They are a shell slapping their brand on Chinese designs like RCA or Polaroid or Westinghouse or a slew of other dead companies with marketable brands. Quarterly numbers look great though without all that pesky employee overhead.
This whole stupid scheme to have open residential WiFi everywhere is going to blow up in their faces. Sooner or later a script kiddie package will come out that sets up fake APs spoofing all the ISPs login pages to steal credentials and grab sensitive data.
This isn't new. Data aggregators have been operating since before ARPANET existed. Every electronic transaction you make is sold to private brokers for a little extra profit and there are zero regulations on what they do with that data.
All while having to inanely repeat "Ok Google" to wake up the device. I wish their marketing department would be dragged out and shot so we could get a customizable activation phrase like the Moto X has.
I worked in a building right next to a small hydro plant built into a waterfall. A large manufacturing facility nearby also had its own power plant that supplied some of the local houses. During the northeast US blackout of 2003 I rode home after dark and didn't realize the power was out until I got beyond those facilities. Small scale can work.
What they really want is a continuation of the payola system they have now with radio where they get to manipulate the market, promoting only the artists they've anointed and locking everyone else out. Free streaming internet music disrupts that.
Remind me again what "wellHungLo" was supposed to represent?
I wouldn't consider someone who wrote code like that a "superstar". He sounds more like a cowboy coder who couldn't give a shit about code maintenance after he moved on to something else. I would have complained about his shitty naming and if management was too scared to fix such a massive fuckup then you're better off working elsewhere.
Glyphosate has been off patent for years. It is a simple chemical that is cheap to make which is why it's in almost all herbicides now from every manufacturer under the sun.
The delay was necessitated by a lack of investment funding
Maybe because they don't have a rocket, a ship, a way to land, a way to ferry supplies, a way to fund those supplies, or a way to live on another planet long term. Only a fool would dump money on this adventure.
Mainframes didn't exist in WW2. IBM sold Germany tabulator machines like they sold to many other countries around the world. What the Germans did with them aren't IBM's responsibility.
I dont see a problem with changing "choke hold" to "arm bar" is that is what the police call the move that was done.
There is a world of difference between a choke hold and an arm bar. One breaks your arm/elbow and you get to live. The other can be used inappropriately and the recipient ends up dead. They are in no way the same.
90% of what's on Opencores is half-baked student projects. The other 10% I cringe at whenever browsing through the code and see horrible management of basics like clocks and resets.
They've gotta be kicking themselves after seeing how easily the IRS handled sending dirty laundry down the memory hole without (overtly) breaking the law.
IT or STEM? I find that people in government are too dissociated from reality to know the difference. "Who are they? Oh yeah, those boffin people or whatever."

What else can you do with it?
I bet it'll fly the Kessel run in 12 parsecs. Dragon? No way in hell.

More like "Here's my bona fides. Please keep me in mind when it comes time for me to leave for the private sector and you need some wheels greased"
the only thing that will help is all those water-wasters going bankrupt
More like getting massive federal subsidies to make up for their losses from growing crops in a desert.

Yeah. It's not like Slashdot.jp patched slashcode to support Unicode 10+ years ago.

I went to public school in Arkansas in the 80's/early 90's. Learned BASIC on TRS-80, Apple ][e, and IBM PS/2s. We had them then too.

I don't think OpenSSL was even coded. It reads like an OOP nightmare.
This is about putting out FUD so the sharks who have set up short positions on Swiss watch companies can rake in some dough.
It's hard to find a mass-produced watch less than 5mm thick.
Go to eBay and pick a NOS Casio from the 90's. The oversized trend hadn't taken hold at that time.

If they don't bother to change the timestamps to 03/13/37.
Why is anyone still infatuated with screensavers. They don't do anything to "save" an LCD or OLED.

Id love to see the breakdown on where they came up with this number.
1. Lobbyist sticks pipe up some presidential ass
2. Blows smoke about the STEM crisis OMG!!!!
???
4. Wages driven down --> Profit
