Nope. I really need to be able to test commands on the terminal and then copy/paste them without any modifications. I won't even try to get used to that stupid syntax.

Is there an easy way to run shell commands in Python, like backticks in PERL, Ruby or even PHP?

I'd really like to use Python more often, but most of the time it only complicates things with those verbose syscalls.

Just make the start. When a modern shell becomes reliable and popular enough, it'll slowly replace the old ones.

Yeah, I don't know either. Adding to that list sounds like a great idea.

From a usability standpoint, Apple's UX is genuinely bad.

>though admittedly the installation process is much more elaborate than of Ubuntu

The only thing that's more difficult about the Arch install is that you have to be able to follow written instructions...

GNOME is what you get when you build a team for political reasons instead of hiring good developers and designers.

To make it good you'd have to exchange the whole team first. It's LXDE for me from here on out.

I'll take an Amazon integration that I can disable and that helps Canonical finance Ubuntu over an unprofessional security model any day.

It's important to note that there's a distinct difference between virtual and physical loot box systems. I've seen collecting MtG cards turn into quite considerable theft, but virtual systems are worse, because

* there's no physical item involved

* the distribution in virtual systems can be changed to the customer's disadvantage

When a kid buys 30 card packs in a store, people notice. Also, holding 30 packs in your hands is very different from opening 30 virtual loot boxes, because the packs and contents don't just disappear into some virtual table.

And then, you can be sure that the distribution of cards has been decided before the packs have been put in the store and not changed on the fly to prey on the customer's addiction and make them buy even more.

Physical loot box systems are still addictive and borderline gambling, but the limits are much more defined.

>Pensions

>The currency doesn't inflate uncontrollably

Seeing the costs for pension homes in Germany, I disagree. There is a ton of fraud and abuse (in the billions) and the prices are outrageous. Old people are an easy target and we have a general problem with crime, so that no doubt contributes to it, but overall the example seems to be a bad one if you're in favor of UBI.

I agree, but blocking third-party cookies does break a whole lot of sites.

Apple can do this, because they have a limited yet consistent market share that mostly consists of their own customers.

But Firefox? If they block third-party cookies and Chrome does not, they might just end up losing even more users.

On the other hand, it potentially punishes people for not putting spaces after punctuation. I say keep it like that.

To everyone hoping to wait out the bubble: We have this in Germany and it's been going on for 9 years now. I hope you enjoy waiting.

I'm not only talking about this particular case, but in general. "Accidental" backdoors let companies share data they legally couldn't share.

Look at Facebook and how their API was surprisingly abused for years until they noticed it.

Nobody is "flaming", just pointing out facts. I didn't start the argument though, so I suggest you clean up from the root.

It's amazing how biased you are in this.

As others have said, $1337 for such a bug is pathetic.

The point of a bug bounty is to give researchers an incentive to report bugs rather than sell or abuse them. This does exactly the opposite for me.

I value their commitment.

>While it's true Steam Machines aren't exactly flying off the shelves

I hope they didn't expect anything else. Steam already has a limited choice of games and a console that is even more limited is a niche product at best.

To make it succeed, they need a lot of resources to get GPU manufacturers and game publishers on board (also those who took their games off Steam and created their own launchers). They need both of that only to have a chance to attack regular consoles.

Could this be a scheme to sell customer data?

I assumed for some time that installing backdoors is a good way to sell customer data you otherwise wouldn't be allowed to share.

Nice script, but 10 runs aren't enough to give reliable results. Not even close.

Every browser should have settings to disable WebRTC and it should arguably be disabled by default.

It can be very useful, but can also cause a lot of problems.

Telegram, while good software, is the worst of the messengers, because they're based in Russia.

The Russian government recently asked for the encryption keys and they have like one more week to comply.

CORRECTION: They're currently in Dubai and are relocating as needed.

Every app that has data security as one of its main selling points should be based in the EU. The EU is responsible for a lot of crap, but at this point they're the biggest government institution in the world that still takes protection of user data seriously.

Basing their company in Russia, they knew exactly that the government would come for the data eventually.

>What does "groip at the bottom" mean?

Exactly what the example images show. Move the tweezers as close to the skin as possible, then grab and pull the tick out with steady force.

>Which of you is right?

Most fragile objects break much easier when you twist them, because the twisting causes micro fractures by itself. I don't see why it would be different for the head of a tick.

German and Austrian authorities and independent sources give the same advice [1][2] as the CDC.

So it's pretty much common sense and the advice of several researchers against the advice of someone who wants to sell a product.

>Gripping the tick and pulling up risks squeezing infected blood back into the body

Not if you grip at the bottom.

>slide it under the tick then spin it

Spinning is exactly what can cause the fangs to detach and stay under the skin.

What gets me is that people are usually ok with stuff like this until it's being used to promote ideas they don't support.

There need to be better parking solutions for any of that to actually happen.

>You won't see any improvements from AVs until human drivers are banned

Automatically re-routing traffic when the roads start being congested already works before that and it'll help a lot.

Their open source offering is so great that I'll gladly accept that they're trying to hook customers this way.

Like the other guy said: If you don't like them adding exclusive extra features, pay them for what they're already offering.

Both systems have their disadvantages. Electronic voting, especially when it's not completely anonymous, opens up the voting process for all kinds of vote buying, coercion and intimidation.

Take Turkey or Russia for example. Voters know exactly that the current radical governments can track their ballot numbers, so they'll think twice before voting against them.
