>> How about your company's team (with the prod. servers) does their job, then? And tests and Rolls out the updates BEFORE Windows update automatically installs it.
So...Windows shouldn't be used by small or medium-sized business without IT workstation teams then?
Microsoft, can you confirm?
Yep and they shouldn't use Apple or Linux because of the lack of document compatibility with customers and suppliers. So this leaves us with...
The community college I went to was pretty laid back with most instructors being called by their last name. The other community college in the district was more uptight with instructors insisting on being called "Instructor" before their last name. Never understood that stick-up-the-wazoo attitude, as they were teaching the same material and getting paid the same rate.
I'm a full time engineer who has taught a few classes. I felt like things worked better when I wasn't really positioned above the student. I taught the classes as I'm an engineer and I'm going to try to bring you up to the same level of knowledge. How you e-mail me, how you address me, I don't really care as long as it isn't offensive. When we get to homework or projects, I will tell the students up front it better be written up properly or it will be graded down. But there is time for being formal and time where it just doesn't matter.
No, the question is whether they should be regulated. Appraisals have specific regulations, so if people are using this service in lieu of actual appraisal services...
To me, this seems a bit like Uber claiming "we're not a taxi service" while blatantly offering a slightly different sort of taxi service. Just because they claim "this isn't an appraisal service" doesn't mean it actually *isn't* an appraisal service. They may end up winning if there's a legal definition of "appraisal" that they don't match, of course. I really don't know enough about appraisals or this case to have much of an opinion.
An actual appraisal does require a certified appraiser, at least in some situations: "All states require appraisers to be state licensed or certified in order to provide appraisals to federally regulated lenders. Some states require appraisers to be licensed or certified to provide appraisals for other parties as well." http://www.appraisalinstitute....
This seems to me a bit like suing a website that provides free legal advice with the caveat that they are not lawyers so their advice has no legal standing.
I get feedback from Slashdot. For example, as an IT Support contractor who makes $50K+ in Silicon Valley, the feedback I got is: I don't make enough money to afford the American Dream, I'm a moocher because I work in government IT, I'm not a real IT person since didn't graduate from a CS program with $100K in student loans, I'm fat, ugly and retarded, and, worse, I'm not even ashamed of being fat..
And have your formed a plan of action around the feedback?
The problem is that "hate speech" is it's defined by idiots. A muslim saying that atheists should be killed is seen as an expression of faith. Someone saying that Islam is backwards and violent for sentencing atheists to death is hate speech
I say Austria trying to censor Facebook is hate speech and Facebook should censor Austria.
So do I. But I rarely buy them anymore, because they often cost more than a used paper book. I think that what is killing ebooks is Amazon's "More Buying Choices" tab. Plus, if I buy a paper book, I can resell it when I am done, or at least donate it to Goodwill for someone else to read.
I don't buy paper books because I don't have any real place to store them when I'm done. I don't buy e books when they cost more than physical books. As a result I don't really buy as many books as I used to.
Do they have to have the full price for 6 weeks or just have a price higher than the sale for 6 weeks? If the latter, they can still inflate the apparent sale.
Yeah, because brick and mortar stores have never had flash sales and temporary price reductions people would literally have to run across the store to take advantage of. And Home Shopping Network, QVC, etc, never reduced prices on things at different times of the day or when inventory didn't sell as expected.
Or put higher priced "regular price" stickers on items during a sale.
I grew up with C and still use it but for my own quick programs, I stick with C# now as I can make something work nearly as good as an optimized C program in much less time. If I need performance, I can go back later and work on that.
First the AI needs to recognize it made a mistake. Humans can't recognize they made a mistake unless another human tells them or there is a failure they are already trained to recognize. How does an AI driven car recognize it just blew through a stop sign unless a human on board tells them or some other indication, like crashing into another car?
I think increased processing power will help with bringing in related processing. Not just looking for major things like a recognized stop sign or traffic light, but perhaps observing cross traffic ahead to infer an intersection and then broaden what is accepted as a valid traffic light or stop sign. Or perhaps just integrated road maps to recognize upcoming intersections.
On that topic, team building events. I generally enjoy all my coworkers, but after spending 8-10 hours a day with them, the last thing I want to do for relaxation spend MORE time with them.
The proper event can be good. I liked the time we went to see a showing of Office Space. Most events though seem to be sit around and talk, when I've had enough of that for the day. So I get where you are coming from.
Social time and socializing at work never seem to be the same. I can get along fine with coworkers at work, outside work tends to be a different situation, sometimes better, sometimes worse.
I suppose the company needs to be reminded exactly how valuable their workers are from time to time. Still just rubs me the wrong way.
Yes, it rubs me the wrong way that the company needs to be reminded exactly how valuable their workers are from time to time, too. They should not need to be reminded, especially with such a drastic action. They should be thankful that the workers are there to help them profit, and they should offer them fair compensation for their work without them having to beg, plead... or strike.
Not to mention I've basically used the same type of tactic myself. After years of raises below increase in living I got a job offer for a 10% pay increase, when I told my company they gave me 15% increase to stay. If only I could get this kind of thing done without the threat of not working.
TV can disappear tomorrow and it won't matter. People can get their entertainment the good old fashioned way by going outside instead of staring at a screen.
All to the good, I might add. I swear, I didn't realize how watching several hours of TV each day as a kid had screwed me up until I went a couple of years without owning a TV. Then I got myself a flat screen to put in the living room when I got married and started watching again. Yeesh. Good riddance to the trash merchants. Less money for them means more people are realizing they're putting out crap.
As far as I know, my area doesn't have any forging groups. Forged in Fire could be better at talking about the process but it is still interesting to have in the background. My local short track doesn't open up for a few more weeks so races on television is the best available option for this at the moment, even though they pretty much ignore most of the engineering. WW2 documentaries and similar are great reads but seeing the video fills in a lot of the gaps my imagination fails at.
And watching this on TV makes a lot more sense while I'm working on graduate studies and doctoral research. Bringing my laptop along with me while I go outside and do something isn't that practical. No I'm not going to do the research work with the TV off, in a dead silent room I end up starting at the same line of text for minutes before my brain reengages. Nice nearly mindless background noise works nice to look up for a minute and then go back to studies.
Strikes always seemed like a lousy negotiating tactic to me. I don't want to work with you, I want to shut you down if you don't pay me more. But I suppose the company needs to be reminded exactly how valuable their workers are from time to time. Still just rubs me the wrong way.

So now we'll have marxapedia to contrast with conservapedia..
A fitting addition to the age of Fake News and Alternative Facts.
History is written by the winner, or something.
Even if there is no suitable launch window in a decade, put him in the rocket and let him test it anyway. It could make America great again!
Or find a way to get the funding out of him that would be necessary to hit Mars during his one (please?) term of president.
I happen to like eBooks very much.
So do I. But I rarely buy them anymore, because they often cost more than a used paper book. I think that what is killing ebooks is Amazon's "More Buying Choices" tab. Plus, if I buy a paper book, I can resell it when I am done, or at least donate it to Goodwill for someone else to read.

I've had Charter Spectrum for years. No data caps and my average download speed is 66 Mbps. You'll love Charter.
Depending on your area. Spectrum is awesome where I am but I've heard horror stories about other areas.
They don't have to pay their workers for the time they're on strike. Seems to me you could just replace them.
That did happen to the engineering technicians at a company my dad worked at one time.
I suppose the company needs to be reminded exactly how valuable their workers are from time to time. Still just rubs me the wrong way.

Don't land ~50 feet short or long if making a straight landing on a circle runway...
That landing looks terrifying...
Minor correction, but 240km/h is the neutral speed in lane 4, the speed where you don't have to turn, any faster you start having to turn.
Thank you for the correction. My posting fail.
AND... what about passenger comfort?
What does that have to do with airlines?
