So who has more power and prestige in society: black men or white women? How about black women vs gay black men? Trying to rank demographics is what makes you a racist mother fucker and part of the problem. Yes, having white guys as the brunt of the jokes does a stereotype make, and it's sad. But it's not nearly as sad as trying to defend the stereotype because you feel achievement should be ridiculed. When we see past the stereotypes of who is being ridiculed, attacked, and disparaged is when racism will truely cease.
That's the point. With GoGoInFlight, everyone is taking their valuable iPads and laptops into the cabin, reducing the poor baggage handlers and TSA agents opportunity to help themselves to it.
It's pretty sad, kind of like watching polar bears struggle to catch seals on shrinking ice platforms. Think of this law as the Paris Accord for TSA agents... poor little guys.
Google is a privately operated website, with privately operated storefronts. How can a law mandate that a website have content it doesn't want to? Should CDW show prices and wares from PCConnection next? Please....
They do, but the networks can't always trace these calls. This law would force the telex companies to implement tech to find out where calls were coming from. I think this is a cat and mouse problem though. All you need is someone's SIP credentials and a trustworthy VPN.
Horseshit again. Let me elaborate: google left china because it wouldn't sensor its search results to Chinese censorship laws anymore, effectively allowing the stratospheric rise of Baidu. Your assumption that corporations are ONlY profit driven is wrong. In fact, it is a law that corporations MUST BE profit driven, otherwise shareholders have right to sue the management. Shareholders who take control of a company by purchasing a majority share have a Shareholder Fiduciary Duty to the minority shareholders as well. So there you go: the very laws you advocate push corporations to be solely profit driven, even though most of them are driven by other goals, like SpaceX, Google, and many, many others.
Corporations have humans and therefore should have rights. Just like countries have humans and should have rights. Just because the humans group together and colllectively cooperate doesn't deviod them of anything.
Corporations absolutely have skin in the game, and "nationalize" by incorporating in various countries. Corporations have profited by war, so yes, but much more has been destroyed than created. I picked your argument apart, including that corporations should have rights "because they aren't people", as if it's the steel and concrete making the choices and not people.
No sir. Your argument is that corporations shouldn't have rights because they dont have any values is utterly horseshit. Hobby Lobby is a giant corporation with a strong connection to evangelical causes and beliefs. I don't agree with them, but it's a clear example of corporations standing by principles other than profit.
I must dissagree with you - and state categorically that whether the laws are good or not is not a relevant consideration,
Yes it is. Remember Rosa Parks? Remember the American war for Independance? Those were against the laws of the time. Sometimes bad laws make it through because not all govornments are ruled through democratic or republic means, and can become corrupt, and act against the best interests of the govorned.
The single greatest risk to peace, freedom, democracy and human life in the world today is corporations flagrantly ignoring the rule of law.
Really? Not backwards religious ideologies who decapitate and murder now probably close to a million people in the northern mid-east and Africa? Not Russia backing despots who chemically attack their own citizenry who disagree with their governance? Not the dictator who launches ICBMs in preparation for mounting a warhead on it? Seriously? You think Facebook taking pictures on and off its own site is " single greatest risk to peace, freedom, democracy and human life in the world"?
If the people of those countries feel those laws are bad, they can - through the democratic process - try to change the law. If Facebook believes those laws are bad - it can try to encourage people to use the democratic process to change the law.
Ah but not all countries are democratic, and not all protest can be done lawfully, especially when those forms of protest themselves are banned. See my comments above.
But it sure as hell should not get to flaunt a law, that is on the books, while it is on the books.
Sure it should. It's a powerful corporation with an army of lawyers and tons of outreach. If anyone should be standing up for the little guy against their oppressive govornments who try to write mind-control (which is what barring holocaust denying is) into law, it should be powerful organizations like Facebook though its audience and reach.
There is no situation where we should allow corporations to get away with a policy of "we'll ignore the law unless we can't get away with it".
Every one of the weed growing businesses, even for medical use is illegal under federal law, even though their state govornments deems them legal. They help millions of sufferers of chronic illness lead a life slightly less painful. You see it's not as simple and cut and dry as it seems. Govornments, like organizations are run by people, and there are some situations where they do good, and some where they don't. Ultimately we have to use our critical thinking skills, rather than make carte-blanche statements like that. They don't always apply and sometimes we don't want them to.
Yes, in a democracy there is a place for civil disobedience and sometimes that's crucial form of protest against bad laws. But that privilege belongs ONLY to real citizens, not funny made up ones like corporations - and ESPECIALLY not when those funny made up beings aren't EVEN citizens of the country but foreigners just doing business there.
Facebook has corporations established in most if not all countries they do business in, which helps them have local customers and such. Either way, corporations are just groups of people too, and there's nothing inherently wrong with that. So is govornment. Get off your high horse. There are evil people, corporations, and govornments. All are "REAL".
I think banning alcohol is an evil law - but I sure as hell will refrain from drinking in Saudi Arabia. I, as a foreigner, cannot claim to be engaging in civil disobedience when I break the law in a country where I am a visitor - even if I'm there on business.
So just to be clear, you are against the companies (both foreign and domestically headquartered) that violated segregation laws in the US and apartheid laws in South Africa? Got it.
Exactly. Automating trucking (and other transportation) would be a huge boon to our economy, not a drag on it. Suppose for a moment that in one day, every truck was capable of moving itself around automatically, sans person. What do you think will happen to the cost of shipping goods? What will happen to the volume of goods moved? What does that do to the volume produced / consumed? There may be 3,000,000 truckers, but there are 300,000,000 consumers, and everyone of them benefits.
These stories are very one sided and usually portray the losing side. Just like crying for the buggy whip manufacturers when buggies got petrol-powered engines.
Food will cost less. More people can therefore afford to eat. This is a good thing.
Horseshit. This isn't about behaviour or politeness. This is about language. Specifically, English; which is an evolving language and has been since it separated from the Latin language. Go read the Declaration of Independence. There are missspellings there, if what you consider correct is what we have today -only-. The further on back you read, the harder it gets, 'cause the language evolved since then, and it will continue to evolve from now. And horseshit articles on the NYT isnt going to change that. The main point of a language is getting your thoughts across with the minimal amount of effort necessary for the listener to comprehend your ideas, meaning, and intent. If we can do so more efficiently, then awesome. If the professors didn't get what the students meant, ask them to rephrase themselves.
No. The update process was manageable. Maybe not for most home users, but certainly for the British NHS. Certainly they should have blocked SMB shares from the internet.
But this isn't a zero-day. "Microsoft issued a patch for this vulnerability last March, but there are already 36,000 Wana Decrypt0r victims all over the globe, due to the fact they failed to install it."
Blame lax IT policies and ineffective management for leaving exposed machines to the internet unmatched. Of course your going to get hosed. Most know to put a firewall, enable the machine's firewall, or air-gap their systems.
Their relevancy is being able to select which movies are seen by distribution companies and high-powered executives. With online distribution, just about any decent film maker can offer their movies to Netflix and bypass Cannes altogether. I don't know, but I'd bet movies that are independent pay or reward the CFF if their movie gets picked up, so the CFF is just protecting their market.
OTA is terrible, so does Cable. Channels? Ad breaks? Not gonna fly. I won't use a service that doesn't offer an ad-free experience. Happy to pay for it, but I won't be forced to watch ads. I think this is a very good thing. I want to watch what I want when I want it. You shot the whole season, why make me wait to watch it? There's no benefit anymore. I'm willing to pay for access. Some weeks I don't watch anything, because.... life! Other down weeks I'll binge watch GoT. I love the flexibility, and since the cable providers don't provide any and are ludicrously expensive, they are going to lose, of course. But it's a good thing. Business models will come in and fix what they refused to today.
This happened to a client, they received a truckload of documents. We paid an outsourcing company a couple grand to scan them into an OCR program and used text search to find the proverbial nails for their coffin. With the newest bad-ass document solutions from big printer manufacturers. This isn't really that much of an issue anymore. Just drop a thousand sheets into the loader and press the button. A few days with a few temps, and you have your digital versions.
Employer here. If my employees tell me in advance (and a few of them have), that they need to respond to a personal project when coding for me if there is a critical issue when on the clock, then I have no problem with it, provided they "clock out" during that time, and it doesn't severely impact the work they provide me, and my requirements are not urgent (like a pressing bug). I think having open and honest conversation is the best way for me and personally I think it helps me retain ambitious and entrepreneurial talent, but I'm a small time employer, and I imagine large HR departments can be PITAs and unaccomodating.
This is such a stupid article. Seems to incite flame, but it's like stating: Rolex builds stores in affluent shopping centers only, study finds.
So? Gigabit internet costs more than DSL, and it costs more to build out. So if they go to where there are a high number of subscribers who can likely afford it, they are more likely to recoup the buildout investment, and the service then won't die off. Otherwise the headline would read: AT&T kills off GPON service due to low subscriber rates.
The rich get the product first, lowering the N'th's cost and so by making it more affordable for the products to be moved down market. Everyone knows this.
It is a poorly written summary, and not quite accurate, but it does speak to a level of business automation and processing that is becoming cheap and ubiquitous. We made a simple center of gravity algorithm that calculates where a CPG company should place its next distribution center based on current orders, in order to reduce freight costs. Not very hard. But add in a population map, and look at where our market penetration was not up to par with the rest of the country, and you could suddenly model the effect of the distribution plant on sales growth (as transport was a leading factor in cost of this particular good), and suddenly, you were giving business a crystal ball. This sort of AI is not hard if you know how to code, and can access the relevant data, but it's getting much more prevalent.
Besides, BK is exercising its first amendment right. The broadcasters probably have some clauses in their agreements too. This is a stupid idea. Just cause you don't like something someone is doing, doesn't mean you get a law to exercise your frustration.
No country pays taxes like the United States. Our govornment prints a trillion dollars a year. It devalues the dollars we already have, and is an invisiible tax we all pay, the rich: more. No other nation has the currency of the world, and prints it like it's going out of style. The inflation is a tax. The govornment devalues our dollars, and spend them.
Did it occur to you that maybe if a repair shop can intercede with the authentication mechanism, so can govt. spooks (think Chinese Govt vs. Political Activists) as well as hackers after your apple pay info, or other sensitive data stored in your keychain? The independant repair industry for a $1000 product that has a practical life beyond the warranty period of just a year or two, for just a few specific parts is far, far, FAR less important that data security and protection from absolutely everyone. So while most people will not think twice about it and say "Fuck Apple.". No. Fuck you. Go buy an Android any ass-hat can repair then. I prefer my iPhone to be as secure as they can practically make it, while keeping it relatively functional.
That's what I meant, using the CUDA GPU for Open-CL or GPGPU type applications. In this case you need the second GPU so the system doesn't hold the GPU, freeing it up for the hypervisor.
You can absolutely run it if a VM is an accepted solution. The things you have to do: 1. Use a processor that supports virtualization 2. Have a second GPU for the host (in a server, usually the Melanox GPU). 3. Use a hypervisor that can pass through PCI ports and pass in the nVidia Cuda enabled GPU (like an nVidia Tesla M60 card) 4. Run your application in the VM
The real question is: why does the underlying system have to be Linux? Do you want to Hypervise it for HA? Without knowing the why's behind your request, it's hard to say whether you can or not. Is it absolutely possible? Yes. Is it the best approach? Maybe. Is it the most efficient approach for your high-spec'd application? Probably not.

That's what I meant, using the CUDA GPU for Open-CL or GPGPU type applications. In this case you need the second GPU so the system doesn't hold the GPU, freeing it up for the hypervisor.
I don't think a good hypervisor gives you the same drawback. You should get near-real performance on pass through devices now.
You can absolutely run it if a VM is an accepted solution. The things you have to do:
1. Use a processor that supports virtualization
2. Have a second GPU for the host (in a server, usually the Melanox GPU).
3. Use a hypervisor that can pass through PCI ports and pass in the nVidia Cuda enabled GPU (like an nVidia Tesla M60 card)
