People who have Pickup Trucks and don't use them for real work, are the ones who do this type of stuff. If the truck is essential for your livelihood, you are more apt to drive it more carefully.
While I have seen some of those, they are still mostly targeted as a Kids show. While adults can defiantly enjoy them, as today cartoons, are being written for a more general audience.
However there should be some engaging shows targeted towards a more of an adult audience, that can still make us laugh, and just have a good time.
The problem is too many people out side of IT, don't have the skills to backup the data. Even just copying the files onto a separate drive, is often witch craft to them, yes even in 2017.
Sometimes a purchase will help expand the brands, such as Marvel + Disney. Sometimes it will hurt the brand Marvel + Sony/Fox.
I tried a lot of the Netflix original series, for myself personally, they just seem to push the dark parts of the stories a bit too much. But that is me, who after a tough day, I usually want to watch something more fun then deep.
ree-gressi-on? What is that some sort of crazy MBA buzzword?
Regression testing, for complicated applications can still miss a lot of bugs. To do a full regression test, it could put the company at a full stand still. I remember the boss asking to process a sample of data with a 5% margin of error. We calculated the sample size, and we needed to process 100,000 records... Giving them that number, no one wanted to do it. So that fell by the wayside.
Not for the Australian bank. How much did this Hack cost the organization. How much would it had cost for the development team to make it right in the first place... Sometimes it is cheaper to do it wrong, and pay for the consequences then do it right the first time.
Rust in my opinion, has not proven itself yet. Once the amateur programmers start using it to make shovel ware, junk programs. Then we will see how good it really is. Right now most of the Rust developers (Not all) are good at their craft and already write careful code.
Once it matures a bit, it will get the immature developers on it, meaning they will stumble on crazy hacky ways to get things done. Making all the variables mutable just because it will be easier than having compile errors.
I remember back in the old days where there were a a bunch of Computer science freshman, who will declare victory and turn in their code for grading once they get it to compile. (without testing to see if it works as directed) While luckily most of these students change majors. But a few will be happy with their 2.0 GPA and get the paper, and a job somewhere.
With modern OS's (Memory Address randomization, have data and Executable data in different areas of the memory ) the types of bugs that Rust fixes by default will prevent a bunch of system crashes vs using low level hacking methods to control the system.
Besides the developers who are good at fixing the low level security problems are often not the same people who are good at fixing logic errors.
I find most bugs comes from management pushing the get the product done quickly. and forcing using the prototype proof of concept code into the core system.
I see cloud services like air travel. Statically it is the safest way to go. However when there is a problem it is a really big deal. Then you combine putting your data in someone else hand, creates all kinds of fear.
However, the real problem that I see, is people using cloud services where they really shouldn't be doing so. If you have the money for a data center and the data you are working with is very customized for your company. Going with a cloud solution usually brings more pain then reward.
However for a lot of small businesses or services that run just like everyone else cloud makes sense.
From the sound of it, Once people tell what is missing they can get it restored. But I figure it is hard for them to do a mass fix, because on how much the data is being used. Sure I bet Cisco could had done something better. But what do you expect when you purchase a big company to do this type of work.
A lot of smaller stores does this as well. Back in the days before every business decision seems to have a deep underhanded conspiracy, they use to call them generic brands, often sold at a lower price. Because you are not paying for the brand name. Or sometimes they will make their own product at a higher quality and put a fancy premium name on it. To get peoples attention.
While Amazon would probably be happy that people may choose their brands. It isn't like there is a huge advertising push to get these brands well recognized.
If you are billionaire and you are living off of 2% interest. That is $20,000,000 a year. Working 50 weeks a year: $400,000 a week With a normal 40 hour week: is $10,000 an hour. $166.67 a minute $2.78 every second.
So giving a kid a Macbook air, is equivalent of 12 minutes of work for a billionaire, vs a full weeks of work for a normal middle class.
The average middle class family would had spend 2 hours of work to get them the iPod Shuffle.
For Jobs, he could probably had laugh off kids loosing a Macbook Air. However I think he was trying to be sensible vs. snotty in his message and wasn't laughing it off.
A $100 gift for lower middle class, may be a big gift, however if lost stolen or broken it wouldn't cause financial stress, as a kid could if needed could save up his allowance and buy himself one (even with a modest allowance) . As a kid, I would had more stress knowing that I got this as a gift from someone who cared about me, and had lost it, more then knowing that I lost a $100 item.
However if a family is stressed enough where they are afraid of the kid loose an iPod Shuffle then they shouldn't bother giving it to them, until they are in a better financial situation or the child had matured enough to care for it.
Well lets see how popular the Air Pods are. They seem too easy to fall out of ones ears and get lost. Granted with my current pair of ear buds they don't seem to fall out even if I am doing a lot of exercise and work, and the reason they do fall out is because the cable gets snagged on something (my arm). However when they do fall out out. It is usually from one ear. and my other ear hold on to it. But if an Air Pod falls out and if I am running, chances are it will fall down into a creak or something. One of the shuffle good feature was a clip, because of its small size it could fall out of pockets very easily. So there was a clip.
Normally if you are wanting/need a technology that isn't widely available. The only option is to get the latest and greatest. If that technology kicks off then and it gets cheaper. There is a point where you can get what you want and need far behind the curve, as it is a matured technology.
FUD, fear mongering, so-called security evangelist...
This sounds like the poster on Slashdot doesn't want to read opposing ideas. Having used torrents they are good way to get dangerous data if you are not paying full attention. Looking for a movie, and it is in an exe format...
Now I don't approve vilify the transfer protocol as torrents actual have a lot of safety features in them, more then normal http or FTP. However the torrent sites a full of shady files, that needs to be checked carefully. However the same is true, if you go onto the darkweb, or just click a couple links off some gamer sites.
Automobiles were touted at the environmental improvement to the horse and carriage. And they were right. However the usage of Gasoline Automobiles have far exceeded the usage of horse so what was a positive environmental trade-off has grown to become a problem, that needs a new solution. And the new solution that we come up with will probably have an other problem down the line that will need an other solution for.
But we want one simple solution to the problem. Cars are not even the #1 polluter power plants and factories are. However Cars are a purchase that we can choose to make. So if you get an electric car you get the feel good, that you are environmental friendly. Vs that Jerk with the Pickup truck. However the problem is far more complex. That guy with the Pickup truck may be actually doing a lot of travel with a lot of moving of a load, so per pound he may be more fuel efficient.
I remember an advertisement for a rail freight company that advertised 500 miles/gallon for 1 ton of product. While trains use more then 1 gallon of fuel for every 500 miles. The amount of weight makes it an efficient use of energy.
Renewable energy sources are getting affordable, so we should switch over to them. Battery technology is getting good so our new cars should start being electric.
We should also find ways to safely utilize the Cities flat roofs to grow trees. There is a lot of things needed to help clean up the environment.
Android was suppose to be Windows for the Mobile. Where the OS and the software are more or less the same on every device. In essence an Android phone is the equivalent of the PC White Box of the lat 1990's. However device manufactures, are trying to be the next Apple. However there is already an Apple, and they are trying to avoid on being the next Compaq->Gateway2000->Dell. Where they may get a boost then drop off the radar.
Lenovo isn't Apple or Samsung. The two brands that they are most well known for are the Yoga, and the ThinkPad.
The ThinkPad brand is more known for quality vs Innovation (Being true or not is open to interpretation). While the Yoga was an innovative design, we havn't seen much more from Lenovo other than basic upgrade to it.
For Lenovo phones, people are not going to be showing off their fancy lenovo phone, but use them in a more piratical purpose. So it makes sense to use generic Android, because people are not flocking towards Lenovo Phone for the Lenovo software.
That and we like to condense every sub group into the greater group. Most PETA people are liberal. Most Liberal people are not in PETA. Is see on the news Liberals goes against thing X that we normally like. Where there is just some fringe group who may be Liberal.
This is like saying all Conservatives are racists. Most racists groups are conservative, but they are not representative of the full party.
I think a quite a lot. I remember in college, because we didn't have to pay for electricity and hot water. We would just leave our PC's and TV running and take long hot showers. We wouldn't bother complain that the one room that has the thermostat was locked. We would just keep the windows open in the middle of winter. Then most colleges have about 20% occupancy of classrooms, where lights and projectors are left on. Then even though all the rooms are not filled, they keep on building new buildings, because we don't want to see conduit on the walls for new technology.
I don't fully buy this studies claims. It appears to be a PETA Propaganda. Issue 1: Pet food including the expensive high quality stuff that doesn't have meat bi-products has what we would call meat meat bi-products, from the cuts of meat that we normally do not want to eat, or from scraps that are too small to package. Issue 2: The carbon foot print of raising livestock has a high variance. Cattle if next to a pond, stream or river. May be getting their water without the needs of electricity. Also there is a big difference between beef and poultry.
