It's broken by design. AKA regulatory capture by business. Ever since America made corruption (paying money to politicians) legal it's just been downhill. Enjoy!
Re:Gallium helps convert CO2 into Carbon and Oxygen

So, for $4.3 trillion dollars / year we can turn the 43 billion tonnes of CO2 we emit per year into oxygen and carbon crust. Which is twice the annual revenue for the global oil industry.

Isn't this ignoring the more obvious solution? Why not nationalise them? The value of these networks is in the users. Not the companies themselves.

Not quite. It's a claim on a distributed processing infrastructure. Where every node processes every instruction. So not worthless. But not very efficient.

It's really no problem to do this. We're using a variation on this: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/158400/etc-shadow-h.... The output of crypt (where the input is an email address) is pretty useless if we did suffer a data breach. They'd have to hash every known email address with that salt in order to figure out who had declined an invite from us.

The exciting thing here seems to be cgroups v2 coming out from behind a development flag.
The new design seems to be dramatically easier to understand and just plain better. I wonder how long it will take LXC/Docker et Al to make use of them to improve their userspace offerings?
It sounds like the security model could now be good enough for shared hosting using cgroups to become a reality.

Re:Is this website intentionally bad?

Ya know. It's probably the best restaurant web site I have ever seen. It has the phone number, the address, the opening hours, and the menu all available on the first page. And it loaded in less than a second on my mobile. What an amazing restaurant website. I wish other restaurants would start emulating it.

If you know how to use vim properly Sublime just feels clunky. I'll switch to another editor with composable commands that provides a better interface, but that's certainly not sublime.

Re:A JSON field type for Django
on Friday March 14, 2014 @03:52AM (#7397422)
For myself? I don't want to do a migration whenever we add a new widget to our promotion or email builder, I certainly don't want to think about doing a data migration on every existing document. In this particular case we do not care about the contents of this field. There is already a lot of related information stored in the same row.

Great, I'll definitely do that. Maybe we should have a DM twitter chat on how to generalise it before I submit anything? I'm hanseldunlop there.
