Roundup causes some serious cancer.
Maybe its not directly toxic like agent orange, but these chemicals are still dangerous.

But unfortunately? Without safety measures like the Fed enabling such, economies have a history of imploding every fifteen years or so on the basis of insufficient currency circulation. Oh wait, that's where we are today... Carry on!
Commodity-backed currencies also have a problem - they implement their own fractional reserves as economies do grow. When they shrink? End-users learn to trade in the notes for the commodities, shrinking the pool of currency in circulation.
Trump would be right to constrict access to H1B1 visas for foreign workers in the US, in this case.
But we also have a problem of access to those coding bootcamps - everyone has a smartphone, not everyone has a modern desktop/laptop. As far as coding bootcamps, there's also this: https://medium.com/@melissamcewen/who-killed-the-junior-deve...

Here's what employers are saying: https://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2013/03/28/surveys-find...
But a realistic explanation? Monopsony: too few employers competing for workers with any given skill set. https://slate.com/business/2018/01/after-all-the-talk-about-...

Not saying Marx's solutions are best. But he certainly was relevant in describing the problems.
Problem solved? I think so.
Windows proficiency is still considered the standard for computer literacy. Your toy phone can do things, but thats nothing compared to a laptop or desktop.
And theyre making a move on the cloud too, leveraging their dominance in productivity suites. It has been more effective than many here guessed, with FLOSS like LibreOffice competing in the same space.
And they still have those same business practices.
Oh look, a news story about people with full-time jobs having to sleep in cars.

The Hoovervilles are back. Maybe we should just call them Trumpvilles now.
When your business does not pay the workers enough to survive, do the job, and have a roof over their heads that isn't just that of a car? I think we know who the real leech upon this world is. Hint: not the guy tightning his belt by sleeping in his car.
"Savings? People have to think about what they'll do with extra money?! Brother, I'm just trying to find my next meal." -Average American in 5 years.
I'm still perfectly satisfied to remove anything like that from my system. There's even ebuilds out there to install full-featured web browsers without including JIT.
But yet and still we found out. So yes, this security through obscurity approach is terrible (with a code embargo being the obvious exception).
They only update microcode when they have to. When doing otherwise risks... Well, this kind of mess.
You dont wanna know how many times I've rebuilt my gentoo system chasing after retpoline kernel & gcc builds that just... Break everything.
It should be interesting to see how it all develops
And somehow we have the gaul to wonder "why is going to the moon not working?"
Its almost like we're asking for something for nothing. Scientists and Engineers need to eat too. We need to buy new hardware. Train new people. If we wait too long, Musk will buy Cape Canaveral. We've already let Houston get turned into a museum rather than a launch pad.
I dont care how much you're gonna blame bureaucracy for this - this is poor leadership at the helm of our nation to gaslight folks this way.
We have a growing population of homeless folks too "rich" for public assistance. A lot of them already have jobs: https://mobile.nytimes.com/2013/09/18/nyregion/in-new-york-h... And it has only gotten worse since that was published.

Dude, you have to either be drowning in kids or make nothing to fall under the official poverty line. But what catches people's eyes is the rise of those officially falling below that line. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2017/dec/15/america-extr...
Im no bitcoin fanboy either. Bail out, leave the bankers with the bill as revenge for 2008.
It was the wrong application of a brilliant idea - a democratically-distributed, obifuscated DNS replacement for secured communications like TOR seems more applicable than the whims of an unregulated currency.
But this author doesnt see food-sourcing happening. This author doesn't see banks adapting the blockchain for their own internal uses to protect sensitive info. Or anything else you might find in google.
I wanna see what effect Nuclear Power has on the health of the average French citizen.
If we're going to examine power, the US is hardly the place. Only around 20% is from nuclear.
France, on the otherhand - home country to Areva, (Westinghouse's main competition for fuel supplier here in the US) gets ~75% OF Their power from nuclear reactors.
There's a couple upstarts each from Britian and East Asia, but they're not working with our 1950s-70s standards within boiling water reactors. I dont know about much with them and their fuels.
So, here in the States, we have the same companies (Westinghouse and Areva,) operating in a similar regulatory environments with similar technologies...
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4267445/ Here's a link where our NIH disputes previous findings about French Lukemia. Confounding factors were later discovered in the initial study which caused the panic; this study also used a terribly small sample size.
Spain is in a similar Nuclear "envelope" of the industry. Both Westinghouse and Areva operate there. http://www.foronuclear.org/es/ask-the-expert/121594-epidemio... no risk found in the Spanish study.
Then a bad season hits, thanks to climate change. Cant afford food, much less taxes, maybe a mortgage.
Aaaaaaand now we're back to mislabelled sharecropping - or better yet, bottom-dollar buyouts from factory farms that destroy the land, the jobs, and probably your colon, dear reader. Another dust bowl, coming soon!
When is the last time anybody here used bitcoin as a currency?
Bitcoin is those bankers' latest toy. Bankers and their money will hug Bitcoin to death like Redditors to a cute cat gif hosted on a Pentium3 machine.
We already see it - how long is the backlog of transactions that bitcoin rolls over to the next 10min resolution? When I checked, it was nearly 2x as long as the miners can resolve in 10 minutes. Or worse, apparently: https://blockchain.info/charts/avg-confirmation-time
Fucking traders, clogging our currency too much for us to use it, just so they can buy in on the thing that just goes up. It isnt usable anymore for exchange.
They're using the collective wealth of the world (banks, being money safehouses, depositories, etc collectively have magnitudes more money than what circulates in the commercial economy) to try to join in on a craze they usually dont understand. They might just see users paying transaction fees directly, and grow a chub.
When you understand that those investment bankers manage commodities and their futures, derivatives, bonds, real estate, and the stock market? http://money.visualcapitalist.com/worlds-money-markets-one-v... you understand that currency is only a tiny portion of the money in the world, and these idiots manage all of the rest of it as investments. And they're getting stupid about joining in on bitcoin. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-10-05/bitcoin-s...

Consequently, those bankers are now the reason it "just goes up" this sharply. When we run out of banker patsies to join in on the ostensible money-orgy, look for it to drop. The best/luckiest run at the peak. And then it drops. Panick ensues among the bankers... and the party turns to massacre.
Intentional or otherwise, this hype-train turns functionally into the classic pump and dump scheme that youve see spammers do with penny stocks.
(Catch up: https://youtu.be/ytDamqTjPwg Or google 'spam pump and dump penny stocks' for some quick reads)
If it recovers through the "moral"/financial defeat of such a crash by continue operating anyway, only after the rebound can we evaluate the value of bitcoin.
In the meantime? Screw those bankers - sell them your bitcoin until we can have our monetary platform back. Or we could try a different one. I hear Etherium is nice, and has less brand recognition among bankers.
The big difference is Go on one side, and a small selection of config files to support a small/growing collection of hardware on the other.
Is this guy looking to use the existing kernel code, as coreboot does? Or is he going to add to it, to make the One Kernel to Rule Them Allz? Because Im hearing the former, not the latter. I could be wrong.
I wonder how many coders out there don't know about the dangers of global variables in production software, sans obifuscation. Or that can't articlate why an unbounded array is evil, even if the compiler lets you do that.
Seriously... free love was a nice party. But then when public knowledge of STDs arose, the party died down. Today, condom use is on the rise.
Similarly, our free Hobbyist Software love has had a good run. If it dies back, we'll lose a generation of up-and-coming coders. So I guess the message here is jails/containers? Wear your software condoms, kiddies.
He offloaded the whole project onto another team (who mostly backported fixes) that kept it going until early 2016. The rest of us were already in Linux 4.X territory by then.
If you cant maintain it, you can pay someone.
Or, thanks to Github, lets talk about letting the code-literate userbase sort it out themselves. Assuming they care enough.
Or, we could pivot this discussion to the "evils of Capitalism" and whatnot since that userbase probably needs to eat.
Really? A running 3 years out-of-date sqlite install?
Methinks some hackers smell chum in the water. XSS, remote code execution, priviledge escalation, directory traversal... and for most of these, we even have choices on how to attack! Plenty of overflow attacks involved here. Where are the idiot script kiddies when you need them to demo how this ignorance hurts?
And once in to your sql database, I wonder where else we can pivot...
Remember how shellshock shook the world, because the software bedrock was actually insecure? Yeah... your old, "stable" stuff has had holes the entire time.
Stay current. If your OS makes that a challenge, ditch it for a better one.
