I suppose someone could complain about that - or about any number of things. I only meant that I found nothing to complain about.
Personally the removal of auto-refresh is my favorite change of all. So annoying when I'm reading the summary of an article halfway down the page, and the whole thing reloads, invariably scrolling the summary I was reading off the screen. Good riddance!
I lack a skill that most people posses -- I find it difficult to "read between the lines" when I'm talking to people. I miss subtext and "unspoken" bits of info. I don't lack that skill when READING.
You pointed out the exact example (in a different way) that the parent provided (you with compounding interest and the parent with compounding growth). While % itself is exactly what you describe, it is also exactly what the parent described over time which makes sense given the context of his post.
Basically, the parent left out just two words at the end of his second sentence -- "over time". But that is made abundantly clear by the second sentence.
Almost, but not quite. "2% over time" is still linear. You need a third word - "compounded". "2% compounded over time" is exponential.
Think of it this way: If I measure a value over a period of time, and calculate a percentage of that value at each point in time and give it a name, that's one thing. If I measure a value and then add a percentage of that value to the original, thus changing the value being measured, that is a very different thing, and has a very different effect.
Well duh, what do you think he needs all the fiber optics for?! Everyone knows that time travel requires lots of fiber optic cables.
What's that, he doesn't steal the cables, just cuts them? Well, that just doesn't add up.
I guess the submitter should have just said "The attack follows 11 previous ones in California in the preceding twelve months.", considering that "preceding" is also used again in the very same sentence.
Apparently you have never been to Kansas the eastern quarter of the state has the flint hills, Kansas City, the state capitol, state colleges, and the majority of the population, the other 3 quarters is flat, sparsely populated, and the most boring drive you will ever take just like in the movies.
Try west Texas... Just sayin'
(And yes, I've driven both, but you said "most boring" so there you go.)
I agree wholeheartedly. Sadly, the handwriting for this has been on the wall for some time. I can only hope Debian's Iceweasel port of Firefox does not adopt this "feature".
This makes me start to wonder if there is a reduced capability browser -- something leaner and meaner, focused militantly on privacy and even going so far as to deliberately not support portions of HTML5 (e.g. DRM).
Coders of the world, here's a niche you could fill...
Ironically, that is exactly how Firefox started in the first place. As a smaller, faster, reduced capability version of Mozilla. And the cycle begins again...
Why bother to have an interview if you're not going to answer any questions?
"That’s something I can’t speculate on.
We continue to study other potential markets...
While I can’t comment on potential future vehicles and technologies...
Again, I can’t say much on the possibility of a EREV SUV other than we know it’s something Volt fans would love to have in their garage....we continue to study the development of sensible technologies...
I can’t provide specifics as to what exactly we’re focused on for the future.
What our plans are... is something we’ll discuss in the future.
We’ll have more details to share on the technology that will be used on this vehicle as we get closer to production launch."
"After that concert I realized I want to spend as much of the rest of my life as possible playing folk music with these gentlemen. And I want to spend all of it as a woman. I came to a realization that I was, and am, a blonde, female folk singer trapped in the body of a bald, male folk singer, and I had to let me out or I would die."
If there's a CEO of a 25,000 employee company making as little as $4 million, he's probably already doing one of these "publicity stunt" $1 salary things.
Try $40 million (Qualcomm is about that size, the CEO makes $60 million)
But seriously, confirmed. Never had or wanted a Facebook account (or Myspace, shudder). Idle Linkedin account that I got talked into making when I was job hunting a few years back, but it was never really useful for anything. If you can't be bothered to e-mail or call me, I guess you didn't need to reach me that badly. My social life is plenty busy, and like you say, my technical skills, knowledge, and experience are more important to employers than my "social media footprint" (eyeroll).

Good, good, good, good, good... Wait, what is this? Positive changes, nothing to complain about?
I don't even know what to do.
Good job Slashdot, keep it up.
"stolen" uh huh.

That sign's not going to stop a bugler and neither will the "police only" nature of the back door stop hackers.
Those pesky buglers! Nothing can stop them! They keep sneaking in and playing "Reveille" to wake me up in the morning. So annoying!
I can see it now, licensing test:
1.) Hack the computer containing this test to give yourself a passing score.
If you can do this, you are qualified to find security bugs in computer systems. If you cannot, you are not qualified.
But seriously, what is it that you would be testing for exactly? Proficiency? Morals (people can lie, you know)? Responsibility (ditto)?

Well they aren't now, but how about back in September?

Nah, I've seen that database guy. He's way too out of shape to unload a truck. Not to mention his back problems. He'd be in the hospital if he tried.
It sounds like this guy did a lot of upfront planning, but then failed at some of the most basic precautions.
Shit. These guys always do that. They always mess up some mundane detail.
It's not a mundane detail, Michael!
Pssshh, 80k...

So... You'll be firing yourself immediately then?
