I think a viable alternative would be to flow the cost down to the elected or appointed officials in charge who created such an environment. The town should have bylaws to force resignation and emergency elections in the event that this hap

I see where you're coming from. This is exactly why Tinder is so popular. Just because I go out on a date with someone doesn't mean I want to be friends with them on Facebook.

I release a ton of my work with open source licensing and I've never thought of it as a revenue stream. If people are financially burdened by making their project open-source; then don't make it open source. Donating something to

I can't wait for this guy to get a car like an Acura or Infinity with software he can tolerate because my guess is 500m into owning it he's going to realize all the BMW-ness he took for granted.

That's not what they're doing though. Apple is in deep trouble sales wise. They're not moving nearly as many phones and their margins are shrinking due to the Chinese/American political climate. Almost every day I hear a

Semantics aside, are you saying that someone with extra compute resources shouldn't put those resources to work to store their personal data to reduce reliance on for-profit third parties? What is your argument here? That people should

One is dependent on the other, no? If I don't have electricity I don't have ANY storage. Mine or Google's. But I can still have mine without Google. It doesn't work the other way around. And Google's got a much

The thing you're missing is the ability to access it from anywhere, without having to carry around devices. The whole reason people use the Cloud is because they leave USB sticks and drives behind all the time. Home Cloud solves the tr

You're not wrong about the benefits of the Cloud. Some people make bomb shelters in their basement, some people stockpile canned goods. I stockpile data. I even have an old text only offline copy of the English Wikipedia. My main issue

I'm really into home Cloud stuff. This answers none of my questions. 1) Where will my files be stored? 2) Does Duple store a copy? 3) What does Duple do with my meta data? What do they do with usage stats? 4) Does Duple have any thir

This looks very promising. I'm curious though, is there any authentication mechanism here? If I have Unison installed does it start a listener and execute whatever code is sent to it?

I noticed in the beginning of the article they claim greater capacity than Li-Ion and then contradict that statement in your quote. Curious to see how that gets reconciled.

Good read, but there is a huge elephant in the room. In many cases vulnerabilities come from complex, messy, disorganized, or just poorly written code. Assuming that the "fuzzification" techniques are implemented by the same devel

I find it noteworthy that the author chose to touch on kmod and driver installation. The fact that mucking about with graphics drivers is so common it gets so much air time so to speak. It goes to show the headaches Linux still has to overc

I'm sorry to hear you may have experienced this. But is it really fair to call it "Mexican" heroin? Is that a bonafide statement or an assumption? Lethal drugs don't explicitly come from outside the US, and in the presen
