Confirming your email address isn't the real reason they do this. Facebook mines the metadata from the headers of all your emails to see who you communicate with and how often. LinkedIn does this too, adding people to your timeline that are not connected to you, but listed as "Your contact, so and so...". I get these in my stream from LinkedIn because OTHER people who I have communicated with in the past, for mundane reasons, gave LinkedIn their email account and password...usually it's real estate agents that do this.
What you're doing is giving Facebook and LinkedIn a vast treasure trove of data points and interconnected webs of data that exceed what you alone would give them. Think of all the emails you get that are group in nature, now they can connect the other people together without ever seeing any of them directly.
As people age, their salary expectations increase, but often their skills don't.
If they were really as valuable as they think they are, then some enterprising company should be able to hire them all and out-compete the companies staffed by younglings. Obviously, that isn't happening.
Most people don't get old and wise. They just get old.
Said the guy who's under 40. What you don't realize is that with age comes perspective. What you think is some great hot idea, an experienced guy can tell you why it's a bad idea and poke holes in the concept.
I didn't even get in on Slashdot when it was fresh, yet my user ID should tell you how old I am.
This kind of crap is why AT&T was broken up in the first place! I'm happy that I'm not one of their customers, but I feel bad for all those people who are.
Between their abusive policies, lack of investment in infrastructure (coverage sucks in anything but metro areas), and their discontinuations of services (No Satellite for You!), they are batting a million!
There are large swathes of the country that do not have access to broadband sufficient to replace their Satellite TV, so I guess that'll leave Hughes to pick up the pieces!
I told someone that I'm predicting Linus will release some custom AI he wrote during the break.
He got tired of version control and went off an wrote Git, so what's the chance he went off and wrote some filtering software that intelligently replaces phrases with grammatically correct (and PC/SJW compliant) phrases?
He hinted at this before his absence, so I'm gonna bet he installed a "circuit breaker" that prevents tirades from leaving his mailbox.
Improvised firearms are simple to make with little skill, see the Royal Nonesuch YouTube channel for proof.
The blueprints for the Colt AR-15 have been available on the internet for years, it's just that taking those and producing an actual firearm has been difficult.
I'm not so sure it's about the proliferation of firearms as much as it is an effort to control our society by denying them access to information. It has been proven time and again that ne'er do wells *DO* obtain firearms illegally.
Create DNS entries in your ISP DNS server that blackholes anything that resolves to Cloudflare. Some ISPs have a far reaching grasp, and Google operates a widely used public DNS server 8.8.8.8.
This hearkens back to the mid-late 90's when Spamford Wallace was being courted by one sleazebag ISP after another. As long as he paid them handsomely, they would ignore abuse complaints. Until the blacklists came about. Someone suggested yesterday about resurrecting the Usenet Death Penalty for Cloudflare, because of their blatant protection for sleazy companies (they were talking about the company that is serving malicious ads on Slashot, that do a full page overlay and redirect you to a scam site, of which it's particularly invasive on a mobile device).
I was a Junior in high school, the year was 1993. 2 of Borland's Tech Support representatives in the C++ group, Jeff Peters and Tom Orci, offered to run a class on C programming for a few interested high school students. We would go to Borland after school on Wednesday (IIRC) evenings and they would teach a class on C programming.
Well, back in the day, the tech support department was a fertile ground for software hacking of all types and they were a Beta site for id's DOOM. I remember sitting down and playing 4 player IPX networked DOOM, it was so scary and amazing!
One of the guys there was actually hacking together a map editor while it was in Beta, he reverse engineered the WAD format and built the first viable 3rd party map editor for DOOM.
I recall those Wednesday evenings with great fondness, I made several good friendships that lasted for years after that, I learned how to program in C on DOS with Turbo C++, and the experience cemented my path in life, giving me skills and a vision of what I wanted to do. Now, almost 23 years later, I owe much of my success to those early formative years in high school.
Init 1 instead of init q, that was always my favorite line that someone used to run on the main server, far too often as it turns out. On a Sun box that requires serial terminal to type "go", to recover from.
It sounded to me like they were using APRS for the comms, which would match up nicely to the 155mhz business frequency the school uses. The problem is that they used the single allocated channel for both voice and data traffic.
It sounds like the Amiga is part of a control system that was replaced in the 80's, I would imagine that they are replacing the control system once again, including actuators. $2mn isn't enough to replace all the HVAC stuff in 19 schools.
I know a Walnut grower and an Almond grower, this whole concept is a load of shite!
You can't just whimsically decide not to grow Walnuts or Almonds because water has been tight for 4 years, these orchards take 20+ years to become fully mature.
The idea that Almond or Walnut growers are choosing those nuts like you choose a different colored filament for a 3D printer is ludicrous.
The other problem with this notion is that they want to yet again increase the price of water, what California needs to do is stop giving all their damn water to the cities and return it to the farmers. California had plenty of water before the cities got overgrown and portly.
Stop making a bunch of useless new legislation, stop growth in big cities, encourage farming, and stop stepping on individual rights!

This is NOT OpenSSL they are working on, this is a private fork of OpenSSL that is intended for OpenBSD only.
They are taking big hatchets to interoperability code to simplify it, with the sole intent of targeting it at OpenBSD.
This is the walled garden approach to improving the software, only OpenBSD will have the *new* OpenSSL and it will be a non-compatible fork of the old OpenSSL.
I understand their personal motivations, but everyone has to understand that this does not make the OpenSSL ecosystem safer, it only makes the OpenBSD specific port of OpenSSL safer. The rest of the world will still be subject to any vulnerabilities and shortcomings in the code, because they are not intent on contributing this code back to OpenSSL.
That said, someone will have to further backport these changes into the baseline OpenSSL, eliminating all of the commits that remove interoperability.
This comment, and the other 3 that replied to it before me, show a huge lack of knowledge or care. Oracle isn't very transparent, but it only takes a small amount of effort to see that neither MySQL or VirtualBox are in danger of perishing. There are many people who left Oracle/Sun/MySQL for Percona and MariaDB/SkySQL, but most of those people left for their own reasons and *many* left before and Sun or Oracle influence was upon them.
I get to see it from the inside, and MySQL is growing and has more market share than either of the other competitors. The newest developments are really spectacular improvements. I get to see the walled garden from the inside, and it's anything but dying, it is in better shape as a product than it has ever been. Oracle is anything but stupid and doesn't have a track record of making stupid decisions with their products, which can't be said for some companies. Oracle is putting a lot of resources into MySQL to make it even better.
VirtualBox is a fairly decent team and they are not just working on VirtualBox, there is a reason it continues to be developed and the technology doesn't have a dead end to it.
I think that most of the comments I've read are uneducated and purely people spouting off uninformed opinions mixed with conjecture and hyperbole. The people I work with are the brightest group of people I've ever had the privilege of working with, there are some really notable folks that work on MySQL and you wouldn't know it unless you paid attention to the blogosphere.

So Sprint must be for self-absorbed inarticulate people, if you use their marketing example as benchmark.
80+40=120
40/120=33.33%
So they are laying off 33.33% of their staff, not 25%.

Hmm, are you trying to sound like you AREN'T dissing Neil Young, but really are?

I'd say that makes him famous to anyone who's heard classic rock.
Then there's those little songs "Old Man" and "Rockin' in The Free World", to name a couple.

Surely you should switch to the cloud, because the cloud is nebulous! In the cloud there are no servers!
Oh, wait, umm, yeah, uhh, in the cloud all your stuff runs on servers.
Yeah, some companies call a XEN virtual machine on a box with 15 other virtual machines a "cloud" server.
Umm, does your "cloud" support online migration from one server to another server?
Does your cloud provide deterministic performance? Oh, wait, what's that you say?
