So how much does the Department of Education (DoE) currently devote to STEM field grants?
Quite probably more than 200M. I know it was well funded. It's a common practice to talk about how big an absolute number you're assigning to a program when cutting it.
Fun fact, the websites about STEM funding on the Dept. of Ed. website still talk exclusively about Obama and his programs.
If the only jobs left are super-advanced, high brain-function type jobs, then 99% of the world just won't be doing much.
We interface to the world through machines. It seems like a lot of those actions will be easily taken over by machines, talking to each other. The last jobs will be service jobs that cannot be automated, but I imagine those are things like "waiter at fancy restaurant", where the hangups are more social than anything else.
You left out both the broadcast interracial and same-gendered kisses (the second being on DSN). Russians and Chinese people being our friends instead of hated communists.
And I'm not sure lack of money was all there was to the post-scarcity utopian economic system. Being entitled to whatever you wanted was literally the point. That said, it really did posit a world where there more important things than accumulating things, not just that there were infinite things.
No one who does diamond inheritance (in C++, because it's like the only language that allows it) doesn't know it's extremely dangerous. It is done rarely for that reason. Hence, templates/abstract classes were introduced. They solved the problem so well that subsequent languages removed it.
Besides, those exact same problems exist, and the same solutions to them exist, in prototype based languages. In fact, the analogs to diamond inheritance exist, but not necessarily the analogs to templates.
Wow, that's really interesting. Mind letting me know what I should search for so I can see myself? Then again, totally understand if you don't want to ID yourself by locality and/or type of company you do business with.
You have a presence in social media even if you've never created an account. You know those little 'f' icons you see on websites which link back to Facebook?
, why can't P&G and its 11-figure marketing budget figure out how to sell some laundry detergent?
They sell something like 90% of the detergent in the world under a variety of names. They have trouble getting more people to buy their detergent for the same reason Facebook is having trouble getting people signed up - the population of the world is an upperlimit.
The "ai" refers to "advertising/advertisement id". "Advertising Id" would imply it's an ID for the user; "Advertisement ID" would imply it's an ID for the ad itself.
What they found is that the most effective keywords were people who google their company already, and click on the ad, because it looks like the first result, expecting it to be a link to the company. So, they could just not pay Google to, you know, act as a search engine to themselves.
I believe 20/10 vision is required for flying jets.
I'm sure the token of appreciation is an introduction to a contractor the NSA uses that can pay more than G-rating, which will lead to an immediate offer.
My entire point is that ignoring standards ups the "Y" in your story. Literally, that's it. There's not much in that situation that really is likely to change... except X and Y. If something makes those two cross (cheaper security/costlier fines), then that changes the story.
And, they most certainly can cross. They have in the past for some conditions, and they will again for others in the future.
On the contrary, standards are super important. If not having a security.txt was considered as negligence by the courts, you'd find many companies needing to add them in order for certifications or to not face crazy damages in the case of a breach. An objective, easy standard like security.txt makes that significantly more likely than anything that requires technical expertise.
Further, it will lead to standardized/codified standards to respond and cascade in that manner.
For a pedant, you're pretty wrong. First, your vote does absolutely nothing to "tell an elector" how to vote. What it does is select which elector will be casting a vote. Separate state laws may threaten an elector who doesn't vote for whomever he pledged to, but whether those are enforceable is in question and the penalties tend towards cosmetic only. Second, everyone votes for a "slate" of electors, minimum of three.
So, just in case you're wondering, I have problems with literally every word of "telling a singular individual how to vote."
They're tied into a verification system that has only knowledge of the ID as proof. While it's possible to change that, easy to replace the whole system than deal with adding verification to the various systems.
Plus, it's hardly futureproof, since it's so used up (over, what 70% of possible SSNs are currently active) that they are reusing SSNs.
If more than 1 in 10 Android phone users know how to do that, I'd be amazed. Look, I get Android is less locked down than iOS... technically. But, based on personal experience, a greater percentage of iOSes are jailbroken to allow non-AppStore apps than Android's have alternate sources/a second store installed.
What access might those accessories have once paired to the phone?
Umm.... quite little. The protocols for non-BLE devices are pretty strict, and BLE is entirely dependent on the phone to pull information from the device.
That innocuous pair of headphones (their bluetooth headphones, not your wired ones) may well emulate a keyboard
That is a concern, but not significantly more than a generic malicious device. I'm not 100% sure about most OSes, but most I've seen require you to select a device both by name and (iconagraphically) by type of device (headset, headphones, keyboard, mouse, etc.).
a rogue bluetooth device you pair with your phone can still PWN it.
Probably. I'm not sure, I haven't seen many attacks of that type.
Unless, of course, you truly believe the fact that a fully patched and up-to-date iPhone can still be (indirectly) affected by this exploit is immaterial;
It's not immaterial, but it's not as critical as a bug in the Bluetooth stack. I consider your complaint to be analogous to responding to a statement about Heartbleed not affecting, I dunno, FreeBSD OSes with "but they might still download and run software from hacked servers." While true, and not totally to be discounted, it's important to note which OSes are directly affected.
I feel like instant runoff, range voting, or approval voting would have had a strong chance of electing Johnson.
I'd imagine that with any of those options, you'd find political parties and their nominations were pretty different. I'd imagine that either Clinton, Cruz or Kasich would win. I'd imagine that all three, plus Trump and Bernie would be on the ticket, as the parties moved towards nominating a slate. And then the never-Trumpers and never-Bernie-ers would vote for the rest of the field. Okay, Cruz probably would be out of the running as well.
No way somebody would feel proud for spending more than asking price on something. "Oh shit plebs, I just spent $20 on this can of Pepsi! Look at all you suckers paying the asking price of $1" I just don't see how somebody would feel good about doing that.
If that $20 Pepsi was on a (non hurricane damaged) Caribbean island beach, then you'd be willing to pay the extra for the accommodations.
Apparently, in some real estate markets, "asking" price is really considered a the opening bid of an auction.
I totally get it, although I'm sure my headphones aren't affected. (They are wired). But the context of the post I was responding to was about the timing being convenient vis-a-vis the new iPhone coming out. You know, so although what you said is true, it's immaterial.
That said, you can usually query the firmware via your desktop Bluetooth to find out the firmware version/do an OTA update.

For a local company, that may be true. But once you get to the P&G level, brand loyalty is probably going to override that last second competitor ad.
No. I have no idea what you're talking about.
Just change the name to "Trump Climate Plan from the Fabulous Trump Hotel in Paris". Done.

Frankly, having a global id seems pretty bad.
If literally half the SSNs in the US are compromised, maybe we can eliminate them as a means of identification.
It's because autoplaying videos is better for Facebook than YouTube right now.

Other states limit it to only the time of sale or transfer. Of course, in both cases, this results in mortal humans subsidizing immortal corporations.

Unlike Android devices, iDevices still get updates 5 years later. And this should be fixed on up to date OSes (I believe).
