Why is it that if you put even the dumbest electronics into a package that looks sleek and smart people think that it must be 'intelligent'? They did it a long time ago, stretching back to the mechanical turk I guess, where if the machine just looked human then it must contain advanced intelligence. Even these days whenever the Japanese put out some terrible uncanny-valley type robot that can only sit there and try not to be outwitted by SIRI people will still think it's some kind of advanced WALL-E style intelligence just because they jammed it into a real-doll body.
Way back in the day people pumped their own gas. And by pumped I mean they actually manually operated a pump. Now you just put the tube in the hole (it's amazing that the nerds here were able to figure that out) and then you push a button.
What it means is that the developers should calm down because MS didn't actually make any significant changes. They're just dropping in a new default wallpaper and turning off a few features everyone hates to make it more 'user friendly'.
Well, in countries with poor healthcare the number of deaths can be far greater even if the number and severity of the crashes is the same. So counting only deaths doesn't make it a common standard at all.
Nevermind that you lost your legs. For example, the number of serious injuries that don't result in death would be extremely high for countries where everyone drives a scooter. Why do we only count death for these statistics?
Have you seen what people put on a resume? Everyone 'knows Excel'. I swear I even told the person interviewing me that they should put me in front of a computer before they hire me so that I can prove that I actually know what I'm doing. Of course they didn't, and apparently there's only like two other people in this whole office that know not to make formulas like =A1 + C1 + F1 + L1 + 18. So yeah, companies need to not only change their hiring policies but they need to actually check that people are capable of doing what they claim they can. The problem won't get fixed because the people doing the hiring are the ones who don't have a clue what they're doing, let alone be able to check that the new hires are capable.
When it comes to something like this the workers are ultimately responsible. If your boss was pressuring you so much that you felt like not tying off was the best solution then you're an idiot. If your boss actually tells you not to tie off to save time, and you do it, then you're an idiot and he's a criminal.
How do you forget to clip on? Even after a decade working in the job how could you possibly forget? It's like forgetting to wait for the cross signal and just walking out into traffic.
Saul: A man has the right to change his name to vatever he vants to change it to. And if a man vants to be called Chelsea, godammit this is a free country, you should respect his vishes, and call the man Chelsea! Morris: His mamma call him Bradley, imma call him Bradley. Saul: Then you're a putz. All of you are putzes. They should change the sign outside from My-T-Sharp to 'ze Three Putzes.
My point is that they are mixing units together. Just pick one system, SI, and stick to it. If you can make it a whole paragraph without screwing that up then you get a gold star.

Yeah, because the sun never shines from the north up here! It's complete misconceptions like this that cause these issues.
The first time is NOT understandable. This isn't exactly a new phenomenon. Does the "Archimedes death ray" ring a bell?
Programming is hard. News at 11.
His point of reference was from inside the building.

You'll see protesters outside the lab with poorly worded signs by next Tuesday.
Hear hear. And another thing I see constantly is using data as a singular. The word data is plural. "Data are" not "data is".
From what president did they get a brain tissue sample?

But you're comparing the quality of healthcare, not the severity of car accidents.
How fast does it scan? I can't, um, hold this pose all day.

You may want to upgrade from Netscape 4.
In the Dominican it looks like they'd have to calculate number of deaths per metre driven.

I'll bet we could polish it to the right spec this time around.
But these incidents all involve death, so the rate doesn't matter. One is too many.

Most of the support probably comes from the administration side. Installation, updates, minor bug fixes, licensing stuff, etc.
They're using computers to grade the exams based on crappy criteria like this. Well-written software should be able to beat it no problem.
