There is a simple way around this- never connect these to your LAN. I don't need the features, I don't need the data collection, and I certainly do not need the extra security footprint.

So since a corporation might get value from your work then nobody should get value from your work?

Gates is not forcing an American way of life or cultural takeover by pushing for lower infant mortality among other things. The values that Gates is a proponent of are pretty secular and universal- things such as equality, fairness, freedom

I find it ridiculous that he has trouble communicating ideas as an engineer.

What worldview? Equality and low infant mortality?

Why do applications have access to Bluetooth or WiFi ID's in the first place? Seems too low-level for an app to have access to. Aren't these details better left handled by the operating system?

They probably should be. If you are buying a chance then it is gambling. If it is gambling then laws should treat it as gambling.

It cites "three former senior U.S. officials with knowledge of the matter". Further down it cites a former senior intelligence official. Do you need me to explain why sources might not want to be named?

You can assume but you don't know until you actually observe them. It's no longer an assumption.

This is huge and is a subject I feel strongly about- especially for defense software. Parts of the US Government are already sounding the alarm over this. see- https://innovation.defense.gov/software/ Basically, we are

It's not forcing anything. Don't make a page public then? If a page is public then it is fair game.

>In 2015, there was no way I could have moved to Python 3. There were too many libraries I depended on that hadn't ported yet. You could work on porting them or be part of that effort?

Most beards that I see are not maintained in the slightest.

by decoyworker 7y ago
I have a theory that lazy/poor/busy modern men are the reason that beards are back in style. Economic factors contribute to trends pretty often.

Maybe they don't want to deal with how shitty a graphical desktop environment is on Linux. I've largely given up on Linux with the exception of the terminal because of this. There are just too many graphical quirks and glitches. I

Will this allow WSL2 to access your entire Windows filesystem without the performance hit? If so this is really cool.

Who cares? The goods crossing the ocean should not have their shipping subsidized. Drop shipping doesn't change that. If it's cheaper to use a drop shipper then they are providing a service anyway so I wouldn't call it rent s

Not sure. I'ts an unfinished thought but something I've toyed with in my mind. Mostly because I prefer local and the movement of goods is unnecessary a lot of the time. Environmental reasons for the most part- moving unnecessary j

I've even fantasized about a tax for the movement of goods no matter how they're moved or how carbon neutral the method.

Good. It should not be cheaper to ship across the Pacific ocean than ship domestically.

There is a middle ground between proper pain management and handing out scripts of Vicodin for take-home for the slightest reason.

Not true. People are pissed at a number of these companies and regulations are on the horizon. Regulations don't give me ($)_($) eyes.

I know about the past- I still tend to believe that the better product wins. You're pointing at Internet Explorer in 2001 as to why Windows is the #1 desktop operating system today? It was a better product- with or without this shitty

I was replying to- "where are the days of trying to beat competitors with a better product?" and then Apple and Microsoft were listed in response as offenders. So they have inferior products than the competition?
