When the Australian government gave everyone $900 it managed to be the only western country exposed to the 2008 financial crisis that not only avoided a recession, but actually experienced growth during it.
Imagine Wisconsin simply giving everyone $1700. I'm sure it would be a much better for the economy of the state than creating 10000 low wage jobs (as laughable as that figure actually is).
You should definitely tell those armed civilians in Afghanistan - who have fought the US military to a standstill for a decade - that they have absolutely no chance against the US military.
They don't. But they for the past decade they have been playing against what only can be defined as a "trickle oppression". The USA hasn't demonstrated it's military might since the Vietnam war and even that effort paled in comparison to WW2.
Make no mistake, those civilians in Afghanistan have zero chance against the US military. However the US military hasn't really put it's heart into it either.
This will help to ensure that any gun nut has to have at least three people who think they are responsible enough to have a gun.
Are you suggesting that a gun nut can't find 3 other gun nuts in the city? This is the single most pointless restriction I have ever heard of. Most {insert any topic here} nut put themselves in an echo chamber of like minded nuts, surrounded by nuts of the same kind. If all you need to perpetuate nuttiness is for a nut to know a few other nuts then all you have made is pointless paperwork.
And the legacy reason? Supporting Windows machines.
There's nothing legacy about it. Samba itself is a perfectly fine protocol and one of the few that is actually nicely cross platform which can not be said for NFS or AFS. It nicely decouples the file system attributes from the sharing protocol and allows authentication on a per share level without having to worry about matching file system permissions between the server and clients.
Hell I used to work at a linux only shop that used samba as its primary way of sharing for exactly this reason.
Maybe you aren't paying attention enough and just assuming what the news cycle feeds you is the case. We have plenty of green energy already, have for years.
There's so much wrong with this statement in the context of what we are talking about. Let's look at it:
Paying attention: I am.
The news cycle: The news is doing a great job of showing exactly what government policy is. Unless you can point to a source that shows the Trump administration piling huge amounts of money and new subsidies into green energy generation? Or maybe all news these days is "alt news".
Plenty of green energy: In the context of the environment on generation? You have fuck all green energy. In the context of envrionment of primary energy consumption? You have fuck all green energy. In the context of grid stability? You have even less green energy that affects stability due to a large portion of your green coming from baseload hydro plants than the initial green energy numbers would show. ~ 17% of your energy is renewable. Of that 43% is baseload hydro, good if you can get it but quite finite in supply, leaving you with ~7% of your energy actually sourced from traditional renewable source which would affect stability, and is also the largest portion to grow as any part of green agenda. Again: fuck all given we are talking about grid stability and comparing it to a grid powered by 50% of such renewables.
But is a bike still a bike if it can't be ridden? I don't know about the specifics here but these schemes typically involve either a docking station that won't release the bike or rear-wheel bike look that won't release the bike.
In the worst case, a rather primitive deployment like this should lose 15m-1h of data
Or maybe they lost no data at all and you are just jumping to conclusions about a problem you don't know anything about: https://bycyklen.dk/en/news/sa...
Notice that the problem is fixed almost entirely on the client side?
A versioning file system is not the same as a backup mechanism.
And yet the OP's ZFS "solution" listed as its great feature: "and those snapshots were sent to other remote machines for backup..." Please read entire threads before replying.

Microsoft doesn't. It's blocked by default. SMBv1 is also disabled by default and has been for quite a while. Unfortunately there are just as many idiots in the Linux admin world as there are in the Windows world, and the vast majority of these are nothing to do with Windows.
The summary tweet in TFA: "Almost a year after WannaCry and there's still over a million SMB servers without auth exposed to the world. At least it looks like "only" 66k of them are running Windows"
I know. Right. It's like... you're completely unable to read.
Almost a year after WannaCry and there's still over a million SMB servers without auth exposed to the world. At least it looks like "only" 66k of them are running Windows
I mean you don't even need to read a summary, just a 170 character tweet. Too difficult for some people I guess.
Yeah I know the grid makeup in the USA, I'm just pointing fun at the general political climate over there that sees no real desire or push for green energy.
Still frequencies and voltage DO matter to a number of equipment esp electronics.
What electronics? Most electronics based on switching circuits will happily accept 50Hz or 60Hz. and significant variations from there. The remainder of electronics are more than happy with quite significant deviations. In order to even be qualified to be plugged into the outlet you need to be able to handle -6/+4% deviations (on a 50% power system). By comparison the frequency regulator will attempt to maintain +/-1%. Many grid connected systems will trip out on under / over frequency long before you get to that -6/+4% range. Our own 50MW turbines can't handle more than a 2% deviation. Chances are if you're hitting that -6% mark it's because a chunk of the country is now sitting in darkness.
"Trolling" means you're making stuff up just to get a reaction.
Such as implying that touchscreens don't get calibrated. When you dump your fat finger on a small little screen no one cares about calibration. Since we stopped using resistive touch the calibrations have stopped drifting. That doesn't mean that precision devices don't benefit from calibration, and it doesn't matter if you own a Microsoft Surface or a $3000 Wacom Cintiq Pro. Actually it does matter. The Cintiq Pro has a far longer and more complicated calibration process.
I'm genuinely trying to help people who don't understand that Microsoft is literally evil
Nope. You're just genuinely talking out of your arse.
The system operator (AEMO) needs to overhaul its policies and procedures for control as well as billing.
The same is said of every frequency market in the world. They are all taking a very active interest in these developments. The last article I've read on the topic was from the UCTE (Union for the Co-ordination of Transmission of Electricity) in Europe.
By the way the AEMO is only the operator. It doesn't define the market or make the rules. That's the AEMC's job (Commission not operator). And they are in the process of overhauling the market. https://www.aemc.gov.au/market... There's a few nice things to read in there. I suggest not reading the draft report. At 228 pages it will not do good things for your sanity:-)
From a quick search it was a former whaling station which featured among other things a floating ship repair yard. In the 30s it looks like they just dumped the props on the beach, but if you look at the pictures you'll see there's plenty of other industrial litter from their repair operations still laying around.
Any programs of dollars spent towards any of these things that were "nodded" to by previous administrations needs to be stopped immediately.
Yes indeed. The USA shouldn't spend a dime on making the world a better place. Only the rest of the world has people who want to live in a cleaner environment. Here in the good ol' US of A the only real crime is that no one has invented a coal powered cigarette that I can smoke while rolling coal through my oversized truck on the way to the coal fields. You want to fix global warming? I'll fix global warming for ya: *Opens windows and turns on the A/C*.
Yes it would look like that if you know nothing about EEE, how it works, or the market forces that drove MS to do it in the first place.
I've said it many times before but I'll give you the summary version here:
a) To do EEE you need to have market dominance. All MS can do with their current Linux market share is embrace, nothing more. b) You want to do EEE to drive out competitors. But why would MS do that? The don't compete with Linux in any market Linux users care about. c) To do EEE you need a leadership team who are competent to pull of a long term strategy to kill off competition. All the current leadership team can do is write off billion dollar purchases, run companies into the ground, and masturbate over pictures of clouds. d) The WSL has nothing to do with Linux on the desktop or server. MS doesn't care about Linux computers having Windows installed because the number of Linux computers out there is pathetically small part of the market. WSL has everything to do with Cloud. It has to do with the fact that people are running Linux instances in Azure instead of Windows instances. It has to do with migrating some of those users to Windows, and it has to do with enticing even more users to develop both platforms on one instance giving Azure an edge of AWS.
So no. It's not like the year 2001 even in the slightest.
Terrorism? "Oh. We'll just have to GET USED TO IT!" You know, like they do in 3rd world hell-holes where terror attacks are a daily thing.
126 people have died in Terror attacks in the UK since the turn of the millennium. There were over 1000 in the 15 years prior to that and over 2000 in the 15 years prior to that.
Yeah. This level of terrorism is something I could really get used to.
Rape gangs? *TUMBLEWEEDS*
Yes crickets are usually the sound you hear after police go about their business of identifying arresting convicting and imprisoning / deporting the perpetrators. What were you expecting? A parade?
Police are ineffectual fops because criminals are ARMED and they AREN'T? And have to wait, sometimes for HOURS, for armed backup? *CRICKETS* Violent crime going through the roof? "NOBODY NEEDS A KNIFE!" And then they arrest a guy with a potato peeler.
LOL, Breitbart much? The police in the UK are doing just fine. And the homicide rate in the past 5 years is the lowest it's been in 3 decades. Knife crime was up the past 2 years, but not appreciably, and you're far safer in London than many US cities.
Fast Food? "OMGWTFBBQ! The evil has revealed itself! GET THEE BEHIND ME SATAN!"
Now to take this full circle. You started with sensationalistic terrorism: 126 deaths since the start of the year. Let's end with the 30000 people who die from obesity related illnesses every year.
That's right, more people die from obesity related illness every year than the combination of: Terrorism. + Young girls getting raped by rape gangs + Police getting shot by bad guys. + People getting stabbed.
Mind you if you get threatened by someone carrying a knife (not stabbed or killed) then in combination with all the above you're about on par with the number of people who die in the UK due to obesity related illnesses.
Just fucking pathetic.
Look I know where you're coming from. I too read the Daily Mail. The difference is I do it because it's important to read what stupid people read so you can understand their stupid comments.

There are few if any places on the US grid where they have the stability problems that the Australian battery is being used to manage.
It it will stay like that because coal is king and green energy will never work* in the USA.
