Probably nothing. Xfce isn't a timing manager so these two aren't really comparable. Xfce is a lightweight alternative to gnome and kde. Probably the main competitor is lxde and from that perspective, xfce is more of a complete de

I would add to this that people who make statements like the parent did are woefully ignorant of how the industry really works. Board producers rarely design the entire PCB. PCB designers rarely produce the board. Chip designers rarely prod

Patent trolls patent things that already exist in some form and then seek to extract revenue through the legal system. You can't call a company that literally developed the IP they patented "trolls."

Depends. Will you pay a subscription if they don't? We all know what they were doing...

Can someone help me understand why VPN use seems to have exploded in recent years? I mean, I'm aware of the typical use-cases of corporate devices and such, but I doubt that's the major contributor here as those use-cases have exi

I don't have the model in front of me, but many lenovo chromebooks cannot have any other OS installed.

They are not easy to jailbreak. Many can't run Linux natively due to hardware restrictions.

Not quite. They simply must be seen as actively using the trademark. Simply sending the domain owner a notice with strict rules describing how to avoid trademark confusion would be enough to show ARM has not relinquished it's mark. The

I'll go a bit further. If this sort of behaviour from politicians is tolerated, it will lead to perverse incentives. Why proactively create legislation when you can wait until there's a problem and THEN take action to garner suppo

I think hardware companies will make a killing and maybe cloud providers who can deploy the hardware at scale and lease availability. However, pure research seems to me like it'll likely exist mostly in academia and open source circles

It does not mean they failed to address it either... This is pure speculation and irrelevant.

Not if the devs weren't aware. Zero day borrows it's terminology from contracts where zero day notice means that no prior notification is needed. A zero day exploit is one that's circulating in the wild prior to their having

> And your rebuttal is.... a downvote. How erudite. No need to be presumptuous. Hackernews doesn't allow parents to downvote replies.

I think the parent meant in general.

So your suggestion to fix concerns with privacy and tracking is that they should do more tracking?

This isn't about what's in their best interest. Google has no way of knowing what analytics are being collected on websites they do not control.

Can you cite what in the article gave you the impression this had anything to do with YouTube and not the advertisers themselves? Because from what can tell, YouTube is relevant here only from a clickbait headline standpoint. The real issue

I don't follow. In my specific case there has been one developer locked up already for collusion with the county so I think I'm fair in assuming the issue is not ATT in this case. Plus what's stopping Comcast from coming down

Like most things, the government creates a problem then convinces everyone they aren't the reason. I can't get broadband at my home despite being less than a mile from multiple providers in 3 different directions. I literally have

My phone can identify spam callers and has been doing so for nearly a year now. Why can't the telco's block them more quickly? I think we all know the answer to this. They aren't going to unless the FCC makes them. The telcos

I'm not talking about contracts. I'm talking about labor laws and there have been prior instances where interpretations of labor law, the intent of the law, and how contractors were treated trumped what was written in the contract

Not trying to be rude here, but I highly recommend you do a little more research on the common law system and how it works. At it's core, common law states that laws are interpreted over time and these interpretations become the offici

by deelowe 3y ago
I think that's splitting hairs a bit. Laws are written fairly broadly all the time and it's left up to the courts to determine the specifics.

by deelowe 3y ago
This is why the US uses the common law system. Laws are written and the courts then interpret them. The courts should be telling these yahoos that these actions are against the intent of the law.

I thought shaken/stir was going to do just this. Does anyone have inside knowledge as to why this hasn't fixed things yet? It isn't a hard problem. Once we can trace where the call originates, blacklists should be able to snu
