No it doesn't. It shows that I am fed up with Apple fanboy assholes. They are the biggest pricks I have ever met. Condescending, rude, asshole dill-bags. Frankly Android sucks right now, my phone crashes all the time. Im probably going to buy a iPhone but not for the stupid reasons early adopter Apple-heads do.
There are other types of fanboi's so I am not sure what your point is. Its spin-off of "Ladyboi" and "fan boy", somehow equating a person that is overly obsessed with any particular thing to being transgendered or gay or something.
Categorically, Macs offer similar hardware performance to a cheaper PC without factoring in OS. If you factor in OS you get ahead on a Mac. The body design is also better than most laptops, but I have seen a few that are almost same. The battery life hands down wins over the majority of other manufacturers. The iPad is also pretty innovative and powerful compared to most competition on the market. So, I am not an Apple hater. However, I routinely get lumped in there by Apple fanboi pricks whenever I criticize Apple AT ALL. I also seem to get bombarded with messages about how my hardware sucks in comparison to Macs. Seriously. Try criticizing Macs or the iPad sometime here on / . and see how many trolls you get. Just from my prior post its already beginning the deluge of asshattery.
Well, to be fair, plenty of people did push for tighter regulations on nuclear power after that event. Im pretty liberal, but I also think nuclear power is essential. Solar is find and dandy, as is wind, but you can't rely totally on these methods when an asteroid hits the Earth or our weather patterns change. Furthermore, I hate Apple fanboi's. They are the biggest pricks of all time. I have nothing against Apple products, even want a couple myself when I can afford it, but their little following of teet-sucklers really bother me. If you criticize Android or Google you end up with one or two well thought out responses. If you criticize anything Apple you get about twenty, and half of them are trolls. Simply put, I have never seen a company have such a devoted following as Apple, and I fail to see why when there are other products that exist that can do the same thing or do some aspect better. Furthermore, I fail to see why Apple fanboi's are such dicks about it too, and have to go out of their way to tell you what you own sucks in comparison to what they own.
Thats a funny thing to say. I haven't meant a group of people with more delusions than Apple fanboi's. They still think their Mac's are superior in every way regardless of what evidence you throw in front of them. They also routinely act like assholes when anyone criticizes Apple's business practices or products at all. They also tend to be major Apple apologists no matter what underhanded crap Apple pulls or no matter how often Apple proves its just like every other big business tech. corp. To an Apple fanboi, everyone that isn't an Apple fanboi is an "Apple Hater", even if they like PC's and own some Apple products.
Given that the author of the article is a fanboi I wouldn't take anything he says very seriously. Apple stores a month or more location data on the phone, Google stores about a week. This behavior is coming from a company that always claims to be the "most secure" and "consumer privacy friendly".
Apple fanboi's have a weird insecurity and chronic need to feel like they are better or, at the very least, the same so I am not surprised they tried to find something like this. The fact remains that the iPhone has far more data (month vs. week) that is stored over Android does. Furthermore, Apple routinely touts themselves as consumer privacy friendly and the "most secure". Obviously keeping a month's worth of cell tower and wifi locations you were in proximity to without letting the user know ahead of time proves that they aren't as secure nor as privacy friendly as they claim. Nice work.
I also remember reading about another project I cannot find that actually DID achieve the ability to manufacture all the parts but the electronics from the original machine. It could only make things with limited materials though.
Imperial units are much easier to understand intuitively. For example, 100 Fahrenheit is too damn hot for a human, 0 Fahrenheit is too damn cold. If we talk celsius, 100 degrees celsius would burn you pretty bad, and 0 isn't really uncomfortable at all with a coat. One foot you can pace off approximately with your own foot or measure with your forearm making it a reasonable measure you can use your own body to estimate things with. To use meters on the other hand you have to carry around a stick. A pound is about the size of a rock you can carry in one hand and lift comfortably. Coincidentally its also about the weight of food you might want to eat at one time. A kilogram on the other hand is 2.2 times heavier. Imperial units are much easier to use intuitively as a human. Thats the whole reason it was created in the first place. Its an easy system to use for estimating by eye.
Metric is equally arbitrary, and here in the US we have a "feel" for imperial units. Why change something for something that is equally arbitrary when you have to rebuild your intuition about the whole system?
The thing is, the meter is based on an entirely arbitrary measurement as its some fraction of the distance between the Pole and the equator. The foot is equally arbitrary so why bother using something else? Imperial measurements seems more natural to me, so why should I learn to have intuition about a new system that is equally arbitrary. I understand how to use metric, but I have a "feeling" for imperial units.
I don't believe in hell. Basically you want to allocate the resources to those who use them the best. Capitalism accomplishes this but also has its drawbacks, as does any system including anarchy, socialism and communism. Chronic welfare people that never look for a job obviously should not have control of millions of dollars because they won't use it efficiently and instead probably blow it on stupid crap. The system we have today is not even capitalism because it stifles competition and innovation with stupid laws and gives unfair advantage to the rich. We aren't even free for that matter. The government wont even let you produce certain things and consume them, i.e. alcohol, weed, cocaine, etc.
I never said any of that, at least not in this post, but I concur that working hard can pay off. The problem in this country is that too many people don't work hard their whole lives and it still pays off for them. Typically these people aren't billionaires, but they still make the average Joe look poor.
I don't want to get in the way of progress by banning automation, nor do I want a society without rich and poor people. I just want a society that has jobs for people so they can feed their families and own a house outright one day. As it is corporations are sitting on 1.6 trillion in capital they can spend. There HAS to be worthwhile projects they could finance with that which would increase revenue in the long run. Instead these corporate types are patting themselves on the back and giving themselves huge record breaking bonuses that will be spent probably on foreign goods and invested in a hedge fund. Hell, even the government could try to fund some projects. 1.5 trillion goes to SS and Medicare and 0.6 to defense. The former shouldn't be needed to be so damn high in a well functioning society because there should be work and medical care should be reasonably affordable. The latter shouldn't be so damn high either because we don't need to have such a huge military in comparison to the rest of the world, nor do we need a presence in the middle east if we would actually develop our oil reserves in the states. There is a HUGE amount of oil estimated to be underneath the Rockies and also in North Dakota / Montana / Canada that the Canadians already are tapped into and selling to us. As a young mathematics and engineering educated person with a MS in applied math I feel cheated by our miserable society that I can't get a job.
No true Scotsman fallacy. I can have an open mind and disagree with them. Small government? I don't really agree with that because we will end up with robber barons again, though the budget needs to be slashed significantly. States rights? Sure. The feds get involved in too much shit the states could handle by themselves. Im not so cool with the sort of types they attract, i.e. racists, religious nuts, etc., even if there is no "true" party or more often than not they are reasonable. You can watch videos on youtube of tea party people harassing Muslims and appealing to god as a reason to do something. Whenever someone does that its usually horse shit.
Dude, tea party members actually believe Muslims are trying to institute sharia law in the US and regularly harass them. They also denied a black man from being in the party. Sure, not all of them are racists, but it draws enough of them to be worrisome.
If the work doesn't pay off their massive student loans to get there then they actually have worse problems working than not. You can at least make a reasonable case for bankruptcy or delay of payment if you have no job and collect welfare.
Ive applied to some financial analyst type positions as well as actuarial. I didn't get any call backs and when I did a follow up call they never got back to me OR I couldn't find a number to call OR it was specifically requested that I don't do follow up calls. The TA position I think I was not offered because one of my letters of recommendation came in later than the priority date. They also mentioned positions typically go to those that pass the preliminary exams. The thing is, the prelims are easy. Its only on applied linear algebra and applied analysis, both of which I basically learned my first year here (Ive been here three total) and I clearly have them on my transcript. One problem with that is the PhD program is not as strong because of the easier preliminary exams, but I plan to make up for that with performance and curriculum. Im thinking computational mathematics/statistics. Thanks for the tips. I hope next month when I graduate I will get some offers. I applied to some internships so I will update my CV at that point.

Thats a big difference since Apple stores about a months worth of locations.

This is being done with other forms of replicators. The problem with legos is they aren't really sturdy material.

How exactly does the "find my iPhone" work then if this information is not able to be retrieved by Apple?

Before Obama it was Bush. Really we should be angry at the senators and representatives.

Send me 14k and I will be a happy man.

Im a fresh young graduate. The overqualified thing is true. I never get calls back on jobs that only require a BS.
