We also need more tech co-ops so employees can profit more fairly from their crucial work, because a pittance of low-priority employee shares doesn't really count.

Puppet, a freemium services FOSS model, switched licenses a bunch of times but settled on Apache. Depending on the use-case, there can be legal problems on customers' sides including certain projects in hardware, software, SaaS product

Not another vendor-lock-in package manager. And, very predictably, no end-to-end integrity and nonrepudiation. smh.

If you want to find malware with no AV signatures, look at no-name warez of medium popular and niche professional software, and honey-net via unpatched Windows computers on exo-DMZ unfiltered IP addresses. I saw this one sample behavioral a

This is where fast and reliable caching strategies, and lazy, parallel enumeration come in. I would almost want the .DS_Store to include a summary of a tree's metadata and update what's in view by watching watchable filesystems in

GPLv3 prevents TiVo, AGPL prevents AWS. Puppet has an Apache licensed community edition, and they make money just fine. RedHat, Canonical, and so on.

Yes, in states without "right to work" (for less) and other union-busting laws. More importantly would be for workers to quit en masse and start their own employee-owned co-op so they're not cheated out of profits they helped

Adopt a form of magical thinking, and you too can get extra days off. ;) But seriously, if you're on a flight that still has meal service, ordering ahead-of-time the kosher or veg/an option usually means you'll get yours firs

There is currently no consistent incentives for global multinationals to invest locally when there's "always labor somewhere else." If you compelled local hiring, then the multinationals might stop giving locals the middle fi

There's work underway to make concrete carbon negative "greener" by mixing it in a sealed container and adding other chemicals to it to bind the CO2 and added carbon as a solid component of the finished concrete. I can't

It would sterilize water passing through the system, but not maintain ambient antipathogenicity. Typically, a diatomaceous pool filter, pool sweeper (like the old Polaris... the pool Roomba from the 1980's), chlorination and chemistry

Don't have open office internet: run in through a proxy server so tracking can happen. People are free to use their own devices. Then, during a lunch period, open up the office internet to news sites. Social media should be used on per

Maybe they're expressing their frustrations with Apple in general, but it is weak to exaggerate. And I'm unsure if you're an Apple fanboy or not, but you maybe missing the big picture aside from this article: Apple is now jus

Not surprised after watching Louis Rossmann's rants and demos of brand new MBP's failing. Glad I bought a Lenovo T480 on-sale rather than deal with an overpriced loaf Apple pinched out lately.

It's 1984 kafkaesque. The slowly-boiled frog deserves neither liberty nor safety. What the naïve fools don't grasp is anything they do or any information about them can be used to target them for arbitrary or deliberate police or

Note that most police in the US can locate any mobile number in real-time, usually within 100m, without a warrant.

This article is predicated on a strawman: it's not all the insects that have declined, and not all insects that splatter into moving vehicles, but a limited subset of flying insects.

Lol. I did, like 20 years ago, along with CD's metal-side up and a lit match under a large container. It's nothing particularly new or original.

Before you get on your high horse, you should realize that this is unlikely to be a real emergency. Uranium ore is around an order of magnitude more radioactive than bananas. These officials appear to be overreacting and you seem to be goin

Change departments if possible, or preferably, change employers because it's unlikely to improve and you shouldn't wait around and suffer unnecessarily when other shops exist that are relatively better.

Interesting. Formally-proving a classical processor circuit design (as opposed to the ISA and RTL) must be fun as sequential and bus logic aren't just 0 and 1, as there's high-impedance, time where a result isn't yet stable a

Being paid by the discrete, incremental milestone assures the client you're not messing around and lets them know you expect to be paid after sign-off. Having a net 10 or 15 with a ~3-4% discount is also a motivator to get paid sooner
