Oh? What VM do you recommend? I've looked repeatedly over the years, and have never found a decent MacOS supporting VM that runs on anything other than another Mac, which kind of defeats the point.
If you find out please post a link; I've been looking for a non-rubbiush way of running macOS in a VM as well.
I've seen people try to say that harassment is someone telling them they don't like to hear. That's called being a friend.
WTF no? A implies B does not mean B implies A. I don't like to hear about how all Jews should be murdered, and yet once in a while someone has felt the pressing need to tell me.
That person is not being a friend.
You know, you have a real problem with logic. Which bit of his post says "All people telling someone something they don't want to hear is a friend"?
He said he's seen people doing that; you jump off the deep end with a "WTF?" as if his statement is not reflective of reality or is not logical. Both his experiences and your experiences can be fully consistent with reality at the same time!
Maybe do less social "science" and more real science.
When you can convince enough people that facts are lies, then you end up with tyranny, which is what we have now.
Where? You appear to have a very different understanding of the word "tyranny" compared to literally every dictionary on the planet.
I think that the fact that you believe in conspiracy theories AND are paranoid that they are out to get you says more about you than about whoever you are ranting about this week.
I can think of no possible way this could be abused as political censorship to, say, protect the incumbent government from inconvenient reporting.
That's literally in the summary:
"If we want to protect liberal democracies[...]have content taken down, user accounts deleted and ultimately websites blocked."
That stuff in the "[...]" is fluff to ensure that people don't see the two ends of the sentence together. They are literally saying they want political censorship.
We urgently need Rei to inform the world that this is not really a bad thing and how fabulous Tesla is actually doing. BTW the Tesla, when it arrives, will be the best car evar!!!
You're being hysterical, making a mountain out of a molehill.
The cops get safer every year, but the cops kill more of us every year, while simultaneously claiming that there is a "war on cops" going on. It may not be a mountain yet, but it's well past molehill.
From the link at my previous response, it seems that the cops killed 64 unarmed people for all of 2017 (all ages).
64 out of 300m is very much a molehill - it's not even a rounding error.
Look, I'm as wary of armed men standing around with not much to do as the next person. I'm of the opinion that all interactions with the police should be recorded. I believe that the job attracts bullies, and that the cops close ranks to protect their own. I refuse to answer affirmative when asked "May we enter your house" and "Can we search your car"...
But, 64 killings out of 300m is literally statistical noise, especially considering that these people are in public all day, everyday, armed as well. We can't even plot those numbers on a chart that includes other unlikely causes of death in the US, such as falling down (11,500 last I checked).
Getting killed by cop is exceptionally unlikely. You are 180 times more likely to die by tripping over your own feet than by death by cop.
How often does that happen? What's the odds that a citizen will die at the hands of a police officer? According to this source, 937 people were killed by police officers in 2017.
The odds of the cops being a danger to you are miniscule, and those odds drop further if you aren't engaged in a violent crime.
You're being hysterical, making a mountain out of a molehill.
Or are you just blaming anything you don't agree with on some "SJW cabal" that you've made up in your head?
Serious question: do you think there is no group of people who self-identify as SJW and who want to force a particular ideology on the majority? Because I'm pretty certain that that qualifies as a "SJW Cabal", and they're most certainly not made-up.
To be fair "these days" was referring to 2011, when that article by Sanders was written. A time when the Venezuelan economy was rebounding. Two years before Maduro was even sworn in.
To be really fair, when someone predicts something and their prediction turns out accurate, then their hypothesis is *probably* correct.
Like if, for example, someone in 2011 said "Socialist policies don't really work, mostly", and Sanders points to Venezuela as an argument that they do indeed work, the future collapse of Venezuela provides support for the statement "Socialist policies don't really work, mostly", not for whatever counter-argument Sanders was attempting to make.
Another example to clarify: if I were to say, right now, that BTC is not really a currency and you point to its use by $fraction of retailers as proof that it is a currency, any future decline in BTC acceptance by retailers adds support for my assertion, not for your counter-argument. A future rise in % BTC acceptance by retailers may provide the support for your counter-argument, but current cherry-picked examples do not.
Predictive power beats single-data-point examples when proving or disproving a hypothesis. Pointing to a single example only works when the assertion is an existentialist one ("All $FOO are unworkable" needs only a single counter-example to disprove, while "$FOO is not long-term viable" cannot be disproved with a single counter-example).
Here's the thing: I don't mind hearing Merry Christmas (but I slowly start to DO mind hearing "Last Christmas". C'mon. George is dead, let the song follow). You wish me a Merry Christmas, I'll probably reply in kind.
What bothers me is the asshats that get ballistic if you wish them "Happy Holidays".
I've actually never had that happen to me. They give me strange looks, certainly, but no stranger than my neighbour who occasionally sends me videos of this or that person "proving" intelligent design because he thinks that being an atheist is an irrational decision.
To be honest, I'm not sure how to respond to someone who goes ballistic for *any* greeting. Raised eyebrows? I can handle that. Religious propaganda/literature? Sure, I'll just throw it away anyway. Proselytizing? I'm not gonna argue, just get away if I can.
But anger? What the hell do you do there? Get angry back? That doesn't help - now there's *two* angry people.
You should probably review the funding for Medicare and Social Security before claiming you "paid for it". Especially when tossing around words like moron.
Under both programs, the recipients paid in far less than they will receive. For example, Social Security recipients on average paid 1/3 what they will receive.
So? All social welfare recipients receive more from the system than they paid in. SS isn't any different, except that SS recipients paid in far more than any other welfare recipient.
What would you like to do? Make SS optional? Would you like to opt out?
I don't think anyone is saying that people drawing on social security don't deserve to do so.
No, but GP ( b0s0z0ku ) snidely implied that they are hypocritical for taking their legal and share out of SS:
Until you're ready for social security and Medicare, at least. Then you'll scream and yell for entitlements.
While other GP (jeff4747) outright said that they are taking something they do not deserve, stopping just short of calling it theft:

You are putting money in. That money immediately goes to someone who is 67 or older. The money does not sit around waiting for you.
You think that any money put into your investment portfolio sits around waiting for you? Hell no - it immediately goes to someone.
FCOL, money you deposit into your fucking bank account does not sit around waiting for you- it immediately goes to someone else. That doesn't mean that the money you eventually get back is not yours.
If you put money into anything that eventually gives it back to you like an investment, bank account, retirement fund, or social security, what you get back is yours, because you damn well paid for it upfront.
Forcing people to contribute to a pool of money with a legal contract specifying how and what they withdraw from that pool, and then trying to shame them when they exercise their withdrawal options is, frankly, repulsive and antisocial behaviour.
If you don't like the generous terms they were given then take it up with the people in power who gave out those generous terms. Stop trying to shame people into giving up what is legally theirs.

Why should you ticket people who are already in an unfortunate situation? I don't think anyone is homeless by choice.
How do they prevent the homeless from congregating around City Hall? Are they forcibly removing these people who are already in an unfortunate situation?
I'm starting to think that bitcoin can't pop (I'm not a bitcoin fan - check my posting history). The reason I say this is because the 4/transactions per second prevent an actual run starting on the commodity we call bitcoin.
In order to have the bubble pop you need large number of sell-offs. With the miniscule rate of transactions it might not be possible for the bubble to pop spectacularly - it might simple deflate gently instead.
"Even today, the more power and influence and man has the more women they attract."
Yeah, if you're powerful enough, the women will let you grab them by the pussy.
However, please note that the state of the women allowing you to do so, and the state of having done so, are not equivalent.
Your comment makes absolutely no sense. Are you perhaps unhappy that Trump won? Do you tell everyone this even when the adults are talking about something else?
Or are you unhappy that women prefer powerful and influential men?
The main components with limited lifetimes are the electrolytic capacitors. And I'm not sure they get highly stressed. I am not one of the people who believes that ICs wear out. I do own a lot of 1980's test equipment from Rohde & Schwarz, Agilent, etc., and thus have developed some expertise in this.
Depends - running at full steam (mining bitcoin) means running at high temps. Gamers don't run their system flat out 24x7 and hence less heat over the lifetime of the pcb. With bitcoin they're essentially heating the card 24x7. I doubt many cards have a MTBF that remains constant even when running at the max temps rated.
Maximum temperatures are usually rated as a function of time - $FOO degrees for not more than $BAR seconds. Buying a 2nd-hand card that was heated constantly may not be such a good idea.

No bounds checking, no type checking. In 2018. Get serious.
My guess is C programs are the underlying reason for a good majority of ways of hacking into systems.
I mean a buffer exploit? Seriously? In 2018? Why in the hell would that be remotely acceptable?
No, sloppy programmers are the major reason for a good majority of ways of hacking into systems (Meltdown/Spectre notwithstanding).
Exclusively teaching and using bounds-checked, garbage-collected languages are a great way to produce more sloppy programmers.
