Foxconn is nothing in comparison to the $100B boondoggle known as the high speed bullet train in California.
So are you saying that the FoxCon 4 billion is a really good thing that you support?
You whataboutism types don't realize that what you think is condemning the Liberal stuff that you hate is actually saying that it is good because you support the other side of your whatabout statements.
It is however, a fine place for intellectually or emotionally challenged individuals to spout off within the limitations of their ability.
Largely accurate, but mainstream "news" is largely becoming a restating of fights on Twitter. So now it's affecting all of us, whether we use the platform or not.
Part of why my method of getting my news from multiple outlets is even better now than it used to be. The interesting issue is what the news presenters choose not to report on, and what they belabor.
It's not just about proprietary software. The *nix environment is better at doing a lot of tasks than windows.
One of the biggest advantages of *NIX operating systems is that they tend to function when they are booted.
My latest Windows 10 cockup is on an SDR radio with several receivers, and has 8 separate sound and a transmit audio drivers, plus 2 IQ stream drivers. Each has a different name of course. Windows update decided that all the audio drivers had to be renamed to the IQ drivers names. Then it fought me to name them back to what they should be. The result was hours of work plus a Teamviewer session to restore what windows did to the friggin computer.
Meanwhile, my MaxOS machine chugs along, my Windows 7 on Bootcamp chugs along, and the Linux machine sits there politely working all the time.
I would like to meet one. I mean that seriously, I would like to meet someone who favors Linux for the OS design, because the only people I have met who prefer Linux have a deep hatred of everything else. I'll use Linux if it's a reasonable option for the task, but I have yet to meet someone who suggests Linux who does not deeply believe it is the ONLY option for EVERY task.
Strawmen convention much? Linux is a Unixy OS MacOS is Unix.
The design is inherently better. Linux or MacOS is what I use unless there is no other choice. Windows 7 is a functioning Operating system.
Windows 10 is so bad that it makes Vista look like an order of magnitude improvement. But that would be true no matter what my personal opinion is. I do hate it, but that is an earned hatred.
And wherever you got the idea that we who like Linux think it is the only computing solution, is just weird.
Except for the fact I hate Bumper Stickers. Have you ever met a person who wen't. Look I changed my outlook on life because I saw that one clever bumper sticker.
I hate em too. But the suggestion is to let the Truck driver with an attitude about People who drive Priuses understand that possibly killing a Prius driver or annoying them might end up with a similar result to him. Hopefully it would be a jolt that lets him know that assuming anyone who drives a Prius is not necessarily an anti gun transgender gender issue major looking to implement communism and kill the unborn demoncrat.
I had an acquaintance a few years back who drove a Prius. So far right wing he wanted summay execution a whites only America and martial lawto acheive that goal. He happened to be a gun nut, and crazy as well. Fortunately he passed away before he killed someone. You could just tell he was looking for an excuse.
Me? I just have my Jeep outfitted with cameras, and if someone annoys me enough, the SD cards go to my buds in law enforcement and they'll take care of the problem.
Bottom line: Open up a computer and show them the insides. They'll learn pretty quickly all the stuff software people like us know. Maybe even more.
That's both the most true and the most false thing I've read today. I'd say 99% of software people don't have a clue what's inside their shiny beige/silver/black boxes they use daily to get work done. If you open it up and show a kid the insides, they'll shortly know more than 99% of those software devs.
There is the opportunity of great financial renumeration for that 1 percent who are willing to learn both about the coding and the innards of those shiny boxes.
I'm not an expert on what oddness drives a person to want to find out about both, but I do know mine started early. I had a truly irresistible urge to look into electronic devices to the point I got in a lot of trouble at home. My Grandfather in his wisdom, sent me monthly boxes of old electronics to tear apart.
And it's been like that ever since. If something can be torn apart and reassembled, I do that before I even power it on. Note that my inclinations are often the cause of stress with family members.
Don't forget the leftwing nutjobs too.
I drive a Prius, I recently got cut off by a large pickup truck with a bumper sticker saying they will cut off Prius. I live in a rural areas, Pickup Trucks are common, because they are often needed for their livelihood. My Livelyhood requires me to commute 30 miles to work, so I got a car with the best gas mileage that I could afford at the time.
The pickup truck driver sees Prius owners as a threat because Prius Owners has/had a tenancy to be preachy and he probably fears that if we have our way we will push him to get rid of his truck that he enjoys and uses for his livelyhood, and get the same little car that I have. Now that he was clearly targeting me, I no longer like that particular driver, but I always need to be cautious around larger pickup trucks because I know they see me as a threat.
This sounds stupid, but it is a sign of our times. We see our differences a threat vs a benefit.
You need a big rear window sticker that reads, "Prius Owners for Second Amendment Solutions to Traffic Problems"
I agree, Slashdot's mod system is better than most.
Perhaps it would be helpful to have a "-1 I disagree" or "-1 fuck this guy", along with "+1 I believe this too" that are decoys - they don't actually do anything. Lol
I've thought along the same lines, maybe adding a -1 dafuq? and +1 Brutal.
But yes - Slashdot's mod system should be adopted by others. It isn't perfect, but I haven't seen anything better.
That's a problem on Slashdot.
Somebody will post "the boss / execs will never go to jail!" and that's instantly plus five. I point out that the boss was arrested a few months ago and is looking at ten to twenty years, and provide a link, that gets modded to -1.
Very often what's modded up the most is the opposite of the plain facts, while a link to thr actual facts gets modded down because it doesn't fit the narrative.
And? If I post something a bit contentious, my emails show me that it gets a lot of Plus and minus votes. And some have ended up in the basement. So what? People don't have to agree with me.
Rather, it is interesting to note how some of the downvotes seem to correlate with different time zones, and the times showing who is likely awake, and who is likely not.
I'm wondering what the problem with the "like" button is?
Could it be that too many people are liking the "wrong" things?
Perhaps too many people are liking things that go against the political bent of the Twitter owners/management believe in?
Who knows. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the concept of Twitter and "quality of debate".
Twitter is not a place for debate, and in no way shape or form does quality of anything have anything to do with the place.
It is however, a fine place for intellectually or emotionally challenged individuals to spout off within the limitations of their ability. Any thing that comes in a nutshell belongs in one.
My logical but completely wrong mind jumped to the conclusion that driving the car forward removed gas from the tank, so driving in reverse should fill it.
How wrong can you be? If you were driving a nice electric car and instead changed some of the directions:
Driving a car up a hill removed charge from the battery, so driving the car down the hill should replace it.
Your brain came to a great conclusion given the limited information it possessed. I'm always fascinated by the things children say. Reminds me of a joke:
Q: How do you put an elephant into a refrigerator?
A: Open the fridge door and put the elephant in.
Ha! I guess I was just ahead of my time.
But you are correct about the child's approach, and at times that is very valuble. Unencumbered by knowledge and not being afraid to be wrong, a simple yet obvious (to them) answer that we might not figure out because we know so much, and get stuck on the details.
Our code is hardened and written with security in mind. Can you say that about your OS?
You and your attitude of imperviousness would get your ass fired if you worked for me. Not that you'd care - a superior being like yourself will be commanding 8 or more figures since you use an impervious OS.
I don't know, but their knowlege looks just fine to me.
Yup - it is fine
Example: As a 4 year old kid I watched the Stan & Laurel piece where they take a rife and shoot at a house and at the same time it explodes because of some dynamite or something. That was the joke but as a 4 year old I didn't get it, couldn't connect the dots between one shot showing a burning fuse, them shooting and the house exploding. I went for a few years thinking that rifles have the power to blow up houses with one shot.
My own confession - when I was around 4 or so, I was chatting with my father about our car. That was in the days where you weren't constrained to a seat belt. I was standing on the seat beside him and he was showing me things like the spedometer and odometer, and gas guage. He told me that the further we travel, the lower the gas gets in the tank, and eventually it runs out.
My logical but completely wrong mind jumped to the conclusion that driving the car forward removed gas from the tank, so driving in reverse should fill it.
And yet now, I have great knowledge about internal combustion engines, the fuel that propels them, the various mechanical devices that trasmits the force they produce to the surface they are sitting on.
Despite modern ideology, little kids are stupid. Cut them a break everyone. Live isn't an Xfinity commercial where an annoying little child teaches stupid adults about stuff.
Big deal. Children reason as good as they can, and if they learn the details behind things they correct their opinions. That's how reasoning works.
Bottom line: Open up a computer and show them the insides. They'll learn pretty quickly all the stuff software people like us know. Maybe even more.
Besides the absurdity of including 5 year olds in a survey of computer hardware knowledge, how would you explain to them the basics, in a way that doesn't result in blank stares?
It's a good exercise both in communication skills (shifting your point of view) and creating a top-down view of a complex body of knowledge. Often those heavily involved with a field can't abstract.
I suspect that teach is of the mindset that somehow every child is a genius, and that any child can be anything they want to be, if they only try hard enough. Probably spent too much time watching those annoying commercials where some little kid imparts great and profound knowledge to all the adults around them.
When in reality, there is a whole spectrum of abilities and interests. And what was once amusing, where children would be asked questions, and give amusing answers - think "Candid Camera" or that show with creepy old Bill Cosby - it is now something to wring our hands and kvetch because little kids don't understand the nitty gritty of computing?
Nothing wrong - in fact much good - with the concept of exposing the young to computing, but there is something wrong with the idea that a child in kindergarten should be able to understand basic logic circuitry and semiconductors. Or even be interested in them.
Something in here is redolent of the modern day concept of trying to get people interested in STEM careers, especially in the computing arena.
And there is a real bit of irony in that the people pushing for this influx of people into STEM tend to be academics with no interests in STEM at all. Rather than blame our mishandling of the little geniuses we somehow push away from STEM, perhaps these academics turn to an honest analysis of themselves and why they aren't coders or otherwise in STEM. Because there lies the real answer.
None of the vulnerabilities listed which are against currently supported versions of FreeBSD allow the attacker to gain access level, unlike this SystemD bug.
Well then FreeBSD is impervious to attack, and will never suffer. I don't care what the dates are, Im tryingf to impress you with the fact that laughing at other vulnerabilities is the old pride goeth before a fall. But don't let me stop you. Most of the FreeBSD users I've met have a nasty whiff of superiority. Doesn't really smell all that good.
Seriously, are you FreeBSD users so arrogant that you refuse to believe your vaunted OS can be compromised? And if yo udon't understand or get that, well good on ya.
*Laughs* Goes back to working on some 300+ Slackware VMs.
BTW, the site only lists 2 vulnerabilities for CentOS since 2012, so I don't think it uses as complete a dataset as you think. As an example there has been at least 10 high severity OpenSSL vulnerabilities which affected CentOS since 2012 and neither of the 2 CentOS vulnerabilities listed on site you provided are for OpenSSL packages.
Whoosh. Your "Ermagherd. I use FreeBSD so I am superior and safe" is just the opposite side of the coin of the Windows fanbois who strut around like cock-a-whoops when some other OS has any vulnerability at all, as if a few is somehow the equivalent of the hella batch of Windows problems.
So anyhow, if you want to believe that you are immune from the problems that us Proles have, by all means, crack open a cold one, and toast your wisdom in picking the system that is safe. Laugh away.
There is not question that these pesticides can be harmful. And that rural workers in some places are being exposed to excessive amounts.
Not just workers. It is people who live near the farms where they are spraying the organophosphtes. Excessive is interesting, as this exposure is via drift, not more direct contact.
What is interesting is how a series with the first ST Woman Captain, and many different women in the command structure, such as B'lanna the engineer, managed to make the female leads chttps://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=12813097&cid=57542709#redible, likeable and relatable.

I hadn't thought of that aspect of the show. What is striking is how it wasn't a terribly big deal and didn't disrupt the story. Nowadays when they womanize a series it is thrown in your face.
Exactly. And they did it in a very convincing fashion. There were some references to sexism, especially by the Kazon humanoids, but they were handled well and matter of factly. All of it worked together. And it couldn't be made today.. Today's version would be the woman dominating the men, with an attitude of superiority, yet if a male disagreed with them, they would have to visit the ships psych doctor because of severe mental anguish. there would be episodes where it was found out that a male crew member was found ot have winked at a woman without her express permission when they were in grade school, and they had to kill him as an example and to keep the other males in line.
It would be called Star Trek - Social Justice Universe. And yes everyone, that is satire on my part.
The President's schedule is published every day.
The White House visitor logs are public information.
The Washington news media has, literally, hundreds of people that do nothing but track which politicians are meeting with whom.
And you think China is getting valuable information from unsecured phone calls over unsecured telephone networks to people outside the government that none of these other sources could supply?
Do you seriously think they are not? Do you think that someone is in the room with Trump in the evening when he talks to Hannty from Fox? Or that someone is in his room or follows him to th toilet?
Naive defines you. RTFA, Pepe.
Treason is only applicable during war. We bandy that word around too much.
Ok, fair enough. So then what's the name of the crime we're talking about: leaking secret information? You know, the crime that he is still accusing Senator Hillary Clinton of?
Clinton's transgression is at the level of a security violation and reprimand. The "lock her up" is political theater. If workers were all jailed for that level of thing, wee'd have to live in a Stalinesque society, because no one would voluntarily work in such a field. As for Trump, I don't have the evidence, so really can't say. There are a number of people who have the discretion to divulge classified information or make it public. Trump is at that level. Actually Clinton was as well, although her issues were not purposeful. It's a Little Joe Nuclear hand grenade level power though, which might cause the discloser big problems.
Treason is only applicable during war.
That's not true:
"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court."
Sounds like an interpretation on your part. Others may vary. I and many others give the "only" part the most weight.
This doesn't mean that Trump or any president cannot be prosecuted for espionage type crimes.
Also, an interesting thing is that if he were to pardon himself - a possible scenario of doing that and being upheld now by the Supreme court, it would have to be remembered that to accept a pardon, admission must be made that the crime was committed.

And you think China is getting valuable information from unsecured phone calls over unsecured telephone networks to people outside the government that none of these other sources could supply?
Do you seriously think they are not? Do you think that someone is in the room with Trump in the evening when he talks to Hannty from Fox? Or that someone is in his room or follows him to th toilet? Naive defines you. RTFA, Pepe.
Treason is only applicable during war. We bandy that word around too much.
Ok, fair enough. So then what's the name of the crime we're talking about: leaking secret information? You know, the crime that he is still accusing Senator Hillary Clinton of?
Clinton's transgression is at the level of a security violation and reprimand. The "lock her up" is political theater. If workers were all jailed for that level of thing, wee'd have to live in a Stalinesque society, because no one would voluntarily work in such a field. As for Trump, I don't have the evidence, so really can't say. There are a number of people who have the discretion to divulge classified information or make it public. Trump is at that level. Actually Clinton was as well, although her issues were not purposeful. It's a Little Joe Nuclear hand grenade level power though, which might cause the discloser big problems.
Treason is only applicable during war. That's not true: "Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court."
Sounds like an interpretation on your part. Others may vary. I and many others give the "only" part the most weight.
This doesn't mean that Trump or any president cannot be prosecuted for espionage type crimes.
Also, an interesting thing is that if he were to pardon himself - a possible scenario of doing that and being upheld now by the Supreme court, it would have to be remembered that to accept a pardon, admission must be made that the crime was committed.
