I wouldn't go that far. We've gotten a couple of nice projects out of them and several people got jobs. The best one integrated Google Maps with our expense software to automatically pick the right M&IE limits for the ZIP code. Aside: our employees are still pissed about that one since the IRS requires you to 1099 when you go over. I got my current job after winning a contest in 2007 where I drew an organizational hierarchy on an HTML canvas. We still haven't put it into production yet since we're in Seattle and too many of our customers are still stuck on MSIE 6...over a decade later!
After Woodward and Bernstein, too many journalists started trying to make the news rather than just objectively report on it. I'm old enough to remember what the news was like before them. Even Dan Rather, that for well over a decade was considered by many to be the most trusted journalist, threw his credibility in the trash and was fired because he knowingly pushed a fake attack on Bush Jr.
The best example of that I've seen lately is all of the articles that claimed Trump "tried" to fire someone. He can, so if he "tried," he would have. You have respected papers like the NYT and Wash Post that harmed their credibility by posting that headline.
No, they did not. They used the data to harm us since Zuck supports Trump. Zuck now owns everything bad Trump has and will do as president. Before, Facebook used their data to help the people by helping make sure McCain never became our ruler. That is different.
That's a good point. I worked with my cousin many years ago when he first started as a ditch digger mostly burying telco cables. IIRC, we made $3.10 an hour. He now runs a directional borer and makes into six figures. The crew size is still the same, five people. Maybe they're more productive, but I doubt that since there's now more planning and time to setup equipment and maintain them. They have two huge DitchWitch boring machines that require someone almost full time for maintenance! Also, boring through the glacial till here in Seattle requires specialized skills and equipment. Simple ditch digging has turned into a high paying job.
If other things are like self checkout-outs in grocery stores, then they do create new jobs. A friend that worked with Safeway said they cost more and require more people. The labor costs of just the travel time between stores for repairs is staggering. I know from going to my local Safeway every week that their four self check-outs are not that much faster than a single good cashier plus those four self check-outs require.an employee to oversee them so it's not a great gain even if you ignore all of the other extra costs. The reason they have them is customer demand. The customers want them.
And that is why America is doing so much better, than Canada. From looking ot our door log, and we require people to check in to open the door and swipe their card on the way out, our employees are averaging just over 90 hours a week. There's a reason Seattle is doing so successful as compared to the rest of the world. We're not lazy.
How? Even if they only work twelve hours a day and spend three hours on transit, that only leaves nine hours for sleeping, getting ready for work, and everything else.
which means an expected 16 hours a day Mon-Thu and 12 hours a day Fri-Sun. How can real workers, and I mean people not on the dole, afford the time to see a movie in a theater? I personally went just over twenty years without doing that. They need to solve the time problem first, of which assigned seats help so you don't have to get there so early. Otherwise tech people won't use an app to buy movies tickets they know they can't use.
Plus, peak load for most users is while playing a game. I can't imagine anyone that doesn't quit a game after their power is out for several minutes while running on battery power.
My work computer only uses about 350W at idle despite having a dozen 15k SAS drives. My boss thinks SSDs are a scam since we've had so many just suddenly quit without warning. I've even tripped the breaker at times while running IntelliJ and integration tests. ESR's 230W rating with a large monitor is probably close to accurate for the average user.
Why would you want batteries that have less capacity per dollar? You don't need a portable UPS for a server so using lighter batteries doesn't make any sense. There's a reason other than for a few boutique UPSs that they all use real lead acid batteries.
I'm sure Microsoft would fix that problem if they could. They're preventing paying customers from accessing software that they paid for. They can't even fix the problem where Windows loses its activation.

You joke, but from seeing what my friends post on Facebook, too many of them "ate the onion."

so thus a knee-jerk reaction.
True, and the media praised him for his tech savvy, but Trump did the same for the wrong reasons.

We knew that already.
Blasphemy. It emulates they keyboard commands from WordStar which the Borland tools also emulated. It's the choice of many old-school programmers.
cold war. Rmoney showed their hand in his debate with Obama when he called Russia our biggest threat. He accidentally revealed their plan.
And this is why we switched from KDE and Gnome to Xfce. It doesn't get in the way of productivity and is small and fast.
> Trump bashing and SWJ stories
But those are an important public service. We need to fight Trump.

It is sad how she is going to be mocked for the rest of her life because of how Disney used her? I assume that's a her. It's hard to tell.

that decided after I bought a chainsaw that I'm now starting a chainsaw collection?
You can't blame us for the people we vote for. This is their fault, not the fault of their supporters.
