A better question is why do we still have mostly paper based libraries. Some books (a small minority) can't be digitized, sure, keep paper copies for those. But the rest can and should be digitized. You can then dramatically reduce the cost of staff and facilities, and make the service more convenient. What's not to like?
That sums up the problem with the left, actually. The left wouldn't care about a pedo ring involving their anointed candidate, just like they didn't care of Bill's frequent flights on the "Lolita Express" to the pedo island. The reason why Clinton is mentioned in Pizzagate is because the "conspiracy theory" originates in her emails published by Wikileaks.
He defeated Clinton who had been building her career up for this election over the course of 30 years, had unconventional, "ethics be damned" style support from mainstream media and DNC, raised a ton more money, etc. He picks up politics a year and a half ago and beats Clinton by a margin not seen since Reagan. He also beats the openly hostile press, both parties' establishments, and well over a dozen of other primary candidates, and does it with one third the money and people of the opponent. And then armchair politicians like you go to Slashdot and post drivel about him not knowing what he's doing. Enough already. The dude is pretty darn smart. He knows _exactly_ what he's doing.
And women elected in these will forever be branded as "diversity hires" and never given credit for anything, even if they deserve it. The only thing that "affirmative action" shit like this accomplishes is it creates deeply seated prejudice. It may be hidden, but it's there, and people don't forget. The only way to avoid this is by promoting strict, unyielding meritocracy.
It's the CHINESE COMPANY that's looking into making phones in the US, not Apple itself. Apple itself doesn't make anything, and it hasn't for at least a decade. They design, market, sell, and support the product. Manufacturing is not among the things they do.
Did they miss the part about there being a huge trade deficit in their favor? That basically means that in any kind of real trade war they'll automatically be on the losing end. This is nothing more than preemptive grandstanding and a skilled negotiator like Trump sees it for what it is. He will aim to narrow or eliminate the trade deficit, which is what we should have been aiming for all along.
And news of Clinton's transgressions and Wikilieaks revelations were quite obviously suppressed. It's not just FB either, Twitter did that too, and so did Reddit and Youtube. Google has banned "clinton health problems" from autocomplete, among other things. FB executives made no secret whatsoever out of where their loyalties lie. A little Google birdie told me Ruth Porat (CFO of Google) wept during weekly company meeting after Clinton defeat, and levels of SJW activity (and therefore Trump supporter suppression) have markedly increased inside Google after Trump won the election, despite being already crazy high in the months prior. Don't fucking be telling me that the big tech companies or mainstream media helped Trump in any way whatsoever. He won against all odds because people who are tired of all this bullshit used their right to a confidential vote.
Someone on the internet joked that if Trump walked on water, healed cripples and turned water into wine, the headlines would be: "Trump can't swim", "Trump takes jobs from doctors" and "Trump is a raging alcoholic". That's not far from the truth. I hope this is obvious to everybody. Give the man the benefit of the doubt. He has no other reason to run for presidency than to do good for this country. His version of "good", but "good" nevertheless. Don't believe the propaganda, he's not "literally Hitler". You'll all be fine (except for immegal aliens with criminal records, you guys can start heading to the border as we speak). The country will be fine. Just do your part to, quite literally, make America great again.
Clinton has been building up to this election over the last 30 years, and had Bubba as her advisor, a charismatic dude who won two presidential elections, and, if you watch his older videos, used to know how to connect to the "common man".
Trump has picked up politics as a hobby 1.5 years ago, and first defeated 17 other Republican candidates in record time, and then defeated Hillary by a landslide with half the money and half the staff (but 10x the rally attendance). That's pretty badass no matter how you slice it. So I think he's smarter than people give him credit for.
What's with this obsession with confrontation with Russia? There was never a single country that fought against Russia and did not regret it profoundly afterwards. Can't we just get along and be partners? Do we really have to put nuclear weapons at their borders? What good can this do for us here?
Both Democrats and Republicans wanted it. Donald Trump is for all intents and purposes that "independent" candidate people said they always wanted. He just had to run as a Republican because people are too dumb to elect a real independent or a libertarian. Get this: some of the top Republican brass (including former Republican presidents, governors, etc) voted for Hillary instead.
Yes, it's not thread safe for sure. Whether it's atomic or not depends on the architecture and type of "x" (I bet there are more ARM devices out there today than Intel, so let's get on with the program). Worse, compiler is free to reorder or otherwise rearrange the code you've written as it sees fit, as long as in the single threaded case the result is the same. Worse still, machine code is then executed out of order too, so if your X is read from another thread, you can't guarantee the increment has already happened even if the compiler happened to put it where you expected it. And if that wasn't bad enough, if the other thread is on another core or socket, without synchronization you can make no guarantees about one thread seeing the results of another thread's instructions, even if they have already executed. Worse still, you may be seeing _partial_ results, as in, torn writes and the like. That's why you have barriers and have MESI and other cache coherence protocols that people have come up with: to keep the relevant bits in sync and ordered in time, and to tell the compiler which instructions are OK to move upwards or downwards across any given barrier, while at the same time not ruining peformance by requiring that everything stays coherent all the time.
For 99.99% of people all of the above is irrelevant detail: just use mutex locks, and you'll be fine. And the performance of your code will likely be fine, too. With low contention mutexes are actually pretty fast nowadays. For the rest, I strongly recommend reading the aforelinked paper repeatedly until it is fully internalized.
No THEY ARE NOT "cache piercing". That's literally the whole point of the paper. The goal of atomics (and the various memory orders that they offer) is to minimize cross-core cache synchronization and only keep cache coherent when you have to. What's in RAM is completely irrelevant -- the CPU cores never actually directly see the memory, their view of memory is what's in the cache.

I believe they do this every year based on their revised estimates for q1 shipments. IOW this is not news.
Extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence. All you're providing are three links to liberal rags.
You do get points for not getting caught, though, and unlike in real spycraft in cyber warfare this is much easier to do.
> have the perception of lying politicians
> however for the most part they are rather truthful
Not any of the politicians I know. If they were truthful, there wouldn't be this "perception " that they aren't.

They're building it in Canada instead of Mexico. Don't like Hispanics much, do we, Brewster?
I work in a computer science research lab, and about 30% of our researchers are women. What was your point again?

Not feeding the cows also does that, because they die. Can I have a research grant?
No windows laptop can replace a MacBook because Windows laptops don't run macOS. What a stupid thing to ask.

And Ron Paul as the chair of the Federal Reserve. That'd actually be a pretty badass move IMO. He will oversee its audit and subsequent shutdown.
Seeing that mainstream media is mostly fake nowadays, news sites should worry. Especially liberal lapdogs like HuffPo, WaPo, CNN and so on.

>> Only thanks to Sanders Clinton also was opposed to TPP.
That was her "public" position for the rubes. Her private one was whatever Goldman Sachs told her it needs to be after it paid her $250K per speech.

And until you do, please don't embarrass yourself in public voicing your opinion on topics you don't have a foggiest clue about.
