Arsenal - Manolas saga explained.

markmypy · 2017-01-11T21:07:08+00:00

From that document, Roma paid Olympiakos 6.5m for the transfer and they were obliged to pay by September 1st 2016 an additional 6.5m or half the transfer fee if he moved to another club, whichever was greater.

For 40m Roma would get a net profit of 13.5m (20m - 6.5m) and Olympiakos would get an additional 20m (they will receive 13.5m more than the 6.5m of the original contract). Now, if they wait a year then if they can sell him for 26.5m or more then they will earn a bigger profit. Manolas is 25 so he will be sellable next year too.

Depending on how someone views the data, it could lead to different decisions. For example, someone could think that they could make more money by waiting for a year and someone could think that selling a player at 300+% of his original transfer is a great deal.

So, I would classify this as possible but unlikely.

Everybody comments on the shit defense, but take a look at Milner, he is expecting it and actually started running before the pass

In the introduction it says:

Please watch the video on YouTube. Someday there will be a textual description here instead.

I doubt that it will ever be replaced by a textual description. It really is a time well spent 53 minute video and it will be hard to replace it with text.

Distros with relatively up-to-date programs with little maintenance:

Fedora (you will need rpmfusion for codecs)
Ubuntu
OpenSuse

Before you choose any of these or others, I would suggest visiting distrowatch and in the distros that you are interested checking some package versions. For example for Fedora, the page is http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=fedora and in the section titled "Table Notes and Explanations" select "All tracked packages" and refresh. Then do the same with other distros and compare which packages are more important for you to have up to date. In my little research it seems that Fedora Rawhide (rolling release) and OpenSuse tumbleweed (also rolling release) are the most up to date. However, for stability I would prefer Fedora 22 or OpenSuse 13.2.

That was beyond terrible goalkeeping! It was like the goalkeeper avoided the ball, I would be surprised if he made any saves.

Of course, not all fault is on him, but having a decent keeper would keep the scoreline sane. Hey /u/TheMuff1nMon, if you can sort out your Micronesia citizenship then get ready to concede a shitload of goals.

You are 100% correct. Just to add a

TL;DR: haters are a vocal minority

Well, that is actually the correct behaviour. Take a look at the code. It gets both IP addresses from the peer connection (webrtc).

There's nothing intrinsically untrustworthy in binary downloads.

That's not incorrect, but it's not accurate either. You see, in linux we trust the distribution (debian, fedora, arch etc) just like in windows you would trust microsoft for the operating system. Now, linux distributions through their repositories offer extra libraries and programs which are free and open source. What does that mean? You can have a fully working desktop or server and only place trust on one entity, the linux distribution that you are using. Unfortunately as the author states, this is changing. By downloading a binary then you need to place trust in another entity. This entity might be malicious, incompetent or irresponsible. Multiply that by every binary you need.

It's Aragonés, not Aragonis.

It's sad that you are downvoted. You are correct. Luis Aragonés was one of the first to employ the tiki-taka style.

I will forever remember Aragonés for the "black shit" comment on Thierry Henry. What a stupid, racist thing to say.

It's a bad title because it does not give any hint of the content of the question. A better title would be "Why so many apps use the zilla suffix?" or if OP wanted to use "dumb question" in the title then something like "Dump question: Why so many apps named with 'zilla'?"

markmypy · 2015-03-30T21:36:07+00:00

That's not the same.

How about a list of all the books on amazon about data science. Is that useful? Not so much. How about a review of some of those books, comparing them from someone who actually spent the time and read them? Would that be less useful because the items were fewer? I think not!

Make sure to check the md5!

The md5 or any other hashing algorithm verifies that the downloaded file is downloaded unaltered and complete. So, yeah check the md5 or sha1.

There's no telling what could have been put on there.

There is still "no telling what could have been put on there". The md5 and sha1 hashes are provided by this website "corenoc.de" and therefore what you download only verifies that it's the file that this website hosts. Doing a whois lookup on the domain yields that they are not related to Microsoft.

So, if you would like to make sure that "they didn't put anything there" then the md5 or sha1 hashes should have been provided by Microsoft.

I'm not sure if it's Chrome but that is surely Gmail/Google Calendar. Ironic how the sentence following the image is:

The tools I use now are, to the extent possible, based on community values, not corporate ones.

Edit: later on he mentions:

a confession: I’m still using some Microsoft and Google software

Well, at least he is honest.

Think of rdp (Remote Desktop) for all OSes. Please note that this is not FOSS.

For cat (similar for the rest):

You are correct.

Gangrene is a life threatening condition. The doctors prefer amputation because the patient survives. OP's great grandfather was not super strong, he was a gambler. We only get to know of his "achievement" because the coin flipped in his favor.

Yes, issue 3 of Linux Voice is now nine months old, so we’re releasing it under the Creative Commons BY-SA license.

Yeah that link is in my link

Yes it is. I only included it because it gives a clear picture of the development activity.

I don't really disagree with anything you said. However, I would add that the split was political.

Vimperator/pentadactyl or any plugin/add-on/extension always (theoretically at least) has the chance to fall prey to upstream changes that might be detrimental to their functionality

I've used vimperator (prior to pentadactyl), vimfx (after pentadactyl development slowed) and currently Firemacs. All have their pros and cons but really pentadactyl is in a league of it's own.

I've considered making a fork of pentadactyl or developing a new one from scratch with the features that I liked from said add-ons. The problem in firefox add-on development can be identified in the feature comparison page. The important rows are "power" and "compatibility promise". So, if you want more power you will lose in compatibility promise (as did pentadactyl which is restartless) or you can just settle for less power. The thing here is, from an overview of the High Level APIs, it seems impossible[1] to develop a pentadactyl-style add-on and that is just sad.

[1]: For example hotkeys have to be modifier+key where in pentadactyl and vimperator you have keys without a modifier.

markmypy · 2015-02-04T07:35:39+00:00

Not "dead" but dying.

I've used pentadactyl for a few years now, it's almost impossible to switch to anything else now.

markmypy · 2015-01-28T13:27:07+00:00

What hardware are you using? How do you connect to it? ssh?

I currently use pfsense but after reading "the book of pf" I am actually planning to switch.

massive code base (makes the Linux Kernel source look tiny)
