I mean, this is just plain common sense in the workplace, government or otherwise. Email is on record because of SOX or HIPAA or FISMA, so treat it accordingly.

Yeah, but huge grain of salt there. Several of references in that thread are being twisted out of proportion. Also, they couldn't be bothered to find single example where someone is being "canceled" or ridiculed for being too

Keep in mind that originally, Linux was written to be a terminal emulator. So, not a dumb terminal, but a terminal.

This would replace, not be in addition to, the gas tax. Cheaper, less fuel efficient vehicles (like an old work truck) would effectively taxed less than a Prius, although I think weight per axle is also intended to factor into this.

Even as an anecdote, that's not impressive.

If they want non-idiots to use their stuff, then they need to open up and give a few tours of their "vaults" or whatever.

I'm not sure if you're framing it this way, but how is this a problem? The concept might be foreign to most HNers, but lots of people lack entrepreneurial spirit, they instead attempt to minimize pain in their lives. As long as it

That's also a separate issue, it _also_ requires trusted 3rd parties to broker small, everyday transactions, which has it's own costs (energy and otherwise) and fundamentally requires some centralization and/or escrow, which

This is basically how the Palm Pilot worked. The RAM in the system was a developer-invisible cache that sat on top of a record-oriented access layer on top of the nonvolatile flash and system ROM. I'm simplifying slightly but it's

If you google this technical white paper from HP (a major LTO vendor) you'll see that the format (in all iterations) is designed to be pretty durable: 4AA4_3781EEE.pdf In particular, they test dropping tapes hundreds of times from 30&q

I'm still able to interface with an LTO 1 tape drive. It's all SCSI or SAS. Secondary markets like Ebay have made this surprisingly affordable (used drive, unopened older media). LTO is nice in that they mandate backwards compatib

I remember doing the same for Windows 2003. Got a little more difficult with the theme engine and having to use cmd shells running as SYSTEM but the end results were so satisfying. Sigh

It was like that in mid 2000s Lexus as well. I think it's a great system... less fingerprints to clean off the panel.

> So deplatforming by surprise is okay? Yes. Abuse and copyright violation doesn't get a pass, so why should extremism? You take calculated risks in these industries when you're using a service provider. Depends on your goals.

The analogies for the digital town/community break down when we consider certain practical and physical barriers that exist in company towns that do not exist in the digital realm. For example, the travel expenses and time required to

I mean, the issue is some people don't want to run a whole desktop or laptop with a 20+ watt power supply to provide the occasional wifi to a phone/tablet. Unless you're running a media server plus other services (or you have

I think you got downvoted because the term/group Antifa has existed in several forms since the 30s, it was a movement started in Germany in response to the rise of the SPD between WWI and WWII.

Since you're bringing up Manning but not mentioning Snowden, and also helpfully dead naming her in case we were confused, we can assume you're not bringing this up in good faith but as a slanted whataboutism.

It wasn't Pelosi's desktop, it was her scheduling assistant's. You can clearly see his name on the Outlook inbox. Not that it's much better, but it is still an important clarification.

Echoing the sentiments elsewhere in the thread, the office of the President has official avenues such as the White House Press Corps and EAS. I don't think Twitter has a particular duty to preserve or distribute the content of any user

That's a poor equivalence. 1) The content of calls is not pushed to a dashboard mixed in with things you want to hear algorithmically. This core discovery feature of Twitter means that the content of the messages from people you are no

I voted you up but I must disagree. I don't think the election had no issues, and few would claim so. Let's start with: Where the hell is my federal election holiday? And it just goes downhill from there.

That takes me back. Yes, we could not use the UEK so we tried using the RHCK. But we were still running into issues trying to debug kmods that we weren't running into on CentOS. I guess we weren't in the target market there for Or
