This thinking is what is wrong with Supergirl. The show succeeds because the side characters are not inherently weak.
Win is a clever computer tech. The Martian Manhunter can handle his own, and has his own story arc.
Jimmy Olsen works because his narrative is a deconstruction of the very notion that male characters have to be weak and attracted to the female lead. He plays into the trope, and fights against it.
Finn deserves to be a character equal to Rey, like Han Solo to Luke. We're just used to Disney pairing characters like Finn and his admirer together, and hindering the character's strengths. It can be said she admires Finn because he is on the hero's path. One where he is willing to self-sacrifice. Okay, I think I am seeing a potential payoff in The Last Jedi's script... If Disney can "redeem" Finn, and preserve his character despite convincing him that he is misguided...
So are Firefox Quantum Addons suffering from the same compatibility nightmare that Firefox 2 Extensions had when they went started using the major version number as a minor version number? Or did Mozilla patch out whatever hook those Addons used to function?
Recessions are largely equalizers, and all companies are typically impacted, and they are part of the normal ebb and flow. So you as lean and mean an organization as you can, and handle the bumps as they come along. Surviving Recessions is about profit maximization.
Cyber Security is not part of the normal ebb and flow. Cyber Security is about loss prevention, not profit maximization. Cyber Security doesn't create profit or mobility. Cyber Security doesn't enable users to be more productive. It is simply management overhead. Cyber Security is also a matter of who has the best techs and technology. Cyber Security is therefore a controlled cost, and a gamble. Control it too much, and you lose. Control it too little and you hurt company profits, and the other guy wins.
For execs and bean counters, Cyber Security is like paying an employee to play video games. It is a tough pill to swallow.
Would government mandated checklists and compliance tests resolve the issue, similar to OSHA and HIPAA compliance? Make it a level playing field for all businesses? Commodotize Security by spreading the costs across the entire industry? Create a market for solutions?
Or do we need to look at the infrastructure, such as the networking stack and protocols and find a better way of solving the Two Armies problem and the Byzantine Generals problem?
Firefox 56 is not sane. Firefox 52 is (Pre-Quantum), and Firefox 60 is (latest ESR release). 56 is just an oddball, and no sane person should be using it anymore at this time.
Trump promised a wall, to customers who were buying management expertise and haggling/bargaining skills, as well as non-establishment.
Only the hardliners actually want a wall, and when the hardliners said they wanted something "concrete" I don't think they meant the wall itself... Trump, however, is managing to play hardball for an "all-concrete wall" that few if anybody actually wants, and failing to deliver anything that is actually concrete and on paper to the house or congress to actually work with. (See Trump's back-peddling on the whole "metaphor" stuff. He says the all concrete wall isn't off the table, but never actually admits that it is what he is trying to get. It isn't concrete whether Trump wants a concrete wall.)
These taxes are for those who pursue the higher education, not those who don't. So while it can be called a "tax" given its wide spread diversification to even the returns ala 401k plans. This is more akin to insurance or a loan repayment as far as the individual is concerned, as these "taxes" are "opt-in" taxes.
This also puts more pressure on schools to focus on applicable studies, because the school won't get paid if an arts major becomes a starving artist. There is no return on investment. The value of the field in the commercial marketplace would be expected to feed back into the funding of the education itself. Thus we could do away with the other teaching requirements that encourage teaching to the test or grading on a curve, and just focus on the long-term value the workforce education will provide to job creators.
Make it a long term goal to get the loan repayment off of government subsidizing and strictly onto this late stage financial support.
If a college produces poor performing students, they go out of business.
There is the question of how long and what percentage of the education needs to be paid back. We need to be able to support critical low paying jobs with quality educations, like nursing/health care, law enforcement, vet care, and fire departments, etc. They can be supported off the back of lower value but higher pay fields like accounting, banking, and M.B.A.s.
Of concern is that the lack of pressure, for higher paying jobs to survive beyond paying back loan debt, might reduce the pay and thus reduce the money coming into the schools to renovate, innovate, and otherwise maintain quality teachers and materials.
I have an ongoing similar problem. About every five logins, all my icons/tiles will revert to the default in the Metro/Start Menu. I have to logout and log back in a couple of times, or reboot a couple of times, for it to resolve the issue.
I like the idea of it being a toggle, but having it on by default. I'm not against it being required for a little while either. One less thing to manage.
Running on an entry level AMD C-50 series Dual 1.0GHZ, an SSD was required to run Windows 10. I've seen that on many a "moderate" to "entry-level" machine. Windows 10 seems to be heavy on disk utilization on mid to lower tier desktops, especially following a boot cycle. Moderately high to high end machines can apparently compensate due to the significant amount of resources available. It may just be that Windows 10 was optimized for higher end machines and SSDs. Machines that are never powered off probably not suffer as severely either.
On the disk space front, between Volume Shadow Copies, and the size of program installations require a disk capacity greater than 120GB to be usable. This isn't a Windows 10 problem per se, but Windows 10 itself does require at least 64GB to operate once you factor in the 6 month upgrades, temp files, page file variances, and especially fragmentation and performance of physical disks, etc. This leaves the remainder of the drive for applications. Office is no small install, and files created using Office are larger than they used to be as well. Image resolutions have increased, video resolutions have increased, anything embedded in say a PowerPoint or OneNote, plus the caches for OneDrive and DropBox. It adds up. Eventually a smaller physical disk simply isn't going to be able to sling things onto the platter without incurring a hit waiting for the drive to spin back around to find a 2 meter womp rat exhaust port sized piece of unallocated space.
Want to put anything on there besides the basics, and you definitely need more than the 120GB minimum for platters. I don't even use 120GB Windows 10 SSD based devices for anything other than streaming and remote desktop. I don't run anything local on devices with so little capacity. That is largely due to bandwidth being limited to 5mbps, making it so nightmarishly slow to swap out items on such a small device, that I don't even bother.
Having thousands to millions of emails isn't about digital hoarding. It is being overwhelmed by the sheer volume of unimportant, irrelevant, expired, and useless spam, and simply being unable to manage it.
Say you get a bill in your email. That bill needs to be retained for a certain period of time in order to retain the latest contact/support information, balance the checkbook, and account for any errors with the billing agency or bank. Simply deleting that bill assumes perfection and/or inerrancy on the part of third parties.
Let those bills grow for some time, and suddenly you've got an entire folder of bills, intermingled with data breach notifications and administrative emails, etc. There may be an email or two which you need to "Pin" to the folder to prevent its deletion. And then do a "Sweep" or automated cleanup of other items to prevent clutter. Mail hasn't been that advanced until recently, and most mail services are still not that advanced. (Is GMail capable of all of those things?)
Later you buy one thing online, and suddenly you have inadvertently subscribed to 50 publications which email frequently. (Plus paper catalogs by snail mail apparently,...) Which you then have to manage which ones you have unsubscribed to while sorting and deleting them to prevent deletion of legitimate mail in your Inbox (like a first warranty renewal notification for a product, or an insurance bill from a new provider, or account theft alerts/purchase notifications you weren't expecting etc...).
Let that cycle repeat itself for all online activity, which is intertwined with a significant portion of our daily lives, and email becomes a task which requires a full time secretary position to maintain. Training email is now possible, but it is not a simple task. Then put all of that on the general populace who can't even change their Facebook diary postings from "Everyone/Public" to Friends or a private group, etc,...
What two decades were those, because I don't remember them.
What I do remember is the difference at lower capacities being so negligible that it was usually blamed on FAT and MFT tables and such, which also reduced the storage capacities. Not much difference between 1MB and 1.02MB...
I get 5mbps, and no ISP actually services my area since at least 2016, so 5mbps is grandfathered legacy DSL.
As a result, you could say I've actually seen a decrease in internet speeds, not an increase. 5mbps to 0.
I don't get celullar service worth squat to use a hotspot. Cable, DSL, and Fiber are not available in my area, and satellite has ridiculous caps on data, such as 10GB per month.
Guess I'm on the wrong side of the cow pasture... "Big City" is just down the road on the other side of that cow pasture. Maybe five miles?
Must have just been popular in my corner. I remember rediscovering it around the 00's. Probably learned about it in 2001, but I think it has been around as since Geocities days.
The article is claiming that the need being filled is being done so half-*****.
By filling that need in such a manner, and failing to grow as the community recovers, it stalls and kills the local economy.
Ask yourself this? Is it better to have a rookie who doesn't want to learn and isn't capable of all the responsibilities of the job, but who provides just enough assistance to sustain current production? Or is it better to be training a competent and capable employee to enable growth and a competitive edge for the future? Somebody who's abilities can free up labor to be more agile?
Some things need to be managed. Capitalism is a tool, not a holy religion. It can't meet all needs of human kind naturally.
One extreme to the other. Whole Foods is championed as paying fair wages and providing high quality products.
Those of the Whole Foods religion claim that big box stores undermine the economy by driving wages lower. By being a national chain, they command brand recognition, and control a large amount of profits for producers of merch.
Dollar General not only has similar consequences, but it doesn't "grow" as the local economy recovers. A Dollar General's produce selection never expands to provide healthier products. This means that fewer workers will be willing to move to the area, and those who live there are less likely to fully enjoy the fruits of their labors, practically literally in this case.
Basically Whole Foods is held as a brighter future, and the Dollar Store (and Walmart, and now Amazon) is held as a prime example of the "race to the bottom", self-destructive bleed them dry nature of the "throw away economy" for the last decades.
And contrary to the stupidity of the ACs replying here, this article is about finding that equality of opportunity, but asking the questions:
Can you shoot yourself in the foot inadvertently?
Can you fail to see the forest for the trees?
Can you fail to see the big picture, or have a false impression of the big picture implications of a thing?
Can you settle for less than your potential, by putting a dollar store in place of a low end grocery store? And can that stall or reverse progress?
Do Dollar Stores slow or negate economic recovery from the downturns that caused bigger grocers to leave the area? Is it healthier for grocers to battle it out to revive some communities, and let others disolve due to having to travel far? Or allow communities to flounder indefinitely on meager means?
Does the permanent lack of variety of fresh produce, etc., in a Dollar Store cause long term unintended side effects?
Is proper nutrition necessary for mental clarity and competitiveness in order to attract jobs back to the area, and sustain those jobs?
Do Dollar Stores stimulate the local economy, or stall it?

Until Windows 10 1809, Candy Crush was an install by default item. So yes, it was Windows which was at fault.
Once the 1809 rollout is complete, Candy Crush should go away.
Runs fine with an SSD.
