The population of any closed system, whether country, continent, or even planet, cannot grow indefinitely. And any system that expects indefinite growth to sustain itself will invariably become exhausted when rate out exceeds rate in for a sufficient duration.
Immigration alone may be a stopgap, but it is by no means a solution.
You assume too much. There is frequently no asking. There has been (in my personal experience) a lot of demanding, and (yes) entitlement to expect that an opinion from one is more salient than a fact from another, owing only to the heritage or physical characteristics of those that voiced it.
I'm willing to take that risk when the deescalation is to prevent WW3. The time for a world sheriff passed, and using proxy wars is like playing with matches next to dynamite. Why are we bristling for a status quo foreign policy, which was shown repeatedly to be predicated on false terms of engagement?
Can you cite the studies of which you are referring? I had not heard that the efficacy of pair programming is correlated with member seniority prior to this comment.
I use it for kitchen related lookups, timers, and music. The music selection sucks, so I often end up just connecting my phone via bluetooth.
My only custom use was to write a WOL task that targets my Steam Machine so I can turn it on without leaving the couch. The machine is a frankenstein, so it doesn't have any fancy IR receiver or whatever people typically use to remotely turn on a game console.
Going to need you to finish that train of thought. Data aggregation (or power concentration) isn't any more inherently machiavellian than any of the non sequiturs you rattled off.
You are missing that saving a bookmark to the desktop does not provide a different instance of the browser when spinning up. It will just open a tab in the first browser it finds.
Which is horrible if you consider something to be a core piece of software and you are unable to effectively cmd-tab to it. This is more of an OSX issue than windows, since windows will happily alt-tab amongst browser windows. OSX uses a less intuitive cmd-` for tabbing through program instances and still requires that the webapp is running in it's own window, in the same OSX window "Space", it cannot be minimized, and which will crash with the browser itself, irrespective of which tab is truly responsible [taking all your current state data with it].
I'm all for webapps supplanting native apps. But even presenting them as such requires something like Electron, and is completely counter to the trend of managing all tabs [webapps] as crony components of a master "WebBrowser" process.
I'm not. Who has time to fully comprehend (and act upon) this? Especially when we're already working >50h a week to maintain household status quo. It's hard to focus on the state of society's infrastructure when I'm spending every waking moment working to maintain my own. Yes, I know what is at stake, but one avenue is a long burn and the other is a short fuse. I'll tackle the more pressing issue first.
Disclosure: I work in the netsec industry and only signed this because HN brought it to my attention in the rare spare moments between my daily tasks. To use an analogy, I feel like I can't worry about putting out the forest fire if my house is already on fire in the midst of it. At the same time, I'm throwing money at someone that says they'll help me free up more time to do the forest fire fighting. We'll see if I've made a grave mistake in how I prioritize things.
Do you guys post the process by which you compile this image anywhere? I was very impressed the last time I saw you put out an update because I have tried in the past (as a learning excercise) to do the exact same thing. Compiling a kernel that supports docker for the pi was quite a challenge. For me, at least.
Is this surprising when you are charged similarly for print and digital copies despite the production costs being nowhere near the same? Ebooks were supposed to be the cost effective, cut out the middlemen, pay the author directly format.
What wasn't accounted for was that the book indexers have no incentive to pass on their savings to the consumer.
edit: Let's not forget the artificial restrictions imposed by DRM, either. How difficult is it to share a digital book vs physical?
A bit of a nitpick, but I've noticed the trend of several sites to only allow SSO with one, maybe two, 3rd parties. More egregious, no ability to sign up directly.
Are other languages missing something like node's Passport to allow easy integration to multiple SSO providers or is single-single service sign on an active choice that is growing in popularity?
