Slashdot users pretend to wage an anti-beta protest, and in turn, timothy of slashdot calls for an anti-spook struggle. Bullshit revolutions all around.
It's been decades since I took solid state physics courses, but here's what I remember.
Conducting solid, like metal, is modeled as a single monolithic entity as opposed to a set of individual elemental atoms. Each atom's high(est) energy electrons become "free" electrons that can move about the whole solid with minimum provocation (i.e., voltage). So when electric field or voltage is applied across the solid, these free electrons bunch up towards positive charge - i.e. the "skin" you referred to.
Because, you know, electrons have a negative charge. Haha.
So when voltage is applied to the solid, and there is a route out of the solid towards positive charge, the free electrons will move that way. If there is also a route into the solid through which new (to the solid) electrons move in, then you have a circuit where electrons flow in and out of the solid (as you say) along the skin, and hence you have current.
That's what I remember of the simple version of solid state model that look at solid's free electrons as a group. Because the free electrons are treated as a group, it doesn't deal with whether the electron that just popped out are new (to the solid) one or the last one in line - the model doesn't give individuality to each electrons.
Not sure it answers your question adequately, but that's what popped into my head. Maybe others will do a more proper job.
Like I was saying, KEEP THE JAVASCRIPT-FREE SLASHDOT, you dirtbags!:-)
We laud Snowden exposing NSA spying on citizens, but on the foreign actors. But then, the guy is a refugee now, and I suppose he has to throw a few bones to those who may consider giving him an asylum.
In the end, it tells us we need better whistle-blower protection laws, so that the next Snowden needs not flee abroad and bargain with the devils.
For a striking example, look to African Americans. See the difference between new immigrants from Africa vs. blacks whose ancestors had been here for generations.
First of all, I'm sure Google/Apple/etc. get to pull some of the cream of the crop, but these guys still don't make the kind of money the Wall St. Assholes make - they are hardly One-percenters.
The dude is truly out of touch with the rest of society.
The UK did that deliberately because the US was taking over as the dominant global power. They figured that they could cut back and simply tag along and assist when the interests sufficiently coincide, since they thought the US was their chump.
This is a structural problem, and seems a tough nut to crack. Ike pointed out the problem more than half a century ago, but there is no apparent solution/alternative.
Amish-style beard, as in clean-shaven cheeks and no mustache.
That's the proverbial (on slashdot anyways) "neckbeard". It's also the Muslim beard style (i.e., beard with mustache shaved). Maybe it's a biblical thing?
One-click purchase, pre-distribution based on "wish list" and purchase pattern, Amazon patent folder's gotta be a bag of laughter. But a tearful one for the society as a whole.

The problem with Medium is that they are a buncha pompous jackholes.

Hey slashdot, keep the javascript-free version.

Eclipse has become a universe onto itself. It's got its own GUI kit, thread model, all kinds of stuff I'm too drunk to name at this moment.
It sucks to be a canuck, eh?
I approve this post.
Back in the days, a few microsofties who worked with/for this guy would chime in with some interesting observation.
Now? It's all bullshit comments, including this one by me.
Herodotus in his History mentioned flying snakes in Arabia/Egypt. Many considered it one of the more fanciful tales in that work.

You replicate those genes by 3d printing, and offer them for bitcoins, and that's how you end up on slashdot.
PC jr reminds me of the Collecovision pc thingy with tape recorder built in.
You are not a lawyer, are you?
You read the headline, and it's posted by samzenpus, and you know it's bullshit.
Here is a case where "bullshit" is an understatement.

I don't know. Something like this supersede geopolitics, nationalism, etc., at least for now.
Good luck, Chinese comrades.

This outfit is scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Decent submitters are mostly gone, and only ones left are click-bait trolls, dumb kids, and whinny bored geezers like me.

Cooking up Android costs money. You expect Google to pour all that money for nothing?
Chain-smoking, soju-drinking, samgyopsal-devouring, whore-chasing, and what else? Oh yeah, "kiss my shiny kimchi-farting ass."

Maybe they'll keep XP on life support until they get Win9 out.
Ran out of igloos?
