In the past, it would not have been a bad idea, but Foxconn is a leading user of manufacturing automation, and they are automating people out of existence as rapidly as they can write very small shell scripts. I don't believe they'd actually employ that many people to begin with, but even if they did, they'd just automate most of those jobs away ASAP.
Many of the people here are conservative with a SMALL c). There are a few Conservatives, and many times, the conservative people here find that the Conservative agenda fits their narrative, but conservatives here are not Conservatives.

Very few of the folks here are group oriented; therefore, there are very few followers here.
You must be new here.
Slashdot is still alive because of this group of non-groupers.
Just don't imagine that they're anything but a subset, like anywhere else. Maybe it's a bigger percentage here, but there's plenty of mindless repetition of conservacuck talking points here on Slashbot.
The amount of cluelessness on display there is astonishing.
She's a corporate whore, so she had no other choice. Even if one doesn't believe she always was, she absolutely has been since her husband's presidency. She championed single payer health care at that time, and then they shut her down hard and never really let her talk again until she said publicly that single payer would never happen in America — right after taking a big fat wad of big pharma campaign contributions.
Coal mining is never coming back — speaking of cluelessness, those 40 something blue collar guys are even more clueless than she is. And the only real long-term remedy for this problem is an increased safety net — which they would never, ever vote for. Cluelessness all around.
That's comparing apples to motorcycles. Also X10 fucking sucks ass.
If X10 had an ass-sucking peripheral, not only would it not turn on when you wanted to, but it would also turn itself on in the middle of the night and suck every ass in town.
If you're relying on the recovery process, then people will just attack that... Typical recovery questions are weak, and based on information that can often be discovered.
Yeah, that's a real problem. I had to use more password-type strings for my bank's secret questions as a result, since all their questions were things that someone could reasonably guess. So lame, so lame. So I wrote them down and keep them in the safe...
Are you new to this show? MS has had this problem since DOS.
Most OSes do. Classic MacOS always had stupid error messages. The only one I've used which really had good ones was AIX. Every error has a unique code, and you can actually look them up...
Just remember, AZ gets a single high temp and ITS GLOBAL WARMING proof!!!!!1!1!1! 1/3 of country gets record lows, its weather not climate.
Now look at the rest of the world, which is currently warmer than usual. I know it's SOP for your kind to pretend there is no rest of the world, but it's still out there, and things are still happening there.
We are sick of your fucking willful ignorance.
Run along Ivan, we've had enough of your trolling propaganda today.
Fake news is a problem. But the bigger problem is a whole lot of Americans are too effing stupid to figure it out for themselves that it's fake.
Yeah, but Fb couldn't do anything about that if it wanted to. And it doesn't; smart people wouldn't give them all their info, tag people in photos, etc.
Logically, all of those things should be extensions. As should the Javascript engine, CSS rendering and all forms of video playback.
No, you need Javascript a) to run many extensions to begin with and b) just to browse the web any more. CSS, ditto. Video playback I could see going either way, but making that an add-on wouldn't be a horrible PITA on the same level as js.
But you'd still run into the situation of figuring out just what the non-exetension version of Firefox would include.
Browsing, bookmarks, preferences, and the most basic of pop-up blockers would be included — and all of those but browsing should be an extension. Everything else including Pocket, Web Developer tools, etc. would also be extensions, but which were not enabled by default.
When you are the market leader, sometime the boring decisions are the better one.
Like I said, he has to be smart enough to listen to the CFO. He also has to be smart enough to know when to take a risk. And finally, he has to actually care about the company's future. Most CEOs seem to have none of these qualifications:p
No, you aren't. You're making it up in your own head.
Forget the web.
That's exactly what they have done.
And you can totally trust me that I'm right about what Mozilla does, because I'm so well-informed that I haven't read their blog posts over the past few years and didn't even know that Pocket is owned by them!
Yeah, read their blog. That's going to be a good use of my time. I can see exactly how they're ignoring the users.
Nobody asked for pocket. We had extensions that were superior, in that they didn't require giving some third party information on what we were viewing. Then they changed the plugin interface, and broke them.
You might reasonably argue that anything that can be an extension should be an extension. Unfortunately that makes Firefox out of the box kind of annoying and useless.
I see that response to that argument all the time, but it's silly. Just bundle all the extensions needed to make it a typical browser with the install. This has obvious benefits. I can just not install them, or at least disable them once the install is complete. Also, they can be updated by the user independently of the browser, so it's an opportunity to deliver updates for those components without the user having to redownload everything.
It's publically available if you would have taken two seconds to look. Mozilla bought and owns Pocket.
I did look, but they didn't exactly trumpet the fact that they spent $30M of donations on something nobody asked for, while simultaneously ignoring those things people did ask for, like a clean browser without unnecessary features built in when they belong in extensions. Since I didn't know they actually bought them, I didn't know where to look. Now that I do, I can see the articles which were published about it at the time.
The finance guys as CEO is often a better choice, because decisions will be based on numbers and less from Ego, or personal interest of the product at hand.
No. The finance guy as CEO will make boring decisions that will result in stagnation. You need an idea guy who is smart enough to listen to his CFO.
Why would YOU treat your Discus account or that place you ordered a USB cable from the same as the same security level as your bank account?
A government doesn't protect every document because 1) it's infeasible, 2) there is public interest in not doing so, and 3) if they lose a document, there may be consequences, but they are not all focused on one individual.
A person should protect every account because 1) it's feasible, 2) there is no legitimate public interest in not doing so, and 3) you suffer all the consequences of a breach personally.
If you don't want to remember all those miscellaneous passwords, just don't, and recover them every time like the GP says. If you're using them infrequently, that doesn't really make life much harder.
Hopefully vaping is safer than smoking tobacco, but the margin of safety is likely to be far less than proponents of vaping would lead us to believe.
I can agree with both of those statements, but the question was whether vaping was safer than smoking tobacco. So far, it looks like yes, and a lot of people have been looking into it pretty intently.
". Work for the federal government was previously seen as lower paying and more bureaucratic than equivalent work in the private sector, but a far more predictable and a more steady income. Now it's not even that. "
Yes, it still is. Nobody with a good job should have no savings to fall back on. And my local credit Union was giving personal loans on very good terms to federal employees, specifically because that IS reliable work, and everyone expected those workers to get their back pay. If they're still doing business with career criminals like Well fuckyo or blood of apartheid, they don't deserve such a loan. Banking with those shitheels is both asking to be abused, AND enabling abuse for others. (I was a WAMU customer, when they got bought out by Chase under bullshit premises, I switched to a credit Union.)
". Using federal worker pay as a bargaining chip in a ploy to pander to a political base was the most monumentally stupid thing I have ever seen a politician do. And that is not a high bar, by any means."
It makes sense in the context of Trump's other bad decisions. He has no choice but to get the wall built (never going to happen) or lose his base. Trump is used to shopping for manipulable dumbshits. But now he has to deal with the opponents before him, and they know what bullshit smells like. He painted himself into a corner with that wall bullshit, he wasn't smart enough to get out of it immediately while he still could, and now it's too late.
"The Newton was crap until they got XScale CPUs. They started with 25MHz or so, and the XScale was like 250MHz."
The earlier ARM processors used in Newtons had similar IPC to 68k, so they didn't have far to go to be more powerful than what they had already. But xscale would have been an acceptable basis. Its power consumption was never competitive with other ARM implementations, but that doesn't matter on the desktop - it was still lower than just about everything else.

Except that a decrease in Apple current sales doesn't affect Foxconn in the present.
Your argument hinges on the idea that Foxconn can't do financial forecasting. That means it's a bad argument.
As charity programs go, it's not a bad idea.
In the past, it would not have been a bad idea, but Foxconn is a leading user of manufacturing automation, and they are automating people out of existence as rapidly as they can write very small shell scripts.

The thing is, Trump himself played the same trick on Scotland when he built his golf course.
Is that the same golf course where Trump wants to build a wall to keep out the global warming he says he doesn't believe in?

This is factually accurate, supported by numerous studies and basic crime statistics where there is a body plus a person found guilty for the death.

They made -so- much money off of chips that they struggled to burn it up.
They should have spent more on process technology, obviously.
