time, I do not expect IBM to exert any control over any of these projects in any meaningful way any more than it has over the areas that its current employees maintain. Look at SCSI in the kernel, or even RCU, both maintained by IBMers (two examples among many).

> People who like to hate on it, didn't invest time in learning that you can program it to show what you want.

How much time investment is required? I inadvertently spent a month travelling with a Touchbar MacBook, and it only took me a few days to get it configured for all my uses, and it was fine. However, when I switched back to a non-Touchbar system, it felt like an immediate and significant upgrade in keyboard capability. (Plus the non-Touchbar systems are cheaper.)

Even if an individual believed a psychic has some kind of supernatural power, as a society, we large understand the mechanics of how psychics do their thing.

With animals, we have no clue why there appears to be a tendency for them to act oddly before an earthquake, and up until recently, we didn't understand how birds could navigate as effectively as they do.

It's possible that what we see with animals is just coincidence or an artifact of how we perceive our own memories after traumatic events, but it's also possible that an animal or some set of animals can perceive something associated with certain earthquakes.
Certainly. Wealthier people may be more likely than the poor to drive Teslas instead of smoke-belching old bangers, but they also tend to fly more, heat and air-condition their huge houses, use many more gadgets and appliances that generate CO2 during both manufacture and use, etc.
I think what you're saying here is analogous to "Al Capone? That was before my time, but wasn't he the guy who fibbed a bit on his tax return? Don't a lot of people do that?"

There have been a few fines, including the large 50M EUR fine against Google. Despite this, compliance has fallen short of many peoples' expectations. Being presented with consent dialogues where it is not possible or practical to decline consent is still commonplace.

Hopefully the rate of enforcement will further increase and compliance attitudes will improve.
Having worked for a company that got bought out for the "culture and employees", I can tell you that's a lie. You got bought out for the partnerships and technology, and everything else is a bonus. You will fall in line with the IBM culture, or you will be phased out. If you're not a salesperson, I'd suggest you spread your resume around.

That's how the source script encodes it (to differentiate it from "counters" like +1/+1 counters) but for some reason it's not fixed during decode. I'm tempted to manually add a fix.

We have a thing in Tridactyl for this, actually ("blacklistkeys" if you're a user).

You roll your own by writing a userscript (e.g. Tampermonkey) that adds an event listener to keydown which runs key.cancelBubble = true and key.stopPropagation(). See line 343 https://github.com/tridactyl/tridactyl/blob/master/src/conte... (starts "leavegithubalone").
So, I'll go out on a limb and assume that the original comments were related to php in general (say, the latter 7 versions - which are faster and receiving more updates/patches, etc.)...which tends to be a platform that is more easily accessible for most.
Except that he can't. This is why the Hatch act and laws like it exist. Your thought makes sense (sorta?) when applied to a private citizen. But, he's not.

Blocking people as the president is closer to limiting the free speech of citizens than exercising his right to free speech.
Not sure what point you're trying to make, but the person I contacted maintains a mac-specific port of emacs which adds nice features that GNU emacs lacks and won't add because of politics.

Well, it's already been ruled to be an official governmental communication tool, so you're wrong there.

From a practical perspective, it is the only way the administration addresses the public since they block any honest journalist from an interview and they have essentially cancelled press conferences.
See the dumps for various sampling temperatures. Even at 1.2 (versus 0.7), there is some evidence of overfitting.

My wife was a severely germ-sheltered child like that. She has overcome it, and she does not get sick any more than I, a pretty grimy/dirty/often-filthy farm kid, do.

The hardest thing about that upbringing for her is that her instincts toward our children are very much geared toward avoiding germs at all costs. Because that was how she was raised, that's the only way she really knows how to raise our kids. Fortunately, I'm there to get them really, really dirty.
Airlines are already included in the EU cap and trade scheme. That's effectively a fuel surcharge for CO2.

(When that happened, the US disliked it so much that they passed the "European Union Emissions Trading Scheme Prohibition Act" to prohibit US carriers from complying. And China threatened to cancel airbus orders. As a result, flights that go outside of the European Economic Area are not covered by the scheme.)

> In practise, enforcement has been focused on punishing poor security, rather than lack of privacy or freedom.

That's not true in the slightest. One bank (ING) in The Netherlands implemented an opt-out for analyzing customers data. Quite a bit of outrage. PR spokeperson said: "all is fine, this is all good, we follow the GDPR".

Local privacy authority sent a general letter informing that such behaviour is very likely not according to the GDPR. ING quickly backtracked. Other banks said they'd obviously comply with GDPR.

No fine was given.. it was not needed. I don't particularly care if companies are fined. I do care that they take my privacy into account. The latter is what (slowly) is happening.
"But close to nothing is being recovered. We would recover more or less the same if we introduced a tax on bad weather to be paid by those suffering from it."

This is a good point, actually ...

If the tax is punitive enough that it results in a meaningful decrease in miles flown then it has a positive environmental impact, but it's difficult to imagine the taxes being that punitive. That's probably politically impossible.

In order for this to "recover" something, as is being discussed, you'd need a way to convert these dollars into carbon sinks of some kind - which isn't, itself, without controversy ...

I am personally in favor of removing subsidies to air travel and increasing taxes on miles flown such that the impact would be noticeable, but again, that's a tall order, politically.
The one ad I remember mocked our government for "wasting" money studying "gas emissions" from cows. Of course, the question of agricultural methane production is quite important from the standpoint of total greenhouse gas emissions, and there has been interesting research towards reducing methane emissions while maintaining production. It's also a negligible part of the budget, like almost all scientific spending. I was 13 years old and thinking, how stupid, is this guy saying he's going to go through picking and choosing these tiny little line items in the budget based on how they sound?

From a larger perspective, it shows that even sophisticated businessmen fall victim to the usual fallacies about government spending, thinking that there's a lot more waste that can be easily trimmed than there is, that you can cut a few unpopular programs and make a reduction in taxes or balance the budget, or that a national government should be run like a household, putting off spending when revenue is low and cranking it up while it is high.
Most flavors of linux are pretty painless on thinkpads. Although I wouldn't recommend using anything other than a thinkpad if you can't put up with some things not working.
Be careful with multiplexing. The default values in ssh allow for all subsequent sessions without auth and will not generate syslog auth entries, which makes phishing 100% easier.

We did an internal demo where we got a person to run one ruby script, and another person had unlogged access to all of dev and production.

Please work with your security teams before wide spread adoption of enabling control master. There are many security implications in ssh multiplexing, even in a dev environment where we can backdoor the installation scripts that find their way into production.

Spruce forests are beautiful and magical places once they are aged. Those rectangular boundaries will smooth out naturally the way flora does. Having grown up in old spruce forest, I would attest that it will be valued greatly in a couple generations. They are great places to play in and really spark the imagination.
One issue with reforesting places is that many people just aren't used to what comes with forests - sight lines are obscured and inconvenient animals (some dangerous) tend to take refuge in them. But that's what comes with forest.

Exactly, it certainly appears the claims can't all be true. This is a bit disturbing from a company with a questionable track record.
Unfortunately the media establishment discredited Ross Perot by painting him as "nutty" and focusing on his mannerisms, rather than what he was saying. Seeing Bush's and Clinton's smirks during the debates are embarrassing, and did nothing but baselessly discredit the man and his ideas.

The media did the same to Ron Paul by framing him as a loon and someone to laugh at.

This same strategy by the mainstream media backfired miserably, and quite hilariously with the unfortunate election of Trump.
I learned what an engineer was when dabbling in electromechanics.

I think after the 80s, engineering lost its meaning in computers because people could abstract the machine away and hodge-podge a lot of systems.

No need to carefully encode data, precompile addresses, state etc which would be similar to the dimensioning computations in physical systems.

ps: to extend the story, most engineered things have very carefully defined dimensions and limits which drives most things in the design. Max Wattage in your PSU will reflect in the gauge of wires, size of capacitors etc. A bit like choosing an arch when compiling.

I remember some threads in 2000s boards where some guys did talk about jobs like these in computing. They had said space and said cycles to work with, with that they could see what algorithm could compute the needs back against the limits. I found it especially interesting brain wise because you could "think" in hard figures, instead of glueing things without any idea what was really going on.
Like maybe we can build this out. A common daemon for registering with.

The concept would be very simple to build. I might start a github project.

- Global daemon to register apps with. Apps could be installed system wide or per use.

Think plopping a zip/tar/ or directory structure in something like /usr/local/webap.d/(namespace) -- might be abetter directory. Then a manifest file that describes some things about the service, such as how to start the API service, and the default entry point (index.html).

- The global service is responsible for bringing apps on line by way of instance activation on say visiting a name space, or just keep them running.

- Services once launched pick random port from range to bind to and system service acts as a reverse proxy and common auth for validating the local user. Maybe even ensure each of the API services are run per user and jailed to the home directory

IDK, just thinking off the top of my head, I have written bits and pieces of this for various work projects, but never glued the idea into one single system.
International flights are much cheaper in the UK than local trains. I paid the same price for a flight from Cardiff to Malta as for train from Cardiff to Bristol (40 miles).

> However, we do have concrete plans for supporting adblocking as a built-in feature in the near future

reading this almost makes me cry because that is the same bullshit google is telling us with chrome.

Firefox is not supposed to block ads! Firefox only has to provide an interface for addons so they can do whatever(!!!) they want (for example blocking ads or installing malware on your system).

Please don't sacrifice our freedom for a wrong understanding of security (like that addon-signing you pulled lately).
I would guess that they're basically directly exposing the modem's ACPI device subtree over USB, the same way they would over PCIe. So you've got one endpoint corresponding to the data TX DMA region; one corresponding to the data RX DMA region; one corresponding to the command IO stream input; one corresponding to a command error channel; one corresponding to each different axis of mode-setting; etc.

I don't know exactly what the goal of the course is, or where he's teaching, but...

it seems like a really hard problem.

Making working computer systems---like a drawing program, or an Amazon deploy---can be really hard, or really simple. You can teach someone enough Python for fizzbuzz in twenty minutes. Teaching them enough...everything...to get a web version of fizzbuzz, that checks a database for the words (it might be "nargle" and "gargle" by user preference, after all), with a Python install that they manage, a postgres install that they manage, that they don't feel at a complete loss about if something goes wrong, and to collaborate with others on this...is another matter entirely.

I'm not one of those who believes programming ability is innate, but there are absolutely compounding effects that can certainly have basically the same effect. In retrospect, I thank my lucky stars for my 6th-grade computers class using HyperCard.

To be fair, there are some well documented EM precursors. The most classic is from the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake: https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1029/GL01... Recently, some fairly convincing ionospheric-related (i.e. GPS delay) precursors have also been observed before Tohoku and (less convincingly) several other major earthquakes. (e.g. Heki, 2011, Iwata & Umeno 2016, and several other references I forget. Mostly from the same couple research groups.)

We don't have a full mechanism to explain them (or, rather, there are a lot of competing mechanisms that don't fully explain things). More importantly, precursors don't seem to occur consistently as you noted.

However, they're also not worth automatically dismissing. The idea that they're all a simple case of confirmation bias has been extensively discussed, and while it's not currently possible to refute, it's starting to seem less likely. There's certainly been a lot more attention given to possible precursors and mechanisms in the last 5 years than there were before. It's a serious avenue of research right now. Keep an eye out then next time you're at AGU. I guarantee you you'll see at least a few posters around possible precursors and/or precursor mechanisms.

Forecasting is definitely pseudoscience, but EM-related precursors are a fairly hot (and controversial) research topic at the moment.
You are definitely the owner, without a doubt. As someone else pointed out, the owner of what, precisely, is up for debate, but certainly you have copyrights in some aspects of the work. From an enforcement perspective the substantive legal questions are what rights, and especially the scope of such rights, you implicitly granted or waived by publishing or sharing.

However, you don't really need to answer those questions before notifying, say, a recruiter that you're exercising your rights (such as they are) and demanding that they delete your resume. But how can you ensure compliance? For how long are you willing to check? And if they fail to fully comply are you willing to pay the expense to litigate, especially without the prospect of any monetary damages, let alone damages sufficient to cover the costs of litigation?

These limitations to enforcement at the threshold effectively moot the substantive legal questions. Some of the legal questions may not have ever been answered by a court simply because it's never been worth anyone's effort to press them.
> They're regressive.

Maybe not.

Firstly, it depends what is done with the proceeds. A fee and dividend system that redistributes the proceeds among all citizens can be made as progressive as you want, depending on the policy for sizing everyone's dividend.

Second,even if the dividend is an equal dollar amount for every citizen, the average person is made more than whole bythe dividend, while most wealthy individuals who have larger homes,engage in more air travel, buy new cars more frequently, etc will fund a disproportionately large fraction of the proceeds.
UAC is the correct idea (elevated user privilege levels), but implemented in the worst way possible. As I understand it, things have gotten MUCH less annoying since Vista, but it still left a bad taste in people's mouths.
Look, all that makes sense if users are giving informed consent to have an app install a web server. Users should be able to run whatever they want, but they should also know what an app is installing.

The WH calls it the official Presidential account and he disseminates policy, sometimes exclusively, through Twitter. It really isn't just "his own twitter account" anymore because of his own doing.
