The same companies that have resisted higher fuel mileage standards for decades? The same companies that would be making massively greater profits selling larger gas-guzzling SUVs?
The same companies that require those subsidies to even produce those cars? If it was such a boon to sell those cars why did they wait for the subsidies?
Looked down upon as in requires more evidence before it is believed.
At one point meteors were thought to be fantasy by the scientific establishment because they were too catastrophic, and that was changed when evidence was produced to show otherwise.
If it pans out, as it has, then the need is still real.
Actually being able to lock out app stores would be a big selling point.
Cisco generally goes for the corporate sector not the home user. Thus being able to strictly control what applications are on the devices isn't just a selling point, it is a requirement for many of their customers.
Research does not equal support for global warming.
Research finds support but it also finds things such as weather satilites. Climate trends. Water tables. Pollution and air quality surveys. Storm prediction. I could go on.
There are many reasons to pour money into researching the climate and weather other than just to "support" global warming. The research just happens to be supporting it.
Because the IT folks are not the ones choosing the computers in many cases and because most computers now that are available for IT to choose come with functioning USB ports and that making them non-functioning (including disabling/securing the mouse/keyboard ports) is too time consuming and would cost money (aka time) that is not allotted to them.
What about something in an easy to handle shotgun? For the person who doesn't shoot much but still wants to be ready for the zombies. Also squirrels. Automatic is a plus for the squirrels.
The problem with narrow and precise means that you need more laws to cover all of the things that should, justly, be illegal.
It is a balancing act like so many things in life.
Similar to the US small government arguments. The US will never have a small government, nor should it as it is a large nation. There is a lot that the US government needs to cover and should be doing. While I agree that as a whole it should be reduced there are many places where it should be expanded and many more that should not be reduced.
Why? Because cows have those germs naturally as part of their GI tract. Germs that in large quantities are harmful to humans. Food poisoning from bad milk has been a problem recorded well back into the middle ages and earlier. It has been seen on many different types of farms not just factory farms and from free range cattle and is well studied and known by science.
Your friend has a milk allergy. It's possible that different forms of milk won't aggrevate it as much, but likewise some people will have a horrid milk allergy to a protein in raw milk, but no allergy to those in heat treated milk.
If it was heated animal proteins then why doesn't the steak and other meats bother him? What is so special about milk proteins?
As for the body used undigested proteins...no it doesn't. Your gut is hellishly low pH, no protein is going to survive that pepsin and HCL hellstorm without alteration.
Yeah they also brought the field of modern medicine which has saved far more.
Before science it wasn't too uncommon for a woman to die during childbirth and the survival rate of children has risen drastically. So if you really cared about fetuses being born and having life you would encourage science.
Of course science also sometimes speaks against religions when the evidence points that way and it teaches people to think and criticize thought and knowledge both are very dangerous to the religious mind.
Why not tax brain cells and get right to where all the illegality happens?
People listen to music and make copies of it! They remember, and never pay royalties on their memories! The music industry is losing quadrillions every day of unpaid memory royalties!
Think of the poor starving artists who need to be compensated for their work or else you won't have any good music!
Indeed and it should be prosecuted as such. As a civil libel case not as disorderly conduct.
Throwing harsher penalties at a problem doesn't make the problem go away. This is doubly true when it is children and teenagers who are the targets of said penalties.
The penalties are supposed to make someone "think twice" about committing a crime. However your average teenager hasn't yet learned to think for the first time.
The basic complaint is that HR can't always select good people with the theory that HR's practices and indeed the idea of trusting schools and certificate organizations is bad.
It is true that schools and certificate orgs cannot completely weed out all of the bad employees or prepare all good employees.
However, nothing can. The article is basically asking for something that is unreasonable; that a good coder be hired every time a coder is hired. Yes, you could just hire experienced coders with long track records, but that won't work for all cases. There are not enough experienced coders and there never will be (especially if every company insists on ONLY hiring experienced).
Furthermore if experience becomes the requirement for getting a job then all candidates will get experience, even the BAD ones, so you'll just be faced with the same problem but posed such that "HR hiring based on experience means we are not getting good enough coders what can be done?!"
Ok then how is a school supposed to prepare their students to get a job in the real world if nothing they do counts?
Giving students education - Not proven doesn't count Getting students degrees - Not believed doesn't count Getting students certifications - Not believed doesn't count Getting students a portfolio of projects done with the school - Here not believed doesn't count
Do keep in mind that the Apprentice system is pretty much dead and most people don't have time or the luck to be able to work on projects independently that would count for anything.
So while yes a few people can teach themselves, do the projects in their own time and pull themselves up, the number of people able to do that is far lower than the number of coders needed. Also many good coders come out of the school system and many a bad coder has been "self-taught."
No. I don't think that is the reason that a user who needs lots of data should also need to sit down, but I do think you are somewhat right.
Two reasons both of which stem from the fact that on Wires the signal is cast down a narrow path with only a limited number of recipients. Yes there are some wireless technologies that also are narrow path but these behave in practice much the same way as wires do, chiefly that they are stationary.
First is security. It is more difficult to tap a wire and easier to protect a wire. The area you need to protect for a wire is much smaller than that for a broad-cast wireless signal.
Second is overlap of signal. You can add more wires to an area but the number of channels over the airwaves that you can use is limited.

It isn't news.
You won't hear about it in the media.
If he was a supporter of Global Warming we'd hear about it for a couple of weeks as one of the top stories.

Not really. Catastrophic is actually looked down upon in the scientific community.
Ok. Who are the big bidders for pro-climate change? And by big I mean those that can put down millions.
Clean energy, who spends most of their money on R&D?
Politicos? Who could get leverage a lot cheaper elsewhere with that same money?
Who?

Don't you think for one second that they don't want to eat our tasty brains.

Indeed, I would like to see at least a review body to go over old laws.
Or at least make it so a law has to be reviewed at least once after it has been in effect for a number of years before it is made permanent.

Nah this was just an accident. Someone tripped on the carpet and hit the big red button.
It's made of cores!

Teaching programming to all comers is impossible. Some just don't want to or possibly can't learn programming.
It is however possible to teach programming many people. I learned programming with a teacher guiding me and thus have been taught programming.
Teaching isn't about putting knowledge and learning into someone's head. it is about helping to guide someone to knowledge and learning.
Unless the rootkit records the decryption keys, or changed the algorithm, yes it will.
Rootkit isn't some magical hack everything solution. It is low level access to a machine, bad enough, but not unstoppable.
