I think you are doing this wrong. If I want to install some software on linux, I install it from my distro's package repository or I compile it myself. There's no reason to expect different linux distros to have binary compatibility. This isn't closed-source software on a backwards-compatable ABI like on windows, there's no reason to install binaries from an unsigned source.

If the developers of thunderbird want, they can supply a binary compiled against your specific distro/version, or a statically-linked binary, or a container like an AppImage
The entire existence of the NRO was a secret until an unredacted congressional budget report accidentally was entered into the record in ~1990. The NRO donated two unlaunched, out-of-date satellites to NASA in 2011 and the sensors/mirrors were well ahead of anything NASA had, including the Hubble telescope. And these were the satellites that were operational decades previously some estimates saying the model was launched originally in the mid-70s.[1]

Don't underestimate what's up there. It's provably ahead of the civilian world by a long ways.

The easiest and best way for you (you'll get updates through signed packages, etc) is probably to install via the Ubuntu Software Center.

Though it can be difficult to download and run random software from the internet, I have to say, most Linux distributions have got the software distribution challenge through their package managers right compared to OSX and Windows. First thing I do on an OSX machine is install homebrew which helps a little.

This is at least partly on Thunderbird’s end. The more user friendly thing to do these days would be to distribute packages for each distro, which would behave a lot more like you’re expecting.

But “desktop Linux” is not an entity that can solve anything. It’s a loose collection of people and organizations all doing their own thing. If Thunderbird gives you an installer on Windows and an archive full of files rather than an installer on Linux, well…
Related to this, I do not understand how Green Dot is still in business. I worked for a fintech, and literally every single attempted transaction we got from a Green Dot card was fraud. We wrote special logic in the code that specifically required all Green Dot transactions to get a manual review - I can't remember if we switched this to just outright reject, because I'm not exaggerating when I say we never got a valid Green Dot transaction.
Couldn't there be a case for fraud?

What if we tried to make a distributed system? One where you could make a transaction and nobody could block it from being processed, because no one entity is in control. Something like Bittorrent, but for money.
All of Shuttle launch and most of reentry was automated; the landing itself was always done manually but a fully-automated landing was theoretically possible (the software was there, but it was never fully tested on the real Shuttle).

We "crudely sent people up" with the Shuttle because sending people up with the Shuttle was part of what we wanted to do with the thing. If there had been sufficient demand for fully-unmanned Shuttle missions, it could've been done; the fact that it wasn't means that there were too few such missions that couldn't be better served by other vehicles (that didn't have to worry about carrying around a ton of baggage focused around keeping people alive).

The reason guns are the number two deterrent behind dogs is because the overwhelming majority of burglaries generally, and in particular, for the purpose of theft, happen when the homeowner is gone. A gun won't operate itself, but people often leave their dogs home alone.

Given this context, the fear that those looking for guns would use this information to target a relative minority that have them becomes much more plausible.

I'm a Russian, grew up in USSR and like for many others in USSR members of my family fought, died, got decorated fighting German Nazi in WWII. So I wonder what kind of disrespect you mean.

This is my favorite question to ask if I feel the company is a fit and I want to work there:

- Now you've had a chance to get to know me, is there any reason you think I wouldn't be a suitable candidate for this role.

Surprisingly people are super honest when I ask this and it let's you clear up an miscommunication or simply acknowledge that there reason is probably true and pitch how you would overcome it.
Sure.

Sex crimes as a whole occur at an appalling high rate. I tend to believe the figures that in the US 1 in 5 or more women are raped or sexually assaulted in their lifetimes. The vast, vast majority of those occur through relationships. Stranger rape is pretty rare. The risk from a stranger recidivist in general falls into that category, even rarer. And non-stranger recidivist relationships- every woman develops her own spidey sense- imperfect, to be sure, but still there. In our family we work a great deal on developing that spidey sense when it comes to relationships, though comparatively speaking that's a much greater concern to me in general than stranger rape. I'm just not worried that my daughters or wife are going to find themselves assaulted by a stranger, one who doesn't have a gun.

If that stranger has a gun, everything changes. And that's not a function of the risk of sexual violence, that's a function of the possession of the gun.

In general guns represent an unacceptable- to me- escalation of violent potential. The availability of guns is the most extreme form- that of violence- of inequality between people.

The reason we have a society, a political system, rule of law, regulated military- is so that disputes can be settled as much as possible without violence. Of course people participating in regulated violent entities- police forces, the military- have great difficulty controlling gun use. Many of them join because they want to use guns! But the use of weapons by those entities is vastly (!!) less dangerous than any category of use by even trained civilians.

So that's why. The bottom line is that both sex crimes and gun use are about violence and power. Someone who wishes to exercise power without a gun is vastly (!!) less of a risk than someone who does so with a gun. And I see vanishingly few use cases for the possession of a gun that don't involve the exercise of power.

Hope that makes sense. Best wishes. Thanks for the engagement.

Most burglaries happen when the occupant isn't home. Unsurprisingly burglars don't like people to be there when they break in. Guns don't operate themselves so it's not crazy to think that people who have them would have their homes targeted.
because the latter is dominant in the market and you don't get to dictate the terms when you're on life support.
There are many threads on the thunderbird support forum complaining about no way to do this. I have not been able to find a way, at least with 91.7 which is what Debian comes with.

Also in our world recovering wastelands and regrowing population was a long and difficult process. In principle there should be exponential growth at some point, but it takes quite long in general to get to the point where it really starts to take off.
I have been in the marketing space for 6 years (since I was in college) and your post def caught my interest.

I place a high priority on personalization across the entire user experience and this emphasis currently yields amazing results for the DTC, Web3, & B2B space. As technology advances and Web3 adoption spreads, a marketing stack with a tech-heavy infrastructure will be needed. For a more adequate ad experience, there needs to be full immersion and personalization for each user at the individual level.

It seems inevitable that UX designers and industrial engineers will create a fully personalized AR/VR Web3 experience that mimics the feel of what shopping in a brick and motor store feels like.

Interested to hear what others think about this!
No such type of idea will ever work.

Because by definition, any long term storage solution will be able to sell energy and make a profit only a few number of times, and won't be able to recoup its CAPEX expenditure.

Let's say that by long term you mean 6 months (the typical period envisioned, i.e. you charge during the Summer months, and sell during the Winter months). Then you'll be able to sell energy once a year. If your system has a lifetime of 20 years, then you need the CAPEX to be only 20 times higher than the annual profit.

Let's further say you charge during Summer at zero cost, and sell during Winter at 40 cents/kWh (this is about 3 times the average cost of electricity in the US for 2021). Then the cost of this system should not be more than $8/kWh. For comparison the cost of a Tesla Powerpack is about $700 /kWh [1].

So for any system to have any hope to be "long term storage solution" it needs to be 100 times cheaper than the Tesla Powerpack.

In reality it needs to be about 1000 times cheaper, due to numerous other factors: less than 100% round-trip efficiency, the high cost of financing (driven by the significant risk of the project, which is driven by the huge uncertainty regarding future potential competing technologies, such as Hydrogen), operating and insurance costs, etc.

There is a way to solve the long term storage system. You need to solve the apparent paradox that if your system is designed to be long term, then you can't buy and sell very frequently. Here's how you solve it: you buy and sell in different markets. You buy (solar) electricity in Morocco pretty much all year long, convert it to Hydrogen, or some other form of chemical storage (ammonia, hydrogen peroxide, methanol, synfuel), and ship that to Germany, where it is converted to electricity, again all year long.

This way, you buy every single day and sell every single day. You are able to recoup your CAPEX costs, and make a handsome profit.

There are no other ways to solve the long term storage problem.

The EU knows that, and this is why it is betting so heavily on Hydrogen.

"Download this blob and run it to install software systemwide" isn't something that works well on any platform anymore, FWIW, and you shouldn't do it even (especially) if it's cleanly package in a self-executing installer.

Ubuntu provides thunderbird both as a stable release and as a containerized snap with rolling release semantics. Snap downloads are authenticated and secure. Get it from here if you want the latest and greatest, though they haven't blessed 102 as stable yet (it's still "latest/candidate" as of right now): https://snapcraft.io/thunderbird

In this case, though, I think you're complaining overmuch. What you got was a tarball intended for install from the command line, which is a distribution format well-understood by Linux hackers since before most of the commenters here were born. It's certainly not a "basic usability problem" to provide software in a consistent format for 30 years!

A large proportion of it is just destroyed. Along with human lives. Sure the money seems to come back around, but that's an accounting trick: it's printed by the guys paying anyway. The human labour and lives invested are gone, unless what they did is one of the fraction of the work permitted to spill into civilian life. A million man hours go into a warship's hull alone. What else could those hands and minds have done?

You can fund medical research without spending a million dollars sending a man to a desert, having his legs blown off, and flying him home. Hell, the US especially could actually use that research on civilians without bankrupting them!

And what about rebuilding bombed out cities? Is there so little else to improve?
The article makes it sounds like it was difficult to update the AppleII screen so that there was no flicker. It was not difficult. We had plenty of time.

I seem to recall we could flip between two different high res screens and so we drew on the hidden one and then flipped to the other one when the vertical blank interrupt occurred. Also, we rarely had to update the entire screen all at once.

Both the Apple and C64 had awkward graphics, but graphics speed was not a concern. The issue was more often disk storage and access speed, and of course memory limitations.

The thing I am most proud of as a programmer is I wrote an emulator of AppleII graphics for the C64 so we could reuse the art from the Apple version of the game. It was just barely fast enough.
Egypt was a civilization for about 1500 years before the camel was domesticated. Before the camel, you weren't going to get an army across six hundred miles of desert, and Egypt was easy to defend from anyone trying to enter along the Nile.

Egypt's food production was certainly critical to its success, but its isolation was both its defense and its downfall. Other civilizations competed with each other and advanced their technology, while Egypt existed happily in isolation, unaware of new technologies like bronze and chariots. After the camel, along with ships able to carry significant cargo, Egypt's food production became a juicy target, and it was conquered by one civilization after another.
I think it's more to do with prostitutes needing to keep the identities of their clients secret. So they keep no records, and are hard to audit for taxes.

It would be interesting to compare to other (legal) business that keep identities secret in this way.
> that same JS code will bring your server to its knees when you simply migrate it to an equivalent V8-powered JS backend.

It's not the same because on the server you usually have some form of caching, and the V8 engine will have already JIT'd that code as well.
It is evident that the emphasis on supporting rhythmic music since ABBA (~1970's) has really borne fruit, so much that their brand has recently started business to IP music. However, there is still a sense that not too many pop music will be recognized on equal terms with other kinds of music and other cultural expressions, financially and otherwise.
> but it's more complex than this. As an example, NPM's `sqlite3` package does not contain the actual library. Neither does Ruby's. You need the platform library for quite a few runtimes and now your single-command future has...multiple commands.

I think usual way to do it is say having shared library file like sqlite.so in some directory or installed through OS package manager, and thin API binding for specific runtime in form of runtime package (e.g. npm).

> I'm not aware of any federal law that makes it illegal to sell a car without registering it or titling it

if your car is involved in a crime, the cops will come looking for you. maybe you can beat a conviction but you might face an uphill battle even with an attorney. but sure, it's not illegal to sell a car without transferring the title, but neither is it considered a legal sale. that is still your car as long as the title is in your name.
>> This is where I think you’re confusing matters. Visa/MC aren’t “deciding”. They are simply asking a merchant to prove if unknown activity is NOT illegal.

This is the fundamental difference. Why is the burden of proof on the merchant of wrongdoing? And in reality, payment processors don’t ask for proof, they ban without recourse. Just google getting banned on PayPal and you’ll see thousands of merchants selling legal non-adult goods getting banned.

Now, it’s within Visa and MC’s prerogative to operate how they see fit. A government-backed or decentralized network would bring some needed competition.

The issue is mainly one of false advertising. Companies are looking for very different things in a consultant vs. a ft employee.

If you want to do this “scam” in an ethical way without the reputation risk, just be a consultant, work for multiple companies, and be honest about it.

You won’t get benefits and finding clients will probably be harder, but you can set your own schedule and charge a lot more for your time.
You can make that claim but all those goals lead to greater equality and advocated for a better standard of living for more people. This is objectively good.

You cannot use that to justify outright hate, advocacy of violence and bigotry which is just as objective. Objectively bad.

Eggs are happy to sit frozen for decades outside a human body after the donors death then be implanted in someone else. That’s a living organism though less hardy than a HeLa cell line. Sure they aren’t viable on their own, but apparently we can’t apply that standard to a fetus.

Clearly someone should not be considered alive because theirs frozen eggs still alive. That’s independent.

Eggs that are sitting around like that presumably have vastly higher odds of being implanted than one of your random skin cells. Something like 15 orders of magnitude or more.

Despite what is sometimes said, the moment of fertilization isn’t suddenly creating life both cells where alive before that point.

I’ll blame Linux as a whole for every app needing several deb files (one per distro Ubuntu/Debian/etc and one per LTS), several rpm files (one per distro RH/Fedora/etc and one per LTS), and several <100+ chars omitted for brevity).

On other platforms (Windows, macOS, Android, iOS) it’s fairly common to distribute GUI apps as a single binary so you don’t need an army of package maintainers. Perks of having many years of ABI stability.
