Google should pay the newspapers for the content, and the newspapers should pay Google for indexing and pointing people to the content. And the cost for both should be equal. Ohh, that's how it is right now? ok If they want to shoot themselves in the foot let them. They'll come crawling back.
brilliant business people are the opposite of productive.
That's an ignorent statement.
The whole point of being a brilliant business person is to let others produce for you while taking full credit/full benefit from it while exerting the least amount of time making that happen.
ohh wow. I live in an area that gets fios, 150mbit down/ 65 up. Sure torrents are faster. Usenet is even faster, but everything is just so much quicker. Those downloads you wait 2 minutes for? Try like 5 seconds on my end. There's really no wait time for things. I have a openvpn set up between my home and a remote location and copying things to my backup site is much quicker and faster. I can even open videos on the other site and watch them real time without having to download them. I don't really get the concept of "ohh this is enough, i don't need any more". There's always a use for more bandwidth and speed. Plus it drives the prices down due to competition. Maybe the fastest speed isn't worth the price, but you'd better bet the competition will take note and offer better deals.
I don't really understand people's school of thought. If you can take a pill to live forever, they would have figured out how to stop dna degeneration and effectively put a stop to the aging process. At 300 years old you would be as healthy as when you were 30. Using the body's natural stem cells with perfectly replicating dna without any strain on telomeres would basically make you regrow entire body parts as your own body's natural regeneration which would be in effect as good as the parts it's replacing. So understanding that, why would people think that once the aging process has been bypassed, why when they're 150+ they'll be infirm and in bed and old? Do they also think that if they live to 600 they'll turn into a turtle too? Just nonsense. If i could live forever with the body of my 25 year old self i would do it in a heart beat.
I bet if the question was if you could, would you become a sparkly vampire (effectively eliminate aging) i bet that choice would of been chosen a lot more.
License plates are the first step. Then facial recognition for people walking in the streets. Same logic can be applied to walking in public. Then as soon as you connect to the internet every site you visit and every post is considered public domain information. You're on a slippery slope where there is no end. That and i mean come on. Police search for stolen property? What fairy land reality are you living in?
Do you want to change the laws? It's simple: Just crowd source the same technology, keep track of all police cars and government officials. Watch new privacy laws created with extreme speed and efficiency. It's never a problem when privacy concerns affect your average citizen. But when it affects those with those who are privileged it will always be a top priority to fix.
Every single sony earbud headphones i've ever bought died. Each time the wire that leads up to the speaker part has frayed and basically gotten disconnected.
Ever since i switched to Sennheiser CX series i haven't been disapointed. I still have the original cx-300 i bought several years ago. I had to replace the silicone part of the headphone, but the speaker and wires are rock solid.
There are all different variants now on amazon. Honestly you can't go wrong for the price.
But if they did that i wouldn't know who to root for. On one hand, Sony is a terrible company that needs to be made obsolete. On the other hand, Comcast is one of the worst cable companies.
Not to mention that housing two ICBMs in buildings which... terrorists would fly planes into would really make those fireworks even more spectacular next time around.
Have you thought about external forces being involved with fluctuation with the orbits to cause a shift, rather than something that can be accounted for within the system itself? For instance when the sun's system passes through a galaxy arm, the close proximity of the other systems (close being relative) it travels near having an effect on the balance of the orbits of the planets? For example, a rogue planet/red dwarf which may have gotten close enough to have an effect on the orbits of the planets after the encounter later by adding instability which was corrected afterwards with planets migrating to more stable orbits/oort cloud disruptions which caused a flurry of comet activity,etc?
I'm not advocating that it's possible, i'm just curious to see what kind of event may have taken place so that it's possible, and how noticeable the effects would be. I would assume that the orbits of the planets always try to establish the most stable pattern possible, but small disturbances, which may not seem like much during the event, may over time cause instability which would effect the overall system as it finds a new "ground" state for rotation. For instance, if for some reason, Jupiter was shifted towards the inner planets, to lets say where the asteroid field is between mars and jupiter today, how would that affect the inner planet's orbits? I would assume it would have a major effect over time, probably mars and some others would be ejected, but i'd like to then know what kind of event would cause that.
There are things called load balances, QoS, bandwidth limits you can set. Besides, you talk about comparing laundry detergent which is a measured resource compared to bandwidth. If you use 50% of your bandwidth, where does the other 50% go? To waste.
lol. ODB-II/CAN Scanners can be bought for less than 100$. Pays for itself when the check engine light comes on and the error code says "change oil soon" or some stupid other code that's easily resettable. How the hell are cars walled gardens?
I DO want a color tv. I'd much rather spend my nightly recreational activities in full color. Unfortunately as a one income family I won't have the income to buy a color tv even if/when they come out on the market.
Sounds familiar? Yeah, thought so. Stuff that's cutting edge is cost prohibitive, but it becomes common given a few years to mature. If no one does the research and starts developing it, it will always stay a dream/cost prohibitive.
This 1 million times. Administration being responsible for trying to get rid of a good teacher. Teachers having their hands tied behind their backs for no good reason. Good smart teachers having to go through the system for doing what's best.
This is an example that happens all over the country. There is no question in my mind this is one of the major reasons why no one in their right minds wants to become a teacher and why America's schools are failing big time.
Ohh, that's interesting. So you think student classes aren't stacked? Problem children are identified and if the higher ups have it out for a teacher, they get lumped with all the problem children. I know for a fact this happens.
Besides, teachers no longer have control over how they teach and their curriculum. It's been watered down to teach these lessons or else, stray from what is handed down and you get tossed out.
Pass or fail criteria is also used, not student history. If the student is always failing by a large margin and the teacher does his best, but the student still fails by a much smaller margin, it's still considered a failure and counted against the teacher.
Look, there are bad teachers and there are good ones. If you're using only student scores to see if they passed or failed state/national testing as the only criteria to determine if a teacher is doing their job, that's not going to fly in the real world. Take into account the student's history, their background, how the classes were stacked that year, and personally get an independent evaluation of the teacher's methods, then you'll see the real picture.
The real problems are the following: A) Parent participation/home life of a student. B) Rigid standardized testing and planned curriculum that a teacher cannot stray from. C) Bad upper management, class planning, equipment and funding for classes/class sizes D) Gross misuse of funding going directly to administrators with no show for performance of students E) Teacher seniority/lack of getting rid of bad teachers F) Unions and lack of unions
By Unions and lack of unions let me explain. If you go to NYC, they have a strong union. People just do not get fired after tenure. Teachers tend to slack off, just show up, do only what they're supposed to and barely scrape by and their students suffer. Ex: When i was going to school there was a teacher who instead of controlling the class used to just sit for 15 minutes playing a tape which said "Please stop talking and pay attention to the front of the class room". That is 100% completely unacceptable.
Then by comparison i can point out Florida schools where the union is gutted. The principal appoints their friends to get the cushy positions doing absolutely no work. Anyone not affiliated with their church/religious activities will get stuck doing real work or a stacked classroom of problem/poor performing children. The teachers are afraid to stand up to her and will do anything or be terminated.
Hopefully there's a good medium where good teachers don't have to get political connections to keep their jobs and bad teachers can be filtered out of the system through good checks and balances, not the court of public opinion.
Job performance? How is evaluating how students perform akin to how well a teacher taught their subjects? Using a standard car analogy, i guess we can relate car accidents to how well the road repair crews are doing their job, correct?
You can't force students to learn. Until they devise a methodology for injecting knowledge directly into their brains the best teacher in the world cannot teach students who do not want to learn.
hmm.. the standard, i would of assumed that TCIP was the standard that google is not adhering to. GTFS is interesting and good in it's own way, but it's devoid of information that's useful to transit systems, such as Run information and timepoints. Without that information it will only be a subset of the information needed.
Having nukes isn't just a way to just produce power. It's a way to guarantee safety of your borders. No sane country will invade another if it will guarantee massive destruction. With all the posturing of war between the US and Iran, having a nuclear deterrence will definitely be a game changer.
Wonderful. The researchers developed a plastic to capture CO2. I dunno, kind of sounds like this isn't green at all. Develop tons of plastic... to fix a problem, nope.
I think i'm missing something here. Obviously the cure for diabetes is giving people antibiotics so they reset their gut bacteria? I mean, i know i'm going out on a limb here trusting a slashdot editor approved summary submission but...
So what you're telling me is that if you hire 5x the amount of personnel working at Ben Gurion you could not still match the amount of people at JFK? I thought that is exactly how you scale up operations?
Also what's the success failure rate of the screening/security at Ben Gurion vs JFK?
TSA is what, 0 out of X number of preventing/catching anything?
