All that is fine and well, and I love coreboot, openbmc, etc. as much as the next guy, but how is this a business with growth or scale? In particular, you are not going to sell to the large clouds as they do a similar thing in house, you ar

This is easily fixable by requiring convictions. Immigration is the only area where this type of pre-crime fast and loose nonsense is allowed.

Good use case and an example of brokenness of UX on Linux in many small and subtle ways. It frustrates me to no end that GNOME, Nautilus, etc. will truncate or hide information in many places. I don't think this has been fixed but the

What a moronic take. You end your sentence with a ?, so it looks like you want an answer. Here is the answer: Don't watch the reaction clips. No one is forcing you to watch them.

It's a bit of both. I would wager that most Americans believe that there are reasonable pathways, either through education, work, family ties, or even asylum, to "legally" immigrate to the US. They have never dealt with the K

Generally a sensible list, except I'm sure you have seen how the national list of "Certified Bad People" is used these days. A majority of people that ICE rounds up have no convictions or traffic type issues ( https:/&#x

I've heard this argument going back to Milton Friedman, but the immigration discourse these days is quite detached from any economic concerns. Forget impoverished people; there is rabid opposition to pretty much all immigration includi

The author is mostly correct. A lot of discourse in America revolves around, "Why don't they get come in legally?"

If you mainly use a browser like chrome, it should be pretty safe. The general threat model is likely not as safe/mature as Win/MacOS as far as running a bunch of untrusted apps go.

People are getting hung up on definitions of extraordinary. The thing you need to understand is that US immigration is a political blackhole. The main pathways to immigrate to the US are family, misery (asylum, refugee, tps), or luck (diver

It's not that it doesn't work. It's not the primary tool for weight management. Gym is great for strength, muscle, cardio, and general fitness, but weight management is mostly about counting calories that go in. The calories

Yes, external displays can break in weird ways. I remember that a common annoyance used to be that windows and applications don't go back to where you left them before suspending. There are likely other paper cuts as well in areas of v

Current gen intel and amd gpus support vaapi out of the box on fedora in both chromium and firefox. DRM nonsense is orthogonal and unrelated to linux.

They tend to be server focused. borg, restic, etc. I don't know how practical they are on a laptop in a start/stop/suspend/internet-loss environment.

The trick with linux is being selective when you buy hardware. Getting things to work the first time is hit or miss, but once they work, they tend to continue to work without too many surprises. For laptops, that means thinkpads.

They are both SRAM based solutions currently with the same benefits and pitfalls.

Kernel support should have no bearing as the apps are purely userspace apps. You can use the kernel mode if you root the phone, but that's not a typical scenario.

This is a silly question to ask. What do you expect a rent seeker to say? Of course there are costs. Real estate brokers have costs, Apple store has costs, a publisher has costs. That's what they'll say. It does not matter what th

Timing. Patent encumbered codecs get a foothold through physical media and broadcast first. Then hw manufactures license it. Then everyone is forced to license them. Free codecs have a longer path to market as they need to avoid the patents

The downside is that you have declining birth rates and a slowing economy. Despite all the non-sense from the current admin, you do actually need immigrants. Trump has said so himself as his admin keeps screwing things up (see the Hyundai f

I don't think OMSCS is that selective. Get a couple of letters from your former professors and/or bosses. Letters are supplementary, not the sole determinant. More than the letters, they likely care about your GPA and GRE.

It will be cleared if everyone is treated equally as Congress will be forced to change the law. Green cards aren't magical fairy dust with a finite supply. Everything is negotiable. You restore basic equality first; the rest is account

But this isn't an ambiguous area of law. The statute is pretty clear in the text here - that the EB1-A criteria are necessary but not sufficient. That's what the step1 (necessary) and step2 (sufficient) boil down to. You can litig

What has Chevron got to do with EB-1A adjudication? The Kazarian step 1 step 2 stuff is hokey. It is ultimately a subjective evaluation that will remain under the executive.
