Historically, corporations have been found guilty of paying goons to join strikes and cause damage to the corporation, thus harming the union movement and themselves appearing to be innocent victims.
Sure, 100 years ago. So that makes it OK for unions to become the thugs now? I suppose the "european americans" need to pay reparations to "african americans" to make up for slavery, too?
If the research is useful and worthwhile, it should be defended on its own merits, not on the principle of, "our government spends way more than that anyway, so comparatively, it's like, free."
Yes indeed - I was addressing the usefulness of snidely commenting that the money is best spent towards debt payments, not the worth of any particular program this size. When the federal Department of Labor alone is pissing away $300,000,000,000 on nobody knows what (checked unemployment lately?) the Department of Agriculture is wasting 15,000,000,000 paying farmers not to grow crops and the Department of Education 100,000,000,000 on teaching to standardized tests, it's strikes me as silly to go on about $500,000 or even a hundred little projects at 500K each.
DARPA To Flush More Taxpayer Money Down the Toilet
FTFY.
I have a crazy idea. Instead of flushing this money down the toilet, why don't we use it to pay the government's debt instead?
The time it would take for the water to swirl down is longer than it takes the federal government to rip through a lousy 500K. Here's a tip: the federal government's spending habits need drastic fixes, not penny ante items like this. No, it isn't a good start because it's so incredibly miniscule. 500K isn't even a rounding error. You trivialize government debt problems by commenting this amount of spare change should go towards fixing that problem.
No; I don't have any patience for hard core Marxists saying nonsense like profit only comes from bullshit. Profit is just rent on capital. Have a good time sustenance farming on the commune.
How do they determine real connections vs just having browsed some random strangers' cute/funny/whatever profile and saving it just for that? I'm pretty sure the original theorist would scoff at the notion that's a real social connection. LinkedIn would be much better but even then you'd have to filter out all the recruiters.
For the first time in as long as long as anyone at ExtremeTech can remember, Intel’s next consumer CPUs — the Sandy Bridge-E range — will ship without a heatsink and fan.
^$@& kids.... 386s shipped (and ran) bare. Most 486s shipped with either nothing or a really small heatsinks and fans were optional for all. It was big news when Pentiums shipped with heatsinks AND fans because OMG the things are so hot and powerful!
So it's better for him to ignore his value just to work at someone else's defined salary?
Ah, yes, this is the #1 most common misunderstanding in economics. There is no inherent value in normal products and services. Price is determined by whoever controls the shortage. In the case of a slow demand the price is set by the purchasers while in times of high demand the price is set by the sellers. In case you haven't noticed, in recent year and a half there has been a shortage of demand for labor. In the case of the GP, the seller of services (worker) is unwilling to meet the price offered by the purchasers (employers) in this time when the price is set by the purchasers
With 30 years of experience he must have been around in the mad demand years of the 90's. I wonder how much then he griped it was unfair to employers that he was able to demand a high salary and they had to bid against each other to get his services?
2. I'm expensive. I have 30 years of experience in the 'biz and a masters degree in CS. I'm not cheap. You could hire two 25 year olds for what I'm asking.
So it's better for your personal situation to stay unemployed than to lower your salary requirements?
The suggestion to "Follow Your Bliss" only works in an economy that's not run by sociopaths
But it works remarkably well in an economy run by hedonists!
The whole thing is over 15,000 words, so reading at 250 words per minute, it would take an average person over an hour just to read it entirely. There were 15 other propositions on the ballot at the time, and not all of them were as long as Proposition 69, but I really doubt the average voter spent even a few hours reading these.
So they had to pass it to find out what was in it?
DNA evidence might be 99.99% accurate, but that statement falls to pieces when you have 5 million entries in your database and have no way of weighting one match compared to another.
How is DNA info stored in a database, anyway? And why can't you see if there are duplicates with select count(1), dna from californiaresidents group by dna having count(1) > 1 ?
The legislature has nothing to do with it - this is over a ballot initiative. Basically the citizens of California ordered their police to do this to them upon arrest.
No but you usually have to at least be under suspicion to get arrested. Keep in mind this was a ballot initiative - the people of California voted this on themselves. Meanwhile the people in Texas tried to curb TSA's subjecting everyone for suspicion of trying to take a plane ride and they were slapped down by the feds.

No, sorry, Bronzeman is the Ironman prequel.

Does the original file have the "undo" history so we can see what's there before it was blacked out?

4. ???
Sorry, here's one case where step 4 is not question marks. All you need is a good to trade at the destination and this handy future value formula.
Isn't that an extreme case.

Can anyone express what this does in technical terms?
Well, from this part:
If the object exists in Fluidinfo, the information is appended to the object. If the object does not exist then it will be created and stored.
It sounds like they've invented the MERGE command.
