Of course they know, are you really that arrogant?!? No probably just spreading misinformation for whatever reason. Read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., continents have moved between 250km and 70km from todays position.
Maybe we should just remove the commercial incentives of social media to generate clicks, i.e. remove advertising from society.
IMHO, advertising is like paying for disinformation and lies with your time and money, since all advertisement is paid for by the profit margins of companies, i.e. everyone buing products, even when never watching advertisements. It is like a horrobiel tax on top of everything, that spreads lies and hatred.
Yes I know it is incredible, but people that regard life as a game, and need to "win" without any regards for the common good, really exist. Some are even rulers or presidents.
I don't think such a balanced picture is justified. The right, at the moment, are much more aggressive and breaking the rules to their own (short-term) advantage. I guess they hope to remain in power indefinately, by committing a slow coup. It certainly feels like that, with all the bending of rules, inciting aggression, hate and conflict, and gerrymandering going on.
Yes the left have done some of these too at a smaller scale, but the scales are not comparable. People should not try to be balanced, so hard, but insist that one side of the currently polarized climate is much much more to blame than the other side. Everything else is a capitulation, and an injustice.
From 1999 till 2017 I've worked in environments that were almost 100% java (large banks in europe). Now I work in a more industrial environment, and its all c++ and python here. It really depends on your context. You should not think your personal perspective tells the whole story.
On my system, I get automatic openjdk updates as part of std. OS updates. It is not running windows however. Microsoft however came up with.NET in an attempt to kill off java, which back then was a means to push its operating system. They did not succeed with the latter.
Yes he is a thieve and deserves a punishment. 10 years however is insane. It may fit with the other extremely harsh sentencing culture in the US, but that doesn't make it right. In the Netherlands, he would get 1 year, at most. Yet the crime rate is much lower, the prisons are emtpy, and the whole prison system is much cheaper and mainly directed towards rehabilitation. A system that locks away people for so long is sick IMHO.
If you read the quoted article form politfact.com really, you'll see it is not so clear:
Rated "mostly true", however it is hotly debated in Israel in howfar the 90% reduction (not 99%) is due to the fence or due to other factors.
A fence/wall is told to be only effective "on a small scale and with many guards". The situation on the US-Mexican border is found to be completely different from the Isaeli southern border, no conclusions can be drawn from this to the effectivity of a fence or border on the 2000 mile long US-Mexican border.
Maybe, but how is the unilateral US any better? They quit the nuclear agreement with Iran, against the opinion and will of all of its "allies" including Canada. Now Canada is helping the US in intimidating the world to get its way w.r.t. Iran, and Canada is an accomplice by collaborating the the extradition. I hope, as much as I dislike China and some of its practices, that Canada will pay be severe price for this, and the USA former allies will finally come to reason and quit helping the US against their own interests.
The result will be that more and more people, when using "hug" in the normal way, will associate it with todays use of the f-word. So they will seek and find a replacement, use a synonym, when really wanting to express "hug".
It is a pointless excercise, only making the language a bit poorer or distorted.
It would be best if there were no dominating system at all, and everyone would stick to (open) standards.
When windows was dominant (on the sum of all devices), they could subvert standards and lock out other systems. If this would have continued, I bet windows (IE) might have been a requirement to watch Netflix. Luckily, the threat of Linux (and Mac) alone have been enough to prevent this. Of course there have been multiple factors to prevent this horror scenario, including concerns from politics in various nations.
Therefore I think, if you don't care at all as long as "it works for me", you might sooner or later be limited in your options.
that looked and acted just like me, I sent it to me job and go on permanent vacation instead. Would that be ok? I.e., who shall reap the benefits of automation? The population at large or the owners of companies? I think soon, automation and our current economic and political system won't fit together anymore.
It suggests that everything harmful is banned, I.e. everything not banned is not...
People, including. parents and teachers educating and raising children, should take their own responsibility. Teens should start with taking responsibility for their own future and health as they grow older. Trusting the government to ban all harmful things is hopeless and counterproductive.
Then it is time to take certain sectors out of the commercial realm. Clearly the market is dysfunctional here. Healthcare should not be commercial. States should find innovation just like much of high energy physics is not commercially funded. Mere production, free of intellectual property, can be left to the industry.
Yes they seem to have a kind of deal. They tolerate Trump because he brings their extremely conservative agenda forwards, and pushes it down the throats of many that do not want it. Without such undemocratic tricks, the conservatives would never be able to do this.
We could provide stupid and sensless jobs, but that would only be cruel and have no use.
People will have to deal with the fact that they have much free time and nothing important to do, such as develop a personal philosphy to deal with life. Find a purpose outside of work and being "useful". It isn't easy, but there is no alternative.
I can't stand paternalistic politicians that keep telling that we need full employment, otherwise people don't know how to spend their time and start behaving destructively. It all starts with eductation, mainly before the age of 8... We have to prepare our children for a much different future, as the first generation that won't have to struggle for survival, will soon be here.
Unless climate change and other self-made disasters bring down civilization, then it is back to normal for mankind (or extinction).
More and more sites friendly ask you to disable your ad-blocker because it is their only way of funding.
I usually send them an angry message explaining why I block ads, I think such sites are complicit to spying on my and putting my computer security at risk.

they are transparent, unlike some fake democracies that are dominated by advertisements and money.

A democracy without referenda, and without any cap on funding, which is not even transparent, is no real democracy.

I'd assume the RNC let themselves be hacked, just to make a point. Such as the one you just made.

But ZFS on Linux is working quite well too. In fact it is slightly newer, the version which includes experimental encryption support.
FreeBSD 12 might have caught up, though the release notes didn't mention any new features so I suspect the ZFS version has not changed.
Word police cannot change the way people think.

3.7 is not backwards compatible to 3.6, for example. Last week I had to downgrade...
We're going to move parts of our python code to go.
works for me

Also it is less prone to favouritism and misuse of power.

Lets hope that Trump will be a learning experience for many stupid people.
we cannot provide meaningful jobs to people.
