Normally an Ideology based on absolutism fails. Government Regulation is Bad! However without it there is a lot of abuse in the system without any peaceful ways to reconcile it. Government Regulation is Good! However too much regulation can stifle innovation and risk taking, because Regulation takes much to long to adapt.
The thing is there needs to be a balance, and to make it worse, the balance point is never in the same spot. Sometimes the needle needs to be towards the left and other times it needs to be at the right. Fixing it in the middle is just as bad as being fixed in either direction, because in the Middle no one is happy.
We see in history good times under a particular political direction, then we see bad times under that same direction. They switch to the other side then things are good again, then they fail.
To answer the question on your subject. I expect it is because back in the 1980's and 1990's society had already portrayed us as the outcast. Movies and TV shows which has the smart person in class being the outcast which no one ever liked and never got the girl, if he did it was often portrayed as the ugly girl in class. These shows celebrated the guy who didn't focus on intelligence but followed his heart. So the guy who liked computers, math and science was the outcast. Media portrayal especially to kids really stick. Now after 20 years of being the outcast, never invited to parties, and basically being treated as a pariah in society, they have a skills that people need. So the power is given back to those tech guys. And for the late 1990's - Today, because people needed the skills they put up with our nonsense, so most never learned to curb their antisocial behavior. Now the big exception is a 5ish year gap from 2003-2008 where the tech bubble popped and companies decided to drop the guys they never liked anyways. So normally the guy who was capable and professional would keep their job. Then after the ecnomic recovery there is a new tech boom, not as crazy as the last one, but enough to bring back a lot of the guys who figure they can just can get away with it.
For-profit companies do not have a legal obligation to maximize profits for its shareholders. That is just a myth.
Not-for-Profit are actually very close to a for-profit. However there is different tax rules, and depending on what you are doing they are stipulations on what you can and cannot due. for example a Hospital which is a not-for-profit cannot refuse to treat patients based on their ability to pay for services. But they may still make excess revenue, which can go to leadership or buying new buildings, like a for profit-company.
I havn't use New Egg in over a decade. But the Grandmother getting the kids the cheap ripoff is almost a trope. But hey I am going to keep my Genuine Cook-e-man cards, they are going to be worth so much in the future.
Big companies do more then miss the rent they just don't pay it, and wrap the property owner in idle threats of lawsuits because of whatever issue they may find. Don't bother trying to fight back, it will cost your more in legal fees to fight back. And your politician will turn a blind eye to you because this big company brings in jobs Jobs JOBS!!!!!
The top single CPU Sorting algorithm can be performed at a speed of O(n) If you can have a processor for nearly every one of your data elements a parallel algorithm such as a Shear Sort can give you a speed O(log(n)) because in essence the longest part of the sort is the diagonal of the square.
When you have a lot of cores like 1024 you can really program your algorithm in a way that will bring down the Big O based on normal sized data sets.
Sure when there is a problem we blame the person at the top, he will point his finger down, until it reaches a person who can no longer point to anyone else. Then they are held accountable.
This is sometime I keep on trying to state at work. This program will help you find things easier. However I cannot program judgement and years of experience, even a learning algorithm may not have data because some things are not recorded. Customer X has been a good customer for years, however this month he is behind, this customer actually called the company and let them know that. The computer algorithm will see the late payment, and perhaps send it collection, it doesn't care about the long term relationship. An algorithm should be allowed to run, however a human is ultimately responsible to but a stop to an action.
That would be expensive. Why pay someone to make a phone call where you can have a script that will generate the Cert after the payment get processed. Nearly all profit. Besides the customer isn't the one getting screwed by getting a Cert. It is just someone else who isn't a customer who will get affected.
I really don't get the point of your post. New Egg sells computer and computer components. In today's economy a lot of it would be hard to find at a store, or you will need to buy it from a bunch of sources. Sure most of New Egg you can probably get at Amazon. Do you just hate everything. As you type AC Posts on a hand me down Pentium?
I never saw the need for all the checking to make sure your keys are from a valid Certificating agency? Just as long as you pay you get the Cert. They are not doing what they really suppose to be doing validating your identity, and validity of the request. So if you buy a cert for newagg.com they should stop and realize that it is close to a popular newegg.com and should dig further to insure what they are doing is what they say they are and it legit. If you are paying hundreds of bucks then they should do more then run a simple script to give you a key.
I finally got myself a computer with a an above average Video Card (NVIDIA) and have been playing the CUDA core logic. It is great, having access to thousands of parallel CPU's can really bring my execution time of code down a Big O level.
However what I am doing only seems to work with nVidia Chips. And AMD GPU's probably will need different coding as well. The main point of C/C++ is write once compile anywhere. However at this point it is still very shaky in support. So any program that uses the GPU for calculation would need to be coded multiple times for different platforms (Or at least with a switch inside the code for the platform particular issues). It reminds me a lot like early C, where you needed to switch to assembly language a lot more, because the default core sets wasn't robust enough for many actions.
The neat thing is 24 could be divided a lot of ways. 1 24 hour shifts 2 12 hour shifts 3 8 hour shifts 4 6 hour shifts 6 4 hour shifts 8 3 hour shifts 12 2 hour shifts 24 1 hour shifts
The reason why 12 is a popular number in Mathematics and Time and measurements. Is because it is very dividable. If for that Nuclear Plant job, I would much rather see 4 6 hour shifts where everyone is more fresh, then having them tired during the end of the shift.
Most of the people I know who work the 8-6 hours are not taking extended breaks. They are just in the office trying to be productive and often failing. Because American Guilt is "Hard work is the key to success" If you are not available during the business hours then you are not working hard, thus you are one of those slackers we universally hate.
As a manager you really don't have to work more hours then your employees. Besides even as a manager or even a boss, there probably is a few hours of downtime, where you just don't have the energy doing any work. So you either goof off in in your office. Or wander the cubes jabbing with your employees telling yourself it is some sort of team building or raising spirits. While all you are doing is distracting them because you don't want to do your work.
However to note, if those other employees who are working less hours, means 2 less hours you need to work managing them.
As you move to management, you should learn to drop much of the fine detail work, that is what the employees are for. You need to focus on the bigger picture and make sure the employees are going in that direction. The further up you go the bigger the picture, and less on the details.
Benchmarking comes into play when you are comparing like devices. But where were these posts when Sun Microsystems was still around and their slower clock speed 64bit risc chips. Were called slow to Intels 32bit high clock chips. While one chip was made for handling high loads for long times while the other was for burst of speed.
That said. Being that high end mobile device are competing against modern mid-tier systems is saying a lot. Back in late 1990s. Your palm pilot would be about as powerful as an 8 year old pc.
Sometimes. In general I like the diversity in the shows which is happening now. For the most part these groups are in the story organically and are playing real people and not stereotypes.
However they are some shows (which are happening much less now) that just try to hit you over the head with it.
With higher risk, there is a chance for higher reward. Broadcast companies have a high cost for a show failure. 1. The cost to make the show. 2. The opportunity cost of having people watch something else on that channel instead. 3. While the show is failing they will still normally need to broadcast for a few more weeks.
These cost prevents them from straying from the normal formula of what to show. While sacrificing a new hit by reducing a huge flop.
Online companies, has the cost to make the show, but after it is made and posted to the servers it is easy money. The people who like the show can watch it anytime. So even if it gritty they can watch it prime time, and not off hours where such people may be already asleep because they have to be at work in the morning. If people don't like it they won't watch it, and Streaming companies have real time reviews and can use such to fix the show, or cancel it, with the rest of the season available (and perhaps just wrap it up)
I can see if you are making something that you plan to semi-mass-produce say with a custom PCB boards. While cheap, is also very under feature, and soldering for your own little project would just take up more then it would be worth getting full computer on a board like the Raspberry Pi or an Arduino. For a single use project the difference between $1.00, $5.00 or $20.00 isn't that big of a deal. Especially if you are going to manually solder it.
We all love to be outraged when some company or government does something that would piss us off. However normally if you dig into the details it isn't someone just trying to mess with you but a complex set of requirements and actions that have happened to cause it. You can disagree with it, but save your outrage until you get the full picture.
It is more simpler then that. The more we have the more we will use. The Average Website today is Megabytes large. Because most of us have network connections in the Megabits range. 25 years ago off a 2400 bps modem this would take hours to download.
Back in the 2400bps or more likely the 14.4k modem days we had games that were playable that worked "online" with such speeds. Doom over Modem? Or Starcraft over Battle.net.
However as speed increased the amount of data we can send to games increased as well, to be playable with what people would call "a slow connection". If we all had gigabit connection, I would expect games would be streaming the video to our systems, So we are not having to deal with High End video cards, and prevent cheating or hacking the games.

Why would it be considered Libel?
I am not saying He is that or did that, I just interpreted his comment to have that meaning.
I would be Libel if I would to say Don't sell stuff to this guy, because he is a bad customer.

This is what I read:
New Egg they messed up on one of your order. You were a jerk to them, so they had stopped feeding your trolling.
The phrase the Customer is Always Right, is just that a Phrase, not a rule. It isn't an excuse to be abusive to a company or an employee.
That would be expensive. Why pay someone to make a phone call where you can have a script that will generate the Cert after the payment get processed. Nearly all profit.
