The article barely hints at blackmail as a method of getting around those laws. Near the end, it says: >Did his company retain video of the Baltimore officials who could approve or thwart its return? To me, I read that and think they p

Commodity trading platforms are forced by the CFTC(commodity trading regulating body) to represent bids with a blue color, for exactly the same reason. If the bids are green, someone might make the argument that you would profit from biddin

I'm ready. An asteroid is an alright way to go out for me, everything else seems lackluster by comparison. This would be an acceptable early-ending to my normally schedule programming of marching endlessly behind the other humans towar

Not to duplicate other opinions, but I'll add my similar one.. This is GOOD for the market(the practice, not the article). Price manipulation is a real thing, and fact-based research such as this means prices are more likely to ref

Great managers do a lot of things...but I'll talk about a couple of them that matter to me at the moment. Great managers give clear expectations. Even if you operate autonomously, they still provide you guidance on "this is what

A free climb by a 10-year old seems (sadly) a way to have DHS come and take your kid away afterwards :( I'm still impressed, even with ascending devices. For being 10 years old, that shows a lot of patience and deliberation.

If you are familiar with Linux, I don't know why you'd want to switch entirely. It might be worth using though, and becoming familiar with. It's all about your use-case. FreeBSD is a great system, and for what it's worth

Well, if you take away a website were bad things happen, all the bad guys will magically disappear...right? I enjoyed the article, a good read. I hate the topic; government overreach.

From TFA: > Less than 1 percent of the injured riders were wearing helmets. I'm not sure why this statistic was included. All it could demonstrate is "people more likely to wear helmets are less likely to be injured". IE:

The NP did the right thing in a sense though - she went up the chain of command. The person up the chain, however, did the wrong thing. edit to add: possibly the NP went up the chain of command precisely because the doctors there wanted v

Don't use 2FA, if the 2nd factor is anything mobile-based. Use strong passphrases, and type them when you need access to the assets they protect. There is the concept of "security VS convenience", a trade-off you make when

Now I understand, it's not the code itself that has a price(hence the 'THIS IS FREE SOFTWARE' notice at the top of GPL). It's the entire "product" they charge for. Thanks for the reply!

> can repackage and sell GPL code Can you give me some detail about how/when this happens? I was under the impression that you can sell support (or other ancillary services) for GPL'd code, but not for the code itself.

A lot! The devs get to weigh in a lot on this choice, and we chose OpenStack (almost) entirely because of the ancillary stack that comes with it(RMQ, libvirt). Our devs wanted an excuse to spend time with the libvirt APIs, and use RMQ in ge

With Chrome, you also get Chromium, and the ability to see inside(and contribute!) to development. This did not exist in the IE-dominated era. Link to chromium dev: https://www.chromium.org/getting-involved/dev-channel

This article wins - because at the very bottom is a link to K & R's C Programming Language book. Some people like cat pictures, memes, clever saying, etc... I like links anything authored by Dennis Ritchie.

It's an issue because of "sour grapes". The people that had been in the game longer feel the newcomers didn't deserve to win. Feeling that way led them to no longer play - and that is the issue. Fewer players = smaller

This is mortifying and humiliating. It makes me ashamed to be associated(by being a citizen and armed services veteran) with the country. I suppose I could speak out and try to change things...but I fear that doing so would ensure a similar
