The key point is the invention of the whole system, not just the display unit. Farnsworth's invention was on the television scanner side of things, not the television display.
With USENET there was a lot of jury rigging of email systems together. A BBS could indeed send email to other systems on the other side of the country even if they had not been originally designed to do so. Though crude, this store and forward system was what really got networks interacting with each other.
I have an app that lets me quickly turn off mobile data. Well actually, it lets me turn it on, as I have a minimal data plan so I leave it off almost all the time, unless I need to quickly send an email when I'm away from home or work.
When I first go tthe phone this was difficult as there was no quick enable/disable of mobile data like my older phone had, requiring going through several levels of settings to get to it. My guess at the time was that the service providers want you to suck up their bandwidth for extra profit.
Except it's not minimalist. It's got extra fluff. Ie, why is there an inner border around the tab, trying to cover everything but the ok/cancel/apply. It adds no extra information and yet takes up space.
I object to the use of "Trial size" to describe Jefferson Beauregard Sessions, formerly the honorable senator from the great state of Alabama. I suggest you use "Fun Size" instead.
The president can only enforce what the resources allow. The budget isn't big enough to enforce every possible law, no matter how serious or minor. There are only so many agents available. So every president from the start has had latitude to set priorities. For example, cannabis use, there are enough serious things to worry about than to waste time and money trying to prosecute cannabis use, especially since most states already handle this.
Usually it comes down to politics. What makes the administration look good versus bad. The war on drugs has been a disaster, but it is also highly political, so lots of money was spent trying to appear to be doing something. Over time this has soured in the public's mind and so enforcement is weakening. Similarly for illegal immigration, it's highly political but it is also a very open secret that these workers are vital to many segments the economy such as agriculture.
Except that there's no requirement how to spend the INS budget. So the effort is spent on securing the border and catching recent illegal immigration rather than hunting down college students who haven't been in mexico since they were a baby. There's not an urgent crisis that demands we do something about DACA kids now.
The president is allowed to not enforce the laws, or put priority of some laws above others. Of course congress should be making the laws but it has spent an extremely long period of time refusing to consider such laws. Now there have been 6 years since DACA and still no congressional action regarding it.
Granted, congress is in a perpetual stalemate now that being seen to even discuss things rationally with politicians from the opposing party very often means being kicked out at the next primary election. Each party has this perpetual naive hope that they'll get a super majority soon and so any compromise today is premature.
I'm mixed about this. I like the flat design in later OSX the best, mostly because it gets rid of the distracting flash, borders, etc, and focuses on what you want to see. I never really liked the look of Windows 7 either, it was too glossy with special effects that said "look at me!" I don't mind the windows 8.1 desktop (the metro "apps" are abomination of course), but after some registry tweaks.
On the other hand, the flat style that gets too minimalist is bad. For example my web mail recently has been asking me to log in again with a confusing page. It shows my account name, and a button for "choose other account", and not much else. Turns out I have to click on my name after which it will prompt me for a password. But there's nothing around the name that indicates it is clickable. Too make it more confusing, occasionally the old style login appears (name and password box appear with name pre-filled in). I have seen other examples where things just get too minimal to know what to do.
So, flat is ok, the flat "jewels" on the OSX windows compared to the sparkly jewels it used to have; minimal or invisible borders; a box of a different shade and no border compared to a separately drawn border around everything.
Younger is not more experienced. If you want inexperienced know-it-alls making all your tech, then good luck waiting for customer support when everything breaks. There is simple tech, and that's what the twenty-somethings are working on, and then there's tech that demands higher quality.
You have to schmooze with the right people. Talk to the managers, talk to the VPs. But in such a way that you seem smart and not just a kiss up. Helps if you can talk about wines.
If he gets the money. A product manager isn't typically given tons of options and the salary isn't necessarily the greatest. It's near the bottom of the management pecking order, and isn't a people management job usually. However, the job normally requires some actual working experience.
I have a friend who started as an intern and grew into a management and then VP position in less than a decade, on the basis if being there in the early startup days and having more knowledge of what was going on than any of the newer hires. But the lack of experience was evident, in engineering and management. Still a very bright person, just promoted 10 to 20 years too soon.
Not all whites are white supremacists. Not all muslims are ISIS supporters. We have many whites who strongly condemn that actions of white supremacists, and many muslims who strongly condemn terrorist acts.
Generally that's why I hate the consumer oriented IoT. It gives a terrible name to the whole product because of the complete lack of quality and worst in class security. But even for commercial/industrial customers there's a lack of knowledge about security, but at least they have an idea that they want some of it.
Yup. I've seen industrial customers delay and delay adding in the security. There's worry that it's too complicated, that they'll brick their systems, etc. But you can't get both convenience and security at the same time.
No, not just developers. I work on IoT, we do security and we try to do the best security. Customers don't think this is important. It raises the cost. We get a max cost of a product and adding security can blow past it. A big problem is with companies and customers alike wanting to jump on the band wagon with instant results.
Also, security requires resources. More memory, better chips (ie, keep keys out of RAM), use PKI instead of preshared keys, etc. Every framework online that claims to IoT ready is severely lacking, not just in security but usability. When they have security it's very large (larger in code than many low power chips can handle) and since it's "portable" they make no use of hardware supplied security.
Now try to combine that with a battery life measured in decades, fast network response, customer modifications, etc.
MMOs are mostly set up to appeal to the 10-30 minute crowd. It's the WoW model, with tiny microquests that give continuous positive feedback. Ie, get in, finish a few quests, talk to friends, and log out in under an hour. Now the instances and raids take longer, but not excessively so for the most part (can take longer to find a group than to do the content). But soloing an MMO doesn't require the bladder control like they used to. And in many MMOs you don't need to grind, it's optional, and the hard part is ignoring the players who tell you that you have to grind because they all assume your end goal is top tier PvP and PvE.

Am I the only person who thinks that the intro sequence to American Horror Story is whispering "Wernstrom!"
10% of crap can be very entertaining or thought provoking.

Not true for AT&T. Your modems have to be able to talk to their modems, you can't buy a compatible one at Fry's. I'd buy my own if I could.

No on outside of Apple cares. And only a handful of people inside Apple care, but they've already gotten the notice through email from HR.
Sounds like porn through the mail to me. For sure the USPS won't stand for it!
A lot of the times, the "pivot" is to fire everyone and sell the office equipment.
