Gartner and IDC Agree: *BSD Is Dying
It is now official - Netcraft has confirmed: *BSD is dying
Yet another crippling bombshell hit the beleaguered *BSD community when recently IDC confirmed that *BSD accounts for less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of the latest Netcraft survey which plainly states that *BSD has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. *BSD is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict *BSD's future. The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for *BSD because *BSD is dying. Things are looking very bad for *BSD. As many of us are already aware, *BSD continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood. FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
OpenBSD leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of OpenBSD. How many users of NetBSD are there? Let's see. The number of OpenBSD versus NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of NetBSD posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of BSD/OS. A recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the *BSD market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeBSD users. This is consistent with the number of FreeBSD Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeBSD went out of business and was taken over by BSDI who sell another troubled OS. Now BSDI is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.
All major surveys show that *BSD has steadily declined in market share. *BSD is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If *BSD is to survive at all it will be among OS hobbyist dilettante dabblers. *BSD continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, *BSD is dead.

Boeing is insufficiently managed?
I get the impression that Boeing is insufficiently managed. Partly, there is a lack of sufficient social cohesion, in my experience. Sometimes Boeing people act robotically, in some ways, and that prevents the wisdom that comes from everyone supplying their best ideas.
I've been exploring helping Boeing with its purchase of 80% of Embraer, a Brazilian aircraft manufacturer. There are huge cultural differences between the U.S. and Brazilian cultures. People with whom I work and I could help the management of the purchase operate smoothly.
Boeing's headquarters is in Chicago: Boeing to take control of Embraer's commercial-aircraft business in $4.7B deal.
Also, it is my impression that Boeing has not communicated well with the public concerning major issues such as loss of aircraft. -

Ernest Quintana's family knew he was dying of chronic lung disease when he was taken by ambulance to a hospital, unable to breathe.
And the headline reads "A California man learned he had only days to live from a doctor on robot video"
False headline since he already knew it. The video diagnosis is a little cold but honestly this is just people bitching.

Re:Not sure about Canada
Both legal and illegal immigrants in this country commit less crime than its native citizens ( https://www.chicagotribune.com... , https://www.factcheck.org/2018... ). Couple that with the fact that our crime rate peaked in the 80's and is now at a relative post war low ( https://fivethirtyeight.com/fe... ) and it becomes pretty clear that what you're getting at isn't even close to correct.

Re:Not sure about Canada
Stop and Frisk in Toronto was one of the main drivers of crime downwards. Since Toronto stopped this in high crime areas, the crime rates are screeching ever higher now.
For others who are reading this and modding it up, a bit of perspective.
The Stop and Frisk version in Toronto was known as Carding, and had problems. It targeted blacks disproportionately.
Read and watch these:
What You Need to Know About Carding
You also make it sound that Toronto is a kill zone. Yes, murder rate has gone up, and is the highest in Canada, but compared to cities in the USA, it is nothing.
Baltimore has 56 per 100,000, and Chicago had 23.8 per 100,000 in 2016.
Toronto's worse year in a decade (2018) is 96 murders for 2.8 million people, so 3.4 per 100,000, and that is up from around 2 previously.

Bold plan with substantial costs
It will be interesting to see how they end up funding the change given the other large obligations that the city and county have. In particular they are facing a steep pension funding shortfall. Raising taxes will probably increase the rate of high earners leaving the area. They could try to reduce pension benefits, but I'm not sure how much traction that will get. I guess there is always the bond market...

Re:Good for them
Ooooh an anecdote. I suppose you can also come up with actual data.
Actually, the strained argument needing data is the claim these things are accurate, especially under adverse conditions, and the many many people that claim to have been falsely ticketed by these contraptions.
But the parked car being ticketed is a perfectly valid provable counterexample to the arguments people make that automatic ticket cams don't falsely accuse -- that therefore they should be able to just skip the normal legal requirements+process such as the right to face one's accuser, the fact that the car was parked so glaringly dismisses any possible arguments that the camera could've been right, and the counterexample of 1 automatically invalidates arguments such as "you are entirely within control here," or "In fact in order to pay money to these people you basically have to break the law," or " in the street ask for voluntary donations from a charity" ----- It only takes one counterexample to prove that such generalizations as these 3 are false --- and we don't even need anything more than that.
It is not an anecdote, either; this is a verifiable thing that has actually happened at least once and even been documented and covered by media.
There are of course many others, for example: Chicago, Red light cameras tag thousands for undeserved tickets

Re:Lack of concrete injuries
So did the Chicago Tribune get permission from all the participants and attendees of the parade they taped? No? It's because the law is about the commercial use of the image. Using photos of an event and identifying people in the picture without selling the picture or service to identify inside of it wouldn't qualify as a commercial usage. No harm, no foul per the law. Maybe that's why it wasn't brought up in IL Court - it doesn't apply.

Re: Goodbye Sears
Absolutely agree. Craftsman electric tools have gotten worse over the years as many are rebranded Ryobi and others. Once Sears sold Craftsman rights to Lowe's they lost one of my only reasons for shopping at Sears -- note that was after Craftsman was purchased by Stanley.

Re: In before
Uninsured numbers weren't cut in half, and premiums increased at the same rate as prior to Obamacare.
You also conveniently ignore that President Obama had complete control for a good chunk of the first two years of his Presidency (Chuck Schumer was Senate Leader, and Nancy Pelosi was Speaker).
Despite being given $350 billion by President Bush (as then-President Elect Obama requested) to stimulate the economy, the economy was starting to slink back to recession when President Trump was elected, with GDP plunging back down. Thankfully that's been arrested, and interest rates (which were at 0% for most of the Obama Administration) have started to come back up (which will strengthen the economy long-term). All while racking up more debt than pretty much all previous Presidents combined. He even got Congress to amend President Bush's 2009 budget by adding another $900 billion to it - and his supporters love to pin that $900 billion back on President Bush (which is completely disingenuous).
Now, you forgot things like his own self-described "worst mistake" of Libya, failures in Syria, drove world opinion of the USA down (thankfully it's rebounding back up), assassinated US citizens without due process, knowingly illegally selling guns to Mexican drug gangs (one of which was used to kill a US border patrol officer), and many, many more things which could be considered abject, Administration-destroying failures.

Doom and gloom
According to https://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-biz-gm-plant-closing-restructuring-20181126-story.html, six models were scrapped at GM: the Buick LaCrosse, the Cadillac CT6/XTS, and the Chevrolet Cruze/Volt (but not the similarly-named all-electric Chevrolet Bolt).
There are still a number of other sedans listed at https://www.gmfleet.com/overview/cars.html including the Buick Regal/Verano, Cadillact ATS/CTS, Chevrolet Bolt/Impala/Malibu/Sonic/Spark, so "exiting the sedan market" seems to be a bit of an exaggeration unless more model cancellations are planned.
The real story here is the job losses and a man in the White House who sold people on the idea that he alone could wave a wand and magically fix them (which means we also get to credit him with a failure to do so).

But, he's tweeting! [Re:Since we're OT]
What I'm saying is that 45 could at least bring the tragedy up, tell the people of Paradise that their country will do what they can to help... in times of devastation it is comforting to know that a leader is taking time to at least ACKNOWLEDGE what's going on. He is not, and has not.

You don't need "thousands". Al Franken got into Senate with (officially) 312 votes — and this allowed the passing of Obamacare.
Earlier, Bush won Florida with a similarly sub-thousand majority — also dramatically affecting the entire nation's life... A few is enough.

Re:Look at all these jobs...
i guess the importer pays them?
I believe import tariffs are paid by the party doing the importing. In the US, that extra payment goes directly to the federal government.
From: http://www.chicagotribune.com/...
"Tariffs are a tax on imports. They're typically charged as a percentage of the transaction price that a buyer pays a foreign seller. Say an American retailer buys 100 garden umbrellas from China for $5 apiece, or $500. The U.S. tariff rate for the umbrellas is 6.5 percent for umbrellas. The retailer would have to pay a $32.50 tariff on the shipment, raising the total price from $500 to $532.50."

Who did it?
We, the public affected by this breach, still have very little information on just what happened or by whom. We have a bit of "how" info, in articles like this, and this shows another penetration in Argentina. "online portal designed to let Equifax employees in Argentina manage credit report disputes from consumers in that country was wide open, protected by perhaps the most easy-to-guess password combination ever: “admin/admin.”"
With megacorps spanning the world, no one countries data laws are doing shit to stop any of this. Megacorps will just move portals to the easiest country to operate in, and then obfuscate, confuse, and stall any inquiries while they furiously delete off-shore evidence because it's not strictly "illegal" for some separate, non-US company to do so. "the credit bureau took the whole thing offline shortly after being contacted by KrebsOnSecurity this afternoon". My bet is it's more than offline; or offline as in deleted and all servers and backups burned with thermite and dumped into the ocean.
The US government doesn't even consider any of this "Critical infrastructure". This isn't in the same league as these reports, so it's all left up to the "free hand of the market". This attack is affiliated with China and not Russia: "One tool used by the hackers, China Chopper, has a Chinese-language interface but is also in use outside China"
There has been lingering suspicions of internal bad actors in this. "The company hired Susan Mauldin, a former security chief at First Data, to run the global security team. Mauldin introduced herself to colleagues as a card-carrying member of the National Rifle Association, according to a person familiar with the changes." With the current probes pointing towards massive Russian money laundering into the GOP via the NRA, this is very bad. Also, "Overseeing technology for Equifax was David Webb, a Kellogg MBA and Russian-language major hired in 2010 from Silicon Valley Bank, where he had been chief operations officer. "
Most frighteningly, this stolen info has STILL never shown up on the dark web. Looking at the Moloch data, there were two separate teams who spent quite some time on this. Obviously it is an APT, like Shell Crew, or such. This means government sponsored, someone had to pay for all of this and the info wasn't sold off for a profit. This is what happens when "unregulated industry" meets 21st century cyber economic warfare. -

The Trump tower meeting has been shown to have been a setup by FusionGPS - the lawyer met with FusionGPS both before and after that meeting, and funny how she was complaining a couple of weeks ago that if this meeting was oh so important, why hadn't Mueller's team interviewed her? Because Mueller knows it was a setup and he has enough problems already.
But lest anyone forget, even if there was a meeting IT IS NOT A CRIME. The only criminal act related to foreign powers is if they provide something of substance to a campaign. You know, like a British national providing opposition research, or illegal aliens making contributions to a campaign. There is also no collusion statute in the US code except between corporations. The only time speaking to a foreign power could be considered a crime is if we are at war with that power and the person speaking was giving "aid and comfort" to the enemy. Last time I looked we were not at war with Russia.
So for all you butt hurt liberals who lost the election, I have 3 links for you:
Election is over, we won, deal with it - B. Obama
Stop whining about the U.S. elections being rigged - B. Obama
Trump wouldn't say if he'll accept the outcome....horrifying - H. Clinton -

Re:They Are Nazis
Would that be the same policy that Obama oversaw without a single sound from the SJW crowd who are now wailing like banshees? Obama created the policy but... but.. but... drumpf drumpf drumpf!!
Actually, nope, that is all Trump's baby.
Ok, you could technically blame Jeff Sessions.
Sorry, but we did check out your claims.

Re:Great
What difference does it make whether they were at that house killing that particular innocent guy or at a different house shooting someone else answering the door?
Who we charge for giving them false information.
Never the officers who are the actual danger to the community.
Provably false claim on your part.
In the first link, the officers weren't charged for assaulting a defenseless man laying on the ground.
Your words were, and I quote, "Never the officers who are the actual danger to the community." without such specification.
They got a 15 day suspension, not a criminal charge.
Again, you said never. Never is absolute. And all I need is them being charged which I can provide.
In the second link, the officer wasn't charged for "being a danger to her community".
You were seeking that particular charge, when we were previously discussing charges for giving false information without such requirements?
You really should have specified. It is so easy to disprove you though, it is what happens when you are a shoddy troll.
She falsified paperwork. She was charged for it though.
Exactly what we were talking about. Creating a danger to the community by giving false information.
Paperwork means more to these guys than wanton violence against defenseless citizens.
Yes, I see you're familiar with your history then, your personal history, that is.
I mean really, you do care more about the paperwork than the actual reality of your affairs. If it's not triple-stamped and cross-documented, you don't care.

Re:Should law infocement be hard?
I'd be all for automated camera enforcement.
Unfortunately, the people who run the cameras are corrupt as all hell. The problem is that once you privatize or commercialize automobile, yhey realize that after analysis that they can alter the settings just a little bit, and.....
Profit!

One of the biggest tricks aside form massaging speed numbers is shortening the Yellow light times to the point where if you see yellow, you better stomp the brakes. We had a lot of discussions here about this, and my reaction is that if we get redlight camers in my city, teh instant I see a yellow light, I am locking the sprags. If it's a choice of getting a redlight ticket, or getting rear ended, I'll take the latter. Lo and behold: https://www.motorists.org/issu...

Re:I can't even imagine...
Unfortunately it can and it does.
If you don't want to read the link, George Lucas said, I want to build a Start Wars Museum in Chicago! I will pay for it out of my personal money. Everyone loved the idea (many didn't like the design) except a group Friends of the Park, that wants to maintain the lake shore property as mostly green space.
They complained, they sued, and appealed and Lucas said, forget it, I am out.
Not the same as a data center, but similar.

Re:The United States is gearing up for war with Ir
As for the Trade Deal, Trump already supports TPP and literally said he wants guest workers to do your jobs to a bunch of supporters at a rally (that went over about as well as you'd expect, but his approval rating still hasn't budged).
It went over fine. Because he said they have to go back. Funny how you omitted that.

The United States is gearing up for war with Iran
you don't think that's stuff matters? And this has nothing to do with isolationism. It's the exact opposite. We're prepping for a war. How is that isolationist?
As for the Trade Deal, Trump already supports TPP and literally said he wants guest workers to do your jobs to a bunch of supporters at a rally (that went over about as well as you'd expect, but his approval rating still hasn't budged).
America is exactly what it's always been, a global empire by and for our ruling class. Trump didn't change that, but no, we don't want it. Trump I'll remind you didn't win the popular vote. We are not a Democracy -
Re:Two thoughts
Hey, look! More of the same smug condescension that cost you nearly a thousand legislative seats, most of the governorships, both houses of congress, the White House, the Supreme Court, and the good will of millions of two-time Obama voters who turned their back on exactly your sort of vitriol. Sill haven't figured it out, huh?
Tennessee has a long history of crooked elections. Add in the brazen corruption-on-steroids that's rampant in today's GOP and you've got a recipe for third-world status.
Did you know that one of the most notorious Russian troll accounts from the "Internet Research Agency" was "@TEN_GOP"? You can read about that account in the Mueller indictment. So clearly, Russia felt that Tennessee was fertile ground for it's psyops, and that pig-ignorant people like yourself would buy its bullshit as being authentic Tennessee discourse? I didn't make it up:
