The added cost and complexity would result in a pricey oven that only serious/professional cooks could justify; the same group who would probably raise their little French noses at such a contraption.
Also, cooking is an art. no Rube Goldberg oven is going to allow people like me to make anything more than digiorno pizza.
The Linked article doesn't even mention voice or call quality. (Or are these features so well 'nailed' by now, they're taken as a given?)
However, the article might have, but I'm not clicking through more than 1 page of fucking advertisements. (yes, there is a 'print' view, but it's still bullshit to break things into multiple pages just for ad revenue.)
Hrm, late stage Alzheimers requiring 24/7 monitoring in a residential facility... how on earth is that cheaper than diabetes?
Though for what it's worth, I was using it as example. A disease that kills while relatively young, even if caused through the patients behavior could potentially be cheaper than someone living a long 'healthy' life, before succumbing to a age related illness. I don't have the numbers or experience first hand, but intuitively it makes sense.
Diabetics (and smokers) also have shorter lifespans. So sure, the 10 or so years of ill health at the end of their lives do cost some money, but nothing compared to the 30+ years of declining health and constant illness that the elderly face.
It's unpleasant, but compare the costs of diabetes (insulin, chopping off a foot, heart attack, maybe a pump?) to Alzheimer's.
Yar, but compared to other professions (law, medicine, engineering) IT is one of the few that you can be reasonably successful at without having a degree in the field. A CS degree isn't bad, but it certainly isn't necessary.
Crazy, would have guessed that German would be the least tendency towards happy words. Imagine them as a very serious, dour people. (who get shit done, unlike the Spanish or Portuguese.)
By your logic the Irish would be "British" too since since they are residents of the British Isles.
American in most contexts refers to the USA. Argentinians are as you said, Argentinian. Both the New Yorker and the Argentinian live in the Americas, but one is Argentinian and one is American.
If you're referring to the continents, you'd say "Americas"
well according to the bullshit and ever changing definition of 'racism' and 'minority' Asians aren't always considered a minority. Since compared to whites they have higher average incomes, lower incarceration rates, and better educational attainment.
If there has ever been a field that is democratic it's technology. Up until (and it's probably still the case) all you need is a computer (price is constantly decreasing), internet access (still decreasing in price), and possibly a book or two(still cheap), and some ambition (free).
There are no guilds, no real degree requirements, and certification is optional at best. The only limit is a desire to learn. Instead of wondering why these companies aren't hiring more of $race or $gender, how about asking why these people are not interested in picking up skills that are by and large, available via autodidaction.
I think it's rather novel that Google is figuring out how to *sell* tracking bracelets.
Previously the government, and of all its marketing prowess -- had to actually convict people of a crime in order to drive sales, let alone get people to wear them after the 'newness' factor wore off.
Was the key change to make them in a wristwatch format vs ankle bracelet? I suppose that's why they get the big bucks eh?
Oh but they will; they may not advertise it, or do it to the same extent as Google, or even put a shiny spin on it.. but they will track you, and will sell that data -- eventually.
With shareholders completely focused on short term profits what do you think will happen when the idevice market truly becomes saturated? Ethics and morality are not represented on the balance sheet, and untapped revenue streams will not be tolerated.
Besides, look at the Apple user base, they are probably a much more sought after demographic in terms of peer influence and disposable income. Think Costco vs Sam's Club.
Trusting any company to not retroactively change their labyrinthine TOS and abide by any kind of personal privacy standards is silly.
Though, i think he was saying that due to the nuclear reactor on board the ship, they could stay at sea basically indefinitely (or until their crew runs out of food), and also that the nuclear reactor would provide the heat needed for the plastics conversion.
Or conversely: "Scientist discovers how to serve 8.5 million data points a day with a 386 SX-25 computer using this one weird trick. Hardware vendors hate her"
So how much oil does the US get from the middle east these days? I was under the impression that most of it was now coming from Venezuela, Mexico, and Canada. (and apparently now internally)

Lost it at '..and it will take the law to curb their ceaseless "pushing the envelope"'.
When you are Google, you get to write your own laws.
When your democracy revolves around voting with dollars, how could anything besides this outcome have been expected?
or one phone user winds up in jail after trying to take a picture of a plane on approach.

Whatever it takes to get kids to stop wearing those god damn bulbous studio style headphones while out and about (beats typically.).
They are this generations version of the jnco jeans.
Seriously, does an ipod/iphone/whatever portable device even have the output for speakers that size?

Hi gnick, this is your boss. Step into my office please.
Did you just quote The Sneaker Pimps? very impressive if so.
It would be nice to take a week or two off of work and spend the summer there.
I think you've played too much Civilization or similar games. Real life does not have a tech tree with resource allocation sliders.

interesting choice of shitty reality TV show to name check. :)

So kudos to Google, real men of genius.

Ah, thought Toyota had their main NA plant in TN. Should have have checked up on that eh? :)
Hey, what's your Tumblr user name?
