Great work by Vox, I love how much they do on informing the public. BTW the Vice URL: http://www.vox.com/2016/4/28/11518804/weight-loss-exercise-m...

netstat is deprecated on Linux, ss should be used instead. Learning the differences is a good exercise by itself

So this magazine offers the idea of removing fixed pricing for electricity, but is electricity demand that elastic? Perhaps in some markets, so this might be a good option; but should not be made mandatory. A lot of electricity demand is fo

I wonder how applicable that advice is to other countries, especially those that tax investment income. Also, how does currency risk factor in? If I don't use USD in my daily life, how good of an idea is to hold all my savings in USD d

I'd argue that Fedora 25 is cutting edge (Wayland) and works pretty well out of the box without any cringy tweaks. YMMV thought.

Actually there is a false equivalency even if I take your list on face value - the things you mentioned are done by multiple actors: two US administrations, Congress, Tribal and sectoral militias, Middle-Eastern governments, even private en

"Its just geopolitics" doesn't have enough explanatory power. Why doesn't the USA have the same kind of relationship with Russia as it does with Canada, Australia, Brazil, Japan or any other country with a either a simil

I don't like this line of thought - being anti-Russian because it is a "tradition". There a lot more specific things to oppose Putin specifically and his 21st century Kremlin for: * the wars in the North Caucasus, Georgia, Uk

Schneier seems to focus a lot on a "smoking gun" type of evidence, which the US intelligence community probably does have and it doesn't have an incentive to publicize. Intentionally or not it appears he spreads doubt that Ru

ConEmu is nice in my experience, but requires some tweeking. Some people I know use MobaXterm. The main drawback is windows itself, with its disruptive updates lately.

I appreciate that the article points out at the end: "There is no quick way to move off the Earth. We will have to solve our problems here." Solving the climate change and other ecological issues we face here is surely easier than

To those familiar with Emacs development - is there a tendency to modernise the UI and generally make it an easier out-of-box experience?

You've mentioned demand for housing as a determinant of rents - but there is also supply of houses and apartments. You can make rents lower by building more, and quality of life can stay the same or improve provided that your infrastru

Aren't warm countries incredibly suitable for solar power? I assume most of the electricity is used during the day for things like electric motors during the work hours and air-conditioning. So they don't need to store that energy

Does this culture of trigger words and safe spaces really exist out of the Internet? Is it an US/UK thing? I've never encountered it in my life.

I wouldn't want to work with the author of the manifesto. I think the answer to a better Dev and Operations relationship is to involve people who can deal with any types of situations without being adversarial. Yes, you can scrap opera
