because it will make people think that they can write security-critical software with even less understanding of what is going on. Rust will make some types of attacks harder to do, but by the dumbing-down effect it will add other problems.
While this is a valid point, Rust likely represents the future in software thinking where other tools are made that will compensate for possible mistakes made by ever faulty human programmers.
there's really no reason under the sun to continue to produce 32-bit cpus, even for highly embedded and IOT stuff.
You actually had me going until that. There are a whole slew of reasons why a lower byte count would be needed for embedded and IOT stuff. For example countless IOT applications are going to need to be low current - low power low heat devices controlled by low current low power processors. It sometime still feels like to me that many 64bit processors still require close proximity to a nuclear plant because of their current draw. Certainly nothing that can be powered by a small battery alone for a couple of weeks to a month. And if they are truly low power (single digit wattage) they simply will not have the clock speed/horsepower to be able to run 64 bit compiled kernel code. I won't even get into the power conservation reasons of billions of IOT devices needing to be low current. Nor the price point that IOT devices will need to be at (aka market demand). Forcing a "one size fits all" mentality demonstrably does not work here and is counterproductive.
Or alternatively he could have hired a math, physics, or engineering major and accepted a few months on the job training. Most computer languages aren't that complex for code monkeys, and Universities give all STEM students exposure to programming computers now. It's not as rare a subject as I think the parent would have us believe.
But I think both you and I really know that he was too eager to head overseas for him to even think of this. Outsourcing does not effect just programmers, but it depresses everything in the STEM field to the point that you are pigeon-holed the day you graduate.
This has been going on for decades. What they will do is string a customer along until they EOL the hardware so they do not have to fix the firmware problem anymore and move on to making the next piece of crap. Really people, there is ZERO reason you should be buying anything with the Netgear name new *or* used. An attorney general somewhere needs to make an example of them.
Because I love having a nanny protect me from the big wide world that might say something offensive to me, and I can't make my mind up myself about it??
They'll just make a permanent fix for the problem and issue a new version of the phone.
Nerds understand things this way, the general public is too far detached. The going theory (from the likes of marketwatch) is that they will discontinue the Note line altogether because there has been so much damage to the brand at this point. Which I think would be truly unfortunate for all the phablet lovers out there.
Samsung should retool the G7 to contain two or three smaller 'proven' Lion battery packages
That would be the definition of "cells." Putting cells together make a "battery." Whether they put batteries together or separately would not make a large difference imo. Where Samsung may have gone wrong is not making the battery removable and instead relying on new speed-charging circuitry that is bound to heat up a battery quickly. Perhaps the entirety of the circuitry needs to draw less current. The engineering discussion about the Note7 at Samsung right now must be very interesting.
Everything is not rosy with Walmart's penchant to do away with workers. One thing is an exploding crime problem at their stores because there is not enough personnel around. Who wants to go shopping in a crime zone? That and a popular local Walmart has an extremely hard time keeping the store shelves stocked. It's wonderful to have low prices, but I usually am wasting my time going there only to see empty shelves.
So disposing of workers only goes so far. I simply do not believe that our android workers will arrive in the near future to mitigate these problems created by lack of workers.
All those single board computers (SBC) like what are used in nuke plants might need updates to prevent hacking. I hope this doesn't melt the thing down somehow.
...it should be patched by early February. In the year 2245.
And this is why LG is losing me as a customer. They drag their feet with every single security update, probably to "encourage" owners to upgrade. You'd think that they could afford to hire someone just to take care of the occasional security patch and update. That and they should be sued for their phones overheating because of the 810 processor. As good as the LG G4's camera is, Samsung's is on par with it and other's are catching up as well.
There are very few ways a country can actually invest in its economy in the long term.
You mean besides dealing with the grotesque wage inequality that we have now?
People always thought that deflation (worse than inflation) would happen when a large quantity of out of work people would be unable to buy things, leading to a collapse in prices. But it can also happen through wage stagnation where people are working, but because their wage and buying power do not increase, they simply do not have the means to be consumers and grow the economy. So you end up with the same surplus of goods and services that people are unable to buy, leading to deflationary price collapses. People also put off marriage when they are poor, and there are less consuming families also. Think of an economic drought, just like California has a water drought.
To encourage a kid to go into a CS is a mean thing to do. Congress will continue to fall over themselves ever expanding the H1B program. Companies will love them right when they get out of college, but they will not pay above a certain salary - the same way a fast food joint doesn't. Then when they reach 40 years old they will be thrown on the human waste pile for not having "current" skills or not willing to put in 80 hour weeks with Mountain Dew and Hot Pockets. Like all the other recent college graduates are or newly arrived H1Bs. Then they'll be lucky to get a $10/hour job at a call center or target.
If you love a kid, encourage them to become a plumber. if they want to do programming, it can be the hobby that they can do out of love for an open source project.
I don't have a problem with offshoring. They just need to pay taxes like others do. Instead of thinking that congress will give them a tax free holiday someday so they can scoot their hoard back over here for free.
So capitalism involves cheating and gaming the H1b system to the point of criminality so corporate profits can be maximized at the expense of everything and everyone else? Sign me up for a different system.
Why are we not investing in the education of Americans so they can be the 'replacement workers'?
Part of the perfect lie that is STEM is that only a few people need training to perform manufacturing tasks. And for those few that do need some additional skills on the job training works great. Apprenticeships are alive and well in China. It does not take much looking under the rug to see the dirt, and it's everywhere. When Apple was making the first version of their iphone over in China at Foxcon they were hiring workers on a daily basis straight off from the rural farms. They were not turning anyone away.
How much training did those workers have?? Apple seemed to make do with them.
But I do not remember any widespread training in the US for those same jobs. Instead everybody was jacking their stock price higher than ever while Apple et al said that they did not have enough trained workers. Everybody wants to look the other way because they want to think that it is a shiny miracle - not the disparagement of the tech workforce that it really turned out to be at every corner.
The workers that they did have stateside they found a way to collude with other tech giants in order to control salaries. Other degreed and experienced engineers like Eric Saragoza they merely sloughed off. Nobody was going to hire him at his age when there was a giant surplus of workers looking for work even before the great recession. Merely because of how companies like Apple were able to export tech work to both India and China and eveywhere in between.
I really do not know how any stateside tech worker can buy an Apple product especially under Tim Cook, because they are actually helping to fund the demise of there own career.
So H1Bs are really just one piece of the larger puzzle used to help control the prices they are willing to pay for skilled labor in the US. When they say youngsters need to study STEM, what there really are saying is;
"we want to keep wages completely stagnant and you can help us do that by paying for your own training so we can get rid of older workers. But if you do not show up that works for us too, because we'll just get cheap H1Bs as they're easy to train and won't ask for raises. If they do, we'll just have some under the table agreements and they'll have no place to go. They can train their own replacement if they become too much of a hassle. Oh, math and physics majors, don't bother applying because you're not in our salary range either. We'll just say you're stupid and can't handle tech."
I could go on, but that's the gist of it. The really smart Electrical Engineers went to wall street and became successful quants. So at least one industry culture needed and saw the value in skills that could be transferred.
I find it's just quicker to hack the parking enforcement database than wait around for stupid government FOIA. After all, they don't ask permission to snoop around with all of our electronic communications. An email for an email, so to speak.
Anyway Op, looking around in the department's server I ran across some dash cam video you'll probably be interested in, and I have a screenshot of your stolen car here.
All I need to proceed further is the VIN. Surely you have that, don't you?
Actually if Scholz's star had a planetary system, that would not make any meaningful difference for the larger numbers especially considering the low accuracy. E.g. using your thought, it might take 109 years instead of 110 to reach a planet orbiting Scholz's star using a nuclear engine. So the distance would not necessarily be a lot smaller. It does have a brown dwarf companion, but again it would not make much difference time wise. Being discovered in 2013, it is not known if it has any planets orbiting it. Another question is if it gravitationally captured anything in the Ort cloud.
According to the article, there will be a satellite launched that will be able to provide more information on stars passing close by both in the past and in the future.

One thing that LEDs aren't emulating (yet) is the nature of a dimming incandescent where the color gets more yellow-red as you dim the light.
They are now. Introducing Philip's "warm glow."
Except in all actuality Tila Tequila is a brown dwarf.
You know what this could lead to?! A mandatory Windows(TM) license for every human on earth!
Anyone else remember when Qualcomm used to make lawnmowers?
I certainly do. Their 810 processor runs so hot that it's clear to me it runs on gasoline.
Spend the dime and fix the Kindle for Android app first. Many people can't get it to work *at all*.
When the water is bad though, it's a real gas.
