I disagree that income inequality isn't a problem or a problem we should desire to fix. The top 1% has traded places with the bottom 50% since the 80's. To say we're pretty good, but maybe not as good as Europe is misleading when you know that most European countries are at the top of the charts, and the US is at the bottom. [1]
Countries in Europe seem to be doing pretty ok in terms of production and equality. And they're all happier than we are in the US with more vacation time. I think we can and should demand both.
I skipped the link to get the top-post and still missed the deadline. Sysadministrivia is great, they sit around drinking beer to discuss the latest news and best-practices for system admins. I've picked up a few tricks listening in.
Thanks, I confused 4 week moving average there glancing over the document. We should be looking at both layoffs and newly created jobs to know if there's a net gain or loss. I'm pointing out the scale involved. Carrier's 1,000 is nothing. It's impossible for him to strike a 50,000 job deal every month. Even if he did it's not going to be the leading force.
Like trying to fill up a swimming pool with a Solo party cup and patting yourself on the back when it rains.
Lets say Trump makes this and another equivalent deal creating 100,000 jobs. Claims for first-time unemployment benefits are around 250,000* monthly. How much time a month should our president dedicating to deal-making with private industry and at what cost to tax payers?
I've never seen a +5 Insightful Anon... color me skeptical 5 people decided to throw away their modpoints to elevate Anon's guesswork to the highest ranking.
I enjoyed Tron in 3d. Properly, in my opinion, is subtle and doesn't stand out as 'was made for 3d with stuff constantly flying at the audience' when watching it in 2d.
With the death of 3d television sets, i can't see why the cinema wouldn't follow. It probably doesn't make sense from a business perspective to film a 3d movie just for the cinematic release. Cinemas won't install the hardware when so few movies are coming out in 3d.
1. Much of the automated system that builds and tests Windows itself is a collection of many Cmd scripts that have been created over many years, without which we couldn't build Windows itself!
I knew it; their official build script starts with MS-DOS and a batch file kicks off layers of self compilation to cloud-heights and Windows 10!
Claims for first-time unemployment benefits are around 250,000* monthly. How many calls a month should our president be making to private companies? I'm not familiar with the terms of whatever deal Trump made with Carrier and if it costs taxpayers money.
On the topic of making stuff up, someone has to be wrong and I don't know how the left and right can be living in such alternate realities. What about the current unemployment rate*? At 4.6% it's only 0.2% higher than the lowest it's been in 10 years; 3.8 was the lowest that's gone in 20 years. Is this number wrong or made up? Do you have more examples of what you feel is made up?
When I heard this report on the radio they stated the states each have a cutoff date at which point the candidate can no longer raise the issue. Wisconson's cutoff date is Friday [2016-11-25] and Pennsylvania is Monday [2016-11-28].
Since the election I've been fascinated with the idea that only 1/3 Americans have a great or fair amount of trust in the media* while at the same time an increasing number of people prefer news from a single-source or whatever they find on facebook.**
What leads so many people to say that investigative journalism is a sham? If there is no free media, how do we trust any news. I'm sure not able to read the thousands of Wikileaks e-mails and do the research necessary to determine what is pertenant.
I wish more people had the time and/or inclination to fact-check what they believe and pass onto others. How many plausible claims for or against candidates did you fact check this election cycle and how much time did you spend doing it? I stop short at name calling because the truth is I spent hours trying to verify certain claims and most voters don't have that kind of time. It's inundating to try obtain reliable facts and evidence from a credible source.
The question in my opinion is does Facebook profit from turning a blind eye to the kind of polarizing self-affirming material and the feedback-loop of a bubble they create for their users because it keeps them in-house? If they do profit from this and Facebook is the sole source of news for an increasing number of adults what, if anything, can or should be done?
Code always seems to live longer than you expect it to. Particularly for firmware Intel will likely continue using the existing codebase for 10 or more years even as they produce more modern hardware.
I don't know, last I check the full price of 25/10 verses 50/25 there was a $10 price difference. I'm not sure they'll be too upset if everyone gave them $75 instead of $85 per month for half the bandwidth. The cost of an internet connection is obscene. Thanks government-sanctioned monopolies.
Easy enough for a desktop application when all you have to do is uninstall the new version, and install the older one. A little more complex for your PC or laptop's OS: you need is enough free space on the disk drive to store all the originals and a somewhat elaborate restoration routine. The idea's great, but there are limiting factors for a phone (disk space, processing power). Whats more is all the different firmwares for radios, gps, etc. which should, but don't always like to take a step back if you simply install the old firmware over top.
Maybe we could just download all of the OS and factory restore the whole thing to whatever version. This would work, but it's kind of a hassle for your average user - probably not what Andy meant. Moors law dictates these devices will become more powerful, so maybe in the not-so-distant future. Really though, if they can't get the new OS to work right why do you think they could perfect a restoration routine. Who is this guy anyhow?
Are you sincere in your vehement G+ rants on Global Warming or is this a clever exploitation of humans "Backfire Effect" (when given evidence against their beliefs, people can reject the evidence and believe even more strongly)?
What particularly made me think this at one point was: "Does that kind of language persuade anybody"?
I think you're onto something, but paid interns are the ones who actually get jobs. Turns out those students convinced to work for free don't fair much better than students that get no internship. What's ironic is that unpaid interns are actually paying [tuition] to get college credits while working a job without compensation. Crazy. Here's the first source I could find.
Not necessarily a plot, just another trick in the bag.

The difference is that we have the opportunity to review free/open software to verify its functionality and that it is working only in our interests.
Should we trust open software? No, but we don't have to trust it. We can verify for ourselves, or pay someone qualified to do it.
Should we trust closed software? Probably not, but what choice do we have.

That doesn't sound like fact checking at all. It sounds exactly like confirmation bias.

Terrible. I've never wanted mod someone down for a joke before.
I failed to suggest Libquity which ships from the US if that is more convenient.
Coreboot does not remove ME. You may want to investigate the Libreboot project or buy a pre-flashed system from The Ministry of Freedom.

If you have issues with cloning then you probably should have issues with identical twins.
I probably have The Shining to thank for my hesitation in embracing cloned bacon!
