Looks like OpenSCAD. Any known relation there?

Freezing the RH kernel is mostly to keep closed source kernel modules working. Some proprietary software has those, unfortunately.

I do prefer a vendor who gets rid of obvious fake reviews. As always, I can only hope they leave the legitimate ones alone. But in general, a vendor should at least read and handle reviews, leading immediately to a better product and servic

Yes, but thats only a small part of the story, your limit only works if the numerator is constant, positive and > 0. Actually, the correct answer for lim{x->0} a/x is really "anything" and "strongly depends on a an

It isn't "big picture" rational, but it is rational in a myopic way. Most managers in a company are only responsible for their own little kingdom and will care little about the rest or any overall whole-company picture. Only

For external people likely not, usually Sharepoint would be behind some VPN and Firewall. Some cloud service like Dropbox might work if allowed (which it often isn't). And then there will often be the resulting sprawl of various servic

Everyone greatly overestimates ROI in their own area of expertise and greatly underestimates costs in the rest. You might be right in some special instance, but generally you are not. One example: Sending files via Email is a security probl

No, because keeping external consultants happy is not the job of the company. They only have to keep their own employees happy, external consultants are seen as temporary, cheap, illoyal and taking away normal employees' jobs. Most par

That is usually true, hidden agendas play a big role here. In Germany similar rules about contractors are often in place to prevent outsourcing. Contractors shouldn't be too comfortable and cheap, so the workers council and union enfor

Yeah, but you won't. Conservation laws will prevent you from tearing down the old house and instead oblige you to invest to prevent it from falling over on its own.

In Germany thats what income tax is for. The municipality receives the money and funds local infrastructure from it. I think the rest of Europe is at least similar in this regard. One can argue about which system is better, but taxing elder

Maybe. But a vendor not getting rid of such fake negatives (which is said to be easily possible) is at least a bad sign of apathy and neglect from the vendor. And since not buying is the safer choice anyways, the existence of fake negatives

If Italy is anything like Germany in terms of conservation laws, you wouldn't want those buildings even if they were accompanied by a small to medium pile of cash. It will cost you more than building anew to restore usability while obs

Amazon actively ignores reports such as the OPs, has corruption in its ranks and even has programs like Vine to generate overly positive reviews. Even if Amazon could not stop review crime, it could end its complicity in it and drastically

Reviews still have one purpose left: On a product I'm about to buy, I'll read a handfull of 2-star-reviews and look for frequent problems and failure modes of the product. If I find them convincing and relevant to my use case, I m

Agreed. And before anyone interjects something like: "But medical professionals recommend meditation!" Meditation for medical purposes is almost always just a relaxation technique, e.g. autogenic training. The rest, beyond relaxat

The "worse results" probably stem from the part of the law about changes in pagerank algorithms: If search engines are required to notify about changes in algorithm and provide mitigations for those changes, the easiest way to pro

And they lost all their data to foreign secret services (the NSA) once. Google never loosing data and taking "good care" of it is a myth that needs to die. The only right way forward is to be parsimonius with data. Never pass it a

When the computer is off: WiFi would also work if it were configured with an ESSID and credentials. But usually, most people dont't do this. When it is on: AMT Wifi might also just piggyback on the existing config of the OS.

German law doesn't require equal rights for employees in foreign offices, but doesn't forbid it either. N26 can just create a binding company policy ("Betriebsvereinbarung") extending German-equivalent rights to foreign

Yes. China didn't change its behaviour toward more openness before Trump. Trump forced the conflict about this into the open in his usual charming way. But there was no opening process that Trump interrupted.

Absolute numbers are irrelevant here. The relation between expenses and incoming donations is important. Wikipedia raises more than it can spend, resulting in rising assets: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Fun

Donations to Wikipedia more than pay for the technical infrastructure, they do have lots of money to waste. Mozilla obviously doesn't. So as a donor, Mozilla wasting money is more of a problem, because as a donor I see it is actually n

The author suggests getting donations to (partially) finance Firefox. That would never work without changing the culture of Mozilla Corporation in a huge way: Currently, they take every chance to annoy their users, break their workflows, ad

Yes, every website returning "application error" is one less chance for procrastination. However, since it is rather hard convincing everyone to break their website for me, I'll continue using a browser extension to keep me f

National security is and will continue to be a joke until there is strong regulation forcing all involved vendors to fix their crap for as long as their devices are used.
