They pay less for netflix and all that too but they also have dengue fever, hepatitis, tuberculosis, malaria and shit in the streets so, swings and roundabouts eh.
Find your comment about poverty quite offensive. What that has to do with genuine innovations in market pricing?
India has laws/rules on everything - women rights, environment, anti-LGBT (not kidding, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...; however anti-LGBT laws are seldom & selectively enforced), etc. The failure of Indian democracy is in poor/slow/selective enforcement of laws/rules which it already has on the books. These new rules will just add to the existing mess.
So the Chinese Govt and Intelligence has gone Full Big-Brother in creating a surveillance state, what's missing is an official statement that if you use electronic devices in China then you will be tracked. In contrast, US Intelligence has taken half measures by creating/finding backdoors of their own. Which of these approaches is worse?
Seems like ATT wants to monetize HBO viewers and introduce Ads on HBO and produce more content, that could be a good thing, however, their is a reason why HBO is so successful in consistently producing high quality content. If you are beholden to advertisers, then the quality of content will suffer, no more adult themed shows, as every fucking advertiser will try to push HBO to be politically correct and viewers will loose a genuine uncensored media outlet. It will be a sad day!

That's not good news either, lets hope it slows down the destruction of environment for time being.
The trailer worked against the game highlighting poor visuals and bland color palette. Worst of all it was too long, excess of 3 mins. In contrast Battlefield trailer clocked at just around 1 min.
We have a dropcam at home, which we use for watching over our child. And since yesterday morning, it stopped functioning. So I called Nest tech support yesterday evening and when plugged, they could see the dropcam on their end; however the camera was not turning on. Seems like the firmware update messed up their other products as well. Anyways, they will be sending a replacement soon. So all is well:)
Yes you can attend those universities, you just will have to pay more, similar to higher tuition fees for International students in US, unless you get a scholarship. Do the research, before you ask questions and answer them as well.
The US education system has been sustained by steady flow of immigrants; otherwise it will decline before you even blink. Yes, those hardworking students have a right to apply for US citizenship in a same manner, all those European immigrants did during past two centuries. Everybody in this country is an immigrant, except American-Indians; wait what happened to them? They were massacred and marginalized by endless wave of European migrations in past centuries. You do remember that history, don't you?
You are quoting these numbers as if there was survey taken after this kids arrest. Why would a 9th grade student be subjected to all the scrutiny and "supposed" forced to come clear about what he said in public? "Plugged in and beeping"...you understand that only happens in movies; that kid definitely has a sense of humor, could be said misplaced and ill-timed, but still a science project should not necessitate a complete freak-out by school authorities. They should have known better.
and all those foreign grads contribute significantly to US economy. Yes, they can work anywhere they want. In fact there is a significant number of US expatriates working in EU, East Asia, and South America.
You don't know what you are talking about, so stop these nonsense! Tell me if a MS or a PhD student invested so much effort in coming over to US (leaving all his/her family and support structure behind), then why can't they demand a support structure which provides them stability with respect to finding a relevant job here in US? In fact not having a longer OPT was the worst policy. Many students were forced/rushed to find employment in order to meet H1-B quotas and that led to employers acting as gods and exploiting these highly qualified students. I know so many graduate students who were forced to re-enroll into some bullshit program at University/Community College/Even Kaplan (for GMAT, etc!) so as to maintain their immigration status because the time on their OPT was up.
So before you utter such xenophobic words like "cheap labor" think about the hardship/uncertainty these students go through, before they land a stable job.
The robust immigration policies of US has been the main reason for its success compared to other developing countries. US has always been the country of immigrants and should avoid the xenophobic policies of other countries like in EU, Australia, Russia.
I feel sad that this bright kid and his family have been convinced to move to Qatar. Unfortunately Texas and many of the southern US states have seen an increase in intolerance since 9/11. His family should have given a sincere thought to moving internally in US. Most of the Midwestern, East and West Coast would have been perfect. Sadly it seems that the decision was made on monetary grounds.
This form of civil disobedience is great. I have also seen academics sharing there access to those journals with friends/colleagues. The best way is to stop publishing in such journals. One of the reasons such publishers have been successful is because there standards for accepting a publication is really low. Many times researchers are also abusing the publication process and submitting the same research to multiple journals.
The OCZ Trion 100 is lagging behind the competition in terms of performance and price, so why such a big deal? See this review by Anandtech (http://anandtech.com/show/9408/ocz-trion-100-240gb-480gb-960gb-review/11).
"If 13% of iOS device users in the world paid $9.99-per-month for Apple Music, it would generate more cash each year than the entire recorded music biz manages right now."
--Apple will be lucky to have 1% of its entire user base sign up for this service. You have to consider that 13% of all iOS users include lot of people with multiple devices, such as personal and work iPhones, iPad and per Apple policy you can have authorize up to 5 devices in your family to use your paid apps and I would imagine Apple Music to have same sort of agreement. Still we are talking big numbers.
Being underpaid is a relative term these days. Most of the researchers, I would guess were post docs and the pay for them is low (ranging from $40k in public univ's to $70k in private univ's/national labs), which is not minimum wage! However, exodus of so many researchers that the Research Center itself is fearing a shutdown has to include more experienced staff including research associates and Prof's. I think tech (app) industry has inflated salaries, and expectations.
Quite shameless of Uber to do so! CMU and other premier Univ's need to craft a more solid agreements for collaborating with Industry, so that this kind of nonsense doesn't happen again! I am not against partnering with Industry by these researchers, but researchers have a proposal obligations to meet too, so they should at least work through end of the calendar year and finish their federal obligations.
"The universities were selected because they are top-tier schools with multi-disciplinary programs, Nelson said.
The universities in the Cyber P3 are University of Colorado, Colorado Springs; Drexel University; George Mason University; Norwich University; University of Texas at San Antonio; and University of Washington Tacoma.
"
Are these really the top-tier schools? Why is MIT, Stanford, Carnegie Mellon, UIUC not in this list?

IMO, solution is to create a separate class of visas for outsourcing companies. H1B visas serves different purpose.

It will be difficult initially...probably in the next iteration.

Not sure if intelligence agencies can fake out IRIS and other biometric data. Shouldn't be that difficult?
