God wasn't involved, the "mute" button was a "muteation" that came into existence when the "volume down" and the "off" button had inter-racial sex, and the environment provided a habitat where the "mute" button could survive as the fittest.
You wouldn't want to argue for "intelligent design", right?
Sure. Get your "free" education and then go elsewhere to make your money. Seems reasonable.
That's exactly what large corporations expect me to do. It's basically the blue-print for most of their activities: Take something (subsidies, raw materials, knowledge) from somewhere for free, then move on to the next tax haven.
But maybe it's just nice to live where I am, and I'll stay.
I responded to the question in the headline, not to some economic efficiency consideration inside the story. And btw., there are people who consider education worthwhile for reasons other than economic efficiency.
Not quite everyone goes to University to mate. Actually, there weren't any women in the physics department that I went to. And I would surely not have studied some bogus pseudo-science just to get into a department where women represented the majority.
To answer the question quickly: There are still a lot of countries where education, including at universities, is free or very inexpensive. People there will continue to visit universities in large numbers.
In TFA Intel states they "plan to use telemetry and machine learning, on a per-system and per-user basis" - wow, that sounds like a solid threat to turn users into their product, like Facebook does.
Some competent colleagues of mine left Intel right at the time when they were asked to work on software for Larrabee, because they knew right from the start that this project was bound to fail. The very concept of the Larrabee hardware was ridiculously flawed, as anyone with eyes could see. They of course told their supervisors so, but as usual, were not heard.
Bad for Intel, good for us, as we were back then just hiring.
AMD really seems committed to provide an open source driver, but while the amdgpu driver provides good performance and includes even the most exotic features and newest hardware, it is still full of bugs, and system crashes are all but infrequent.
When you read the commit messages of Intel drivers, you get the feeling that those who write those drivers know what they are doing, and just need to follow a proper, written down hardware specification.
In contrast, if you read the commit messages of the "amdgpu" driver, they read almost like random attempts into improving something based on trial and error. Not seldom, the descriptions of consecutive patches to the same file read like: "Implemented X" - "Replaced X with Y" - "Y turned out not to work for some users, replaced with Z" - "Reverted Z because Z broke A for some"... and so on. The list of open bug reports is ever increasing, with tragically, no end in sight.
where the effect becomes stronger with dilution, so you can easily accidentally kill your patient when re-using any equipment that came into contact with some substance before.
Ok, just joking here, Homeopathy is fraudulent quackery, and of course there is no such thing as increasing effect with increasing dilution.
what could possibly go wrong? The ridiculously oversized dependency-trees of node.js software, along with the lack of any decent web-of-trust structure backed by cryptographic signatures, makes this a "will happen again and again" event.
Before irresponsible "programmers" started to include even 5-lines-of-code snippets from unknown authors from the Internet, it was common sense to only depend on sizeable libraries of significant complexity, and only a few of them.
With the insane fragmentation of node.js code, there is no chance anyone can reasonably rule out that parts of that code come from an adversary.
Even the 1080p and 2160p re-mastered BluRay and UHD-BluRay editions already show the limitations of the analog film from back then. The movie is fine, and certainly one of the best produced of its time, but it definitely does not reach anywhere near true 8k resolution.
Not even the 8k-sample-video from the ISS recently released by NASA demonstrates proper 8k resolution - most parts cannot even use a 4k TV to its fullest.
"Freedom" is a concept that people who grew up after the ubiquity of the S(mart|nitch)phones never experienced first hand and can hardly comprehend at all.
It's especially funny when younger people attempt to create some sort of simulation of the past, as in "Red Dead Redemption 2", but are unable to get even the simple aspect correct that back then, if you shot some stranger in the woods without any witnesses around, there was no "overlord system" in existence immediately assigning a "Wanted" state to you.
Oh, only now I get it: By "foldable", the article does not mean really foldable displays, but "some display that is slightly rounded at two of its outer edges.
Though there is not much that I like about India, I certainly like their food. If yours tasted like swamp, either your swamps are full of interesting spices, or you were served some sort of depleted pseudo-Indian food that was lacking spices. I think it is fair to say that Indian food consists of various irrelevant things plus substantial amounts of interesting spices. And that's what makes it so great:-)
You might just have sat on a table with non-US people, while hearing a group of US people two tables away. Happens all the time in Europe, when groups from the US are visiting. Seems to be an aspect of US culture to speak as loud as possible short of shouting when doing conversation in restaurants.
If MicroSoft wasn't well behind Sony in the console market, they would become the usual assholes they are to every customer in markets they dominate.
Having to please their customers to compete is the only thing that causes Xbox to be a reasonable offering at this time.
It works like on day one, given that I have it running on its third set of inexpensive 3rd-party batteries.
Sure, it's already too big to be used as a mobile phone, but it works fine as a small tablet at home.
VW has been in the business of announcing future electric cars for many years. And sure, they built successful electric racing cars, like for the Pike's Peak challenge. But an actually sold electric car for the masses - I will believe no sooner than seeing it on offer, with a 22k$ price tag, at the next VW outlet.

That's nothing ... YouTube shows me things even before I think about them!
That's nothing! YouTube shows other people things way before I have ever thought about them!

Are there really regions in the world where the presence of milkweed is considered a significant risk? Sounds weird...

So given that no product using that technology has hit the market, it will be difficult to argue that damage has been done.
Funny, how at the very same time, Microsoft starts a "petition for digital peace": https://digitalpeace.microsoft...
What they actually want to say is: "Cyber-war should be waged only be the US institutions that we deliver to. We do not want you to compete."
