He says his only needs are to SSH to his main machine, and use a web browser. Of these, I would imagine SSH to be the main business critical app. I'm willing to be corrected, but I doubt Google will trawl or upload anything that he uses SSH for.
Please, not everyone in the UK talks/types like that!
Curious though, that the poster refers to the EU as "Eurotrash" and says " I can't wait for the EU to collapse", which, to me, doesn't really show much "basic human decency" itself!
Excepting standard Java objects, I would probably declare against an interface and instantiate using a setter. Makes unit testing of the calling class easier as you can mock out the object.
If I did declare and instantiate in the same statement, I would copy/paste the name anyway!
I know I'm a foreigner, but it is clear even to me that the EPA Science Advisory Board != The EPA.
As it states in the linked Scientific American article;
The board, which typically has about 45 members, is tasked by Congress to evaluate the science used by EPA to craft policy.
I can't comment on treating a 'farm drainage ditch be treated like a "navigable waterway"', as you don't cite any reference (and, as I say, I'm a foregner so if it is commonly cited in the US National News I wouldn't be aware of it), but if there is dodgy science behind it, then I would expect the Advisory Board to have an opinion (i.e. 'evaluate').
But then I suppose in a way you're correct when you say 'The EPA has had little to do with science in a long time.'. Well, at least six months according to the article!
I'm curious. As the summary quotes a biogeochemist, how exactly does hyper-leftist/Marxist biogeochemistry differ from (say) rightist/Conservative biogeochemistry?
Actually, if we want to go beyond biogeochemist, I would love to know how hyper-leftist/Marxist physics differs from rightist/Conservative physics, or if we really get down to basics, how hyper-leftist/Marxist mathematics differs from rightist/Conservative mathematics.
And is there a centrist biogeochemistry/physics/mathematics that differs to these two for those of us in the wishy-washy centre?
According to DistroWatch, Debian in #3 in page it rankings for the past 6 months. #4 is Ubuntu, based on Debian, and #1 is Mint, based on Debian and Ubuntu.
Dead? I think not.
Incidentally, #2 is Manjaro, based on Arch. Arch I believe also uses systemd, so I assume Manjaro does as well. The point being it's not just Debian using systemd (whatever you think of it).
Linux user here. I think the reason for lack of noise is because "it works". Rather like PCs or Smart Phones, for a lot of people, you upgrade when you need to, not when the latest version comes out.
I use Ubuntu 16.04 LTS as the main OS on my home PC (itself quite old). Both work. Both are adequate for what I use it for (I'm not a gamer). I've also used LibreOffice (and its predecessors) since it was StarOffice. Again, it works. Similarly for other tools in the Linux ecosystem. If I should need to use anything in the Windows ecosystem (there are still soem sites that insist on IE), then I've got a Windows 10 installation in VirtualBox to go to.
At work, although my work laptop is a windows machine, all the servers are Linux instances, so I use Linux there as well.
So I'm a committed Linux user, but if I don't seem enthusiastic, that's because, for me, it's normal.
Get them to work in a support team before allowing them to develop code from scratch. Having to maintain the mess that is other people's code will soon instil an abject horror of those things that should be avoided.
Now, cue the logic-free virtue signaling responses to me by PopeRatzo, serviscope_minor, AmiMoJo, GameboyRMH, Rei, turkeyfish, et al. who will be sorely butthurt by this fresh hot dose of reality.
At least they have the courage to log-in before posting.
I think what they are looking for specifically are images of Child Sexual Abuse. (Which is not pornography, it is abuse, which is why the police are involved).
Reading the articles it seems that the police are using the AI to search through the machines of _suspects_. This implies that they have custody of the suspect's physical machines.
The Cloud is your enemy. Fire anyone who offers a "cloud" solution before offering an in-house solution, because I can guarantee you that "cloud" services are only half as efficient as running the hardware in-house.
My company has it's own in-house 'cloud' infrastructure, used for internal and customer projects. I assume other companies have similar. I also assume that this is the way a lot of big companies will go.
It was a direct quote from the Newsweek article, which was presumably aimed at Newsweek readers rather than Slashot readers. Can't blame BeauHD for its inclusion in the original.
Of course, perhaps the summary could've been better edited, so as not to upset the sensibilities of certain Slashdot readers. However, then again, why would the editors (or the rest of us, for that matter) take into account the sensibilities of someone who (1) is an Anonymous Coward and (2) seems to be unable to communicate without an excessive number of "fuck"s and "fucking"s? Now, I'm no prude and don't really object to the occasional "fuck" in a post, especially if used well, but your post contains so many it quite spoils their intended effect!
Not quite. One recent (well, 1950s) counter example being the Mau Mau Uprising.
One quote from this article;
On 12 September 2015, the British government unveiled a Mau Mau memorial statue in Nairobi's Uhuru Park that it had funded "as a symbol of reconciliation between the British government, the Mau Mau, and all those who suffered". This followed a June 2013 decision by Britain to compensate more than 5,000 Kenyans it tortured and abused during the Mau Mau insurgency.

Couldn't you use your mobile phone as a Wi-Fi access point? I've done so in the past (on a moving train).
(It was a company mobile, and I was doing company business. Data plan not a problem!)
I'm not sure if this should be moderated "score:n, Informative" or "score:n, Funny"!
What's more, they see no contradiction when they (for instance) tell the EU to "go whistle"!
Please, not everyone in the UK talks/types like that!

there are some, very few, country domains that have such requirements

It's OK when the UK does it, but not when the EU does it, I suppose.

In other words, with an equivalent rule as for a
In addition to what others have said, the EU Parliament can vote out the commission. They also vote for who will be the head of the commission.
I was going to post exactly this. I can't see how this could possibly cause "tremendous loss to the U.S."!
Excepting standard Java objects, I would probably declare against an interface and instantiate using a setter. Makes unit testing of the calling class easier as you can mock out the object.

To be fair, they didn't. The exact title of that particular survey item is "Programming, Scripting, and Markup Languages".
I'm not sure what you're getting at here. OK, they're from the UK (but we're pretty similar to the US in outlook), but here are a couple of sites.
Firstly one mentioning a difference between the sexes:
https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/osteoporosis/causes/
And a couple making specific references to ethnic groups (and differences between them):
https://www.blood.co.uk/why-give-blood/the-need-for-blood/black-asian-and-minority-ethnic-communities/
https://www.blood.co.uk/why-give-blood/the-need-for-blood/rare-blood-types//
Would something like this be controversial in the States? Or did you have something else in mind perhaps?

As I said, just curious.
I moved from Mint XFCE DE when that was no longer a supported option. I moved to Ubuntu 16.04 (with Unity) and have found that to be stable.
I'll upgrade to 18.04 at some suitable point, either via an upgrade or via a fresh install. It'll be interesting how they move from Unity to Gnome.
Now that I've moved away from Mint, I must admit I'm not that fussed about using it again.

I couldn't see anywhere why this was restricted to the under 55s. *Retirement age is now 66+).
Which is a bit of a bummer as I find myself (ahem) ineligible!
