How does one measure the distance to a cloud? Are they measuring to one specific star in the cloud? If not... How to measure the distance to something that has no defineable edges or centre?
They wouldn't do that unless they have code to data mine it before and after it's transmitted in encrypted form, and that mined data can be easily intercepted by the powers that be.
Speak for yourself about same roads and houses. The standard of living in Western countries where I live has consistently gone downhill since the 1980s. Personally I can't even imagine owning the kind of houses my parents could afford back then. That kind of good living is out of reach for me.
GameboyRMH is essentially insisting on denying reality because he doesn't like the consequences of admitting the truth. He says so himself. What strange religous belief system causes him to openly deny reality I don't know, but it appears to be one hell of a drug.
So "acknowledging and accommodating" human nature to you means either allowing sexual harrassment in the workplace, or allowing unrestrained sexism? You have such a small imagination. There's an entire kaliedescope of options beyond the current anti-scientific Liberal mindsent that humans are simply genderless robots ready to be programmed with the latest newspeak.
By your own admission, you prefer denying the truth of human nature because you imagine bad consequences. The failure is your imagination.
We have yet to figure out how to make corporate management act morally and responsibly. But expecting regular working class shmucks to be able to without help makes sense to you??? How about we acknowledge human nature and design our working environments around that? Does that really sound so bad?
Thanks Chris, this is well spoken. Yours isn't specifically a study of evidence directly, but an analysis of myriad studies and evidences and theories, especially in areas where the science isn't so much "settled", but rather, there are competing and often contradictory explanations for observed phenomenon. This is real science, keep it going. All theories need to be examined for validity, and some are very tricky to rule out.
No warranty. Call me old fashioned, but for some things I prefer the extended warranty plans of brick and mortar stores. Money doesn't grow on trees around here, and replacing a tablet that craps out is a non-trivial issue.
My nexus 7 works amazingly well as a speaker phone. I have VOIP software installed, I have my own number, and pay pennies a month for phone service anywhere I have LTE signal. Every time I thought of getting a modern cell phone, I looked at the monthly fees and changed my mind in a hurry.
The warranty does not extend to my country. I like warranties for expensive products. For expensive things I prefer buying from established brick and mortar stores, so that I can drive down and shake a manager by their shirt collar if they refuse to honour a warranty.
That's because tablets these days suck. I own a 2nd Gen Nexus 7, and it's still my main tablet. When I walk into a tech store, and they ask if they can help me, I say "I doubt it." They see it as a challenge... So I show them my 5 year old tablet, and say "I want an upgrade that's in this price range, and I don't want an Apple product." They offer a few products to me, but basic things like screen resolution, storage size, or RAM are either equivalent or WORSE than my 5 year old tablet. I would buy the Huawei Mediapad M5 in a heartbeat were it sold at a store I could go to.
I think I know why. Marketing now runs the industry, not technology improvements. When technology dictated what was more or less expensive, the rule was that the smaller the phone, the bigger the price. Miniturization means the highest price. Now that the public has gotten used to tiny devices, tech companies have arbitrarily decided that larger devices should carry the premium. Larger device with a larger price tag is now the new normal.
By this rationale, a tablet should always carry an astromical price tag. Tablets with an LTE modem are essentially cell phones with the "talking" portion of the software disabled. Essentially, the big players in the market have deliberately neglected the tablet industry to maximize their profits in their "premium" phone brands. In this crazy industry, "bigger" is more expensive, which means tablets have no place.
Just don't pretend that it only goes one way. Youtube treats their content creators like garbage and gets away with it because of the same principle of Internet anonymity. Hiding behind an algorithm to screw people out of their livelyhoods is at least as evil. Whether it's toxicly narcissistic gamers, or toxicly narcissistic bosses, it's the same thing.
I don't like to do business with anyone I can't find in real life and shake by the shirt collar if they fuck with me. Youtube is so reliant on algorithms and anonymity that they forget that people can track them down and give them what-for. They feel so insulated from their user base that they treat them like crap with impunity. If they had to shake hands and make eye contact with the people they partner with, they would never treat people this horribly.
Whoever authored the science news did not check their facts. Scholz's Star had an estimated absolute magnitude of 11.4 at closest approach, which is nowhere near visible enough to be seen with the naked eye. Unless telescopes were in use 70,000 years ago, it's clear that nobody would have had any clue what was going on.
Since Google almost exclusively hires high IQ people, Damore is absolutely right in saying that men have the edge on women. Anyone who doesn't understand why doesn't understand math and statistics.
By the way, that graph shows that men and women are equally intelligent on average. The Google discrepancy is a quirk of statistics and of the industry only wanting to hire above average people. If Google insisted on not discriminating by intelligence, and had diversity hiring by IQ, then the problem would disappear.
Have one look at that graph that shows mens and women's IQ is the same. Then, understanding that Google only chooses high IQ talent, you will know everything you need to about gender discrepancy and tech. Men and women are on average just as smart as each other, but different enough from each other to make a difference in SOME fields, such as tech. That same graph explain also why men outnumber women in some of the worst drugery and dangerous jobs.
Where you see shame, I see honour and respect. It took generations for the public to learn the truth about his genius and tragedy. What better historical revenge than to slap HIS name on all the best and brightest things mankind creates with electricity? I can't think of a more just legacy. I think if science were to resurrect him, we would see tears of joy as the world lovingly respects his discoveries and hard work.

I wonder when VLC will add support for stepping through videos frame by frame?
The paper which was basically excerpts from "Mein Kampf" but replaced "Jews" with "White Male Oppressors" probably counts.

Yes. Every currency has blood on it. How many have been murdered for the cash in their wallets? Time to ban money entirely.
USA had the most cars on the road by a long shot during the age of leaded gasoline.

Is anyone else noticing the irony of the android engineer's signature tag?
Can you elaborate? Not that I doubt you, rather, I'm very curious as to what problems, how, and why.
In the USA they don't even give them back.
Let's start with printers, photocopiers, faxes and PC's and hand calculators. They put hundreds of thousands of office workers out of work.
