Hmm... Not sure what you are saying here. Does that mean every guns, tanks, fighting air planes, etc., should be blessed by priests/clerics before they can be used??? If I buy a gun, I should go to a priest/cleric for a blessing before I can use it??? And why do we need to involve religious in this? Another Crusade war? How about other countries that believe in other religious (e.g. Buddhism)?
Simplified information is a two-edged-sword. There is a thin line between enough and oversimplify information. Oversimplified information often time leads to misconception.
It is true that simple information would benefit people in the way that they can easily understand what is going on. However, keep reiterating the simplified information without giving more depth (educate consumers) when needed is a huge problem. People nowadays take information as is because they are overloaded with information. When they are fed with information that is simple enough, they will take it as is and then move on to other thing else. As a result, the simple information leads to misconception. Similarly, I agree that over-analyze/over-thinking could lead to negative results as well.
The thing is that I did not say anything about one should over analyze information in my reply. I simply said that the statement of GP said is too simple and should not be taken as is. I gave more information on what should be looked into, but did not say how deep one should do. I can't answer how far one should go because it all depends on the person. I am sorry that I did not include the statement of not being over-thinking when one wants to do more research on it.
On the same reddit site (someone replied), here is the image link of how the guy did the "work around" in order to be able to install a Linux distro. Sadly, the guy had to do mangle with hardware...
Does no one else think that airplanes with radio/network connectivity = bad? Does no one else think satellites orbiting Earth at 17,000mph with radio network connectivity = bad? Apparently only a few.
I would ask if the control of an air plane can be controlled remotely like the car? If so, then it is bad. And if Tesla can update/patch their firmware of their car via Internet, then I am waiting to see some other vulnerabilities of the update/patch system they have in the future...
Actually, it basically is consumed calories - expenses calories. Thays
It depends on how you define "consume" and "expense." If you define "consume" as eating, and "expense" as activities then it is too simple. Each person body could absorb nutrient from consuming food at a different rate. Also, each person could spend different calories on the same activity (metabolism). Besides, certain disrupt in normal routine of eating (e.g. Anorexia) could change the system (different metabolism rate) in your body. Thus, you oversimplify the way of how calories work with human body.
He may or may not need to pay taxes depending on how they handle this transaction. The IRS FAQ said that usually the donor generally responds for the taxes, but in this case, it may not be so and he would have to pay taxes on the money's worth of the miles he received.
You may need to clarify that. The fee you mentioned can be applied to Lyft only and under a condition as well...
For Lyft
Lyft charges drivers 50 cents per transaction when they choose to cash out instantly and only allows payments of at least $50.
For Uber
Uber is starting a pilot program on Thursday in San Francisco for its service, called Instant Pay. Drivers in the program sign up for a bank account with Green Dot Corp.'s GoBank, which usually costs $8.95 a month but is free if drivers make a deposit at least once every six months, the company said.
In fact on average a computer will have much better visibility to the full surroundings than a human driver could,...
I disagree with this part. Why? It has nothing to do with a computer, but it is depended on Sensors & how the information is converted in a form that a computer can understand. Computer vision is NOT the same as human vision by the way. And you over value on "on average" cases. Who cares for average cases because there is no significant damages and/or life hazard issues (trivia). The focus is all about extreme cases which lead to dangers and damages. So I'm not sure how you can compare a computer with human in this case..
I have to agree with GP on this. No one needs a source code to understand this but rather observe the behavior of the app in different situations (unless you have no programming concept). It is an algorithm. Uber set up an arbitrary number of requests within an area. If the request number goes up and passes the setup number, a surcharge is applied. There would be different level (e.g. multiplier) for request numbers.
If Uber intended to jack the price up because of the event, they would have to hire some people watching news on all places and adjust the ride price accordingly. Why would they need to pay extra to those people while they could simply quantify the requests within their program?
Anyway, if anyone doesn't know, Lyft have exactly the similar algorithm as well. And I believe all other share riding apps have the similar algorithm too.
I don't care for Uber, Lyft, or any share riding apps. I feel that their business model is ethically wrong. It is similar to a class action where the money actually goes to corporations and their drivers get something which is just enough to keep them going (or a bit more if they work very hard).
Socialism tinted glasses: "well I work as hard as X!! Why I no rich like them!!!"...
Its the same mentality as people wanting to give trophies to everyone for putting in the same amount of effort rather than giving trophies to the people that play the sport well and win points.
[Sarcasm]Yes, and should still give trophies to those who cheat along the way to win points (and referees either don't see or are bribed) because they are supposed to "play well" too![/Sarcasm]:p
I don't really like to use analogy of sports on life/economic events. Even though they are quite similar in a big picture, there are too many differences when you examine them a lot closer...
This isn't about feathers, though I will point out to you that there are clean-up crews all over the world. They clean up litter.
And yes, you can be punished for littering.
That's a consequence of your choice to act inappropriately.
And it is a continuous effort. Not an impossible one though. We keep picking up trash.
Don't you know how the world works?
You completely missed the point of analogy. The GP meant that once you let go feathers that way, it is impossible to gather them all back and put them into the pillow again. Similarly, the consequence of the incident has already surfaced, it is impossible to completely erase it from the world...
Despite the apparent acquiescence of neck-beards on Slashdot, having the ability to share personal information without sharing it with the entire world is something greatly desired by actual human beings. We're seeing a new phenomenon relative to the entirely of human existence -- it's not natural for people to adjust to. People want to share personal information with other human beings without sharing it with the rest of the world. Just because you send a sex video to a few friends (as ill-advised as that might sound), it does NOT mean you should face world-wide mockery by basement-dwellers.
So yes, this is a big problem. Brushing it off as "stupidity" is callous and ignorant.
I'm seeing you defending her all the way as if what she did should be forgiven and forgotten. I agree that it should be forgiven, but it does not mean her action could simply be forgotten because it is impossible (think reality). I believe that the fault lies on both herself and the world. It was her fault to send her sex tape, especially for whatever reason she did, to her ex. And it was the world fault to keep mocking her for her mistake (I didn't say it was her ex's fault because it was tit-for-tat). However, I believe that she handled the consequences wrong. In other words, she did not admit that the consequence stemmed off from her own fault but rather ran away from the problem -- ran away from where she lived, changed her name, and finally committed suicide. If she admitted the fault in the first place and did not expect that everyone would forgive/forget her, she would have accepted what happened and ignored the mockery. Then the mockery will subside by itself even though it could take a long time.
I hope that this incident would teach many others who usually want to do some things without thinking further in the future. It is a good lesson to those who are still living, and may be good for those who had done wrong. It is not easy to admit your own fault and has no expectation to be forgiven/forgotten, but once you can do it, it is the best way to handle this kind of consequences...
I don't think sound should be included in trademark. It has been in copyright category and should stay there. If they allow trademark for sound, they will open a can of worms that will result in many nasty consequences...
Sounds like someone read the comments on here where people are forever saying they just patented and you owe them money, and said "Hey! Good idea!"
I understand that you are talking about something related to intellectual properties (IPs) and make a joke about it, but I just want to clarify, "patent" != "trademark"
Their mistake was trying to trademark it in the EU. They should have done it here in the states; you can trademark just about anything here. Hell, there's a company that successfully claims ownership of the word "monster", a very common word that they claim trademark infringement on everything and anything from minigolf to movies.
Then you have no idea of differences between trademark, copyright, and patents... You can't trademark sound or lyric because they belong to copyright category. Also, protections are different too. If you really want to understand what they are, I suggested you to visit USPTO Trademark page, so that you wouldn't spread your misunderstanding/misinformation to others.
PS: yes, you can trademark the word "monster" but it has to be tied to certain conditions.
Up to 5 million dollars. Do you really think over half a million credit cards and their annual fees wont exceed 5 million all on it's own let alone overdraft fees.
You might get a couple cents out of it. I got a check for 8 cents from AT&T once from a class action I didn't even know its existence. Well, enjoy some "cents" coming your way.;)
Then why do nearly all SQL libraries enable injections?
IMHO, it is not their business to determine validity of injection queries. It is the responsibility of the query implementers to SANITIZE the query string to their intent of use. You could compare SQL libraries as tools. They are fine by themselves and would have no problem if being used properly. However, too many people can use them but don't really have the knowledge to use them properly; thus, this kind of problems occurs.
For undergraduate non resident students is somewhere between 35k-40k. It's actually cheaper for non-resident grad students at ucsb.
Hmm... I'm not sure that you are correct. If you are talking about "Graduate Academic" for UCSF and "Graduate program" fro UCSB, then it is not a good comparison. The UCSF program is for only 9 months and cost $17,310 for tuition (+$15,102 for non-resident); whereas, UCSB program is for 12 months and cost $12,294 (+$15,102 for non-resident).
I have gone to ITT in two different states, and I would say that the negative attitude towards the educational quality of the ITT brand is unfounded. ITT was a good school between 5 and 10 years ago so if there was funny business going on with the educational quality since I went there that is on them and does not reflect on it's alumni, however we have to deal with it. It is unfair but the students that worked hard will continue to work hard and will get other degrees regardless of how the negative press against ITT hurts them.
I think the GP said is for the majority of people who get education from ITT. You are the minority of those who could graduate and got into the market. However, what is the failure rate of those who went to ITT and graduated? If the majority fails over and over again, stereotype will show up.
And I agree with GP on "They [ITT] prey on people who probably really aren't the sort of people who are college material in the first place. College is great but it isn't the right path for everyone." This is not only for ITT though, most if not all for-profit schools are the same way...
