How were those apps not moved to Windows terminal servers a decade ago?
Sure, there may be a handful of dedicated machines that run industrial control products, but those are in a separate support silo, just like the Ricoh photocopier doesn't count as FreeBSD desktop.
But this brings up one very good point - Linux doesn't have a lobbying arm and politicians on the take, so where politicians are involved it's not the best place to push for FLOSS solutions.
Golden Parachutes and old-boy networks ensure that occasional resignations are irrelevant.
Get credit on a blockchain if you want to get on with things - otherwise these people will just take a stock beating and get propped up with government bailouts (courtesy of the very people they have harmed). The whole thing is a systematic abusive relationship.
The CATV model was always explicitly socialist. Long gone are the days when it was just shared access to awesome broadcast antennas, but the ethos remains. They pick the content providers for you, they decide on the packages, and they tell you what [false] dependencies exist in programming. You see, they are the experts and if you were free to make your own choices you would destroy "everything good" about the system. Meanwhile, the gatekeepers get fabulously rich.
Right - go find a project you use that uses the tech you know and look for their 'up for grabs' issues. Contribute. Keep in mind that your professionalism on the issue tracker is going to be more important than your indent style on the code, as long as your algorithms' runtime is correct.
Any excuse that it's size or cost is bullshit rationalization.
Apple is OCD about thinness but I don't think the market actually is. The few people who are will probably buy iPhones anyway.
The only sensible reason I can see is for waterproofing. But then there's the charging port. If they got rid of the charging port and went strictly to radio for _all_ connectivity, then I can see it and would probably even support it. But a USB to audio adapter is _far_ worse than 1mm of phone thickness and if there's a USB port on the thing, then forget it.
Lemmings is probably the answer you're looking for.
Somehow, I can't imagine heroin addicts buying their next fix over the internet. It seems more likely that they would need it to be delivered WAY FASTER
It seems like you don't know that many heroin addicts are opioid addicts who couldn't get their prescription meds anymore (largely due to "the war on opiates"). They are accountants, lawyers, and insurance salesmen who had back surgery, etc.
Plus, a local news story about the rising overdoses from Heroin mentions that the Heroin was TOO POWERFUL, because it was mixed with oxycodone.
Street drugs are sold by the least capable of the dealers at this point. Every online marketplace since eBay was invented has had vendor feedback and dead people don't leave positive feedback. You need to look at the incentive structures at play here.
It's the Hamiltonian dream of a government of, by, and for the public corporations. Jefferson's Republic is dead, man. The mercantilism he and his compatriots fought against now rules the day. Free market capitalism has been replaced with "systemically important financial institutions" that will get bailouts courtesy of taxes excised from the middle class - the same people who got screwed over by Equifax.
the site you're visiting is doing BOTH displaying ads and using your CPU for mining bitcoins which is exactly what is going on.
Some are, some are allowing a slider between revenue streams, and some are only asking for permission on the mining (no ads).
Your blanket statement is false as written, but Google and Cloudflare are pretending it's true. Google is in the ad business and Cloudflare is squarely in the ad distribution business, so both stand to lose tremendously if the Web doesn't remain ad-supported forever.
I'd like to see a system where I can let the miner do its thing if I want, OR let the site deduct some agreed-upon amount from a coin balance that I have. This would let people who want a free-as-in-beer experience on the web do their thing and also let people willing to part with a few pennies have a better overall experience / better battery life.
There's a fork of CoinHive that lets admins put up a permission box to ask the user before mining and limit the CPU usage (to say 15%), and Google is still shutting down the adwords accounts of people using this code (see r/Monero from a few days ago). That code is probably lower impact than a typical Flash ad or a HTML5 autoplay.
There is finally a challenger to an ad-supported Internet and that means war.
... ban semi/automatic weapons in the first place...
Because this sophisticated approach has worked so well for preventing the use of recreational drugs...
Anyway, kudos to the scientists who are hacking around the ban on selling blood, but speaking of bans, we need to get rid of the ban on selling blood. Coincidentally, my team and I were working through a protocol two weeks ago to use a blockchain-based bloodbank protocol to allow this to be done safely and to improve public health and reduce Medicaid spending all at once. Legality is the major impediment.
...but screw Netflix. I am not going to support one of the three companies who were the primary forces behind making the EME part of the HTML5 standard.
Yeah, that was one of the reasons I canceled my Netflix a few months ago.
I figured the family would watch Amazon Video instead, but really YouTube is the competition. We're all-Internet content now (not Hollywood/TV products) and don't miss the old stuff at all.
A few decades ago it really was 9-5. And on that a regular Joe could afford a house, a car or two, a spouse who stayed at home, 2-3 kids, a dog, and retirement.
Do you mean before they abandoned the gold standard in 1971 and inflation went through the roof? Wall Street has profited handsomely - government is working as intended.
Don't you and your wife and the haggard teacher at daycare all feel more fulfilled?
These "up to" claims all seem to be about double the usable levels, but if 16 means 8 hours of useful life then we might actually have a new, useful bit of tech. Being HP I would like to see Overnight Replacement on the warranty.
How long can warranties be extended? How long will particular models be available? How long is Google commiting to make parts available? How long will Google provide Tier-1 software updates?
aside: Do the power connectors all break off like the Chromebooks?
They do, they tell you about how situations would have been stopped sooner. So you've been told it would be less than not having it. That's the "minimum level".
Those are very rare. If anybody is interested, look up "defensive gun uses". The number of estimated defensive gun uses in the US ranges all the way from 80,000 to 2.4 million per year, to prevent bodily harm or death.
When the Obama Administration took office they sought to classify guns as a public health issue and they commissioned the CDC to get the data to prove the problem. The most biased of the CDC people came up with the 80,000. The next lowest academic number is 200,000, and 500,000 seems to be closer to a general consensus.
These aren't just prevented deaths, of course. When a woman would have been overpowered by a large male rapist but fends him off with the use of a gun (even brandishing) that is considered a defensive gun use. It's not all just convenience-store return-fire people are talking about.
Anyway, the Obama dropped the issue because the numbers showed far more prevented violence than can be attributed to violence from uses of guns.
Additionally, you get to overthrow tyranny with an armed population, but I'm pretty sure that wasn't on the Obama agenda.
Why not? If you are spraying a crowd of 30,000 people at a concert with an automatic weapon (and listening to the video that's been released, he is using a fully automatic firearm of some type) from the 32nd floor of a hotel, how is that anything but terrorism?
Terrorism is seemingly random violence meant to further a political goal.
This is seemingly random violence but there's not [yet?] a clear political goal.
So you can't call it terrorism at the present time. Not every incidence of random violence is terrorism. They may be "terrifying" but that's not what the word means.
The recent legalization of silencers is kind of concerning as well. I'm surprised someone hasn't used any of those in a mass shooting yet-a couple silenced pistols in a loud venue means you can shoot for a lot longer before people notice what's going on.
So, you've never actually used a gun with a silencer? They don't go "PEW! PEW!" like in the movies. There is no way a pistol with a "silencer" would not be heard very distinctly in a large and crowded venue. The primary use of "silencers" is for hearing protection and to minimize impact on neighbors.
Please don't base public policy arguments on fictional works.
They bad mass murder too. It's just that psychopathic criminals don't pay attention to such things, so some of these things will always happen no matter what is banned.

Our third Subaru needed gaskets at 63,000. The one before at 105,000. The '98 went over 150,000 without needing any.
I'm driving a Honda now.

It might have been as much as $200,000!
