can we do one for the java + maven repository galaxy?

Wasn't windows 10 supposed to be the "last windows ever" ? Have been hearing about the subscription windows for 20+ years and it hasn't happened yet.

This is probably related to them getting in trouble for scanning networks while mapping. If I remember correctly they were doing a bit of port scanning and looking for share drives in an attempt to id which SSID was attached to which address. This is probably part of the wrist slap they got from FCC. "Oh well you can totally opt out now so it's ok"

It’s better than fax -barely. I worked for a company that builds HR software for gov customers including digital versions of forms with encryption etc. Day one I was faxing all of my own HR forms to HQ in another state.

I can slack off just as easily in the office as I could at home. :D or work just as hard at home as in the office.

This. It's cheap and upper management doesn't care because they still get an office. Has there been any proper research on productivity loss / gains beyond the anecdotal? I have no idea and management doesn't read books anyway so we are stuck with open plans.

Users are not the customer - advertisers are. We don’t pay facebook to use it advertisers do.

I was thinking this looked like YAML with {}

Pros: At least its not JSONx :D

Cons: Not seeing any advantage over JSON. If you want a type for objects just add a type field and have your code read it. Then you can use any of the existing parsers.

for ubuntu command check here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/992137/how-to-check-that-kpt...

Here is one of the commands recommended in that thread:

grep -q "cpu_insecure\|cpu_meltdown\|kaiser" /proc/cpuinfo && echo "patched :)" \ || echo "unpatched :("

This command does not show anything on my ubuntu 16.04 lts machine.

grep . /sys/devices/system/cpu/vulnerabilities/*

is there an alternate command for ubuntu?

I was hoping for nokia + android + 41 megapixel camera. But no they have 3 megapixel ones? what?

Smaller countries / cities with better public transit make it viable to own bike instead of car. Not the case in most of US.

You don't need 3-D printers to make guns. They can be quite easily made in any machine shop - albeit with varying degrees of success.

Zipguns / improvised firearms have been a thing for a long time -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Improvised_firearm

Gunpowder is pretty easy to make as well.

Stop whining about 3-D printers it's not that big of a deal in regards to guns.
