You say nationalism and populism like they're bad things. Carried to the extreme, like you're implying, they can be. But in moderation, both can good for raising the national morale and having a leadership that is more responsive to the desires of the people.
Sure, small doses is fine, but when does it ever stop at small doses?
How is it not clear that.a bunch of people turning away from History to study something they can use to get a job is the right choice?
Maybe the fact that people have seemed to have forgotten what happened the last time nationalism, populism, and authoritarianism surged in popularity about 80 years ago....
The popularity of the history major is an illustrative example. From 1998 to 2007, the share of college students graduating with a degree in history averaged around 2%. By 2017, it had fallen closer to 1%
Woohoo! I'm a 1%er!
Honestly though, I studied history because I enjoyed it and it was incredibly easy for me. I always planned to go to grad school afterwards to get myself a more marketable degree.
Or maybe it didn't fit with the types of hacks allowed. Guessing someone's password does not expose a vulnerability in the device.
According to the article, you have to hack a certain version that cost $10 more (because they have $10 worth of cryptocoins on them). McAfee is, however, refusing to send out this version and then claiming no one is meeting the terms of the bounty because they are hacking the regular version and not the bounty version. Even though apparently the regular version is getting hacked up worse than a group of drunk teenagers in a cheesy 80's horror movie.
Comrade Putin has already announced his plan to repair the station. At this very moment he is taking time away from his hiking vacation to find suitably-sized rocks - once he has a good one, he will throw it up to the station with such strength and accuracy that the rock will seal the leak!
If Putin were to fix the leak, he would do it right. He'd be out there doing an EVA shirtless patching it himself.
There were more than 2 choices....For those "protest" voting, a real protest would have been a vote for a 3rd party candidate in protest of how screwed up the 2 party system is.
I'm a professional pilot. If we want autonomous flight, we really need to be looking at the way we manage airspace and control air traffic. In principle it's been done much the same way since the 1960s. ATC uses radar or their eyeballs in the tower to see aircraft, then they give aircraft voice instructions on radio. How do you talk to a drone? The drone people say that's easy, you just tell the drone operator what to do. But then you're back to having a human "pilot" in the loop and you have to pay this human drone operator a meaningful salary. To completely remove the human, you would have to revise the way we control air traffic, especially around our major airports. How much time and money are these startups investing in solving the ATC problem? It's the same problem autonomous vehicles have driving on old fashioned roads, only far more complex because the computer cannot simply stop and put on the warning lights.
Once(if) autonomous flying aircraft reach a critical mass, would you really need ATC? If all the drones can network and communicate between themselves ATC isn't really necessary. Each drone would automatically know where all the others are, their flight paths/flight level, etc. Seems like an unnecessary middleman at that point.
Billie Holiday, not Billy. At least GTA taught Millenials about Alice in Chains. Yeah, at one point popular music was actually good here in the US. Hard to believe.
I miss the days back in high school in the early 2000s when groups like Alice in Chains were played on the local hard rock/90s alt station. Really, I miss the days when my major metropolitan area actually had a hard rock/90s alt station...the best song played on the radio right now is the Bad Wolves cover of Zombie.
a representative military, drawn from all corners of society (as much as possible, anyway) is less likely to stand for unjustified/interminable wars (or at least there should be a higher threshold when its everyone's kids going)
You think, even if this were to happen, that everyone's kid would go to war? Nope. The poor kids get assigned infantry or other front line roles while the rich kids (who are most likely better educated) get assigned staff positions, stateside postings, or other rear echelon roles such as logistics or intelligence, keeping them as safe as possible.
I was on a cruise back in March, and one of the in-stateroom TV channels showed random TV shows and their actual runtime, minus commercials. Most 30 minute shows had about 22 minutes of runtime. Big Bang Theory was at about 17 minutes. Literally half of the show's scheduled runtime is taken up by commercials.
From what I understand, men tend to use active or destructive methods of suicide such as shooting themselves while women tend to use more passive methods such as overdosing on pills or less externally damaging such as hanging or wrist cutting
No one is going to hand a coding bootcamp graduate a six figure salary when there's other folks in line for the same job â"people who've done their time in the trenches for a decade or moreâ" that are willing to bring considerable, deep, and hard-won expertise to bear on an employer's challenges.
Don't mistake meâ" I commend folks for doing a bootcamp. But much like in the military, no one goes directly from bootcamp to three star general.
No, I agree. I just feel like this list is leaving out important information. People think "big money" when they hear Apple, Google, Amazon, etc, and so a lot of people might see this and think they can get an $80-100k job after 3-4 weeks in a coding bootcamp but that's not going to happen. So that's why I asked "what kind of jobs are they really getting?"
Don't sell yourself (or anyone else) on a narrative where you can't do anything significant without a degree.
With a solid professional background, proven technical skills, and a couple of hardcore. certifications, a college dropout applied for a high end IT job at Apple some years ago.
Interviewed, received offer with healthy six figure salary, paid relocation, and various other (pretty impressive) perks. Specifics of offer were under NDA and might still be afaik.
Do your time in grunt roles building stuff and supporting it at all hours. Earn some no-bullshit certifications along the way. It can take a dozen or more years of real effort to get near the top of the heap, but so does anything worthwhile in this world.
Well that's just the thing, you are building up years of experience and certifications. How much experience is someone fresh out of a coding bootcamp going to have?
I can get a job as a stocker at Costco without a college degree?! Thanks for the info....but I've been working as a developer in High-Tech for the past 30 years...without a degree...
To be fair, a lot of the people who have had long careers got into tech early enough where a degree wasn't really necessary, and have now gained enough professional experience to make up for that lack of degree. But someone with no degree and no long work experience will have a much tougher time.
How many non-college degree holders at those companies are getting the huge six-figure salaries vs $10-15 an hour support roles? And for those lucky enough to get more productive roles, is their pay comparable with their coworkers who have 4 year degrees, or are these companies using this as cost-cutting and just bringing in cheaper people to do the same roles?
As one with a dedicated game machine that was never going to update to Windows 10, this is a very positive outcome.
A game box with Linux will be far more useful, and likely to be on more than a couple of times a week.
Good news for me. I've replaced a couple components in my pc recently, and since I bought an OEM copy of Windows 7 years back when I first built it, it now shows as "not genuine". My HDD was also failing so I bought a new one on the cheap. I was planning to upgrade my PC later this year with a new processor but was worried I would have to upgrade to windows 10, because basically all I use it for is gaming. If Steam can now run most of it's games on Linux, I'll just bite the $40 bullet, keep the good HDD I just bought with all my data and Win7 as a backup, and get another 1TB HDD to install Linux on when I upgrade everything else. And since I've been running on a 7 year old mid tier(when I bought it) i5 and a 950sc, I probably won't even notice performance loss since I'm already used to not playing anything on max.
There's a recent case in Spain where some rapists got out of jail after a few months because their lawyers are appealing the verdict and it would just be too cruel to keep convicted rapists in jail while the appeal drags on.
Were they granted bail going into the trial? If so, it seems reasonable to me that if the defendant was eligible for pre-trial bail then that bail should be extended for an appeal. Reduces the chance that someone innocent spends time behind bars. Of course on the other hand they also miss out on time served if they are guilty.
Wait, so you are telling me that all of those simulated images in commercials are, well, simulated?
Most commercials will state in a disclaimer that images are simulated, but my reading ability for Arabic isn't what it once was (and even then it wasn't very good), so I am not sure if they had a disclaimer in that video or not.
replace the $10.50 bud light with an $3.50 bud light and
the $7.50 hotdog with an $3.00 one.
Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta has $2 hot dogs and free refills on (non-alcoholic) drinks. Of course it costs an arm and a leg to get into the stadium, but that's another story.

...is what's keeping the researcher from obtaining it?
No, they won't send them out to anybody even when people order/request them.

All I'm saying is, Tierney needs to make sure that McAfee doesn't move in next door. We all know how that turns out.
that ads lead to sales. Now they are saying that they do not know this to be true?
Remember, a marketing company's first priority isn't to sell your product, it's to sell theirs.
Let's be realistic, he can't do an EVA shirtless. He'd use a spacesuit with a transparent upper section.
It's Putin. If anyone can pull off a shirtless EVA, he would. Putin is the Chuck Norris of shirtlessness.

Hah. Forget tulips. I heard that someone had a bridge in Genoa.
Better hurry. There was a big price drop and the bridge is half off. It won't last long.

Part of baseball is the human factor - its the same reason they don't allow instant replay like in football - no second guessing umpires.
They do allow limited replays, but the types of plays that can be reviewed is very specific, much more so than in football.
