But, not surprisingly, "For most users who are emailing, reading some web forum, social media, and maybe office that matters very little." don't understand or know how to do rolling backups or operate a VM, so keeping their OS up to date is the best option. Denying them that, regardless of how little they use the internet, is reckless at best.
GDPR fines are scaled on revenue to prevent for precisely this reason
I think she needs some kind of counselling or mentoring because working long stretches like that is not going to lead to long term gain as she's already noticed with her health. The attitude and work ethic are commendable but it's not what I want as a role model for my own kids.
That doesn't make it any less true.
Absolutely fascinating, I never knew these existed, thank you.
The comments here so far are one reason I prefer HN. If this was reddit the first post undoubtedly would have been a meme pic with the phrase "Aliens!!" :)
You're equating our currently accepted laws of physics as being the only true set of physical laws. How naive to assume that what we know now is the only truth.
And conversely just because one story is not 100% true doesn't mean that every story is not true, which is what most academics appear to assume.
It always amazes me why historians and researchers start with the assumption that any tale from the past is fanciful until proven otherwise. We have little to no proof that our very distant ancestors sat around making up stories for the fun of it and then passing them on to future generations, when they'd surely be more likely to pass on useful information that keeps the tribe alive. Yes there will be embelishments, but we seem to treat everything from before the last couple if hundred years as total lies.

Having not owned a Tesla or even been very near to one, does the summon feature have an option for "hitting the brakes" as the article states happened? Quote - "The maimed Tesla looked as if it would have kept driving, Gururaj said, if his wife hadn’t hit the brakes."
Sadly other countries (I'm in the UK) don't have such protections.
An upside to cloud gaming (the same for any cloud use) is that you can take advantage of the providers upgrades for little extra cost. So if AWS upgrade to Tesla V-series you don't have to spend the money to buy that new card, just spend a relatively smaller amount extra each month for the cloud usage. So if I buy a GTX 10-series today and AWS (magically) used Tesla tomorrow, I haven't lost out. Obviously the amount of hours you spend gaming is still very much the leading factor in whether you cloud game or not, but for the "casual" 8 to 10 hours per week gamer, cloud is possibly still the best option.
USA wants nuclear weapons because because it’s the USA, it wants them as a tool to poke the world with to get whatever it wants and it wants them to be able to perpetuate their unhanded regime.
Your statement can be made to fit any country that has a nuclear arsenal or wants one. USA and it's NATO lackies are bullies, pure and simple. USA wants to move it's embassy to Jerusalem, most countries don't agree and USA tries to bully them in the UN. Just because you're the biggest kid in school doesn't give you a justification for bullying smaller ones. But conversely, I'd lay money on North Korea wanting nuclear weapons just to piss off the USA, and see what the USA will respond with. It's pretty standard tactics for enemies to annoy each other and Trump and Kim are the worst kind of idiots in charge of a country because neither one is willing to back down. All this boils down to is a dick measuring contest between the USA and NK, nothing more.
But as shown with the EU's GDPR regulation, even if your data is outside the EU but some of your customers are inside they'll regulate to get you to abide by their laws anyway. It's bloody ridiculous on several fronts.
And AWS is already well on this

I strongly disagree that CPAN is the best package manager. The CPAN repository might be one of the largest for a specific language, but the cpan comnand line is aegul, you can't even remove a package automatically with it. Don't get me wrong, because I love Perl, it was my main language for 10+ years, but the default package manger us awful.
I don't see how it's an operating system. Did I miss something in the article?
We have Bitbucket on our own servers, and we're moving it back to either Atlassian's hosting or to Github. The reason being that we spend far too much time per month hand holding the server when it goes mental and takes all of the RAM and then decides not to server any pages. And it's not for a lack of resources on the server either, 16Gb RAM and 4 core virtual machine, running Linux. So we have more downtime than either Github and Bitbucket combined.
Don't blame, educate.
Well the UK creates laws so that banks can't lose out, why can't we do it for the rest of the country instead of just the fat lazy bank owners?
And that's the attitude that leads to the cure glut of IOT hardware with significant security bugs or no security at all. Build it fast and ship asap is not a sound plan for any software,and even less so for something that needs security. Anyone with an incentive of formal CS theory education will write better software than the same person before they had that education.
"the carrot"
I see what you did there.
Windows might have chocolatey, one among a small number package managers for Windows (including the bleh Windows 10 Store), but not being baked into the OS distribution means the average user isn't going to install it. Users want what's already in the Start menu/page, not something they have to go to a site, copy some (as far as they know) random text, paste it into a power shell, and then hope it works. You effectively need a package manager to install the package manager. That might be ok for your power users, but the average person what wants to install GIMP because he's been told by his mate down the pub that it's "like a free Photoshop", would rather go to the GIMP site and download it, he won't even know about chocolatey because he's so used to using Windows without a package manager that he'll just Google "GIMP" and hope the fist link is the right one. Windows missed the boat on package managers and the Windows 10 Store definitely does not make it any easier.
'A maximum punishment “would also help address any false perception that unauthorized access of a computer is ever justified or rationalized as the cost of living in a wired society — or even worse, a crime to be celebrated,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Maya D. Song wrote.'
Perhaps someone should pass this on to the NSA?
I had the same result (in the UK), except didn't get told anything about counselling.
Wouldn't the lack of earth gravity mean that the fluid wouldn't necessarily be resting in the usual place at the point of the lumbar entry point for the test? That would mean the results would be skewed surely, or at least un-reliable.
I have exactly the same approach to interviews and hiring as you, it's never failed me yet. I don't care if they can code fizzbuzz in 20 languages, I want to know if they are ready to carry on learning when they need to and they can find information they don't currently have.
Why would I want to "include" an OS in my code? Not rolling, genuinely curious as to the specific needs.
