Aedes Egypti, the targeted mosquito, is not native to Florida and most places where it is found. This treatment targets this one species of mosquito. Florida and other places have their own native mosquito species. These species are not nearly as dangerous as Egypti. When we eradicate Aedes Egypti, the native mosquitos will take over the niches left and things would if anything be returned to their more natural state in these areas.
The species of mosquito that carries the virus is non native in Florida and most places it is found. The treatment targets one species. These places have their own native mosquitos that are more harmless, these mosquitos would fill any environmental niche.
Instead of this, why not just use the irradiated sterile mosquitos instead? Its been done before. When that is available and just as effective, why mess with something that is more complex.
I definitely fully agree. The whole thing is a scam and the democratic party is as corrupt as any other, totally infatuated with enriching itself, and basically doesnt care about the country one bit.
The idea that there is an IT worker shortage is a documented lie and that this is a fact. You have Tech giants who have billions and want billions more who want cheap low wage labor to increase their profit margin. The main way the democrats get elected is promising more welfare giveaways and free college. They may give lip service to jobs but as with anything its all verbiage designed to dupe an ignorant public who is supposed to believe the lies.
The fact is college debt issue would be far less critical if 1) STUPID and incompetent, greedy colleges and their staff would stop letting people take useless degrees such as Art History and Sociology and steer people into STEM programs 2) we would stop giving our jobs away to foreign aliens and thus depriving our own citizens of the jobs that they were promised when they began to study for their degree.
The fact is instead of blaming the police for crime it would be better if we had apprenticeship programs and better STEM career paths in inner cities and stop promoting policies that cause a deterioration of the family. What happens is these aimless youth without fathers or guidance go into gangs and through peer pressure and acceptance in the gang and the financial rewards, they have to attack innocent victims, and kill that part of them that tells them its wrong. Instead, the same little elite club that includes tech giants promoted through TV just a moral vacuum without good moral values and does little or nothing to promote traditional values which are proven adn documented to reduce crime.
Lets say if there was a shortage of workers, hypothetically, you could hit two birds with one stone, fixing the social and economic disaster in inner cities and poor community by getting Americans into the jobs that we have. This would give you a supply of labor while fixing the countries crime problem. All the DNC seems to know how to do is scapegoat the police and promise more welfare programs, while at the same time they are in bed with media giants which are actually a part of the social collapse and disarray in the US such as the high divorce rates, through the decline of moral examplar and positive images in the media.
The fact is the DNC would rather continue to let the inner cities in the US go to hell, because they want this, and instead bring in foreign aliens into the country to both steal jobs that should be for American Citizens and also drive down wages. The DNC knows that the inner city welfare population will vote for the DNC, because its who gives them welfare, not realizing the DNC gives them welfare. And the foreign alien votes DNC because the DNC helps them steal jobs from American citizens. So its a win win for the DNC, but horrible for the country. You end up having policies that continue to neglect inner cities and the poverty in the USA, so a bunch of greedy fascistic evil bastard Tech Giants can greedily bring in cheap foreign labor instead of investing in their own country.
Another evil aspect of the H1B is the fact it keeps third world countries poor while making the USA a third world country because of wage suppression. This is because it drains third world countries of the very high intellect high skilled workers those countries need to develop those countries technologically.
Also add on to all of this that the Tech Giants are born out of a culture in many parts of the country which sort of has a chip on its shoulder against America because of all of the indoctrination about how terrible the USA is, and apparently they have taken it very seriously, wanting to wreck and ruin the country. Thats why I saw H1B visas are punishment in order tp punish americans, even though most Americans dont have anything to do with slavery, as Ben Carson said, no one alive today is a slave or a slaveholder. Yet the grudge is there, and
macroeconomically it doesnt have to create new jobs. It can literally leave no jobs left to do, so any freed up consumer money basically just has no where to go. IF the jobs do not increase proportionally to demand, its true, i mean, if 0 jobs are being created by demand, its technically possible to have really no need for humans. As well, if consumers decide they have enough things, they will just stop buying so even money freed up by automation just wont be spent.
I think a good question is where do the increased profits go? If it goes to a lower cost product maybe it will create new jobs by freeing up more consumer money. If it goes to executives, it wont.
Another piece of advice, want this sugary stuff without supporting these big corps? Go to a locally run bakery and buy their pastries, if you still have them. They probably sell healthy products too perhaps.
Some compare this to embrace and extend. Some IE features such as XMLHTTPRequest that Microsoft added to the web actually made interactive web possible for things like messaging apps. Instead of balking at Microsoft's ideas, why not adopt them into open source projects? If microsoft had not adopted Web technology it would have instead made its own entirely proprietary protocol. I dont know, it sounds like its much easier to emulate a few Microsoft extensions to an open protocol than to try to emulate an entirely proprietary protocol. Why not emulate Microsofts extensions instead of just complain? Thats what doesnt make sense about the embrace extend argument, if they make entirely their own proprietary protocol, does that make things easier for you to support? It was a while before Linux could support additional filesystem permissions like inherited permissions and a seperate create and modify bit, does it today, even, features found in Windows for some time.
Fortunately much of Linux userland is under GPL so if Microsoft does make any change to a Linux userland tool, it would have to contribute it.
I am undecided on the effect this could cause. On one hand, it might make it easier for more people to get used to using Linux apps as a stepping stone to going with a Linux system. On the other hand, it allows people to get a Linux userland without the Linux kernel, perhaps reducing usage of the Linux kernel.
Instead of working with Microsoft. I think Canonical should be working with Dell, Lenovo, HP etc to get Linux to support more PC hardware adn get Linux installed as an alternative on off the shelf computers. These makers could also fund WINE and a Windows driver compatability layer for Linux, which would eventually payoff in freeing them from MS royalties.
Some google chrome features like multiproc and sandbox is worth copying. I agree the Chrome UI is crap and that the Firefox one is better. But yes, you seem to well understand their real funding priorities.
These people have so much money yet they cannot get multi-proc and sandbox to work. Tottally and utterly negligent. Really security features like this need to come first to protect the users. You would think they could also keep XUL for backward compatability, with more security and user control for security purposes
They cant do their own OS, it was too expensive and was damaging the company. When they can get the enormous android ecosystem for basically free, its a no brainer for them to join the android ecosystem. If they had done this years ago when everyone else did, they wouldnt be in the fix they are in. IT was the blackberry OS that was really doing in the company.
Tryinbg to do their own OS was killing the company. This was a major reason that they were getting nowhere. They cant benefit from the google app ecosystem. Too much inertia behind Android than to try to compete with it. When they can go android for free, it makes no sense to do their own OS. They could if they want do their own UI on android. A popout key board is a great idea which is what they should do, wont reduce the area for the screen since the keyboard pops out from the side.
Its unbelievable that they didnt move to Android years ago given they get app compatability with the enormous android ecosystem, for free. Trying to develop their own OS was insane. The company would be in better shape had it done this years ago. I think the min keyboard idea is also good, after using on screen keyboards, i cannot believe there is no demand for a physical one.
So much for Linux being "great for old hardware". This is really just an dubious move by distros and really just ignores a huge area where Linux can see use: Old hardware where Windows wont run. You also have another aspect of this which is your basically trashing 32 bit app support if you do not include 32 bit libraries, or, providing a thunk between 32 bit apps and 64 bit libraries.
Even if 32 bit libraries are not built, you should be able to run a 32 bit app by compiling the libraries yourself, so distros could at least allow people to build 32 bit libraries easily from source packages, (with the benefit of automatically building all dependancies).
Another area this will create problems is with VMs on even recent hardware, Intel chips up to just a year or two ago didnt include VT-x or a Ring 2, which means that virtualization of 64 bit OSs will not work.
It may because the decision in big corps involving more beauracracy rather than the tech people down in the trenche, who would prefer python or something
Companies that use.NET are not smart but we have a lot of dumb companies. Would be better to use an open source toolkit rather than to make oneself hostage of MS, but these kinds of decisions are made by execs rather than techies too often. Unfortunately NET is everywhere, doesnt mean its good to use it.
Running email servers as root and using root to install new programs (despite the installer only needing to modify a few files) isnt particularly smart either. Look at many Unix ways of doing things and its numb skulled.
AppArmor is a bit of a pain in the ass since it is mostly a whitelist thing, when it might be better to be able to do something more like IPCHAINS. Currently it creates an allow set and then subtracts the entire deny set from the allow set. What is really needed is an ideny or inline deny type rule for ascending or descending precedence of allow and deny rules. Sometimes you might want to alternate permit and deny permissions in descending or ascending precedence. Believe me, lacking this makes it much harder to use in many situations. AppArmor could do this by adding an inline deny or ideny rule rather than change the behaviour of the existing deny rule.
Of course you are right, but the PC lunatics here have to make sure the truth is covered up and censor what you say, even though it is true.Look at most any black country, they are totally fucked up disasters. They dont know how to run a damn thing. They didnt even invent peanut butter, it was invented by many white people before Carver. Even black "inventions" are frauds stolen from white people. All blacks can do is attack and destroy the work of better races and blame their own failures on other people.
Can anyone say zombie process? Its long been the case that if you kill a parent process, children get killed to. Unless, you demonize it with nohup. You can also disable the behaviour in systemd.
systemd is overall a good concept, and is not some monolith. Its a good idea to have the init system be a IPC standard using DBUS, the kernel creates system event messages on dbus, you can have an init daemon listen for these messages and have whatever logic you want in there, if you want to start a process when the network card goes up, you watch the dbus for a network card up message from the kernel, when recieving this you will start your process. When a process is started, that can be announced on dbus as well. The possibilies, modularity and decentralization and configurability of this model far exceeds that of the old system. Highly modularized and decentralized, even more so than the older init model. The old system V init is still supported, so if you dont like the new style, you can always set your services to start with a traditional sysV init script. So whats the problem?
I always thought child processes were killed when the parent was killed, anyway, unless it was deamonized with nohup. I dont know whats new here. The behaviour can be disabled, so if you dont like it, just disable it? Whats the big deal.
This isnt necessarily true. Sometimes, licensing can make software non transferable between computers. Some software might require online registration to work. Not that this is common but shows a possible problem. I would recommend staying away from proprietary software and instead building on open source solutions you have complete control over.
