> Believe me, if Case or any other competitors thought that farmers would actually be willing to pay higher prices for equipment without the restrictions on right to repair, they would have already jumped on it on long time ago
If I may say, this is an incomplete analysis. If a company could steal property, sabotage competitors, and advertise fraudulently, by this competitive standard, they would. They don't partly because it becomes evident, partly because many employees would object, and partly because there are strong regulations against it. Raw profitability is rarely the full reasons not to do something in the business world.
In this case, it's consumer protection laws and working relationships with repair centers that encourage companies to make repair tools and tuning tools available. But the repair and maintenance costs are tremendous. And keeping the repair data proprietary or keeping it a trade secret has often been ruled or legislated as illegal, since the purchaser cannot apply their full ownership and privileges to control their own equipment without that data.
They've been difficult to maintain, partly because systemd is now also replacing syslog and publishing logs in a binary, distinct format from the more easily read flat text formats.
I've had that discussion, many times. "No one is interested in us", "The email is internal", and "They won't get it any other way". The prize foolishness was the head of security who insisted on sending user's login passwords, in plain text email, so that he would have a copy and be able to test it if they reported problems, set no expiration policy for these new passwords, and set no "must change password on first use" policy. The result was that obsolete email set to people who were still employed but never used that password, such as contractors with their own offsite systems, had permanently vulnerable in plain text on the email system for more than 15 years that I measured.
Steam runs much better with Windows as the native operating system. So do other resource intensive applications. And on a laptop, especially, sacrificing a few Gig of RAM to run the hypervisor and X Windows and running Windows inside the VM is sacrificing those resources to the virtualization layer. It's why, given the choices, I will normally equip a laptop as a Windows host and run Linux as the virtual machine, using an SSH client to access the Linux host to get cut and paste operations to work best.
Unless they caollapse first, or encounter a Dotcom bubble, or an excessive number of baby boomers, or any of a dozen other factors overwhelming the economic trend. I'm afraid that the Libertatian ideals of the "the market will decide" is often overwhelmed by more powerful, temporary forces.
Pardon me, but what results? The analyses using the forged MRI images has not yet been done as best I can read the original article. There are no results yet to analyze or dismiss.

From a great deal of life experience, I have to say "no". There are many paths of self-improvement that are beneficial. There are also many that are outright frauds: the victims of the Jonestown massacre and many suicide bombers are unfortunate proof of that. And there are many that are simply self-indulgent, wasting time and money better spent elsewhere.
CAn you name even one competent kernel developer who was went elsewhere and contributed any significant work? I'm not saying they do not exist. I'm curious to know if you can identify them specifically, rather than from your personal impression of how technical leadership works.
That's according to Eric. S. Raymond, in his blog post "http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=6907" titled "From kafkatrap to honeytrap".
It was covered previously on Slashdot when written. I'm afraid someone is already speculating that Linus is stepping back as the result of a successful feminist honeytrap used on him.
Many grade schools and high schools are now assigning homework via website, with papers uploaded rather than handwritten or typed out. A decent computer with enough screen size to see the whole page can make a real difference to composing longer text: I've helped several students in the last year turn their monitors to make the long dimension vertical, but that's impossible to do with just a laptop and no separate keyboard or monitor.
Use flat text, or perhaps a simple "markdown" language. I've been avoiding MS Office formats for some time: they encourage spending far too much time on tuning a font size or colors, rather then on writing or organizing the ideas being expressed.
Running those "simple statistical techniques" is technologically feasible. Is it feasible fiscally? How much does it cost to run this analysis? Is this going to become more difficult and complex to detect as the doctoring tools improve?
Prosecutors are _not_ happy to have to spend more time and effort validating evidence. Neither are defense attorneys. It costs time and effort.
Many but not all states require some backup power system. Many gas stations in the USA are quite small businesses, franchises, that run on very narrow margins. Maintaining and testing such a system to be able to rely on it for extended systems can be difficult.
I've recently had discussions with several business partners about what genuine "high availability" means, and walking with them through the risks of single points of failure, versus the risks of the complex and often confusing systems required to _avoid_ those single points of failure. I'm afraid that it's quite common to build almost all of the emergency or failover infrastructure, and leave out one small aspect. One of my favorite such mistakes is switches that have dual power supplies, for which both supplies are plugged into the same battery power supply. Another is where computers support dual network ports, and both are plugged into the same network switch.
Except that most modern manuals _don't_ tell you details. That requires a repair manual or the debugging manual, which is rarely available to consumers.
The picture is to provide, and allow recruiters to review, information they cannot legally ask for. Age, gender, grooming, and race can can all help with gathering interview requests or gathering candidate requests.
I'm afraid you sound like someone whose never had a good set of financial backstops, such as parents who can cover emergencies. For many Uber and Lyft drivers, they're immigrants who can't yet find work, single parents who can spare hours away from their children and needing income and an outside life, recent graduates squeaking by and already over-extended on loans or credit cards. Many of them are struggling, and that few hundreds dollars of _profit_ per week makes a very real difference. Investing the gas and the time and the car maintenance without a return-on-investment can mean trouble paying for rent, utilities, or food bills.
Given the poor quality, and the lack of provenance or ability to verify a chain of custody, of most video and audio evidence, it's not certain at all that more sophisticated doctoring will be apparent. An analyst with good tools can often deduce a great deal about the recording tools and the details of the original recording. But it takes time and effort that is often not of interest to a prosecutor.
> I don't know what Google could do differently to help the cause of human rights in China. I don't see how staying out of the Chinese market could make things worse.
In a world of corporate cunning, they could publicly release the censorware and quietly release the workaround to get past the censorware.
Coupled with the number of cheaters on Overwatch, and the way they can poison play for paying customers, and it's not a surprise if there is a mistake.
Anxiety attacks are not best treated by pure avoidance. Like phobias, they're best dealt with by acclimation. That can be difficult, but it's a far more effective treatment of a troublesome and sometimes dangerous disorder.

There's a noticeable slowdown when you stress the graphics card with intense rendering or even bitcoin mining.

Some of us actually know about neural networks and the dangers of doing meta-analysis on top of meta-analysis, without more original data.
Please do not mistake courtesy for respect. Also, realize that _disrespect_ can also be earned.
When someone has been working hard, a vacation and an opportunity to "recreate and recover" can be invaluable.
