If they run enough nodes to deanonymize users, it's a dagger through the heart of other intelligence services, but an absolute blessing for the NSA

I'm not a programmer either. I just started running Linux out of curiosity, followed a few "copy-paste this into your terminal" guides, eventually got the hang of it and now I do almost everything in it.

It both is and isn't "a whole language". Most commands just execute a single program with options and/or arguments, except you don't have the overhead of opening a GUI, finding the right dropdown menu, etc. You quickly start to pick it up like you would a spoken language, remembering the "words" for actions, and it becomes a very natural way to think.

IMO the biggest stumbling block is just learning how to type efficiently. This includes knowing about tab completion, history search, putting stuff in your .bashrc and so on.

If pdftk can't do it, then inkscape scripts probably can.

If all that matters is to recognize the best team, then why bother with a knockoit stage, or even a world cup tournament? Just collate stats. The point is to play the game, and if both teams are evenly matched in regular play, to move to an acceptable tiebreaker so that someone wins. France has still come a very close 2nd place, which the tournament does reflect.

I would not want to go to the hospital for a mild ear infection and hear the AI start blasting death metal.

The Ukrainian г is a voiced glottal fricative, IPA /ɦ/. This is as the English /h/ sound but voiced. Southern Russian dialects use /ɣ/, a voiced velar fricative, which is pronounced like /ɦ/ but further forward in the throat. East Slavic dialects turn Proto-Slavic /ɡ/ more into /ɦ/ the further south you go.

Another reason police unions are entirely different, even from other public sector unions, is that the police are used to break strikes. They're structurally antagonistic to every other part of the labour movement.

Isn't Valve known for letting employees work on whatever they want? I'd imagine they already had a bone to pick with MS and wanted to be able to play games on Linux. Before that, things like the controller also seemed like "scratch your own itch" projects. They're good at making pieces that naturally fall into place.

How much are two hundred million microphones in earshot of private conversations worth?

Latin is "older" than English because Latin has been fossilized for over a thousand years due to having no native speakers. A better example would be French and English. Neither is "older" than the other since both are spoken and learned anew every day.

Of course languages known to us only from a certain time period are associated with that time period. They're a snapshot of that linguistic tradition. Living language traditions don't really permit comparisons of age, because they exist in the present.

Regurgitating old critiques of terrible, homogeneous design, then holding up as counterexamples two of the most embarrassingly bad designs of the last few years. I suppose this is appropriate for a marketer to write, since Tesla and "Liquid Death" are just marketing departments with other afterthoughts attached.

I agree with VR being obstructive and awkward, but what percentage of the population would be okay with hooking a computer directly into their brains, let alone a facebook-controlled computer?
