Well if you were an Islamic scholar you'd just bend your answer to suit you audience, downplaying your attivist misogyny in this case. But then again maybe not. Which ranks higher on the list of unacceptable things? Sexism or criticizing Islam? I can't remember.
All that does is un-shit the page appearance. You're still exposed to vulnerabilities due to a larger attack surface while communicating with ad servers, you still incur the bandwidth use, memory use and extra latency, and your tracking profile is much higher.
It's not just about hating on marketing; it's also about resources, speed, security and profile.
Not happy about this. Now that "normals" have slouched onto the blocker band wagon the ad pushers will develop more aggressive techniques plus deny content to blocker users (more than they do already.) Blockers only worked because they weren't popular; there are a LOT more ad-mongers than there are blocker makers.
Violence is unique to modern times, caused primarily by guns, white racists and cops. If it weren't for corporations, Christian fundies and global warming the world would be at peace, just as it was before the advent of all these inhumane capitalist ideas.
How is that different than what we're doing to ourselves as a matter of policy? Every time we tighten the screws on some industrial chemical or fossil fuel we simply chase another industry to Asia or damn up another Canadian river. He's just following this pattern on an individual level.
What was the Greek government thinking? that the EU will just give more money without asking for more responsible measures.
Why not? They've done exactly that twice already. Three times, if you count Euro adoption in Greece, which actually was the first Greek bailout. Yes, the agreements came with some "austerity," but the Greeks back-pedaled, slow-walked and lied about much of that, the predicted economic recovery in Greece never materialized and the rest of Europe looked the other way while all this went on.
If this deal goes down the same things will happen and we'll be right back here in three odd years with Greece another umpteen billion in debt, the money run out and herds of negotiators holding press conferences. Eventually this circus will happen in the midst of a recession in Germany and the appetite for throwing more money into Greece will be gone.
Greece isn't going to become a productive, disciplined society of tax-paying citizens and honest public officials in the next 1000-ish days. Not even if the books were wiped clean tomorrow.
Debt sucks. It's terrible and it's why some (too few) people think peace-time deficits are next to criminal. Tax-cut-and-spend RINOs and borrow-and-spend dhimmicrats are putting us in the same position as Greece.
Web-scale? Way to be tone-deaf there Mr. Crawford.
Or maybe the ridicule heaped on users of that particular term is something indulged only by the neckbeard wannabes that haunt Slashdot. In which case, carry on!
I know. I also noticed that the story omitted mentioning this. That's not a problem, but I realized that if I attributed NuSTAR to ESA and criticized NASA it would be rewarded with mod points, because this is the preconceived, if blatantly ignorant view of too many people with mod points.
It's really great that the ESA is doing such great space science today. While NASA is off draining its resources on space cowboys and bloated contractor budgets the ESA is pioneering novel astronomy and leading the way, with no manned program at all.
If only the US would do programs like SMEX-11 (Small Explorer satellite program) like the ESA does instead of their "heavy" lift stuff we would know so much more about the universe.
The Greek financial disaster came from refusal to live within their means and not run chronic deficits for decades on end. This is the end result of modern "borrow and spend" liberalism taken so far as to ruin the finances of Greece and exhaust the patience of the rest of Europe. The people bailing are the "children" spoken of when conservatives are heard to say we must not saddle our children with debt.
The thing that is not said is that the reason we must not do this is not merely because it is morally reprehensible, which it is, but that the children simply won't pay it. Unless you are ready to erect gulags to enslave people you can't make them live their lives to fund your unlimited socialist dreams.
Oh goody. So it's no different than any other monadic polymorphized differential functor system utilizing monoidal categories and parameterized applicative type expressions.
Whew. Lucky me. I was worried about finding something to do over the holiday weekend.
And that is why nuclear power plants can't be run by for profit companies.
Chernobyl didn't explode and contaminate Northern Ukraine, Belarus and parts of Western Europe because it is a state run enterprise and immune to market forces that cut corners.
Are you aware that there are hundreds of legitimate fission power reactors operating around the world that are indistinguishable from plutonium production reactors using your "$10 billion" network of neutrino detectors? I'm also wondering if you realize that building primitive `atom' bombs (such as the one that destroyed Hiroshima) won't emit neutrinos because it doesn't involve nuclear fission.
so gee I wonder why nobody is funding it
It's not funded because — despite what the group-think malcontents around here have been trained to believe — the world isn't actually run by drooling idiots.
The Arris TG862G is discussed here. The Technicolor TC8305 is mentioned on Tom's Hardware. The "hidden" network broadcasts the "xfinitywifi" SSID and the access point has a distinct MAC address.
Yes, FreeNAS will get you there. Since versioning is a key requirement you will want to use ZFS. The thing you need for that is a plenty of RAM. It's not just a performance concern. ZFS can be unstable if not fed enough RAM.
So budget for something with a lot of installed RAM on day one, and some room to grow as you add more storage.
Yes, FreeNAS isn't Linux. The simple fact is that Linux has so far failed to achieve parity with other systems, both contemporary and historical, that provide advanced file system features. BTRFS might get there one day. ZFS is persona non grata. LVM can serve some of your expectations, but not all.
So look beyond Linux. In addition to FreeNAS there is proprietary stuff; they still make NetApps and they still work as good as ever. Dell has EqualLogic boxes that will snapshot volumes all day long. If you have the dosh there are all sort of solutions. If you're dosh-challenged then look to FreeNAS.
You know the public hotspot traffic is segregated to a separate IP addresses, right?
At least that's how Comcast does it. Can't imagine there rest aren't also doing the perfectly obvious.
There are entirely legitimate reasons to object to this stuff, but being held liable for public hotspot traffic due to conflated IP addresses isn't one of them.
We need "rules" because a huge fraction of our population are clinical knuckleheads and somehow don't automatically know better than to harass women, buzz sporting events, disturb fire fighters, interfere with airports, etc. with their store-bought drones. One thing has become very obvious as these now daily incidents have appeared; the vast majority of these idiots are using DJI Phantoms. People with the wit and motivation to build their own drones are usually not the culprits of this silly shit.
But yeah, the knuckleheads are on the loose now with their blister pack drones and Feinstein is on the case, so if you have any interest in UAVs you should probably fuck off now; by the time these statists are done you'll need 50 acres of private land and a license to fly one; it will be criminal everywhere else.
Walk your doggie and ride your bicycle. Everything else is a crime.
No. The sellout will continue until you live in a subsidized trailer. Anything else is injustice and racism.
Insurance companies already use satellites to deal with claims. I know from recent experience that Travelers settles roof damage claims based on satellite imagery in an automated estimate system, and the results are so reliable that contractors take these jobs at face value. The 'adjuster' looks around for 15 minutes, pencil whips the claim and it's over.
It's a shakedown. Pressure groups playing on grievances for a payout. Building scientific instruments on volcanic rubble isn't a desecration of anyone and it's nice to see the board not knuckling under to this fake outrage.
North Korea provides free health care, which they can afford because they also carefully regulate caloric intake, so there are no fat North Koreans with chronic health problems. Also, no nation on Earth does more to combat climate change; wasteful night-time lighting, for instance, is basically not used outside Pyongyang, and North Koreans citizens don't drive gas guzzling SUVs. Finally, North Korea has achieved extremely uniform income equality; except for North Korea's benevolent rulers there are effectively no rich people in North Korea at all.
It's a liberal paradise, now with free a AIDs cure.
Better plan: pick something that is currently and widely used in aerospace and military applications and the world will preserve working systems for you.
I have personal experience with this. 15 years ago, just before I left an employer I had worked for for some time, I took a number of Digital Alpha workstations off their hands; they just gave them away after about five years of use and replaced them with newer workstations.
It turns out there is a thriving market for this hardware because aerospace and military outfits used it for their work and today they still have drawings and material they need to deal with in original form. They have migrated the original material to newer systems, but they also still maintain the equipment and software needed to get at the material in its original form.
They pay through the nose to get replacement parts and complete systems in working condition, so a salvage market has emerged and people prowl around trying to find caches of ancient workstations. Doubtless this will be ongoing for at least another ten years, and the prices will escalate accordingly.
So if you need to ensure there will be spare parts and systems at your disposal a quarter century from now, find out what Lockheed and Boeing are designing today's jets with and use that stuff. It's built well and people pay dearly for it when new, so it tends to be carefully preserved; it's hard to trash something that cost $20k, even if it is wildly obsolete.
