In fairness, the essay can easily be unimportant. That person may have something else that justifies overlooking a horrible essay.
For instance, I would expect whomever won the Intel Science Fair this year to get into Stanford/MIT/CalTech based on that and a marginally acceptable everything else.
In other words, they stopped obviously advertising, but are pretty clearly still building profiles of students. They don't sell that data, but they do us it to target sold ads.
Google won because the price is paid by the student's privacy, not the school's budget. Which is totally different from winning on price - it's an example of the principle-agent problem.
You start a small internet provider for your neighborhood, convincing all of your neighbors to invest. You go get an expensive resellable gigabit (or 10 gig) internet feed, and then run fiber from the feed to everyone's homes.
Oh no, small startup ISPs that disappeared in the 1990's won't be able to be restarted up! Seriously, that hasn't happened in decades, even without regulations.
Also, the trade group of small and/or municipal ISPs wrote to the FCC saying that they were fine under Title II
I'm pretty sure that there haven't been big advances in dark mater since 1985, last one I'm aware of was in the early 80s; But I will agree that a lot of the dark energy research (although not theory) postdates 1985.
Guess how much has changed in Physics, especially Astrophysics, in 30 years?
The acceleration of the expansion of the universe was discovered, and gravitational waves actually observed? Other than that, I don't know what you're talking about. A lot of discoveries of subatomic particles, but most of them were already theorized to exist.
It's a fault of your education. An "an art" history degree is a common term, referring to an entire undergraduate degree in one piece. For example, you may have a Guernica history degree, etc. Hence, "people without an art history degrees" is a valid phrase referring to people who majored in more than the history of one artistic work.
Professionally, part of my job involves using Android, iOS, AWS and Windows. So, professionally I would be okay with FaceBook going away. Actually, I'd be fine having to support fewer platforms. As long as they give me time to migrate away, I don't really care which of them remain.
I mean, technically yes. Technically, it could be changed to not conform to the spec, or to conform in a different way, I don't know which. But, either of those would be cases of it "not being ready"
But what you describe seems entirely reasonable. Suppose Saudi Arabia had a law that no store could sell pork products, inside or outside Saudi Arabia, and have a business in Saudi Arabia. I would fully expect that WalMart would not have any Saudi Arabian stores. Alternatively, that they would pay the fines for violating that law. I would not think that WalMart could blithely ignore the law, or what would be the moral justification for that.
You might think it was a stupid law, but I fail to see how it's not a just law.
That's likely to be the stuff I will praise the most for as well... both because it is most likely to be "above and beyond" and because it's apparent to everyone that the void is filled, but unexpectedly.
That's the number of people who successfully submitted a comment. If the site was failing, presumably a lot of people attempting to connect were unable to submit a comment, and therefore unable to be counted.
Of course, never attribute to innocent error what can be attributed to malice - maybe the failure of ability to register comments was intentional.
Look, parallelization solves a lot of problems on current, non-infinite programs. However, it also introduces complexity. If speed were not an issue, and you just wanted to optimize in terms of programmer time, you would not allow multiple threads. It would be literally: LoadResource(); SolveTravelingSalesmanProblem(); Something(); in order instead of setting up callbacks so that the person could keep using the computer and queueing other things up while that was happening. Far easier to see at a glance and debug. OF course, impossible in the real world
Wow, it's hard to explain how wrong you are. Literally the only thing I agree with is point 3.
I have programmed products, real complex products, in graphical interfaces. Where you create a loop like you suggested. It is hell. I can type far faster than use a GUI. And I can edit text at many more multiples faster. Whether "English" or not, most keyword sets are in the under 100/200 words, and the libraries will have to be named anyway. Make it Dutch, and I'll just learn a couple hundred Dutch words.
Compilation is only a problem because it takes time. But it also catches whole categories of bugs. I admit it would blur the line between self-interperting and self-compiling code if speed was infinite.
Declaring variables used to be about processor efficency. Now, it's as much to catch programmers doing something stupid/allowing coordination among programmers as it is to tell the computer what to allocate. Try writing PHP code, and try accidentally declaring a new variable via typo, and then tell me how horrible declarations are.
A cryptocurrency backed by something real (like storage or gold) would be nice, instead of fiat based cryptocurrency. I wasted some time trying to imagine how storage backed cryptocurrency would work, but I whiffed. Then again, I couldn't imagine BitTorrent either. I wish him the best luck.
The online shopping sites are not trying to get the highest price they can for every product. They are trying to get the optimal price for every product.
Since prices are per person, your distinction is irrelevant.

Do you have a source? I would expect at least a link to the issue of Time that had such an article.
THat may be what they say, but it's not what they do. At least, that's not what they were doing in 2014 when they were being sued for violating that ToS (and then publicly announced they were removing the visible option to control it from GMail for Education).

Except Google just announced that they were redoing Android and no longer basing it on Linux.
I don't know if the US press are allowed to bring in their own cameras, but the white house does have a staff photographer.

Well, their employees probably already buy everything from Amazon.

I actually meant that it was something above what was expected. It may have taken 10 minutes or 10 hours.

What? Fuck no!

Why would they take the step backwards. After all, a PRNG does better than the average analyst.
How are they different? How do fines relate at all to prices? And, even if they related, what would the point be.

I don't see why isolating just hand-eye coordination makes it less of a sport than baseball. Or curling.
That said, if you wanted to say "watching sports is stupid"...

Not individually, they don't.
