I get a kick of millennials that invest in cryptocurrency.
I guess it's time to learn.
Because only millennials make poor money decisions? Because only block chain businesses fail? Or did you just block Enron from your mind? Bernie Madoff? Charles Ponzi?
We can start back in the 50s and 60s when the big fear was global cooling. There were even project on the feasibility of launching large mirrors to the Lagrange points to collect more sunlight to send to the earth. Well, that changed...
Then there is the multi foot sea level rise that started pushing in the 70s but really kicked off in the 80s. Also never happened.
How about the "tipping points" we were supposed to hit in 1990, 1990, 2005, 2010, and 2015. We have another one in 2020 we will also not hit.
Also, by about the same dates as the tipping points above, we were supposed to lose the polar ice cap. Also never happened.
This is the problem with literate people over 40. We remember reading the stuff.
I live in Houston. I watched the "models" for Harvey. I saw the mass of spaghetti squirm and shift daily, and even hourly. So, no, I do not blindly trust the models.
People under 50 get their news on the cellphone, and whether that's the Facebook or Twitter or updates, the share of news influenced by old school local news & dead tree papers is bordering on insignificant.
People over 50 as well. I do not know anyone who reads an actual "paper" anymore.
Ubuntu Server stopped offering 32 bit ISOs years ago. At least they did last I checked in 2015.
They want to cite declining market share, but how are they polling that? Embedded systems and some types of servers aren't likely to be browsing the web, for example.
Funny. I have a Ubuntu 17.05 32bit server image right now. But as to how they poll... Look at the package popcon, and then it is what is pulled from the repositories.
This is exactly the reason SmallWall and t1n1wall were formed. www.smallwall.org for something that still does 32bit. OPNsense is even fatter then pfSense.
Fair point. Note that some of these old terms do have GPIO, however. But yes, I was mainly talking about purpose build Linux appliances on a Pi. (Like PiHole and so on...)
I can see that. But I specified that "I" was not looking, so it is a Schrodinger system. Until they have a problem to pay me for it is both up and down.:)
Slashdot Mirror
Because when most startups failed, that stopped venture capitalism...
I guess the money went in to ether :-)

No, I am using an example of a time when many people were actively watching the weather models to illustrate how imprecise they are.
Those few freezes have disappeared. That's my point.
Since 2004 when Galveston got 4 inches of snow? Or last winter when half my neighborhood "lost water" then the pipe froze?
They have been wrong for the last 20 and it didn't falsify it then...

Or a ground source heat pump.
Is Ruby passed it's prime yet? Please?

It seems fairly consistent right now...
Ha! I have 3 digits twice! ( And that is considered low now! )
Lol! Fair point!
Cattle prods, loading skiffs... But with Houston as well, probably a gun nut. ;)
We all know you're not working at Equifax. But do they pay well?
No, but my credit report looks fantastic! Now...
There's nothing more uncommon about common sense.
Apparently, acceptable grammar is quite rare as well.
I guess he never takes sick days or vacation...
What do the other 224 do?
Apparently, not watch that one guy...
Suspect I will. Also have to set up an apt-cache...
I guess they felt that since marginal hardware would not support unity... ;)

Why won't you trust me???
Because you have a 7 digit ID. If you had a 6 digit ID, I probably would. ;)
