Look at Fedora, the distro.
They produce upgrades too often while neglecting support on the existing version.
Their choices are poor: a few KBs in scripts are too hard too maintain versus megabytes in coded in C and thus packages are without support.
Also 'supported' packages do not have support: it can take a long time, even until bugzilla closes your bug due your Fedora version being too old, before something happens.
Yes, I know it is al volunteer effort, etc, but still...
Kids belong in school.
Kids do not understand it all.
Kids have to learn.
Kids need to be reminded by the authorities, and prosecuted if necessary, to be in school.
The latter does not happen, at least it is not reported in the news I saw.
The idea that we can, in a few years, undo the effects of mankind's activities w.r.t. fossil fuels for over a century is ridiculous.
The idea that this activity plays a great part in 'climate change' aka 'global warming' is debatable: look at the sun.
How much more power does it send in our direction?
Did you count the sun spots?
So I buy a dozen-stop flight around the world at obviously a reduced price.
Then I get off at the first city we land at.
I paid plenty, the plane is lighter.
The plane for the final leg was lighter due to the passenger not actually flying.
This saved some fuel.
What is the problem for the airline? (other people accused the pricing system)
As if the problem, bug or crash goes away with all the newspeak.
If Apple would invest these resources in some programmers.... (a.k.a. developers! developers! developers! (remember that one?))
Why in the world would one need a checkout-free store at an airport?
Either you prepare accordingly and arrive at the airport with all stuff you need and you just shop to pass some time until your flight is due.
Or you simply run out to the airport and shop for whatever you forgot?
Which approach would be cheaper?
Or how do USSAsians fly?
As this EMV technology (protocol) is also used by ING bank (and perhaps others) for their implementations of contactless payments ('contactloos betalen') I wonder what implications this article brings to ING's case.
Anybody who can share their insights here?
Actual text of the proposal is at https://www.rijksoverheid.nl/b...
ARTIKEL I
Het Reglement verkeersregels en verkeerstekens 1990 wordt als volgt gewijzigd:
Artikel 61a komt te luiden:
Het is degene die een voertuig bestuurt verboden tijdens het rijden een mobiel
elektronisch apparaat dat gebruikt kan worden voor communicatie of
informatieverwerking vast te houden. Onder een mobiel elektronisch apparaat wordt in
elk geval verstaan een mobiele telefoon, een tabletcomputer of een mediaspeler.
ARTIKEL II
Dit besluit treedt in werking met ingang van 1 juli 2019.
Lasten en bevelen dat dit besluit met de daarbij behorende nota van toelichting in het
Staatsblad zal worden geplaatst.
I.e.: they ban the handholding of an electronic device that can be used for communication or data processing. They mean as such at least a mobile phone, a tablet computer or a media player.
But what about a boombox? Electronic in nature, can receive radio. And does not have to be powered on.
Could be illegal due to this proposed law...
This 'proposal' to do something else is very WEAK indeed.
Anxiety is there to get over.
If they never try to conquer their fears they never will get over their fears and then they stay weaklings.
I myself conquered a slight fear of heights by going paragliding:
First on the winch (we are in the Netherlands).
Try not to look down when grabbing the rope to release teh glider from the winch.:-)
Later elsewhere in the mountains.
Heights up to 1600 meters.
Nothing extreme but a difference from a few hundred meters at home.
Now I got more comfortable doing that sport.
Will these millennials eventually understand things the same way?
> As soon as you avoid buying a beer for BTC because you think you will get more for your coins later, it stops being a currency. It becomes a speculation, and by now it's tulip time.
That is only a temporary phase.
Once price adjustment is over, near 100K USD or so, things might change.
Or will we go to 1M USD? (I prefer €)
"will depend primarily on the amount of greenhouse gases (especially carbon dioxide) emitted globally."
NOT saying 'by humans'.
Also: it does not say humans emit the greater part of all CO2.
Nor does it explain the CO2 lagging a temperature rise.
That is thus a weak `scientific` report if the news article holds the core info.
`Those trending fake videos` shows what interest the receiver has in notifications.
They are not critically reviewing any news they get, they want to be soothed into a sleep.
This means that they have no right to dismiss credible evidence.
Please check other causes of death.
The numbers mentioned here for diesel cars are nowhere near those.
Also the study fails to mention the benefits of diesel cars that outweigh insignificant death numbers.
5000 in Europe, that is over 742 million people or so. (see wikipedia)
With how many dieing from other things? smoking? bad diets? falling down the stairs? pills abuse? alcohol? cancer?
You get the idea.

Why should building cities be a UN thing?
Don't they know about them sunspots and their relationship to the power that the sun sends to us?
Buy US gear because then the US can use them backdoors in there.
Chinese gear has no US-compatible backdoors.
This 'feature' really makes me want to buy a new car...

The main fear is that Chinese equipment lacks NSA backdoors.

US is wanting the Huawei executive for sanctions evasion.
Fakebook's purpose is to censor all it can.
This means that what remains after censorship is propaganda.

For most non-Americans:
What is this business of credit monitoring and why is it needed?

What's the deal with the GPS subsystem that was mentioned for 4.19?
What can this subsystem do and why does it have to be in the kernel?
And yes, I buy AMD where I can.
One does NOT go to a store that does not take cash.
You did not pay attention.
The pool of unconfirmed transactions is quite low and fees are lower because of that.
And do you know where your BTC is?
AKA: will you have 'money' during (and after) an unexpected bank holiday?
If you spread your risks you will have.
Slasdotted as cs.vu.nl appears, do we have a mirror?
