Spectrum still has no IPv6 support. It really is getting to be ridiculous that its 2018 and there is still no IPv6 support. When, if ever? Do these companies need to be fined to compel them to upgrade>
Shorts are considered far more dangerous than longs, there is potential to lose vastly more money from shorts. So don't think the two are the same. Shorts are very dangerous.
Increasingly, not a lot of plastic garbage in the sea actually comes from the US and first world countries, not by design in any case. This is increasingly true due to waste incineration used more and more which destroys the plastic., A lot of plastic floating around the pacific probably is coming from the dirtier and more careless countries such as Mexico, China and other Asian countries. I live near the US coast and rarely do I ever see plastic garbage in the water.
I find the idea of the interest in vinyl and tape to be curious. Some people prefer the imperfections that it offers, in the same way there can be nostgalgia listening to music on AM radio. Digital is by far superior, offering the best reproduction. There is no way that analog can come close, to digital, with all of its error correcting Reed-Solomon coding and perfect copies and playback.
I am more into the Super Audio CD to allegedly offer more detail than you will be able to hear, rather than to invest in lossy artifact ridden formats. The proliferation of Mp3 and all of its lossy compression was a step back from the CD in sound quality.
There is really no need for hysterics. First, stop all immigration. Now. This is so that the remaining work can go to our own citizens. Secondly, retrain employees for the jobs that are available, as needed. If that doesnt fully solve the problem, we can go to a shorter work week to distribute remaining work evenly among more people in smaller chunks. There is no need for communist/socialist basic incomes and other crackpot ideas.
Everyone agrees we should have unemployment insurance for people between jobs. It would be better to spend money however on job training so we can help people develop skills rather than become permenant dependants on government. UBI thinking is wrong. Once we cover the unemployment gap problem by covering people between jobs and putting them on a job placement queue, and provide job training for people who need to beef up their skills, the only people left on UBI are people who DONT WANT TO WORK.
Basically people need to have a reason to work. When we have a UBI we are removing the reasons and it is going to end up massively abused. Ironically the people who are pushing this crappy idea are the same people want to to make Americans compete with hoards of foreign invaders coming into steal their jobs. Which is why many think that the Democrats want to put Americans out of work so that they can have this disaffected population on which they can push their Socialist welfare programs on. The Democrats need a permenant welfare class and the idea that nearly everyone can have well paying jobs would be their worst nightmare, because when people leave welfare and become independant self sufficient and productive members of the economy, they no longer want more taxes and more welfare programs!
What we need to do is stop all immigration, deport all illegals, and then we need to retrain the American population for the jobs that are available.

Yes, I don't want a tax cut, I want to have less money to spend, I like having the government take all of my money! And I like driving companies out of the country with super high taxation so we don't have any jobs! Yes, Americans just LOVE our taxes because we want to give up everything to the government to give to a bunch of illegal aliens who steal our jobs!
Venezuala also tried this socialist welfare program stuff. The country is full of oil. The problem is it gave out a lot of the money as welfare programs. This did not lead to the development of alternative industry in the country that could help diversify the economy, so it remained independent on oil. Maybe... if the oil companies could invest their profit in stock in other companies in the country with interesting ideas, that may have helped. Chavez because of all of the taxes and confiscation that he was doing, no one wanted to invest in Venezualas economy. the Oil wealth was not being used for investment was being used by the people for their day to day living needs, which really didnt result in the development of the economy. Its very short sighted thinking.
Climate change is being appropriated for political objectives, its a highly politicized thing that is far from being just "science". Once policy actions enter the fray, its no longer just about science any more. Many of the big proponents of climate change policy agendas are doing this for other reasons and do not care so much about the climate, and may not even believe doomsday scenarios themselves. The climate change agenda is being pushed to expand the power of government, reduce the rights of the individual, and is tied to ideas that the US is a terrible country, that it needs to be punished and made to suffer, and that reparations need to be paid, and globalist wealth redistribution schemes. This is why third world countries are lining up in support of climate change agendas.
Client predictions are based on computer models which are far from being "fact" and are subject to the impossibility of prediction of as complex a system of the earth 50 years into the future. Establishing cause and effect is also a problem considering that there are many things that impact earth climate so you cannot just assume its due to CO2.
Most of the policies require drastic effects on the well being of people. There are some which could be implemented without major impacts, like multi-use developments with housing and jobs within the same walkable distance. Why don't all these liberal companies like Google put their money where their mouth is and put employee housing on the same walkable complex as their offices. Why dont these liberal companies allow telecommuting? The telecommuting itself would lead to major reductions in fuel use. So why dont these companies do it?
I major factor that stymies expansion is the high cost of construction in NYC due to the labor unions. This has been mentioned elsewhere, it takes twice as much money than it does to build similar tunnels of similar complexity and difficulty in cities such as Paris.
What good should do is merge android and chrome browser as app platforms, and allow apps to be installed in a container inside chrome, the app would be installed into a sandbox and could have access to its own files and nothing else, unless the user manually shares files with it, apps would of course be distributed as Webassembly and use DOM APIs, WebGL, HTML5 Video, etc, JIT for native speed. Apps could be installed through an app store. This is different from an extension becuase a Chrome app would not have any access to web pages, its not a browser extension. This would allow developers to target chrome as their primary platform, allowing apps to run on Windows. Linux, Android, Apple, etc etc. It would allow apps to be installed on the hard drive (within sandbox) and used without internet access and documents to be stored locally (inside a sandbox directory). An app could be started even from command like with google-chrome app://appname. This is better than YAIOS (Yet Another Incompatible OS) by allowing a common app platform between current OSs. 99% of the code is already in the browser for all this
Ever look at the problems with Flash, IE, Edge, Windows, etc etc? Open Source has a better record. I don't think any large C/C++ program has never had a bug. Propreitary software has a history of being much worse.
If it didnt beat 264, that would be a problem and quite a shock, since 264 is old technology. So, thats not an accomplishment at all, beating a 10 year old format. They are really after beating 265, I would hope.
What really irritates me is that Linux filemanagers cant figure out that right click and dragging and icon is supposed to pop up a context menu when it is dropped on the destination to select if you want to copy or move. Many file managers wont even ask at all. Very annoying behaviour.
These people used these drugs being aware of the dangers and lack of review, because they were their last hope. They were used on people as a last ditch effort for people who are already very ill. Overall, allowing people to try more dangerous but promising drugs will save lives by helping getting drugs that do work available faster. Since these people were already in a very critical state its absurd to blame a drug that was their last hope, because they had lost their quality of life already. To move things forward we have to accept some danger and these people accept this danger, knowing the risk, but already are suffering greatly already. Basically, its their own personal choice to take these risks, they should have a right to do so, even if there is danger, so at least they have a fighting chance rather than have to accept their fate.
I hate air dryers and prefer using paper towels for many reasons. Much to my irritation paper towels are becoming rarer and rarer. Most restrooms seem to now only have an air dryer rather than paper towels. I cant stand it as the air dryer makes a loud noise. Also, its a good idea to use paper towels to open the door as you go out (many people do not wash hands and you are touching the same handle they did). There should be a law to require paper towels in all restrooms.
This is not true. You are overgeneralizing, most Christians do believe sex should be enjoyed. But that it should be enjoyed within marriage, and that as a part of the deal, you have to accept the responsibilities of raising children. James Dobson is one example of a Christian author who explains that sex is god's gift, but it has a dual purpose, it has to be both for pleasure AND for making children and you have to accept both as part of the deal. It is also written that sex has to be inside a context of a loving marriage.
This is what you get when you have globalist anti-american social justice hiring practices with an H1B third world CEO and H1B programmers, and refusing to hire articulate and talented American talent, third world programmer == third world code. Instead of fanatical American geeks who love what they do, you have degree mill poorly paid third world programmers who work for peanuts. When you come from a third world country with open defecation they have a very low standard of what excellence is to begin with, so you end up with poorly paid workers producing poorly designed, garbage code. This is a "success" compared with the standards of their originating country.
Not having backward compatability with yourself does not inspire confidence in a language. There is really no excuse for it. Why not just have a python 2 compiler that compiles for the Python 3 VM. There is really no excuse for not having backward compatability and for a fork for 3.
This is what we get from hiring cheap third world H1B labor. Third world labor, third world code. Best thing we can do is kill the entire H1B program and hire only American geeks to maintain these systems
The desktop is not dying. The industry has matured and people are simply happy with the desktop they have and not replacing as often. Mobile devices are absolutely miserable for anything other than a quick message or notification while on the go, not a good form factor for heavy duty work.
They may very well be staying with x86 which would be advisable considering the Virtualization issue, perhaps they will use their own x86 chips. A big issue as well is the fact that it would break binary compatability to switch instruction sets. This is the nuiscance for vendors and consumers to not have all of the old distributions of software work on newer computers. Backwards compatability means a lot.
What code has to be rewritten? I thought nearly all app code is written in Objective C or one of the higher level languages. Who writes app code in assembly? It mainly looks to be an issue for Apple's OS developers and compiler writers.
Just because its ionizing does not mean its not harmful. Otherwise the effect of UV from sunlight would not be harmful. But evidence has shown RF burns to be harmful even though they are not ionizing in nature. The reality is these waves can interact with the body even though its not ionizing. The whole mantra that "if its not ionizing, its safe" is contradicted by numerous studies and evidence and is certainly not based on a good understanding of things.
