Oh, and FWIW, both Trump and Clinton oppose the TPP
Trump's opposition to these trade deals goes back decades. Hillary's opposition to TPP goes back to when Trump started using it against her a couple months ago; before then she supported it, just like she supports NAFTA, MFN for China, etc., all of which her husband is responsible for. She'll enact TPP as well, after a suitable amount of time has passed and enough spin has been applied.
Hillary opposing TPP is as fake as a three dollar bill and the only people that believe it are her sycophants.
I see no less than 5 independent, certified implementations of latest Java 7 EE spec, including one LGPL application server; Wildfly by Red Hat. I'm pretty sure the "community" can handle evolving the standards going forward, and it's blatently obvious that Java EE doesn't actually need Oracle's implementation for anything. Is anything of value being lost here?
they said exactly the same damn thing about Java and how it was going to change the world when it came out. Ditto C#.
I'd be thrilled If Rust became as important as Java and C#. Those have been hugely influential and important languages. They must have known what they were talking about, and if they are right again Rust will be a wonderful success.
C & C++ still keep on trucking
If the only thing Rust accomplishes is to force improvements to these legacy languages (as it apparently already is) is will be a great contribution. I happen to think it will become more than that, and even as C/C++ continue to evolve and improve, as I'm sure they will, I'm happy, because I have this amazing ability to learn, use and appreciate more than one language.
Browsers are hard. I remember the early days of Firefox, then "Firebird." It was terrible, crashy alpha software and completely unusable for years. And that was based on a "mature" language; they weren't developing the implementation language in parallel. The "browser" problem today is an order of magnitude more difficult because a browser is vastly more complex than it was 15+ years ago; browsers must precisely implement a much larger body of legacy and contemporary "standards" and do so with excellent performance on a much larger spectrum of devices.
Why isn't Rust letting them develop Servo faster and better?
Rust only reached 1.0 13 months ago; most of Servo development has been based on a rapidly moving target while trying to hit a rapidly moving target. Other than the fact that Rust isn't miraculous — and no one has ever claimed it is — the current state of Servo doesn't really tell us much about Rust.
Slashdot has devolved into a fetid backwater of malcontent cubical trolls; most of the stories aren't even technical in nature, and the technical stories get the least attention from commentors. Rust isn't some hipster fancy Mozilla is playing with for fun. It's an amazing language developed by brilliant designers over many years and it is attracting a lot of smart people because it offers a great deal to professionals that aren't afraid to learn and aren't threatened by new, better tools. Toxic and irrational people like the GP aren't welcome at Hacker News and they tend to do poorly there.
It's a simple case of trademark violation. `Yes Men' used NRA and S&W trademarks illegally and the trademark holders did what they're expected and required to do to protect their trademarks. Libtards are self inflicting the necessary cognitive dissonance to make this somehow the NRA's fault, just as they've been trained to do.
AWS signs HIPAA Business Associate Agreements with covered entities every day. There is a subset of services (EC2, S3, EBS, etc.) that meet HIPAA requirements and I know for fact that CMS approves of such systems. So, whatever your notion of "HIPA" (sic) compliance is, there is plenty of HIPAA covered PHI on at least one major cloud provider.
While I have a healthy skepticism about NSA claims it actually aligns with my expectations that they're not really prepared for this sort of work. The NSA is a bureau of lawyers, just like the engineer-free NTSB and NRC or the analyst-free SEC, etc. There are some limited number of people with actual technical skills in these TLAs, but they have no authority and they are kept carefully on a leash lest they notice something inconvenient to the horde of lawyers.
Maybe the NSA had real in-house talent during the cold war, back when the adversary was a hostile nation and they couldn't just have some star-chamber court force the Soviets to open up their telecom systems. Today it's a big collection of lawyers that spend their time directing and coercing third-parties into compromising their systems for the NSA's convenience. It's a lot more efficient to make some telecom build the road in and tap tens of millions of devices and users than to maintain the talent, equipment and do the difficult and costly R&D necessary to pick apart some phone at the board level.
Yep. Something was in those records someone wanted disappeared. This is SOP in government now; systematically destroying disk drives, deleting PST file content, wiping servers.... just another cover-up.
It seems NHTSA has already been to visit Tesla and remind that that such clauses that say you can't talk to NHTSA are not legal
Like that matters to Tesla. They shit all over franchise laws and win most of the time. Why shouldn't they shit all over whatever laws or regulations make an NDA illegal? Golden boy Elon has bought all the D's he needs to insure that whatever some NHTSA functionary might be concerned about will get slow-walked and negotiated. If the NHTSA gets too enthusiastic about troubling Telsa et al. Harry Reid will have one of his fixers make a few calls get them back in line.
The problem is cities, counties and states that allow two day road repairs to take six months.
Yep. They've got other prerogatives, usually involving kickbacks and special relationships. CO governor Hickenlooper got called out on this a couple years ago. Some state apparatchik signed a contract with an absurdly long completion deadline, so after securing the contract the contractor wandered off and did other jobs while lanes on a busy road were closed for most of a year.
Not any more. Now BuzzFeed is praiseworthy and noble, espousing Our Values(tm) by refusing to do business with Trump.
Same thing happened with Facebook last month; a whistle-blower kicked over the rock and "blacklists" and BLM story "injection" appeared, and suddenly Facebook went from bloodsucking privacy invaders to a sovereign corporation that should be protected from investigation.
When challenged to explain the lack of evidence for "god" theists will sometimes argue that the universe was deliberately designed not to reveal the evidence. Naturally one is left wondering what difference there is between a universe that contains no evidence of a creator and a universe that had no creator.
What's the difference between a simulated universe and a "real" universe if the two are indistinguishable?
I cannot compromise on these things. I will not use Windows 10.
If you are using Windows 7 or 8 you should know that the bulk of Microsoft's telemetry has been backported. Unless you've prevented Windows Update installing this stuff then avoiding Windows 10 isn't protecting you.
On the other hand there are actively developed tools to control at least those parts of Microsoft's telemetry that can be controlled.
Please illuminate me as to what I can do so as to not be a hypocrite.
That's easy.
Go buy whatever you want, using whatever rationale you wish to justify it. And the next time a discussion about industrial pollution or the use of low cost energy (i.e. coal) by manufacturers or the costs of domestic regulations or anything else of the sort appears on Slashdot, or anywhere else for that matter, and your skin starts crawling with the urge to spout off about 'environment' or labor laws, etc.; don't. Just don't.
I'm not saying anything so definitive; these matters aren't actually simple and don't have easy solutions. It would be nice, however, if hypocrites like you would stop waving your virtue penis all over the interwebs every time these topics appear. You are — personally — responsible for just as much damage and injustice as all the people with all those worldviews you've been trained to hate.
Your response was actually predicted before you wrote it... How could I have possibly been more fair? You knew you were stepping in it but you still expect to be forgiven your hypocrisy!

Making subjects vote repeatedly until the globalist elites get their preferred outcome is one of the hallmarks of EU abuse.
4 actually, two of those are Oracle; WebLogic was acquired when Oracle bought BEA.

So why is Servo so bad?

Had the ban from the 1990s still be in existance
Like the ban on these weapons in France prevented Bataclan and Charlie Hebdo?

The first amendment begins "Congress shall make no law..." Private businesses are free...
Yeah. The same phenomena continues; corporate personhood advocates everywhere when the corporates are leftists.
unadulterated garbage

What evidence do you have that a "real" universe isn't (also) susceptible to this fate?
When challenged to explain the lack of evidence for "god" theists will sometimes argue that the universe was deliberately designed not to reveal the evidence. Naturally one is left wondering what difference there is between a universe that contains no evidence of a creator and a universe that had no creator.
What's the difference between a simulated universe and a "real" universe if the two are indistinguishable?
Whatever happened to the value of good honest labour?
They off-shored that to China, which is why they can afford to build a blue-water navy now.

unfair

'Muricans.... unbelievable.
And we have a winner!
So which third world hellhole made the device you just signaled your virtue with?
