And how were Obama and Clinton (either one) any better. Bill Clinton killed off Glass-Steagall - a real gift to Wall Street. Obama was too chickenshit to beat up on insurance companies, especially since he (and every other politician) needed the donations, so let's give them huge public subsidies instead of creating a single-payer system like other modern countries have. Hillary was seen as Obama's 3rd term - so more of the same.
Jimmy Carter was right - the US is an oligarchy, same as Russia.
I've had my dogs, which I value a hell of a lot more than any laptop, returned to me twice even though they don't have name tags. Being friendly with everyone in the neighborhood is better protection than any security system. And, as I said, I haven't been robbed in 35 years of leaving my doors unlocked. Again, be friendly with your neighbors.
Spending LESS on education would be better. The cost of education has been way over the cost of inflation for a couple of decades - cut the fat, the stupidity, the mickey mouse courses, the diploma mills, the fat, the fat, the fat - there is no reason education costs should have been so crazy - except of course, the more subsidies and grants students get, the easier it is to charge more.
As for what type of jobs to train for? One certainty is NOT in STEM - it's only a matter of time before AI learns how to write AI code. AI will be doing the exploration in science, tech, engineering, and math - not humans.
It's mostly used for illegal stuff anyway, and we have plenty of ways to transfer money that are traceable. We don't need bitcoin, or any cryptocurrency.
Trump is actually very left-leaning on gays and lesbians, transsexuals, and abortion. What he says now and what he's done in the past are contradictory. I'd say actions speak louder than words. Like all politicians, he says whatever he has to to get elected. It's also why he's labeled a RINO - Republican In Name Only.
No question about it - the conviction rate is stupidly low for all economic classes. But 3 months in the local jail, instead of a state or fed pen? Where your old man can ensure you get whatever you want, because $$$ and influence? It's a joke. Or a tragedy.:-(
Okay, I'll clue you in. You should move to a place where you can leave your door unlocked when you go for a walk with the dog, shopping, or out all day.
I was broken into once, almost 40 years ago, by a neighbor's kid. It happens. Since then, front door unlocked, nobody has come in and stolen anything. I did have one woman I didn't know enter unannounced, but she was in a panic after a car accident and was looking for help. I have no problem with that.
I'm sorry to hear that. That's an awful way to go. In the winter it's hard to find something to move under a window to break in, hard to find something to force the window with, and once your hands are too cold, you can't even undo your jeans to squat and pee (or stand and write your name in the snow - YMMV).
Seems to me you're making suppositions without any evidence. There are plenty of projects involving lots of people that didn't use automatic memory management - pretty much all those old programs that got the home computing industry off the ground, when using c++ exclusively would have been far too slow, and way too memory-bloated.
And that's what the article recommends - smaller dogs, the yappers. However, I can tell you from experience that big dogs also work, if they have the right character. I had a Newfoundland (think "looks like a black St. Bernard if you're too lazy to click on the link.) I went to visit some friends, and the dog knew them, and was very friendly with them. That night, he was staying in the van, with the window open, while I went inside. He turned on the interior dome light jumping from the back seat into mine, and one of those friends came in and mentioned it.
I asked why he didn't just reach in and turn it off himself. "I tried. I want to keep my hand." Very protective dog most of the time, took me years to get him to learn that when there's a confrontation, don't get involved, let me handle it.
First, you are full of shit. Foxconn originally planned to reduce overall employment at their factories by replacing workers with robots, while building new factories, so they could increase production while reducing headcount. It didn't work out quite how they hoped. Turns out it's easier to replace white-collar jobs with Watson. When AI learns how to code AI, the trend will accelerate.
Also, the reuters story I linked to also talks about Foxconn's plans for another $50 billion in investment - that's a total of new jobs than all the employed in Wyoming.
Sanders would have been better - far better - but Clinton would have been worse.
So you'd prefer that there be even fewer jobs, so that the unemployment rate can look artificially low as people go on welfare because their unemployment benefits run out and they can't get jobs? Foxconn isn't just thinking of investing $7 billion, for 30 - 50k jobs - they're also thinking of another $50 billion in US investments.
If that creates jobs at the same rate, that's another 210,000 - 350,000 jobs, in addition to the 30,000 -50,000 from the display manufacturing investment. That's more new jobs than all the current jobs in Vermont or Wyoming.
here, not including the $7 billion, which I also mentioned from the original source - reuters - that carried both investments:
They better watch it - Foxconn is thinking of opening a $7 Billion display screen factory in the USA, on top of $50 Billion, and you know darned well that fear of Trump putting duties on them is part of it.
Foxconn, the world's largest contract electronics maker, is considering setting up a display-making plant in the United States in an investment that would exceed $7 billion, company chairman and chief executive Terry Gou said on Sunday.
The plans come after U.S. President Donald Trump pledged to put "America First" in his inauguration speech on Friday, prompting Gou to warn about the rise of protectionism and a trend for politics to underpin economic development.
You really have to admit that 30-50k new jobs is significant.
Gou said he told Son that the United States has no panel-making industry but it is the second-largest market for televisions. An investment for a display plant would exceed $7 billion and could create about 30,000-50,000 jobs, Gou told Son.
You can hate on him all you want, but if fear of Trump can bring manufacturing jobs back, the people whose livelihood depended on manufacturing jobs and who voted for him are going to be happy they did. As for the rest, you should all wish for more success stories, despite your personal opinions. It's not like any other president hasn't been an asshole. Why? "It's the economy, stupid!"
And yet we still have idiots saying "I hope he fails." Cut your nose of to spite your face all you want, the rest of the world thinks you're idiots to undermine anyone trying to reverse the trend of killing the middle and lower classes for the benefit of crony capitalists.
"Locking a door costs nothing" - yeah, right. Ever lose your keys or lock yourself out accidentally? Have fun getting in. A locksmith visit is over $100.00. And alarm systems don't discourage thieves. Even those that are centrally monitored, you know you have a MINIMUM of 3 to 5 minutes before the police show up, especially since calls from alarm companies about residential alarms going off are really low priority, and if there have been 3 false alarms at the same address, they will simply not respond to a call from an alarm company because your address has been blacklisted - and you have no civil recourse because each response to a false alarm puts people at risk, so not responding to a place with a history of false alarms is perfectly acceptable to the courts.

The destructor is called when the code goes out of scope. YOU can't determine that since you don't determine when there are no more references to the code, unlike a call to free(), where it doesn't matter what code owns it, it's gonna happen - so you'd better know when it's no longer being used anywhere. Also, if UI frameworks are a mess, blame the authors. It should always be possible to know with 100% certainty which piece of code "owns" the resource. There should never be a question of "dangling pointers".
And you SHOULD write free() every time you write malloc(). Allocate it in one place, use it, free it. Anything else is just begging for problems. As I said, if you take something, put it back when you're done. Even Java runs faster if you expressly call the garbage collector when you're done and have only thousands of objects to check to see if they can be deleted rather than waiting for the GC to pile up a million objects and then decide that "oops, I need to free up some space, lets walk those million objects, oh wait, let's lock up the whole UI for 30 seconds because this sucker is running on a computer with a YUGE amount of ram and we took it all.."

yes? art has no value!! Hollywood creates no jobs or revenue and is not one of the biggest exporters for US!!
NICE!!
You're one of those who knows the cost of everything and the value of nothing, I see.

It was Sundance. Nothing of value was lost. (same could be said about pretty much all Hollywood as well).
Most people don't buy gas ranges. Next.

The estimates of employee count are Foxconn's.

Small employers have always trained people on the job.
The estimate is 30,000 to 50,000 new jobs. Not a few dozen workers. And that's only the beginning
