He is also Republican in that he decries the large role of politics of society and in doing so denigrates politics overall - part of the game plan of any authoritarian sect. Remember that if you don't have politics deciding issues, you have authorities deciding issues. Yes, democracy and the resulting politics sucks, but they suck a lot less than the alternative.
I thought the point of having a game was to play it. Now you're bitching because you have to play it more than you thought. There's no pleasing anyone these days...
Yes, and in the middle ages, nobles could kill serfs on a whim - luckily things have moved on a bit since then. Just because you like to spend your time trying to defend pedophiles doesn't mean others have to agree.
Except that current dishwasher technology is not particularly well suited to all dishes (crystal, china, etc.), nor do they do a good job of getting heavily-soiled pots and pans, or dishes with dried on food clean without pre-washing. Finally, dishwashers are a finite size and will not hold all the dishes from many meals. A well-engineered dishwashing robot will have none of these issues.
The prospective foreign students I know (and I know quite a few) aren't coming to US because of the rightist antics of the American government. They come from countries where there have been right-wing instigated coups and civil wars and many have had family members murdered by right-wing death squads. Masked soldiers and police in black running around streets and universities beating teachers and students they disagree with..........well, that's straight out of the Chilean coup playbook.
There have been atrocities on both the left and the right. Ignoring either is intellectually dishonest.
No, but it does mean the business is perpetuating the status quo, which is racist, rather than helping to change the said status quo. You think of it as inertia - I call it moral lassitude and laziness.
Saying everyone is the same...is voluntarily blinding yourself to how the real world exists.
And understanding that everyone is different, but still doing your best to treat them equally is the basis of a fair and just society. But that doesn't seem to matter to you - just because people are different seems to make you think that it's OK to discriminate.
... but the one posed by the article's title comes close.
Given that most widely-used OS'es start from a base of languages that are not secure with manually-managed memory management, that most OS and application programmers are not (and I'm being charitable here) security experts by any means, and that software processes to mitigate these issues are still often pushed aside for "business" reasons when not deprecated in the name of agility, a better question is "How do we turn out software that stands up so well to constant battery?" The answer lies in oftentimes heroic actions on the part of a software team as well as endless iterations of testing and defect fixes. Neither set of actions is particularly transferable or scalable, but with constant influx of cash from customers for whom insecure software is better than no software at all and a constant flow of fresh programming minds, they are certainly and sadly sustainable, which is why such practices persist.
Add some bullshit accessibility feature to your app and then you have a reason to use the API. And you can use it to your devious heart's content. Better yet, do the disabled people in the world a service and add decent accessibility features to your app. Then you'd be doing good and have earned the moral (if not legal) right to abuse (at least in its corporate owners' eyes) the API.
Look at the sarcastic idiot with a proper name. As usual, the right wing conflates the minor inaccuracy of the major media with the major inaccuracies of the non-major media and tries to draw moral equivalence. I don't know whom to be more disgusted with - idiot right winger here or the morons who modded him up.
By your "news has to be perfect or it's all crap" standard, why should we take time to find out facts at all? Which, of course is the point of your rant - to promote and perpetuate the ignorance of the American populace so people will vote for your side.
Data science is one of those modern terms that currently means whatever you want it to. In this case, the article was referring to "large wombat of the ugly variety". Either that or "sampling and statistics" - I get those mixed up all the time.
I would think that the worldwide drop in oil prices due to oversupply would explain most of the issue. That and politicians' incentives to stay in office no matter what explain the rest of Venezuela.
But don't let me rain on your "Non free-market is the Debbil" rant.
Tell that to my wife whose new-model HP had an HDMI driver that wouldn't deliver sound for a year and a half until an upgrade delivered that feature. The bottom line is that driver support sucks for most manufacturers, Microsoft included.
They built this absolutely toxic environment for conservatives under the cover of "diversity". Why should anyone believe they are going to do anything except continue to make conservatives feel like pariahs?
Sadly, the poor conservatives would never consider collective action like forming a union to object to the man's firing. Instead they whine to the government to protect them, since they believe in government intervention when it's convenient for them.
...[managers]... focus on their own needs and end up understanding very little about other people, much less be interested in what those people need and how it differs from their needs.
As long as each manager's main need is "keeping my job by doing what my boss wants", it would seem to be a relatively effective business strategy to utilize.
This tendency didn't start with school children. The animal kingdom is full of examples of animals that observe a similar pecking order, from birds (from which it was named) to many mammals.
Maybe, just maybe, we should try to be better than our evolutionary forebears.

A short strategy might not work anyway... As a wise man once said, "The market can stay irrational much longer than a man can stay solvent."

News at eleven.

But that can't go on forever... everyone knows that "640k ought to be enough for anybody."
Besides from the religion part?

HP don't have this problem with their drivers.

The IT industry alone will have a 1.5M+ shortage of skilled workers as older workers retire and foreign workers go home.
Then maybe the IT industry shouldn't be firing older workers long before their retirement to demonstrate the shortage.
Friends don't let friends use Oracle.
