The question was not "do people enjoy having entertainment in front of their eyeballs 24/7?". It was, and this is important, could you really say you are alive, without a smart device giving you the information to which you have been accustomed?
I get lots of information via phone, if it were cut off against my will, I would not be "alive". It's like cutting out your own eyeballs. Do you really want to live that way? Most people don't. Some people actually really want to.
People ask surgeons to cut off body parts all of the time. It's rare, but it's probably happening now. Those people are noise in the statistics.
Intentionally misunderstanding the question is not an option. Could I live without the scientific understanding of bacteria or virii? Sure. Could I live without a generalized scientific understanding, outside of my experience, about bacteria and virii? No.
Silicon Valley tech elites could bankroll a sizeable pilot, assuming it's successful, that could become permanent. If they wanted to. Take any proposed pilot area and fund an expansion.
It otherwise won't get funded because Republicans hate doing things that help other people.
If you're gonna argue that point, read some research on conservatives, fear, and empathy.
Fountainhead is a lot better than people might think, based on the hate for Atlas Shrugged. In the world Ayn created, I side with her. Not necessarily in this world.
No one in this thread said otherwise, but you trotted out a tired aphorism and got yourself +5. There are responses where this may have been more appropriate and actually would have added value. You're not helping.
"Really if you want the true vision that foreshadowed this have a look at the reading tablets and terminals of Kubrick's 2001"
See, that's a problem. Kubrick's 2001 is NOT THE SAME as Clark's 2001. You want a 10 year leap forward in cinema, cite Kubrick. You want a multi decade leap in tech, cite Clark.
Yes there were Kubrick bits added in there, but the source and inspiration was all Clark. The author of the book.
dryriver, for the record, for a single word you want to include in "quotes" some people say "quote-unquote" meaning "begin quote then end immediately".
It is best in a reading medium to use actual quotation marks, and elsewhere use it not at all, or sparingly if you hate people and want them to hate you equally.
I'm thinking now of a movie with Katharine Hepburn and Mae West which likely does not exist, and should very much.
It seems counterintuitive only if you misunderstood the idea. It makes you temporarily worse on the basis of speed. By any other metric, you get better.
I'm registering my disdain for ignorant horseshit like this. We should not be reading headlines that are not supported by the article content, and we should not be reading garbage that misrepresents reality.
Step one: implement a truer free market by reducing barriers to employees switching jobs 1a) untether health insurance from the employer by granting universal coverage, with the current premiums going to fund national healthcare instead of for-profit companies increasing the cost of coverage 1b) increase social welfare so employees working for abusive employers feel comfortable quitting, and not fearful for starving their families
Step two: Encourage business to return to passing on profits to the employees who make the profits happen 2a) Increase taxes on corporate profits 2b) Cap executive salaries and bonuses based on a multiplier of the lowest 10% of employee salaries 2c) Tie minimum wage to employee productivity so that gains are shared by the employees that generate that productivity
Step three: Create an environment where people can get a better job 3a) Eliminate for profit higher education providers who cannot show comparable results to a state backed university 3b) Provide curriculum to all students based on science and fact, and not religion 3c) Require school board members to have degrees in education and years of actual teaching, along with an equal representation of fields e.g. if comp sci is offered, the school board must have a member in that field
Sci fi authors quit writing and become news anchors. Only every story ends with "and we warned you about this but noooo you went ahead and did it anyway."
And little benefit. These things take time to resolve, Amazon is not going to jump in mud day and make promises. So customers wait an additional day and management makes a note to address concerns in a statement.
Reminder, this hurts Amazon in no real way. Computers are still taking orders and processing payments. They may not lose any sales. You have to be prepared to strike for a meaningful time to force action.
Customers may not notice, as these days are heavy package traffic, a delay of 1 or 2 days may seem normal. Getting people to consider the employees before they click is the only real benefit here, with the free publicity. The impact will be minimal.
Talk to management about how getting interrupted makes projects take longer. You will find that is true. Then get a prioritization system in place. And set a maximum of 2 active projects, no more interruptions till one of them is complete.
Her father was failing against Hilary using non gov email for MONTHS. Ivanka's defense was no one told her it was illegal. That's a very different situation.
FOSS is staying cautiously away, as this WSL thing is relatively new. Soon enough someone will decide they want to script the install, and then share it. And the project is born.
Neck, why haven't you started it if you think it's that important?
This particular product simplifies the installation and setup. You're paying for convenience. With cloud services using Windows and Linux boxes, having both available as dev environments without having to dual boot is nice, and an installer that does most everything for you is nice.
I plan to install my own choice of distro, but many people don't be comfortable doing that. And yes that means they probably should not be doing cross platform development.
"Anyone can make a website" is horseshit. To get anywhere near a tenth of Facebook's user base, you need piles of hardware and a team of administrators. Electricity costs mean a pile of money.
You simply can't compete when everyone is using it. People use FB because people they know use it. There was nothing like it at the time. Now you have to have something compelling to make people switch. There's big money for anyone who succeeds. Has anyone even come close to succeeding?

Your conspiracy bullshit falls apart when you realize it was not an optimization just for YouTube.
Finally! I can give Google my personal information without having to give those bastards my email address.
No one in this thread said otherwise, but you trotted out a tired aphorism and got yourself +5. There are responses where this may have been more appropriate and actually would have added value. You're not helping.
For the record fuck them both.
Also, if you can't get a raise and can't get a better paying job, you may be mistaking your worth. I've worked with those people.

No.
Unless you submit a bug report to do so, which will be closed as not enough information, so still no.
I bet you were proud of this comment. Stop it. You're not helping.

Does it change the discussion if the student isn't trying but still gets straight As?
No. The patch that lets you copy a registry path, a basic setting in Windows, which is a system upgrade, fails to install on my pc.
If you get it to the point of fucking up your data, you are further along than am I.
You bolded billion to emphasize it, but you forgot that half a billion is just as far away from a full billion as it is from zero.
500 million is still a lot, and it serves the purpose of informing. You object minimizing the sum, but attempt to exaggerate it. Not productive.

I'll stop there for now.

That's a far better solution.

If they host a lot of the content, they know what you're looking at. Now they know.. what you're looking at. Problem is what?
