The problem is the CIA is showing that most of these conspiracies are not real. So this doesn't fit Trump narrative. I honestly think that Trump just wanted to get into office, just to see all the real dirt that is going on, only to realize there was no grand conspiracy, just normal paper pushing, and a few good ideas and a few bad ideas. Trump being a Conspiracy theorist, and not getting the information that he knows in his heart to be true, figures the CIA is against him, purposely hiding information.
Trumps main chip on his shoulder is because he feels like the upper crust is always rejecting him. Hence his appeal to the middle class, who also have the same feeling that the upper class folks are trying to lock these people out. So no matter how rich he is, or powerful of a position he is in, the fact that he isn't accepted as one of them bugs him.
This man really is unfit for the position, and is more or less controlled by others, just as long as they keep his tweeter running.
However how much money did you need to spend on the device to hook up your Christmas tree? You add eggs to your shopping list, fine, but how will it remind you want you are out.
Normally this is click bait more then anything else. And it is the 10 best based on what they know about, and they didn't do a lot of real research to find this no-named brand which is actually superior. Top 10 Cell phone I will classify iPhone 8, iPhone X, Samsung Galaxy 8, Samsung Galaxy Note 8, Google Pixel 2, Essential Phone, Razor Phone, I would probably need to look up what LG has and perhaps Nokia. To seem like I am being fair I would make the most popular phone (iPhone X or the Galaxy Note 8) in the middle, Perhaps putting the lesser known model like the Razor as #1 then put the ones I never heard of around the bottom, then give a shocker with say the iPhone 8 as the last one.
I may have only used one of these phones, but that doesn't stop me from making a list in an order, and using ever changing criteria for each one.
But was the ghost-writer wrong, or being deceptive in his content? I can see someone posting an article that he didn't write under his name, a fireable offense. Being the GMO are often portrayed as the boogie man, Monsanto want to put their best foot forward.
I am not saying Monsanto is the good guy, but you are quite bitter about this, where I haven't yet heard of any major proven problems with GMO. Sure big companies can be hiding them, this is historically a common problem. However there seems to be enough interest to get some big scientist speaking out, if there was a problem. However at the moment most of the Anti-GMO scientists after doing real research have been revising their beliefs.
I don't think your blog is covered by the rules of the FCC. However normally it is to the blogger and the other companies to let people know what are ads vs what are are their views/opinions. The risk is if me as a blogger get paid by say LSung to prays their latest device, and the device sucks quite obviously, then my reputation as a blogger is diminished (if that is possible). Vs if I was a blogger and I was writing about something else, and there was a LSung ad for the same crappy product, being that it was placed in a way that people would know it was an advertisement, my reputation for honest evaluation isn't at stake.
Now these big companies may be able to get away with it, because of their prestige they have some extra karma to burn in case they promote a piece of junk.
Also sometimes it will be difficult to prove the payoff for a good review. Companies will often give free samples to the reviewers (even expensive ones), and such products may always produce a lot of press (for example every iPhone, will get news coverage) so it will be difficult to tell if Apple Paid off the news organization to cover their product, or they covered it because they deemed it news.
Perhaps I am too old, but I just don't get the point of these devices. Security and privacy aside, what do they do that my cell phone cannot? All this cool automation stuff they show on TV requires Hundreds of dollars of equipment, that is replacing, perfectly good existing equipment with a little extra benefit, being worth the price. But to add to the real kicker, nearly all these extra devices can just as easily bet setup on your cell phone. Where there is a speaker where you can asks the same commands and get the same responses.
If these devices also doubled as a high-quality wi-fi router and perhaps had a few plugs in the back to plug in a light switch it may be more worth it.
For the most part what is right and wrong and the balance between fiction and reality is much more firm by an adult, then with a child. I am able to watch media with crude humor, or excess violence, and realize that it is fiction, and not appropriate action. For kids who don't quite comprehend the concepts of Empathy, And my still be mostly ID or EGO in terms of their mental development, can see things and if they classify it as OK so they will do it. Not realize it may harm someone or themselves.
The Pencil in space, has the problem of graphite floating in the air where you breath it in, and interfering with the electronics. We cannot as a culture forbid our children from taking advantage of new media, as a parent we may be able to stop our kids, but not the whole culture. Just as previous generation watched TV, the generation before that had Comic Books. Kids are always exposed to media that is often more mature then they are. The thing is to make sure there are appropriate self regulation in place well before it gets to the point where we need government regulations.
Kids watch whatever they can, and a lot of the content is dangerous or just bad and they are exploiting the children nature to just watch stuff, to bring in add revenue. So the kids are watching inappropriate content via a channel suppose to be safe, made by people who are trying to bring in Add Revenue by the fact that kids will watch any type of crap available to them.
There is the idea that if we take software designed for a slow system and put it on a fast system, it will out perform the same tasks on software designed to the bigger system.
A newer faster device may not work as well on Android Go, vs Normal Android.
For example lets say on an old phone, We don't turn on predictive caching, on some tasks, because the slower device will spend a lot of time predicting what it will need and storing it in memory, so 1/3 of the device performance is saved by not doing this. This will probably speed up the device for its usage, because there may be a 50% chance of not reaching the predicted outcome. Vs on a newer devices where doing the same action only take 1/10 of the devices performance. So the reward of getting it right 50% of the time, is better then the combined attempts of failures.
Different technology components operate at different speeds and have different relationships with each other. So the Ram on your top of the line device may be twice as fast as the old device, the CPU may be 5x faster. The different architecture designs requires different approaches.
Well Jewish, Christian, and Muslim faiths at their core, are the same. Just with some different people at the end of the books with some different focuses of interpretation of the earlier portions. There is enough differences to make them different religions vs just a different sect.
It is kinda funny, how some people think the bible is all about ancient myths with strange supernatural events happening all the time. While there are some occurrences of this, and some of them can be explained scientifically and treated as stories with some exaggeration over the millennia. For the most part it is about wars won, and changes in politics and separating from nations, and forming a new one and building laws for the new civilizations. Under the New Testament, it covered the life and teaching of this guy named Jesus (under the perspective of multiple writers). Some writers have a lot of fantastic events, others are more focused on explaining the nature of his teachings.
I actually don't think the Bible is really good for kids. Sure Noah saved all those cute animals, but afterwords there was incest and a lot of bizarre things. And many of the lessons taught need to be understood in a historical context, and the fact that the civilization that we live in, is much more different. The laws and rules were made for a nomadic type of culture, not for a fixed one, and many of these rules that we point to as in the bible, wern't rules made by God, but were rules made by man to help normalize a civilization.
When parents read parts to the kids, it makes it seem like the Bible is only about ancient myths and faerie tail like stories. because the get rid of the hard to explain stuff that also happens. For the most part religion has over simplified itself, as to appeal with an average of an 8th grade education.
Old school Legos were good. A 7 year old accused me of playing with Legos wrong, because I made something that wasn't in the build instructions. I had the pieces to make a race car, not an air plane, those are wheels not propellers. Today Legos are just expensive model kits.
When I was a kid, Fisher-Price had a toy line called constructs, kinda of a cross between Legos and an erector set (The old ones where you had all metal parts). I even had the set with a motor. So I can setup with belts and pulleys to make all sorts of thing, often making toys from toylines that I didn't own but I wanted. My own transformers, mask vehicle, sky commanders or Ninja Turtle weapon. I rarely ever made the model toys that were in the paperwork. I did study one of the motorized models where it had arms that went up and down, and I was fascinated on how to get movement from a circular motor going in one directions to arms swinging in different directions, So I figured it out, and made different variants of it.
But even with more traditional toys I think it is still up to the parents to help them guide their play. Guide the children in building their own stories with the toys, bringing in out of cannon characters and other toys. Just as long as you don't tell a boy that the action figure is a doll, you are good, if you do you could cause a traumatic sense of logic to their life. Because at first they are like it isn't a doll. Then they think the definition of a doll, compare it to their action figure, and they realize they have been playing with dolls, and this makes them sad.
Lower taxes and increase fines. The federal and state officials look like saints for lowering taxes. While the cash strapped towns are the devils for strict enforcement and high fines to pay off their bills.
The field of engineering is way to broad for a single license. If your job is going to be doing dangerous things, or is somehow considered risky to the public, a license is a good to make sure you have the basic skills to do such a job safely. However if all your job is on a virtual environment, a license is just a waste of everybody’s time and money. An engineer is the job title that you do that covers a broad range of jobs, from creating software to driving trains.
I think he means coffee and breakfast. It actually takes about 10 minuets to cook a good hearty breakfast. There is preparation cooking and cleanup time. Vs just waiting in line for a minute and an other minute to get your food.
Also the 2.50 isn’t really a ripoff. For a guy who is big into investing he should know to look at just the raw materials. There is the cost of having a bulding rented. Decorated in a style to match the companies brand. Then you have at least 3 or 4 employees on staff even if there isn’t any business. Now to the point if you want to invest in money to make more, you should be wise in the little things, brew your own. However if you are rich then the convience may be more worth it then the money you save making your own. So if you are making over 400k a year the minute saved getting the coffee is worth more then the cost of the store coffee. Granted this guy is an investor so his money isn’t time sensitive, but other jobs such as a CEO where times they are not working wastes money.
"Biggest problem in software engineering is the customer who doesn't know its own domain, nor does the customer know what it wants and even less what is the best for the customer. This is especially bad in public sector where software developers usually know the law better than the customer who's job it is to write that law and see that it is used correctly." So diversity in skills could mean you can have engineers who understand these people better. It seems that you are being bitter at your customers for not giving you specs the way you need it. Perhaps someone else who is trained in your field, can deal with these people better and get a better understanding of the problem.
"Other big problem is legacy systems or to be more precise the corrupted data and poorly designed interfaces the legacy system uses which make it impossible to write a new software that would have all the old data but in good shape (because the data has been lost by the old system and because the old interfaces that you need to support force you to make bad design decisions, just so that you can support those interfaces)."
I work with legacy systems all the time, these impossible things is where you need to be creative to find new solutions, so different approaches bring solutions, while your way brings excuses.
Yea you Baby boomers with your OS's that locked up when you looked at it wrong. Code with buffer overflows that caused billions of dollars of problems, VB code that was nearly impossible to install, and ran around the full computer in order to get something done.
Diversity helps with new approaches, experience brings quality. Our IT environment avoids diversity and gets rid of anyone over 35. So we keep on getting the same old app with a new face every few years. I am willing to bet most of these good idea from the Millenials are getting ignored from their Boomer bosses who just don't want to hear about it.
What genetic trait will makes the White male superior to do Computer Engineering? It seems to be too new of a skill for evolution to deal with it. My experience actually working with diverse sets of people doesn't show any statistical trend in skill sets either.
It is, however for sports which requires physical attributes that gives a noticeable advantage, such as being tall. But for a software engineer, just as long as you are able to interact with the computer and have average inelegance, with appropriate training, there isn't any real reason why people of different genders or races can do the job.
However, there is diversity problem in basket ball and in sports in general. Most minority kids who are at a disadvantage rely on sports to get them into college. So they will focus on perfecting their skills in sports to get into the good school. Because your chances as a minority student going against a legacy student in a well names school, chances are you will be left behind, worse, if you grew up in an area that forces rough edges in your personality in order to you to survive.
