There does appear to be a lot of negativity around systemd, such as people giving out about binary logging. I'm sure there's got to be a way to enable text logging along with binary logging.
This lad seems really enthusiastic about systemd logging and systemctl:

There are a lot of interesting features, but personally I'd prefer to have both binary and text logging. Text logging is in cases where a system goes tits up and you may only have access to some basic tools such as grep, vi etc.

>If you're an employee you spend money where you live, not where you work
During the work day most of these people are 40 miles outside SF on self-sufficient campuses, often with free food. That means that during the week they're not in downtown SF supporting local cafes, coffee shops etc. But the same argument can be used for any commuter community, in this case it's reverse of many cities where people commute into a city.

I think the average conclusion is that the device is OK, but if it cheap enough then it may be worth it.

Or the UK:

Laws written originally to thwart the IRA were used to detain suspects and in many cases innocent people, who happened to be Irish, where convicted after confessions were cohered out of them. Can you imagine being jailed for 90 days and being interrogated for that length of time?
It seems plausible that the same thing will happen to innocent Arabs and Muslims whom are in the wrong place at the wrong time.

>Employers do not read my email.
In most jurisdictions your work e-mail belongs to the employer and not the employee and can be read and monitored by the employer. Is Israel an exception?

Go to any "Army, Navy" store (they sell old military uniforms etc).

50% is as much or more than the percentage of tax that most Western Europeans pay and US government entities seem to provide less services compared to their European counterparts. Perhaps part of the reason is the huge portion of the Federal Budget that goes toward military spending?

If that's the case, then it's time for small businesses to take their business elsewhere. The problem is, what other options are there?

But Irish people do, and that's partially the point.
If this can happen in Ireland or Belgium, you can bet that organizations in other countries will consider doing the same thing.
I'd like to start my own company and/or try out for Ycombinator (if they'd restart on the East coast).
I've an avid photographer, like hiking whenever I can get to the country, and try and walk everywhere I go (to counteract sitting at my desktop/laptop/workstation all day).
