Across the board, academic success is linked to the parents. Even in "poor" households, the parents are the driving force. You simply cannot fully outsource education. The parents have to care, or the kids likely will not.
All of the whining about social justice won't change prevailing cultural values within the populations you are trying to "liberate". Special programs and throwing money the problem won't either.
Math education is uniformly abominable in the US and always has been. It was that way when I was a kid. Teachers don't care. If they do the rest of the machine will override them and grind them down.
A ghetto kid could make a miraculous turnaround do to the effort of some European college do-gooder and be slapped back down by his own kind. The brothers don't really need the help of the man. They can keep each other down all on their own.
There is no real interest in the US populace having a clue. It would destroy the consumer culture if people were numerate. Perpetrating a fear of math suits the ruling class.
No. It contradicts the liberal narrative that the man is keeping the brother down.
Recent immigrants that come here and thrive make all under performing lower class types that are already here look bad. It makes it easier to come to the conclusion that you can determine your own destiny and don't need to be a ward of the state.
Now you're the one posting nonsense. Cinemas don't get anywhere near 40% of the gross. That's why they have to sell those annoying overpriced concessions. With some big films they may see NONE of the initial ticket proceeds.
Although promotion is something else that's not included in the production budget. It's another important factor to consider in terms of "profitability". Although your numbers horribly wrong.
Actually, the law is pretty unclear because this sort of "crime" gets split up between commercial use and personal use and value.
The value part gets tricky because the content owners never want to talk about how valuable something is. They never want to admit what the actual damages were.
Its just fine if corporations get a break if they maim or kill someone but tolerating any sort of petty theft from the proles just won't be accepted.
Tort reform for the rich, crime and punishment for the poor.
Yeah... except this isn't "immigration". That's the whole point of the H1-B system. These people are throwaway "guest workers". That's what makes them such a value. Management has even more leverage on them than the would an average native worker.
The H1B shills here aren't actually advocating for immigration.
What would leave them with a labor force just as surly as what they had before.

Many of them specifically choose not to be in the workforce and don't need to be there either. That's a stupid statistic. This isn't Europe where either both spouses work or they're wards of the state.
Race to the bottom? They're already there. They arrived with the debut of the iPad. That's a great irony of the situation that many people don't fully grasp. Apple created a new market by being the cheap option.
You're just making the mistake of assuming that fruity logo actually means something. Except for the novelty form factors, Apple is a PC maker just like anyone else. The same random collection of spare parts that's in a Mac are also in Dell and any other brand.
That's funny because any time I install Windows on bare metal, I need a second system around to deal with all of the devices that aren't supported out of the box.
Not having any sort of working NIC is nasty when you have to beat the bushes to download extra stuff to get your box running.
A lot of the more "sophisticated" features you mention in Windows aren't there because Windows is inherently better. Those features are there because Windows shits it's pants all the time and you need those recovery tools.
> Pulling data from a database for display and analysis is hardly an edge case in a business setting...
Yes, but anything short of a lemonade stand is going to have much better and more sophisticated tools do that sort of thing. They wont be pounding in screws with hammers.
...except the logical and most effective location for such a feature is in the ticket tracking system itself. "Bit banging" an application database is fun if you're a hobbyist but a poor choice if you are any kind of large organization.
Yes, but these are Italians. Making extra work for people is not incompatible with how they operate. Whining about 15 minutes a day per employee seems out of place and even a little petty for them.
These media outlets have enough trouble preventing their own journalists from deviating from the media narrative. An audience that can contradict their media narrative is just too much for them to handle.
The real problem is that these sites define trolling as merely having a contradictory opinion. They don't want anyone to threaten their echo chamber. They don't want people posting sincere, meaningful comments that defy the media narrative they are trying to push.
FB videos play just fine from Linux using Firefox. Just enable the plugin for the stuff you actually want to see.
It's actually a much better way to deal with Flash by default. Auto playing videos are annoying and resource consuming. Plus you have no idea what kind of nasty spam some idiot has posted to your feed.
Flash being quarantined by Firefox is actually a nice convenience feature.
Any computing task will eventually complete eventually. That doesn't mean that any one wants to put up with waiting for long compute jobs if they can avoid it.
Anyone that's left the garage probably wants a render farm (and has one).
Even some people that are still just working with a single rack in their bedroom probably prefer a cluster.
No. He probably objects to the usual Lemming nonsense of "it's all ideal under Windows and none of it works under Linux" when the reality of the situation is likely closer to the reverse.
I never had good experiences with these features under Windows.
Although at this point, it seems like a feature that time has passed by since you can quite often boot a system cold faster than it takes some systems to recover from hibernate/suspend.

That's odd. I've known a number of Desis and Pakastanis in IT.
I even known a couple of genuine hadjis. It didn't seem to interfere with the job.
Apparently in Pakistan engineers and doctors have high prestige and IT gets lumped in with engineers.

We've had similar problems outside of California.

On the other hand, people can be quasi-fulltime. They can be given just enough work hours by their employer to come in under the limit for benefits.
People like this may be working more than 40 hours a week and would be considered "unemployed" by that ancient metric.
On the other hand, they can also make obviously life poor choices on top of that regardless of how they are being screwed by the man.

> Are you really going to argue that a desktop isn't more powerful than a laptop?
Mine is. But then again, I don't buy Apple laptops or laptops that try to be Apple wannabes.
Mac laptops "powerful"??? as if...

> You only need a serial number to verify the model if you don't have access to the physical machine.
You just proved the guys point and you don't even seem to realize it.
In a large organization, the number of people that actually need to care about which word processor they use is vanishingly small.
Few use it beyond the requirements of the most basic consumer user. Few need to be OCD about the end result.
Even in the corporate environment, modern Word Perfect wannabes are vast and ridiculous overkill for most people.
If it was really "compatibility" issues then this would have come up a lot sooner. It probably would have stopped the original rollout.
There's more going on here than the alleged technical aspects of the situation.

The Verge in particular suffers from this.

At home I use pretty much more of everything computing-wise. I also have had much better hardware at home (versus the office) and have for some time.
You are trying to sell a distinction that never really existed. There have always been more powerful and more expensive PCs. Always.
"workstations" were originally desktop variants from commercial Unix vendors.
