The Register is censoring comments that disagree with the official narrative. I tried 3 times...This is a full court press to regain control by whoever actually controls the press and the people who still uncritically agree with it when it supports their biases. .
Frankly, I see more UK interference in the elections - where did that dossier come from? Steele worked for who? Oh, Skripal worked for who? Someone was poisoned with way different effects than a real nerve agent has, survived..and now needs to be kept from the public or any investigation of what REALLY happened? .
The "we protesteth too much" behavior by congressional Democrats yesterday to prevent Strozk from answering questions...it's becoming obvious even to people who'd like to believe otherwise who's doing the interfering here.? .
I notice this sturm und drang does not happen with candidates the un-elected got to vet before they ran - once that happens, the bureaucrats have no reason to care how a vote comes out.
Personally, I think things were rigged the other way - which is why there was so much distress when the riggers lost anyway. Look at who is acting silly, hysterical, obstructive, and even promoting violence in the streets. That's not those taking the high road.
Lots of people's rice bowls are filled by ever-increasing government and military industrial complex gimmies. We are seeing just who feels the most threatened at the prospect of peace breaking out - where's that WWIII the progressives assured us we'd be in by now? These jerks create fake enemies just to get a paycheck. We should shuck the schmucks. .
You don't have to support Trump to see who is asserting their power here, wrongfully, and who the real enemies of the people are. Yeah, it's us...since the government became such a jobs program.
If you make a language simple enough that monkies can do it, you'll get monkey code. Many outfits never figured this out in their quest to find a way to get morons to code for moron pay.
But it would still run correctly in perl...which is why some hate and some love it. Sometimes a grammar Nazi myself, but hey, whoosh!
After all, grammer is the difference between knowing your shit, and knowing you're shit. The whom is so obsucre here I'd wager most don't know what you're talking about. We're still working on "loose" is not the opposite of "win" around here...
I think they now just call perl6 Rakudo, rather than the idiocy of having two incompatible languages of the same name like python.
And it seems Larry is more or less out of implementation altogether - just a spiritual leader now.
Well, whip or chop does seem the right thing for a device that can talk to the internet without you having a way of knowing who it's talking to about what.
Of course, some is lazy lusers - a lot of phone-home controversy could have been trivially settled one way or the other with plain old wireshark for machines that were wire or wifi only (if you had access to the wired side of wifi which most of us at home do). //
One wonders why even the companies so accused didn't provide set up info to look at their output themselves..no one would trust that, but it'd get the ball rolling. //
The reason I said more or less is I've not studied the protocol to the level of knowing how much you'd have to "go active" and transmit a signal/pretend to be a tower, or whether you could just easily eavesdrop, use the standard keycracking things on the strongest signal (since you could put the device in your own cradle and be a fraction of an inch from the antenna - at that point just go with the loudest signal). After all, with wifi and enough plaintext, no problem getting into the system and listening in. If you own it, you can put out all the "plain text" you want..
A whole lot of the classic attacks are suddenly easier if it's your device.
Just a product suggestion. Whoever gets rich can thank me, and the phone guys can go and do unpleasant things with themselves.
Until there is a version of wireshark that works on the phone bands (wireless-shark) - more or less a stingray that can be had by consumers, this is going to:
A: happen and only get worse.
B: be denied and essentially not proveable.
This all depends on what amounts to a technical arms race the consumer has lost.
I'm sure this was an issue in the days of regular raises and real bennies...but see the poster below - salespeople are usually on mostly-commission already. Now the ratio between what he brought in and what he cost IBM - no one's giving out that data. In the olden days, an older salesman with lots of connections who brought in endless repeat business was super valuable. Maybe that market is going away, and IBM (and others) are hoping to hit something with a shotgun approach, sheer number of tries?
Usually know a lot more, and have grown up. The usual management tricks no longer work on them - fake crises, OMG you gotta work extra hours or no promotion/pay raise. or we'll all lose our jobs, and so on - we won't be pushed around as easily as the kids. What we lack in intensity we make up for in ability to just get it done quickly with what we already know, and wisdom to not fool around doing the old fire drills.
But MBAs - who should realize they're the incompetent ones - think seeing all that bustle is what makes a bottom line, so...
All the other older guys I know are now consultants if they're any good at anything, and charge commensurately. They don't need to work full time to get the same amount of work done as a youngster, or make enough money.
They leak what they want to via plausibly deniable sources, just like always - and you don't have to look hard to find them at all. Gosh, was everyone here born last week? This is not a partisan thing at all, it's an un-elected and difficult to discipline bureaucracy that is out of control, and has been for many decades.n Which now has the power to gather dirt on the dirtiest people on earth - politicians of all stripes higher than dog-catcher - who are also the main people who even care, because, unlike a gov worker, they have to get elected now and then. To many observers, the main reason they're throwing a fit now is because someone got in they didn't vet beforehand, the odds being so low in their eyes. He happens to be a clown, but more importantly to them, one they don't easily control.
I mean, clearly there's dirt to go around on everyone in office, and there's also a lust by bureaucrats to keep and increase their power. Else how did the government (a jobs program that keeps the enemies closer?) get so big, while creating more troubles than it solves? Why does every elected federal official - even obvious morons, retire as at least a multimillionaire on what is crap pay for DC (my home town - it's not a cheap place to live).
I'm deliberately not mentioning some insanely wealthy people whose politics I don't agree with who got that way while in power - and over relatively poor districts to boot. They self-identify without my help. And they don't all wear the same color tie, this isn't about that false dichotomy sham.
Why are Snowden and Assange persona non grata in the US? Even the government isn't accusing them of making it all up....Assange offered to prove the party line about Russian hacking false - and all negotiations shut down instantly -
Why did Ike warn us about an MIC that would wind up in power and cause endless wars killing innocent people wherever we could get away with it? Did it come true?
Why is every attempt to make peace undermined? Who loses with peace? The MIC and self serving fear and lie mongers some call the deep state. Damn, it's obvious.
Heh, Fox is wimpy and entertainment for the lower IQ range....if that's all you got, come at me bro - I've been around watching this shit longer than Fox by a huge margin.
I'd mod you up if I hadn't commented. Yep...They "have kids to feed", fear, partisanship, war help with that, and it's obvous they've succumbed to temptation. No party is going to stop them as there's plenty dirt to go around and who'd have that if not these very people - who we PAY to lie for a living. So....I don't see a good way to do much about it, other than try and get people awake...sooner or later it'll be too embarrassing to admit you work for one of these outfits who profit from deception, blackmail, murder.
Oh, that's right - we stopped allowing public schools to teach any version of right and wrong or the idea of shame....and this is the result.
Against themselves and other deep-state players. That's just the biz as usual. We know where their sympathies lie by their sedition against the current government (which you don't have to approve of to see happening)...Hell, Clapper even admitted lying to congress, and Brennan...holy cow, what an obviously warped person. Things rot from the head down, most often. They're just wiping it, like with a cloth.
Fare well, fellow travelers...
Grammar, the difference between knowing your shit and knowing you're shit.
If I have to do all the work to understand you, you're being a lazy prick; if your're proud of your ignorance...get off my lawn.
Since nothing here actually increases the amount of money anyone but a state has to pay anyone for anything, the rosy projected numbers will not materialize, though states will start spending this new windfall on "whatever" before they discover what is obvious to anyone who can measure the size of a pie. We all know that state spending is efficient in boosting the economy, more so than personal spending, right?/s .
So they'll keep using super rosy assumed rates of return on their underfunded pension plans, buy votes by spending some tiny fraction on popular initiatives and hire more bureaucrats to increase the warm seat count, increase the old guard pay and bennies, and generally carry on as usual - till they, too late "discover" that this money didn't comein and now they need to borrow...again.

"I said no camels, that's six camels, can't you count?"
Maybe they'll make some new rules about this one - like they had to do after George Soros manipulated the BoE and "broke it" with now illegal trades. Oh, did George just say he was getting into bitcoin a little while back? Progs need a new hero if George is the best they can do - ask his home country or the fellow Jews he helped the Nazis round up before next you take his buck to protest the government. He makes even the worst loser we have look angelic - and readily admits he DID meddle in our elections via his "foundations".
Their customers largely spin up a ton of identical instances that aren't doing the kinds of things systemd breaks, and anyway, once you fix one, you've fixed them all - until the next rev of systemd anyway (so simple it's taking what, well over 200 revs and still doesn't work right).
On the other hand, most of the rest of us are home-gamers or small busineeses, not RH's customers (most of us use Debian...) and almost any customization of services you want started at boot gets broken by a new rev of systemd. And the workarounds on the 'net - are usually for earlier systemd revs and no longer work. Just taking a raspberry pi upgrade kills half your stuff and days are wasted finding out why mounting a share doesn't work, nginx won't start, mysql can't find its database, custom message passing fails due to wrong startup order, and few of us have hours per WEEK to screw around learning yet another, more complex way of doing what used to work fine and are tired of seeing arrogant responses like "then don't do that - WONTFIX".
It's at least as "exciting" if you have half a dozen PCs you want to have doing customized work and talking to one another depending on which is on at the time.
TL;DR
Red Hat has no reason to give a shit. They sell support contracts they'd sell anyway due to MBAs, and for a jillion instances in a cloud, one fix does all.
For my case, you'd need several per machine, and RH doesn't support debian/Mint/etc even if I wanted to pay them. This is based on actual events on my homestead, I'm not gassing about imaginaries.
People are using now using the slur whataboutism to defend how someone else gets away with something they don't - or similar analogy.
You know - like progs deflect all criticism of admitted yet unprosecuted crimes but expect prosecution of imaginary ones their opponent supposedly committed.
I've never had an apt-get update break anything - for decades. Now, I did just install pulseaudio in a ras pi on stretch and it borked it good - but given that was the original screwup from the RedHat guy (LP) now giving us systemd - I knew it was at my own risk and imaged my system first....
While that IS funny, you might not know if you know people or already have them as contacts, the free video-call is still going strong - works a LOT better than skype and is free. Which is probably why Google took out the tools for easy discover of new contacts - they aren't making any money on it... .
So if you were to sign up now you'd see nada...heh, it's almost like stealth for those in the know.
