Extremists are already running things, there just happen to be enough opposition, moderates, and people with a brain to not cede total control to the extremists.
Remember when the paperless office was supposed to lead to higher efficiencies and more free time? Instead it meant workers being squeezed and doing twice as much.
I think it would be a valid contractual condition, and the state could provide compelling reason in a court of law by claiming it's good for their citizens and promotes the interests of the state.
Stranger Things was one of the better shows I've seen in a decade. Jessica Jones was very good, same with Daredevil, better than typical Marvel stuff. A Series of Unfortunate Events was good, far better than the Jim Carrey version. Black Mirror is great (acquired rather than fully Netflix original). Orange is the New Black is good.
I agree that it's a shame that Netflix is cut off from a lot of Hollywood movies
It wasn't a bad movie. I liked it, but I don't watch tons of police movies so it's hard for me to judge it against them. But it was better than the average fare.
I did like Batman vs Superman. I don't know why people are so viscerally against it other than that it wasn't a typical nonstop action punctuated by quips like the Marvel movies. But then I also liked the Hulk movie from Ang Lee. I like movies that don't fit the stereotypes.
In the 1880's, NCR added extra health and safety features for the workers, like chairs, and an on-site doctor to deal with accidents. Almost no other company did this. But this wasn't done because of any social agenda or liberal leanings, instead the president felt that happier and healthier workers were better workers. It's an old idea that still applies.
Ultrasound is the size of handheld gaming systems now. But MRI used to take up large chunks of a room, and i know some in the 80s had to be installed by opening up a hole in the side of a hospital. Today they're relatively small and you can fit several in a room. Ie, http://image.made-in-china.com...
Ultrasound doesn't need large components outside of the transducer, so it's easy to make it compact. MRI has components are are very difficult to shrink, and the bed is an integrated component as well. Both imaging systems are essentially heavy data processing, but those components have shrink over time, gotten faster and are consuming less power, and that in itself is creating new applications and abilities (ie, there's even real time MRI imaging now which used to be considered impractical).
Medical ultrasound is alive and well. I worked for two of those companies. These are the highest tech companies I've worked at in many ways. I didn't like the "lo-fi" insult here, the imaging is very good these days.
Oh, MRI machines are lots smaller now too. You don't even have go to into a claustrophobic tube either, they have "open MRI" machines.
My work Macbook Pro is fine, maybe it's the 2015 model though. The Macbook Air didn't have enough ports for me (ie I wanted two monitors and ethernet).
I can't believe so many posts wondering about this phrase. Are my fellow Americans really that ignorant and stuck in a bubble? Read some British books, watch some British TV. This is slashdot, I'd hope we'd have a lot of Doctor Who fans at the very least. Can someone who is ignorant of British English really be a nerd?
For 2016 elections, don't think of it as blue vs red, or Republican vs Democrat. Think of it as "anyone who can function autonomously" versus "Trump". I know a lot of California Republicans that avoided Trump like the plague, and quite a lot of non-Californian Republicans too. There were some "OMG, I Love Trump!" but this was because they hated Hillary even more than they hated Trump. It's hard to call that stuff "politics" in the traditional sense.
There are a lot of libertarians in the Silicon Valley area and I think quite a lot (or most) voted for Clinton if they didn't vote for Johnson. That doesn't make them liberal.
For the big Trump leaning counties, those are indeed rural. But they have relatively low farming and thus far fewer farm workers. And some of the whitest counties, relative to the rest of the state, based on 2010 census. Thus my point about hispanic voters tipping things closer to the center does not apply as much to those counties. They're also relatively poor counties with low populations; their political clout stays minimal even if the state were split.
This is true in a way. I think the book was much more approachable back in the late 70s, early 80s, because there was so much more code written in assembler. Thus the MIX language. If it had been written a decade later I suspect there might have been a higher level language used. Although at a higher level, it's easy to fall into a trap of ignoring the low level details - ie, only worrying about how many compare operations there are and not counting the overhead of the loop itself.
I'm not sure it's just for tracking. Most of Amazon really seems to be geared up for impulse buying. No need to think about how much money is in your wallet, not need to spend time checking out, just push a button. There's seriously heavy handed and tricky marketing to get people to sign up for Prime. The easier it is for people to buy stuff, the more money Amazon makes. The speed bumps on the way to buying stuff actually helps the consumer, especially today when so many people live beyond their means.
On the other hand, getting these hipsters out of their basement and into a store may be a good thing, preferable to on-demand grocery purchase and deliveries. More money would go to the local economy too. Now if they would just hire more than one person from the local economy...
Because it's theory, and far too few programmers bother with that. They're more interested in tying frameworks together with programming glue. And yes, it's a difficult book to read; it requires thinking and practice and is the opposite of "Learn a Popular Language in 21 days".
In high school, a friend and me wanted to sign up for the flat earth society, just so we could get their newsletter and laugh at it (before the internet). We never did it though, we didn't have the money.

Brave, brave, visionaries.

Well, regardless, he certainly grabbed total control of the country afterwords and could purge anyone disloyal without any repercussions.

Well, some people are dumb enough to rely on Yelp to make decisions for them.

That's a conspiracy theory, not facts.

For the longest time, I didn't know what a parkway was, and I'm American. So the old joke of park in a driveway, drive in a parkway fell flat for me.
I take my dog to the dog lot.

The BBC already has a story that the mystery is solved, out today. I guess this is a typical Slashdot error of being too slow to show up in the feed.
Solution was, these were test cars used when the facility was being built. Junkers.
It failed because it was expensive to operate and maintain.

If it was flat, the cats would have knocked everything off the side by now.
