Yes, something is definitely wrong there. Even in our most crowded areas on campus our clients manage more than that on raw tx/rx rates -- of course, having that raw "wirespeed" doesn't mean you get that amount of data throughput when tens of other clients are also using the "wire".
In our area we have someone who's spliced a radio stations into the ground circuit for an entire city block. Makes it impossible to tone out wires at a few of our network racks -- we can't hear the trace tone over the salsa music.

Better late than never. I'm surprised every year that the CMP doesn't include a stool sample, and so rarely are you ever asked for one when reporting gastroenterological symptoms.
Likely probiotics and prebiotics for a competing, more benign, microorganism, or an engineered strain of the bacteria that out-competes the normal one and does not do whatever it is the normal strain hypothetically does to cause obesity. The latter would require figuring out the causal link.
The rest of the video is worth the watch. It squarely identifies some of the things that just make win8 feel unnatural, but you don't explicitly notice unless you regularly ponder UI/presentation issues. Like having no visual distinguisher between clickable items and informationals/decorations.
While it can be used to override operators, generally the intent is to create new operators. In either case the operators can be lexically scoped to contain then to their intended use scope.

This usually. People who accuse the "Internet" of "Freaking Out" over such things seem to have no grasp of the fact that we live in a world where people with the approximate moral value system of The Kergen are regular recruits for the decision-making table. Either that or they fail miserably to realize the implications of that.
That Perl now has nearly 300 operators, that is a language smell.
We'll have to agree to disagree there. It may take a while to learn them, especially their precedence, but once you do, leveraging that precedence gives you a lot more power and expressivity than functions.
Which is why Perl6 is making it a one-liner to locally define new operators within a lexical scope.
If PERL was a decent language, there would have been no need to develop alternative scripting languages.
This made me laugh. Because it's patently obvious that, while necessity may be the mother of invention, she was not even in the same country when many programming languages were conceived.

I think you're right on most of that but syntax highlighters. We use them because we like to try to break and improve them, since we know it's almost impossible to get them 100% right, given pragmas and whatnot.
There's enough of it working now to start toying around. The "NativeCall" interface got to draft standard status recently, and works, mostly. Lack of many C ("native") data types will be a point of pain for some time to come, though.
I wish Google would let you turn off all those pre-guessing "features" for folks like me who just want to search for particular, unweighted things.
Really I'm not at all bothered by Google putting in new methodologies and features. What bothers me is, as you mention, they don't give you much ability to tweak the site's behavior. That in combination with their tendency to just discontinue things on a whim really has me searching for alternatives more often. I need reliable tools, not this-month's surprise package.
You might try DuckDuckGo. I find their coverage to be a bit thin still, but those that were using it before me say it's improving.
If one were to draw an analogy between the economy and biology, this sort of thing would be best compared to an intercranial IV for cocaine.
Because just because we can make the anaolgy to a living organism, does not mean said organism is in good health.
It would amuse me that individuals exist that do not recognize that what essentially amounts to spawn camping is erosive to the social contract, were it not for the fact that there are enough of them, running around in delicate areas no less, to cause so much hurt.
Well, had you RTFA, you'd have known that when that explanation was offered, it was just one of many, and given the information they had at the time, did not fully explain the anomaly, so this is news in that they found and processed new information and pretty much proved what was far from "determined" back when the articles you refer to were posted.
Actually it turns out we have a very long memory. We remembered gigabytes of data for several decades, as well as enough data about a machine we built decades ago to model it in excruciating detail, then used it to refine the calculations for a possible explanation for a miniscule discrepency in the speed of a relatively tiny object billions of miles away. I'd say that's pretty incredible.
Meanwhile most people can't figure out how to remember a secure password. How's that for contrast?
There are a good number of ratings systems, of various quality, both by external assessment agencies and by grads/undergrads. These range from giant lists of thousands of colleges ranked according to some criteria, to small individual assessors/nonprofits, e.g. CTCL, which we like over here because we've always made their top 40 cut.
This. And that's not the least of what worries me about this betting. Consider this scenario:
Some bigwig figures he can get a financial break from a candidate worth 10x a political contribution, based on whatever happens in a smoke-filled-room, if the candidate receiving the contribution wins.
He then spends that 10% of the desired return on campaign contributions, and then goes over to e.g. Intrade where, early in the election, odds are fairly even. He takes a bet out on the opponent of the guy he just supported of equal value to the campaign contribution.
If his campaign contribution works and the favor is curried, he's up in cash by virtue of the politician's kickback being worth more than the bet he placed. If it doesn't then he has no loss -- the money he won betting on Intrade covers the cost of the dud political contribution.
This amounts to risk-free bribery on the financial plane. (As to the risk on the legal plane for having such a conversation in a smoke-filled room, that's another matter.)

I suspect it goes something like this:
1) Complain about quality of prospective workforce, but don't hire or train anyone 2)... 3) Profit!
we have created a situation where educated human beings are no longer in demand in the job market.
Yeah that happens, too. There are plenty of areas in industry where a "frightened idiot" is what employers actually find useful, because you can get them to do some pretty awful and/or unethical crapwork. So one could look at the "DIY career" talk as the sales pitch of a cultural pyramid scheme: encourage motivated people to do things that will make them fail, because we'll be able to buy them cheaper later when they are desperate.
Online courses, especially those just gleaned for free without some sort of mentoring, simply do not develop the collaborative skill set needed in the modern workplace. Some colleges don't either. I'd advise selecting colleges that are rated well for providing personalized attention and which know how to leverage group projects to help students learn interaction skills with each other.

Many colleges are taking seriously the gap (both the perceived one and the real one) that has emerged between curriculum and the needs of employers, balancing it with the need for well-rounded education/experience both inside and outside of the workplace, and engaging in initiatives to adapt their programs. In fact, where I work it is the Big Thing(TM) being pushed from the top.
I won't go so far as to call TFA out as having drunk the Trump cool-aid, I'd just point out that *which* college matters a lot too. There are those that evolve, and those that are behind the curve. It's important for both employers and enrollees to get a feel for which is which.
