there's not enough funding to run a big enough program for all the qualified applicants.
You missed the point. Even if there's only funding for one applicant, if you can't select that applicant reliably on GPA alone then something is wrong with the process.
Bollocks. We all know that the smartphone created the concept of inattentiveness and is what broke down social structures. Certainly people never did things like read books or newspapers./sarcasm
As a hybrid I have been getting about same mileage as I was from my GTI (about 44mpg per tank) so I am happy with that.
Wait, WTF? I get that mileage from my 10 year old french piece of shit and I don't even have the smallest or most efficient engine that was sold at the time. How are you not getting 70+mpg in a hybrid?
No, I'm just capable of following a conversation and don't construe other people's words to mean something completely irrelevant that isn't at all being discussed, e.g. the sale of electricity when we're talking about connector compatibility.
I want one standard for charging, and one type of connector, so I can drive up to any charging station without worrying about it being the wrong kind.
Normally I'm not against government regulating standardisation, but why regulate this? The industry is already converging. These chargers will be CCS which is backed by the majors and even Teslas can be charged from CCS stations.
I am against regulating after the fact for something that is already sorted.
While clearly that's ideal. I'm not sure how hard it would be. I mean, some cars will be able to charge faster than others. So even if the charger "knows" the maximum rate, the charger may not be rated as high and it'll still charge slower.
So? Let it charge slower. The problem is not being able to plug in in the first place. The open fast charging standards already negotiate the charging rate, that's not what the GP is complaining about.
Yes plenty. Many cities in Norway and Sweden provide public WiFi that works flawlessly. I also never had any problems with implementations in Hong Kong or mainland China or those offered in many parts of central Europe.
Also I basically live at Airports including one of the largest hubs in Europe, and frankly airport WiFi also works quite flawlessly in most places. The last time I had an issue with airport WiFi was at Teeside and that issue was they only offered 15min free (but that was the least of my problems at that craphole).
Only if you don't understand voting systems. Read the link. It was a 4-2-2 in favour of systemd. By pairwise elimination it ended up 4-4 in a case of Systemd vs Upstart which is the tie bdale needed to end.
If he'd voted the other way, you'd be here saying the same thing and bitching about upstart which had it's own share of detractors, not to mention that people don't understand the system as it is so we'd have a list of slashdot commenters asking why Debian is using an init system which only got 2 out of 6 votes.
The world is full of voting systems each with their own benefits and downsides. In many of them systemd would have been an overwhelming winner, including the first past the post systems so favoured by democracy, or stacked points often used to judge popularity. But, pairwise elimination it was.
Systemd dies if there is no cgroup support in the kernel.
WTF! Of course it does! That was one of the fundamental points of systemd. It's like saying Apache dies if you don't compile network support into the kernel, or that you can't mount an ext2fs if you don't compile ext2fs in the kernel.
Based on the way people talk about systemd Devuan should now be the best funded and most active distribution in the linux world.
Snide comment aside, I don't think they'll go away. This topic has basically turned into a religion and the existence of Devuan is beyond someone's fork project and basically propped up by a belief system that an alternative must exist in the Linux world. I'd bank on it being around for a while.
By simple majority systemd had double the number of votes than upstart and further discussions and was a clear winner. No one preferred keeping sysvinit, and everyone preferred openRC over sysvinit. However they didn't go by simple majority but rather by pairwise defeats. After pairwise defeats the only remaining options were systemd vs upstart. The "asshole" you're referring to was the chairman of the technical committee who preferred systemd in favour of upstart.
Of course systemd is more like politics and religion and everyone who doesn't like the outcome then claims that the voting system which has served well in the past is now this very one time inexplicably broken, and all people involved are assholes.
Have you considered running for public office? You'd fit right in.
I'm not sure what's more impressive, that you think only 4 people voted on this decision or that you got someone to mod you up for your incorrect post.
How can Anonymous Cowards justify asking pointless questions they don't want the answers to. I mean if you were really at all interested you'd look up the very public discussion they had on the adoption of systemd.
Those should be weeded out, as that this person wants to off themselves, and would do it by most any means.
Except they don't. Suicides are rarely death by any means and the vast majority are momentary lapses of reason which many people live to regret. Go look up some studies to see how the absence of guns actually makes suicide rates go down. Sure hospitalisation rates for attempted suicides go up, but that's what you get when people realise they made a mistake.
Multiple? Yes that too is paranoid. One covering the most likely place of a fire (i.e. not located in the kitchen but close to it). In America there are about 100 burglary related homicides per year, compared to 3300 deaths due to house fires.
Shouldn't it be called "Linux Subsystem for Windows", because it is running under Windows and not the other way around?
No. There's no Microsoft programs titled like that. It's the Subsystem for running Linux that runs under Windows, Hence Windows Subsystem for Linux. Quite consistent with Windows Defender, Windows Explorer, or Windows Media Player.
Exactly. Just because the AppData folder doesn't show up by default when you browse to your profile directory doesn't mean it's not there and inaccessible.

You missed the point. Even if there's only funding for one applicant, if you can't select that applicant reliably on GPA alone then something is wrong with the process.
Even a perfect GPA won't guarantee you a spot anymore.
If this is the case there's something broken with the University entrance process or the GPA grading process.
Sorry yes you're right. Got the two mixed up.
Until Micro$oft stops pretending
Yeah I know. I can't believe companies are sending many millions of dollars to Microsoft without doing due diligence!

You must regulate to avoid some company playing the "embrace, extend and extinguish" game.
No you don't. Embrace Extend Extinguish only works if you have a monopoly. The car market on the other hand is competitive.

We'll need another "compatibility layer"
There already are compatibility layers.
The good news is that stories like this show we may be seeing the beginning of the end of the whole Internet advertising scam.

Your understanding is basic.
By simple majority systemd had double the number of votes than upstart and further discussions and was a clear winner.
No one preferred keeping sysvinit, and everyone preferred openRC over sysvinit. However they didn't go by simple majority but rather by pairwise defeats.

And if it was a 2-2 tie then that may have happened.
I'm not sure what's more impressive, that you think only 4 people voted on this decision or that you got someone to mod you up for your incorrect post.
How can Debian's developers justify using systemd
How can Anonymous Cowards justify asking pointless questions they don't want the answers to. I mean if you were really at all interested you'd look up the very public discussion they had on the adoption of systemd.
But yes, ignorance is oh so blissful.
It's not like you couldn't take 5 seconds to test that:
Yes because the very first thing you should do if you're certain a command will screw up your system is to run said command to double check...
Those should be weeded out, as that this person wants to off themselves, and would do it by most any means.

I like to keep my guns loaded, chambered and hidden throughout the house...where I'm never but a few steps away from any weapon that I can grab
I like to not live in a 3rd world shit-hole where my safety is dependent on being surrounded by weapons.
