Computers react mich faster than human drivers, so what's your point? I get it, you want job security, but I ain't ever seen a machine fall asleep at the wheel.
Those things with 18 wheels also reach a lot of places that aren't practical for a train. This is quite similar to why your circulatory system has both capillaries and arteries.
If its any solace, I think it's a bit humbling. I don't know why, but I was thinking about this guy earlier today (I didn't know he passed,) and how we was so passionate about the series, and indeed it was a good series to be passionate about. Sad to see him die, but he got to live his passion pretty much, and no bad cause of death can take that away.
That's rich. You call people racist while you frequently make bigoted statements and want a ban on anonymous political speech. You're such a manipulative asshole.
Well, in all of this, I did learn a new word: Vorarephilia.
At some point, you have to wonder: How on earth do people come up with these different philias? Some things you can kind of understand at some level, like necrophilia and zoophilia because the requisite body parts are at least present in some form...but how the hell do you get sexual satisfaction out of swallowing somebody whole?
BUT -- The first GMO animal to be sold into the human food chain is salmon, so buyer beware.
Why buyer beware? Every single time somebody tries to challenge GMO, it has always been empirically proven to not only be safe, but beneficial both in terms of environment and nutrition. Anything claiming the contrary has always been proven to be junk science.
It's on the market *now*, and it's a genetic cross between a sockeye salmon and a Brazilian jumbo tapeworm larvae. Disgusting, right??
That's a load of shit. The whole idea of "frankenfood" is a myth. Sure, in some lab experiments moving genes between species is done to understand what given genes do, but nobody actually serves food that way. Instead what's used is proteomics to construct specific mutations.
And what, you gurgled that for us here because there is no such creature as a surviving Vegan, I guess?
While you can certainly survive as a vegan, it's really not ideal. Animal protein carries 100% of essential aminos and a number of essential micronutrients, and in order to replace them you have to go out of your way with different food sources that are otherwise (without modern technology) mutually out of reach of any given geographic area.
Furthermore, the diet has to be micromanaged in order to work, similar to a diabetes diet or a renal diet.
Can that be absolutely confirmed? Probably not, but it's by far more credible than an obviously fake memo, and there's no actual credible evidence in support of the Rather narrative.
Furthermore, it doesn't seem likely that Bush would be depressed given his statements about how easy it is being president at the end of his second term.
And the guy who originally reported about Bush trashing the Constitution was well known, even at the time, to write stories that were faked.
Honestly if you believe any of this crap, you're part of the reason fake news persists.
Point two is exactly why OEMs have a "meh" attitude towards windows these days. It used to be that they could create their own product with its own bundled (or not) services.
In other words, their product has to be basically identical to their competitors. That's also why windows phone failed where Android wins. Microsofties call it fragmentation and then talk about how bad it is, and then wonder why nobody gives a shit about their phones or tablets.
That may be the case, but IMO this shouldn't be admissible in court. In my opinion, it should be legally treated the same as one's own testimony, and law enforcement can't compel you to turn over any information contained in it. I think a similar doctrine should apply to any kind of "truth serum" drugs or any possible future technology that could directly read thoughts or memories from your brain.
The only exception should be if you're dead and a post-mortem investigation is needed.
But consider it in the context of the average Chromebook user, they aren't going to be side loading 3rd party app store programs and they certainly aren't going to be installing a custom ChromeOS build if Google were to decide to halt side loading in the official version.
That's a totally moot point; the author was arguing that the only way Microsoft could match Chrome OS is to block the ability for third party stores to work because they can't work in Chrome OS either, but that whole premise is false to begin with. If somebody like Steam wanted to create a third party app store on Chrome OS, they very well could. However Microsoft does have a precedent of creating an OS (see Windows RT) where third party stores are just flat out impossible.
Furthermore, even if it wasn't moot, third party stores on Android are quite prevalent, and some of them (i.e. Amazon) make decent money doing it.
Even if Microsoft allows Win32 apps to be installed on Windows XP, they can revoke that ability via an update at any time and there's nothing anybody can do about it.
Are you high? If you revoked the ability of XP to run win32 applications, then what exactly would it even be able to run? There's no such thing as UWP for XP. Same is true of 7.
Furthermore, UWP was designed from the ground up for sideloading to be impossible and then only enabled after an update because nobody wanted to touch it so they're hoping that they can get at least some interest besides the zero interest it currently has.
Except that Android is in practice as locked down as Windows is since nearly all apps require Google services and you can't re-compile Android with Google services including the store.
That doesn't seem to stop Amazon from running its own app store or distributing its own non-Google fork of Android.
TFA is either biased or uninformed though; ChromeOS supports side loading and is open source, so there really isn't any reason why third party app stores couldn't be used.
Sweeney may be correct in that even if Microsoft allows side loading, they can revoke it at any time and there's nothing anybody can do about it.
And yes, this likewise would be more comparable to the Apple model. Arstechnica seems to routinely be biased against Google though, so it would make sense if they just wanted to pick on ChromeOS.
Not only is it true, but you'd have to be living under a rock to not remember that. It was called memogate, and CBS's lead anchor for 30 years, Dan Rather, got fired over it because he kept insisting that it was authentic on the air even though CBS's own document examiners were essentially calling BS.
There were similar other attempts at pushing fake news to try to derail that election, including a false accusation of Bush supposedly trash talking the Constitution (that one landed on slashdot by the way, IIRC posted by the king of dramatic liberal headlines at the time, Kdawson) and reports of Bush supposedly being on heavy antidepressants.
Pretty much every election this shit happens. And to be honest, between this and "the election was hacked!" rhetoric, Hillary supporters are by far more annoying than I thought Trump supporters were.
That was her election to lose, and she fucking did it anyways. Besides, I don't think anybody actually wanted her to win, they just hated Trump's rhetoric more than Hillary's.
And do you have any proof that walmart pays less to their floor workers than those local stores ever paid? Oh that's right, you don't, because it's just not true:
Contrary to widespread belief, big-box stores and chains have increased wages in the retail sector as they have spread, according to “Do Large Modern Retailers Pay Premium Wages?” (NBER Working Paper No. 20313). Retail wages rise markedly with the size of the chain and the individual store, according to the study by Brianna Cardiff-Hicks, Francine Lafontaine and Kathryn Shaw. As retail chains’ share of establishments has risen from one-fifth in 1963 to more than one-third by 2000, the number of jobs that pay better than traditional mom-and-pop stores has proliferated.
Speak of low skilled, you might try getting an education yourself before spewing that tired old urban myth tripe. Or better yet, at least try to examine all of the urban myths you hear with a critical eye rather than just accepting them as blind fact just because it's the cool thing to do, and do a little more research.
And extra douchey on your part to insult those people doing the hard labor that keeps the wheels of the economy turning. I hope someday Mike Rowe finds you and gives you a coal tar and raw sewage enema.
You're the one being a douche here because you're totally (and deliberately?) misinterpreting what I'm saying. And actually I'm glad you mentioned Mike Rowe because, unlike you, he actually has a level head about this. The Mike Rowe jobs tend to pay much more than walmart. In fact everything I've said is fully consistent with what Mike Rowe says.
Take for example, some garbage men make about $50k/year, some as high as $60k/year, with the median being about $34k/year. The problem is, few people want the stigma of being a garbage man. But in truth, I'd much rather be a garbage man than work at walmart or mcdonalds. Why? Well, with those kinds of jobs you're stuck in one place, doing the same shit over and over again, while dealing with asshole customers that look down their nose at you. Garbage men meanwhile get to drive around town much the same as a trucker would, and it's not quite as monotonous as being a trucker.
Well then, if that's the logic, then let's halve the minimum wage... no wait, let's make it a penny, and then wow, will we all be in great shape!
This is one of those things where once you have it, you can't really take it away. The best thing that could happen to areas like these is that people move away, reducing the local demand for housing and other high ticket goods, or alternatively, build more high density housing while allowing economies of scale to reduce the real cost of high ticket goods. And yes, minimum wages could go down. On the up side, families that live there will actually be able to have their kids find jobs when they become of age.
I don't know about you, but if I owned a subway, I'm not going to pay some 16 year old $15 an hour if he doesn't even know how to sweep a floor. I might pay him $8 an hour if I often have to show him how to do that and clean toilets, provided he learns and does it without me having to ask, and I'd pay only $7 an hour if I had to micromanage him. And that might sound like a crap job with a non-living wage, but that's kind of the point. If you don't understand the basics of having a worth ethic, nobody is going to ever hire you for a real job. In my opinion, this is even more important than a college education. My company just fired an IT guy because he slacked off and lied about doing actual work, even though the work he was asked to do really was not hard. Who cares what he learned in college if he doesn't even work?
This is why people shouldn't give wal-mart or mcdonalds shit for giving crap wages. Walmart and Mcdonalds are "training wheels" for the job market, and if you're trying to have a career here then either move to corporate or else quit. Even if they did pay a good wage, would you really want to spend your golden years talking about how great your career as a greeter or burger flipper was? Maybe we can engrave a mop on your tombstone? The reality is that these jobs suck even if they pay well.
The problem with pushing the wage floor up like that in places where it's happening is that there's basically no more places to build houses, apartments, etc, and people are just going to outbid one another for what few places are available until $15 an hour just isn't enough to pay for it. People need to wake up and realize that a low money supply isn't what makes you unable to afford something, rather it's the overall economy growing while the availability of resources (in this case, housing) does not.
In other words, raising minimum wages just ends up making you pay more for the same stuff, but it doesn't increase the supply (and thus, affordability) of said stuff.
Hasn't anybody in any company where this happened tried to sue for discrimination based on national origin?
That is, unless by the spirit of the law, being from the US isn't a protected category, similar to how being asian or white doesn't seem to be a protected category by the spirit of the law either when applying to universities.
That's because most Slashdotters are either too young to remember Reagan, or not old enough to have understood what he was doing. Not only did he spend four years keeping as many campaign promises as he could, he ran for re-election on his record and earned another four years.
Reagan was also very good at warming up to people though, (hence the name "The Great Communicator") which is why he totally, utterly destroyed Carter in 1980 and Mondale in 1984. Trump has no filter though, so I doubt he can rally people as well as Reagan. Ultimately, time will tell.
