Cisco just announced its quarterly earnings and is taking a $700 million provision to cover these layoffs (severance and other one-time termination benefits)
That's not my experience, and not only did I work on contract for several years, my wife works on contract, and several of my friends work on contract (all in technology). I've also hired and used contractors on many projects. In none of these cases were benefits provided. That's typically one of the advantages of using contractors (easy to hire, easy to let go, but you pay a premium for that flexibility)
As well Cisco just released its quarterly earnings and is taking a $700 million provision to cover these layoffs (severance and other one-time termination benefits)
The article refers to employees not contractors. Contractors don't get severance or benefits (and are generally compensated better), but employees most definitely do (particularly at companies like Cisco)
They has to expose the mice to a 20 year equivalent of radiation to see the effect, how does that confirm the results? 1 of the 7 astronauts also died in a motorcycle accident, does that mean deep space radiation increases your chance of being killed on a motorcycle by several orders of magnitude?
The Tesla auto-pilot does exactly that. I don't know if the timer is 10-seconds, but the vehicle will begin to slow, and eventually stop if hands are removed from the wheel for a period of time
You don't need to retire. You could move to Vegas today, get a job making the same money, and buy a nice house with the same money you're currently plowing into rent. I don't get this whole mindset of "all the great things I'll do when I'm retired" while ignoring that you could be doing them right now.
Tesla explains the limitations of the system when you buy the car, the car explains it to you again when you activate the feature (requiring you to accept that you understand), tells you again when you turn it on to drive somewhere, and reminds you yet again if you take your hands off the wheel. If some moron can't understand that, what would is a 100 hours of training going to accomplish. Maybe they should put shockers in the seat for additional reinforcement
So you wouldn't move to Southern Florida since you're concerned it might be under water by the end of the century, but you're not concerned about a major earthquake in the Bay Area over the same 85 year period. If your intent is to move to Vegas one day, what's stopping you from doing it today?
And California will have slid into the ocean after the Big One. Seems like asinine stubbornness to ignore opportunities in places where you weren't born. What do you plan to do with your savings? Retire to an old folks home in the same neighborhood?
Yes, because we've seen what all those responsible gun owners have done to support all of the other amendments of the constitution. We've seen recent laws piss all over the 1st, and 4th-8th amendments, yet I havn't heard of the armed insurrection that "The People" have launched "to hold the government accountable". Just a lot of frothing around any attempt to even have any kind of discussion about what can be done about the epidemic of gun violence in the US. Of course these same frothing folks are more than willing to talk about gutting other amendments because "terrorism"
My god, can you tell us who wins the election in November? Did Hillary take everyone's guns, or did Trump start WW3 when Putin suggested he had small hands. I need to know if I should start stocking up supplies of canned food and ammo (BTW the IPhone 5 only came out 3.5 years ago)
A number of companies offer kits to add Bluetooth to your stock head units. We added Bluetooth, hands free phone and audio streaming to our 2007 Honda Odyssey with no impact to the head unit or steering wheel controls. The only change was a button I had to add to the dash (to answer calls, or initiate voice dialing) and a microphone above the driver side a-frame for hands free calls. Cost me ~$100
Some people pirate due to availability and antiquated regional licensing models. There are several shows me and my wife watch that I cannot obtain in any legal manner in Canada. I would happily pay the rights holder for their content, but they have offered no legal manner for us to do so. So torrent it is
You don't get it, the 2nd amendment is sacrosanct. If you mention something as simple as putting background checks checks in place, or maybe not giving automatic rifles the the mentally ill , the NRA response is "burn him, burn him". On the other hand the 1st amendment and 4th through 8th can go right into the shredder because "terrorism"
You shouldn't be caught unaware by anything approaching from behind, that's why you have a rear view mirror. When changing lanes, you're also supposed to shoulder check to see if anything is coming up behind you. Now while I agree a two lane bus, spanning a three lane road is unlikely to be practical (you would want it to span the entire roadway, and on/off ramps will pose an issue), lets not come up with knee jerk objections to things we do every day when we drive normally (e.g. a bus driving over you and blocking out the sun, isn't going to make you loose control, any more than driving under a bridge does)
I generally don't adjust with my sunglasses every time I go trough a tunnel or drive under a bridge. My car also has something called a rear view mirror

Except for severance payments to laid off workers. For 20,000 people that can easily run into the hundreds of millions of dollars
Ahh, so Cadillac's can exceed the speed of sound without the use of afterburners

You forget, only the 2nd amendment is sacrosanct.

At least it's better than a 200 story black pyramid
That is until you get promoted to Admiral in Starfleet. Then you get the concentrated crazy pills

Or that more intelligent people are less likely to admit they pirate content :)

DNA, genetics, human genome project, CRISP, yup no fundamental discoveries at all

Yes, I know how I have horrible car accidents every time I drive under an overpass or into a tunnel
