Time to un-ask the question - instead: Why do we let the government write these social contracts in the first place? The only roll the government should be to adjudicate the contracts in case of a conflict. People should write their own contracts. And why should being in a private contract give one special rights?
Special rights to special groups is how the government divides the people and enslaves us.
I think anyone that wants to bind themselves with such a contract should be free to. I don't see scrapping the rule of law (this is a state issue at best) as being a good idea. - the ends don't justify the means.
I celebrate freedom - not the end of the rule-of-law.
i had read all the negative stuff about systemd - expected a nightmare - updated a couple of machines - small learning curve - but guess what - I ended up liking it. The system found some bugs for me that had eluded me for a long time.
Big deal - I type systemctl start daemon (tab complete works here) instead of/etc/init.d/daemon . I suppose some of you are just too old to learn anything new. Yes change is work - and I'm lazy - but this is obviously the future.
And despite the disinformation posted here - you could remove systemd if you want - but it would be stupid to.
Of course that is stealing. You also got scammed but two wrongs don't make it right.
Here is the rub - back in the '70s they started the 'open admissions' bit - anyone could get in if the government was helping fund the school. Drop-out rates were very high - but the schools REALLY like all the money coming in - the solution - lower the standards. The race to the bottom continues. The result - most degrees are worthless. (yes - new MDs scare the hell out of me)
Some examples - I just finished helping a new Mechanical Engineer fix a machine - I asked if the heater was proportional control or duty-cycle - he was actually a bright kid - just went through engineering school without learning even the basics of control loops(KU).
I told this story to a second student that is finishing up his Chemical Engineering degree - he also had no idea of even the basics of control loops (and yes real CE is all about control loops). He said he knows he is getting ripped off - non of his teachers have worked in industry - they have no idea of anything outside of academic parrot and preach. He met students from Brazil and was amazed - they were quite competent - had learned all sorts of stuff about chemical processing that he had missed out on. So now he is pissed - he realizes his degree isn't worth much - he will have to work as an intern and hopefully learn enough to keep a job. Yet, he has a massive debt.
The point is that going to school today gives one a sense of entitlement, a huge debt, and no portable skills. There is this idea of return on investment - learning to weld might be a better idea.
The latest release of Debian - called jessie is quite nice. There are good reasons to use an operating system that makes it clear what is free(as in freedom) software and what is not. Non free software can be fine - but often you and your personal information is the real product.
I would further say - without diminishing the work contributed by other distros - Debian is the heart and core of Open source software.
Postmodernisim - the philosophy that really says that it is easy to be biased - so they don't even try.
And yes, real science is REALLY hard to do. So we get to the point where everyones opinion is just as valid as anyones else's - so if you have someone that believes in gravity and someone that doesn't - they should compromise?
Yes - we need theorists in physics - no we don't need theorists that build on unproven theorists that build on further unproven stuff. You end up with a bunch of junk that is worthless. (Yes - the results of science need to have some value - ability to predict things etc. )
There is a quote to this effect:
Give me four parameters and I can fit an elephant; Give me five and I can wag its tail. (The source of the above quote?? Variants have been attributed to C.F. Gauss, Niels Bohr, Lord Kelvin, Enrico Fermi.)
Of course, producing worthless papers of speculation paid for with government grants (which come from people that actually work) - I suppose it is more fun than having to make it in the real world.
Actually, just what I was thinking (today nobody remembers Crookes (I named a cat after him)). Key bit of missing information in the article - how good a vacuum? Really matters. And just measuring a hard vacuum as made fools out of a lot of people.
There are other possibilities - our country paid people to publish false and misleading papers (no - they have not been retracted) . This doesn't even become news IMO until it is published and replicated.
The amount of technology that has been 'borrowed' by the Chinese is mind boggling - unprecedented. Yet it takes a particular kind of culture to understand the technology in a way that lets them synthesize further progress. A lot of the papers I see coming out of China are just 'cargo cult science' - looks like science - but it isn't. It takes a particular set of values - held dear and close to the heart - to do real science.
The grant proposal industry has diluted the quality of papers so that a very small minority represent real science. I would think of this as likely just bad science once again.
I love Debian - this messy debate is what freedom looks like. We should embrace it. This is how real progress is made.
That being said. The evolution of an init system is still needed, and there are some major problems with both systems - thus it is obvious that there is an opportunity for a third system that is more elegant than either of these two.
I think the debate has shown that neither way is correct and that a third way - probably more evolutionary and less draconian will emerge.
Fine particles are also made by natural events - wind erosion - wave erosion - water freezing - form long before man walked on earth. Why is everything man does seen with 'brown-colored-glasses?
"could be a potential source."
This sure sounds like grant seeking behavior rather than science.
In this application, the accuracy isn't important - and you are adjusting for a peak value or null. Digital meters try to compensate with a bar graph, but it just isn't the same. And I don't like analogs here out of nostalgia.
I use both kinds of meters - analog meters are poor at accuracy, but if I have to peek circuits, I'm going to use an old analog meter.
There is one more advantage to analog meters - they are low impedance compared to the fancy meters - and that can fool the user if there is electromagnetic noise. Different tools for different jobs.
As a non believer that actually lives in Kansas - I find my Christian neighbors to have more respect for my beliefs than the socialist leftists have. Tolerance needs to work in all directions.
In the end - I have the choice of 4 ISP providers in my town - setting up cartels would prevent that. Life is good here - we don't need bigots here - stay on the coasts.
Except those numbers just are not true. (Normally we specify the cycle life at the point where the battery still has 60% of capacity and full discharge cycles. )
And of course if your goal was to reduce CO2 you have the opposite effect due to conversion losses.
I think it will become accepted - there may need to be some etiquette established with it's use - not that that has happened with smart-phones.
Just imagine - if you do something stupid - someone might tape it and keep it in your face for ever - the Internet never forgets.,.,.
What would you say to someone taping you with their Google-glass and you found it uncomfortable?
What do we say to our kids when we try to talk to them, but the TXTing keeps interrupting?
In the end we are still social creatures, wired to react to irrepressible facial and voice expressions. Even over the phone, I can sometimes tell if someone is lying to me by bits of stress in their voice (but harder with CODEX distortion and latency).
I suppose taping peoples conversations will either make people more honest or more angry.. but definitely less forthcoming - thus an anti-social effect.
Fuel cells need ultra pure fuel in order to not spoil their extremely expensive reactors. Creating this fuel and transporting it cleanly is not cheap.
I've seen no end of articles claiming that fuel cells are the cure to everything. Tons of grant money has flowed and no products are displacing other technology.
The market place is far from perfect, but it is far better than any panel of pointy headed academics at providing workable solutions. M$ has shown the lack of ability to create new profitable products for many years now - this looks like yet another windoze fone effort.
The problem is that they were trying to avoid words and vocabulary - thus they created symbolic abstraction - probably not realizing it is just another form of vocabulary. I would much rather use a test written by a practicing math teacher than some pointed headed Phd.
Having taught math, the real problem is the books are written by committees and a prime goal is to keep parents from complaining that their kids have to do real work to learn. ( If you want to teach your child math - find older books - books after the 60's and 70's have gone way down hill. )
I think you should hesitate and think for yourself about the definition (there are way to many that parrot and preach int the world). Not all rewards are physical items. And a physical item can remove a different feedback - both positive and negative. It isn't that difficult to analyze the vocabulary and realize the arbitrary nature of the issue. In the end, we have to ask if it has helped of hurt our true understanding of what is going on.
The reality of psychology is that people coining new poorly defined terms can publish books and papers - get grant money and profit. There are others of us that want to truly understand the world we live in. This requires a consistent, objective epistemology and the type of science described perhaps best by Richard Feynman.
Food reward is the most studied feedback - and is the food positive or the hunger a negative?
The way out of this is to realize that we evolved to survive - and the feedback impacts our survival. How psychologists classify feedback does not really matter.
Animal trainers have demonstrated repeatedly that positive reinforcement is more effective at eliciting behavior than negative. In other words, the carrot works better than the stick.
To me, this seems contradictory.
There is a lot of papers on the point you bring up. What makes something positive? Eating after not having food is positive or is it the end of a negative experience? If you have plenty to eat, is food still a reward? (animal trainers keep their animals a bit hungry ).
So is a paycheck positive? Or is it preventing a negative. etc etc..
Seems quite problematic. if a company is now building a $5B edifice to the egos of the bosses - is that going to make a good investment into the future? I don't think so.
The real world is full of people waiting for Apple to make a misstep - there is plenty of office space available at reasonable rates.

Totally agree - then I read the whole thing - never mentioned Dophin vs Nautilus. I mean - the most important part of a desktop was never considered?
BTW Dolphin rocks.

It only applies to folks running one of these packages:
xen, qemu,
The software is there for a reason - same goes for why there is still an ISA bus (used for timing) etc.
These old devices need to exist for software compatibility.
Or even better - use coreboot with open drivers.

"Paper money still exist and it is anonymous by design"
Not really when you realize they scan the serial numbers...
Of course the arrow of causation could also be reversed - or both are caused by some third factor (wealth?). Or research bias/fraud? Or just chance.
But that will not stop most from quoting this as cause and effect.

No need for the officious, wasteful daylight savings time. Get the government out of my clocks! Just zulu time would work for me.

No number for worst case latency - Something needed so VoIP actually works.
