Not in narrow scope, but the broader idea of keeping valuable and useful people out of a country is part of the same fear-driven dysfunction.
I know, the idea that individuals who have something to contribute should be let in and individuals who want to participate in crime directly or indirectly (welfare) should be kept out is too radical for most politicos to handle.
In every democracy, people vote to give other people power to give them what they think is free shit. People being people, they sell that power instead to the highest bidder, because those people in power want free shit. The corporations and special interests buy that power because they want free shit.
Eventually everything ends in fire and the cycle repeats itself, as long as nobody learns their history lessons.
Hey, now - this was back when/. was being actively developed. We have Katz to thank for the "no stories by this submitter" filter. It's come in every so handy in the subsequent years.
Anybody who has built a cabinet from big-box plywood knows that you cannot go by what is on the label, even if it's specified in 32nds of an inch. They lie. You have to measure the plywood thickness yourself or else your shelves are going to rattle around in your dados.
I had a friend who had the Disney pack with their theme songs. My home line has piano jazz instead of the 4/2 rings (via VoIP provider's call queue feature). It reduces robocalls.
Without the threat of regulation Coinbase would just be an exchange, like every other non-judgmental currency exchange in the world, and I'm sure they'd much rather not do this extra work.
But, in the real world, they're a US company in the crosshairs of the Federal Reserve and if they are already not feeding all of their data to the NSA (in which case they might actually be looking to protect customers) then they're at risk of that happening any time now.
Perhaps the thing that Amazon is trying to do is getting the foodstamps from their employees, They see them getting all that free monies and they want that.
For their employees. Many times when people get a job at Walmart they are given food stamp and welfare forms during orientation.
These programs are a direct subsidy to these corporations, so they do not have to pay their employees a living wage.
Yeah, that's mostly what I see. I get that some people don't want a C application running their init system and would rather have shell scripts. That's fine.
I run a couple dozen unique instances with systemd and I don't see the problems that they keep saying are inherent. I can't claim that nobody hits them, but I don't and I enjoy fast/parallel boot times. It's especially useful with complex storage stacks and virtualization when there are multiple levels of dependencies.
The complainers seem to ignore the fact that there are millions of systemd-based systems in production and then claim that they can''t work. Ignoring reality is a great way to get me to tune out really quick.
Isn't mutual respect a necessary component of a working libertarian system?
The market will either reward or punish their actions based on what people really think of its value. It's as close to the "true democracy" that most people who want it are ever going to get.
I know, some people want "true democracy" so they can vote away the property of others, but most people just want to have a sense of input to outcomes (which most voters don't actually have now).
Aside from that, I don't see how this business model works with end-to-end authentication. Netflix stopped working on rooted phones, so it's not an issue for me any more (there's my market input to Netflix's decision).
I'm always happy to see redundant legislation go away, but don't get grand delusions that this is Trump somehow removing burdens and making the government magically super efficient.
Seven of the more than 50 paperwork requirements the White House eliminated on Thursday dealt with the Y2K bug, according to a memo OMB released. Officials at the agency estimate the changes could save tens of thousands of man-hours across the federal government.
The journey of a thousand miles and all. It's clear that this is different than previous administrations. I can maybe even see the beginning of GWB's second term being not terrible for any lingering Y2K issues that might have still been around, but by 2012, all of these rules should have been rescinded.
Will this go far enough? That remains to be seen but a strategy that goes far enough would look like this in the beginning.
Or would the court find another convoluted reasoning to end up with a judgment they want?
The question is "what legal reasoning can we proffer that will result in more revenue for the media corporations?". The specific judgements will depend on the circumstances.
Yeah, the new G4 Plus is pretty much all the phone that 95% of the population needs. $170 with a 5Ah battery and a quad core processor.
I've got the Moto X Pure, dual-SIM, microSD, unlockable bootloader, LineageOS support, 4MB/64GB and it was under $300. My friends who have the Pixel get a similar experience for twice the money, but I have more local storage.
I tried replacing a MicroUSB port on my previous phone, and, well, 'user serviceable' wasn't on the tin. If they're going to be semi-disposable they can't be much over $300. A repair job on a high-end phone costs more than a G4+ does out of the box, so only really niche users should spend that kind of money.
Also, considering that Ryzen is decent and currently at 14nm while Global just announced the start of the 7nm production line as well as a 5nm test line, there are going to be some very nice, very affordable AMD laptops coming down the pike probably in time for next year's corporate product refresh.
Intel should be worried it has competition again. They are going to have to compete on price, which they really, really hate to do.
I don't understand your reasoning. How does that strategy enrich the police union, the prison guard union, the owners of private prisons, fund black-ops programs or impose arbitrary authority on people to make sure they know who their masters are?
That sounds more like the Portugal solution and they saw a 95% drop in drug crime, so this plan of yours sounds really bad for a lot of people. Are you against good American jobs?
Frankly, any non-compete that does not involve severance pay for the duration of the non-compete should be illegal. It doesn't have to include benefits or bonuses, but it should be the same salary.
Should this apply to top executives as well?
"I will pay you $3M per year, under the condition that you don't quit and work for a competitor" does not seem entirely unreasonable.

Oh .. you mean 54 degrees .. like was mentioned in TFA
That's 327 K, you backwards Luddite. "Degrees" - what is this, the Dark Ages?
Seriously - he should publish some dirt on some banksters and then he'll get a free private flight from Sweden to the US on an unmarked white jet.

they're working less hours. They got a $5/hr raise. No $hi1 they're working less hours. Hours worked != Quality of Life. Who knew?
The stated purpose was to raise wages, not "quality of life".
But who knew the supply of labor was also subject to demand curves and the price mechanism?
Hey, now, it's complete bullshit that telesurgery users can buy priority transit. My cat videos are just as goddamn important.
How did they not get a promotion?

I've always wondered if folks like Alex Jones were psyops.
Yes, but I recently saw an article that said a judge wouldn't believe him and he lost his kids anyway.
Don't work for the CIA if you want to have kids someday.

I can get a Quarter Pounder and a chocolate shake for a dollar now, right?
A 1970 dollar, absolutely.

Is AMD assigning engineers to help port stuff that has gone Intel-only in the years that AMD failed to compete in the server space?
I'm thinking of some of the newer Xen features, codec assembly, etc. If we have to wait a year to try Ryzen they may have missed their opportunity.

unless they want to get regulated...

In other words, parotted bullshit, no reasons.

Sure, if you sell your soul to the devil you can make a ton of money working for the Banksters or the Military Industrial Complex.

How many fewer ad views would the story have gotten without that bit of technical nonsense? Why does /. exist?

For a programmer making $65K, maybe so.
