It is the side effect of Free and Open information. Before the Web, While legally had the freedom of speech, being able to publish your viewpoints was expensive, and/or tightly controlled.
A lot of our opinions (including my own, so take what I say with a grain of salt) are just based of our experiences and what we grew up with with learning on what is right and wrong. So me as someone who grew up programming computers, tend to see other problems like a programming problem. Setup a user experience to direct people to make the right choices, put in faults if they go too far off the stray, try to accommodate for variances, and normalize them.
In the past our freedom of speech was mostly limited to our personal communication with other people, Family, Friends, CoWorkers, and guys at the Bar. Many of the founding ideas of American Democracy was discussed and plan at the taverns per-Revolutionary War. Talking to these small groups had smaller amount of impact. However now I can post my idea and be read all around the world, for people to either change their mind or at least consider my idea, just outwardly reject it and argue my points or failures, or complement me if it matches what they are think too.
The problem is every opinion is not edited and we have no good way to fact check all our opinions. I could have the Opinion of an Anti-Vaxer (I don't) then spread my opinion to the general discussion. While 30 years ago, such information I may have written to the editor, and they would have not posted mostly because it doesn't fit the facts, or at worse, doesn't jive with his view. Or I could spend thousands of dollars to public my ideas myself.
Today it is like everyone has their own newspaper, that they can publish for free, with the content of a bar room half drunk discussion.
While we often represent sound as a Sine wave, and sound experts use the sine function to create sounds. It is actually a compression wave, think of spreading a slinky horizontally on a table, then quickly pressing and releasing one end in. Atomically everything is squishy, so atoms are bouncing around all the time, when a force is applied those atoms will be less random in their bouncing and let the force affect them. That is why we have the speed of sound that is different for the material. In Air is is rather slow, vs water which is faster, and a solid (such as steel) which is really fast. However I can see how a wave could carry mass, as the atoms squish against each other, they have a constrained set of mass, while on the other end, isn't Negative mass, but less then then before, because there is a low pressure area.
I would think Germany for handling classified intelligence information would be using Siemens gear or something they have tight control over. I don't see why this is a problem for normal German Citizen, as they are not getting private US intelligence on their personal devices.
Secondly I would think if this data would be via closed circuit where the routes would be tightly controlled. Heck for my work environment, we have numerous closed circuit network connections, with high levels encryption, just to be sure our data doesn't get leaked. And this isn't Classified US intelligence.
Germany while the big fish in the EU pond, is a rather small country compared to China and the US who can compete with the entire EU. Germany really doesn't have the luxury to snub their noses at China, and the US for trade, they are too big to ignore. To the German perspective, the US goods and services are no better in terms of security then China is (Especially with the NSA Spying on the German Chancellor, being leaked)
While I don't take smoke breaks, but I agree, if you are working on a short-term deadline you can push yourself to be really productive if needed, however, after a week I am dead. If it is long term with no breaks, I find my productivity is crap, I will spend an hour staring at a screen without any work, feeling bad about not doing work, however not being able to do such work. Breaks are key, especially if they are encouraged by management without putting guilt on us.
Averages are not precise. But they are good enough for a general rule of thumb. So for a boss who is managing their department, they see the employees taking breaks every hour, vs every 1/2 hour or every 2 hours, where perhaps some additional management will need to be involved.
America is founded by people so uptight that the English wanted to kick them out. The American Puritan Work Ethic is really a two sided coin.
Americans tend to connect their self worth to their career. When someone is having problems the initial response is "You need to work harder!" which often makes us self conscious when ever we are not working. There seems to be something else we need to do. If we are not working there better be a good reason to.
Sure we have Lazy people who will do the minimum, and would take these breaks as excuses to not be working, however for most people if something comes up on a break they would be happy to help.
1. This plat point is relatively downplayed, and is shown from a stance o faulty memory. The scene was less about her being a woman, but just being told she cannot do that, only SPOILER ALERT to show her resolve and getting up to try again after her memories returned. Being that these memories were from the 1970's and 1980's where historically they had Men and Woman's roles in society. The AI which was manipulating the was a shown as a women as well.
2. Technically that was an Alien, the white human male with a major roll was Agent Coulson, who was a good guy.
3. Her flaws is her self doubt, and controlling her temper. But this is similar to most of the Marvel Movie introductions. Captain America was always the good guy, he just got powers, but it didn't change his personality, just how other see him, and what he can do.
4. The challenge is her changing alliances (I think they could had done it a little more dramatically), Overnight she had learned who the good guys are and who the bad guys are changed overnight.
5. I keep on hearing that shows that have a strong female lead being heavy handed, while the fact that she was a woman, had little to do with the plot of the movie, Yes it was brought it . But it never was a major point.
Perhaps you should have watched the movie before doing criticism on it. There are just too many people Afraid of Liberal Hollywood, and project the clumsy tropes of the past onto these newer shows. As a Middle Class White Christian Male, who live in a rural area. Diversity isn't scary or is it threatening to me and my way of life. I notice differences in how other act and react to problems, however these differences give me new perspectives on new problems.
Are you proposing some sort of higher intelligence? Then in that case we can assume that it gave us enough intelligence to solve our own problems. If not then we should do whatever we want because there is no intent. Just consequences for our actions.
But a swimming pool filled with water and chemicals designed to kill anything smaller then a cat isn't really natural.
Details? The worse I heard, is that there was a higher civilian causality count then reported. And some cases where Solders being less then professional and performing some bad crimes (outside the chain of command) which was covered up.
Well we can Strawman this. But just saying you are morally obligated to break a law, is really a cop out. If Manning had a moral objection to what she was doing, she should had quit. Now the difference was if in Germany if you put in an objection you could be killed, so one was forced to do what they find morally wrong.
Historians will look fondly at this, mainly because they have more documents to study. However so far, most of the content isn't that ground breaking, it isn't like she uncovered America doing grossly evil thing, but just bureaucratic quieting of the level of harm they are doing during a war, that is greater then what they tell the media. The biggest news on the leak is how humdrum most of the information is anyways, and why do we feel like we need to classify such humdrum information. That is the biggest part of the leak.
I know Citrix is a godsend for people who have to deal with Software Deployment and updates. But it is really just a gross hack to make software accessible over the network that were never designed to be such. On most Citrix Setups I am able to get more access to apps that I wasn't given permission for. Mostly due to the fact that Windows security wasn't designed for Citrix in mind. A right click here, view file path, or a help file that opens IE. I now have access to applications on the server that I wasn't really meant to have.
If you think Citrix is a good idea, then you probably should be looking at different software, such as more Web Based (HTML) Application. Because you will be better off.
The problem is they are very long, and often express very little. They are mostly defining the terms used, and written in a way to avoid loopholes... Which I understand why, because people will find ways around contracts, however, this makes the document increasingly difficult to follow and for many to really understand for a simple topic.
Most software Terms of services. 1. Don't give a copy to someone else 2. Don't sue us if something goes wrong
Of course these simple terms one can be tricky. By Copy, That means I can manipulate a readme file so it is no longer a copy. Can I sue if you Something goes right. Or that copy from my friend with that newer license.txt file didn't state anything about not suing you.
There are too many people trying to trick the system, vs just enduring it.
How much money will it take for you to murder someone?
While a business is new, it is often hard for the owner to think of selling their company. However what happens is overtime, it becomes a burden on their life and they will want to sell it. They are the CEO's who startup the company. Then they are the CEO who will keep the company running. They are really two different types of skill sets needed. Startups need high energy CEO's who can get their hands dirty and push towards growth, once they reach a particular size that CEO is becoming a micromanager, and getting involved in things that he really shouldn't be doing. They are a very few CEOs who can handle the transition well.
Wikileaks is just as it is, a place that broadcasts leaked information. Its problem is often leaked information isn't complete, and often parts of classified documents that really should be classified can now hurt people. Now most of the stuff leaked was stuff we already knew about or at least assume it happened unless you just into the American propaganda. They were some Russian leaks on Wikileaks as well, and leaks from other countries too.
She is a Traitor to the country. This isn't because of any party loyalty. These were classified documents which she was working on as a member of the military. She chose to be in the military, and work in an area that had such access. This is different then Snowden who was a civilian consultant and wasn't given a way to report illegal actives. Or Assange who isn't an American Citizen.
The President and his cabinet has resigned not the government collapsing. So you "love it when socialism fails". You must be sick in the head, as you get happy to watch people suffer, because you think "I Must be right!"
But to note there is an election coming up soon, in Finland, so a change in power was going to happen anyways.
I expect they can do what they did with the DVD releases of Sesame Street. They can self rate it not suitable for children. This was a product of its time, however now we see it for the subtle message it is portraying, a message we no longer want to teach children. However I don't see getting rid of it, as a positive action, but limit it to a more mature audience, who can watch this, and understand that this is a racist premise and understand it in its time in history. Vs. exposing this to a child who will get caught up in the friendly songs, and making connections in their mind that such things are acceptable and normal.
Sure you can, you just need a solder iron, solder, flux, and some jumper cables.
I think the biggest problem is the fact most of these games are now played online with other people. Too much modification, can open the door to cheating and bots.
Cheaters and Bots were the cause for me to get out of gaming a while ago, and I never really gotten back into it. I don't mind getting killed because someone was better then me, or just got lucky. But if they are cheating it just makes the game annoying, and my view on playing a game, If I am not having fun, then I don't want to play it.
1990's Internet Explorer, A small light weight browser (Compared to the giant of Netscape Communicator) that supports the standards and renders quickly. 2000's Firefox, A small light weight browser (Compared to Internet Explorer) that is secure, supports the standards and renders quickly. 2010's Chrome, A small light weight browser (Compared to Firefox) that is secure,supports the standards and renders quickly.
It seems that the people want a Secure, Small Light weight browser, that supports the standards and renders information quickly. However it seems once they get popular the companies/organizations keep on adding "Would be Nice" features to it until it is a bloated mess with security problems. Then is open to be replaced by something else.
While making a ton of money, Apple doesn't have unrestricted market dominance. iOS is under heavy competition from Android, and most of the companies that can get into the Apple Walled garden also make an Android port of the Apps. Their Macintosh lineup has been very niche lately, and no where near as popular they were over a decade ago.
If Apple were to go out of business tomorrow the total effect would be in general limited. Yea the stock market will bomb, but being mostly consumer devices, the American infrastructure can endure such a loss.
Facebook, Google and Amazon doesn't have powerful enough competitors, to their services. Leaving a massive vacuum if something would happen to them. Facebook just has too many users addicted to communicating with other people, It is too big of a communication infrastructure to be owned by one company. Google for search engine, we could switch to Bing without a big deal, however Google Services such as Gmail, and Docs is used by a lot of businesses. Amazon has been hurting the local businesses by its dominance. If the 1990's Romcomm (And AOL Advertisment) "You got mail" happened today. The players wouldn't be the local bookstore owner being under threat from the big box store. But the Big Box Store being under threat from Amazon. It is actually kinda funny how we were worried about Walmart taking over, now we are begging to keep Walmart alive to prevent Amazon from killing the local economies.
Is it really a web based product if you need a special API to run it. If it is an HTML feature, that these other browsers haven't implemented yet, then that is a different issue.
The issue I have with JavaApplets, Active X, Flash, Sliverlight... is the fact these are not web apps, but executable that just happen run in your browser window.
