For technical reasons I would point out most of Europe and the world uses a parliamentary system which is based around strategic party mechanisms. In other words, the US' 2-party system is strange but democratic and has no effect on republicanism. Parliamentary systems are undemocratic as coalitions inside the parliament have to be formed which is anti-democratic but very republican.
So, unless you live in a similar democracy to the US you are certainly not in a truer democracy than the US.
And in evitably we'll become basically a society of thinkers or explorers, it is the fundamental end-game of human society. The problem getting there will be how do we deal with the massive third-world population that is only now seeing the 2nd and 3rd revolution mashed together into one confusing amalgamation.
Carnegie Mellon is generally viewed as only behind MIT for their science. I don't understand your complaint except that a University won a suit in their home district against a company that didn't want to pay. Keep riding high on that horse, being principled on stupid ideology is always wonderful.
To be fair though, I almost landed there for my doctorate but ended up traveling farther for a different path.
100, 000 cases of polio. There, I said it. Cultural eradication in this case would be tragic but inevitable. Especially considering they breed a threat to the world over.
You are correct. It does belong in a museum! I suspect the packages outer wrap was addressed to a real person or the department just was awesome and took a chance.
We're reaching a point with automaton that as you stated we're looking at a society that needs to pursue nobler goals. We're living in a time when we as a society should be working less for greater money pulling money from the elites towards the middle and bottom. Meritocracies are past their usefulness as it has become an excuse to deny support to our surplus population.
All calculations like this are based on current income rather than proposed income. I would assume google could get about a 40% market share of the 100+ million households. So 40 million households would need to pay 3500 to cover the build out. So factoring low cost lending and a profit margin of about 50% to cover maintenance it would come out to about 3-5 years to pay everything off and generate a healthy profit. The issue is that the telecoms like their monopoly and thus were unlikely to see google fiber widespread soon. Atleast our children will live in a more liberal anti-corporate world...too bad it's taking another decade or two to see the real results.
Bullshit, the majority of what we've called "artists" never starved and lived adequately. The problem video games regardless of their art status are a mass prodction good that needs to find a serious outlet to recoup their investment. They're arguably more expensive than TV and movies to produce and have only a slightly better success rate than TV but a worse rate than movies. The problem is big game publishers aren't that thrilled to produce every game they see unless niche markets want to pick up the cost of limited scale. Kickstarter is a cute gimmick to esentially the eternal problem in a capitalist society. Nothing is going to change for the indie developer unless they stop thinking so indie and produce games that have wide appeal on a shoe string. It can be solved but the answers are what nobody with the power want to hear.
You disqualified anything you are about to say by calling the USA a police state. It's a monitored state at best but our crime rate proves it is anything but a police state. We still have serious unsolved rates and almost no political assassinations. So what you think is fringe to reality.
The government isn't out to get you. They have better things to do. This story is anecdotal and at best a good laugh since some good came from it. Please refrain from making generalized statements about things you know zero about.
Thanks, People who actually have dealt with the FBI
Sounds like the FBI probably did a simple wipe by their IT and never gave it a s3cond thought that this spyware was so durable. The standing that it was OKed is so condtlitional it would never survive a wider scrutiny. In other words: Dumb luck prevails.
Also, the computer was school owned. The game would have been much different if it were private. It's akin to catching the principal doing it on the school's library computers.
The problem with the gold standard is that it uses a division principle to adjust for inflation so that the rich get markedly richer while the poor literally starve. The point of fiat currency is that the stronger your GDP is the more money you can print without hurting your economy. Thus the guy who sits on his 100 million at 3% interest will meet inflation but the average worker every time we raise the minimum wage will see a vastly larger benefit. In short we need fiat currency to keep a modern economy working because of the huge surplus labor pool mixed with the insanely large world economy.
Because they would have to upgrade their computer systems with a new version of the same OS every year? Sounds like an issue of labor not of technical ability. Since each update should in effect be a 1.x update not an X.0 update it shouldn't need a full wipe and should go rather smoothly once the initial kinks are worked out.
Overall I welcome this because a nominal fee yearly is better than several hundred every few years to a totally new landscape. Evolution over revolution makes sense for how stable the PC market is now.
Seriously, just stop. You sound like an idiot to everybody. This is the stupodest argument people can make because you can't argue for semantics then argue against them. You don't get to make up meanings as you go along. Free thinking is cool but you can't just reinvent meanings just because they don't suit you.
No you're confusing the generally accepted term with whatever you think. Enthusiasts want to build their own PCs and that usually means gaming as well as other uses. They tend to want higher power over lower consumption. So once again ARM isn't viable for literally a score of reasons. This story comes up often and always ends up false otherwise they would concede almost the entire white box industry and gaming segment to AMD overnight.
In terms of laptop chassis they are a better buy over the dell/hp/asus round up but they use the same commodity parts. Apple is notorious for using the cheapest boards they can get. Alineware & Falcon just charge a great deal for options since you've already paid for the better chassis and each upgrade is a bit of free profit.
The GPU is arguably a 4xxx or 5xxx chip (depending on the reference) which puts it light years ahead of the 360 & PS3. It's older and slower than the most modern stuff but it could run TF2 in 1080 and other quality PC games easily. If there is serious cpu/gpu lag it's half-baked instructions in the OS holding it back still. Course I take such comments as heresay simply because they wouldn't screw a launch over like that if they could help it.
Nintendo opted to go cheaper so they could release at closer intervals. It may or may not work though if it means the loop & PS4 only show up in Q4 2014-5 then the WiiU will almost be done and the next Wii3/U2 will be nearing the market for 2016-7 and that would for sure be faster while the loop & PS4 are just beginning their long life cycle.
Short answer: Capitalism is a meat grinder. We don't have a shortage of science and tech workers, just cheap ones. Our world's economy is run by business majors not economists just as our governments are dominated by lawyers not political scientists. They aren't interested in fact-based outcome decision making. If they were we would be in anmuch different and better world.
Not really, math rarely is factored into these kind of decisions. Least not the complicated aspects. There math consists of "this costs me more momentarily" and like Frankenstein's monster and fire they get stupid. The lost productivity combined with disinterested workforce drives the value down. So yes, their refusal to support their workforce is simply bad math with a shift of the burden onto the state. They want a welfare state by forcing taxpayers to subsidize their poor business decisions.
Ssshhhh! You can't let them know you're a person with feelings!
Seriously this is such a terrible meme that runs around. Most tech and science workers are constantly updating their know-how but it just justifies them firing older better paid tech workers for younger underpaid fresh from college workers who will take 1-3 years to get up to speed. Meanwhile if you had gone to business school you would be relevant forever and probably better paid.
Funny how it's the racist party trying to defend their agenda. Obama was talking about infrastructure and basic Keynesian economics prove it true. Government investment in infrastructure allows businesses to succeed. In all honesty though your perception of redistribution is broken. Those who own a business rely on others for success. Now the Republicans are lying about what the statement means while avoiding the obvious philosophical issue that they're constantly running from.
Not true. They would need to prove malicious intent or serious market influence. Though usually by the time somebody is being sued they have done one or the other. If I write a duplicate app and give it away to friends and family Apple/Samsung isn't going to sue me. They will sue me if I release an infringing app on the app store/play store. It's mostly an issue of market penetration if I were giving it away.
To put it in perspective: Samsung has sold a minimum of 150 million android devices. Paying a billion dollars is small potatoes but it opens the door for Apple to more aggressively take on Android makers to try and drive them from the market or at least squeeze a licensing deal from them. It's bad news for competition in general. Of course this decides nothing as Samsung is appealing.
