Show me the AP standard, please, because other sources seem to vehemently disagree with your statement. Unless you are still in the cold war, that is.

I reiterate what I said before, please read Factfulness, and then get back to me.

Also, funnily enough, China was never considered a third-world country, but a second-world one, you know, in Cold war terms.

> 9. Global carbon emissions are not reduced, mostly because of lack of initiative by China and 3rd world countries.

Per capita, it's not the "3rd" world countries that are polluting, but the "1st" worlds (https://cotap.org/per-capita-carbon-co2-emissions-by-country...). I'm sad to see someone still referring to countries as "1st" and "3rd" world, as that's an incredibly outdated term. Also to refer to China as a "3rd world country" is astonishing. I recommend you read the book Factfulness (https://www.gapminder.org/factfulness-book/) to get a better sense in how the world works.

Re:Exa, a modern replacement for ls on Friday August 04, 2017 @04:07PM (#14931755)
I used it now for a year (maybe more, I can't remember) and I find it fantastic. It's great, and I can't imagine using plain old ls any more. No matter what people say, I love it.
Hm, good point. Thanks!
Thanks for the constructive criticism. I'll jot them down and get those changed.

I'm not a sales / marketing guy at all so this is all very new to me. Most of my ideas are just coming from various other pages. I definitely think it could use improvement here and there. :))

Re:Ask HN: What do you want to see in Ubuntu 17.10? on Friday March 31, 2017 @12:22PM (#14005313)
- FLAVOR: Ubuntu Desktop

- HEADLINE: Fix hibernation with entire hd LUKS encryption

- DESCRIPTION: I know this is an issue on a grander scale, but as we all know hibernation isn't possible when you have your whole disk encrypted. If this can be fixed that would be great, or at least remove the option to hibernate then.

- ROLE/AFFILIATION: Senior Developer at Clevertech

Don't let people's opinions about languages get the best of you. In the end you need to use what you are comfortable with, as it is about results first, then about optimization. If you're comfortable with PHP, great, use that. If you're comfortable with Python, also great, use that.
