I've recent purchased a couple of Android TV box for usage as digital signage. They had the the same specs with the same price. But they came with a case and power supply. Why doesn't some Chinese manufacture make a vanilla Android box that is hacker friendly? Let us easily the OS as we see fit.
I can see both sides: The commercial product doesn't want the bad press attached to product. The OSS developers say that they're giving free support son what someone does in their bedroom shouldn't matter. Personally I side with the developers. But I respect the commercial services discussion.
Having said that: if the developers are that passionate they should branch the code. Start their own project. Maybe make it their own commercial product.
So, they hooked a solar cell to a thermoelectric cooling cell. Its the same tech as those USB refrigerators. You can build a basic a basic unit for $30-40.
Who is punishing these women? My original point was that the women doing things that may cause physical harm to themselves, taking time away from their career, and adding a long term distraction to their lives.
The idea of punishment has to abolished. Women are choosing to have a child. Everone has to acknowledge the sacrifice will be required the rest of a parent's life. Businesses have to plan around the lack of productivity of an individual woman based on her's performance.
Some women have no issue with kids and a career. Some woman have trouble holding down an advancing career because of issues, (family physical and mental issues, death of a spouse or the extended family. poor support structure, and time to enrich the child's life to be a good and productive person.)
Children get sick and need shots both require time off from a parent
Women now have new medical conditions that need attention
Kids have schools need like field trips, supplies, presentations, dances, picked up and dropping off
Kids generally need things like food and attention
A child have a lot more needs and generally have a longer life span then the average pet.
I realize that. But look at this from a business's view: Jane is assigned to a 16 month project. She announces that she is pregnant. She will have several doctor's appointments. By the Medical Leave Act I can assume she will gone from 2-6 weeks minimal assuming no complication.
I now have to train someone to take up the slack while Jane is out, When Jane comes back she will not be working at 100% because of the toll on her body and new medical issues she has. Jane is going to have to come up to speed with the changes on her project. Both her and the child will need further medical time off through out the rest of their lives. If she has another child all of this time lose is compounded.
If you removes emotion and look at the issue from a reasonable and logical point of view you will see why the average a woman will get paid will never be the same as a man. An individual can easily exceed the average. But babies complicate things and distract from your career.
Life is a sacrifice. And I appreciate and celebrate women for that sacrifice.
Women who do not have children get paid the same or more. But when you have to take several weeks or months off to take care of a child you slow your career. So don't have kids if you want a big pay check. If you want to have the biological and emotional fulfillment of giving birth and raising a child then realize you have to sacrifice your overall income.
When I see an article like this these are the things that come to mind as the real reasons for stagnation:
Cooperate Taxes - Why stay here when you can go overseas for cheaper labor
Insurance / Obamacare - If you get beyond a certain size you either have to cut everyone hours so you don't have pay their insurance. Or you pay a penalty in the form of taxes on insurance to help pay the Affordable Care Act.
H1B1 VISA Contractor - Why use expensive local labor when you can bring in an external entity to do it cheaper
Work Ethics - Its just hard to find young people who will work like their older counter parts
Automation - We've seen article here about robotics and AI. The menial tasks are slowly getting replaced reducing the labor pool
Lack of Education - Colleges need to show that their graduating about 80% of their students to get state and federal funds. So they're dumbing down the courses.
Most the of Win10 tables are using the same or similar processors. So compiling a mobile phone version for teh same code base is relatively easy. The only real difference is the drivers and couple of apps to dial a phone and take text messages. Its all part of Microsoft's Universal Windows Platform So Microsoft pays $1-2 million dollars in developers and testers to keep a product running and keep the door open for the next big thing.
I look forward to a full version of Win10 on a RaspberryPi like platform. Go to the store and get a TV box about the size of a Roku for $100. You have basic computer that can plugin anywhere. That would be the PC killer more then a tablets and Chromebooks. Full Windows on a small cheap machine.
I would switch to a Windows phone but cost has been the biggest factor for me. I can buy a cheap $20-40 Android phone for what I need. Why put out $200-500 for features I don't need or use? I just need to make some calls, get text, and occasionally use the GPS directiond.
I know that the hotel industry feels threatened. They whip the local community into an uproar that AirBnB is going to lower their property values. Which is not the case. Instead these innovative companies bring money in by having people spend money in towns that they would not normally visit. Places that are on the outskirts of say a Disney or Dollywood would just be drive through cities. Now they become micro-attractions because more people are staying in there.
My wife and I stayed in an AirBnB over the summer. We loved it. It was quiet neighborhood with no annoying ice machine get used repeatedly at 2am in the morning. The person who shared his home with us provided us a small DVD collection and library for entertainment. We could have went to the big attractions but decided to stay in town. There was a mall and bowling alley, and a few small parks for us to walk around.
But my comments isn't just limited to AirBnB. Its things like Lyft and Uber, even the Netflix and Hulu of the television world. Cab and broadcast TV companies don't want to evolve because it means changing their comfortable corporate structure. They've become so rigid and undisciplined that they can't change. Or rather they're disciplined, but only their own bureaucracy so they canâ(TM)t react to changing market. I applaud the idea of putting limits local regulations in the instance of limiting new innovations.
Since much of this already exists in Chromium, does that mean that Google is pushing for JavaScript / Progressive Web Apps? You could have lighter installs of application or just links to web apps run. It almost sounds like they're going the Firefox OS route.
* Redundant technology with smaller similar companies merging into larger companies - Social Networks, photo, video. and texting applications and websites
It just sounds like it lets you make a 'Web App Manifest'. So you package a directory on an SSL enabled web server as an application. Everything else seems like web good design.
By definition with this being a 'Progressive' web app you have to have workarounds incase the targeted platform doesn't support X feature. So.. are things like Service Workers, that might not work, really a big deal?
Third-party fact checkers scares the hell out of me. Snopes, FactCheck.org, Politifact, ABC News, and AP can be argued not to be impartial and to have a political agenda. If that can be proven out then only one voice will truly be heard on Facebook.
Snopes ran by Kim Lacapria who self describes herself as 'openly left-leaning and a liberal.'
FactCheck.org and Politifact - Trump quoted an article about the number of deaths via the poorly ran Vetrans Adminstration. Trump was reported as giving false facts. When the original CNN article came out the article was reported as completely true.
I can point out similar instances with the other sources. I'm not totally against using these sources but I want a balance from the other sources on the other side of the political aisle.
Most of the posters here look at this article from a first world perspective. Think about other countries where CRT TV's are commonly still in use. Why get a BluRay player?
Back in the first world: Which would you have your darling little child destroy: a $30 DVD player with a $10 DVD or a $90+ BluRay player and ROKU device with a $35 disc? Plus with upscaling technologies DVD's don't look bad on modern TV's, Assuming you're looking for entertainment and not hi res.
Sony has been going the 'internationalization' route which means make the movies are inoffensive to no one and uninteresting to everyone. Can you say Alvin and The Smurfs? Finally Sony has been putting out a lot of just stinkers lately:
The 5th Wave (16% RT) Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (43% RT) The Brothers Grimsby (37% RT) Money Monster (57% RT) The Angry Birds (43% RT) Ghostbusters (73% RT but lost money in the box office) Inferno (19%)
After the Trump's Twitter-fest dies down in a few weeks Twitter will start losing numbers again. I think Twitter's new feature is too little too late. The features I would like to see is:
* RSS Feeds - Bring them back
* Longer messages
* Render multiple links in an article
* Give an option in my timeline for 'people I've liked recently' or the 'whole stream'
* Filters on my timeline by subject or word, including exclusions
* Let me tag people I'm subscribed to like 'news', 'tech' 'health', 'family', ect.
That was my first thought. My next thought was that Classic Windows would be bolted on the side the way ChromeOS is starting to run Android in a weird sand box. The final move is to create 'Windows Instant Apps' instead of 'Android Instant Apps' and teh circle will be complete,
RIght now the main things fueling BitCoin's value is India's deflation currency correction and worries about Trump's administration. Within the year I look for both issues to stabilize. BitCoin will drop down around $350 / coin.
Since most theaters only project at 2K and 4K barely has a foothold in the home market, why? It seems like a new standard this early is really a bad idea. Some better compression technology could come along that will make this standard obsolete before its goes into consumer production. The only reason I can think of is a non-existent 3D technology.
Later this year, Google will also launch a tool called My Business Websites, which will allow any small business to easily create and manage its own mobile-friendly website using nothing more than a smartphone in up to nine Indian languages.
It sounds like Google is just putting out an enhanced version of their Google Sites based on location. You pick a template and fill in a form with your information. Google then consumes it and automatically indexes your site.
Also instead of putting on these classes couldn't they just do YouTube videos and their version of the Dummies Guide to Google?

So take what you want from that.
$20-30 at local fab-lab plus my design time. So now we're talking $70 + power supply.
