It most certainly is if support is focused on the wrong packages and features because they don't have the data to make informed decisions.

Third-world country edge-cases. Murder is still murder. The preponderance of donations in first-world countries saves lives, but is so rarely done despite the pressing demand. When you or family member needs a life-saving transplant, which system would you want?

Distros shouldn't waste time and effort on supporting and packaging language-specific, high-churn code packages except in very limited circumstances. Let the language specific-tools do those. Upstream is best, local fragmentation is wasteful.

False dichotomy fallacy. Linux distributions need to engineer for side-by-side installation of multiple versions and not get tied up to those common locations. nix is just one example as an interesting idea, while Homebrew and stow are better ideas.

More "innovations" which "justify" their own existence with novelty, but eliminate useful properties, backward compatibility, interoperability and standards with blissful ignorance. Standardization is a Good Thing(TM)... many formats creates a confusing dependency hell across multiple systems. Deb/apt works well. This will be deprecated in 6 months after a major security incident. Canonical is mismanaged and capricious, and this is just another in a long line of examples.

Those three (3) Hillary speeches must be absolute mana from heaven because her standard contract includes a client-paid stenographer, in addition to the $200k/ea.

Only fools would give these access-buying, crooks a dime... unless they wish to continue subverting freedom with this plutopsephocracy.

Some folks just haven't heard of stealth mode and formation.

It's hard to call something BS when they're not yet ready or publicly-launched.

PS: Gawker is bankrupt, content quality on Gizmodo is also suffering terribly.

Please leave it like countries with good organ donation opt-out policies.

Speaking of which, become an organ donor if you live in an opt-in country.

Opt-in, like optional security, rarely gets used.

Tinder + "Periscope" + live chat + booze = ROTFLMFAO

Yup. In undergrad lower-division courses, we were explicitly informed of this and tradeoffs of proprietary toolchain features. And, most lectures / graders / readers followed through. They had a custom hand-in system on the student-side and then their own scripts to run batches of student builds wherever they chose. Some courses wanted Makefiles, others wanted things like "build.sh" and "run.sh".

BTW: The uni also claimed (unverified, could be an empty threat) a multi-institution (Berkeley, Stanford, MIT, etc.), code plagiarism detection system covering two decades of coursework. (Maybe MOSS.)

That's unlikely because he would obviously have security (costing a $2-3k USD for decent-sized detail).

A chartered flight (light or mid-sized jet) would be around $30k USD.

There's direct Aeroflot flights between Moscow and Oslo (SVO - OSL).

US fighters and/or ships could _arguably_ intercept a civilian aircraft in international waters and force landing in another country.

It's always been this way and always will... neverending, necessary security "arms race."

It's a rational conjecture that hunters tend to strive to continue winning the intelligence arms race over prey, and that technology tends (but not always) is an emergent property from this set of species.

(Faraday... I see what you did there.)

An inevitable business model is a hybrid between Uber and Tesla: where one of a fleet of vehicles autonomously picks you up and self-drives (yes, Johnny Cab). Why own a vehicle (car, truck, delivery van, etc.) if you can have just what you want (different models), when you want and not have to garage/maintain it? And the prospect of eliminating human-error and unnecessary deaths/injuries is also appealing.

Amazon now sells around a billion SKUs. It would take some serious Mechanical Turking to buy products, review them and due-diligence each for malware. The Amazon social features like Q&A and reviews are intended to crowdsource feedback after-the-fact. But until enough people die from being electrocuted from line voltage USB hubs or hoverboard power-supplies burning down their homes, regulators are unlikely to step in until there is greater public pressure on regulators to do so.

This is one of the big things that was taught at UC Davis undergrad program, at least in the past. In order to assure portability, students have access to many nix platforms (SGI, Arch Linux, Solaris, etc.) and their homedirs mount as you'd expected at login to any of the boxes in the pool. I think they have FreeBSD boxes now, but I could be wrong. (EDIT: nope, what a shame. The trio of BSDs.)

PS: I nearly got thrown out for running John The Ripper on everyone's password hashes, which were conveniently served up over NIS. I did inform a prof that his password was super, super insecure because I mailed it to him. :)) Then, I nearly got thrown out again for mirroring some Oracle DBMS docs because they were stupidly IP restricted, and I didn't want physically go to CSIF cluster. Finally graduated though, I think they were just glad to get rid of yours truly. :)

There is a greater need for lower calorie (or slightly higher protein), non-compromise, taste-equivalent or better replacements across most food products. If people can't stop eating, lower caloric density seems like the best way to reduce overall caloric intake.

PS: I need to lose 20 lbs myself

For reference, 1 lb (454 g) of beef requires between 3800 L and 9500 L of water. This implies a typical beef restaurant "value meal" demands on the order of 10000 L of water.

Another important point is that fresh water is neither created nor destroyed, although entropy leads to more energy being required in the entire supply chain for its consumption and in external systems to treat/move/reclaim water for other purposes (increased competition / water prices).

There's also pesticide and fertilizer runoff, deforestation and reduced rainfall (Brazil) and antibiotic resistant, pandemic disease emergence (swine flu).

People that want to pontificate, seem promotable and do less real work love by inviting everyone, every hour/day/week/month with standing meetings, while said folks trying to do more real work should take time out to hear themselves blather on abstractly about work someone else may be (maybe you) get voluntold into doing.

No agenda... not attending. Not reasonably necessary... not attending.

Sounds d!ckish/selfish, but survival skills in large orgs require some gambits.

Your questions seem to conflate two things: nonrepudiation (which includes integrity) of firmware and A3E for I/O.

- Treat firmware like a file, save hashes of them in a public-key signed baseline db. Basically hash everything that can be dumped and throw alerts if anything in the targeted policy changes. (Tripwire for firmware)

- Thinking about it again, v2: end-to-end encryption is needed from driver/app through to device silicon. Key management might require "pairing" would be an initial secret provided separately (like the security model of an Entropy Key, but perhaps not a burned-in secret). Given that most actual drivers are proprietary anyhow, consider today's drivers as http:// when https:// everywhere is needed to defend against bus-sniffing.

It's a proxy to take a look at potential resource reallocation.

It seems grotesque when human beings in Silicon Valley are left with no viable option but to live in their cars or under a bridge, while folks tool around in their latest Lamborarri/Ferrambo. If some people can't be meaningfully trained or can't find a means of self-sufficiency, we cannot just allow them to freeze to death on the street. It's not civilized. (I asked and found out that a male on street without disabilities in Santa Clara County receives only ~$5/day in cash and ~$4/day for food.)

Certainly more people in the upper brackets may need to pay something more than now in order for all reach a minimum standard of living, but perhaps not quite as much as billionaires. A gradual tax on all income seems like the fairest, least complicated and straightforward method... say tax starting at $25k USD (adjust for inflation/cost-of-living) , then slope up to something like 35% for most people and 50% for the top end. It's a question really of what quality of infrastructure and social investment is desired, because debt isn't free.

I've also noticed the gradual labor oversupply in first-world, white-collar jobs... there's just not enough work to go around. China, India and others also have tons-tons-tons of unskilled labor as evidenced by frequent usage of more people in-lieu of mechanical equipment for small- & medium-scale jobs. This labor supply/demand imbalance seems attributable to peak global population and increasing productivity/automation.

Perhaps an underestimated crisis is the desperate need for more entrepreneurs to create new businesses which add more jobs in order to utilize more untapped, idle value, especially of groups which are traditionally marginalized from interviews, not just because of PR value, but some groups are really good at some things. (Autistic spectrum personalities seem to be quiet good at sorting/organizing/labeling, etc.)
