Although back then it was called "Victorian working conditions" and it was shit and evil.
Arun Sundararajan is a hypocritical asshole - unless he's waking up every day wondering if he'll have any work to do at NYU Stern School of Business and is being paid the lowest possible wage the law will allow (because the free market will allow him to be charged to go to work - something that actually happened in Victorian days. You could be paid in company money which could only be spent in company shops).
I'm happy to stop changing the clocks, but I don't want to stick to summer time. I don't like the sky still being bright at night when I need to get to sleep for work in the morning.
...Why would anyone spend close to $1k on something that could stop working at any time?
Because like most other products, the non-cloud version (if available) would cost $15K, making the cloud version seem like a bargain.
That's why.
Would it? Why? Voice recognition? I don't think in this day and age we need a warehouse of computing to do that. And if we did, then what was the business plan for success? A warehouse for every robot sold?
If your product needs to be connected to the magic cloud to work, it's not a real product unless you have a way of transferring the magic to the buyer.
Hostility to Israel is commonly used by Nazis and other anti-Semites to disguise their ugly bigotry.
You may not be anti-Semitic. But you're OK with being on the same side as anti-Semites.
Yeah, right. Your logic is a pathetically obvious attempt to prevent any criticism of the politics of stealing peoples homes and land for no better reason that it says in a badly-written book that the magic sky man said it was okay.
Hey, Hitler massively and purposefully increased the ownership of guns in the non-Jewish population of Germany. I guess that means the NRA is on the same side as anti-Semites, right?
No platform.
Stick your platform up your ass you poor excuse for a human.
How terribly sad that the only material they have access to is the stuff Google ripped as part of their industrialised copyright infringement project.
If this goes on, he might have to actually get off his fat arse and do some work himself. Of course, it would help if he had enough brains to work out that "set in stone" probably does go back to a "absurdly" distant time when people set important text in stone - you know, like you can find in almost any ancient Greek ruin. Or that Hammurabi and Moses were more than "decades" ago, for that matter.
Amazon wanted those people on $15k to pay for their corporate HQ, which is part of their goal to put everyone who works in retail out of a job while having tax dollars shovelled into the company's pockets at an ever-increasing rate.
demanded that the benefits package be cut in half
What are you smoking? NYC (and everyone else) should be charging Amazon.
No, I think we'll stick with "fuck right off, Amazon, and die" thanks very much.
One of the benefits of cellphones is that in the event of a school shooting potentially anyone can phone out, capture images of, or otherwise help identify the shooter(s) for situation awareness during police response as well as initial call-ins of the event.
By taking away cellphones you are not only treating youth like children (the 6 year old kind), but also teaching them that responsibility will be handled for them, so they never become responsible for themselves.
As PP stated, this is yet more Big Brother nanny state bullshit that neither curbs the problem nor acts as a long term solution to the larger societal malady. Sticking band-aids over a problem only helps them heal in time with regular inspection, washing, and application of further treatment. Plastering band-aids atop band-aids is only concealing the wound until it festers beyond all treatment. America's school system, as well as larger society as a whole, is part of the latter, not the former example.
A very American solution to the gun sickness - make it easier to scream for help but do nothing about how easy it is for mentally unstable people to own guns.
But, yeah, the regularity of school shootings is definitely a reflection on the school system.
This is an example of what's wrong with the paternalistic attitude that's prevalent toward students.
School is literally there to be paternalistic - that's the idea. Otherwise kids would be in work with their actual parents.
Acting as if high school students have absolutely no self-control by seizing their phones because they're deemed to be too distracting is certainly not a good way to form them into responsible adults who can take care of themselves.
Well, firstly the problem is that high school students don't have much in the way of self-control. Maybe you never were one but I was and I remember how we were outside of class.
Secondly, teaching children that certain behaviours are unacceptable in particular contexts is forming them into responsible adults.
As far as I can see, your idea is that children in a class should be allowed to do whatever they like. If they were sitting reading a book on a different topic, or playing chess with the child beside them, no one would bat an eyelid at the teacher confiscating the book or chess set. Yet because it's your holy telephone/umbilical cord you get your knickers in a twist over nothing.
Netflix have what you or I would be told is not a business model if we went to the bank: sell everything you have at a loss. Same as Uber, the only way it works is if you drive everyone else out of business before you run out of cash. That's just not going to happen.
So, obviously, they need to find some way of making this pay and if advertising is their answer then instantly they become old media delivered over new pipes.
I'm sure none of the people who were in at the ground floor care about any of this; they'll be long gone by the time Netflix is bought at a knock-down price by Amazon who, you know, actually have a profitable business (AWS) to cross-subsidise the losses with.
1. This is a well-known and understood effect caused by the image being 2D. Works even better with feet that are pointing at the viewer. 2. No gallery guide or lecturer who has referred to it (and there's been quite a few) in my hearing has ever called it the "Mona Lisa effect". 3. Anyone who's looked at the Mona Lisa knows she's not looking outwards at them. 4. This "study" was a total waste of time and whatever money was spent on it.
You know what air contains? Oxygen! That stuff is a serious oxidant. Perhaps only more dangerous if mixed with hydrogen to create H2O - immersion in which will KILL you in minutes!
See? You can make a scare story from anything. Sure, there's no such thing as a safe tan. There's no such thing as a safe life either but I bet H. Peter Soyer ain't planning on suicide any time soon.
Citation? I assume you're not just making this up without one, right?
Google what was done in a scriptorium you uneducated, lazy, cynical fuck in an age where nearly all of human knowledge is at your disposal with fewer keystrokes than you have already used to let everyone know you are an uneducated, lazy, cynical fuck.
No you made the sweeping claim that all clergy everywhere is 100% corruptible And of course they were 100% uncorruptable and diligent, like all clergy everywhere are renowned as being.... which is demonstrably a boldfaced lie.
Yeah, you need to work on your own literacy level.
Firstly: I specifically challenged the claim about literacy being linked to the use of Lapiz for artwork - which is completely spurious. I have made no comment on the supposed belief that nuns did not make written texts as it's a field I don't know well, although I'm aware that nuns did do work so I'm not wildly surprised if they did some manuscript work, which was a good earner.
Secondly: I used irony to attack your rather contradictory claim there was no problem with ignorant priests yet there were measures set up to deal with them. My statement, which you seem incapable of understanding, is really just saying that the priesthood was never perfect. That's nothing like saying that they were 100% corruptible. The fact that you keep quote the text you don't understand back at me doesn't change its meaning.
TFA made no claims about having proven that medieval women were literate. It has been well documented that women were literate since very ancient times. The literacy issue is a straw man you created.
"Researcher Christina Warinner said this finding from the 11th century was unprecedented in showing more women were literate, educated and encouraged to read at that time."
Also, I have read period documents written by clergy involved in visitations during the Middle Ages and these people took their work really seriously. Your completely unsubstantiated claim they all were corrupt is unfair.
Just as well that I didn't claim that, then. I implied that coverage was patchy.
Ecclesiastical corruption did happen but it also regularly led to reform movements within the church and demands for reform among the civilian population. The biggest manifestation of this being the Protestant reformation.
Yet the reformation came out of frustration at the lack of reform over the previous 200 years. This is the same as the Latin point earlier - there was a revolt because there was a need for it. You're trying to have it both ways/

Ooooh, that's a real tricky one, isn't it? I guess it depends on how much the slavery, oppression, and murder makes your life easier.
