I would assume letting an automated car on the road would need to be more like a series of drug trials. First test them in controlled situations, and then graduate them to situations where you are assured of meeting every kind of real world traffic and whether situation imaginable. Once they can get through all of that, then they are safe for public use.
What I'm saying is.. make it easy for companies who employ Americans to do business in America. Understand the value that access to the American market has, and leverage that so if businesses choose to leave, it becomes more expensive for them to operate in America without becoming prohibitively expensive to do so. If they still consider America too expensive to operate in, and choose to abandon the American market altogether and make a go of it in India then so be it. As I said, we'll be fine.
I'll try command-space, but I thought that just opened up the search field which does something different then I'm talking about. The search seems to search through everything, not just executables. Also, it is pretty slow on my machine.
I'm saying if I want to use a menu in a windows app repeatedly over the next while, I have the option of arranging the windows so that the menu is always visible. No such option in OSX.
Compare any OSX application to any similar Windows application. In any given menu there will be more choices in the Windows application.
My point is, OSX really messed up directory structures that have long been standard in unix. Also, shell scripts are not compatible. Why can't I make 'display_date.sh' in my Desktop folder and click on the icon and have it run?
A lot of people who say they like OSX for it's usability then go on and talk about the applications. Mail.app and safari are not considerations in this article.
Oh I know that is happening, but that's not what I'm talking about. The problem is that it remains too profitable for those corporations to leave and still have access to the American market. They should be free to leave the US, but then they lose free and open access to the American market. Companies should be paying an offset tax to operate from another country. Their margins will go down.. Some will decide that the American market is no longer profitable and leave altogether, thus leaving room for other American companies to start up. As it sits right now, they leave and remain too powerful for anything else from our country to compete.
If I get hit by an automated car, I sure hope my insurance agency sues Google. Furthermore, if I have an automated car and it gets into an accident it's not my fault so I'm not paying insurance for it, Google can pay the bill.
Say the US started making things difficult on corporations and they started leaving. I promise you, I would stay and I would start a corporation that starts to rebuild part of it. I can honestly say that I would be interested in providing jobs for all the western world, and I would not demand 800x the salary of everyone else. I can fairly confidently say there will be thousands that join me and we would be ok.
You are obviously not one of the ones with the power to change the game. This makes you one of the targets, you just haven't been affected as much by it yet.
When the majority call him out for going back on his word, he will laugh and call him idiots... just like he has always done and always will do. We take personal integrity for granted in politics because we see such little evidence of it, but mark my words we will see the difference between a person who has a little personal integrity and absolutely no personal integrity if Trump is voted in.
The problem is, Sandars has good ideas but if he can't get them through congress then we are screwed. So, long story short, we have no solution because our very system of democracy ensures that the people who have the resources to run for power will get their way, not just the people we vote for.
You're confused. It is firmly a national issue, but the thing causing the national issue is the fact that corporations have been allowed to tap into global markets and take full advantage of the one upside to those markets which is cheap labor. This is also bringing in the downside and making it the problem of every average american. I don't know about you, but I was raised to consider our nation great because we had freedom from oppression and now we are being sold out and the things we have been taught to respect our nation for are all along are the cost we are being asked to bear. While there are serious global issues of poverty that should be solved, they are issues that need to be solved over many generations and largely by the nations where the issues exist. The workers of the western world should not be asked to bear the burden of it, especially while the 1% of the western world continue to do nothing but profit from it.
The post I was responding to said, specifically, that people at the non-800x level were not properly recognizing the effort and intelligence put in. I was challenging that, since without unions we get a CEO that is paid at 800x the rate, we must explain how the CEO is putting in 800x the effort (and is 800x more intelligent) to for that argument to hold true. At any rate, I've never seen a union pay scale without tiers for various levels of work so the whole argument is kind of beside the point anyway. What I see unions doing is kind of ending up flat because they still must operate in a system where the CEO makes that 800x AND get a golden parachute for the reward of messing up royally.
OSX is tricker to setup, meaning you must download an illegal VM image from an illegal torrent site that will break if you do ANY updates (which you will eventually be nagged nonstop to do). Also you must run a specific version of vmware with the setting tweaked, preferably on an Intel CPU. And if you ever try to ask for help with it anywhere, prefer to be treated like you put your pee pee into the back of sheep.
Actually I beg to differ. OSX seems to be entirely optimized for web browsing to me, which is completely opposite of being optimized for development. Because this is a thread geared towards developers on a geek site, claiming that OSX is the best, I would expect to see all kinds of well thought out cases as to why OSX is NOT the best for this king of work along with a lot of confusion why anyone would think OSX is the best. So far I have seen exactly what I would expect to see, with no good cases for OSX that anyone can explain, which leads us to to conclusion that the survey had a biased sample in some way.
If this isn't the purpose of discussing anything on Slashdot I don't know what is.
Yet countless times when I ask an OSX expert "How do I... (some advanced thing)", they refer me to the terminal window.... Where things are now more difficult because nothing is standard at all and almost nothing runs with the command line.
Then can you please tell me how I expand the logging window in xcode? To this day I have not been able to figure out how to free it from it's little small dock area and make it a BIG WINDOW that I can actually see.
Then I fail to see how OSX help you. You're just frustrated with menus, period. So learn to use hotkeys.. they are usually mostly all listed in the X-windows menu you hate. Take a sip of coffee, review them for three seconds, and never have to use the menu again.
Studies are usually theoretical... They come up with a hypothesis that does nothing for people in the real world.. such as 'we want to maximize screen space' (really, in a world with 4K and 30" monitors??) and then figure out what is best for that.. rather then actually having real people use real things and ask them what frustrates them the least.

Have you ever tried to use a GPS in a parkade, under several feet of concrete?

What company has left? The same large corporations have been doing business with the American public as long as I can remember.
The difference is, linux is free.

Trump seems upset as well, and he is reaching people who are upset. I'm simply an upset person who is also too intelligent to fall for it.

They selected people who love to do web surveys, of course!

Windows is a Ford F-150, Linux is a Ford F-350, and OSX is a 30-foot luxury yacht.
