I signed the petition. An agency of my government was breaking the public trust, lying to legislators, and breaking the law. It was Mr. Snowden's duty to report this, and it is a travesty to take away his life for defending his country against itself.
I can't form an opinion on the current state or rate of AGW because people
keepfucking with the data.
What other science allows you to edit historical data to make it fit the trendline of your model instead of editing your model to make it fit the historical trendline?
>> Honestly, if they did employ a dozen or so people to do really good translations between articles in major languages, I'd be all for that. But they're not.
They are working with duolingo.com to do this. The translations, individually, aren't great but duolingo spins an army of drones across them until you have good content.
>> It's already been established that hosting only costs them about $2M/year. A few administrators are not adding much to that.
One does not run the 6th busiest site on the internet with "a few administrators." There are developers, QA, deployment engineers, support engineers, huge network infrastructure, server engineers, corporate it to support all of that, and accounting, HR, and legal to support that. An enterprise of this size is non-trivial.
Looking at it another way, Wikipedia is #7 on the list of busiest sites on the internet. Twitter is #8. Do you think twitter runs on 95m/year?
Think about the servers, storage, network, and physical plant infrastructure required to manage a site of this size. The people managing them need workstations and email; that requires corporate IT. Someone has to buy that stuff, requiring purchasing staff. Those people want to get paid, so accounting and human resources teams. There are also legal, public relations, and fundraising teams too.
If Wikipedia was a for-profit company they'd have a valuation in the billions. If they manage to do it for 95 million it's a bargain.
I live in the southeastern US. The Amazon warehouse 6 miles from my home starting pay is 160% of the minimum wage, and family members who work there have rapidly reached 200% of the minimum. Why is there such a discrepancy here?
It seems to me that this kit is in a race with EmDrive technology. If Cannae's orbital tests work out next year then it would be silly to use propellant engines for station keeping in any new hardware.
Precisely. The best way to fix the H1B program is to give H1B workers permission to change jobs without having to fight their way back through the sponsorship process.
California must be doing something right if the population has grown so much. People actually want to come here. Unlike the Republican South from where people are leaving in droves for Blue states.
Your assertion is factually incorrect. There is a statistically significant migration from blue states to red states. People are voting with their feet, but not in the direction you imply.
I appreciate your sentiment, coward, I really do. I don't know if privacy settings are persisted through OS upgrades, and if it isn't then that is a bug.
That said: It takes fortitude to stand up, use your real name, identify your employer, and then talk about an unpopular feature in your employer's products. I choose to do so. If you are going to personally attack me for it please be so kind as to extend the same courtesies, Coward.
You asked for information, I provided it. Microsoft tells you what is in Telemetry. You want to see for yourself; I told you how. The "other bazillion sites" (your words) are listed in the second link I posted, as well as links for how to opt-in or opt-out.
Internally Microsoft is crushingly strict about privacy and data protection. I didn't realize that until I started working here and saw it for myself.
These are my own opinions, and not those of my employer.

Come to Tennessee. A 3br home costs between 100 and 200k, taxes on it are less than 1k/year, no state income tax, and your car tags cost less than $100. We do have a 9.5% sales tax, but you don't feel that the way you feel an income tax. The IT job market in Nashville is pretty good.
Windows 10 uses a cumulative patching system. To update a Windows 10 out-of-the-box install to this month's updates you only need this month's update, not every single update that has been released since that CD was made. That's a huge change from previous versions.
The downside of this is that cumulative updates have gotten much larger over time. October's update clicked in at around a gig. That is a lot of data to move around on a network. With this change the computer only pulls down the differences between the last time it patched and today. The hope is that this will take some of the pain out of patching.
Full disclosure, I work for Microsoft in an unrelated group.
You don't feel the slightest discomfort in electing a person who * ignores sunshine laws * mishandles classified information * fights congressional subpoenas * lies to congress * intentionally destroys evidence in an ongoing investigation

I confess it gives me pause, and I'm no fan of the Donald.
This whole thing would be long dead if she'd said "I had a private email server because of the technical limitations of my office. Here it is."
She didn't do that last year, that's why it's still a topic.
You are mistaken. The page where I'm typing this reply has 27 seperate Javascript files loaded. Slow parsing and execution of those files can hurt page performance just as much as a slow server connection or busted renderer.
2000 Liters of water is 0.001621429 acre-feet or 0.0002 hectare-meters. This device's effect on rainfall would be hard to measure. It is literally just making it rain on a more convenient schedule.

It's worth noting that in Windows 10, most display driver crashes are automatically recovered and don't cause blue screens anymore. This is a welcome change, as my preferred video card vendor seems unable to produce a card/driver combo that isn't rubbish for the first 2-3 years after initial release.
Full disclosure: I work for Microsoft but this is my opinion, not paid shilling.
I'm an electrician. My job involves autonomous movement in 3 dimensions, the ability to problem solve when many variables are completely unknown or unknowable, and the requirement that I can adapt to any existing infrastructure without additional information.
If I can print a new house in an afternoon, cheaper than hiring you, are you still necessary?
As a libertarian, I do not find UBI inconsistent with my values.
My libertarian beliefs are based on the idea of maximum freedom. "Get a job or starve to death" is not maximum freedom. Implementing UBI concurrent with automating away 80-90% of jobs increases, not decreases, freedom.

You lose some credibility saying this, IMHO. The Apollo program was wrapping up when I was born, and half of them can still fog a mirror.

32 million dollars, assuming ~100k average salary, is 320 employees. Wikipedia is the 6th busiest website on the internet.
