Citing the fact that it was an unconfirmed report in the middle of an article does nothing when all the people on Facebook see is a trending topic and a headline. Do you really think that they are going to go read the article to see that it's unconfirmed?
If they wanted to extend the runway then one of the two roads it sits in between would have to be split into two parts.
Or have the road go under the runway but then there's a lot of extra maintenance costs, even if he pays the installation, just so a billionaire can land his jet and save a few minutes.
The problem, and not just in the US, is that you end up with a couple choices in which you have to make the best decision from. When you make your vote you are picking the person or party that best represents* their views on the issues. But no candidate will perfectly reflect what the voter wishes so there will always be some compromises. Unfortunately the source of electricity generation tends to come lower down on the list of priorities and won't prevent a candidate from being elected.
I'd like to see a set of referendum type questions that would guide the elected government no matter who won. I don't know how it would be enforced. There would be questions like - What should the focus of the government be (Job growth, debt reduction,...) - Should the government run a deficit? (No, Small 2%, Med 5%) - Where should new electricity be generated (Fossil fuels, Nuclear, Wind & Solar,...)
* - I'm talking about a person that has researched the issues and not one that just votes for a party because they always have or their family always has.
If you were to run the transactions again it would be against the new table which has the 64-bit value instead of the 32-bit value and they would succeed. Of course this would have all been avoided if the person who decided on the original data types had spent five minutes thinking in the first place.
I like windmills too. I was just making a somewhat sarcastic response to the parent that said the windmills ruin the sight and I said coal plant because it was in my mind as the article was about them. I could have gone on a rant about how the parent was wrong about them being very expensive to operate and maintain and that they are noisy too. As to their visual elegance it's more of a personal opinion.
Can someone tell me what the upside down bird held aloft by a water fountain do? (I'm aware what it really represents but when I first saw it it reminded me of how kids draw birds.)
Take a look at the image credits. It's from Shutterstock. If that was the concept flying car from Airbus then I would expect the image credit to be from Airbus, or their subsidiary, and the car to have branding on it.
I do agree with you about the noise of the fans on the car in the picture. I wouldn't want those things flying around my house.
It's strange to see all the posts on here in favour of municipal governments acting as ISPs. First of all it's not very often that government has shown itself to be more efficient than the private sector.
But what I really find hard to understand, and I'm not trying to troll, is that the government being ISP is a good thing while it being a medical provider, or paying for medical services, is a bad thing. Even threaten to mention a single payer medical system and the cries of socialism ring out. Having a healthy population is more important than the government providing Internet access.
The US could move to a single payer system with the government being a single insurer and the healthcare providers remaining private. This would allow people to see anyone they wished to instead of who was with their insurance. Costs would go down because paperwork would be reduced and because a single payer could get larger volume discounts. And if people wanted to pay more to get faster/better service they still would be able to.
As for the ISP problem just force the big companies to open up their data centres like what has happened in Canada. You don't need to have the government run yet another set of cables in the ground. And get rid of rules that prevent another company from putting in cables/fibre if another company already has some there. But the new company, and the old, would still have to open up their centres to other ISPs. You don't want to have to require every ISP to install cables or fibre to every building. And there is no reason that the government needs to own the last mile.
The Plus models have better cameras at the very least. The SE is missing a number of features including touch support. I would like Apple to bring out a set of phones that all have the same features and the only difference between them is the screen size.
Right now I'm using the 5s because I won't upgrade to the SE as I consider it to be crippled due to all of the missing features. The only reason for excluding features are marketing and not technological. I want the smaller phone because I need to use it one handed. I tried the larger phones and they don't work for me. If Apple doesn't smarten up they are going to lose me and others as customers.
I worked in a federal government department for Canada that did most of the website development and hosting internally. Sometimes they would outsource the development of a site if they were too busy. When I was there the Internet development and maintenance groups had a meeting with the new CIO for the department. First thing he says is that he knows nothing about the Internet. He's never even been on a website. This was around 2005.
The group was made up of developers, graphics designers, product managers who dealt with clients, QA, and a few others. Later on in the meeting the new CIO went on to say that we were all interchangeable cogs. I've never actually felt the morale drop in a meeting before.
I was talking to him later on about something else and he couldn't understand why people were upset about that comment. He meant it that they shouldn't sell themselves short and they could do anything. This guy was a real people person!
It's a small tablet with a phone functionality added on. Will someone please make a phone size phone without penalizing the buyer by removing features (looking at you Apple!).
Since when does Apple have to make something that brings a benefit to the world? Do you want them to start making medical equipment now?
However, under Tim Cook Apple has brought out the last of Steve Jobs ideas and now they are pretty much aimless. They move from one bright and shiny new idea onto the next one while ignoring the products that brought them success in the first place. Apple has completely lost their focus on building applications that are easy to use. Just compare how the Music application on iOS use to be and what it is. Before (iOS 7 or 8) when playing a song you could change the volume and set the rating on the screen. Now you have to pull up another screen to change the volume and put the new screen away to change songs. And you can't change the rating (stars) for a song anymore, just whether or not you like it with the heart. I have a number of smart playlists that use the rating for sorting new podcasts so I can't use my iPhone anymore as I am unable to set the rating. I used to listing to a number of podcasts while away from home and set the rating for what I wanted to do with it later on (delete, keep, look into buying the bands music, etc). Now I don't listen to podcasts that have music because of that change. Ever since buying Beats things really started to go downhill.
I'm no fan of Tim Cook as CEO and wish he was replaced. Apple needs someone with vision and the wisdom to remain true to their principles back in charge.
Maybe he wanted Cook to push the rest of his stuff out to market and another idea person might not have done that. A numbers guy will keep the ship steady on course. The problem is that Cook has been there for too long and it appears that innovation has stagnated. So they are buying companies and plastering Apples interface over their work. And the biggest problem is that Apple is concentrating on the big, shiny new thing and letting everything else go.
Apple desperately needs someone to come in and get people back onto the Apple philosophy. Their current Music iOS application doesn't have that ease of use because it forces uses to take a lot of extra steps that previous versions didn't. And having different features on the iPhones based on the screen size is a terrible decision.

Backups were ineffective. 30% of our users lost their home directories permanently. He never lived it down. Check your backups!
It isn't a backup until you have verified that you can restore from it.

They couldn't possibly create their own content. Not everything comes out of the US and revolves around them.

Just go with the base storage of either 16GB or 32GB because people stream their music and store their pictures in the cloud. /s
Just a regular day on /. then.

Where's my news for nerds?
That shipped sailed a long time ago.
Broken clocks aren't right any time of the day now because they're all digital.

Windmills look a heck of a lot nicer than a coal fired electricity plant.

Nothing like a logo refresh to solve all of the problems that a company has. /s
The acquisition that keeps killing Apple.
Not that Tim Cook hasn't done a good job of trying.
or the vehicle needs to be self piloting.
You mean like it says in the first sentence of the summary?
That's why nobody will be flying or driving them. They'll be autonomous from the start.
