No. It never makes sense. You cannot justify the Intellectual Slavery system, anymore than you can justify the Human Slavery system. It's a restriction on human freedoms; it's incompatible with actual property rights (as it restricts what I can do with my own physical property); it's a subsidy to those who were born into it (when you follow the money that flows to copyrights and patents holders, you see the majority goes to inherited wealth).

It's economically bad and morally wrong, is as much as you can have something morally wrong. Here is a classic example of what the Intellectual Slavery industry has brought us: https://qz.com/1125690/big-pharma-is-taking-advantage-of-pat... half a million Americans dead from a "novel" patent.

The system is utter garbage. We need to shatter the brainwashing that these things make sense.
Currently for the stable and beta channels that is true for now. Of course that changes in May when we fully take over maintenance. But for the alpha channel, and experimental edge channel, we have already diverged with updated packages.

But, yes, in the beginning we simply removed the CoreOS trademark similar to how CentOS removes the RHEL trademark. But very different from CentOS, we knew from the start that the upstream would eventually go away and all maintenance would be carried by Kinvolk and other contributors.

I was a member of an Apple user group in the 1980s as a young kid. Things I remember:

- someone remarked how sorry they felt for people who had to type on IBM keyboards.

- someone explained the difference between a serial and parallel bus to me.

- only one or two of the adult members had a clue about programming, others were early adopters of various programs. Guidance on how to learn to program or what to buy/read was minimal and unhelpful.

- The leader of the group had cut is teeth on the Lisa and would mutter comparisons about the Lisa when using the Apple machines.

- The group met at the local Apple authorized retailer.

- The early Apple enthusiasts were (in hindsight) pretty cynical about Tandy, TI, etc. In hindsight I really think that was foolish of them.
> Using sanity checks in software is normal practice, especially in software that calculates critical things. It works.

Literally the whole point, that I've repeated to you 3 times now, is that a single cent is not critical if it means losing the entire order.

This isn't a rockets trajectory or a an MRI scanner, it's a glorified tablet selling high-volume impulse food at a good markup, so stop pretending as if the context doesn't matter when discussing things.

Interesting this happened in only some participants.

You’re right, when I need it fitted nicely I will wear Speedos under the board shorts for that. 90% of the time I’m scuba diving and have tech shorts that go over the wetsuit, so bunching around the legs doesn’t matter much.

What does "this" here refer to? (Thanks for the reply :- ))
The story is not fully clear. It's possible he already tried to contact Microsoft and tried to sell it to them. They might have refused. But the idea of it going on an auction might pressure them into buying it.

Brian did contact Microsoft for comment, and their response doesn't mention that they want to buy it.

I consider it bad reporting that Brian doesn't mention whether Mike already contacted Microsoft or not.
Actually I like it. It's a bit like a nightmare.
In the US many brands are Portuguese or Italian, unless you’re talking strictly tuna, then yes, most are US brands.
I wonder if there's any correlation between static/dynamic typing fans of programming languages, and people who organize their lives with highly structured apps versus a big text file.

I've tried to use various to-do apps and calendars and email organizing systems (and some of them look really cool!), and they're all way too structured for me to use for even my most boring week. They're too complex, but not in useful ways, because I don't get the flexibility I want out of that complexity. I end up putting most of my information in the big "NOTES" field, or in giant email drafts to myself, where it's not really usable for anything.

Sadly, while I see many effective programmers who prefer static or dynamic languages, and many effective organizers who use structured or unstructured task systems, essentially 100% of the new software I see are new highly structured systems. Were Emacs and Hypercard unique events in all of computing history, with a power and flexibility that is never to be repeated, for fear of crossing the streams?

A membership report is tangential to the topics in general conference, but that was never left out of conference (at least until the church stopped growing).

You don't have to spend time talking about it in church. Publish an audited yearly financial report, and send it to members in the mail.

And yes it does matter. The church operates like a business. Members literally think of tithing as a form of giving to charity. They should have some expectations and understanding of how that money is spent. Would tithing receipts be the same as they currently are if everybody knew the church had hundreds of billions of assets, 15 years of tithing on reserve, and spent less than a percent of it actually helping those that are in need of charity?
100% agree with this. Another thing that users have to deal with on the web, but not on apps: Endless banners and popups telling you about useless things like cookies, emails subscription, notifications, gimme-your-location, "download our app", etc.
I'm sorry about your friend. If it's a case of abuse (as it sounds like), I'm truly sorry, and I don't know anyone - inside or outside the church - who would think that's okay. If she wants her name removed (and it hasn't already been done), that can definitely be done - she just needs to talk to the bishop or stake president and formally request it to be removed (it's really not a complicated process).

Those stories should be heard, and there absolutely needs to be transparency. It does come with the side effect of making those cases sound disproportionately "typical", when they really aren't. I've never experienced or known a victim of abuse in the church (that I know of), but it does break my heart to hear about it happening, and I would encourage people to speak up when it does happen (especially to higher-up leaders who can do something about it).

Bad people slip through the cracks (as they do in any organization). It's unfortunate, but the church is doing a lot to help prevent those wrongs and mistakes. I absolutely still stand with my assertion that "mistakes are rare and local leaders will help however they can".

Something that harms a cashier (a worker) is harmful to a worker, which is for most intents and purposes "human."

"Robots are stealing our Goddamned jobs!" is a popular sentiment around the globe. Who is using these robots to replace jobs that should belong to people? Corporations. Corporations are not people, as much as some sorts seem to believe they are.

Taking advantage of a corporation's mistake hurts billionaires and millionaires (this includes McDonald's franchisees, as the corporation doesn't allow just anyone to become one, costs are high), who aren't really people in the conventional sense of the word.

These corporations, billionaires, millionaires and so forth are the ones who are stealing from the people; taking advantage of their errors for something like this is good. McDonald's spends millions a year on lobbying to harm the common good; $5 or $10 or even $1,000,000 from them will mean nothing to them, but will go a long way for the people taking it.

Taking advantage of McDonald's Corporation errors is morally no different than shoplifting from Wal*Mart, which similarly spends millions lobbying and harming the common good, the only difference is that the former presents no risk to the person doing it.

In an era where "No one should be a billionaire!" is a popular political viewpoint, and billionaires have effectively stolen the common person's political agency through lobbying, it seems reasonable that people won't see any harm in taking stuff from them, especially small amounts that they won't miss, like this.

I don't necessarily agree with the sentiment, but it's definitely reasonable and understandable to see why people don't care about taking from people who, from their perspective, didn't earn it in the first place, and won't notice that it's gone.
From the article:“It seems to me that Microsoft should stand up and shoulder the burden of the mistake they made,” he said. “But they’ve shown no real interest in doing that, and so I’ve shown no interest in giving it to them.

Why HTML whatsoever?
A domain isn't property that anyone has to respect. I trust my domain resolver to point me at reasonable IP addresses. Not to criminals, people trying to entice criminals, or people trying to extort corporations. I appreciate the fact that the third is likely redundant with the first in most places.

I am entirely on board with just killing this domain out from under him.
Fiberglass is pretty inert, right? It's also used for boat hulls. I wonder if turbine blades could be cut up and used for artificial reef construction the way decommissioned ships sometimes are. But perhaps the blades are lighter than water.
The bash script I was talking about simply curls the .txt file from Dropbox, edits/appends it, then curls it back up to Dropbox (overwriting the old copy).

Dropbox iOS app allows you to create .txt files if you absolutely need to take a note from your phone. I’m never far from my computer personally.

I also wrote a Chrome extension that does essentially the same thing as my bash script (as well as save bookmarks to Dropbox). Its caching mechanism is very convenient for writing long notes that will be edited over hours or days—if the machine goes down, they’re all stored in Chrome’s local memory the next time I boot.
Also consumers often just use the router their ISP provided.

Suppose your router does not have VLAN support, and you do not wish to replace it. Can you add sufficient VLAN support to your network by adding switches with VLAN support?

TP-Link has a couple of switches (TL-SG105E and TL-SG108E) [1] that are not full managed switches but do more than common unmanaged switches. They are priced about the same as unmanaged switches. I got the 8 port model for $30.

These switches have some VLAN capability, although I haven't looked into what it can do. (I got it for its port mirroring ability, not its VLAN ability).

If you are using your ISP's router/WiFi access point, and your IoT devices use WiFi then I'd guess there is not much you could do with switch-based VLANs. The Hue bulbs, though, talk to a Zigbee hub that you plug into your ethernet, so you can make all the Hue traffic go through a switch.

Another problem is that nearly all the documentation I've found on using VLANs gets real "enterprisey" real fast. For even fairly sophisticated home users it is probably really confusing, and so even if they have a router with good VLAN support they might not be able to figure out how to use it.

[1] https://www.tp-link.com/us/home-networking/5-port-switch/tl-... (SG108E is essentially the same, just with 8 ports instead of 5).
Nothing escapes entropy, but if you multiply the rate at which everything naturally decays with the sheer volume of things that exist and will one day need to be replaced, we're going to bankrupt the planet of its resources.

I wish more things were made to last. Imagine working in a 5000 year old skyscraper that's as good as the day it opened, or driving a 500 year old car that's as reliable as the day you purchased it.

Humanity's going to last a long, long time. Hopefully.

At least resources like wood and water are renewable. But oil and metal aren't. When we run out of oil, we can kiss plastics and cosmetics goodbye. As for metals, recycling scrap metal and asteroid mining are our only long term options.

People get concerned about the toxicity of fish, yet the air they breathe in the polluted city they live it does far more harm than a food can ever do. Not to mention smokers, but the rates of smokers with health concerns about food has been going down, anecdotally speaking.

Seafood is very healthy, the populations that eat a lot of seafood are very healthy, the stories about heavy metals or plastics are blown out of proportion and the toxicity claims is not supported by evidence.

I'm actually far more concerned about the preservation of wild life, with wild fish populations (such as tuna) going down due to over-consumption. I actually seek farmed fish — the omega 3 content might be lower, but the benefits of omega 3 are probably overblown too.

So there might actually be some benefits to the fearmongering, even if irrational ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A preemptible P100 + VM on Google Compute Engine is about ~$0.45/hr, so to exceed that value with Colaboratory Pro (ignoring conveience factors) you'd need to train for more than 22 hours in a month. Which, for deep learning, is not too unreasonable.

Reading between the lines of both the signup page and up-to-date FAQ, it seems like the free TPU in Colab notebooks will be depreciated, which isn't too surprising.
Walnuts apparently have more omega-3 content (by weight) than fish.
I've personally never had to do any fine tuning with Proton. It works fine out of the box for almost everything I've tried. I think there are options available, but most of the people I've seen that want to squeeze out every ounce of performance will use Lutris because it comes with community tested tweaks.

I'd ask the opposite question - at what scale would you want to have your own custom setup rather than RDS? Managing your own database infrastructure for workloads other than "a few queries a second" is hard work with a lot of pitfalls, and you better be at a size that there's some benefit (high levels of customization, use case specific tuning, economies of scale, etc). As a person who does exactly this for a living, I'd rather shell out for RDS or a similar offering than my own setup most of the time. Especially at first, before you discover what exactly you /don't/ like about it or what you'd want different.
What strikes me about these IOT devices is that their value doesn't just go down as they get old/outdated/unsupported, but they can easily become a negative value that far exceeds the original price paid.

That is fairly unique (almost unknown in any simple physical device) and requires a very different purchasing/disposal/return policy.

I would say it used to be about games. But now many people use laptops and Linux has pretty terrible support for most of them. It often "works", but you'll usually have some issue with bluetooth or wifi or the trackpad, and good luck getting anywhere near as good battery life as Windows or Mac.

The minimal actual-machine install of a Linux distro pretty much always has a text editor, doesn't it? You'd have to be at sub-busybox levels of features to lack that.

To some extent you can remove everything but the package installer but that's not exactly a supported configuration.

I see the problem of /r/exmormon differently. Since I'm no longer at a point where I feel personally attacked when Mormonism is criticized, I can appreciate some of the more harsh stories that people have to tell, and can understand the anger that results, even though I did not experience nearly as much of the abuse as others have. I think the ultimate problem with /r/exmormon now is that a lot of the good content (personal stories, community support/advice, discussions and debates) is drowned out and dominated by people that just want to lolvote at memes all day. It's the natural result of all undermoderated large Reddit communities that the content eventually serves the lowest common denominator and so the front page is largely a bunch of lazy memes lazily upvoted and zero discussion.

> I wonder what kind of authority ICANN has in revoking domain name registrations in extreme circumstances.

Not even close to the way this works ICANN does not 'revoke' domain names. There are ways to take possession of a domain name but that would not be the process (nor should it be).

> He could just quote Microsoft $2M and be done with this whole thing.

If you think selling anything and in particular a domain name is that easy you should try to sell a domain name to a large corporation and report back the results. It's not trivial and to a large corporation in particular and further for any amount (much less way less) not assured in any way.
In theory Flutter allows you to do that. (With the caveat that you have to write a ton of custom code due to the lack of libraries).
IMHO, making WebAssembly fully and tightly integrated with browsers like JS is today will be the next big leap forward. In such a way that you won't need to use JS at all - direct access to DOM and other Web APIs, choice to use whatever programming language you want

Java applets came 20 years too early - potentially had the power to do everything we do with the web today but 10x faster and more cleanly.

The web remains one place where you lack the freedom to easily use whatever language you like - WASM will end the era of JS if they do it right.

The JS ecosystem is extremely wild and turbulent - even something as simple as "I need this project to be built exactly as it was in August 2017" is almost impossible with the npm world.

Meanwhile native apps compiled in 1985 still run, and can even build today with minimal fuss.

Lets be honest - how many of you use JS because there was no other option?
Its not a terrible language - in fact I like JS/ES7 more than python, but it's still one of the pillars of chaos in the world of programming
