I had a visceral reaction to the article. This is because they are pointing out the obvious and then pretending they are performing some kind of public service and pat themselves on the back.
Do they really think the data centers don't know these things? Do they really think they are not trying to address them? Power costs are pretty high up on the balance sheet and anyone who's been paying attention knows there are millions of dollars spent on researching ways to bring those costs down.
So it's kind of like a guy standing at a car wreck watching the rescuers trying to pull someone from a car and saying, "if you don't get that guy out of there, he's gonna die". No Shit Sherlock.
Just shows that reporters are idiots. Always have been and always will be.
one could build and consistently apply a mental model of program execution; the other appeared either unable to build a model or to apply one consistently
You would be surprised at how many places in the Caribbean are very reasonable about firearms. Most simply want you to declare them and lave them on the boat. Others will want you to let them see that they are locked up. Others will want to impound them. Most are on the up and up. Some will try to scam you.
Several well concealed, yet accessible firearms. Pistols as well as some kind of AR. The ocean's a big place and there ain't any 911.
That said, be sure you read up on the firearms rules for every place you might find yourself. If they don't want you to be able to protect yourself, you don't want to go there.
Some idiot "researcher" will put out a study that condemns CA and/or the U.S. for not having adequate systems/procedures/etc. in place to detect and treat this even though it is not native to the U.S. and is largely brought in by immigrants.
It's the same things a Texas being condemned for a low graduation rate without recognizing the huge number of illegals that can't speak English and don't stick around long enough to graduate.
All these other athletes were busted but never Lance. It must have really pissed off the USADA. That's the reason for their vendetta.
They manage to find a bunch of other loser dopers who will say Lance did it too, but they won't say who they are and won't give any evidence. They just want Armstrong in some twisted arbitration where they will trot out liar after liar, with no proof.
Armstrong was right to tell them to fuck off and die. And I hope they all do.
I don't think it would be a good idea to try to compete with airlines in the sense that they would be pressured or put out of business altogether.
I would expect that there would be a tsunami of political pressure to avoid affecting the airline business.But the volume trains could do now would be a pin prick compared to airline volume.
I think that AMTRAK is missing the boat here and there is a big opportunity for other companies to bring back traveling by train big time.
First, there is a constant drone of opinion and advice to slow life down.
Second, as mentioned in the summary, traveling by air is a giant PINA.
I think that if done right, rail travel could be cheaper than air travel and much more pleasant.
Done right =
1. Non-stop routes. 2. Good food at normal restaurant rates. 3. Technology accommodations (Wireless, chargers, etc.) 4. Of course sleeping accommodations.
I've looked at traveling by rail instead of air before but at the moment it is much more expensive to go the same distance and includes and unreasonable number of stops (they have it like a stupid commuter bus). I seem to remember that I could have driven and saved almost two days over AMTRAK.
Now, where can I get a few billion dollars for start up costs (not including the money to buy off politicians)?
1. Sloppy work. 2. Work filled with errors (not just sloppy, but defective). 3. Resentment. 4. It puts the company as risk of sabotage and theft. 5. A bad reputation....does anyone really want to work at Dell?
I think that in all likelihood the vast majority of achievements in the world came from people who were NOT compelled to work 12 hour days. They may have been working long hours, but they did that because of their passion or competitive drive...they wanted to.
But unless you are on some legitimate high states deadline, long days for the sake of longs days is a bad idea all the way around.
Frankly, I'd just as soon not have you here if 1) you don't like us 2) you don't intend to become one of us 3) You are just going to get on Federal aid.

So it will quickly be covered with Gang Graffiti and littered with condoms and needles.
Well, for the Frozen Peas alone, they should just be abolished...yuck!

So..Programmers and Managers.

I swear I saw this kind of shit in Popular Science or Popular Mechanics when they both still painted their covers.

And I just bought my first new TV in 15 years...55" 1080p.
I knew I should have waited longer!
I hope they calibrated the testing equipment.
I seem to remember that the Hubble mirror passed all the tests, but that the test equipment wasn't calibrated correctly.
Political Conventions are where you want to hang out if you are looking for sleazy types.
Alright...you can't respond to my saying it could work if they do it right by saying it might not because they won't do it right.
And they are poorer parents for it.
You get me there and put me up in a Villa for the week and I'll be happy to tell them that! :-)

Chuckie Schumer has already come out against needless inter-solar violence and wants a ten day waiting period on lasers.
But I thought they were all just called Monster Machines.

And is the only way for South American Immigrants to get to the U.S.
Get whoever is close by to you to smack you upside the head.
No we are not. But you are apparently ignorant of the migration path of immigrants from South America.
