RAID is not backup. RAID is hardware resiliency, but it does nothing against either accidental / cryptolocker deletion. Nor does it help in case of fire.
I heard great things about backblaze. I don't use it, but only because it doesn't work well with my NAS setup.
Fragmentation is and always will be the largest barrier to mainstream linux desktop. Preventing that is very difficult (as the debacle with systemd shows).
The thing I love about windows configuration is discoverability.
I learned 3/4 of my windows administrator knowledge by clicking around in the configuration screen. Now, I am not in any way a professional windows administrator but for personal use (and family support) this is more than enough.
Compare that to a CLI, and things are totally terrible. --help and man kind of work, but they tend to presume a lot of knowledge. Furthermore, if you don't know what command you need, this ain't gonna get you there. The best option is tab-completion and guesswork. Configuration files are better in this regard, but they completely lack validation, making it possible to fuck up a system by a simple typo without any on-line verification.
This issue with implementing such a GUI is consistency. Even microsoft doesn't get this right, with many of the more advanced stuff remaining in old separate and archaic systems. Getting open source to agree on a standard for this, and then keeping that standard relevant and modern would be hard, even if you could get most people to agree this is needed.
I stopped using uTorrent when the upgrade bundelled rootkit-like adware.
Sure, my fault for just clicking next and not un-checking that box, but when a wrong upgrade requires a complete wipe of windows, a product has lost my trust and support.
As it turns out, making a really good battery means putting a lot of energy into a small thing. Enough energy that failure induced rapid discharge is basically an explosion.
Combining this with low-weight requirements leads to little shielding, which makes the batteries more vulnerable. Finally, lets add some heat in usual use, and we get this.
Basically the same thing happened with the hoverboards. l-ion scares me.
Regardless, he still intentionally broke the law by accessing a system without authorization. That it was easy to do doesn't make it any less of a crime.
That is a legal point, not an ethical one though. Breaking unjust laws is neigh the definition of civil disobedience.
Actually, the process youtube uses to takedown isn't actually a DMCA takedown process. The requirements for the claimant are essentially equivalent, but it is not an official DMCA takedown. This precludes YouTube from it's duty to perform due-dilligence, and shields YouTube from liability should they wrongly remove a video.
You really think Netflix has the option to buy globally? I sure as shit don't see the networks agreeing to that deal. Furthermore, even if the networks wanted to, they probably have some preexisting exclusive licensing deals that prevent them from giving global deals.
This is not a move Netflix is making by choice. They are making it to keep the non-original content.
No where within site linked to with the text "mining as a necessary bug, but a bug nonetheless" is it stated that mining is a bug. In fact, the word mining is only used twice. It is mentioned only to explain what mining is in the most hand-wavy way possible.
Very misleading
I read through the actual document, and there are a few interesting points not mentioned in the article.
Firstly, the minister perpetuates the rumor of encryption being relevant in the paris attacks: "De recente aanslagen in Parijs, waarbij mogelijk gebruik is gemaakt van versleuteling van de communicatie door de terroristen" which translates to: "the recent attacks in Paris, where encryption was possibly used in the terrorists communications".
Secondly, the minister hints at following the recent American idea of asking IT companies to voluntarily use encryption in such a way that the government can still acess communications: His statement translates to: "In carrying out their duties, security agencies are partially dependent on cooperation with suppliers of IT products and services. Given this dependence, consultation with these suppliers is needed regarding effective provisioning of data in the case of use by mallicious parties, considering everyone's role and responsibilites as well as the legal frameworks." (5th paragraph 4th page)
You might look into the netflix data set. Its been well analyzed and deals with a realistic problem. There is quite a bit of info on approaches available, and you can get the set yourself, so you can experiment on it. The best results are known, so you have something to compare your personal ideas against.
Getting the set is a bit of a hassle, but should be doable.
There is only situation where local cops no longer get to keep some of the profits. This situation is civil forfeiture under federal law, which is supposedly more lenient. Local police still get to keep assets seized under state law.
I tend to connect over kitty (putty with some extra features). Then on my server I use tmux for multiplexing, tab-like behaviour and all those goodies.
Other times I use the secure shell app on my chromebook to SSH into my server. I then attach to the same (persistent) tmux session.
Unlike any modern editor, one cannot open Vim and start typing. Moreover, one cannot explore menus to see what you can do and what the shortcuts for that are. This makes it much harder to learn than modern GUI editors / IDEs.
Not quite, you generally get much larger salary bumps when job-hopping. This is due to their demand for your skills. Rising wages mean this demand is even higher, giving larger bumps (and better chance of actually finding a new job).

The inbuilt text editor of Emacs is pretty shitty though. Really limits its potential as a desktop environment.

Make gambling against the rules, try and ban bots. Then, to give some credence to the rules, any items received from a gambling bot will be destroyed.
There is also the simple matter of diminishing returns. At 99,99% security, extra security matter a lot less than at 90%.

HOTS was a huge success, because it was almost entirely an accident. Very little actual investment, and a pretty good return.
There certainly is in the Netherlands. This is why the 'Flevopolder' was made.
My guess: "shit we aren't winning in public. How do we retract this without saving face."

Just want to throw in my support for f.lux
