And I really really hope I get to see them collapse under their own weight & finally get some decent service from the multitude of new comers that step in to take their place.
I feel your pain, I had to write SQL on a white board once only to realize that i can set up enterprise SQL servers & create database automation, but haven't used the basic syntax in so long I've almost forgotten it, there is no business value to knowing SQL syntax off the top of your head, and coincidentally these folks were marketing a software with no update system & were running off SQL 2000, so I can't imagine they ever got their noses out of their books long enough to realize the folly of their ways. I have no regrets either on not landing that job.
I'll put it the simplest way possible on that: our electric grid would melt in an hour. That's one of the problems with fully electric cars, our infrastructure isn't designed to provide the energy we are currently drawing from gas to power our vehicles... water heaters & furnaces yes (but limited), cars no.
Did any of you RTFA? He said that the range dropped as he was driving, so he thought he had 80 miles as per the guidelines at one point, but the car said something in the 60s. The best allegory I can give you is hard drive manufacturers and their actual vs advertised storage spaces (hint: a 240gb SSD is more like 220gb). For $101,000 that can raise an eyebrow or two.
At $101,000 there's a very targeted market for this car... namely to the people who think it's cool and have more money than they know what to do with. You can land a very nice bmw, benz, or lexus at this price range that's been established for a lot longer in it's design and features... as well as reliability.
Also, a 1/2 ton electric battery under the cockpit creeps me out a bit, not a pretty way to go if shit hits the fan.
Well shit, I can't buy this car, I do all three of these daily in a normal car... and the only reason I would ever wait for a battery to charge on a car would be while I'm swapping it out for a fully charged one... we're not there yet (+ these batteries cost like 2k?), nor do I own a car with a battery.
That really really depends on whether it was the cars fault or not, if it was they obviously wouldn't want to, but would that be a statement in and of itself? It typically is, otherwise they can use the logs as weight against Times.
Nah, there goes 10% of the potential candidates, the ones they'd want. "Move fast and run" is synonymous with "coding sweat shop". It just takes some experience to pick up on it. I'm sure they'll find what they're looking for, but not in the manner that they want, they'll get something up and running and then invest the bulk cost into maintaining it, but quality of work is something that is very hard to come by with expansion.
I agree for the most part, but you can't possibly call everything art, let them take a shit, but keep the bar level, don't call it art, just because something's legal doesn't make it moral, or pleasant. Rub their shit in their faces if they don't know any better and the problem will resolve itself, don't outlaw it, or call it art.
So, because porn & cybersex aren't free speech, go ahead and ban them? It's not the free speech argument that's at stake here, but the government overstepping its part into people's lives, however far away those people may be.
You refer to the eternal September, implying age, so what if I was the government and told you you can't have sex with your wife unless it's to conceive a child, cause it's immoral and a sin? Suddenly, the fights at your door and it's personal, same concept, related to you.
Who's the government to tell you you can't have sex with your wife, and who are they to tell you what you can, or can't look at as long as it's consensual?
But still, the comparison that comes to mind is renting or buying a modem. When you look at it that way, buying almost always makes sense. A little bit of expertise from my side suggests using a PSU that is just enough to power the home server. Of course, there's uptime and redundancy to consider as well.
Give the people what they want, then encrypt your shit w 4096-bit keys, not enough? Double it. Modern connections can support it just fine. I honestly believe, that the politicians in washington right now don't understand the nature of the internet, not even a bit. And... this is a bad way to go about it, but does anybody else think that average people using the internet actually need a bit of help?
It's not most of the people on here that are getting their identities stolen, kids getting molested, & personal data stolen, but it would be irresponsible to turn a blind eye towards it, government intervention or not.
I'm also intrigued: will those sites have to change their subscription saving ways? What if it was just a subscription and you didn't save shit, does that fall under the patent?
I meant technology wise more or less. It makes sense when you take into context the website you're posting on. I'm not aware of any other website that lets me subscribe for say water filters to be delivered every 3-4 months to me.
As I understand, they patented their subscribe and save feature which has been around for years. How nobody else implemented this almost justifies that amazon should get the patent... almost, it's a stupid patent.

Why does he need to charge the battery? Just bring an exercise bike and a pair of jumper cables with you wherever you go!

There's definitely the opportunity to do so now...

It's now, or later? I don't think they considered cyber security when setting up the electrical plants and grids too much back then.
Well... what's there to prevent terrorists from using social networks?
This is news because he is quite possibly the first religious figure to resign short of death, or a war in which thousands die.
The only way to fix gmail if the NSA has root access is to stop using it. Physical access is game over.
Most encryption is end to end and the keys are generated on the fly based off of dynamic variables.

There are a ton of crappy sci-fi time travel flicks. Those novice sci-fi writers aren't scared, just new.
Also reading about work sounds more boring than being at work. A feat tough to match.
Your caps-lock infused first post can be interpreted both physically and metaphorically. Well said sir.
To drill down further: let's talk about websites that are significant in size and thus significant to the internet:
