I have a problem with my debian server. The problem is that since upgrading to systemd, running fdisk causes the server to mount the partitions from the disk I'm trying to repartition. Even removing them from/etc/fstab doesn't prevent them from being mounted.
I did not have this problem before systemd and God alone know where the stray configuration causing this misbehavior lies.
The libraries here affix a clear plastic book cover over top of the book and jacket, protecting it. Then they apply stickers with text and bar codes on top of the book cover.
The most important one is: "6) The nature and degree of control by the employer. Analysis of this factor includes who sets pay amounts and work hours and who determines how the work is performed, as well as whether the worker is free to work for others and hire helpers"
If the allegations are true, Amazon sets the hours, sets the pay, requires uniforms and interacts only with individuals. That makes the workers misclassified employees, not independent contractors.
We use jargon so that we don't have to re-explain basic concepts over and over again. There's an art to knowing when it's a good idea to re-explain a concept anyway, to knowing the difference between concise and terse. Few technical folks possess that artistry.
Many functions and even some classes are more or less self-documenting. Functions with names like insertReservation or cancelReservation or deleteAll don't need another line or three to explain what's going on.
An undocumented function with well chosen names is like a sentence with only nouns. You might, if you're lucky, get the gist of it but those missing verbs and adjectives would really have been helpful.
Saudi Arabia almost buys a lot of stuff. When it comes time to actually put money on the table after endless demos and enthusiastic discussions, the deals suddenly sour. It's their way.
Also perfectly reasonable to say: "I don't have the background in this field of study to implement or reliably estimate the cost of implementing the requested technology. I would need assistance from experts in X, Y and Z before I could produce an estimate."
If you can't produce a reasonably accurate estimate you may not have asked the right question.
How long will it take you to do this thing that nobody has ever done before
This is not the right question. The right question is: how long will it take you to assess this thing that nobody has ever done before, and devise strategies for doing it, and develop them to a point that you can estimate how long executing these strategies will take.
Nothing wrong with saying, "I need four weeks to research this before I'll be able to give a reliable estimate on implementation."
You're right; I misinterpreted it as well. In this case the registration was defeated because the copy of the work filed with the registration was lost and the owner of the registration could not prove what it contained.
Which switch? The expensive ones are supposed to have optocouplers on the data ports to prevent just this sort of problem. You kill the port but the switch (and everything attached) lives on.
Remember: copyrights aren't patents. Grant of a patent means the government agrees you own the techonology. A copyright merely reports your claim of ownership -- you still have to prove it in court by producing artifacts from the copyright's creation such as drafts, notes and earlier versions.
This is a misreport. The judge didn't say that the Happy Birthday song was in the public domain. What he said was that the folks who claimed to own it failed to prove that they owned it. No one could produce an evidence trail substantiating that the folks who filed for copyright in the 1930s actually owned it. That makes the claimed copyright invalid but it doesn't preclude the existence of a copyright.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Trump is great at enriching himself, far less great at enriching his investors. Consider carefully before investing your vote.
You don't think the engineers and software developers who designed ASUS' android tablets considered running general-purpose Linux on them? It never crossed the minds of that particular subset of the general population?
Why is this not a completely winning argument in favor of a safety net for the homeless? I genuinely want to know.
Because short-term homeless already get enough help to stop being homeless and long-term homeless tend to be homeless because they're insane and incompetent. Too crazy and too stupid to successfully prove citizenship and establish a mailbox at which they can receive a check.
It's generally better if expensive solutions to problems actually solve the problem.
And if you have money in the bank, you are a lender. You have lent money to the bank. The more money you have in the bank, the more taxed you are by inflation.
If you were hit by a car, lost both legs, lost your job, spent your savings looking for a new one.... Okay, I'd buy that excuse. And as it turns out, the government already has programs to help with that.
But merely losing your job? People lose their jobs and get new ones all the time. Don't have children until periodic loss of employment (plus children) won't break you financially.
Actually, one of the things I really like about my ASUS tablet is that I was able copy an existing x86 Linux into a chroot on the microsd card. And then sling binaries back and forth between that and my x86 servers and VMs.
A major problem bringing technological infrastructure to emerging countries is that the populace steal it. Just walk right up and take it. Any credible plan to bring Internet to the third world has contend with that sad but hard fact.
Dude, it's really simple. You don't need the source code to see which physical components do which jobs and how they're interconnected.
Assume that any sufficiently complex component has errors. Can a hacker send crafted data to each component? If he breaches one of them, what does he have access to now?
What do the claimed features tell you about the system structure? Remote updates to the drive train? That means that after finding the errors a hacker can insert arbitrary data in to the drive train.
Poke at the interface. How does it feel? If it's slapdash and buggy, the underlying software will be too.
And you ask the manufacturer questions. I see the entertainment system displays your current speed and tachometer. How does it get that information?
When done you haven't found all the errors but you have more than enough information to assign a grade on the four-point scale.
They have panels of other experts on hand to evaluate cars on other metrics. Consumer satisfaction is only one measure they use. Why can't they put together a panel of computer security experts?
Correction to your correction: you have to take it down to retain _immunity_ from liability. In many cases you're still not liable under the case law that existed before the DMCA. And if the work proves not to be infringing in the first place then no way no how are you liable.

What IS the difference between a contractor and an "employee",

About half of that is correct. That you don't know which half makes my point for me.
Many functions and even some classes are more or less self-documenting. Functions with names like insertReservation or cancelReservation or deleteAll don't need another line or three to explain what's going on.

ought to have C++ on the table. It's got the same resource footprint as the other two.
If you think C++, when used for more than "C with classes," has the same resource footprint as C, you don't understand either language very well.

Mod this guy up. He's right. It's actually in the ethernet spec. Magnetic isolators, not opto isolators.
