The process of placing HQ2 considers cost and resources and not.. environment? Look at a sat picture of the chosen area. Its already packed full of people and civilization. How about going across the river and taking up a place in NJ? Plenty of space and an educated workforce and a local airport,Lots of Highways and.. Ok... a mediocre mass transit system. Amazon, make a solid impact on the place you chose to make your nest. See beyond the green stuff.
Great Point.. This is how we are being so played. One batch pits Red vs Blue with Social media. the other boasts that it wants to ascend to world leadership. US has its own leader running (ruining?) his country pushing his Wall (ego.. a personal tribute to his presidency) instead of jobs and middle class. Coal Miners? Lets look at that . https://www.politifact.com/tru...... Here is what we hear internationally: https://asia.nikkei.com/Politi...,.. How to get US back on track?
Maybe things have changed over the past 2 centuries? We have to stop considering our position a birthright. Past sucess borders on irrelevant. Time to rethink our position in the world... in terms of a group of large power players that seem fascinated with tearing the others down. Human nature?
We gotta realize that they too can learn and if we teach them (how to do and thus how to think) it will be a short time till the U.S. is irrelevant, until we can outdo or out think them. Surely the U.S.is concerned with staying relevant, right? Soon, US heavy industry will be Sicilan Pizza and Large Donuts. What jobs will support the middle class? Had been progress was swapping current job for a better one.... whats the -new- plan? Make healthcare and Education cost too much?
Been to conferences where the "visionaries" are so excited how every flip of a switch will be sent to the cloud, with a followup action to then turn on/off my light.
Or.. where my thermostat will signal a cloud services to tell my heater to turn on. What kind of utopia are they expecting? internet goes down and my Heat or lights or toilet dont work? Someone...please.....
Nvidia took what was good and ran headlong into the fray. I recall project Fahrenheit.. knew that was the end of SGI.
Hey.. XFS is not preferred File system for RHEL7. Roots in solid tech. Imagine FSCK while file system is mounted!
The Silicon Graphics Indy and then the O2 were desktops way ahead of their time with built in camera, networking, Sound, and a solid OS (irix). But they didnt run Word and Excel. The ISDN was interesting too... I still miss showcase, and the Interop tools. but not the pricetag. The Video game Lumbus used the camera to act as input.. but... SGI got too full of itself with Jurrasic park and crashed. 64 MB RAM and a Gigabyte Disk was enough.. Imagine that. CacheFS / NFS was really handy. I recall doing VRML modeling with the OpenInventor package. Beta/VHS.. ugg.. should the better tool win?
Pfft.. this is gaslighting and brainwashing on a large scale. If the Android clan could put 5% more into QA and to maintenance, it could be a superior product.
Said one Giant-Telecom vendor CEO to another. Turning a cellphone into a huge money making machine, rather than a public service. Absolute power doesn't have to be broad. it can be very focused and still be as regrettable in hindsight.
Great point. The DevOps Triangle is missing a leg. It cuts out the OS Admin who whould otherwise say... NO... Cant run as root! NO.. Cant disable SELinux. NO... Can't pull code from an internet based repository for basic services... Its done with a nod and a wink to the Security Team that means well, but just says. "OK. It must be proper". So.. there. I said it. Ignore the role of the OS admin at your peril. If DevOps can wrap in the input of an OS admin for Service security, it wont slow you down, unless your methods are inherently unsafe.
We should be concerned about the size of the asteroid as the energy contained therein is proportional to the mass, but its proportional to the SQUARE of the speed... so we should be concerned with the size, but fascinated by the speed of the inbound. First,. it cuts down on our reaction time, second, speed is what brings the energy. Did like NM's treatise on Supersonic Lizard tails though: https://www.livescience.com/52... - I think I'd be twice as eccentric with half the cash!!!
Are our years shortening or lengthening?
When the Sun goes to Gas giant, will this be resolved? I gotta put it on my calendar.
Pretty sure this is against our policy of delivering Less content for more money every year.
This just doesn't make financial sense. We'll have to find our way out of this arrangement.
--- and last... does this mean there is cosmic torsional friction.. where the vacuum of space is bleeding off speed???
I got it!! Its that damn Dark matter!
Like that trollop from the commercial. Now you can open every school locker, Janitors closet, and everyone trunk as well as screwing up science experiments. How did anyone think that put the product in a good light? One youngster hoses down tons of people and we think this is a good idea? Pffft. Catering to Egos of undeveloped adolescents. Was probably put out there to start the discussion on how to do it safely, and WE are being crowdsourced to help them solve the issue?
Now... you swipe a phone, then you are in their door, and can start their car.. and buy things.. What could go wrong?
Taxes.. let's compare the tax obligation. Why are the largest corps fascinated with hiding their earnings from taxation? Does a corporation see war as a terrible thing, or an opportunity for profit?
Just saying, its impossibel to do...so it violates in spirit the main point... an unassailable fortress, cant be replaced, has no bounds. Is there formal training on Systemd? Nope.. its a Work In progress till it gobbles up... everything. then we have an environment that is closed once more.
Some argue that corporations are people https://www.youtube.com/watch?... . Yeah. thats crazy. they may be members of society, but they are not something we need to cater to. Same goes for Robots. can we define a class for each in society?
Should this be an option? seriously though, can this be modularized so it can be optimized by the public at large? Some would argue its trying to do too much?
Being predictable can be a vulnerability. Being able to promise some short term wins is enough to reward the Super Genius with a new ford Escort, while the technology he pushes away kills jobs and disables our work force from doing that job. Not like tool and dia makers go to CNC work (where you modernize a capability), but where you make ALL the TV sets ( and everything that goes into them) to a remote location. Too often US workers are asked to do paltry work, while the focus is to glorify and reward off shore people. Win for Offshore, but the idea that US mid/upper level staffers push that work away will shortly make their jobs irrelevant too. Hah. US workers are well on their way to be the Copper Tops as seen in the matrix. Thanks visionaries. Now ChX buys all the means to produce a cell phone, floods market with an Android spin off and Voila, Apple is a core.
Sure we have compilers, but is the future outside the freshly paved road likely or even able to be outflanked by a better idea? When does this gang or that gang get to define that road? We have a benevolant dictator http://oss-watch.ac.uk/resourc... - is this landscape free from beneficial disturbance?
That is the issue I have (too often) with progress, it limits choice and eliminates innovation outside the Ivory Tower. Can we get another Cathedral/Bazaar check? ESR - help! See also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... "That cant be innovation!! We didnt do that!"
Is it good that updates are getting so picky about forward and backward dependencies? is this meant to improve our experience or to limit/collimate our choices ? Gnome and this LinRegistry ( I forget the name at the moment) seem intent to narrow the options. Would it be better in the long run for all distributions to be in lock-step at some level, or is diversity healthier? is forward / backward compat
ibility a thing of the past? Is outflanking even possible any more? Perhaps its time to re-evaluate what Freedom means these days?

Unless we can save some (short term) money by doing so!!! In the end, its all about short-term-thinking and selling out the future.

Just When disk drives and SSDs were getting so small!!! Its not about saving space, its about being able to save it in a safe place.

What if server is already on Pure platform where the dedup is already done? Hence, penalty for bzip and pals.
