Not sure what the statute of limitations are, but 5 years sounds about right. And I’m not saying it is just Hillary, it’s that she is “patient 0” and we need to set a precedent that is more severe then “meh.” It would stop or at least pause morons like the Trump family.
Everyone is getting upset over the ad concept, but the reality is that the Amazon "store" is poorly designed. The fact that the UI pops a sponsored link in the middle of the visual area should be a giant red flag to any retailer in the world.
It's what happens when an MBA comes in and make suggestions that while technically valid and short term boosts, the long term effect is not positive.
It's about the OS. While iOS is not palatable for my device, it is a hell of a lot better for my wife and kid. With my Samsung S5, I had samsung interrupting EVERY aspect of the device. Once I reloaded it with Cyan/LineageOS, it works fine.
On the iPhone, while the experience is a walled garden, it is not interrupted by bixby / samsung crapware / wireless crapware every five seconds. If the iPhone had replaceable batteries and a headphone jack, I would upgrade my 4 y/o phone. Until then, no reason to.
So the callousness in which you treat the general population is quite amazing. If the two candidates where identical, you might be right. But this was black vs. white. There was no common ground between the two. If you are saying that 100K of advertising is all it takes to tip someone from black to white, then our "election" process is beyond repair. Really, people made the opinion early on, and disregarded information based on their bias.
This fantasy world that people live in where obviously the Russians are the ONLY reason Trump is president is amazing. Admitting Hillary was a flawed candidate would really help the democrats swing centrists, but instead they prefer to go off the rails.
Granted, I have never needed any kind of tampering or corruption mitigation in my log files over the last 20 years of Linux administration. So the value for at least my usage of journalctl has been sum negative because I don't see the value in a command that by default truncates log output.
So the answer for systemd is to workaround it by using a "legacy" service to restore decades of functionality.
SMF was the death knell for Solaris (along with the Oracle purchase), and it feels like systemd is going to be the anchor which drags Linux into the abyss.
So, while I appreciate the theme of being able to run a full blooded Linux environment, it doesn't fix the fact that the basic OS provided by Samsung is complete crap and not worth keeping on the phone. Unnecessary processes and constant unwelcome intrusions are the main reason that I replace the OS. Adding a compatibility layer doesn't remove the underlying problem that Samsung's out of the box OS experience is craptacular and abusive.
I like to think its more of an experience thing. IE - we've seen so many of these conspiracy theories that the current Russia fever seems way out of touch.
Somehow low effort trolling and phishing campaigns are somehow becoming hacks. And they are massively diverting money and attention away from the real crimes. Podesta gave his password to a foreign agent. That affects a single person. Someone stole VA/OPM/Equifax data on millions of Americans. Yet we are see nothing happening, going to happen, or any changes whatsoever.
So, he gets to take a huge write off on his taxes for the donation, and then his sole sourced installers get money for the installation of not only the batteries, but also any solar to supply them.
All while quietly locking everyone else out of the market. In the name of "humanitarian" needs.
Seriously, the reaction to these "hacks" is so imbalanced. The OPM hack, while not as large as Equifax, included much more detailed information on subjects. I consider at this point that the information that Equifax has on me is "public." Considering all of the letters I have gotten from the VA, OPM, Target, Home Depot, etc...
Curious if that was before the "forced" merging of good and bad banks. Buffet may have been talking about the older WF, and not the influx of sub-prime mortgage managing people.
Instead of investing time on this, just go to reddit / 4chan and wait a few minutes. This whole "fake news" debacle is really just the same old trolls with new outfits.
Unless you travel, and most cars still only have aux in / no bluetooth. Or you ride in airplanes and listen to music on 5+ hour flights. These are just the reasons I used the headphone jack in the last week. There is no valid reason to require yet another cable for just simple audio out.
And this is where I start laughing, because seriously, you guys sound like middle managers.
I'm not asking for new features. I'm asking for a return to the level of service I had 5 years ago. It wasn't until the iPhone lead the charge into obsolescence that user serviceability died. They even took that mentality, and transferred it to the laptop realm with inaccessible components. I had to trash my daughters MB Air (1st generation) due to battery death. And the whole premium service fooey is crap. My daughters iPhone had a battery recall, scheduled an appointment, and was told they would have to ship the phone out. I wasted 2 weeks on what can only be described as the single worst support case in my life, and I had Comcast for 5 years.
So yeah, the "feature creep" argument doesn't hold true here, when the only "innovation" Apple has provided is less and less user service. We've had better.
Haven't noticed it on my 4 y/o phone. Maybe you had the "daylight" stuff on and mistook that for screen damage? I also replaced the case (not bolted an ugly ill fitting cover on top of) with a folio (fold over cover), so maybe that adds a layer of protection?
Like removing user replaceable batteries and removing headphone jacks and not including features.
Yeah, the only difference between Apple and landfill is the price tag. They led the race to the bottom, and now my 4+ year old phone is probably the last phone I will own due to their "innovations."
Samsung S5 - replaceable battery / rear case. Wireless charging. Waterproof. OLED display. Lineage OS support (think free as in speech).
Maybe 5 years ago. I use to subscribe to WaPo, and there has been a significant decline in their reporting to the point where the current output is primarily "opinion" pieces meant to scoop sources like buzzfeed.
It used to be that you could read the actual facts about an article in the 2nd paragraph. But recently (even before DJT), I had to go back to google to find an AP/UPI feed to find any kind of facts. If I need to do research on the article, then what is the point?
Sadly, your link is a thinly researched opinion piece. The references are basically 3 "green" energy blogs and 1 senate bill.
My favorite Myth is the Yucca mountain costs without mentioning the political aspect of the costs and failure of the mountain (thanks Harry Reed).
Also, holding up Japan's failed nuclear policy as an example is bit of a stretch. The problems in Japan are linked more in corruption and culture than technology.
Don't get me wrong, nuclear is scary and deserves respect, but I have faith in humanity that we can sort it out.
I think you are confusing consistently funny and funny. They do some really good comedy, but it is not a consistently on thing for them. That is the thing that Stewart and Colbert learned to do during the Bush years.
Future Samsung press release : The lagging S8 sales are obviously from the Note 7 debacle, and we need to reduce user functionality to only samsung approved software and functions. It's for your safety.
I think you are confusing the Clinton campaign with the Trump campaign. Clinton used targeted ad buys and voter rolls, Trump just tweeted insanity and was given billions in free coverage. That's why she lost, by deciding to pull resources from places where she lost by 20K, swinging the electoral college. But why would a 30 year veteran of public service understand the election process?
Why would Trump pay for anything he was getting for free from the media? I have heard anywhere from the low billions to trillions in free media coverage.
And this whole Russians hacked our election thing is going on way too long. Second paragraph of the unclassified report says it best - "there is no evidence that Russian agents affected the election"[paraphrasing]. So essentially, the DNC had crap security, lost control of critical systems, and somehow it is all someone else's fault.
And bonus points for equating the hacking of a private us company to the hacking of the US government.
As someone who evaluated an X vs the competition, the Tesla Model X is a broken car. Too much focus on glitchy, unworkable systems. Take the gas v. electric discussion out of the equation, the Model X just drives horribly for most people. Not to mention the amount of "bugs" (door opening issues, sun visor) I ran into just looking into the feasibility of owning one was very off putting.
If they stripped 90% of the crap out of the car and focused on the drivetrain it would be a different story. But it seems that they have fallen into an "experience" trap, and have driven away a large segment of the population that could care less about an technology based everything.
But your right, complaining about the costs of any 100K+ car is self defeating. Scratch a Jagaurus...
"Mass voter fraud" is just a fairly tale the GOP tells the public so they can justify voter ID laws, which disproportionately target Democratic leaning minorities.
Yesterday I had to show my ID no less than 5 times, and that was just a random day. This equation of ID to discrimination is insane, and ignores many of the real issues like redistricting. I really wish the DNC would pull their collective heads out of their asses and start pursuing real issues.

Except she didn’t. She consistently lied, and when she finally did disclose, she choose what disclose and what to hide.
Oh, and she did third even though she signed documents saying the opposite.
Ivanka and Jared may be pulling the same BS, but one could argue that they are not official employees.

Sounds more like a Debian issue. Iâ(TM)ve had headless systemd based RHEL 7 running under KVM for years.
