By personal liberty. Means a system that does things like tell you what job you should be doing. If you want to make a living writing bad poetry you should be allowed too, however free market sates that you probably will not get a lot money out of it, as there is such a low demand for bad poetry. Systems where say by the time you are a teenager places you in a career path, based on whatever tests that are popular at the time, and forces people to do what they are told. That is personal liberty. Not Religious liberty, preserving liberty is much grander scope than just allowing people to belong to a religion.
Well please find an economic system that deals with the issue of sacristy, and insures its contributers exceed its detractors. At the same time insuring personal liberity. We go to war over economic systems because the other will affect the haves vs the have nots, or drasticly change the liberties you are accustomed to.
If it is there site, then they should be able to moderate it as they see fit. While we as individuals are entitled to free speech. Such rules do not apply to the distributors. It is probably easier to delete then to correct.
So how can someone without the condition measure it? The dog whistle, we know it is high frequency, so we can measure, and generate frequencies higher than normal perception. But we cannot seem to measure such an instance, nor we are unable to broadcast such message into a persons head (say someone who is already schizophrenic, and be able to send him other messages).
Right now this idea is outside of what we can observe, the easier path is to state that it is an anomaly in the brain. In science the easiest solution that fits the model, is the one taken to be the one to use.
So the 100 people are selected to be diametric opposites. A combination of Religious zealots with anti-thesis, the prim and proper conservative with a liberal hippies, Workaholics with slackers... Normally I would be all for sending them on a one way trip.... However only 100 of them isn't enough.
The first challenge, see how long they can brave the mars atmosphere, figures if it does this enough time he will evolve to a point where he can take the, the other thinks God will just keep them alive.
The general idea behind good engineering. Sit down do all the work and build your product. With Web Development or any software development with a lot of end user interactions. The engineering methodology towards development is doomed to failure, unless you happen to have a large marketing engine behind you to push your product.
The first mistake: Collecting your requirements. In development this is an iterative task. As the end users really do not know what they wan't have of them aren't even sure what advantage your product will have to bring.
The second mistake: Prototype. The idea of a prototype is a functional equipment made before mass production. In software Mass Production is not the issue. So you are actually just making an equivalent of a Clay model. for your prototype. This will at least start to spark their imagination so you can actually collect real requirements, however you get stuck in a lot of complaining, how the colors are off, or you are using the wrong logo, or the fact the data is not saving. You get a bunch of non-requirements from it. As a side note. I once released a prototype software back in the 1990's we just recently got a CD Burner, and a CD Labels that we can print too. So when we distributed the prototype, I printed a label with some fancy graphics, and put it in a jewel case. Some bonehead got his hand on the prototype system, impressed by the graphics on the CD and Jewel case. and Installed it over his version of the software and wrote a nasty level on how horrible the new version of the software was, how half of the screens didn't work, and how he deleted all his existing data. Needless the CEO of the company blasted him back and told him how much of an idiot he was, for installing a software labeled in big writing "PROTOTYPE" and expecting it to work like production software, and also for Installing software he wasn't suppose to install on his system anyways.
The third mistake: Requirements and spec signoff. The requirements and specs are not done until the product is done. Any assumption made early on may be a major issue later. You decided to use HTML Tables and you found out they were slow for large data sets so you needed to switch to divs. Or you were suppose to use divs but getting the CSS just right on the required browsers is near impossible, so you need to switch to tables. The original data format took hours to process, while a different format takes seconds.
In general with modern software development engineering principles don't work too well, as the IDE and coding is the design process, and the steps of making a formal design with a bunch of flow charts etc... Is for a large part just redundant.
This is for software that is intended to end user interaction (Web development). These engineering skills are much more useful for back end type of work. Where there is a fixed process and you just need to have the computer do the work and you really don't care about making it look nice to the end user.
If it is done from a company or a none government organization it considered moderation. If it is because of laws or government it is censoring. When a TV show bleeps out Sware words it is censoring because of the FCC regulations. Valve is trying to maintain a particular image on its message boards so it can and should moderate its boards to prevent it from going bad.
Wi-fi key advantage is the fact that it goes threw walls and a single router can give strong coverage in you home, as well most small offices. This is a point of sight technology. So for home or office it will need to be Non obstructive. You are still better off with wired if you need such speed, the wire will just be more convenant and dependable
That is just putting in your belief that Open Source is just better at security then closed source... I am not disagreeing with the general assertion. However if you use the embedded encryption on the product, then you are more sure that the person who gets the file can unencrypt it. Will it prevent NSA from looking at it... Probably not, but for most people and companies it is good enough. Just to prevent it from being peeked at during transmission. Say a packet sniffer set to flag SSN or something.
Version Numbers in general are outdated for application. The line between a Major and Minor version is huge. We have been on Mac OS X (10) for 14 years. with have been getting point updates over the time. Microsoft during that time has had 4 Major updates (That is with the insane longevity of XP). We have Chrome and Mozilla who for the most part dumped minor versions and we get a Major version every other week.
In my mind a Major Number should be when there is a large change to the system. Going back and rewriting a lot of code, adding/removing features. While the minor version is just a patch, giving better performance, but the core architecture is nearly identical. Still in my mind, there is a lot of subjective debate.
As someone who remembers childhood. (And I am not Diagnosed being on the autism spectrum) kids (even little ones) can be very cliquey. If your child has social problems, the other kids may try to push him out of their games, as games in general about playing by social rules of play, kids with autism may not get the differences in the rules that the version the kids play and make it no fun for them. For a child with special needs play time needs to be monitored, otherwise the other kids will just end up doing their thing and he will be playing by himself, with kids around him.
I have found that everytime I try to write one, my project keeps on throwing brand new twists that makes it harder each time. They are things that do the trick as well just as forcing a format on a text box. However its usage isn't always obvious and sometimes will require additional work.
The part I would really like to see is the UI and the BackEnd were able to have one code for the sanitization checking.
Creating software isn't cheap, or effortless, however once it is completed it can be duplicated and shared at near no additional costs. So using good old Economics 101 supply and demand you have a fixed demand, and an infinite supply, so the market rate for any software is near $0.00 below the cost to make it. Software does want to be free.
The old RMS model of making money off of software is selling the distribution. Putting it on Tape, Disk, CD... Some physical media, then you can add manuals to jack up the price. These physical media reduces the available supply so you can make money off of software. Now with nearly everyone with high-enough speed internet access, such physical distribution of software is antiquated. And not a good business model.
The next method of making money off of software is by selling the service behind it. There is a limited supply of people who know how to use the software well enough to help implement it. So the software is free, but you sell consulting services to help people with getting the software working and maintaining it. This works if the software is sufficiently complex enough that the end user can't just pick it up. If your app is designed to be user friendly, and your customer wants it to be user friendly, then consulting service may not work for your product.
We come to Software as a service, cloud computing, remote hosting.... Where we sell the connectivity to the software and perform the maintenance on it. You no longer have access to the actual software you just interface with it. This method is limiting the distribution of the software and limits the number of people who know fully how to use it. Keeping supply down.
Now we have commercial software. There are Legal, technical, locks on the software to restrict unregulated distribution of the software. So the supply is managed at a level, and the demand of the software affects its price.
The Begging for donations business model. Your model is dependent on updates and fixes, so don't push the software you push the service of keeping it up to date, and frequency of quality updates is your supply which you can limit, and individual demand of keeping on getting these updates will supply your money.
Bias will always happen. However they need to realize that and try to balance their Bias with actual facts, and try to discredit their bais. Things that normally Piss me off on the news... 1. Percentages: The average doesn't give me any sort of picture. 55% support policy x, doesn't mean much, if that 45% that is against it is really against it and that 55% is lukewarm to it, really matters.
2. Power Words: They use a word that makes you stop thinking and just take it as truth. WMD in Iraq is a "Slam Dunk". As well wording it around to make your bias. Pro-Choice becomes Pro-Abortion or Anti-Life, Pro-Life becomes Anti-Choice or Anti-Abortion.
3. Unbalanced debates: Today we have 4 Star General X, and Y who we pulled out of the big protest.
4. No retract section: A proper news organization should have a section where they retract news that they may have messed up on. Even the best journalist will get bad facts.
I would agree. I glanced at these requests. I have 30+ years of developing experience, and a lot of these requests are red flags request where you are expected to read the guys mind, to give them something that is often simple to explain, however requiring a lot of completed development process. I need a program that takes some input (from the User, from the network, or from a file) do some processing, then provide an output. Sounds easy, you can do that under $1000 right?
In general for this type of work, we need to stop the idea of Fixed Price development, and go to hourly. For the US you need to expect to pay between $50-$250 an hour for this type of work. The easier the job the higher the hourly rate. The requester is out to make money with this product, so is the freelancer.
The Daily Show, being a comedy broadcast, is allowed to get away with statements that other "respectable" "news" "organizations" cannot. There is no need to twist the facts as to not insult someone, as they are a comedy show they are expected to insult someone.
While there is a political bias in the Daily Show, at least they don't cover it up like Fox News and MSNBC.
That said, the news in general is too full of politics... There is stuff that is happening, important stuff, that can be covered that isn't in the realm of politics, nor do they need to put a political twist on it.
There are other things as well. The fact that music that these audiophiles are listening on wasn't recorded with devices with such exacting standards.
Modern pop music, tends to take the instruments and vocals and digitally compresses them to get the popular sound right now.
Classical and other acoustic music, do not bring in much money to the record labels... So they are often recorded on cheaper recording equipment anyways. During production they are then digitally altered... When your music goes from analog to digital, there is a quality loss as the actual sound wave data is simulated (to curve out the line). However older analog recording technologies, have their methods of loss as well, and during production you are making a copy of an analog copy so you will get data loss.
If this high end stuff works so well, the only practical use would be for a live sound system for live music. Anything recorded you will get data loss, and this extra equipment will not give you any benefit.
The sys-admin is actually a Windows Admin with a Linux box... He doesn't know better.
The system was setup by the bosses kid nephew who is good with computers, gives everyone admin access because he doesn't know how to manage permissions.
Lazy administrators tired of fixing permissions just gives everyone root access...
Sure we can make fun of the people and say due to their neglect it is their own damn fault... But once it gets in, the damage is real.
If you are a Windows Administrator who happens to get dumped with the odd Linux server. Xnote may seem like a good option for a text editor. Not as scary sounding things like. vi/vim (Ok you got in... Now why can't I type!, or vi short for Virus Infestation) emacs (This sounds like a Macintosh emulator to me) nano (Disk Compression tool?)
Windows Admins are use to Notepad being the default text editor. XNote may be a good pick to choose.
With us living in a mostly Linux world, the idea that there are professionals that don't know much about Linux is hard to imagine, but they are there. And sometimes they will get dumped a Linux box to manage, even if they don't know much about it.
I expect there are some details that are left out. Getting the correct shape to allow it stay on course, using the right material to hold the pressure. Making sure while it deflates it doesn't become to flimsy and direct it off course.
But still for a video it isn't that impressive. A case of over hyping.
I did, calculate that (It shows the days that teachers are needed). THe planned mandatory time off, isn't ideal. But teachers can teach summer school, or get other jobs if they want. However they may not be working during that time. So their work/hour cannot be calculated in.
The point is they are not getting screwed any more than the most of us Middle Class professionals. (Meaning we are still getting rather screwed)
The world of the extremist who are anti-teachers. One could say, during their 6 hour day. They have breaks between classes where they could be grading. Not practical, but you miss the point that Teachers are neither being given a golden spoon or getting ripped off.
We have armies of security specialist working on securing systems across the globe, and still we get issues where data is broken in.
If there is a lock, that can be unlocked, someone will find a way to unlock it without their permission.
Automotive advantage to security is the fact that the access point is always moving, so it would be difficult to maintain a consistent connection. However its disadvantage is there is such a large lage in automotive design that the computers are already out of date by the time the car is released, and updates are not current.
