    its both communist and socialist.. wtf mark lets see you give away 95% of your Facebook stock.. get yourself down to the median income of about $54k a year .. then start telling everyone that they should pay for that woman on welfare that started taking it when she was 16 and emancipated from her parents because she was having her third child.. sorry mark.. but HERE IS A REAL IDEA.. since you depend so much on technology how about you start a hardware company in the USA that employs the 64+ million people now on assistance.. just pay them $25 an hour to build android phones or solar panels or some other job that children in china do... if children in china can make iPhones there is no reason a unemployed 26 year old american with a masters in electrical engineering can't make android phones ... DO THAT WITH ALL YOUR MONEY.. MAYBE.. MAYBE... MAYBE IT WILL MAKE YOU MORE MONEY... and it will help unemployed Americans...

    There is no good way to look at this. The scale of computing needed to process future needs requires ever faster cpus if the ability to increase by a factor has found its limits then progress as humanity will slow. Surely we can do more with what we have but its like the problem of oil being a finite resource what will happen when there isn't any and we still need it for production of chemicals other than combustion engines such as plastics, adhesives and lubricants.. you can run an engine on corn alcohol but if there is no oil to lubricate it then what... you can lay out computational problems but without the tools to test and solve them the answer does not come... or is delayed past the point of usefulness.

  5. It is interesting but I would guess as they say there are many things that effect your body clock.. but reading this am I expected to believe that people that travel to the other side of the world are still eating dinner in the middle of the night? or that people from california in NYC were having dinner at 9pm local NYC to match their 6pm in CA..and that changing your meals to 6pm local? I think you automatically change your meals to match the clock and you don't extend or contract that time based on where you were previously.. also the study statement says nothing about which direction you should move your meal times to combat lag.. should you eat earlier than normal say 4pm .. not sure this study was worth the money spent on it

    probably the easiest free email provider out there is Gmail if you have android you have to get an account for your device so you might as well just use Gmail which also allows for pop and smtp. I would however start thinking about your use of email. you shouldn't let 15 years of mail on a server that is just stupid whether you own the server or use a free service. There is just too much shit in there that people can access. Download your email to a computer and back it up to an external drive. If you need to keep something on their server do it in a folder you make and don't keep anything really sensitive on there.... remember if someone gains access to your email they don't just have access to the content of the mail they can also send password resets on other accounts they see you have.

    Remember in the election there were a number of black churches that were burned and spray panted with TRUMP and it turned out it was members of the church that did it. Now those people are in jail but it goes to show what can happen. If you want a lot of attention what do you do.. you pump a lot of fake posts into that requests for responses and then it gets News Time. No one is going to be talking about this unless there is a Scandal Attached to it.. maybe that is unfortunate. However playing Dirty will eventually track back to someone with less than honest motives. It is not going to end up being Comcast or Verizon executives that did this. Everyone with a brain knows that.

  9. C is dead.. maybe because people use their phones on The Working Dead: Which IT Jobs Are Bound For Extinction? (infoworld.com) · · Score: 0

    When you see Intel make announcements that they are putting off new desktop CPUs in favor of Phone CPUs you begin to understand that across the world and in developing countries the sales of phones as a primary computing device is hurting actual computer use. Homes don't have landlines and they don't have computers as much anymore.. They have phones and game consoles and we have gone backwards. Its sad but there is going to be a big separation in society. Those that have desktops and those that use phones and phones mean Java and Python .. but the backend to these things are still going to be C and PHP. if PHP went away so would 90% of the internet.. if C went away so would 90% of backends and also many software applications that are used to make the stuff people view from their phones. But in the overall are phones bad? no Probably not because they give people with lower incomes and no real computing skills access to the Internet which in turn means society as a whole moves up a notch. People that couldn't manage a windows or linux desktop can still access facebook and news sites and buy stuff on amazon.. It really comes down to... who is making the world .. and who is using what they make.. If you are a maker you still need skills.. if you are ranting on facebook or twitter you just need a phone.

    These schools normally are not very good... you can learn more online free than you can at these schools and save yourself thousands of dollars... I don't think either the GI Bill or Student Loans should cover them .. as an example ITT Educational Services going bankrupt and most of their students not finding jobs. When I was learning to code Microsoft had free seminars at their offices.. you go in .. get a danish .. sit through the class and get a free class.. Hands on too like SQL Server Setup and other things free.. another way is to go to Computer Groups on College Campuses .. I would hit a couple of them on the weekends in Philly and they all had great seminars that were free.. ... And then you have the entire internet.. lots of free stuff out there to learn.. more than anyone could ever use.. and its all free and its probably the best stuff to learn from like MySql's website and many others.
