They don't even teach welding in highschools anymore, you need to go to a specialty college to learn even the basics. Seems to me though, your "stuff being taught at highschool" isn't. Rather it can grant partial college credits towards an applicable program...in college, we had that 20 years ago too. But a college doesn't have to honor the full amount that is gained, and the board of education can drop the accredited amount when you least expect it.
Fully impossible I say. The usual pro-H1B supporters on here say there's nothing wrong, and it's really good that all these people are being brought in to displace American works and push wages down. Just like how it's happening here in Canada with TFW's and employers are laying off employees because they don't want to pay the wage, then paying the 1/3 the wages that they were going for. And that ranges from welders and pipe fitters to skilled factory labor and IT.
You had to pull out salty as your flavor huh? Maybe you should just get up and walk away from the internet for awhile.
Here's a fucking NEWSFLASH for you - people are human beings with opinions, and senses of humor. Gawker media is made of many, many of these entities, who may or may not all agree with each other.
They didn't write some elaborate article pontificating on the merits of bullying, as a news organization. One person made an unfunny joke in a whiny tweet, and the #Gamergate crowd apparently had skin thickness measuring in the sub-microns. FFS. Grow up. Everyone involved in this sucks, all around, and are a bunch of fucking crybaby drama queens. I shudder to imagine the epic meltdown when someone fucks up your Taco Bell order.
Oh they didn't? You should go back and re-read some of their stuff. If you think bullying in any form even joking is such a light hearted topic to simply say people should be bullied because they're calling out your serious ethical misconduct, well you're just a shitty human being like many of the writers for Gawker. One can't forget either the parts where they simply lied. You know much like how all those people who claimed harassment, really didn't get any harassment from GG. 3rd party trolls yep. But GG? Then again, perhaps you can come up with the point why someone who is using their work account(on twitter) and is expressing that viewpoint shouldn't be held up to said standard that bullying is bad.
Yeah all those people at all those organizations had a reason. They were writing clickbait to draw in the views, it didn't work. And it even backfired. As one can see with all of those advertisers having decided to say "fuck it, we're not renewing/continuing to advertise with them." Who knew? Actions have consequences. Isn't that what you'd say if Gawker had said(to paraphrase) "the tape of a 5yr old(or older) being raped is acceptable to post and is in the interest of the public."
If you want to talk about hypocrisy - how about the attempts to crucify some NY dumbass over a tweet, while meanwhile, the #Gamergate crowd was saying and doing some pretty horrific shit, in a lot of the places that they had an online presence. Can you really fucking bring up "bullying" with a straight face, when women were literally receiving deaththreats for the injurious crime of having unpopular opinions, and wanting to voice those in a public place? If you're so against "bullying" in games journalism why wasn't that the focus of your goddamn campaign? I imagine you have some BS definition of "Gamergate" that does the No True Scotsman's shuffle to distance yourself from those folks, and some token "hey guys...chill out" forum post, but seriously - fuck that. You can't remove those parts of your "movement" for being too extreme, and then condemn something like Gawker media, as a whole, without, yourself, being pretty big fucking hypocrites. I'd put the onus of responsibility on YOU to explain why so many terrible fucking people flocked to your banner, and said and did some pretty terrible things in your name - on your forums, in your comment sections, and so on.
If you believe that, you deserve to be lied to. And you deserve the yellow press that gawker has been printing. Since it's been going on for nearly 2 years at this point and there has been 0 actual cases of anyone in GG proven to have done this. None, you go digging back through the sources of those claims? No proof. No proof offered. No police complaints, no one arrested, not a single person even charged that belongs to GG. But there are cases of anti-GG doxing people, there are cases of people calling in bomb threats against GG, in multiple cases at multiple meetups, and at the SPJ conference. There was a case just last couple of weeks of prominent anti-GG members attempting to dox someone. It doesn't get any clearer then that bit of reality.
The problem is we are not willing to pay for quality journalism any more. It's a problem that no-one has found a solution to yet. Paywalls just destroy your readership base and comments sections. Adverts distribute malware and get blocked.
That's not true at all. There's sites out there that are increasing their readership based on their quality reporting and have been outstripping other sites. While those other sites who are driving for clickbait, making up BS and so on are driving into the tank. Let's look at an example: Breitbart has increased their readership by nearly 25m/daily views in the last 2 years. Huffington post has gone from 60m daily views to just under 20m in two years. The Spectator and spiked-online have both increased, while the guardian have decreased. And other sites even from here in Canada like Toronto Star, Globe and Mail, National Post have all accelerated their loss of readership.
You know what's unique about all of those sites who've lost readership? They're all pushing an agenda, they're all pushing far-left agendas, and they've all at one point attacked or continue to attack their readership. Whether it be in opinion/editorial or in the articles they publish. That alone shows that if you're simply publishing news, it's fairly unbiased, and so on you get viewership. Even breitbart has expanded and moved from just right-leaning reporters, editorial writers around 18mo ago and that further accelerated their gains in readership. An interesting thing with NAPO is around 15 months ago, they decided to fire their editors, replace some editors, fire a bunch of reporters, replaced their comment system to "facebook commenting" and guess what happened? Their readership fell through the floor. And many of those other sites which continue to hemorrhage, also gutting comment sections. Next up is NPR, and I expect the same to happen.
They look safe for now, but I actually like Kotaku and Gizmodo. It's probably really shitty to work at these companies, which had nothing to do with leaking pr0n, but who's employees are still affected by it.
You're confusing laws against corporations and laws written by and for corporations. These pro-taxi laws are there for monopolistic reasons.
Yes as we all know, those taxi companies wanted all those regulations in the first place. The insurance, licenses, inspections, and so on all came into being because there had been people killed and seriously injured by taxi drives and there were large outcries in print media and over the radio. Keep in mind that many of these regulations came into force before the middle of the 1920's. And the people who owned the companies and even the drivers fought tooth and nail against them saying how it was going to kill their jobs and they'd never be able to cover the costs.
You realize that the main reason that all of these regulations started in the first place was because people were using their home vehicles as a taxi service right? Welcome to the early 1900's where every country here in the west has already been down this road. Those mandatory regulations exist because: People were using taxi's in high numbers in large cities. There were people killed and seriously injured by taxi's requiring insurance and the same for mandatory inspections of the vehicles. It's the same reason why they required chauffeurs licenses. CPR became a requirement because "taxis are everywhere" and so are the drives. That means more people who are able to preform life saving actions.
You can try to swing it all you want, in whatever way you want. But these regulations didn't come into being because the "taxi companies wanted them" or "the taxi drivers wanted them" they fought tooth and nail against every single regulation in the first place. So much so that they took out full page ads in the newspapers in the day saying how it would put them in the poor house and out on the street. Go to your local library and read the microfiche or digital archives of newspapers from 1890-1923.
Huh? Terry Boella is an actor who is famous for playing a character named Hulk Hogan. Is Johnny Depp a liar because he's not really a pirate?
According to Gawker? Yes. They're also sexists, racist and homophobic and they'd have no problem publishing their nudes if they existed as well. Female stars on the other hand? No no, they wouldn't do that.
Yeah they can try that bullshit all they want, but governments seem to finally be stopping it which is good. They're a taxi company, and that means they can pay on the same qualification that a regular taxi driver/company does. Mandatory CPR, mandatory inspections, mandatory safeties, and mandatory insurance.
Funny you're marked troll. Guess the intel fanboys don't like the truth. Here's the reality, if you have a AMD chip there's a program called IPC that removes that flagging in executables built with that. It's fairly well known in gaming circles, and people usually see a 10-40% increase in performance from their games. Sadly it only works with non-encrypted exe's and so on. So some steam games you're pretty out of luck with.
For one the games on PC are really optimized for the xbone and will run like crap. Example? The shadow of mordor requires 4 to really 8 gigs of video ram to run well?? That is because the consoles have shared memory.
Not even true. You don't understand that with integrated cards system memory is shared memory, meaning you need 4-8GB of shared vram. This mainly applies to the mobile videocards from AMD and Nvidia but also Intel. The actual system requirements are 3-8GB of system ram, the actual required VRAM from my own copy? It uses tops 1.2GB out of 3GB(on my Sapphire 7950).
Batman Arkham nights could slow a $2000 PC easily to a crawl because it optimized for a console and an Indian third party did the PC port. It was so horrible it was pulled from the market. I heard it came back recently.
It also slowed consoles in many cases to a crawl because it was poorly optimized, the entire game was a gigantic clusterfuck because it was rushed out the door. Need another example of a gigantic clusterfuck? No mans sky.
Also you are comparing 2016 specs and not 2013 specs so that is not fair since the current consoles are near EOL.
It's perfectly fair. PC hardware prices continue to drop, meaning you get more bang for your buck for the minimum level entry requirements for a PC compared to a static console. When consoles are ~3 years behind the curve, and even when the updated generation of consoles comes out they'll be at par from this year.
Go Google YouTube videos on this? The console smoke checks the pcs if you go under $500.
No, it really doesn't. Once you start sliding under that they're about par. You can even build them for $200 and get the same performance. 720-904p at 30FPS which is what the current consoles use. Reminder that it was the current gen of consoles and console developers that pushed the "the eye doesn't need more then 30FPS" BS. Something that those of us who've been gaming since the 80's and 90's already knew was garbage.
No one cares about the PC anymore sadly and publishers obsess over piracy and market share.
PC gaming between both consoles is the fastest growing segment, simply because the current gen are completely lackluster and the current consoles are very low powered PC's compared to even mid-range PC's.
Only if you think this is new. Intel has been doing shit like this for year and keeps getting caught, there were two lawsuits against them from AMD a few years ago where they ended up paying AMD around $7B USD for doing things like this and other forms of anti-competitive behavior which resulted in multi-billion dollar fines. Then again, nvidia has been caught doing the same. Probably the best example most recently is with their "Hairworks" API, which is likely going to land them in hot water again. Nvidia got nailed a few years ago for anti-competitive behavior over shaders.
Well curse had been cutting back on everything for years. It wasn't that long ago that they gutted their forums, then canned everything. And they bought out one of the old wow addon developer sites years ago, then promptly shuttered it(mainly the forums) and forced everyone to their new forums. I haven't played wow in shit 7 years? So I have no idea where mod authors and users even go to write or discuss stuff now outside of Elitist Jerks or Method. Then again, the devs gutted the piss out of most of the classes(skills and abilities) to the point where those of us who were hardcore nuts simply flung up our hands and said fuck it.
The strength of populist/nationalist movements is basically proportionate to amount of truth and reality the political system is deliberately choosing to suppress or ignore....
Well, it's pretty easy to now show that the media isn't your friend, they have an agenda. There are groups out there that are attempting to push corruption and graft for the media as perfectly good thing, and they're left-wing groups.
It would probably work similarly to the UK law that can send you to jail for not handing over a password.
That in itself in Canada would be a Charter violation and would be thrown out by any competent court unless the crown could show that there's a pressing need for a charter 1 violation. Up until a few years ago we had "exigent circumstances" codified in law, and it allowed the access to things(house entry, demand phone records/taps, etc) without a warrant as long as they could be fully justified afterwards and a warrant was then created. Had to be severe like abducted child, imminent threat against a person.
The courts ruled that exigent circumstances was an overreach of the average persons rights regardless of circumstances and was struck from law. Keep in mind that the case law around it was over 250 years old, and had been on the books for nearly 100 years.
This entire thing comes off as "hey look at those ideological opponents of ours, maybe we can just use the law to shut them up. And when we can't, we'll just change the law" And then they wonder why there's a rise in nationalists and so on.
Steering? Oh man, steering is the least of your problems. Kill the engine along with your power steering mid turn and I don't need to do anything with your steering wheel to make you hit a pedestrian. How about that ABS? The electronic system which controls brake pressure? Fancy a wheel suddenly locking up while you're going down a highway?
Killing the engine is only going to cause you to drop in speed, and power steering is tied to the engine. It's much more difficult to turn the steering wheel, but not impossible. And if you're making a turn over 30km/h, you're already a shitty driver and that's a driver problem. ABS? Depends on the type is a braking type, then it already is using 50% of the brake pressure in the system on the other wheel to ensure you're not losing control. All braking systems are designed in a diagonal system in the event of failure whether it be the ABS system or the old mechanical system. Is the the actuator type? Then again it's already locking the other opposite wheel so you can remain in control. Keep in mind that ABS system counter lock to the diagonally opposite wheel. Is it the transmission/transaxle type? You're only going to lose power in that one wheel as the transmission "drops off" due to differential pressure within--worst case you're going to blow one of the wave gears. Not forgetting either that even in the loss of the electronic system for brake pressure(which is done off vacuum), that manual braking still works fine. It's also one of the reasons why if a vehicle has power-emergency brakes which use an electronic actuator, that the ye olde manual part of hitting the brake petal still has to work. It's one or the other. The brakes always have to have a non-power assisted mode, either manually pulling a cable(non-power e-brake), or the fall back to the non-power assisted brake.
Not forgetting you're talking about trying to tell the ABS ECM's VSS, ABSVSS across 4 different wheels to do something it's not allowed to do by design. And if you've got evidence of a car manufacturer allowing that to happen, then you've got a bigger problem then the VW diesel emissions scandal sitting in front of you, and why haven't you reported the story to every media organization around?
You don't need a self driving car, just a car made in the past 10 years connected to the internet with an exploitable hole in the CAN bus to cause some serious safety concerns.
No you really do, the physical systems currently within the vehicle already stop what you describe because they're outside of the software systems and fall back to mechanical systems that are outside of ECM control.
Unless the vehicle has steering that's drive-by-wire you're not really going to have to worry about much from a safety perspective, and there are a few vehicles that no longer have physical steering wheels but rather use electric motors for steering. Right now that's only in the very high-end vehicles. But over-all you're right, you don't want them connected as such, or you want specific parts to be separated from other components of the vehicle. I've got no problem with console/maps/etc being internet connected, but there's a huge problem once you start connecting the engine/transmission/ABS/traction control computers to everything and start letting it broadcast/receive all over the place.
But this is something that's going to become more of a problem as you see people thinking that self-driving cars, or vehicles with some form of autonomous control are a great idea(something that quite a few people on/. think is a great idea too). Once vehicles start talking to each other, get updates on traffic conditions on the roads and all that jazz, it won't matter. You're not going to be able to air gap them, or separate them at all. So people take your pick: No autonomous vehicles, or autonomous vehicles and having them wired up to external broadcast signals. There won't be any middle ground.
(Also, Canada does not have an FBI equivalent. The Government of Canada doesn't have enforcement agencies, the crown does. We like our policy makers separate from enforcement that you very much)
Knows so little about Canada.
As mentioned the RCMP is the FBI equivalent. The RCMP sometimes operates as both provincial police and local police, but only under contract--but has jurisdiction across all Canada unless it's waived by a standing provincial force(OPP, SdQ, etc), in which case they only operate inside that province and only operate "token offices" but will mobilize against any threat against national security regardless of that agreement. They will also at the behest of the provincial, territory or federal AG launch investigations into said province, territory or any federal holding. The crown is the government in Canada. CSIS is the equivalent of the NSA and has actual enforcement powers. And yes, in the 1960's and 1970's the Federal Government in Ottawa excavated out huge underground bomb shelters in the event of a nuclear attack.

I'm pretty sure royalty, billionaires, politicians and Hollywood celebrities are using real underage kids.
You'd be right, just look at pedo island and the number of politicians, billionaires, and so on went there.
They look safe for now, but I actually like Kotaku and Gizmodo. It's probably really shitty to work at these companies, which had nothing to do with leaking pr0n, but who's employees are still affected by it.
They're just raging hypocrites, and claim that anyone who doesn't follow their progressive garbage are sexists. While their authors turn around and try to bully, shame, or attack people who refuse to bow down to their bullshit. Fun reminder it was Sam Biddle of Kotaku that cost them $1m-10m in lost revenue for his "bring back bullying" tweet...during bullying awareness month. And of course after that, they then started whining that the people who cost them that are the persons who are really the fascists.
Nah, nerds have too much self-respect to hire someone like that. Besides, he's too busy crying into his pillow while repeating that nerds need to be degraded and bullied.

That in itself in Canada would be a Charter violation and would be thrown out by any competent court unless the crown could show that there's a pressing need for a charter 1 violation. Up until a few years ago we had "exigent circumstances" codified in law, and it allowed the access to things(house entry, demand phone records/taps, etc) without a warrant as long as they could be fully justified afterwards and a warrant was then created. Had to be severe like abducted child, imminent threat against a person.
The courts ruled that exigent circumstances was an overreach of the average persons rights regardless of circumstances and was struck from law. Keep in mind that the case law around it was over 250 years old, and had been on the books for nearly 100 years.
Can't tell if joke or poe's law in action.
Well, a particular kind of assholery. Threatening and intimidating people.
Considering that police services in Europe have been detaining people for wrong think for the last couple of years? You should be getting the fuck out of there, along with the rest of Europe. Other stuff off the top of my head include the threats by the police that no dissenting opinions will be allowed regarding anything to do with the economic migrants. People arrested for different opinions(labeled as "hate speech") and labeled as racists. Scottland yard wanting to do the same thing as the Met. And it's just not the UK, but other countries as well.
This entire thing comes off as "hey look at those ideological opponents of ours, maybe we can just use the law to shut them up. And when we can't, we'll just change the law" And then they wonder why there's a rise in nationalists and so on.
Is Ted Turner involved? I'm expecting Captain Planet to come screaming out saying "Recycle or I'll fuck you up."
Steering? Oh man, steering is the least of your problems. Kill the engine along with your power steering mid turn and I don't need to do anything with your steering wheel to make you hit a pedestrian. How about that ABS? The electronic system which controls brake pressure? Fancy a wheel suddenly locking up while you're going down a highway?
Killing the engine is only going to cause you to drop in speed, and power steering is tied to the engine. It's much more difficult to turn the steering wheel, but not impossible. And if you're making a turn over 30km/h, you're already a shitty driver and that's a driver problem. ABS? Depends on the type is a braking type, then it already is using 50% of the brake pressure in the system on the other wheel to ensure you're not losing control. All braking systems are designed in a diagonal system in the event of failure whether it be the ABS system or the old mechanical system. Is the the actuator type? Then again it's already locking the other opposite wheel so you can remain in control. Keep in mind that ABS system counter lock to the diagonally opposite wheel. Is it the transmission/transaxle type? You're only going to lose power in that one wheel as the transmission "drops off" due to differential pressure within--worst case you're going to blow one of the wave gears. Not forgetting either that even in the loss of the electronic system for brake pressure(which is done off vacuum), that manual braking still works fine. It's also one of the reasons why if a vehicle has power-emergency brakes which use an electronic actuator, that the ye olde manual part of hitting the brake petal still has to work. It's one or the other. The brakes always have to have a non-power assisted mode, either manually pulling a cable(non-power e-brake), or the fall back to the non-power assisted brake.
Not forgetting you're talking about trying to tell the ABS ECM's VSS, ABSVSS across 4 different wheels to do something it's not allowed to do by design. And if you've got evidence of a car manufacturer allowing that to happen, then you've got a bigger problem then the VW diesel emissions scandal sitting in front of you, and why haven't you reported the story to every media organization around?
You don't need a self driving car, just a car made in the past 10 years connected to the internet with an exploitable hole in the CAN bus to cause some serious safety concerns.
No you really do, the physical systems currently within the vehicle already stop what you describe because they're outside of the software systems and fall back to mechanical systems that are outside of ECM control.
Unless the vehicle has steering that's drive-by-wire you're not really going to have to worry about much from a safety perspective, and there are a few vehicles that no longer have physical steering wheels but rather use electric motors for steering. Right now that's only in the very high-end vehicles. But over-all you're right, you don't want them connected as such, or you want specific parts to be separated from other components of the vehicle. I've got no problem with console/maps/etc being internet connected, but there's a huge problem once you start connecting the engine/transmission/ABS/traction control computers to everything and start letting it broadcast/receive all over the place.
But this is something that's going to become more of a problem as you see people thinking that self-driving cars, or vehicles with some form of autonomous control are a great idea(something that quite a few people on /. think is a great idea too). Once vehicles start talking to each other, get updates on traffic conditions on the roads and all that jazz, it won't matter. You're not going to be able to air gap them, or separate them at all. So people take your pick: No autonomous vehicles, or autonomous vehicles and having them wired up to external broadcast signals. There won't be any middle ground.
(Also, Canada does not have an FBI equivalent. The Government of Canada doesn't have enforcement agencies, the crown does. We like our policy makers separate from enforcement that you very much)
Knows so little about Canada.
As mentioned the RCMP is the FBI equivalent. The RCMP sometimes operates as both provincial police and local police, but only under contract--but has jurisdiction across all Canada unless it's waived by a standing provincial force(OPP, SdQ, etc), in which case they only operate inside that province and only operate "token offices" but will mobilize against any threat against national security regardless of that agreement. They will also at the behest of the provincial, territory or federal AG launch investigations into said province, territory or any federal holding. The crown is the government in Canada. CSIS is the equivalent of the NSA and has actual enforcement powers. And yes, in the 1960's and 1970's the Federal Government in Ottawa excavated out huge underground bomb shelters in the event of a nuclear attack.
