If you print in very low volume, the cost per unit may be dominated by the cost of the equipment. In that case, though, the manufacturers insane prices don't matter that much and they may still lose money on those customers since the devices are sold at a loss.
Did he actually say in there that we need nuclear? I can't really pull any meaningful content from the rambling. And as many know, I'm the most anti-trump guy out there. But if he puts forth a sensible policy on nuclear energy (i.e. lets use it for base load instead of coal until renewables are economically reasonable), I'd be the first to admit being impressed.
The remote coasters will transition to being office coasters. Then you sill have to fire them or lay them off. The top remote employees will have no trouble in the job market. I don't think that they will just revolt and quit. But if their life is going to be uprooted anyway, they might as well see if there are better offers out there.
Well the people most able to find new jobs will go. Many of them will be older and more experience. Some older workers whose skills are not up to date will come into the office until they get laid off in order to get their severance package.
In the past I would have agreed with you completely, but massive law-breaking seems to be working fabulously for Uber. It's also effective in less-developed parts of the world. So maybe it's going to experience a renaissance here in the US.
Well if their customers would rather blame MS than the manufacturer who sold them the faulty equipment, I guess there is no incentive for them to do so. If the equipment was purchased without a contract to maintain it, I'm not sure what to say. If the maintenance period has expired on medical equipment, yeah, it probably should be repurchased. The manufacturer shouldn't have used Windows for this without a contract to have Windows support for as long as the lifetime of the product. They were fairly negligent.
Or more likely, when the original warning was generated, the subtraction was not a problem. There was some external constraint that made this a valid operation. Then later there was what was thought to be an unrelated change that relaxed the external constraint. That's why code this size is hard. Almost any line can affect any other line and there's no way to know when you make a change what else might break. Probably there is something that could have been done here (like range-checking the result just to be sure) but a simplistic diagnosis (too lazy or stupid to pay attention to the compiler warning) is unlikely to represent a very significant portion of the actual cause.
An ultrasound machine should not be running an SMB server either! Nor should it be hosting any data. And it should be possible to return the thing to a default state. Also you should not be using it to browse email and open attachments!
Plus the set of keywords is small and easy to learn anyway. The keywords used in programming languages are English words and they kind of have a similar meaning but really they're not all that natural to native English speakers. If they were, we could all start writing webapps as soon as we graduated kindergarten.
No what I expect to start seeing is programs using English keywords and UTF8 variables names but the comments all being in native languages. The English-only speakers will be at a slight disadvantage.
In most cases, the goal is to protect the data from garden variety criminals not state-sponsored actors. My house is insecure as well since the police could bust the door down. But having locks on the door still goes a long way. The NSA doesn't need to impersonate a certificate to get my credit card number, they could just send a national security letter to the issuer!
There's no doubt that, as a group, the risk for defaults among minorities is higher due to the reasons previously stated. But that's not the issue here. An *equally qualified* white person and *equally qualified* minority should both get the same outcome regardless of their very different group membership. i.e. if the both have no debt and make $200k/year, they should both be able to get a $500k mortgage in the same neighborhood. What you are referring to is a confounding variable (minorities are more likely to be poor) which means you can't just compare the outcome of two groups or you will incorrectly conclude bias. The way you do this experiment is you create corresponding pairs. i.e. These two applicants are virtually identical except for their race. Then you look at whether or not the two individuals have the same expected outcome. If not, there is bias. It's not hard to conduct these studies although a bit tedious.
A farm is defined as any place from which $1,000 or more of agricultural products were produced and sold, or normally would have been sold, during the year.
https://www.ers.usda.gov/topic...
So yes, there are a lot of "small farms" but they don't produce an appreciable quantity of food.
States have tried to stop the takeover of corporate farms, but have lost in the courts.
http://nationalaglawcenter.org...
So while most of our farms are not "corporate," most of the food is produced on corporate farms. The others are mostly tax schemes.
The number of "farmers" is increasing but the number of "farmers" producing food is going down. There are tax incentives to be a farmer so people will produce low-value crops (like almonds) that they don't even harvest and then take the tax deduction on a huge swath of land. So calling this a "left wing lie" based on the contents of the Wikipedia article is not really accurate.
They already have the petrol-powered tugs that push the planes back from the gate. No reason they couldn't use those to tow the entire distance to/from the runway if it really made any sense. Although it may be a bit more complicated. Usually jets on an active taxiway are required to leave the engines on and idling. Apparently this burns an insane amount of fuel. Unfortunately to get a take-off slot you have to push back. When going to commonly congested airports, pilots will choose to push back, taxi to a remote parking area, and shut down. That way you are eligible for a takeoff slot and don't run out of gas waiting.
Yes I believe it's called the "air ram" but its only deployed in emergencies and actually doesn't work all that well. It will power cockpit equipment but as you get closer to landing there isn't enough power to run everything. There are many pilot stories out there of having to use the air ram in engine failure, trying to glide to an airport, and having to pick which instruments are their favorite as they get closer and closer due to insufficient power.
I've always wondered about this point. I'm clearly not an aviation engineer. But many car manufacturers work on "displacement on demand" systems to turn off some cylinders. Because of the need for takeoffs, jets tend to be massively over-powered in flight. It always seemed that a third, inefficient, engine could be added for use only in takeoffs so that the main engines could be much smaller. There are probably a million practical challenges with this but I've never seen much discussion on it. That third engine could certainly be electric as well.
In most economic analyses, supply can expand if you are willing to pay more. In the case of tech talent, this can't happen so pay will just continue to rise until some companies can no longer afford to pay the market rate and leave positions unfilled. Unless there is a strange confluence of circumstances, good people are already employed and will usually only change jobs for big opportunities or salary increases. But changing jobs doesn't expand the supply of labor.
It's not clear that there would be a double charge loss. Maybe you need to draw 5,000 amps and the grid can only handle supplying you 3500 amps. You could either charge slowly or you could draw 3500amps from the grid and 1500 from the batteries, as an example. That would make the double-charging loss much smaller.
There is net migration from US to Mexico, not the other way around. So the wall looks more like the Berlin wall to keep people in. As I've pointed out before, losing illegal Mexican immigrants will harm the economy way more than losing tourists because we need the illegal immigrants' children (who will then be US citizens) to compensate for our own low birth rate.
China is still only the second-largest economy although will probably overtake the US soon. Had we not had Brexit, the EU likely would have overtaken in the next ten years. Now that may take a bit longer. China is going to have a tough time sustaining economic growth due to the dearth of accurate information needed for business planning. That should be a huge US competitive advantage but will likely be undermined due to the alternative-facts movement.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Also, in fairness, poor immigrants (legal or otherwise) have a disproportional negative effect on the poorer inland area. The reality is, though, that losing tourists is less of a concern than losing immigrants. All developed countries have a problem with birth rate and the US is certainly no exception. We aren't going to be able to pay for our social security system if we don't get *more* people moving here. And that will hurt the flyover country people the most as they are less likely to have private pensions / 401ks.
Many people in the US were raised in a time where we *were* the center of the universe. The propaganda said that was because of how great our society was. In reality, the US was the center of the universe, because we were the only country that could take on the Soviet Union's quest for world domination. That was basically a war of attrition and the Soviets bankrupted themselves first. It wasn't a victory when the Soviet Union collapsed but rather a time of fear since they were a nuclear armed state. Now the US is declining and we're also a nuclear armed state. Emotionally, though, people have been so indoctrinated that they can't adjust to the new reality very well. Similar to the Soviet decline, the US has an amazing and scary military capacity which is why the world even cares at all.
I don't speak for "the left," "progressives," or anybody other than myself so it's very hard to respond to this type of post.
It would defy logic to argue against deporting violent criminals who are here illegally.
The challenge that we have in this country, however, is that our immigration system has a "rich, vibrant history" of racism that has never really been addressed. Each successive group of people who has come here has been demonized even though they have all contributed positively to our society.
There are still many out there who want to deny the existence of many problems but this (again intentionally or otherwise) has the effect of delegitimizing certain people's humanity.
When you have a vocal group of people denying that a problem exists or arguing that it shouldn't be solved, this creates a nearly insurmountable barrier to a practical discussion of potential solutions.
The "left" and the "right" both have their problems. But the messaging from the right is mean-spirited forcing people to pick the left as the lesser of two evils.
