The assumption is that the plastic from the oceans can be successfully recycled to the right quality product. Not to sound anti-environmental but these issues are often far more complex.
Plastic would be more resistant to potholes then normal material. Being water proof and is a better insulator. However what I see as a big problem is the ground shifting then knocking out a whole road unit with a plow. Unless the decide to keep them heated so you don't need to plow
Not that easy. You have your body part, however you live your life in pain with reduced ability. Or get an prosthetic which your can regain more mobility with less pain. I have seen people with prosthetic limbs and not just athletes, they move around as well as we do and you may not notice an issue until you see the prosthetic.
Journalists have a tendency to try to get people to break the law to get the story. A lot of the time when there is a "No comment" it isn't because they don't want to give their side it is because they are not allowed to. Say a case where a school teacher had injured a student. The teacher or other school employees can't state to the media that the "victim" was a known gang member, or was high on drugs and normal means wouldn't work. If they stated any of that to the media they would be fired. Same things she you try to interview a hospital about the status of a patient. They won't give you any details because of HIPAA. However journalists will often lie "HIPAA doesn't cover Criminals/public figures" trying to get get the person to give the information.
So unlike the risk of say breading an aggressive dog with a strong and powerful dog. Breading traits can be just as dangerous. That pest resistant fruit is giving out poisons to kill the pests can have a negative effect on a person too.
Streaming isn't the same as a live performance. You may hear the difference on a CD or Vinal if you have a good set of speakers. But let's face it. Most of us myself included (with a minor in music from a prestigious music school) really doesn't put the attention to listen to these finer points in music of a song we heard hundreds of times before. Unless you are more then a casual fan.
There are a lot of factors. 1. How long to get to the place I want to be? Public transit doesn't always offer the direct route to where you want to be. So it could take hours in public transit where it could take minutes by a personal vehicle.
2. Can the infrastructure work in a low density area. I live out in farm land area public transit has 0 interests in reaching me, power, and cable only grudgingly offer service in my area. And none of that move to the city crap, any policy towards that will lead to violence.
3. Population control on the public transit system. Most of us do not want to be confronted by criminals, or even mentally distressed people. Heck the introverts among us do not want to deal with a chatty person every day. As well it will need to be kept clean.
4. Will it take you to the last mile? I work for a good sized organization... However it is on an offsite office, miles away from the main location.
5. How will it deal with population growth and changes? Cities get expensive to live in so people move out, suburban locations get expensive so people move to the cities, or they move further out. Every generation. The population shifts, boom towns become ghost towns/retirement communities. Cites become the center of culture to run down ghettos.
In some areas public transit works fine usually large metro areas and its surrounding burbs. After that it gets less effective. Many of the public transit people really doesn't understand that population density is a key issue.
Oracle is only good for huge implementations. I see a lot of organizations that use Oracle but at a level were it isn't nessary. And many of the other product open source and closed commercial are actually quite good, and not like in the 1990's Where you had Oracle and crap systems that peaked at around 500,000 rows. oddly enough just as long as you don't have dumb ass vendors switching to an other database system isn't as hard as it seems. Just as long as you don't make the mistake and become a "vendor" shop.
Such! Quiet!, We want to be outraged on all things. We can be unreasonably outraged from all things, with bringing in logic and reason to the argument. What are you some sore of Unamerican, elitist academic or something.
By that logic if I had an app for my credit card company. If I deleted the app, my balance should be gone, and my account closed. I think the biggest sin here is having a third party app that enables and OS Feature. But on the other hand, having delete an app witch will also delete my account, could be a disaster. As I may be getting rid of one device, or not using it for that app, and switching to an other.
I am all for adds in websites... However many of them had became too intrusive, to take up so much bandwidth, or chew up too much cpu power to make it worth it.
Adds should be relative to the content of the site/page, they should be clearly marked as adds, they in total should not take up more then 20% of the total sites resources. (Bandwidth, CPU, screen real estate... )
I get it, a site offers service free of charge, so they use some space for advertising... I get that. However the goal is to get you to the adds by whatever means necessary, or the add company hijacks the site, then it goes too far.
We watch TV we expect a 3 minute Commercial slot every 12 minutes. It is clear that it is a commercial. When stations go too far. people stop watching that station, as too much of the show is cutoff.
For an enterprise environment there isn't much of an advantage of SSD. 1. You are using rather powerful servers: in general the 20/80 rule is effect 20% of the data is used 80% of the time. With Servers with hundreds of gigs of active RAM, most of the speed is going on in the RAM. With the buffered write, and the occasional lookup of data that isn't there. So you can have a slower drive because your drive isn't being used as much. 2. You should have a good RAID setup. RAID is for data protection and it also offers faster performance too. 3. Redundant servers they just don't sit idle, they do their share of the work too. splitting the usage.
Having SSD for most cases (not all mind you) on an enterprise environment isn't really worth it.
SSD are good for Laptops and mobile devices. So you can access data quickly, with less power. On systems with relatively low RAM. Having an SSD on a Desktop PC, is kinda a crap-shoot, unless you get one of the really high performance ones, you probably won't notice much.
Let me guess you figured if you plugged them in a 220 volt slot you can double the speed. Normally for laptops I have found SSD to be much more relabel, as they get moved and bumped around. Actually I haven't experienced any issues with SSD at work as well?
If a road is abandoned, who gets the rights to that property? If it is public land then does the public still have access to it? If they do does the government have responsibility to keep it safe? If they public isn't allowed on it, how will this be enforced? If the land goes to the adjacent private property kinda like a reverse eminent domain, does the land holder have to pay for this land, do they get it for free. Will this extra land area raise their property taxes. What about getting rid of the old pavement?
The problem with certification is they are normally very particular to the tool being used. So you get a C#.net certification you don't get much skill that transfer to Java or Python or C++. The course is very set on trying to utilize the cool features that sets the product apart and less on using it to solve real problems.
I have a 15 year old computer science degree and when I do programming I know how to research the answer in nearly any language thrown at me. Why? Because the college degree taught me how to learn, not so much on what to learn.
Sure I just recently been using C++ after a huge time period. Yes I have forgotten how many of the commands work. But I know what to lookup and relearn them. And I also realized a lot of the things I learned in other languages are now available in the newer versions of C++ so I am actually more skilled and productive then when I was using it regularly in the past.
Don't you watch TV. Every 80% of the American population live in California, 10% New York City, 3% Chicago, 2% everywhere else. There is a 1/3 chance that someone is an aspiring actor/actress/comedian. Those who do not live in the city are somehow poor/less civilized. And live in shabby brown homes.
I don't get your argument. Perhaps you are letting your political view get in the way of rational thought. F-150 Pickup truck. How does that make bad drivers? They have a higher viewing angle and can see more of the road in-front of them. 85 MPH speed limit. Long flat straight driving area. 85Mph isn't that crazy of a speed. Especially as I have seen New Englanders go 85mph on roads safe at 55mph. How does a gun rack create bad driving? A best I would say it may block your field of vision?
Austin is also a rather liberal city in Texas.
Or should you just go on I hate everything Texas because they voted republican. Do you really think your political vies are that much different or better?
Lying is a self defense mechanism. When someone faces a threat it takes more energy to build up the courage and tell the truth, because our natural instinct is to tell a lie point the finger to someone else. For the most part telling the truth is better long term, but for many of those white lies it is probably better. Now on more of a point. This technology isn't about finding lying, nor is Though shalt not lie one of the 10 commandants. It is baring false witness or perjury. In essence where they need to take your statements as truth. So in this article electronic data is useful in solving crime and if you lied in court then you can be shown that you did, due to more evidence. Was I talking on the cell phone when the cop pulled me over? We can take his word for it, or we can just show the court the phone bill showing that we didn't make a call at that time. Is that acquisition that I did something that day true, perhaps there is digital evidence that I wasn't there. A cell phone log, where I was getting some data at a different location, or on the other side showing that I was indeed there. Now with this technology it can go both ways, that why it is extremely important that we don't have blanket over-site of our data, from the NSA, or other officials, unless via a warrant. We can't have truth cops, or even being flagged for suspicious activity if we very from our normal activities.
That happens more often then you would think. Usually what happens the CEO gets fired with all the little people too. Mergers, Acquisitions, Re-Organizations are things as employees you should be worried about mostly. Mergers - You put together two companies. Now there are a lot of people now doing duplicate jobs, who job can scale up, to support a larger organization. Lets say a system administrator, a good one can say handle 100 servers nearly just as well as 200, their ability won't be cut in half, because they will have/make tools that allows him to monitor and run maintenance in bulk. So we now have 2x the System admins where with the increased size we will only need 1.25x. So chances are someone is going to end up gone. Acquisitions - depending on which end you are on. For the most part if your company is the buyer you are usually safe, if you are the one being bought you could be in trouble. Acquisitions usually happen for following reasons, a failing company is bought to get its customer base: If you work there your job is in serious jeopardy. You will be there until the customers get indoctrinated with the parent company. Then for the most part you are part of the looser company. The larger company who is slowing down buys a fast growing company: Now this is where a lot of Really stupid stuff happens. The buyer often doesn't realize that growth is strongly due to a good corporate culture. And implements their bad culture that no longer works in, just because they are bigger. You are bought because you offer a unique service to complement the company: You job if you are focused on the unique part, is safe, other jobs the company doesn't care about, isn't.
Finally re-orgs: Let hope you made friends with other departments, and worked well with other units and projects. Or you are on a project that is bringing in a lot of money and has a good growth potential. Otherwise you will have no idea on what will go on.

The assumption is that the plastic from the oceans can be successfully recycled to the right quality product.
Not to sound anti-environmental but these issues are often far more complex.
Normally...
Plastic is slippery when wet
Plastic is brittle when cold
Plastic melts in heat
Plastic is flammable
Plastic is a more uniformed structure while asphalt is more jumbled. This jumbled makes it more complex and backups its own downsides.
Plastic would be more resistant to potholes then normal material.
Being water proof and is a better insulator.
However what I see as a big problem is the ground shifting then knocking out a whole road unit with a plow. Unless the decide to keep them heated so you don't need to plow
So the science for global warming is right, however the science for GMO is part of some conspiracy?
Not that easy.
You have your body part, however you live your life in pain with reduced ability. Or get an prosthetic which your can regain more mobility with less pain.

So instead of a controlled change of genetics, you give it a dose of radiation to allow a random genetic mutations.
So unlike the risk of say breading an aggressive dog with a strong and powerful dog.
