So capitalism is great at fostering individual musical expressions, but socialism helps foster lowest-common-denominator musical pablum. Got it.
(Of course the tiny problem with this theory is that Sweden isn't really socialist. "Sweden is not socialist -- because the government doesn't own the means of production. To see that, you have to go to Venezuela or Cuba or North Korea.")
Nationwide at a number of colleges, though the FBI said that none of the colleges themselves knew of the scheme. Of course, it brings up a number of questions:
1. What good does it do to get your spawn into an elite college if they're not good enough and they'll just fail out? 2. Why not go the time-honored fraud route of just pretending your offspring is a minority?
America, the country that didn't sign the Paris accord, dropped CO2 emissions more than anyone else.
It's currently technologically impossible for renewables to provide baseload power at a competitive, or even reasonable, price, and will not do so anytime in the near future no matter how much religious environmentalists claim otherwise.
Someone at Slashdot seems to be pushing the "Russia supplied Wikileaks with the DNC hack info" theory as fact when it hasn't been proven. We've been hearing this supposition for over two years from Democrats and their media enabler who still can't bring themselves to believe the obvious truth that Hillary Clinton was a horribly corrupt and demonstratively incompetent candidate.
Anyone could have hacked the DNC, just like anyone could have hacked Hillary Clinton's illegal homebrew email server. It could have been the Russians, who regularly undertake malicious activity. But it could also be China, or a leak from within the DNC, or the Awan spy ring, who had access to DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schulz's computers and tablets, as well as those of some 40 other House Democrats.
But the Russia theory is pushed above all because that's the one that fuels Democratic activist outrage and the "Russian collusion" fantasy the mainstream media has spent two years pushing. Which is why we get this piece from the hard-left Daily Beast on the front page of Slashdot.
California's big government system is so pension-debt riddled that Californians pay more and get less, and in return get unsafe streets, failing roads, failing schools, and sky-high housing prices.
The combination of original and advertising has long been the standard in radio, and is just accepted as the cost of keeping the lights on. What's so special about podcasts?
...I think Jerome Bixby, the science fiction author of "It's a GOOD life," the story of the evil little boy with god-like powers, made into memorable Twilight Zone segments twice.
Maybe not the association you should be aiming for, unless you want to be wished into the cornfield...
Seems to have been written (or edited) by someone without a semiconductor background. The biggest question I had was what processor architecture were they building around, something the Bloomberg piece never seemed to answer.
If they mean this it's 48 cores and based on ARMv8. Potentially interesting, but the piece lacks all the technical detail about how Qualcomm intended to position the chip technically against Intel, and what advantages it might have over competing ARM-based offerings.
But "ARM" never even appears in the Bloomberg article...
...increase the value of the money VC funders have put into the startup accelerator?
This will create no jobs and no value. If I were backing Y Cabinator, I'd want to pull all my money out and invest in something that actually creates jobs for Americans (and comes with the possibility of my money earning a profit), rather than waste it handing out welfare.
(Psst: Universal basic Income failed when they tried it in the SIME/DIME experiments, where it discouraged work. Try reading Losing Ground instead of repeating failure...)
You never want to take a wafer fabrication plant offline for unscheduled maintenance, because having a line down costs you $1 to $10 million an hour while you're down. Worse, if you take it down for anything but regularly scheduled maintenance, you have to re-qualify the tool, which can take weeks.
And if you have to take all your etch tools, or all your metal deposition tools, or all your steppers down, because they all run on the same version of Windows 7, then you're burning through tens of millions of dollars worth of opportunity cost while the tools are getting patched and requaled to make sure that none of the hundreds, if not thousands, or process parameters were changed due to the upgrade.
In that environment, not patching is the economically logical choice.
There's some big time causation != causality going on there.
How many people who are already sick/significantly overweight go to a sauna 4 times a week? Even when I had a haelth club membership, I rarely went more than thrice a week.
Sounds like a study whose entire effects were determined by the self-selection of healthy people.
"People who regularly compete in triathlons are 95% less likely to develop diabetes." Yeah, I bet...
Wouldn't seem to me to be a proper function of government.
Best leave private sector investing to private sector investors and concentrate on the actual functions of government like national defense, police, and the courts...
The irony is that China has no domestic semiconductor equipment manufacturers worth speaking of, so they'll still need to buy the equipment from American and Japanese firms like Applied Materials, LAM Research, and Tokyo Electron. Plus they're having extreme difficulty finding qualified semiconductor process engineers willing to move to China.
Plus they stole it for a fab that's still under production, so by the time they are producing chips using the stolen designs, Micron will probably already be fabbing their next design turn/feature shrink...
After the inevitable scooter share startup bankruptcies, the problem will essentially solve itself. The scooters will then be auctioned off in bankruptcy to satisfy creditors.

Reality: "Hey, my cousin Sanjay knows Sharepoint. Let's write the job rec so narrowly tailored that we can get him into the country on an H-1B."

Georgetown, Texas tried to go the renewables route. They ended up paying more and getting less.
Thanks to renewables, Australia ended up paying $500 a day per family for electricity.

Anything to maintain the mass hysteria bubble.
Company after company has moved away from high-tax, high-cost California to low-tax, low-cost Texas.
California's big government system is so pension-debt riddled that Californians pay more and get less, and in return get unsafe streets, failing roads, failing schools, and sky-high housing prices.
One correctional sergeant made $983,6602 in total compensation 2017.
And people wonder why government in California is going bankrupt...
...then, ipso facto, they're not a "Hollywood studio," are they?

But the market for people who need to set up their own email server to hide their graft from FOIA requests would appear to be fairly limited...
Hillary Clinton did NOT earn a majority of popular votes in 2016; she earned a plurality, namely 48.2% of the vote.
Libertarian Gary Johnson earned 3.28% of the vote, and Green Jill Stein earned 1.07%, among the major third party candidates.
Math matters.
I wondered if the industry's most notorious pro-Microsoft shill was at it again, but the byline is for an "Owen Williams."
Could still be Enderle, but hey: Microsoft is a rich company. They can hire lots of shills...

That's pretty much what they do. They're retaliating against Micron because they got caught red-handed stealing their designs from UMC in Taiwan.

Hey, remember all those Google hardware initiatives that were runaway smash hits?
Me neither...
