and that you treat humans differently to a device. I have two small kids, I do not expect them to treat inanimate objects the same way as humans no matter how "intelligent" the inanimate object may appear.
I think it would be a far worse idea to educate your child that a system, which should otherwise produce the same results on the same input, will randomly throw in unexpected results for no reason. We need to educate people to think that computers and other advanced systems only do what someone asked it to do, if the output isn't what you expected it doesn't mean the device is doing it to you, it means somewhere along the line the input or calculation method was wrong. The last thing we want is to teach kids these things are as irrational as people.
Never looked at iPhone repairs as never owned one. But all the android ones I've looked to repair seem to come with an integrated glass, digitiser, LCD. The glass is glued to the digitizer and LCD and getting them apart is almost impossible.
If you look at all the ifixit guides it's always replace that entire component. My phone is an LG G4, the replacement screen digitizer LCD is US$109 on Ebay. Iphone ones do appear to be cheaper thats for sure.
There is already a huge business in replacing screens and other things like that. Hell there is a phone repair kiosk in every shopping mall I visit.
The killer for that business is that good phones aren't that expensive and screens make up a significant % of their cost. No you may not pay $600 to replace your battery, but you will pay $400 to replace a cracked screen on a 2 year old device knowing you will get a new phone, new battery, when the screen replacement cost is $200
I'm not familiar with the exact rules around h1-b visas but Australia has a visa called the 457 which allows an employer to bring someone into the country in order to perform a role that they were unable to source someone for locally. The process is not an easy one to go through and the documentation that you have to provide to the department of immigration is significant. This was a visa that I utilised to bring people into the country to work for me, so I know how hard those visas are to get.
The process starts with the company being vetted by Immi (http://www.border.gov.au/) which takes about 6 months, the end of which you are given a maximum allocation of 457s you are allowed to have. I was given 3. Once that is completed you go through the process of submitting the person that you want to employ along with supporting evidence of the searching you have done for a local person, the training and development you have given your staff to show you are trying to develop those skills, and a huge amount of information showing that the person you want to bring in will be paid the same as what Australians working in that role are being paid. In my case I had others working in the same role so I was able to put them forward as direct comparisons along with a cross sample of adverts by others companies looking for the same people with their salaries.
The assessment process for the applications would take about 4 weeks. Once someone started I had responsibility to cover any medical costs that they would incur and should they decide to return to the country of origin or I let them go I was responsible for full relocating them home. In addition because they already had a 457 visa they could transfer that, relatively easily, to another employer that was pre qualified. So during my time employing people on 457s I did lose one after 2 years to a different company.
Now for how to control for abuse. In Australia you are audited by IMMI at random intervals where you have to prove that you are maintaining the requirements of the visa. This includes that the person remains being paid at parity to a domestic worker, that you aren't using the "I will send you home unless you work harder" as a stick and a couple of other conditions. If you are found in breach of ANY of those you lose your qualified status and as a result lose ALL your 457s in one go and can't hire any others for 10 years. Leaving out the cost of relocating multiple people in one go you are going to lose multiple critical staff in one go and you will find it very hard to replace them.
If you follow these rules there is no incentive to use outside 457 labour, in fact you're better off not. So the only reason you will is if you genuinely can't find the person you need. Currently in Australia there are around 85,000 people working on 457 visas (I'm only counting the principals not their dependants who also have a right to work) out of a workforce of 12 million.
I never said otherwise. If they had wanted a car tunnel they would have built it as a car tunnel. But it would have been more expensive and much more challenging.
An increase in fire risk does not mean that there was no risk in the first place. The risk of a fire in a train tunnel is significantly lower than the fire risk in a car tunnel. Both will have fire suppression systems, but the design requirements will be different.
I did know that. I meant each tunnel is only good for one lane. The Clem 7 example I used is a twin tunnel system, each tunnel is 12.5m in diameter though not even comparable in length.
2 Kids with tablets probably eat 50GB in youtube videos....
I have metered uploads though. So backups chew through a fair bit. My wife takes a stupid number of videos and photos and those are always uploading. Torrents play a small part but not huge. I have a number of streaming video services I use as well.
You attach high CFM turbine fans along the top of the tunnel spaced at intervals all pointing the same way. These have the effect of creating a breeze through the tunnel.
In comparison ventilating a tunnel like this is actually a LOT easier then ventilating an underground mine as all you need to do it move air from one end to the other.
I think you have buckleys of having the next government built FTTP no matter who wins. Labor have already said they are not going to.
Outside of that I burn through more that 25gb a month in backups. I have no idea what youtube sends me but it's a lot. And even though I never get to play them I seem to like installing steam games so that chews through heaps as well.
NBN isn't schedule to me for at least the next 3 years, but I'm lucky and really close to my RIM so I have a cable length us 47m. I actually max out my adsl 2:)
That is an interesting argument you're putting forward here. You are saying that a hardware manufacturer should be supporting their hardware past their end of life for a piece of software that didn't exist when they built the hardware and for which it was never designed for. On top of this the hardware continues to work fine with the software for which it was originally written.
And we aren't talking about an iterative update here. I could understand an argument around Win7 to Win7 SP1. But Windows 10 is a totally different system.
Putting cars in there makes the whole project way more challenging. Trains you can supply with electricity to move and their own internal illumination is sufficient. If you put a large number of cars or trucks through there you have to have significantly stronger ventilation systems and you need to illuminate the tunnel to a much greater degree.
On top of that you need to factor in a much higher risk of crashes and hence fire risk, which means more escape tunnels, fire bunkers, and other systems that would otherwise not be required.
Add on to that that these tunnels are only 9m in diameter which is not wide enough for anything other than a single lane road. As a comparison the Clem7 tunnel in Brisbane is 12.5m in diameter to accommodate 2 lanes.
Here in Australia SMS is free on anything other than a cheap plan. Sure Whatsapp and others have market penetration but you wouldn't want to rely on it.
To be perfectly fair though this isn't really that different to any national government, except maybe in the outcome to the individual. The US wants access to the data to track money moving for criminal and security reasons. Turkey & Iran would want it for the same.
The real differences is what happens to someone when they are identified as a problem person. In the US they might end up in the legal system incarcerated for life. Somewhere else they might disappear.
And SMS is still king because every single person with a phone has access to SMS. If I want to send a message to someones phone SMS is the only system where I know they will get it.
This is made more so if you are in a country where most mobile plans have unlimited SMS included.
Couple of points. The abolishment of the carbon tax was the primary election promise of the Liberal National Coalition, so you would expect that to happen. Our carbon emissions have actually decreased during this current government - See page 3 for a simple graph https://www.environment.gov.au... You might disagree with the Adani coal project and the Gladstone upgrade but many many people do not. The fuss around the dredging was stupid. You are not going to stop ships going in and out of the harbour, so making it safer and reducing the risk of accidents will reduce the pollution risk. The spoil that would have been put back into a non reef area, some 50nm away from the reef was safe. That soil will now be stored on land and poses no environmental risks. The legislation re the environmentalists was passed to require you to show some kind of standing with regards to the permits. Without the legislation it was possible for anyone to bring a challenge over and over and over. Environmentalists are still able to challenge approvals but not repeatedly.
I have to admit I was pulling a motorcycle engine apart in my head, and a 2 stroke air cooled one at that. So 2 rings is standard, also they don't use roller bearings, the gudgen pin is a press fit machined surface. I also wasn't counting circlips and the like.
Also I have an old Saab 92 which is a 3 cylinder 2 stroke.
In the end I'm not trying to say that a modern ICE car hasn't got thousands of parts. All I was saying is that you can absolutely build an engine with a smaller number of moving parts than 1000s. In fact I still suspect that if you counted the actual moving parts in a modern engine the count would be in the 100s approaching a 1000, not 3 or 4 thousand as the OP implied.
I actually own a 2 stroke car, a saab 92 which is a 3 cylinder 2 stroke. I actually works very well. That said I can acknowledge the problems with 2 strokes, however it has more to do with pollution and efficiency then it does their suitability to moving a large mass.
My point was that you can build an ICE and power train without having 1000s of moving parts. And I stand by that. Even if you went down the path of a relatively modern 4 stroke I would expect that you are counting the moving parts of the drive train in the 100s not the 1000s.
Yes I used an old design concept, yes it wouldn't pass EPA now. No you probably can't buy one. It doesn't mean that you can't build an ICE with a smaller number of MOVING parts than 1000s in the drive train.
However to be fair my crap mobile was a motorcycle so I'm not comparing apples with apples eaither.

I just went to ebay....
Might have to have another look, given I have cracked my screen....

How do you keep your data usage so low? I hit 300gb every month.
Obviously I meant mobile. But what cell phones have you got that don't get SMS? Even my old analogue mobile got sms.
Not in the US. But are you saying a verizon mobile won't receive an SMS?
