In addition to binary logging its own data It will contain its own Klog and Syslogd implementation, And you'll have no option to use your own syslog daemon anymore.
Everything will be configured with command line tools instead of config files.
It will ship with three new integrated filesystem formats called SystemdBootFS, SystemdLogFS, And SystemdConfigFS, And after the conversion every Linux machine's root filesystem will have to be SystemdBootFS, and the Logs will be stored on the SystemdLogS, which will be solely binary for the logs with no directory structures.
Also, the SystemDConfigFS will be the dedicated config filesystem which has no traditional directory structure but functions similarly to the Windows registry and has a similar role in regards to Systemd services configurations (Which will now encompass all major core system services, and remote network services).
as for drunks and suicides and stolen vehicles... clearly that doesn't represent human driving ability
Eliminating suicides and stolen vehicles is fair, But eliminating Drivers under the Influence is not. It is common for human drivers to be drunk or driving while exhausted or under the influence of a substance, and that's a common contributor to accidents, and one of the variables that autonomous cars should eliminate.
very low actual risk numbers and a long history of medical evidence regarding exposure at even higher levels not resulting in significant statistical increases
All that stuff about 'no statistically significant increase in risk' goes way out the window if he was careless and wound up taking in a significant amount of radioactive material (Or other poison) directly into his body.
The low risk occurs when the source of radiation is not directly inhaled or ingested.
Facebook just owns the website; the content on it is supplied by and judged by users.
If you want to discourage fake news then suggest they add a "Verifications" line similar to the "Comments" section for verified true stories, and where people can contribute corroborating sources Or sources showing the story false.
And limit how large a picture, or how large a thumbnail or headline text can show in peoples' news feed, until positive Verifications accrue.
The lament is equivalent to arguing that chain-letter e-mail hoaxes caused the outcome, because "e-mail service providers were spotted running fake e-mail threads on their platform numerous times over the past few months,"
Any facility to remove 'fake news stories' would be abused.
They already have a comment system where folks can add comments, if they believe a story is fake.
But when it comes to political matters..... people are seen to report any story that disagrees with their prized candidate as bad/fake.
In recent elections unlike any other, ordinary people who just posted to Facebook and nothing more see themselves as activists and part of their candidate's campaign.
The Smith act, then is Unconstitutional. Free expression, especially political speech is constitutionally protected.
Just because secession is not a state-recognized right does not mean it cannot happen.
First a state can pass laws and restructure its affairs causing it to "virtually secede" in some ways.
Second, there is nothing to say that a secession cannot happen if approved by a resolution passed by the US House and Senate, then signed by the president ---- in other words, secession under terms approved by congress.
But only if you take on all the debt. And acquiesce to continued US administration on all matters of international trade.
California: you have to take responsibility of your fair share of the national debt By paying Income tax on all current and future Net incomes, And your fair share as a percentage is the average of the 3 percentages :
Your state's population Divided by the country's population Plus
The sum total federal dollars spent in or on matters related to your state over its entire lifetime divided by the total federal dollars ever spent by the Federal government
PLUS your state's annual economic output divided by the country's annual economic output.
If I put a poster up on the community bulletin board, do I also get to say who gets to read it and under what conditions?
It's even worse than that..... they're putting the poster up on their public storefront, And they're then trying to sue Auto makers because they provide a GPS pre-programmed with the location of the poster as an "attraction", with commercial advertisements in the GPS app.
My first thought was, well, if I can control all this shit remotely, so could someone else.
Yeah.... I do think there's a simple solution though. "Sanity-protected smart thermostat"
Put the system on an automated internet-connected thermostat, But in the wiring include a supplementary Limiting device in series with the Smart stat which will transfer control of heat to a mechanical T-stat if temperature exceeds 68 degrees, Or if temperature drops below 60 degrees... And transfer control of A/C to mechanical if temperature goes below 72 or above 78.
Install the mechanical override T-stats with permanently established settings, and put them inside the cold-air return to make sure ordinary people cannot see or mess with the limiter T-S.
Seriously, there is absolutely NO good that comes from wiring up every little thing to the internet.
Wiring things up to IP networks provides remote control which saves time, money, and effort.
The reason they wind up connected to the internet is because internet connectivity is a commodity available through Internet service providers as a consumer service and other network-based services are not commodities, or require hiring professionals to help design and build, or paying the service provider extra costs. Internet is cheap, widely available, and easy to install --- there is no need to hire IT professionals to build a simple network that costs of an ISP line and a DHCP router, or no need to pay the phone company extra for an additional POTS line or serial lead-line, just slap in a patch cable hook it up (Newer HVAC products are probably including built in Wi-Fi, so just set the name of the Access point, and maybe the pre-shared password If the equipment supports WEP or WPA2 [It probably doesn't]), and route that traffic over a cheap, ubiquitous, and generic WAN service.
The GPL says nothing about "at the same time" you ignorant cultist twat.
Go back to school, you newbie 7-digit Slashdot-UID-holder.
See GPL (6) All allowed options of distribution require the source code or explicit offer for source code be conveyed simultaneously. There is no permissible delay between providing the code and offering the source allowed by the GPL, period.
You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License, in one of these ways:
a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange.
b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product model,....
c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the written offer to provide the Corresponding Source. This alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially
d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no further charge.....
e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no charge under subsection 6d.
Yes, it does. Specifically, one of the options for source distribution is:
False. This option requires including upfront documentation on how to get the source code, in the form of a written offer (which is open to anyone to exercise).
They can even charge a fee, and they only have to provide source for three years
False and False. They are only allowed to receive compensation for exactly their reasonable costs in physically conveying the source code, or $0 for source code distributed over the network (That's the important part); the GPL does not allow them to make an arbitrary charge for providing the source.
Furthemore, It's the latter of 3 Years from the date that binary/object code was distributed, AND The last date customer support or spare parts were available for the product:
b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
Not until someone *who owns one of these* requests the source code.
FALSE IF they don't utilize option (A) by accompanying the program with its source on the same distribution media as with the original program, and they they thus choose (B), then they must:
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
Note that the GPL requirement is a valid offer made to ANY THIRD PARTY, not just the person you originally distributed the program to.
And Option (C) the GPL says is allowed Only for Non-commercial redistribution of non-modified executable code you received, and says you can redistribute the GPL'd Binaries you receive to someone else sent you and just pass on the the Offer for source code you received from someone else.
Since you dont know how it works, then surely you being a bright intelligent person knew that you didnt.... which begs the question....
No.... That IS exactly how this works. If they are distributing binary copies of open source software then they MUST provide the source code for the components shipping in the product at the same time, by choosing and implementing one of the GPL's provided options for source code distribution.
There are a few different ways that they can accomplish it, But there's no provision in the GPL that authorizes a delay between distributing the binary GPL-covered program and offering its source code.
Adapters are required because the USB-C connector is too new, not because it is proprietary. In two to five years, most new peripherals will not require the adapter,
USB-C does not replace or supercede or do what HDMI and Ethernet connectors do, however. These are not legacy, and there's nothing to replace them, except in Apple's world, where they'd like people to use Thunderbolt for video, instead
There are still brand new monitors, video capture, and other video In/Out devices being released by most manufacturers which have 4k HDMI and no 'Thunderbolt' or 'Displayport'... It's not a great idea to have a Laptop that you won't be able to make your Powerpoint presentations on, because you have these foreign interfaces which only Apple is adopting.
It's a possibility.... consider the possibility that they time-shifted a quake which was inevitable and might have happened 80 years later, in 2015 instead of 1933, and with 1000X as much strength in magnitude.
Which is why people should be vetted and subject to background checks prior to working for a company.
Most companies DO run background checks, But background checks are not a substitute for using record management systems that provide proper controls AND managing those controls.
Files with personally identifiable information on customers or personnel should NOT just be on companies' shared windows disk where anyone in the company can access and copy their data with no controls.
The data belongs in an application that vaults the data, does not permit customer or HR data to be worked on with unsafe tools such as Microsoft Excel or copied to external or internal disks with simple drag and drop operations, and requires the user supply a 'proof of need' or a reason for each file being accessed, each time that record data is being accessed.
Call me when they have machines that convert Bitcoins into Swiss Francs.
Actually.... I think it would be best just to have all retailers start accepting BTC and allowing you to pay extra BTC for up to 10% of your purchase back as cash at the time of purchase.
The lawsuit says publishing a voted ballot on social media can be a powerful form of political expression.
Sorry. Campaigning by the voting booths or threatening to hurt people who don't vote or who do vote differently from you would also be some powerful forms of political expression, but all those are also prohibited by lawful place and manner restrictions on free speech.
There are certain places where no public expression is allowed, and the voting booth is one of them, unless your 'selfie' is to expose some newsworthy thing, and not, say, what your votes were....
In other words.... campaigning, or taking selfies is prohibited, regardless of the content of your message or who you voted for, so it's not a particular restriction based on content of your message, so it's not considered an infringement on free speech rights.
I think the FCC caught these companies off guard.... the broadband providers weren't expecting to be regulated, so they didn't make the right investments in getting the regulators bought off, and ensuring cronies were appointed to the commissions: Also, an opportunity has not yet presented itself to get FCC board people replaced; these folks are in for an entire administration, and it would take something like a new president coming into office, to give major carriers a shot at re-populating the board with their own people.....
I expect things will be dramatically different in the upcoming years, as the broadband providers make larger investments in buying more politicians, and getting laws changed through congressional lobbying, and more influence in the selection of FCC commissioners through bought-and-paid-for government executives.
Municipalities impose all kinds of zoning ordinances on property owners.
Zoning ordinances are only able to restrict what can be built on the land. Those aren't able to control what private business property owners do inside their homes.
Land rented out on AirBnB is still being used for residential functions, just like normal house rentals --- one person, or less than 10 people are living there at a time, albeit, the arrangement may be a temporary one; it's immaterial in regards to land use whether a friend is staying over or whether there's a formal business transaction.
always available for rent because the owners were making more money on it then renting them out as housing.
Makes sense. In other words..... listing that unit on AirBnB provides more value to both the owner and to the public than offering that unit for long-term rent, since there is more consumer demand for what AirBnb provides than for long-term housing, otherwise the two should cost about the same per day to rent.
Meaning what AirBNB does makes things fairer for people.
With a long-term rental I get stuck in a lease for perhaps an entire year, and then have to pay a penalty if I want to move early..... With a short-term AirBNB-style rental, I would be free to move my apartment to a different part of town every month. How come I should get gouged for that? The price for a short-term VS a long-term ought to be relatively equal, and there's clearly a market distortion / manipulation being done designed to bolster profits for the long-term tenants at expense of the public.
Also, BOTH renting for long term AND renting out short-term through AirBnB ARE ways of getting housing. One is just a longer term agreement. The difference in price should be mostly the average administrative costs for each rental period. Obviously renting through AirBnB or other short-term arrangements have a higher average per-day administrative cost.
Tell that to the dead squirrel that I removed from my dog-rated wire
It sounds like you might have found one where the manufacturer cut corners to save $$$.
Or it is possible that your dead squirrel had a mishap aside from encountering your electric fence.
I imagine your dog-rated installation is closer to the ground than a normal electric fence, and it's possible that a squirrel tried to crawl underneath, then got trapped in there and snagged on the wire, unable to withdraw.....
This is different from just coming in contact with an energized wire...... In fact, a completely Non-electrified fence can sometimes snag and get small rodents killed.
