This is like a wet dream for the NSA. It creates a treasure trove of intelligence information... especially because I'm certain that hidden in the fine print somewhere is that, "you have no expectation of privacy...."
Seems like Carly Fiorina is spewing a lot of dung. Thankfully, I've gone all open source and OpenBSD. I can be assured that the OpenBSD folks will not give in to demands for work arounds and builtin weaknesses in encryption.
The gig economy devalues the highly skilled labor of many professions. It drives earnings down and forces people to work much harder for much less money. There is nothing good about the gig economy for the rank and file. The websites listing the gigs make bank. It's a massive redistribution of wealth upward.
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. Donald Trump's understanding of history is shaky at best. Therefore, he is advocating repeating policies of some of history's worst people.
This is just one more indication of the sorry state of education in our country. Why should we present accurate, fair, and objective material to our students? It seems to me that this is an effort to protect the teaching of creationism, something that has no scientific grounding and is pure religious mythology.
The rocket pollutants that NASA spews doesn't make NASA a poster child for eco friendly. NASCAR has actually contributed back to the community in terms of developing safer automobiles.
The job growth, sadly, is in retail and service sector jobs. I gave up on IT altogether after being effected by another layoff. I went ahead and got a CDL and now I drive for a living. Ironically, the joy of tinkering and experimenting with technology has returned.
An engineer actually designs and builds something in the real world to solve a real world problem. My concern is the overuse of the word engineer. I'm also against the terms network engineer, server engineer, and storage engineer. I'm fine calling them designers but my idea of an engineer is someone that develops a cleaner diesel engine or finds a way to make a product safer or more effective.
I run my own email server as well. But it's not as simple as an MX record. I use domainkeys and spf as well. None of the major services flag me as spam.
By no means am I an expert but systemd seems needlessly complicated. It seems that systemd was implemented for sake of change rather than addressing a true need. As others have pointed out, UNIX traditionally is a compilation of tools that each do a single thing well and play well together.
"Fluff" and "Puffery" are one thing. Explicitly showing people doing things the device can not do is plain false advertising.
Isn't a large amount of advertisements out there patently false? Look at the claims made by supplement vendors and diet pill pushers. How do you know a marketing guy is lying? His lips are moving...
Arguably, the new market came about with the rise of the MBA in the 1970s. MBAs look at the company strictly as a profit/loss model. Also, we started valuing quarterly profits over the long run. Now, a lot of companies are ridden hard to profit in the short term at the expense of the long term. Investors have unrealistic growth and profit expectations, and in their greed, disregard the precarious position of people employed. It's not any single thing but a cavalcade of conditions that put us where we are now. NAFTA decimated manufacturing in the US. I could go on....
So would that be the soul crushing jobs where you still need food stamps to live in spite of your 39.99 hour week? Of is that the jobs that you can only do for a year before it actually causes medical problems that you can't afford to get treated?
When the unemployment figures go negative, there will be enough jobs available to eliminate the need for employee/contractor protection.
I am fairly well educated and now working as a security guard. I guess that would count as a soul-crushing job that doesn't pay enough money to live on without food stamps. But, I guess the alternative is infinitely worse. The world doesn't want a 38 year old desktop support guy and be damned if I'm going to do customer support at a place like Comcast. The upshot of where I'm at is that the perpetual state of fear we live in, for now, guarantees me a job.

To not use Microsoft's products!

The consumers will buy on credit like they do now. How many people do you know buy an iPhone outright?
It's pretty clear (or should be) that crowdfunding is a risky venture. If you think otherwise, I have a slightly used bridge to sell you.

Klan membership had always ebbed and flowed. According to HateWatch and the Southern Poverty Law Center, Klan membership is sadly on the rise again.
I don't think HP-UX will be open sourced. HP Enterprise will want to sell support services for it.
I'm not sympathetic to the wealthy. Try living in poverty for a month or so.

They don't make a cure for stupid.
Still didn't prevent VW from getting nabbed to the tune of 18 billion.
No company could pay me enough money to willingly take on that headache. I'd likely end up in a mental institution ....

and say that with a goodly number of programming jobs being outsourced, there is little to celebrate or feel appreciated about being a programmer.

Exactly!!! China spews out more pollutants and has far fewer environmental restrictions than the US.
In an agency riddled with stupidity. Sadly, I am Just. Not. Surprised.
