I look forward to seeing all of the research and data behind the politicians claims about climate change not happening and everything else that comes out of their mouths. After all if they are writing the laws based on those claims then we should be able to see how the politicians arrived at them. Laws are much more important than regulations so the burden of proof should be much higher than they are demanding for the EPA and other departments.
Nobody is forcing these companies to work with Walmart. When Walmart makes demands that mean these companies can't make money no matter what they do the right decision is to walk away, not sign the contract with Walmart. But they sign that contract and more and more companies continue to make that mistake. I'll feel bad for the ones that walked away and couldn't make it, not the ones that stayed and failed.
How about the fact that she, et al, were supposed to be running the companies that Trump owns at arms length and not talking to Trump about anything that could be related to those companies? Instead at least two of the three of them are now working in the White House and nobody is picking up on it. This was all discussed when Trump was running for the Republican leadership.
So the only hypocrisy that I'm sick of is all of it coming from the Trumps.
Plus a large proportion that said yes did so because they were told the money saved by not being in the EU would go to hospitals, farming, and such things only to find out the day after the vote that the leave side never had such intentions.
It was never intended to be a binding vote until the leave side won and then all of a sudden it was.
I don't really blame Scotland for wanting to leave the UK. The only thing that kept them in the UK from the first referendum was the fact that if they left then they would be leaving the EU without a chance to get back in. A couple of years later the UK votes to leave the EU. I'd love for the EU to offer Scotland the ability to stay in if they left the UK and make the same offer to Northern Ireland too.
Why would it be better if they supported xenophobic nationalism? That's what got Trump elected and the US into the mess it's into now.
Make up Trumps, Bannons, and the rest of the group to have browsing history going to sites like various Catholic Churches, black gospel music sites, charity sites like Habitat 4 Humanity, looking up wikipedia pages on green energy production and organic farming, and things like that. Sites that low profile and completely against what they preach for.
Imagine what NASA could do if it didn't spend 65 cents of every dollar filling out Freedom of Information requests from industry lobbying groups with patriotic sounding names!
From the summary: "This means that only about $7 billion of the rocket's $19 billion has gone to the private sector companies, Boeing, Orbital ATK, Aeroject Rocketdyne, and others cutting metal."
Or this has nothing to do with security? It's funny that only airports that don't have American carriers were targeted by this ban. So now if I have to go to one of these cities I can take one of these foreign carriers and not have access to my electronics or I can take an American carrier to have access to my electronics on the long part of the flight with a short connection flight. Wonder what a lot of people will do.
If they were really worried about a fake iPad holding explosives they could have worked with the airports to ensure that additional testing was done and to make sure that the electronics were turned on. It's not like you can fill an iPad with explosives and still keep it working. And notice that I said work with, not take over the security. But all their measures have done is put the dangerous device into the cargo hold where it still is dangerous. You just don't know what it's next to when it blows up, if it exists.
Operating the system to call up to open the main door isn't just a matter of pushing a couple of buttons. What if the translation system/operator input the ring number wrong? You need the robot to be able to either call for the correct ring number or look it up using the system (but the name is not always there). There are a lot of different entry systems. Do you program the robot for all of them or do you build an AI (better)? The process of gaining access to a building by ringing up a person isn't a straight-forward push 3 or 4 button exercise.
And now that you've got this robot moving around drones doing deliveries are removed from the equation. So you have a self-driving car and a robot once you get to the building.
As a community we have had the wrong focus with the fight over open versus closed software. It doesn't matter. While I prefer my software open source there are times when it just won't be made unless a commercial entity sells it under a closed source model.
However the important fight that we have long neglected, and continue to do so for the most part, is for the open access to our data. I don't care how I created my data. It is mine and I should never be held hostage to access it. When an application is released it should include a document that explains how the data is stored so that other applications my access it. That way if work stops on the application for any reason (the person on an open source project stops working on it, a company goes out of business,...) then it may be possible that other applications exist that support the format. By having the file format available it makes it easier for other developers to write import/export routines.
There should be laws that protect people from determining the format of data files in order to provide support in their applications. In addition if they publish the details of the file format they will be protected from civil lawsuits.
Too many companies use the format of their data files as a way to lock in customers and with every new release they change the document format. The data is mine, not the company's. I should be free to use the program of my choice to work on my data. And if someone sends me a file I shouldn't have to be required to own a copy of the application just to view the file.
Make a better application and I will buy it but only if I can move my data over to it.
It's one thing to deliver a pizza, other food, or small parcel to a house where the person can come to the door easily. But currently when delivering to a large building you let the person in to bring it up to your door. If you use drones/robots/self-driving cars or some combination of them they will have to get a lot more advanced to get to that level. People aren't going to want to go down to the lobby to wait for their orders. And if you keep the person to deal with the building you might as well have them do all the work.
Some tractors already drive mostly by themselves today. The operators handle the turns and let the tractor drive the straight part while they are able to focus on what they are doing (seeding, applying something, harvesting,...). When they get near the end of the row the operator takes control again for the turn and repeats the process. It's the overseeing what is happening to ensure nothing is going wrong that is being automated now. The automated driving of tractors has been done already. The operators don't really have to handle the turns when in the cab but do it more out of habit.
All that conduit will be plastic and the plastic comes from Big Oil. So of course Trump and the Republicans will want it passed to help out their friends. Just think that with every meter, sorry foot, of new road laid down then a food of conduit will have to be put down too.
Of course you can do that now without the need of the conduit. Just force the incumbents to rent the lines and space in their data centres to third party ISPs and the problem is solved. The rent is cost plus a specified amount of profit. That's how it works in Canada and while it's not perfect we do have some ISPs that are much better than Rogers and Bell. The CRTC may have screwed up a lot of things but that is something they got right. I'm looking forward to see what the fibre offerings are going to be like when they soon become available through the independent ISPs.
Big deal about the highways. They need the conduit installed when they put the roads in for a new subdivision of housing or paving the road after replacing the infrastructure below (sewer, water supply, storm pipe, electricity, etc).
From the article linked to: "Functions that use pointers or references to base classes must be able to use objects of derived classes without knowing it."
That's pretty much using inheritance. I don't care if I point to A or the subclass of A. Whoop-dee-doo. I'm making use of the inheritance.
You should be letting the OS do all that management. I don't want the cursor blinking at different rates in every application. Let me set it up in the system preferences and don't think you know better than I do. How fast the cursor blinks doesn't actually impact how fast the window is refreshed.
Why are you wanting the red line to appear if you start to type a function name wrong? In Xcode when you start to type a function it lists all functions that match and as you continue typing the list gets smaller. When you select one the function appears and all you need to do is fill in any parameters if there are any. But the application shouldn't be dealing with any of that stuff. It's all down at the OS level no matter where you are running.
I didn't know what it was until I looked it up in the article. So basically you want me to remember that some guy came up with a name for using inheritance and if I don't remember it I'm a bad programmer?
Test to see how the person will fit into your team because no matter how great they are if they disrupt how the team works. Then for programming skill and then for things like remembering the exact definition of terms that they could use Google to get.

They're charging for the key to decrypt the data.
It'll just happen to be on the Blu Ray disc that they sold to that nice marketing company.

I thought that Australia got rid of their paper money when they moved to plastic polymer notes years ago.
I don't think you can get any more surveillance around that part of London.
