"looking forward to meeting and hearing directly from the Cuban people."
He can't be that stupid. Can he?
He's going to hear from a carefully selected Potemkin village of people who fear for their lives and freedom if they say anything less than glowing things about life in Cuba.
How are they supposed to cross? Without lights, there could just be continuous stream of them walking over the road and cars can't pass since they try to avoid hitting them thus causing even bigger jams in big city centers.
Well duh, we'll just have to have self-driving pedestrians too. Luddite!
Women *are* objects of male desire... objects in the sense of subject/object, not in the sense of "things to be used".
Most men are heterosexual, and they do like to see scantily clad women. That isn't going to change.
(whether that means you should pay scantily clad women to attend events is a different question. But if you shouldn't, it's not because men "shouldn't" like looking at women. Because they should, and do.)
There are points of view that in 2016 can get you fired, get angry mobs outside your house, and so forth, but I'm not sure that they are the points of view that you think they are.
I'm probably missing out on something but couldn't most of the C64 code be run on most other BASIC interpreters as well? Especially if the code was intended to be child / introductory level?
Much of it probably could. Peek and poke graphics would get interesting though...
$165,000.00 for a 972 sqft mobile home on 1.08 acres? Christ, I could buy over 200 acres for less than that around here, and still have plenty left over to build a house.
Free state my ass. More like rip you off on cost of living state.
The trouble with cheap land is that it's a long way from where you want to be.
This fact raises the obvious question: why the hell didn't the Western powers stop him earlier? Why did they try to appease a man who so clearly stated his intentions? Were they, England and France, complete morons?
Why do we try to appease now people who so clearly state their intentions? (in Arabic, Farsi, etc. )
Should this woman be driving? That is not for me, you or any judge to decide. Only a medical professional can advise this woman on that matter. It is up to her to decide what she does with that advice.
I was with you until that last sentence. it is not solely up to her whether she should be allowed to drive (on public roads, anyway). Driving on public roads is not a right.
They are not 'making a mistake.' In this case, left and right are ambiguous. It is why is real situations like this (eg a director telling a dancer which way to point) the terms 'stage left' or 'house left' would be used. Or at the very least, 'your left' or 'my left'.
Precisely.
"Left" and "right" only have meaning in context. In this situation, the viewer's frame of reference is stable, while the turtle's (or whatever's) is not, so it makes just as much sense to use the viewer's frame of reference.
Could this be because the school systems in these other countries are funded in a way where the budget is less dependent on local taxes. If the money is region/nationalized you don't end up with the more prosperous cities having nicer schools because they have higher income from local property taxes.
School funding in Michigan changed a long time ago, on precisely this theory. (Had nothing to do with sticking a needle in the eye of those evil "wealthy" districts, no no.) School funding now comes mainly from a higher sales tax. Your school has more kids? You get more money. Per pupil stuff.
Strangely enough, Detroit schools still suck, and the "wealthy" districts still don't (as much). So no, that wasn't it.
What is Google worth to the US beyond simple corporate tax revenues? I suspect that at first blush that having a Google in your country would be worth a shocking amount.
Ya think? It's almost like capitalism works or something.
But no, instead we want "free" health care, theoretically paid for by all that theoretical tax we could be collecting if those darn international companies didn't do legal things to minimize their tax exposure.
Things I like about Thunderbird: Supports multiple email accounts; simple interface; storage structure is not one monolithic file; plain text email editor; filtering.
Should the lesson be "doing anything remotely suspicious while brown is punishable, and suspicious is what officials want it to be"?
It's not about being "brown", ass.
People that we generously let in here are shooting us because of their sick, twisted "religion" (which is more of a social system than anything we would think of as a religion). They are at war with their neighbors all over the world, and anywhere they do gain power they create a "religious" police state that is actually what leftists merely imagine Christianity to be.
Yet leftists love them, like some kind of Stockholm syndrome.
So yes, context matters. People will be on edge. It's freaking 1942, and it's not time to do suspicious things while speaking German.
Males have a ridiculous number of advantages when it comes to becoming entrepreneurs, having the occasional female-specific event to try and correct some of the imbalance does not count as discrimination.
Uber works because the requirements are clear: drive someone from point A to B.
AirBnB works because the requirements are clear: rent a place to stay
This isn't the same. Software requirements are different every time and aren't 100% defined.
Precisely this.
Real programmers and business analysts find requirements and estimating hard. These guys will get it right - really super right, they'd have to - in 10 minutes? Because apps and AI?
Slashdot Mirror
Firefox became a bloated monster (built in weird chat client, seriously?). Microsoft ... well, yeah.
Opera became ... skinned Chrome.
What's left? Chrome.
Really? The driver and passenger are each given a password / secret code in order to verify each other? This certainly has never been done before.
In taxi service? Probably not.

But ... but ... robots! Google! I for one welcoming our new overlords! How can this be?

... the fact that it has sensitive shutdown measures is a bad thing?
You could fit a typical student record on a 3x5 card ... suck it up and just tell the crooks to go pound sand.
Assuming that payroll wasn't handled by one of the servers affected...
Housed in the elementary school, instead of at the district level?
In any case, if they can't piece together what they were paying people ... sheesh.

Yes, privacy and secrecy are not the same thing. That's what they don't get.
That I have all the usual parts is no secret. But I don't display them because they are private. Simple.

Sounds like it's where he wants to be, though.
I thought everyone just worked on their production code on the live web server like I do...?
cPanel code editor, baby! I got your "professional" right here!
Cloud, schmoud.
cPanel's code editor is my main tool!

.... uh oh, colliding leftist hipster priorities!
Their mindless love of Apple is well known ... and the CEO is even differently attracted, oh joy!
But ... dodging taxes? Horrifying! Does not compute ... head must explode like a 1960's sci fi robot trapped in a contradiction ...

Fair? Who died and left you the king of "fair"?

"Advantages"? Like what?
"Correct"? Why is there a need to "correct"?
