Any suggestions for MDM for Linux laptops? Most device management solutions I have seen are for either Windows or Mac, but is there one that is accepted by auditors and is not utter garbage UX wise for the user on Linux, where the user is m

Someone mentioned before (in a comment on another similar news item) that although the rocket is tall, after landing most of its mass is at the bottom: the engines are heavy, while the rest of the rocket is mostly empty fuel tanks. Hence it

Two aspects one might consider when designing a tax is to make sure that it affects each person slightly, so that it won't be worth it for them to protest against it from a cost-benefit standpoint (which also means spreading the tax ov

Without knowing more about the data, one possible cause might be sim cards that are not used by actual humans, but for example by smart meters, security equipment, etc., which only have to report to one central location and thus have only o

Consider the difference between income and profit. For the present value calculation, you would need to use the profit, not the revenue. (After all, once you take the payout, you don't have any expenses.)

Why would a new OS lower the price of the phones? Its the hardware that is expensive. In addition, in case of Nexus smartphones, it looks more like Google subsidised them, lowering the price.

Being able to call libraries in language A from language B is only half of the solution. Automatic compatibility layers won't be able to convert semantic differences between the languages. What you will end up is writing language A in langu
