You don't have to expect, Amazon's app store is filled with shovelware already.

I'm wondering what the magic in accounting is doing with this incentive structure.

They could afford it if they axed a lot of the administration level positions. I've seen school districts with 3-1 administration staff to teacher ratios; for no provided value.

It's entirely possible they weren't comfortable using a tablet input, or even wanting to learn how to use one. I've seen this firsthand, numerous times in more numerous careers.

Either way, it's important to teach children to use technology so they aren't lost when entering higher education or career environments that will use said technology.

It also doesn't help that dodgy folks started buying trusted extensions. One update of a trusted extension and you're just as bad off as installing a dodgy one in the first place.

I wouldn't think the length of imprisonment would be longer than it would take to see a judge in most cases.

The cycle I'm referencing is usually fail to pay your fines, at some point dependent upon jurisdiction and familiarity to the court, arrest warrant is issued, if caught you are arrested and taken to jail to be held until you see a judge, accrue more fines, possibly repeat.

I'm not making statements that this will happen, only that it absolutely can and does happen to people.

That it is. Viewing the current legal system, in the US, through the lens of idealism does a huge disservice to reality.

The legal system has and will treat a single mother who works full time but just can't make the agreed upon payments differently than a felon that can't get a job that pays enough to cover costs of living and their fines; especially if the felon is in the same jurisdiction and has seen the same judge before. I've seen it several times in person, have been told about it by people that it's happened to, in several states.

Yes, you can. A simple google search would show you this. Criminal punishment debt is not the same as credit based debt. It's all about the jurisdiction, and your previous presence in the court; particularly with the same judges.

Yes, they don't have to jail you, but they absolutely can and do.

According to his own words, yes. I knew lamo for just shy of 20 years.

I will not defend his character; his regular drug abuse and mental health issues could make him unpredictable, mean, vicious, etc. I've never called him a friend, but he was a peer, had a keen mind, and was fascinatingly unique.

I'm not defending him, but as someone that spent years conversing with him and sharing information, both online and in person, including discussions about this exact topic: Yeah, it really messed him up. Anyone that he was comfortable conversing with would say the same.

While I definitely agree on the trans front, it's also hard for infamous people to find employment, and sometimes impossible for felons. Mixing all of those builds seemingly insurmountable hurdles.

Son of Sam laws, and their derivatives, can also prevent her from monetizing her story easily, if at all.

You can absolutely be jailed for not paying court ordered fines; that's often how the legal system in the US works for the poor and marginalized. It's a nasty cycle. Punishment fines also can't be discharged in bankruptcy, afaik.

It's a shame lamo didn't make it to see this. I know it really fucked him up to out her. That would be such a nightmare situation to be in.

I imagine it's going to be hard for her to find employment, and if she doesn't pay those fines she'll eventually end up in custody with even more fines.

Flash shares a lot of the original blame.

As someone else stated, no it was in the anniversary update for stable.

There is a caveat, though. While you can update the Linux packages through apt, bug fixes to actual translation system are only pushed through insider builds currently. That means in order to get the most functional and stable WSL, you have to run insider builds.

Have you tried Cmder[1]? It's a wrapper for ConEmu[2] with Clink[3] integration, and if you get the git-for-windows bundle it comes with a ton of functionality. It also works well with Windows Subsystem for Linux, and is extensible. I've been pretty happy with it while stuck in Windows.
