I like how they claim "more than thirty years of combined development, network security and user interface experience" then show pictures of 32 people. So... about one year of experience each then?
These people are very good at breaking nerds like you who aren't well familiar with concept of pain.
Sufficient torture will break anybody at all. Resisting torture isn't about tolerating pain, it's about committing to the logic of the situation. Nerds who can do the math have an advantage there.
If you bother to read the anti-systemd trolls (yes, I admit it is boring) you'll find they're full of anti-SJW rants and other lunacy.
Trolls be trollin'? You don't say!
Trolls, by definition, will spout whatever lunacy gets you to overreact. If you hate Trump, they're Trump supporters. If you hate strawberry ice cream, they're strawberry ice cream supporters. If you like systemd, they'll shit all over it.
What interest are you "earning" on your debit account? If you pay the full balance on a credit card every month there is no interest charge. Banks are currently paying infintessimal interest on deposits, so credit vs debit is a wash.
It's the outgoing Governor General who is the computer engineer with a commercial pilot license, not the astronaut.
FTFA: A computer engineer with a commercial pilot licence, Payette was picked from among 5,330 applicants in 1992 to be one of four new astronauts with the Canadian Space Agency (CSA).
You may or may not have tried very hard at life, but you sure don't try hard at reading comprehension.
The vast majority of people are such terrible dirvers that even the hyper-aggressive idiots who try to make merging difficult can't keep up with a Prius driven by somebody competent. Get some real driver training (all day closed course instruction and practice) and you'll have no trouble keeping up, even in a "slow" car at half throttle.
In some jurisdictions having 100% of your income from capital sources can be enough to suspect criminal behaviour (because the state just can't understand how someone doesn't have a 9-5 job that pays a regular salary).
The state doesn't understand retirement or trust funds? Can you name one of these alleged jurisdictions?
This whole conversation has been going back to the mid 2000s when Intel released their quad core CPU that was really two different dies glued together.
The 1995 Pentium Pro was two chips (core and cache) in one package. They called it a Multi-Chip Module.
I don't trust any Internet connection. So "free public wifi" is as good as any other. Seriously, do you trust your home ISP not to fuck with your packets? That'd be pretty naive.

Of course meat consumption is natural, or have you managed to change the dietary habits of some of the planet's apex predators?
Murder and rape are natural. Science and engineering are unnatural.
I believe we can aspire to something better than raw, brutish nature.
Hugo Award winning novel The Left Hand of Magic has... magic.
Similarly, Hugo Award winning novel The Left Hand of Brainfart has ... brainfart.

Fuel cost alone is EV=0.03 cents per mile
That seems unlikely. $0.0003 per mile?

That's a very dangerous game for "the 1%". Consider the bottom 1% of the top 1% -- which class are they in?
Everybody who's not at the absolute top has to worry that the "us vs them" cutoff will be (or eventually become) "somewhere above me".
(Assuming full automation of all labor, so "the 99%" aren't necessary at all.)

That's how they roll. For teh lulz.

Never mind, I misread that one. You do want the total number of expected events, not the expectation of at least one event. Carry on!
"... 80 * 0.001 ..."
That's not how probability works.
Imagine you flip a coin twice. Probability of "heads-up":
50% * 2 = 100%
See how wrong that is?
What you want instead is:
1 - (1 - 0.001)^80

Making effort to not be persuaded by status symbols is a laudable goal, but it shows lack of self-awareness if you believe you are above such things.
You sound like the religious people who think I have to "make an effort to not be persuaded by" the bible or other such nonsense.

Clinton wasn't president in 1992.
There's a TV show in Britain called http: //www.bbc.co.uk /food /programmes /b0520lz9 .
They call the program "b0520lz9"?
People will keep saying this until it does work in high % of total generation, and then they'll find something else to complain about.
At that point they will suddenly have been pro-solar all along.

Those hyphens should be spaces. The verb preposition construction always has a space separator when used as a verb.

Somebody is confused. Four or more killed makes a mass murder.
Censoring dissent on Twitter is going to change that.
Really? It's that simple?
