At least with XML, you can say enforceably say whether the piece of data is malformed or not. With JSON, the best you can do is basic syntax checking. There is no way to enforce the data itself is what it should be
Oh? Then what's this then? Eagerly awaiting your informed and educated response.
It's no surprise that anyone would consider re-inventing the wheel or fixing what isn't broken because you can exchange the unnecessary labor for money. Brilliant!
it's neither malice nor stupidity, it's hyperbole.
TRUMP: We're gonna have the biggest math errors! Way better and bigger errors than the democrats!! Nobody makes math errors better than me, believe me. No one's every had more than a trillion dollar math error. They said it couldn't be done. I'm really smart - I went to the Wharton School of Finance. We're gonna have errors more than, more, er, than TWO TRILLION DOLLARS!
The biggest math error of them all is we are going to pay for infinite amounts of social programs and pay for them with exponentially increasing amounts of national debt. That one takes the cake. Except that's not an "error", that was intentional.
Hanlon's Razor applies here. Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.
That's 'Murica for you! A lot of American behavior can be very adequately explained by stupidity and it's not just reserved for the Republican Party either. Stupidity is not a partisan issue.
Like everything else from this administration, it's a lie. We don't have a functioning democracy any more because we don't have an informed public, sadly.
"this administration", name an administration that didn't have this problem. The problem is more systemic and broken than people may realize.
He didn't harm anyone, it wasn't hate speech, he just made a crude unfunny joke. If people think that's fine, it's fine. If they think he's an idiot, they should ask their network to fire him. If they think he's a hypocrite (as I do) they don't need to watch him. Save legal enforcement for serious things.
I agree but the Snowflake generation has a very different opinion about that.
According to her bio, she got undergrad degrees in applied math and computer science, got a masters degree in computer science, and then got a PhD in education science and technology policy. So it seems she at least knows something about each of those fields.
And apparently also knows a thing or two about political spin and ultra-liberalism. Because... if it's one thing we need more of in the United States it's political spin for personal agendas. </sarcasm>
I agree with your motivation but science has to do with everything if you want to be correct.
science is a process. hypothesis. measurement, testing, evaluation. Repeatable and verifiable
so for example, someone as a scientific study could look at whether mass shootings were linked to communities with water containing a higher amount of some chemical. or whatever.
I realise of course that what that silly cow up top is talking about is NOT that kind of scientific investigation of social issues.
Sorry, I see what you did there but you're wrong or at best grossly inaccurate. Here's why since you seem to want to be pedantic. Draw Venn Diagrams if it helps you. Science is the super set of all sciences, correct? If you want to call Political Science, Psychology, etc. sciences I'll grant you that. That doesn't make all science to have relation to politics. In fact, very little of it does. Now, if you want to debate this, I challenge you to posit a different conceptual model that substantiates your claim like I just did. Your turn.
As a follow up question, I would also ask you what the point of muddying the water to the point that the water itself becomes useless. Just want to be a smartass? That's really helpful to society. *smirk*
In the three months leading up to the March for Science and in the days since, many in the scientific community engaged in heated debates about how political science and the march should be, especially around social justice issues. In the early days of its organizing, the march offered up a strong statement of solidarity acknowledging the complacency with which the scientific community as a whole has handled issues that primarily impact marginalized communities: “many issues about which scientists as a group have largely remained silent—attacks on black & brown lives, oil pipelines through indigenous lands, sexual harassment and assault, ADA access in our communities, immigration policy, lack of clean water in several cities across the country, poverty wages, LGBTQIA rights, and mass shootings are scientific issues. Science has historically—and generally continues to support discrimination. In order to move forward as a scientific community, we must address and actively work to unlearn our problematic past and present, to make science available to everyone.”
(Facepalm) I can't think of the words to describe how disgusting this is that some group of people would mix science and politics. The only point at which science might mix with politics is if politics is in opposition to science for political reasons. But this is different. This is pulling political issues into the scientific realm and that's just absolutely absurd and discredits science. NO NO NO. LGBT rights have NOTHING to do with science. Mass shootings have nothing to do with science. There is a reason why scientists are usually not politicians and vice versa.
Meanwhile Apple sits on 250 Billion in cash.. For christ sake give people a raise.
Yes and others because the money is offshore and they refuse to bring it back into the United States to reinvest because of the 39.6% corporate tax rate.
why can't businesses go back to the model of taking care of their employees and figuring out how to build better products to increase profits
Same answer: not competitive. Taking care of employees requires money meaning positive cash flow. Better products (read more marketable products) are required to do that because products are exchanged for money. Business 101. Your problem is you start with "taking care of employees" you don't start with the foundation required to support the company. Anything not built on a solid foundation will fail regardless of the merits of the idealism it may have been founded on. Idealism doesn't keep companies from going under.
Because consumers have to pay the wages. Auto makers have to hold onto employees well-beyond their usefulness because of union contracts, and you have to pay the charity that keeps those people benched instead of out working other jobs making stuff you're buying with the money you're not spending on cars.
No, no, no and no. It's simple Ford can't compete in the market. Look around and see what brands vehicles people are driving. Consumers are choosing the competition. It's the free market at work.
Wages have been stagnant for almost 10 years even for the A players and unicorns.
There are slightly higher paying jobs (5-10%) you could take but they require twice as much work if not more. Not worth it especially if you have a family. We're still due for a correction because of the recession like everyone else.
Then actually debate moron. How is hampering H-1B visa, pushing for rolling back free trade agreements and suggesting we ought to reinstate the Glass Steagall act pro-corporation? Either debate the points with counterpoints or shut the fuck up.
If '#thanksobama' was a thing, can we start saying #thanksrepublicans? 99% of this entire net neutrality issue debacle has been brought to you by republicans, so this isn't even really tongue-in-cheek.
It's funny how people are still buying partisan politics for being the root cause of these issues. What you really want is #thankscorporateamericaandyoursuperpacs
can we at least _pretend_ we're still a democracy?
If we pretend we're a democracy we're the enablers for the growing Plutocracy. We must deal with reality. Corporate America wants you to bury your head in the sand and be conflict avoidant. That's what allows them to thrive. If you care about Democracy, stand up for it.
Chairman Pai knows what's best and you people need to stop being so mean to the Trump regime. He was elected by the largest margin in modern history and he's the CEO of the country, so if he doesn't want Net Neutrality, you shouldn't complain because he's got the best people around him.
Has it ever occurred to you that Trump is attempting to negotiate with the plutocracy corruption that's been allowed to fester for the past 30 years? You can't really just stand up to them (U.S. Chamber of Commerce et al) and say "hey, we're taking all the things you've enjoyed since the 70's away and you're going to like it." These are very powerful and influential people in this country and it's hard to tell what they would do in the face of a populist president that did just that without throwing them any kind of bone.
I'm not saying Trump is a model president but he's not pro-corporation. Why would any pro-corporation president shoot down free trade agreements, hamper outsourcing and H-1B visas and suggest we might want to put the Glass-Steagall act back in place to stop mega conglomerate banks? That's about as anti-corporation as you can get. That's fighting corruption in three significant areas: STEM, auto manufacturing and big banks. Let me tell you, the people who represent those industries, they are 600 lb gorillas that the last 30 years of presidents were too chicken to go toe to toe with.
Trump is definitely not the poster child for morality but we needed someone to go toe to toe with this corruption and that's what he's doing. The Net Neutrality thing is one of the more least important bones to throw to the wolves. I don't think it's right and it will probably be challenged later and undone. This country is a plutocratic mess. It's not surprising it's going to be insane to attempt to clean up.
Planet-Scale databases? Sounds like they've already started loading their database with everyone's Windows 10 data and metadata.
Nope... they've started loading it with my distributed peer-to-peer statistical noise data generation system. Muhahahaha. Big data. Yep, it's big, a big steaming pile of useless... bits.
At least this is why my fundamentalist brother-in-law tells me.
Don't worry some day Ken Ham, Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort will all share a padded room together. They can all speak in tongues to each other. Should be a grand time.

Try not to make arguments based on such sweeping generalizations - you might learn a thing or two.
You might learn a thing or two if you spent more time trying to learn something useful instead of getting butt hurt over ever little thing.

Microsoft copies Apple. Facebook copies Snapchat. I guess it's the year of copying other people's success instead of innovating.
Well, he's worth $5 billion personally, and I bet it's not all in Snap stocks. A massive pile of $$$ can cushion even the hardest of falls.
Don't care. He should cut his losses and retire out of the public's eye instead of being an egotistical prick. We have enough of those already.
But I would be very afraid of a projected $2 billion loss in 2017 and this: https://www.google.com/search?...
