My Lexmark X4850 begs to differ. No drivers, doesn't work, period. Lexmark doesn't care, and apparently no Linux driver developers have this printer, so no one has made support for it yet.
Absolutely, and I'm not claiming that bisect is useful for debugging every regression. But it's saved me a LOT of time on a number of occasions, and shouldn't be dismissed out of hand just because it relies on manual testing. Even if going through 6 or 7 bisect revisions takes a few hours, it can sometimes be completely worth it.
+1 for Nash
I think it works ok if you make a new branch from a known good commit, add the test, then rebase the new changes on top. You could do that with

git checkout -b testing
git rebase -i HEAD~50 (or whatever)
move test commit to bottom, then save.

Because i boldly go where someone has gone before ! ;)
What is really interesting about this document is that they are trying to create the rule book for determining suspected and actual terrorists. This is not an easy task.

This is why they create a 'nomination', 'verification' and 'implementation' process with their “originators,” “nominators,” “aggregators,” “screeners,” and “encountering agencies.”

But the problem comes down to the actual facts. This document does a terrible job of separating a process design - First a candidate gets originated by an originator, who passes that said candidate on to a nominator, etc - from the basic factual requirements needed to become listed as a suspected (or actual) terrorist. (Though the latter would seem easier to determine.)

What is really needed is a clear set of factually determined checks to show that someone is indeed a suspected terrorist. Not a process design that creates a structure towards watch list inclusion.

In design this is often a problem. It's a very common mistake. Teams, Companies, Professionals design a process, but not the necessary, required steps - and everything just gets lost in that process, especially when everything takes place according to the plan.

Here's what the watch list needs. A list that triggers inclusion.

If a appears to have done x, y or z, a get's "originated." If x, y, and z are verified, a gets nominated. At this point counter rationales for x, y and z must be presented to excuse the suggestion of terrorism when there is none. Etc.

What is important are the verifiable X, Y and Z actions. That's what a document of this type should present.

Now I know that the response is that if people are told how they get onto a watchlist, they will try to avoid those tasks while maintaining their terrorist agenda, thereby avoiding being categorized as a suspect.

But isn't that the point, don't we want people to not engage in pre-terrorist activity, like going to a training camp in Afghanistan, or sending money to organizations who have actively taken responsibility for civilian bombings. Isn't that the point?

Getting people to be classified as suspected terrorists is not what a watchlist should be about. A watchlist should be about commonly agreed upon actions that as a society we do not support, and we can change our minds about what we do and do not support over time.

Then the watchlist can be public, those on the watchlist can be public, their reason for being on the watchlist can be public and we can decide - together- who should and should not be on a watchlist.

We already do it with criminals. Why is this process any different?

Criminals can be just as deadly and corrupting to our society, but yet we've figured out a way (to some degree) to deal with them. We should be able to do the same with Terrorists.

A new process is possible, one that will in fact make us, and everyone safer. This method is not that process. Or at least that is my opinion.
The original quote was:

"Get paid for one or two years by your work insurance. After that you fall back to a free basic income (for as long as you need). And still this system is generally not exploited: People work hard here."
I think there are factors other than oil at work. Given the extreme fundamentalist religiosity of the Bush administration, I've suspected for quite some time that Iraq was driven by religious imperatives at the top with 9/11 and possibly oil used as rationalizations.

I think it's well within the realm of possibility that the U.S. spent some number of trillions (I've heard from one to four) of dollars of taxpayer money to attempt to initiate the Biblical apocalypse and the second coming of Christ. Since WWII every major military event or war has been seen by that crowd as a sign that "it is the hour of the time," 9/11 certainly included. The fact that it happened right about at the millennium added even more fuel to the fire.

Throughout history leaders have often squandered the wealth of their kingdoms on crazy religious crusades, and being either rich or politically powerful does not exclude one from believing in things that are completely bat-guano insane.

It's one of the only explanations for Iraq that really makes sense to me. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 and it would have been far cheaper to develop better oil drilling technology here at home than to invade for oil. The war cost more than developing the entire Bakken play. It would also have been cheaper and ultimately more effective to deploy a missile defense shield and better border screening for hazardous materials if we were really concerned about WMDs. For a trillion dollars we could likely field Reagan's Star Wars dream complete with a staffed orbital space laser command.
Virtualized Desktops and GPU Acceleration: Is This The Future of Computing?
> between the Intel cards I've always been using

That's probably a big part of the issue; my experience with Intel wireless on Linux hasn't been as great as with, say, Atheros chipsets.

Plus, NetworkManager. Good God is that terrible. To put it in perspective: on one of my laptops (a PowerBook G4 running OpenBSD), I basically run the following by hand to connect to a wireless network:

sudo ifconfig bwi0 nwid $MY_SSID
sudo ifconfig wpa
sudo ifconfig wpakey $MY_WPA_KEY
sudo dhclient bwi0

Even that - on a crappy Broadcom wireless NIC, no less - is faster and more reliable than NetworkManager connecting with a good Atheros card.
> I thought this required me to unlock my phone and say 'I trust this computer'

It does, but only once, and then it's almost impossible to "un-trust" the computer without wiping your phone. Besides, you probably have already "trusted" your home computer -- which could be exploited between then and now and then used as a vehicle for attack.

And, as some commenters have mentioned, when you plug into a new device, use an airplane USB charging port for example, the phone may repeatedly ask you to accept a pairing with the other side (the USB charger/device), and an accidental tap on the wrong button can leave the door open.
First of all, code signing certificates are not "plain-old SSL certs". They're for code signing, not SSL.

Second, Apple includes their own root certificates in their own operating systems just like everybody else. I've personally implemented a code signing mechanism for a platform that had no root certificates except for those I personally generated (and still control).

The public CA system is just irrelevant here. It has nothing to do with anything.

Can Animals Think? (1999)
Right, you make money off open source software by monetizing its complements. Intel pays for Linux kernel developers because having a quality Linux kernel means that companies are more likely to buy some commodity x86 box than they are to buy a commercial Unix running on SPARC or POWER. Red Hat spends money on all kinds of Linux development because they can monetize their support effort. This works well for some kinds of software that have complements that lend themselves well to monetization by the same people who are funding development. Other kinds of projects aren't as lucky.
This looks like a fine product and kudos to its creators, but I hate that products like this encourage bad practices for freelancers/consultants. Basically, if you're charging in way that requires software to track how much clients owe you, you're doing it wrong. Take the advice of tptacek and patio11 and charge by the day or the week, not the hour.

Hi, hope all is well.

Nothing on the site is a lie. Especially, the fact that erasing data from a hardware using software is not a guaranteed way of ensuring that your data ever sees the light of day.

As a matter of fact, check out DBAN's homepage: http://www.dban.org/. The first bullet point: No guarantee of data removal (e.g. DBAN does not detect or securely erase SSDs)

Also, do a quick google search for "data extraction after formatting", you'll find plenty of solutions. From software downloads to forensic labs.

I will admit, however, that the FAQ answer lacks some depth. The site just launched, and the FAQ section is very much a work in progress. I will make sure to give more details, and reference some articles that back the point up.

Let me know if you have more questions. Thanks for the feedback!
I like https://wakatime.com because it does the time tracking for me automatically so I don't have to use a timer app.
I use it often and its performance is acceptable by my standards. I do have LTE though.
Thanks for the feedback! And there's no shame in that plug.

Employee and Contractor don't have much difference within Tiempo in terms of rights. But, they have profound differences with how they're treated once you integrate with accounting software like QuickBooks Online.

We plan to get rid of the "Draft" status as it's underused and will allow us to simplify the design further (just Submitted and Approved status).

The timer not allowing for details until it's stopped is something we'll address shortly.
That was just my understanding, having spoken to people in the program where I went to school. It seemed like most of them were being sponsored by a company. It would be interesting to know whether this number changes based on the quality of the program. I think many companies will only sponsor a candidate who gets accepted into a top program. Across all EMBA programs, the 35% figure seems right, based on Google.
I know this thing is personal/individual, and different books give difference advice, but we just had our baby boy sleep with us, until he was about 8 months old (quite long, I know, and our bed is pretty small).

You really learn a lot about his patterns, movements, and you just feel him around. No need for monitors, setting things on/off, and no. We didn't suffocate him or squashed him. It was very natural to us (and him).

I can wholeheartedly recommend it to new parents, and I can honestly say I miss him around now that he sleeps in his own bed just next to ours.
So, this article is talking alot about tech and not so much about the bureaucracy that is involved getting paid online.

I'm building a marketplace, airbnb, model, and have applied to braintree, the process has taken 10 days and counting, so far they have asked for the following documents.

- Copy of my passport,

- Company registration papers

- Bank account statement,

- Buisness plan,

- Terms of service,

- Privacy Policy

(Physical address and phone on website, apperently a requirement from VISA/Mastercard)

How does Stripe solve this problem? I have never needed to provide a business plan when embedding a YouTube Video.

Note, I'm in a country where Braintree's Marketplace offering (or Stripes, or Balanced) is not available. So I'm doing the payouts to the service providers myself.
It's on par with using vi, but once you get over the speed bump it actually feels natural and you go through the menus without even thinking about it.

Granted, this isn't easy for everyone.

Yes! This idea had actually come up before.

Thanks for the suggestion!
Yup, Thinkpad X60 with Intel wifi cards seems to work OK provided you add the non-free firmware iwlwifi package. Some of the X61 and X61s series had an Atheros wifi card and would work from a default Debian install.

I've also had good luck with a Dell Latitiude E5420 (i5). This and similar models have a Broadcom wifi card which is a known problem so I simply purchased an Atheros half size wifi card and popped it in. Unlike Thinkpads, the Dell bios will take hardware changes in its stride.

Of course, we should not have to do these things. Perhaps as laptop sales decrease, a crowdfunded fully free laptop will become economically viable.
This idea is certainly compelling from some perspectives but isn't there a lot of evidence that most people hate being nickel and dimed (which is literally what this proposal is) and in basically every instance have preferred purchasing goods in bundles?
If I'm not mistaken, it didn't find the right patch series. The article says the function changed in 3.15 and the underlying reason for his issue was different and not part of that series.

Hackers like us forget how hard some of this stuff is to put together, and time consuming.

Once you've invested time into your homegrown system, your product inertia grows a great deal. "Why do x when you could just do y,z,a,b,c together?" should be a red flag to folks like us that we're not really suggesting something easier for other people, even if it's easier for us.

It's for this reason that I love openSUSE - or, more specifically, YaST. Thanks to YaST, you don't have to worry about all the crap that goes with getting a service to run and be configured properly.

I have a good number of servers and desktops running openSUSE, and only once have I had to manually edit a configuration file (in order to work around some obscure DBus glitch on a coworker's personal desktop); everything else has been manageable with YaST alone.

If we're making claims of bad faith, lets go with a much less conspiratorial thought: Some blogger oversold a bug they found because they wanted the self promotion of finding a security-related bug in the thing seen as OpennSSL done right built the guys that take security seriously.

Probably true, though that's of the "live by the sword" variety. It's like being a grammar critic: one had better exercise perfect grammar or expect to hear about it.

One of the major talking points of the LibreSSL initiative is a 4 year old bug in OpenSSL if you use a non-standard, non-default mode and multithread access. There are zero demonstrated exploits of it, it is by most analysis at most responsible for dropped connections, so it is far less concerning than even this "oversold" bug.

That is the bug that the LibreSSL team always talks about, railing about a "critical security vulnerability that sat unfixed for 4 years". It has been referenced multiple times throughout this discussion.

So again, what goes around comes around. Someone criticized a product that claims to be version 2.0, and which is based on long-proven, long-existing code, and found a pretty extraordinary fault that looped back to the LibreSSL team simply removing functionality they didn't think was relevant. Alright, in reality it just isn't a big deal, but it is what a team sets themselves up for when they criticize others with seeming impunity.
I dont know, possibly, I see now that mii-tool is packaged together with ip. So really, it depends, it is different layers - different tools , but could still package all together into one package and have one syntax for all. wpa_supplicant and dhcpcd should go under the net-tools/ip package too.

ip link should also show the information of link-speed from mii-tool, ip addr should take an dhcp argument instead of requiring a separate dhcpcd. Then merge wpa_supplicant into ip, perhaps make a ip-wlink which requires some SSID/keyphrase to set it to "up" state.

So wpa_supplicant dhcpcd iwconfig/iwlist/scan-tools should be merged to net-tools and have same syntax as the rest of the net-tools package.

But yeah, even then you need to learn the layers and set them up. In my opinion Windows got it wrong, its user interface is horrible and people often complain about networking problems which are really UI problems or bugs in Windows/drivers there too.

This problem is classic - networking is a stack and thats a fact, and the best tools/UI is one which allows you to dig through that stack layer by layer. On windows its all or nothing.

That's the ideal! The problem with time tracking is that the hours don't get captured in the first place. Automatic tracking greatly increases the likelihood that the time is captured. We'll do more to automate in the future. Our current focus on that front is integration with accounting systems as those tend to be a costly part of the process to the business (either time lost or money spent paying a bookkeeper).
Not much better on OS X ... my brand new laptop with the most current OS X is totally unreliable about connecting to wi-fi on wake from sleep. Even on reboot half the time it fails. Maybe different cause from that highlighted by the OP's article ... but in the end not much better situation.
I think that in most large companies the efficiencies produced by economies of scale are mostly captured by the management hierarchy (in terms of executive compensation and the support apparatus provided by consultants)

And why not? - the main shareholders are institutional investors who can't manage investments in hundreds of small companies, so it's not like they're going to take their money elsewhere.
> My working hypothesis to explain these inefficiencies is that the people and supporting coalitions closest to them tend to gain from them, and that selection pressures on political coalitions are often much stronger than selection pressures on firms.

Economists have a term for this, the principal-agent problem: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal%E2%80%93agent_problem. It is a key issue in understanding why corporations deviate from the efficient ideal. Most of the examples listed boil down to principal-agent problems.

Consider, for example, poison pills. A company might adopt a poison pill because its executives and board feel that they might get replaced in a takeover. On the flip side, they may realize that the acquisition will be disastrous, and the other company's executives may be pushing for it because it feathers their own nests.

I don't think any economist thinks that firms are actually efficient. They use it as an idealized model for analysis, just as an engineer might use an idealized linear model of a more complex physical system.

That's strange, since GNU/Linux and OS X both (last I checked) use CUPS for printing.
