The sad thing is that some people decide to vote for nationalistic parties, which are not the solution to the low regard to human rights and especially to equality. In addition right wingers are only able to say what they do not want, but they never say how they want to solve any crisis (except for statement pointing out that the problem can be solved by making it the problem of some else, for example Greece).
What we have to do it make a large step towards democracy and make clear to "elites" that this is all our country/countries. Anyway, we can sue again regarding the new treaty and we should keep up the fight against TTIP, TiSA, and CETA.
BTW your first part of your statement is an opinion worth discussing. It is neutral and allows to investigate the subject. The second part is almost passive aggressive, as the people coming to Europe nowadays are refugees from a war zone (most of them). Therefore, sending them home is inhumane. Still it is not hate speech.
The goal of fairphone is not to sell many phones. Instead their primary goals are to make the production process of phones transparent, show how things can be improved for humans and environment in all steps from resources to assembly, and they have encourage you to use your phone longer. Exactly what you want. The fp2 should even last longer than the first.
They have all the details in their website including a cost breakdown, a list of sources, what they do for the workers in China etc. They would have built it in Europe, but there are no factories for phones in Europe.
They do not compete in China, they try to destroy their competitors with dumping prices and extras for the drivers. This is cheating. At least in a free market scenario. This only shows that you cannot compete in efficiency with your competitors otherwise you would not have such big losses. For consumers this means that after the competitors are gone, Uber must rise prices to pay the money back. And then it will become expensive. However, in the end it will not work. The Chinese play usually the same game in other sectors. So they will play it there. Uber is burning money and as the tech stocks dip right now, there will be questions when they will earn their money. In the next recession (which is already looming, approx 1-2 years from now) Uber will have serious trouble.
More guns are not a solution to this problem. In the US the country which has the biggest military world wide some strange militia people think that they can bring down the government. It is not working that way. If you want to change something in your country vote for liberal and social democratic candidates. However, most in the US who vote vote for Republicans or Democrats which are either neo conservative, racist, stupid, and in the pocket of Big Oil, the Industry and Wall Street, or neo liberal and in the pocket of Big Oil, the Industry and Wall Street. Some even think a Republican Tea Party candidate is a good idea. Anyway, complaining about the US will not fix our EU problems.
CETA is the blueprint for TTIP. However, CETA is only between the EU and Canada. Voting Sanders might help for TTIP (so please do if you are a US citizen). However, in the EU and I assume in Canada, there are many protest initiatives. Ask them and post the answer here. As a European please send money to protest organizations so they can make more noise, support these groups, call and or write to your Member of the EU Parliaments, do the same with your local parliament, write to the EU Commission (the EU proxy government) and your own local government, support small and medium sized business in making noise. As a British person, you should vote for Brexit. At least that delays such treaty for your country and it might shift the balance in EU Parliament to against CETA and TTIP.
If they were a taxi company, they had to play by the rules. That would ruin their business model which is based on exploitation of drivers and riders. Even more than usual taxi companies.
My impression was that OpenGL used remotely is not very fast. However, this could also be the effect of bad programming and it might have to do with what they use. The programs work good locally, but not via X11 (some of them even do not work at all).
To my knowledge KDE and GNOME both use extension functionality which works better locally including the use of pixmaps. What I know about Wayland is that solves this problem by not addressing network transparency at all. That is an acceptable approach when you only want to execute things locally. Like Mir, Waylan/Weston are one building block for a new display stack in Linux. I personally think we also need a network transparent drawing and interaction layer which allows to transfer UI to a remote machine where it is operated by a user and then essential information is sent back to the service. Surprisingly, HTML/SVG and HTTP are going in that direction. Anyway, I have no time to invest in the issue so I have to use what ever comes out of this development. And I think you might be right about the Gnome3/gedit performance thing. Especially, if there is a problem with X11 performance, I would expect an X11 benchmark and not a test of one application which uses a library which uses Xlib etc. Apart from profiling there are tools available (like Kieker) which allow to monitor application performance at runtime.
While I sympathise with our position, why do you act like the "guy" you answering to. Instead of criticising him you first call him a moron. He might be. He might be not. You do not really know and it is also not important if he is either way. Important are the points you make later. Your post would have been much more convincing without the tirade at the beginning. BTW: X11 worked very well for what it was designed in the time. However, it was never well suited to do any of the "modern" things like show video or provide 3D graphics. X11 was a remote drawing and event handling protocol following the same principle as text terminals.
Why are you needlessly passive aggressive? You could instead argue, but you only claim stuff and denounce what they do. Here is the thing. X11 was a network transparent protocol for drawing. Later additions like DRM, however, were not network transparent any more. The basic idea behind X11 was that it did not matter where the program run, you could display it anywhere. So maybe Wayland is not the best solution for a graphical interface protocol on present day graphical devices. You can debate that, but please try to address the subject and not people. Thanks.
X11 has not aged well, as it was extended in a way which violated it original design idea. Therefore, I can understand that someone tries to make a new composition manager and protocol. However, it seems to be a large effort to get all the stuff running on this new graphics stack. Still cannot wait that it works.
It also corrupted your typing and reasoning skills. What on earth made you thinking that the topic of an Ubuntu Beta (which one?) has something to do with an article on Wayland? Next time use less the Caps Lock key and try to write complete sentences.
a) you do not know if he or she is not wealthier than one of them (or if he is one of them) b) the listed people had different profit gaining careers which are not necessarily only based on financial trading. For example, Bill Gates started a software company and got a large loan from his parents. c) In a large enough group it is statistical possible that players with the same capabilities, but subjected to a random environment will end with different amounts in the end. d) Also if the average advisor is not better than a random generator then there still can be an advisor or player who is better than average who will earn a fortune. e) To get really rich, you must understand the financial market. but you also need an advantage by having a special insight in the market and most importantly politics (as politics define the rules of the game).
You are completely missing my point. Never mind. It is of course you prerogative to choose what ever measurement system you want. However, you will always have to convert values when you sell products to the rest of the world.
The division in society cannot be solved with faster transportation. It only allows you to run away from each other. Local transport is much more an issue.
No they are one of the last three countries using the measurement system of their past overlords. I guess they do it in tribute to the Empire or because they are accustomed to it and do not want to change. Anyway, it is expensive to use such an ancient system in opposition to the rest of the world, and due to its incompatibility of inch, feet, yards, and miles which each other, it is more error prone to use.
Well, he does that because English still tries to apply gender to words. Of course he could write one or person to replace the he, but the him is hard. BTW most European languages suck at this topic.
Anyway, some dadaist performance would be appreciated.
True. however, good OSS projects document in the code describing the intent of a module or provide text files with the code (for example the Linux kernel). Others ignore documentation and then they wonder why they cannot really attract new programmers. Anyway, the beauty of git is, you can work offline and still be productive or counter productive (depends on your writing skills).
BTW: Commercial software also has often no documentation, documentation which describes what the code does (which should be obvious by reading the code), or documentation which describes the software in an envisioned version of it in the past. Most valuable would be an architecture description and a spec. of interface semantics (if they are important), like with libc.
Apart of making fun of OSS documentation 'strategies';-) , private software is often worse.
There are also decentralized ticket systems. Even though you should know enough about your tickets and tasks to have something to do for one day;-) And if all fails, update the documentation.

Instead of asking what hate speech is you could just have googled it or checked Wikipedia. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wik...

This exactly what FP promotes. The best what you can do for laborer and the environment, use the phone as long as possible.
The goal of fairphone is not to sell many phones. Instead their primary goals are to make the production process of phones transparent, show how things can be improved for humans and environment in all steps from resources to assembly, and they have encourage you to use your phone longer.

You post is not insightful it is uninformed.
Sorry wrong article. That a first. I should get some coffee. Obviously it is too early in the morning for writing comments. Never mind.

This is only for local transport. When you travel between cities you want higher speeds which is not so nice if you are just sucked through a tube.

The same way as in normal trains. They have a vacuum toilet which transports the waste into a bucket. The bucket is then cleaned at the destination.
