I have had a few black coworkers. Perfectly competent individuals who were good to work with. Their jobs were also practically guaranteed as they survived multiple waves of layoffs because the department managers like the boost they provide to their diversity numbers.
I would be really interested in seeing the number of unemployed black tech workers with BS degrees or better. I doubt there are many.
That's a nice story but Asian Americans are all minorities and qualify for affirmative action just as well as any other minority. If they are being discriminated against it is because favoritism is being shown for particular minorities and not an inherent bias in the laws themselves.
You've decided for yourself that integer division must return an integer result even though it isn't always mathematically correct. You don't have to use truncating division unless you need it. On the other hand, unexpected truncation can cause a wide assortment of problems. If you want guaranteed integer division use//. It's been there since 2.2.
The Python 3 division system is more consistent because you always get the correct result and have the choice to throw away precision when it is unwanted. The truncatating operator serves as an indicator to readers that the fractional bits are unneeded in the result. With traditional "polymorphic" division you have to guess the intent and things may break if one of the operands ever changes to a float.
Moreover you shouldn't be dependent on knowing the type of a numeric variable. The Pythonic way is to make things work in the general case and specialize with conversions using int() or// where needed.
The only potential problem is that 2to3 can't figure out where truncating division is needed which could subtly break translated code. The best remedy is to use "from __future__ import division" in all new 2.x code and use the 3.x style division. You will soon learn to use// when truncation is needed.
The problem is that 2.7's unicode is a hack that doesn't play nice with legacy code or 2to3. If you have any legacy code or third party library that expects string to behave like a bytes object, 2to3 will turn them into incompatible unicode strings. If you import unicode_strings from __future__, you get a monkeypatched string class which will cause problems with the existing 2.x code that expects string to behave like a bytes object.
The biggest barrier to the Python 3 transition has been the lack of support from key libraries. That issue is rapidly fading away as most of the major third party libraries have been ported.
It's a little more sophisticated than that given the integrated handwriting recognition. OneNote is a spiritual copy of the original standalone Evernote.
While MC written exams in the US are more stringent, most states have relaxed driving test rules for three-wheeled motorcycles. It is conceivable that these gyro bikes could be grouped in the same category since they have the same self-stabilization as three wheels and require less skill in low speed maneuvering.
There is also the Chinese made Wildfire WF650-C 3-wheeler. An older couple near me has one of these. Takes a bit to get up to speed but 56MPG beats most four wheeled vehicles.
FWIW Vegas is an unsustainable parasite that wouldn't exist if not for gambling and prostitutes. However there are plenty of open spaces with dependable water in less desertified areas of the country.
The revisit time on imaging satellites is limited to weeks or days at best. The swath width of the higher resolution models is too small to conduct an effective search because they're primarily meant to point at known targets and there are huge gaps in coverage. It's not as easy as you think it is and total surveillance doesn't exist quite yet.
If the source can support it, the cable will handle it just fine.
Not necessarily. Some cheap cables don't have enough conductors to safely carry 2A. Also USB-PD is a power delivery extension that allows cables to identify their current limit using the ID pin originally added for OTG. These cables have the standard USB2 or 3 icon enclosed in a "battery" outline.
There are well defined methods for evaluating randomness. The problem is that there is a speed/time tradeoff as you dictate the implementation of systems with more randomness. No one PRNG is appropriate in all cases.
Actually, practically everyone in Japan had oversized cellphones before the iPhone took over. It's all essentially a status thing. Just look at the low iPhone usage across the sea in Korea and China.
Well you could have just pulled a John Edwards or Newt Gingrich and funneled 98% of your income through an LLC with S-corp tax rules to avoid that pesky self employment tax. Get with the times man.
You do realize that insurance only works because there is a pool of healthy people who take out less than they put in. When the day comes that you need insurance you will appreciate how it works.
The biggest problem with our "old" healthcare system is that employer provided benefits hides the true costs involved and allows healthcare providers and insurance companies to ratchet up fees without free market competition. This ends up making it unaffordable for those not lucky enough to get insurance through their employer. ACA, while not without flaws, is the best hope to fix that problem by creating a lower barrier of entry to become insured and fostering more competition. That goal can only be achieved with a mandate that forces healthy people to participate.
Sugar is the horrible POS that made the XO-1 such a sluggish pain to use. If they had developed a lean UI rather than deploying some overarchitected academic project that was clearly never tested on the target hardware it would have been much more appealing.

The issue is not the use of yellow specifically. It's the combination of yellow with gray which is Fluke's "trade livery".

They may be able to boss around the world cup officials but wait til the IOC wields its economic might to force Brazil's hand.
It's always hard to tell a politicians image from reality - behind closed doors she could have been a genius in all things
She isn't. Palin is a prom queen with an overinflated sense of importance with a healthy dose of personality disorder to motivate her.
No better place to get unlicensed Segway clones and other IP violating products.

Now that would be a reliable connector, more power than piddly USB
USB-PD supports 5A at 12V (60W) or 20V (100W). Not so piddly compared to PoE with 720mA at 50V (36W).

Chip and pin is being forced by Visa and Mastercard not the banks.
They don't need to control DNS to do their dirty work.

Just upload encrypted filesystem containers and go about your business.

Typical NASA waste.
