The monetary value of the median hotel guest record to the sort of nefarious powers that be that scoop up hotel guest databases is ~$0. It may even be a negative amount.

The monetary value of a particular person of interest's guest record may be more than that, but those people are few and far between.

If you disagree, please let me know who I can get in touch with, who will pay me $4/guest record. I'll quit my day job, and set up camp outside a hotel lobby, recording guests and license plates.
Along those lines, I've found that I'm much more distinctly odor-free for a few days, after I spend a day at the russian bathhouse. Something about sitting in hot tubs, steam rooms, cold showers (I've never done the arctic pool! haha), saunas and banyas, rotating throughout the different conditions somehow cleanses off ALL of the bacteria, to where if I didn't have any deodorant on the next day it wouldn't be a thing.

It's pretty physically taxing to make a whole day of it, especially when you're splitting a bottle of vodka at the same time, but nothing leaves me feeling cleaner.

Interpreting the Beasts of the Middle Ages
Imagine a random manufacturer, let's say HP, was the one bringing a touchbar to their notebooks. Some press, a lot of laughter but quickly, nobody would talk anymore about them and/or buy that notebooks.

With Apple, people keep on complaining OVER years. The touchbar, the prices, the crappy keyboards... the reason? IDK, maybe they are locked-in and can't move to another platform but there is only one single reason to be locked-in on macOS: if you develop apps for iOS, otherwise every other platform is currently way better and switching is a matter of days. Once I had the keyboard trouble on a $4K MBP I switched instantly and never returned to macOS.
But why encourage people to look down when typing anything?

Basically everyone learns to type without looking at some point which is the ideal zone you want users in (a one-to-one connection with the machine, eyes straight, hands down).

Context switching the UI in a computer interface, often randomly depending on the app, while requiring the user to look down to use it is terrible UX. This whole technology screams ‘because we can’ (aka there was space to do it) rather than developers needed help with anything.

The worst part was including Escape key into it, which is where most of the complaints come from as it’s a critical part of modern OS and browser interfaces - not just vim/emacs.

By including the escape key it went from a voluntary / side interface for certain use-cases (complex music, photo, or editing apps for example) to becoming part of the primary keyboard/HCI itself which is where it crossed the line from a mediocre idea into a bad idea.
Raspberry PI is just an example. I am pretty sure if people started looking into self hosting we can certainly come up with networks and devices that can compete with centralized services.

We can even come up with something that would ensure critical data is always available via redundant nodes. Look at BitTorrent, I am pretty sure nobody would have thought it would work flawlessly before it did.

Here is the court opinion as a PDF: https://games-cdn.washingtonpost.com/notes/prod/default/docu... . I would replace the original URL with this link instead now that I think about it.
I think the unfriendliness is that features are hard to discover and the commands are at a lower level than beginners (and a fair few non-beginners) can tolerate. Additionally, almost everyone uses a pretty straightforward workflow with git, but if you look at the docs it looks very complicated. You aren't trying to git checkout -b you are trying to start a new feature. This is a weird layer to add for someone struggling to control a computer using the keyboard instead of the mouse.

The other thing is that the dev community has settled on a small range of simple and effective git workflows, where you only ever need 6ish commands, but check this out from man giteveryday (which man git sends you to if you want a simple answer):

satellite$ git clone mothership:frotz frotz (1)

satellite$ cd frotz

satellite$ git config --get-regexp '^(remote|branch)\.' (2)

remote.origin.url mothership:frotz

remote.origin.fetch

refs/heads/:refs/remotes/origin/

branch.master.remote origin

branch.master.merge refs/heads/master

satellite$ git config remote.origin.push \
+refs/heads/:refs/remotes/satellite/ (3)

satellite$ edit/compile/test/commit

I mean it's cool for a power user but a little intimidating for someone who just learned about man pages. Of course if you copy and paste it those (numbers) are going to give some weird errors.

Edit: I should mention that despite the critique I appreciate all the incredible work they did in exchange for absolutely nothing from me.
Heat dumping is done outside the room, of course, but that's a separate airflow, one that's generally disconnected from the room. The cool AC flow itself is usually a closed cycle of some sort. You would be kind of defeating the whole purpose of trying to cool and dehumidify the air if you did otherwise, plus your AC system might have to run continuously in order to get anything done. There will always be some leakage, of course.
This is remarkably more coherent than previous attempts at M:tG card generation with a deep RNN [1] but on the other hand, the ability text on the few cards I've generated so far seems oddly famliar.

In fact, I got one that is identical to an actual card.

Generated by GPT-2 [2]:

Tephraderm {1}{R} (common)
Sorcery
Each player sacrifices a land.

Actual M:tG card (copied by hand by me and keeping the same notation):

Tremble {1}{R} (Odyssey common)
Sorcery
Each player sacrifices a land.

Also, the names of cards don't seem to be generated by the RNN. "Tephraderm", above, is an actual Magic card (a red rare creature from Onslaught). I certainly did see a "Bontu, Primal Calamity" (which I didn't save) whose name was basically a mashup of the names of "Bontu the Glorified" and "Zacama, Primal Calamity".

Run this:

ps aux | grep zoom

You'll probably see "ZoomOpener" there. It is running but it's not in the "Force Quit" menu. Then, to kill it run:

killall zoom

Then you can follow the other directions indicated by the previous poster who gave information about how to lock your ~/.zoomus directory down to root so that it can't install itself again.
That granularity makes it pretty much ridiculous. What if A's main purpose is to give you Bs, and B's main purpose is to give you Cs that do things?

To be fair, the new Firefox Preview (aka fenix) seems to go a long way towards changing that. I agree that they damn well better release with extension support (and I think they will), but it's pretty reasonable to get the core browser stable first.

From a Pi consumer perspective, this is not that big of a deal.

However, it damages the purpose (in name) of USB C. Isn't C supposed to be the 'all purpose' spec? If we have popular manufacturers failing to follow the spec, we end up with cables marked as 'compatible with Raspberry Pi' or 'compatible with Nintendo Switch'. To the average consumer (and even most techies), USB C was supposed to be the 'one size fits all' connector. We're slowly heading in the opposite direction.

That is incorrect, and stems from a misunderstanding of our release model.

The clearest statement is this dev-platform post from April, https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mozilla.dev.platform..., which includes a link to a much more detailed project planning document.

> Nothing about if their replacement is going to drop extension support.

That's because we are not yet ready to make public commitments. Honest. We're building the app and its underlying embedding library (GeckoView) from scratch, and as with all new greenfield projects, we're still working on getting the foundation right. It's simply too early to forecast how that specific design and development work will play out.
Huge mistake. The Touch Bar is a bad user experience.

Pro users need a physical ESC and F keys, that seems fairly obvious.
I think they may be clearing inventory. At least I hope so.
Yeah, I wouldn't even call this a vulnerability. I'd call it malware. Nothing should secretly reinstall deleted apps without user interaction. Never. The user expressed the intention to delete the app, and you're undoing it without their permission? Deliberately defeating expressed user intent. Malware. Period. It's the Zoom Trojan.

I'm guessing you aren't Jewish? Easter is based on the Jewish calendar, but they didn't want to admit that, so they came up with these crazy rules based on the Christian calendar to approximate the Jewish calendar. Easter is supposed to be three days after passover, and in many years, it is, but every few years they are way off and Easter is either a few weeks before or after the Seder.

His point of that being slower still stands. I also find that just googling generally what I want can more quickly lead me to a stack overflow post with exactly what is needed, while MAN pages can be rather cryptic at times without reading the whole thing.
It seems like to write a tool that's genuinely helpful for non-experts, you need to become something of an expert in how people use the tool: what are they usually trying to accomplish? What are common mistakes?

It's similar knowledge to what you would need to write a book about rsync.

And the way to do that is with lots of experiments and user testing. A good start would be to find one person who really wants this and make sure it works for them. Designing things by yourself, even with lots of sympathy for the user, doesn't seem like enough?

This seems to assume that the Court's initial resistance is a signifier that the policy was _truly_ illegitimate, and their eventual acceptance was a fake legitimacy being bestowed upon tyranny. However, there are plenty of times where the Court's initial resistance was the tyranny, and the eventual acceptance was to _remove_ legitimacy from an illegitimate policy. Besides the obvious cases where the supreme court upheld segregation, I would argue that on average the trajectory of the court has been towards properly legitimate policies under our Constitutional principles rather than towards greater and greater perversion of them. On other principles, like federal power vs states rights, there has been a clear trajectory but I wouldn't identify either side as clearly legitimate or clearly tyranny.
Why are you continuing to hammer away with the Reddit style comments? You might have a good point, but now you are acting like an argumentative ass.

Its called software engineering when it needs to operate under a set of requirements and conditions in scale and complexity comparable to other engineering projects. Everyone has a different idea because everyone has different ideas about what other engineering is about too. Its just that governments/guilds usually publish specific descriptions of what it is and as outsiders we take that as the truth.
All true. Small note: whereas cookies are easy to identify as tracking, etags have a legitimate purpose and you might not know that you're being tracked by this method. It would be illegal not to disclose it, so I doubt any self respecting company would do it, but also hard to detect.

Their USB charger costs 7€. From my experience: Just buy their charger and you'll have no problem. I've seen so many attempts at powering the Pi with alternative sources that suck and cause problems. 7€ is worth avoiding that.
Agreed, the Touch Bar is a hassle at best. They should at least make it optional.

Ah, that's different then. However, even among "us", I think there's a pretty big split among those who want to have an impact (which sometimes goes hand in hand with wanting to "be the kind of person who is impactful", i.e. being ego driven) and those who just want to learn and do things for its own sake. The Jobses and the Wozes if you will.
Regardless of how I feel about it, the options are:

- Keep giving bread and lose an indeterminate amount of business from my target audience

- Limit the rights of the people who I gave the bread to

- Stop giving bread at all.

If #2 is not possible, then it's either "I take a business hit for trying to provide a service to the less fortunate" or "Fuck the less fortunate".

So now with that said, how I feel about it? Yeah, I think being able to limit the rights of the people I give the bread to is the best of all options. A real world example of this is low income housing, where the recipient isn't allowed to sublet their place, because that would be all sorts of fucked up. Obviously a game key is not anywhere near as big of a deal, but it is a similar principle if we want businesses to be able to open up to as many markets as possible (not just for their own sakes)

Hi,

I've using Linux as my primary desktop at work and home for going on 25 years.

If you want to use newer software you should pick a distribution that is geared for that.

Debian stable is for people that DON'T want new software or even to try new software.

You are at odds with your choices.

Either switch to Testing, Unstable or pick an Ubuntu strategy ie Long term or every 6 months.

Of these choices Ubuntu is actually more conservative then Testing or Unstable as it walks forward in a predictable time based manner.

Good luck.

To kill the opener I ran the following.

killall zoom

There's a reason that food safety protocols in the restaurant biz are pretty strict: you don't get a biological adaptation to eating feces by eating a little feces here and there.

The autonomic dysfunction (including the super-horrible autonomic dysreflexia events) would still occur in higher level spinal cord injuries, including in people with higher level paraplegia and more commonly in quadraplegia, in the case of nerve transfer. It is not as good as it sounds, as autonomic dysreflexia occurs in up to 90% of people with injures above T6, to varying degrees. The autonomic ganglia (which runs adjacent to the spinal cord, and consists of a different type of nerve) controls this, not the spinal cord. You simply cannot do a nerve transfer for the autonomic nervous system without just about dying. By the way, trust me, autonomic dysreflexia is actually one of the worst feelings in the world.

The great https://philip.greenspun.com/panda/databases-choosing talks a bit about the issue:

The great thing about the file system is its invisibility. You probably didn't purchase it separately, you might not be aware of its existence, you won't have to run an ad in the newspaper for a file system administrator with 5+ years of experience, and it will pretty much work as advertised. All you need to do with a file system is back it up to tape every day or two.

He goes on to say that the main thing RDBMSes add to your web-serving life is ACID transactions, which I think is pretty much true. Sadly modern filesystems still don't support ACID transactions, though often they do manage to export sufficient functionality for user-level code like Postgres and SQLite to do so.

If the fuse is designed to keep cables for some voltage X from going up in flames, how will it keep cables for some voltage X-Y from going up in flames while also allowing Voltage X, when both are in spec?
