As someone who has been working on an init system for Linux, I can assure you that there is literally no event for when a mount has occurred! The best you can do is poll/proc/self/mountinfo to see if it's changed since you last looked. Udev had mount event support but it was so buggy and wrong that they decided to remove it completely!
New processor support is nice but how about better event support for userspace programs?
The current congress is as unified on immigration as they are on health care. It's over for DACA because even if congress could somehow pass a bill, it would never survive a presidential veto.
Chinese authorities say this is to protect citizens by searching the source code of foreign companies for secret mechanisms that collect data on Chinese users and send it to foreign servers.
What they really want is for the mechanisms to be on Chinese servers so that they can have access to all your information on their own citizens, lest one of them have some wrongthink.
I was getting my fortune read by a old gypsy woman and she said, "2017 can be the year of the Linux desktop... but there's a price." I accepted but honestly, I didn't think she could actually make people vote for Trump!;)
Hear me out because i'm trying to be objective about this.
Google has +1 buttons on a fuckload of pages and it indexes them all. The question is, how much additional computational power would it require to identify the few pages that are not fond of Google? Given all that power used, how much money would they be paying just to suppress a negative articles?
I don't know the numbers but it seems to me that it would be rather costly to correctly identify which pages to avoid putting a +1 button on. I get the creeping feeling it's more likely that they left an html tag open or something which resulted in eating the button and thus not being displayed.
I will stay away from any Zeppelin-Die-based CPUs until AMD provides a proper explanation and fix for the "gcc segmentation fault" bug that haunts Ryzen CPUs.
Umm... they already did both of those.
I do not believe they actually have fixed it or know how to fix it. Why should I believe they fixed this for "Threadripper"?
Well, there's no cure for being an asshole, so you are shit out of luck.
While people may think this is trying to steal Tesla's thunder, you should remember that Tesla Motors wasn't started to make a buck, it was started to prove the viability and promotion of electric vehicles. The fact that other companies want to jump on the bandwagon isn't a bad thing, it's a good thing because it means that the plan behind Tesla is working. If you only like Telsa for the money aspect, you can suck it.;)
From what I've read, people are rightfully afraid of riding on the bullet train. Do you think they'll want to ride on an even faster and less safe version?
No, I do not support or condone the actions of Google. However, I find it funny that so many proponents of the free market are incapable of even acknowledging that there are serious flaws in the theory.
This is what happens when you try to save a few cents on the bill of materials and don't include a 3g radio for remote administration.
I hope you are joking.
A) A 3g radio would take a LOT of power compared to the rest of the unit. B) That would be one hell of a security hole! Cell networks are NOT secure. Baseband modems are NOT secure. A DoS attack alone could drain the battery in minutes!
This is on par with tying a rope around your neck and attaching the other side to your car seat so that you don't get whiplash. It does solve the whiplash problem but you're still retarded for doing it.
Going down in flames from conducting business as usual is something people want to avoid. For this reason, they radically modify their strategy to succeed. Such adaptations are now classified as "pivots" but it's just an attempt to optimize your actions to achieve your goals (which may also change). This isn't new for businesses, it's just become more public due to the volatile nature of places like Silicon Valley.
Are the vast majority of tasing incidence legitimate? Yes they are.
How do you know this to be true? Do you have statistics to back up this claim?
The number is extremely small, but your odds of death go up if you are ODing on meth or other stimulants, or have other underlying health issues.

Tasers are not perfect, but they are a less lethal way to stop criminals who are resisting or fleeing.
Why do you need to tase someone that is resisting arrest? Why not give chase? Did police really just shoot everybody before there was the taser?
Your original post and this reply is exactly the smarmy, liberal bias that I was reacting to.
No, it was clearly your inability to read once you became outraged.
I hope the police take 30 minutes to arrive at your house when the career felon released early from prison by Obama is invading your home,
Home invasion is really to just to steal valuable items and done while people are either sleeping or not there. If caught in the act, they are going to run, not attack because carrying a weapon makes it more difficult to steal stuff which a career thief would know. The kind of armed career criminals you describe don't really exist except in Hollywood scripts.
Just another example of liberal mental disability...
Are you sure? I ask because from where I'm standing, it seems like you can't differentiate between fact and fiction.

So long as there are no penalties for bad security, we will not have a concerted effort to always have good security.
But the potential fruits of a such a move are undeniable.
How are these "potential fruits" going to help Oracle? I ask because that's the only thing Oracle actually cares about.
When clearing your browser history just isn't enough, there's a steamroller.

Then you are in luck because they have been doing RMAs for anyone that has run into this extreme corner case.
Most of your brain is dedicated toward processing information from your eyes. Why would you risk it even if they tell you that it is safe?

A little background here. "Threadripper" is a reference to AMD swiftly removing the threads that hold Intel's coin purse together. ;)

Next time, fact check instead of spreading FUD. The bullet train in Japan is extremely safe.
This is about a train in China.
Palm made some great stuff but they had WebOS which I complained about constantly. What am I supposed to do now, not complain? THIS IS BULLSHIT! ;)
From what I've read, people are rightfully afraid of riding on the bullet train. Do you think they'll want to ride on an even faster and less safe version?
...it will reach 8000 km/hour.
Meh. Tell me when it's over 9000 and then I'll be interested (and astounded). ;)
I can't win.

You know, it occurs to me that the entire plot of Logan's Run (caution.... spoilers follow)....
Really?! Spoilers on the internet already?! It was just release to theaters two score and one year ago!

isn't this how markets work?
I feel like there is a distinct failure to recognize the fundamental problems behind the theory of the free market.
