I actually do share your fear. That's the reason I run Debian. I really hope this does not destroy Ubuntu as a Linux distribution (which I believe is the standard you and the poster I answered was referring to), as long as it remain based o

upstart is used by the current release of RHEL, but it's true that Red Hat has signaled that systemd will come to RHEL as well (Fedora now comes with systemd as far as I know). I don't see the problem with then using whatever they want, if

Which standards are these? Besides using the kernel compiled with gcc and using dynamic linked ELF binaries as their default and a libc on the system the only standard that I ever knew of was LSB, which I believe does not include anything a

What's a CPU for you? For me it's something that execute instructions and have their own instruction sets. It can be even built in a breadboard and you could eventually invent your own instruction set. Even low powered microcontrollers have

At the bank I work we use Matlab, when I'm working I tend to do things in the Octave's CLI for prototyping and only translating it to Matlab if others need to work with it. EDIT: Also I work with Python, and prefer it to Matlab, although no

Above 130 (2 SDs in a 15 SD IQ test) an IQ test will lose its predictive power, with this over 99% of people are bellow, theoretically. This is a problem only if they are not close to the this theoretical limit, it would be easy to test som

If growth remains the same I believe people would not complain but it cannot "buy itself" in this scenario, the market would adjust for reserves the company has and the market capitalization would move accordingly. If growth begin to stall

Some days ago a guy pointed right to you why you have so much problems in HN, emotionally loaded text (the "political correctness" is here, you still use the same method apparently), according to him he did the same a year before, but you s

I'm pretty sure MS sells more Windows now than in the 90s, and yet MS is not the almost trillion dollars behemot it once was, there's the prediction of how things will develop in the future that's also an important decision in capital alloc

Schiff also predicted a hyperinflation that never came, actually he just repeated what Rothbard said in some books. He was wrong when he wrote that and still remains wrong, maybe sometime in the eternity he will be right. Actually for me fr

When I lived in the US I had no problem to call girls for a beer, even one that called herself a feminist and studied feminist literature in her MSc... maybe this is just a moral panic where you live, rape is not that common in New England

Your entire comment sounds as something like this "if you're not noteworthy because of something it's your fault". Quite rude. I know plenty of immigrant's children in the US that are not "successful" and they tried hard to find a spot unde

About non-visual stuff I can simply answer that I am more productive with a shell, R, ggplot2 and python than with excel, just because I know this better. This is my stack along with matlab and mathematica in the bank where I work now, both
