Given old inventory, you can lose more than 2 years. For example, the chromebit CS10 got a design award in 2015 and can still found on asus' website with a link for where to buy.. About 1 year of support remaining.

I think a weight loss factor could be added to legal antibiotics to remove the benefits of their overuse.. Caffeinated cows on a rampage might correct the industry.

Suppose racism, discrimination and bullying by the general public were the dominant cause of recidivism.. Would it make sense to allow people from the majority regularly do 3 month sentences and keep members of any minority group indefinitely on their first incident?

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough, when a platform is dying its owner:

1. Tries to capture all profit from the edges.

2. Extracts value "unreasonably" both to grab what they still can and to create an explanation for the death. This could be high fees, ads, or extraction of market intelligence.

3. Begins embracing the new platform with compatibility layers.

4. Starts making 2 offers on everything. One with their legacy and one with the rising platforms.

5. Treats their nonfounding CEO as significant and someone to listen to.

Plenty of companies make this transition successfully (I chose IBM as the example) and make huge profits from not having to charge uniform prices across the entire market. But the discussion was the windows platform being replaced by Linux, not Microsoft profits.

Yes, windows developers with experience are going to go work in the game industry..

Are you aware of IBM in the enterprise software industry? They manage to do almost all of that with their own software and open source rebundled.. No OS/2, almost no 3rd party programmers who are interested in their platform.

That is the future of Microsoft and the non-future of Windows.

Windows is not over? I see Microsoft as similar to IBM now. They will make a lot of money from their Rolodex, possibly more than they ever made before, but they no longer own a relevant platform someone would write new software for.

I used to use virtualbox but I became afraid of being trolled by Oracle using gradually changing license terms a few years back and stopped updating.

I'm curious if anyone knows of a table summarizing these products and what their licensing would mean for a laptop you may take to work, etc?

A portion of the population works in fields like psych where there is standard advice to use unlisted phone numbers to deter stalkers. Given 10 tenants, it is likely one has a good reason to make it harder to picture where they live.

Yes, the intended recipient sentence probably wouldn't be an email if LinkedIn was sending it to an existing account..

But I do think sending unsolicited emails in this fashion is illegal anyway in many places. I always found their attempt to get around this with a specific sender interesting, but I doubt it is universally legal.

Not giving data to police without a warrant who have a story about the owner is competence.

There are a significant number of frauds committed by police (using official resources to stalk, bully, or sell information) and they are caught and prosecuted only when people don't help them bypass things the system can reasonably audit.

I'm pleased that they at least required either a transaction or a warrant. How would they verify that police and the owner are legitimately making the request?

Yeah, I think their fundamental error was making a definitive way to join a future airdrop.

They should have just given coins to existing active keybase users. They would have had healthy increase in users based on regret and fear of missing out again.

Right, I think there's a partial process for what you want and not for informing of key change and I find that backwards AFA security.

I think that's the opposite of what I want? I want to inform people of the new safety number using the old channel and purge all data like a good user.

In this respect a keybase like model makes more sense to me.

Personally, I'm happy to lose the data. I found it odd that with both phones and the SIM on the desk in front of me, I couldn't figure out how/if I could vouch for my key changing in any way.

Needing to say I have a new phone just trust me largely defeats the purpose.

It seems to me like you want an offline cache. How can something local deal with searching the content of a possibly deleted page?

I was using nslookup for decades, but all the distributions were threatening that it was going away.. Looks like that decision got reversed? :)

Yes, I must just not understand Amazon, Google and Apples' commitments to providing free and accurate services irregardless of market conditions. If I did I'm sure I would want them to have unconditional license to repurpose everything.

> Making information about medicines, diseases, conditions and symptoms freely available from a trusted source is a GOOD thing for society.

And this changes how? (You just sent me a link to the real trusted source.)

Making more people happy to go through WebMD like commercial portals that can learn more about the user and sell the data is bad. Adding legitimacy to these is bad.

Is the word eliciting unclear? Alexa gets special help for content to get users to disclose their own medical conditions, bypassing any medical privacy laws.

The court of public opinion is open to desensitization and gaming. You can actually reach the point where people are killed merely to test limits within a safe backlash or to keep the public desensitized.

Thanks that actually is in my install and looks pretty good!

In recent years I've dealt with naming so little that I end up relying on getent, which is great until it's time to look into anything DNS specific.

C) dislike of any advantage given to a commercial company to collect data they could ultimately sell to insurers.

So and so has a higher probability of having X or having X in their family based on the category of questions they asked about X.

Yes, well I can see your narrative.. :)

At any rate, all I am saying is workplaces are astoundingly good at filtering negative information about themselves from past employees and there are plenty of psychologists who can tell you why whistleblowers are rare and often get the brunt of the negativity.

There are a million examples of the Rashomon that don't have the same flaws as using it to discredit what little information you can find in public about a workplace.

Obviously you should not assume everything is true or literal, but if many ex and even current employees are talking then its highly likely they were traumatized in a way that overrides their natural self interest. So ignore them at your peril.

So Alexa gets help eliciting private data from the users themselves? Another great work around to privacy by the UK.

There can be a lot of truth to these stories and often they end up backed up by OSHA reports, etc..

A company can make money and not be a good company to work for, many companies make money by being horrible employers..

I think you are trying to defend things that clearly don't need help defending themselves.

I think this is a poor use of the Rashomon effect.. The CEO messed up and then reviewed the written trail to ultimately admit he messed up.

CEOs fire employees all the time, no one brings up the Rashomon effect then, they just say:

"Good riddance to the toxic guy, everyone knew he was trouble, can you believe it took so long?"

I just needed to do some dns lookups recently and since I never really adapted to dig and don't actually have it on minimal installs, I went straight to DoH (on quad9.)

Memorizing a starting DoH url and the parameters actually seems like a more universal solution to be ready to bootstrap to naming anywhere from now on.

At any rate maybe a good related topic or comparison possibility. I found it interesting that I couldn't find a simple cheat sheet and just had to wing it on the parameter names.

They manage cheap by local standards in many places, but they usually have to use more expensive labor and ingredients in Europe to match both legal requirements and customer tastes.
