Well I googled them. They seem to have LED lights and can play music. You don't need a fidget spinner in general so you don't need a Bluetooth fidget spinner. But it's a toy and Bluetooth features could be fun.
On the grid you have a few hundred square miles target where something can go wrong. Vs your your own power where the target for something going wrong is a few hundred square feet.
They are not working for free. They are working in partnership with you, for the share of the profit. Because you are taking a risk on your business to reap rewards, if you expect someone else to share the risk they should share the rewards.
They ARE NOT FORCED. The choose to take the risk to work in partnership. For some people/a lot of people will not choose this agreement. However if your idea has merit then they just might.
Hiring a person, paying them less then a living wage for a product that may not succeed. Is just bad business. If the person is willing the take the risks they need the reward too. Otherwise you are just abusing your staff.
Like other businesses in a declining market. They will need to downsize their operation, find a new customer source, wining to the political powers to be (they could make a case for either side), or find ways to make their product more appealing.
I actually like the concept of being to go off the power grid as it will be one less service that I have little control over. Everything is so tightly regulated that going off grid and have a power source which I can maintain is appealing.
They are probably probably washed away in the averages. I wish the media would include Standard deviation in their repotting of percentages and averaged. Because because of the factors like child care it may have gave women a wider standard deviation.
What should they be using. If it is a Linux distribution which one. I doubt you can make any choice on a system without starting a flame war.
If you are a Windows shop, then you should stay up to date. The 1990's mantra of always staying a version behind, isn't no longer valid, because of advancements in attackers. Where older systems are just always at risk. Staying current and dealing with the minor compatibility issues as they come up, is less painful then having a major security risk, causing you to clean up all the system, upgrade all the system, and fix a decade of compatibility issues in a short period of time.
Other countries have the right to not purchase US products if they are afraid that it would be used against their own personal benefit.
Countries like Russia with their 3 letter agencies, seems be near a lot missing people who seemed to happen to say something that they don't like.
While in America, we can bitch and complain about anything, including the President. Without fear of disappearing the next day.
For the most part and the US isn't at all perfect at it, the US 3 Letter Agencies are actually focused on National Security, not keeping the current political party in good standings.
What I am more curious about is the quality of the Overweight Americans and pets. My dog is considered overweight for his height, however he is a mixed bread, with short legs and a larger trunk, and he is a solid healthy dog. Americans in general have a higher protein diet, so we are normally bigger and heavier (without being fatter) in general. Also unlike a lot of other countries, we have a mixed heritage. which creates more genetic diversity. However that is one factor. I expect for the most part we are stressed out, so we are eating too much junk food and feeding it to our pets. Thus we are having the bad type of overweight.
The iPhone was a truly disruptive product. It really had set other phone manufacturers back to the drawing-board and took a couple of years before they could come up with a decent competing devices. When the iPhone came out Blackberry was the gold standard in smart phones, And other competing phones were a copy of that or a laptop with tiny keys. Android was still in development. But its design was focused on a system with a keyboard and non-multitouch. When the iPhone came out. It forced all the companies to Change or Die.
It really change the face of Phones to the glass square. Is what we lost from the old phone worth what we gained with the iPhone designs, and should Apple still deserve to keeps its dominance well that is up for debate. But you can't just poo-poo the fact that the iPhone changed how we use mobile devices and phones.
The problem is that Colleges are not for everyone. However the Job Market makes them as a benchmark to what they want.
Colleges are stuck in Victorian Culture, with a rigid set of requirements for success. Historically people with above average IQ were able to pass college. However now that so many jobs require it. Colleges have lowered the requirements, as to make sure people can still pass college and survive.
Now college for me was valuable, however its value wasn't in Job training, most of the stuff I knew how to do before I got into college. But it did teach me on how to teach myself much better which allows me to focus on new problems with far more confidence then if I didn't go to college. But with the Skills That I had outside of college and if businesses would had hired me, I probably could had worked up to a decent job. Higher then some people with college degrees achieve in their lifetimes.
Normally a private person would have to learn how to code it themselves. Or bring on people who are willing to take the risk to invest their time in helping you out, in return they will be able to get a share profit from the success.
This why we need a businessman as president. Someone in business should be able to comprehend that a person can own many companies and not having each company interact with each other.
But we don't have a businessman as president we have a Son of a businessman who used the wealth and fame to more or less just maintain what he got, vs. Actually growing the business. Because if he just did normal investments with the money his dad gave him, he could be much richer.
The real thing is schools need to incorporate serious STEM based disciplines as part of the Liberal Art training, much how they normally push Liberal Arts into STEM based majors.
I saw this problem in college. As a Computer Science Major I needed to take 200 level classes in Liberal Arts which are the same classes that Liberal Art Majors needed as well. However The Liberal Art Majors normally just need to take a 101 level course to meet their Science and Math requirements, and these 101 classes were often tailors for Non-STEM Majors, so they can pass the class without killing their GPA.
As I see it Anyone who graduates from college should be able to understand basic Calculus, Be able to write a program that has nested loops, be able to wire a full adder using Not and And Gates, Understand the probability of getting a genetic trait...
In short you should be taught on how to approach problems in both a technical way and the emotional and philosophical ways. We cant have people graduating from college who get scared at Math, just as much we cannot have engineers graduating who cannot write complete thoughts.
For most tech jobs you can actually pull any person off the street and train them to do the job that is required (I apologize for hurting the feelings of Slashdot readers). However a professional job, requires professional pay. Many companies just don't want to deal with that. So they outsource to cheaper countries, where they pick up their guys off the street and train them to work for less in their counties.
Why would it make you happy? What Google did wasn't a blatant abuse of power, they just crossed the fuzzy line that was EU law. Laws are rarely black and white. Hence why we need judges, to help see both sides and try to make a fare judgement.
With a high fine like that and google can't talk it down. They may just decide that it is too expensive to do business in Europe, and close its doors there. Laying off European workers, and leaving Europeans to either deal with Bing or Alibaba as a search engine.
Well it isn't a monopoly. We have Microsoft Bing as a search alternative. If Google Were to go out of business and close its doors, They are companies and services that could pick right up.
EU doesn't always attack US Companies. However it would be naive to think that the EU won't take care of its self interests before a non member countries.
Free market to an extent is still needed otherwise the push to innovate will diminish. European built products are normally known for its quality, however not for its innovation. So when a brand new game changer innovation comes out from an other country, US, Japan, China, India... Europe tends to get very defensive about it, until they can make their much nicer version of it.
But where is the European Premium Google alternative? China has Alibaba.
It isn't because the school supports raping children. But because if they kept it quiet this guy brings a lot of money and fame to the school.
For the most part the most respected members of society, can easily be protected by their institutions for any wrongs that they do.
We saw this with the Catholic Priest, Boy Scout troop leaders, Bill Cosby when ever there are people who are respected as being the best of us, we don't want to realize that they are flawed individuals as well. However the society protects them and their flaws continue unchecked and often would keep on getting worse as they are untouchable.
Except we are getting into an economy where enterence requirements are getting increasingly difficult. If someone wanted to make it big and they had nothing. They will start work in the business mailroom where they would be able to interact with the other employees learning what they do how they work then getting enough experience to move up to a new department getting a better job. Automation targeting entry level jobs, makes it so much harder to get your foot in.
While the economy needs more efficiency the efficiency should be targeted on creating growth not profits. These kiosk could be good as a supplement to existing staff, for the customer who would choose not to go in the store because of a long line, or doesn't want to deal with a person. So the store with the kiosk can get more sales without reducing staff. Where then they could open a new store to help meet increased demand.
It isn't about hating coal, but about an irrational approach on a perceived attack on a declining industry. People like him and Trump are actually doing them a disservice. The Coal Industry will need to reorganize itself to a market where it wouldn't be considered the primary energy source, using the money made from these companies and their community to help revamp them to an economy where the Coal Mine isn't the center of the community but just one of many good employers. There is a lot of good skills that have been obtained by the Coal workers which can easily be transferred to other sectors, but we need leadership to help lead them there. Right not the Trump American is too focused on putting this on life support thinking it will regain in strength. And the Clinton American is too busy labeling these companies and its employees villains.
As someone who lives in a post industrial town, where most of the big factories are closed down, and the local economy is poor at best. I still see a lot of potential in these areas if the community is willing to get off the idea that somehow they will bring back the factories.
In terms of accounting employees are both. Calling someone who is suffering from an injustice a snowflake is just ignoring the problem. The gender equality in tech is a big problem. These companies are scaring off 50% of the potential workforce due to a bad environment.
People do get forgotten over time. While the effect of her actions may have long lasting effect. Her name will probably will not last long. So when looking for a job, chances are the background checks are not checking for activist fame, but criminal and job skills. Most companies even if they don't want to hire someone like her. May do so especially if she doesn't start ranting during the interview.
Normally for a hit movie with staying power you need a good plot and characters you can relate with. Ep. 1,2,3 had neither it was all special effects Ep. 4,5,6 had ok plots but lovable characters Ep. 7, 3.75 had humdrum plots, and relatable characters The new Star Wars movies are fine. But not exceptional as they one were, but still better than the prequels
I think the problem is they are trying to fill gaps in the story that we had filled in our imagination. As a kid I always saw the move to Darth Vader as a slow tragic fall from an older wiser person who was a real hero however as age sets in he makes compromises for the greater good, until it took him too far. Not teenage angst.
Although I think they should let Star Wars universe die (As well as the Star Trek Universe) as they are a fictional universe of a different age and the new storylines are hacked into the universe rules. But if they are going to continue they should just move forward. The backstory will only lead us to conflict with our preconceived notions of the person. Han Solo for me while had some adventures before they were mostly just petty crimes and doing the odd jobs, getting involved with some bad people and trying to get money. Now this could be an interesting story, but let's do it with an other person someone we don't know and watch them evolve. Not someone that we can observe like looking in the old photo album.
The big problem is the lack of standardization in clothing sizes. Depending on the brand a Medium Sized shirt on me can fit nicely or it could be Tight and I will need to go to a large version, when then becomes baggy on me. Other brands have finer detail on the sizing, but the size number is only relevant to the brand. Then you have the problem with different body types. As a stockier build, many things that fit are either too long, or just tight around the arms and shoulder other than that they may fit.
Except for having free return shipping. Amazon should ship over a Tailor to get your size.
Slashdot Mirror
Because most homes are not built with category 6 cables in the kitchen... Duh!
Well I googled them. They seem to have LED lights and can play music. You don't need a fidget spinner in general so you don't need a Bluetooth fidget spinner. But it's a toy and Bluetooth features could be fun.
