California gets a waiver from the fed so they can create their own standards and not use the national standard, which is lower. From what I read they would no longer get this waiver and be forced to follow the national standard. The reason they got the waiver in the first place was because of environmental issues they were having in places like LA. It forced them to have a higher standard then the rest of the nation.
What value do these crypto currencies even create? I just dont understand it. Atleast "real" currency sort of has some government backing to it. Maybe wrong wording for it but I dont get what value there is in crypto currencies.
Doesnt the car have sensors that could have detected the person and her bike with bags? Dont get me wrong it appears that the pedestrian was in the wrong but something should have been detected and the car should have done something to try and avoid the accident. Maybe these cars are not smart enough yet. Though once fully certified I would expect them to be better at driving then people. Something to work towards I guess.
While we dont know fully what the fcc will do, they are looking to prevent states from forming their own rules. I dont think that them scapping the rules will give any local governments more power to regulate the ISP's.

Can someone give me the definition of AI? I ask because it keeps getting thrown around but when people get in to details they talk about pattern recognition, machine learning or data analytics. Not what I would consider AI. CTO seems to think that if a machine can read, say safety manuals, then it can make decisions on safety better then humans. We have yet to see this work.
Maybe he wants to be a politician, a teacher, a preacher, have a decent paying job where Joe Schmo with enough money cant pick up every piece of dirt on this person.
People have no right to know what I do behind closed doors when it doesn't effect anyone else.
From what I understand, the R&D for many drugs are researched at public institutions using public funding. Many drug manufacturers hop on to the gravy train at some point and may fund 50% of the research so that they can claim exclusive rights to said drug. Tax payers are still funding a good chunk of those costs. Additionally drug makers have been milking products for decades. Look at the Epi Pen. It was made in the 1970's and approved in 1987 by the FDA. Yet somehow the price goes up every year. They have more then made their costs back 10 fold. This appears to be the norm for drug manufacturers. Inevitably us consumer pay for both the cost of the drug with an x increase in price per year and pay for a good chunk of the research. The drug companies have many cash cows that they didn't have to invest too much in, compared to the returns they get out of it.
Maybe the drug manufacturers can use more of their own money to fund more research instead of giving multi millions dollar bonuses to executives.
I was thinking the exact same thing. Firewalls block specific network functions not query functions in a database. That's done by ACLs and basic user security as far as I know. I guess they could of set things up in a funky database where the DNC stores the most basic info in a core database that has sim links to each campaigns individualized data in their private networks. I guess you could block what is being viewed that way by preventing the main database from even reaching the individual sub-databases held by each campaign. In the most basic sense I guess you could use a firewall for that. Seems clunky though. Then again I am not a database person.
I wouldn't say they are perfectly legal. I do not think that most of those working for Uber or Lyft have commercial insurance to be transporting people for profit and do not follow DOT guidelines for safety and drug testing. That's part of why they are getting in trouble.
Honestly Ive never had a upgrade from any os work correctly. If you know what you are doing then always do a clean install after backing up your data. If you dont know how to do it, pay someone who can or sit down and shut up.
I support 900 machines and about 2 dozen servers on a community campus. If the college has done things right. The only access any student will have from their personal laptops is internet access.
Generally the classroom/lab computers will have no interaction what so ever with a student computer. We go out of our way to prevent the student computers from infecting or even being able to connect to the academic\business networks. The students do have a wireless network which depending on the campus implementation of their wifi shouldn't have problems with linux.
A very reasonable explanation but there is still a huge glaring problem I see.
The proceeds from the sale of the buildings will be spent on that fiscal year to close any gaps in the budget. There wont be any left over money so where are they getting the rent money from? Where are they going to get the money to buy them back in a few years? The money is gone and can only be made back thru taxes they collect. Which obviously are not enough.
As you say its enough to help get some cash on hand to pay the bills but for only that year. If they are dumping the proceeds from the sale into the current budget then the money is gone. You kind of contradict yourself saying that they will be using the money to pay rent and have something to start with to buy the buildings back but they are doing this to pay off their current debt. The fact is though they wont have a dime of that money left over in a year if they do pay their debts with this money. Kind of a catch 22 I would say.
Thats why it only partially makes sense to me. Its nothing but a loss.
Im confused here... If they sell the buildings then lease them from the new owners do they not have to pay rent? Then in a few years when the economy is better wont they have to buy it back for more then they sold it for? Real estate generally increases in value not decreases. It would make the whole deal a loss for the state then wouldnt it? I see no way that this would help out with their yearly budget except for the year they sell it. After that its only going to be a net loss.
It seems to me this sounds like a bs accounting scheme. Kinda similiar how a few states say its cheaper to keep a murderer in prison for life then it is to execute him within a few years. Its looks great in the short term but in the long run it costs much more.
It just sounds really stupid to me. I can understand trying to get some money to make ends meet but this whole deal makes me scratch my head.
Maybe they should make a special copyright for academic works. Allow the schools to create a copyright but its a limited copyright of sorts. People could freely use it, reference it or copy it for their personal use but if they ever want to sell it they then have to talk to the institution that holds the copyright for it and get permission or setup a deal.
Personally though im of the mind that if something was created in the academic world it should be fair game for everyone not looking to make money because our tax money partially paid for it. Anything innovated for profit from said copyright should at least acknowledge and pay something to the original inventor. You take public funds and you'd better be willing to give that item, idea or whatever to those that funded it. The public. They couldn't of made it otherwise.
Many managers dont really do a dam thing other then make a schedule and watch the budget. Thats why they are so frequently in meetings so it looks as if they are being productive.
As an example my boss has meetings nearly every day, some all day meetings. She rarely comes back and talks about what was mentioned in the meetings but none of it is ever useful or changes things for the better. This has gone on for almost 8 years now.
Ive been to a few of those meetings as well and more then half of the meeting is the women talking about their family, some other pointless crap or kissing the ass of the higher up boss. The other half is them asking what did we do last meeting and asking questions that should be answered but never do because "Ill have to check on that" is the typical response. The meetings are nothing more then a waste of time.
I pretty much govern myself except when my boss feels the need to make herself look good and rushes me through a project just so she can brag about how quickly something was done...
Maybe its because I work in higher education or because 75% of the management here are women who would rather play social games with each other.

That is because of all the lead in your walls. :-)
Who cares about comics. Bring on the girls in cosplay!
I have to second this. She is definately a women with the balls to say how reality is. Ive been impressed with her for a while now.
So I guess because mail goes thru a post office it isnt considered private either...
Dont most companies overestimate things just to make their products look better?
In other words, who ever smelt it dealt it.

Maybe if they would make better games they wouldnt have to spend so much on advertising.
