> How do you feel about the ending of The Big Bang Theory?
Silicon Valley is funny, well written, accurate, and well acted. Big Bang Theory was none of those things.
Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system today, thanks to its proximity to the sun and its impenetrable carbon dioxide atmosphere, 90 times denser than Earth's.
Power imbalance reinforced by exposure to stereotyped junior roles for women causes girls at the earliest ages to avoid IT due to lack of role models. Loss of those unique viewpoints decreases company adaptability and capacity for marketable innovations. That means the ultimate losers are all investors, and society itself.
That's like saying I'm not 7ft tall because when I was in first grade someone told me most people are 5'8".
3. Bill Clinton's meeting with Loretta Lynch, while presented as 'secret', was intentional, and intentionally leaked.
I agree it was intentional - my theory is that Bill already knew the FBI findings and he went on that plane knowing it would look bad in order to force everyone to get the findings out before the democratic convention.
"Damnit! Now we have to present the findings ASAP!"
There's a Navy airbase at Virginia Beach, so I'd say that's a good choice considering the Russians have been snooping around our undersea cables lately.
What we do know is that last week the FBI contracted Israeli software provider, Cellebrite, to help break into the phone.
No, we do not know that. The contract was for software licensing renewal on a handful of servers. If you READ the contract, that's what it effing says. Just click the link for christ's sake.
Eliminate the SUV loophole and the big bloated turds would be gone quickly.
Hmm, not exactly. If you look at the current Jeep lineup they are happy to put underpowered 4-cylinder engines into the low end of the line for each vehicle. Since they really suck to drive with the 4-cylinder it must be their way of getting to that fleet average mark.
How many times have you heard the 11 o'clock news "teaser" for an interesting story they wait until 11:28pm to put on the air?
Usually if you have your laptop, you can go to a news website and, boom, there is the story without waiting 28 minutes through commercials and a dozen local crime reports.
Local news needs to adapt. The "string you along so you keep watching commercials" passive-watching business model is gone for good.
I'll play along with your enumeration of Constitutional rights:
The 4th amendment states you cannot be searched without a warrant or probable cause.
The 5th amendment states that you cannot be forced to provide evidence to incriminate yourself.
Stopping people at random and forcing them to take a breathalyzer - without having observed them commit a crime or being informed from someone that they may have committed a crime - violates those two rights above. Clearly.
And then on top of that, at what point do you get to invoke your miranda rights? After you were forced to incriminate yourself or before? After you were forcibly searched or before? After you are taken into custody or before?
Guess what, newspaper reporters can be jerks! They often dash off at warp speed with poor information, and see conspiracies and evils where they do not exist.

Hang on though, we're working very hard to catch up and maybe we'll be #1 soon.
I've been using the internet for a long time but help me out here. What is the goal here?
www.ibm.ibm? or just www.ibm?
ford.ford? www.cars.ford? drive.a.ford?
gmail.google instead of gmail.google.com?
You can mark me down as a firm "whatever".

I'm not an expert, I just clicked the link that read "View" to see the details.
$15k sounds about right for software licensing to me, how exactly do you get them hacking the iPhone in question from that?
You can measure the quality of any streaming music service by typing the word "motown" into the search box.
Does Motown immediately start playing? A+
Is there a list of Motown playlists? A
Does something else happen? Fail.
The demo starts at 2:31:00 into the keynote video:

Keep a written record each time something unreasonable is requested.
After a few months (6?) show the documentation to the manager of whomever is making the requests.
Then crack open a beer and wait for your new middle manager to arrive.
Political or not, software project or not, someone in the management chain isn't doing their fucking job and you should not simply accept that.
Actually, both programs abide by the 4th amendment.
... (post-watergate era even!)
Also, here's the 1979 supreme court case ruling that your phone records are not private: Smith v. Maryland
Yeah, it's a cute story but I wouldn't trust them with my backup data.
These people didn't have a risk plan for their business that included hard drive shortages?
Their product isn't worth $10/mo ? (raising price)
Can you imagine an airline that doesn't factor in changes in fuel prices? Or a farm that doesn't have a plan for drought?
Bone for tuna!
Smart people don't want to be managed by C-minus business majors.
Even worse would be managed by even an A-plus History/English/Psychology major.
Of which, corporate america is currently rife with.
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU.
I was starting to think I was the only person who thought that was an extremely poor design decision.
Head over to your local coworking establishment.
100% worth it.
Maybe it's because you've got a bunch of C+ business majors running the show, continually fucking up simple projects.
And then on top of that, treating your software engineers like 2nd class citizens.
Fuck that noise. I left after 6 years and don't plan to ever go back.
If I can read in direct sunlight, in color, you can expect to see this device appearing on beaches everywhere.
I love my iPad but it never goes outside.
Ironically enough, this is the quote under Eric Cantor's yearbook photo.

Dude. Every tablet I have seen from Microsoft, although a valiant effort, HAS A MOUSE CURSOR where you put your finger.
That demonstrates a complete, total, utter lack of understanding about how people want that form factor to operate.
Truly, if they just hide the fucking cursor and put 30-45 minutes into thinking about an operable main-GUI they could pull it off without much effort.
Yeah, that, and the BASIC interpreter itself. Not a small thing.

... small local papers.
That's why they work at
