It would love to become a state.

One political party is dead-set against that happening.

This is Google (a) noticing that the krill their diet depends on has been drastically overfished, so (b) looking for a cheap way to effectively take them over.

Google provides the "presses", just add content.

It will go poorly, we'll end up with fewer, bigger propaganda outlets, and Google will get bored with this in a few years and kill it.

FYI, RHV no longer exists.

Replaced by OpenShift, which is a much bigger, much more expensive proposition.

We ran on vanilla KVM for years. We built several things we needed (foremost node failure detection/VM restarts) and fronted it with Foreman so mere mortals could use it.

Today I'd look at Proxmox before doing that - they provide a lot of the connective tissue you need to make it business-usable.

I thought their only loyalty scheme was taking your data hostage.

It looks like a behavior modification program, but I'm not sure why they bother when the OS/App ecosystem is a behavior modification system already.

There are definitely outliers. Another one is law professors - on average they've done quite well.

You can do the math yourself if you like (data here, just adjust for inflation), or just read someone else's summary.

Do you want to pay roaming fees on a 8-ish gig download?

Dunno what your carrier charges you, but most that would be a painful fraction of their yearly income.

Several of my friends are professors. Most of them have been advising students against Ph.D programs for decades. It was obvious in the early aughts that professor-production was exceeding demand, and schools had a vested interest in producing ever more, doing a severe disservice to its custom-uh, students.

The game now really has to be, don't get one unless you have a specific target in mind - definitely title and industry, preferably a specific company you've talked to. You have to recognize the risk and have backup plans.

Basically, do not just keep getting degrees because you are avoiding the real world/really like school/whatever. Maybe a masters, depending on industry.

And being a professor is increasingly a shitty job (from a pretty great starting point, to be sure). Average salary hasn't gone up since the 1970s. (Seriously, look it up.) Culture war bullshit is poisoning the academy, and the MBA-infested administration has decided to replace you with adjuncts who don't even get minimum wage (from that pool of doomed Ph.Ds, remember the big about them working against student interests?). Outside a few schools, it just isn't a good job any more and will keep getting worse.

We are destroying our schools from multiple angles, and seeking work in a declining industry is a very risky bet. There will be something on the other side, but that might take a while and who knows the relevance of your particular Ph.D then.

All advice from a college dropout, salt to-taste.

This story has no relevance unless it was really the act of orca revolutionaries intent on retaking the seas from those irritating land dwellers who keep floating crap all over.

If the most important metric was reducing traffic, blowing the bridges would be the way to go.

But it isn't.

The important metrics are complaints, intra-city transit time and indicators of impacting routine life (like commercial indicators, Broadway, that sort of thing). As in, making the infrastructure work for the humans that live there without blowing up anything important.

If so, they're incompetent.

Why are you wasting your time telling obvious, silly lies in a place where people who know what happened are all over?

You burn your own credibility for in exchange for people laughing at you.

I realize it is The Register, but who cares what Mr. Man thinks of your browser?

Mozilla, the org, is in a bad spot, and I don't expect it to make it over the long term.

The browser is the best of the lot for me. I want privacy, security, and customization.

Chrome is a bucket of ass on the first and the third. I do not intentionally run spyware, end of story.

Safari gets a gentleman's C on the first, mostly because the third sucks.

Once Firefox dies, I think I'll need to pick up my personal proxy development again, because that (together with a block on google IPs) will be the only way to handle ad/privacy/security issues.

In a dish.

Or take a lesson from urban street-parkers. Leave a sign, "Doors unlocked, nothing of value inside".

If people knew he was outsourcing support to the pig butcher outfits, it would impact the economic security of this scam.
