And it continues. Even if Huawei earnestly means that they won't collaborate with Beijing, when your engineering security is so lax then it seems reasonable to expect that Beijing will find ways to make use of it (just like any other large government would).
It's just another example of corporate balances not finding a decent center for security versus productivity and profit. We all still have a long way to go.
If I'm looking to use it to replace a laptop, sure, this review may be spot on. The review tweets seem to be written as that is the tablet's sole purpose.
Disregarding the absolutist blinders, it seems like a pretty powerful and useful tablet. As products go, it is the only Apple product that I have been tempted to buy.
While I think the women/childbirth argument is a bit debatable, I can see some validity in it. I'm sure someone has data on it somewhere.
However, your counter-argument is making two huge assumptions: career advancement is linear along the entire career and childbirth is as well. I contend that the majority of career advancement (the 'rapid' part) occurs early in the career path (perhaps the first 15 years?) and then takes on a much shallower slope after that. Those would also be the years that someone would most probably consider childbirth. There is definitely room for those items to conflict in that time period.
As to your P.S., you seem to be implying that having two parents would mean that women would go back to work sooner if they have a partner. I'm really not sure if that is true (it runs counter to what I've seen with most families I know) but I would love to see some data one way or another.
Assuming the number is accurate (for some values of accurate), do they not know what a commercial is because they have never seen one or because they cannot differentiate the commercial from the show they are watching?
If you want your voice heard, you should probably vote for the person who you align with best.
I think people should vote for the person who most closely fits their worldview who actually has a prayer of getting into office. Voting for a third party candidate who might get 2% of the vote is a waste of time. It just is. If it makes you feel good I won't quibble as long as you understand that it will accomplish nothing of value. If you actually want your voice heard then you should actually get involved in politics directly. There are far better ways to make yourself heard than through a protest vote for a fringe candidate.
Voting third party is only a waste of time when you constantly use short-term thinking. That's the problem here. Everyone is so obsessed with only considering the next four years that they never even try to think about the next 20 years. Voting for parties outside the two main parties is how they gain sufficient support to become viable in the long-term.
The two-party lock-in is pure rhetorical garbage. I can't in good conscience vote for a completely unqualified demagogue or someone who is the closest thing to a living embodiment of the establishment.
I'll agree that the two party thing is annoying but it definitely is not "rhetorical" in nature. It's an inevitable function of how our voting system is set up.
No, it's an inevitable function of a society that only believes it can vote for a potential winner in the immediate term. It is a function of large parts of our society succumbing to the false dichotomy.
How dare those evil gun makers not make their products more fragile, less likely to fire and more prone to failure! If only guns could be made as safe as a child's toy,
Then you may have done it wrong (or whatever example you followed was wrong). The default IDE (Eclipse with the ADK plugin) does not generate permissions into the manifest. They all go in manually. If your Hello, World required extra permissions then they were most likely added by accident or you are using some uncommon IDE/plugin.
Yes, I see the difference. One follows the headline pattern of print and electronic media that has been established for probably 50-100 years. The other has extra garbage words that do not change the meaning and take up more space.
I am not saying that MS has to support NS4. I think the decision of whether or not to support Netscape 4 should be up to the developer, not Microsoft.
But for the choice to be left to the developer then Microsoft must provide support. Your statement is saying that Microsoft must support NS4.
I have just as little love (maybe less?) for Microsoft as anyone else but requiring them to support NS4 just doesn't seem right. As an ISV we have chosen not to support NS4 and Microsoft should have the same choice. Of course they should also document that choice and not just flatly say 'We support everything!:)'.
Because is funded by the U.S. government which makes most of its decisions based on public perception (not necessarily the hard facts).
If the general public perceives these hoaxes to be fact then that will often lead the public to have negative opinions about NASA because they're [hiding something | not doing their job | working with the aliens | blah blah blah]. This can then easily snowball into more and more public stories of misinformation and half-truths. All too often Congress caters to the idiots because they shout the loudest.
I see NASA doing this to just basically nip things in the bud. It is much easier to shut down the cranks early. I imagine they do this for at least two reasons.
1 - NASA has a lot of other things it could/should be doing but we have to recognize that funding for NASA is not guaranteed and getting funding is a priority for them (otherwise they aren't able to do anything). Exposing the hoaxes reduces the chances of the above perception problem.
2 - What the hoaxes are spewing are untruths, half-truths, and misinformation. Most scientists at NASA are probably quite truthful and honest about their science and they don't like to see other people going around spouting off crap. This is analogous to myself, as a software engineer, correcting people who start to spout off how they heard the latest virus can jump from your computer to your TV and make your stove come on and mess up your fridge, etc. etc.

Nice projection there. I'll make sure to align my thinking patterns with yours in the future.
That second system you are looking for, to browse and email and such, it's in your pocket.
It's called your phone.
The need you are describing is apparently not widespread nor strong enough for anyone to invest in implementing it in the way you describe.
Use your phone.
It's a brave new world we live in! ...

News for Nerds for sure.
Here's the scary question for that stat:

Well, as long as we don't build robotic reloading systems, we'll have an upper limit on human population loss.
I'm already looking forward to a new set of Shakespeare's sonnets.

Bleh.
My next phone is just six months away.

They can't launch until they figure out who they will sue for patent infringement once they create the product.

There's nothing to support the idea that machine quality is linked to registration.
I believe the hike to $900 is their response to 'freeloaders' showing up just to get swag.
Even in 2006, this would have been an obvious solution for anyone in the field.
Could we find a more loaded term than that? I don't think so. Heaven forbid some folks actually try to glom together and do good.
