Pretty much this, teaching people "Office" or "Windows" is the wrong thing to do, the goal is to give someone tools to interact with a word processor, whether that be LibreOffice, MS Word, Etherpad Lite, or another word

Sure, below is a link to some unhappy users posts. If you look on LowEndTalk, people commonly discuss how sub-10MB/s disk IO on the VPS SSD 1 plan is common, and many use these as cheap Tor relays, as OVH does not care what users do. I

Compare how many people are killed, let alone animals per unit of energy produced with Wind as compared to Nuclear. Wind is far more deadly to humans (from accidents) & animals than the public is lead to believe. Nuclear despite its acc

Depends what part of LA your in, but in most cases your absolutely right. Most areas are designed with cars being the prime transport, with sidewalks halfheartedly tacked onto high speed roads. I'd never walk along that by choice!

Pretty much this, if its sub-5 story slum (aka most US cities & nearly all suburbs) overlaying rail is a bandaid. The city was built wrong in the first place, and needs to gain density, rail can keep a dense city economically viable by

KVM & Xen have good support for both in my experience, seems to work well. No clue about support in janky proprietary solutions, but seeing as Amazon, DO, etc all use either KVM or Xen, with the extreme budget providers on OpenVZ (where

Uhh, you got on the wrong ship if you think Ubiquiti has nothing to defend, your employer is a constant and consistent GPL violator[1], and due to the constant failures and overpromisiong on features (TDMA in particular) alongside the serio

And yet there are many thriving GPL projects, running on billions of devices worldwide, from routers to servers. GPL has created an environment where Netgear and Linksys collaborate on developing the same pieces of software, not due to mora

Google wants Geographers with masters degrees to drive their Google Street View cars for minimum wage in Seattle. Their requirements are ridiculous for their lowend positions.

Probably the 91 hour per week limit the article mentioned, if they were clocking 12 to 14hr shifts they would meet or break that maximum hourly limit often. Those are insane work hours!

Its all profit maximization as far as these companies are concerned, at the cost of their employees. Realistically, if a cruise ship primarily docks at a US port, they should have to abide by our laws. Same if they primarily dock in another

The bike infrastructure seems to only exist south of the river (what some would call "real" Austin). Outside downtown there isn't bike infrastructure, and it is dangerous to bike/walk as most streets are built 6 or more

Poor, good chunks of the city have no bus access, I ended up staying in an area that was pretty dense (3 stories minimum) and Google Maps said there was no possible route via mass transit. Turns out the bus is over an hours walk away.

I was just in Austin for 2 weeks, driving in Austin during rush hour is easy compared to Seattle, San Diego or LA. Whereas going 20 miles in Seattle might take me an hour and a half in Seattle at 5pm, that same trip from South Austin to Nor

The DOD's budget is much more of a sacred cow than the Dept of Education's, Lockheed Martin is much better at lobbying than Pearsons. Plus, entrenched interests like CoreCivic are actively lobbying against effective education as i

On the flipside, quite a few developers working in that industry are getting paid peanuts since there are so many people looking to work in that industry.

F5 is just across the water from Microsoft, and there is a lot of cross-pollination of employees between the two. Even if F5 wasn't the best choice, I wouldn't be surprised if they were used just due to familiarity.

Boo hoo, not treating your workers like shit isn't some impossible, gargantuan task. Working your engineers & labor 60+ hours a week makes for great sound bites, but significantly below average productivity. Combined with an employ

You would spend a bit under 2 hours charging en route, but it'd give you time to grab breakfast in Corning, and lunch in Springfield. That being said, having done Seattle to San Diego recently (while passing thru Gilroy), I should have

Elon is a capitalist, through and through. Treating workers well isn't even on his list of priorities, similar to Amazon.

What was the business using? Clover, Rebel, NCR? On the pinpad itself, every vendor has limited control, and as you get into the smaller vendors, it comes down to where they just have to take what Verifone & Ingenico provide.

Entire businesses like Red Hat & Suse are built on the middle ground. There is room in the market for OSS creators to be compensated for their work.

Landline & VOIP providers rarely have a PIN or security question on file, and CLECs like Level 3 (who supplies Twilio and many others) will approve nearly any port since their customers don't keep customer service records for each

Legally there isn't much you can do beyond a snapback either, depending on how the line is classified you have to complete a simple port within 24hrs if the CSR (customer service record) matches. Generally, if the CSR partially matches
