Um... money is a medium of exchange. It's not worth anything in itself.
And companies invest money in programmers, in the hopes of making more money than they invested. But only so they can trade that money for other stuff.
So your question is oddly nonsensical. Like asking "is thirst more valuable than sideways" or something.
The criticism comes a few days after Chrome's engineering manager Adrienne Porter Felt told the American website Wired that URLs need to be got rid of altogether.
That would mark the final transition of the desktop to "apps"...
'course, you'll need a way to organize your "apps". Maybe we could come up with some sort of naming scheme...
.. 110% think they have Asperger. Or they say that they think that.
I dunno, first you have the selection bias of people who respond to surveys, and then I think people often say what they think is expected of them, or what they "should" think...
We are told we need single-family houses to make us happy and wealthy - so we buy single-family houses. We are told we need cars to make us happy and productive - so we buy cars.
Mass transit has no effective marketing. It's just there, like municipal water service. You can use it or ignore it. And as we keep telling people that the "good life" is outside the city - and hence outside the reach of many transit systems - they don't invest the effort in using them.
Or... maybe some people actually just have preferences different from yours.
but throwing any election into chaos is totally doable right now."
"Chaos"?
First of all, we would know that how, lol? Aren't they all chaos?
In any case, real elections are "chaos"... in real elections there's real potential for the voters to actually choose something different, whether the elites like it or not.
That feels like "chaos" to the people who think that only one party should rule and that any other parties are to be kept around only for appearances sake.
Mars colonization is many, many years away. Since we humans here on earth are belching out CO2 like it's going out of style, why don't we start doing some of that here? Let's make earth more inhabitable.
If a chemical process works on Mars it will almost certainly work here. It's also possible that this is Mars-focused to avoid the inevitable political wrangling if it was directly aimed at climate change.
Dang straight. We need to teach CO2 not to greenhouse, not sequester it!
The summary (and you really don't expect me to read TFA do you?) does not make clear at all why this would be a bad thing.
The researchers found the microbiomes of those who had taken the probiotics had suffered a "very severe disturbance." "Once the probiotics had colonized the gut, they completely inhibited the return of the indigenous microbiome which was disrupted during antibiotic treatment," said Eran Elinav, an immunologist at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel and lead author on the studies.
OK. Is that a bad thing then?
Is the "indigenous" microbiome automatically better than the probiotic? (Maybe it has cool costumes and casinos and stuff)?
I mean, it might be better, but the summary isn't giving us any hint why
When the subject of meetings comes up here I am always baffled by the number of comments where people complain about meetings. Am I alone at working somewhere where meetings generally have point and result in important decisions being made? I can only think of one meeting I have attended in the past year I would call a waste of time (and that one was hosted by a client) The rest were by and large necessary in order to proceed on projects. Is this because I don't work in software development?
No, you're not alone. Most of our meetings are purposeful and useful.
In fact, I'd say the conference call meetings top the list of useful meetings. They are either a meeting with a client or partner, or else a meeting that is unavoidable despite people being out.
The headline can be taken two ways... the identity theft Armageddon didn't happen either. Did it?
The interesting question would be why... I know I put a fraud alert on my credit bureau accounts (and have kept renewing it), but did most people really do that?
The investors in Theranos were an example of people being extremely ignorant of technology. Someone who understood would ask a few questions and immediately determine something was wrong.
"We looked at it a couple times, but there was so much hand-waving -- like, Look over here! -- that we couldn't figure it out," Maris tells Business Insider. "So, we just had someone from our life-science investment team go into Walgreens and take the test. And it wasn't that difficult for anyone to determine that things may not be what they seem here."
No kidding. The real question was why anybody let it get as far as it did.
The answer is not one anybody that wants to hear. She was a young, pretty woman. She was perfect for magazine covers, men turned off their brains, and... yes, she was a woman CEO! And a "woman in tech"! How many more boxes could she possibly check?
She couldn't possibly have had the deck stacked any more for her. The only thing she lacked was a working product...
So, police searching by characteristics that a suspect, you know, has, is bad? Why?
I've long joked that our national obsession with race would lead to people being unwilling to simply describe people ("well officer, he was... er... tall?") but I guess reality has outrun my sense of humor at this point.
This isn't a problem with US scientists, as the published paper uses SI units throughout, no "miles" anywhere. The problem is space.com, dumbing down its science reporting to prevent its readers' brains from exploding, or something like that.
Well I beg to differ with that perception. American readers who are interested in the sciences can handle SI units just fine, it's only people with no STEM interest at all who curl up into a fetal position whenever their brains turn on. Don't paint everyone with that brush.
The solution is simple: give space.com a wide berth, or send them negative feedback about their mishandling of science.
Or, you know, a news source that writes in the popular style could just use the units that its readers use every day.
But that wouldn't give us that little shivery feeling of superiority, would it now?
I'm all for the "stuff that matters" part, but this is political minutiae. If there was a tech angle fine, but I don't see any. If the editors are going to greenlight political stories stick to the major ones. Not some random staffer who's dad probably made him take the job. I mean, we've got a SCOTUS nomination process going on right now...
It suits the politics of the current people who run the site.

Global warming solved!
Not only do we get rid of the extra CO2, we finally get the Big Rock Candy Mountain that I've always dreamed about!

I hear them in a fake Russian accent, posted by a mere troll.

And it gets page clicks.
We've come quite a ways if "website has glitch" is big news.
