No, they're taking away the root user out of the OS, no more daemons running as root, no more sudo. And they're separating the file system as in creating different volumes (a form of partitioning) for the/System and the/User and making/System read-only.
Replacing HFS with APFS brings a lot of new features similar to ZFS but it's also going towards the Android/iOS security model where the system and user data are separated and the system read-only without a root user anymore.
Although it will probably be trivial to break out, we're moving more towards commercial ecosystems that no longer will support tinkering with the OS.
So with Obama net neutrality not only did we not get non-prioritizations of traffic (actually net neutrality), which Verizon, T-Mobile, TWC and Charter still do - I should be more than comfortable streaming YouTube and Netflix on 20Mbps connections, we also didn't get anyone fixing their capacity problems as the lawsuits clearly show and now they get to hide behind the letter of the text AND keep their common carrier status?
Nope, I've lived and worked in Europe near actual no-go zones, the only way to defend yourself from a group is to kill or seriously injure the leader. I also have children, I'm not going to wait and ask whether they will voluntarily leave.
Also insecure as hell, add Oracle and both the UN and Accenture will be on the verge of insolvency at the end of the journey. Without Oracle, they'll just get fucked over and never grow further as a company.
If it's such a security issue, shouldn't it already be done correctly in the library or the logging system? These sorts of things is exactly what a developer shouldn't have to worry about. If the underlying system receives a string from a Log library, it should either be cleaned or the underlying system should clean those up.
You're putting your kids in a bubble away from the rest of the "normal" world. They'll hear foul language eventually, why not guide them through while you're there? When they go to prom, will you tell them to be abstinent or do you give them a condom?
You get x amount of dollars to do a task and it's imperative that you use x+10% or you will lose budget next year.
If you do not use a budget, the money does not go to another project, it simply sits there as a contingent or rolls over to next budget years because you cannot reappropriate a budget that has been assigned to a certain cause. You will use your budget until it's gone, even if that means having to pay an accountant for counting it.
You've never worked in government, nobody "works" 24 hours a week. Also, not how man-hours are traditionally counted. Just because you save 100 hours on a task doesn't mean you'll save any employment cost in the long run, it just means your employees won't be doing busy-work.
Think about how many paper 1200 hours generates. I can generate about 5 well-written e-mails or letters and complete about 2-10 reports in an hour. Given this is the government, everything is signed in triplicate, sent in, sent back, queried, lost, found, subjected to public enquiry, lost again, and finally buried in soft peat for three months and recycled as firelighters.
The bug is in Windows too. Microsoft (as GCC and other compilers did way before) did update their 2005 compilers but any program older than that is probably still affected (*cough* Windows XP *cough*) and Microsoft barely told their developers that time_t had changed from 32-bit to 64-bit you can compile a program with VS2003 for example and get a totally different result than VS2005 without any code changes.
So you call bailing out the car industry a good thing after bailing out the bank industry failed so miserably? Do you know what GM was pondering to save their company? Electric, they put that on the back burner after the bailout because they could simply continue mismanaging the existing lines.
Do you know which companies didn't fail? Tesla, Ford, Volkswagen, Nissan,... Would the world have been worse off without GM and Chrysler? Probably not, they're the shittiest cars contributing the most to pollution and garbage. Did it save any jobs? No, the now-bailed-out car companies took the money and moved their factories to Mexico and beyond and imported large swaths of foreign workers for any technological job, job growth was at best anemic during Obama's presidency and only after he declared that people that haven't been in the work force for 6 months are no longer unemployed, but higher taxes and employer costs drove any natural growth back into the ground.
There's no smoke in Russia, the whole thing is blown out of proportions by the media, they're fanning at a tree log hoping it will spontaneously combust. We've had weeks of Congressional hearings, even Comey had nothing interesting to say other than conjecture. Even the GOP doesn't want Trump but both of them combined can't find anything remotely impeachable. If you're talking about smoke, we KNOW Hillary had involvement with the Russians and a bunch of others to influence both Obama and the Hillary elections because she fucking wrote it in an e-mail.
Find me an e-mail from Trump to the Russians, even Obama ordering the NSA to spy on Trump (or as the media likes to call it "uncover the identities of collateral spy action against potential American citizen terrorists on American soil") couldn't find any hard evidence. We can find Weiner's dick pic but we can't find electoral fraud on massive scales?
That's the problem, the companies get tax-funded money from FCC and other agencies to expand their networks and then privatize them, we paid for them, we should get them back. Current regulation keeps those schemes in place both on federal and local levels, the access to poles and lines and the expansion of new copper and fiber is so heavily regulated that competitors have a really hard time starting a new business. We need to deregulate the current situation and give back the right of ways to all players in a market, not just those that pay off congress.
The reality is that there is no technical reason for metering at all and it wouldn't stop these issues either.
The internet infrastructure works whether or not you send bits over it, it doesn't wear out any faster nor does it need any more maintenance because a bit was sent.
What's more is that your ISP doesn't pay per bit sent either, that's pure fiction. The problem is that they don't want to expand their network.
At the peering points they are at 100% capacity and refuse to install more bandwidth even though their network supports it and in some cases the peering centers have even offered to pay for it. They want Netflix to pay for it purely in order to damage its business model and raise prices for consumers so they can offer their own in-network offering.
We need to deregulate the ISPs so smaller ISPs can use the fiber and copper we paid for through FCC taxes, split the service provider up from the media companies and cable companies like they split up Ma Bell. That's the only solution, the weak Obama net neutrality only legalized what it had promised to regulate - the bundling of data with in-network services.
Duh... if you want control over the privacy of your mailbox, you have to host it yourself. You can do that at home with some ISPs (give them a call if they actively block port 25, some will simply unblock it), most VPS and many other hosting systems, you can get a good host for a few bucks a month and it's "free" if you already have one for business or other purposes or if you have a business or someone with business-grade ISP's you can also host systems (perhaps offer a trade)
You can pick a host in far-away-istan or closer to home depending on your government, I myself have dedicated servers hosted in the US (for latency reasons) but hosted by a non-US company with encrypted file systems that are backed up to a disk at another site. I'm not sure if the hosting company at Sealand still exists, if you're really worried about government checking up on you there are various offshore hosting companies but then you wouldn't be using e-mail in the first place although offshore hosting is typically ~$1-200/month even for the simplest servers.
Most car owners don't take their car in every so often for oil changes nor do they go in for safety recalls, most people will ignore it until the light comes on or a safety inspection is required, according to NHTSA it's ~20% of people that don't heed safety recalls.
Same goes for people and their vaccines, when was the last time you got your tetanus shot or any of the boosters? So why would you expect them to do the same for their computers, a machine they assume is even less maintenance-worthy than their dishwasher.
I don't see the validity of tape for anything cheaper than that though, even for simpler systems, the expense of a tape robot alone is ~$2500 taking up ~4U on the low-end without any tapes or software. For $2500 you can get a LOT of hard drive space in a 1 or 2U unit.
They start breaking even at very large installations when you include the energy cost of tape-at-rest (virtually free) but even there the inconvenience of tape has even the largest systems put a hard disk cache in front of it for at least 1 cycle of backups and if you need to replace a smaller existing system, many vendors will just sell you a 'virtual' tape library which is a hard drive array that pretends it's a tape.

Google it - depending on how you calculate it's between 50 and 75%. How well do you trust your kids.
Sex is for sustaining life too... how did you make kids?
You're deluded if you think all your kids are truly abstinent.
Yes it is, it is breaking and entering in the US/UK.
Nope, I've lived and worked in Europe near actual no-go zones, the only way to defend yourself from a group is to kill or seriously injure the leader. I also have children, I'm not going to wait and ask whether they will voluntarily leave.

I'm prepared to kill anyone that walks in my house uninvited, the fact that you aren't is sad.

Not how government budgeting works though.
You get x amount of dollars to do a task and it's imperative that you use x+10% or you will lose budget next year.
If you do not use a budget, the money does not go to another project, it simply sits there as a contingent or rolls over to next budget years because you cannot reappropriate a budget that has been assigned to a certain cause.

Instead of going after the defunct company (which was probably an LLC anyway), who signed off on that purchase? Shouldn't they be prosecuted too?
1200 man hours in government? That's at least 5 or 6 desk jobs and a highly paid consultant.

You can get an AK from any shady arms dealer for ~$500.
