... understanding this is what made Apple so successful in the first place...
Really?
What kind of 'understanding' Apple had to get them to produce that "Newton" thingy, huh?
It shouldn't be Apple which get the credit - instead, the credits should go to the late Mr. Jobs - he's the one had a clear understanding of what the world wanted
Case in point - after the untimely demise of Mr. Jobs Apple has yet to come up with anything which is worthwhile
We get to enjoy so many wonderful things, every single day of our lives, because of those who came up with original ideas - and work to make their ideas become reality
Solo programmers with original ideaas deserve praises - as for those who can't or don't - nothing special, reaslly - as they are just like all the millions of data monkeys throughout the world
Of the different ethnicity from Asia the Indians place a very high value on Education - on par with the Japanese, the Koreans, the Vietnamese, and the Chinese
The Pinoys (from the Philippines) and those from Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, and the Pacific Islanders (like Micronesia / Melanesia) education to them is not that important
As for the Pakistanis, the Bangladeshis, the Afghans, the Indonesians and the Malays, their utmost priority is Islam, their religion
The Iranians are the odd lot - although they are of the same religion with the former lot, the Iranians place a lot of emphasis on knowledge outside of Islam
Let us be fair here --- if stereotyping the blacks and/or the Hispanics has become a serious social offense, why is stereotyping the Asians still permissible?
Telemetry and error reporting cannot be effectively disabled on 10, because Microsoft refuses to make Enterprise available via retail channels
There is one thing about the masses - they believe in whatever they were told, such as "Users of Enterprise version of Win 10 can disable spying"
Just because they say the enterprise version can disable spying does not mean:
1. It is true _and_ 2. It will always be true
Remember this thing - Windows 10, unlike prior versions of Windows, is an "in progress" project, which means, Microsoft gets to add it, or take out, any function/feature it wants.
The hundreds of millions of users of Windows worldwide used to be the customers of Microsoft, used to be, because as of now, they have become Microsoft's product, to be packaged and sold to Microsoft's new crop of customers - the ad agencies, spook agencies, data miners, and so on, and so forth...
can M$ selectively kill any windows 10 computer remotely
As Win 10 is an 'in progress' project M$ can acquire that kind of power (if it does not already have it) and toggle the 'kill' switch any time it wants.
Win 10 is becoming the largest security threat there ever is.
Because of that I have decided to not upgrade any of my company's computers (which run Windoze) to Win 10. All the computers that are needed to be retired will be replaced with computers running any OS other than Win 10.
The Samurai rather commit harakiri than surrendering, its all about pride and honor
Japan being the land of the Samurai, thinking of surrendering is itself a blasphemy, something which is much worse than death itself
The talk of "Japan's surrender attempts" is nothing more than heresy, a fabrication by those who subscribe to historical revisionism
Murray Peshkin is *NOT* a war criminal
on
Twilight of the Bomb
·
· Score: 0, Redundant
Murray Peshkin does not have to take pride in his work, but he should not feel that he is party to a war crime either
Mr. Peshkin is not a war criminal. America's entrance into World War II ended up saving more lives than had it chosen not to get involved
The war criminals were and are the Japanese, the Germans, the Italians, and those who gave support to them
America's dropping bombs on Japan was not without justifications - it was the japs who attacked the Pearl Harbor first, and the japs were also attacking and invading other countries, from Korea to the North to the strings of pacific islands to the South, and all the way to Burma to the West
Along the way the japs committed atrocities that were so horrible not even the Islamic Terrorists of today could hope to match.
Furthermore, Japan as the aggressor country not only refusing to officially apologize for the crimes they and their ancestors have committed to other people, many of them, including the current Japanese Prime Minister, Shinto Abe, are doing everything they can to whitewash the barbaric acts that their fathers/grandfathers had done.
Before the japanese apologists launch their ad hominem attacks on me, let me include some links to photos documenting the atrocities that were carried out, by none other than the japs -
Thanks to Peshkin and the team which built the bombs, the two bombs that were dropped in Japan successfully halted the japs from perpetrating even more heinous massacres, illustrated by the photos above
We must be fully aware of the scams the japs are busy doing today - maximizing the effect of their 'victim card' while denying everything (and refusing to apologize for) the crimes they did to others
Internet may be the goose that lays the golden egg, to 99% of the people, but to the *ELITES* the same Internet has become a threat to their exclusivity
Before the Internet the masses had no way to know what the *ELITES* were doing - yeah, we may have the trash rags with occasional pics of the *ELTES* doing _something_, but all in all the *ELITES* were well protected, even their scandals could be covered up easily
With the advent of Internet, more and more of the scandals of the *ELITES* have been pried open and leaked into the wild. As more and more of the internal dealings are being known to the masses the status of the *ELITES* has started to crumble
That is why for the *ELITES* the Internet is no necessarily the goose that lays the golden eggs. It is a big threat to them, and is becoming more and more threatening
I arrived at America in the 1970's, and immediately plunged into the job market (Chinatown) because I practically had no money with me
After schooling and so on (paid for with the slave wages I got from working in Chinatown and other places) I 'upgraded' my career into research institutions
After that I was (repeatedly) head-hunted and ended up working in a string of tech companies
None of the places I worked had any of the 'job security' clause in the agreement - and in fact, more than one time I've seen long-time employees being escorted by security guards out of the building, with only an envelop with the pink-slip inside and a cardboard carton of personal belongings cleansed out of the cubicle of that employee
I do not know where the that 'sociologist' got his 'new norm" from, but in the good ol' U. S. of A., I never had any sense of 'job security' since 1970's, at least not until I started my own businesses
Unlike research papers dealing with real science, many of the 'research reports' from those 'sociologists' make no freaking sense whatsoever
The Stasi could never gather enough guts to prosecute the KGB, what makes you think the current government of Germany - essentially a lapdog for Uncle Sam - would prosecute NSA?
In less than 5 years we might get to enjoy the fruits of the labor of the thousands of researchers who have been working very hard to make the spintronic dream come true, and I for one, wish to take this chance to thank them for their hard works!
If France really wants to close down their nuclear power plants, Poland will be more than happy to supply Germany with their excess electricity generated from coal power stations
What about 'Carbon Footprint', you say? Hey, Poland can claim that their 'carbon footprint' is not as high as China, so they get all the greenlights they need to construct even MORE coal power plants
While I have a lot of interest in astronomy I am not trained in the field, thus, I have the following questions - hoping that someone may be able to answer them...
Let's say a planet, Planet XYZ, which is 5X denser than earth and there's water on (and in) it --- how will the water behaves on that planet?
Will water on Planet XYZ 5X denser than planet earth have 5X the viscosity of the H20 we have on planet earth?
What if the planet has only half the density of planet earth? Will the water be half the viscosity as it is on planet Earth?
Whether or not those apps can be removed I think it would be best if there is a list of the fraudulent apps, and if possible, the frequency of those apps downloading the invisible ads (to enable the users to calculate how much bandwidth those invisible ads are costing them)
As I am the one who submitted this article I need to point out an error
... The C-14 within an organism is continuallydecaying into stable carbon isotopes
The radioactive C-14 isotopes do not decay into "stable carbon isotopes" but rather, into stable N-14 isotopes via beta decay !
Please accept my sincere apology for the error - it was the fault of no other but me alone, for not noticing that glaring error when I was copy-pasta-ing from articles of three different sites
What I am saying is that the project was doomed from the very beginning
The developers of the project may have good intentions unfortunately their approach was totally misguided
If I were the one who wants to do something like that I would just do it, first, making sure that the thing works as advertised, and only then, I show the thing to the world - with source code, and everything
As one who has spent decades in The Valley I do understand one thing - the blame game can only go so far
And as one who has spent as much time on technology I realize that when a project has become so klunky, so unusable, and so evil, it is best to scrap that thing and start anew
Politics works very similar to programming - what you put into it is what you will get out from - and politics in places such as The United States of America has become so toxic that no amount of 'tweaking' or 'debugging' gonna make any difference
I've been in the States for several decades and I've come across plenty of people to be able to see a pattern, or two
I'll start with the Chinese - as I am a Chinese
There are two main types of Chinese in America - one tries very hard to pretend that they are Whites, while another know that no matter how they try they will still be called 'chinks'
Pao belongs to the former, and she sure tries very hard to be amongst the in crowd
I've paid close attention to what Pao has been doing over these few years - and I've noticed that the more she tried the worse she has become
Her first try to become a leader of the 'in crowd', in the corporate world was getting no where, quick - and when the whole thing bombed she wasted no time filing frivirous lawsuits againsther former employer
Her involvement with the extreme leftist circle got her the job at Reddit (as aptly described in one of the above comments as 'an interim') but she fucked that up too
The problem with Pao is that she has mixed with the wrong crowd, and her ambition is way too high for her own ability
Mayer, on the other hand, didn't have to go through what Pao has gone through. Mayer wasn't infected with the 'inferior complex' that many Chinese American are suffering from
As a Chinese in America I can tell you that those who look down on themselves (as Chinese) often live a really misery life. Everyday they had to struggle through the feeling of self-pity, self-hate, and self-denial
For Pao, all I say is that I pity her --- she should try slowing down, and start reflecting on what she has done

Is it so hard to do science without having to mixing in all the racist remarks?
Back in 1992 the "White Men Can't Jump" movie ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt01... ) was made and all was cool
Will it be as cool to make "Black Men Can't Code" and/or "Women Can't Program" movies in today;s climate?

Because in the name of "equality", your gender and skin color matter more than your technical ability
In other words, the Asians, even those who came from India, are born with skin colors of the Caucasians?
Let us be fair here --- if stereotyping the blacks and/or the Hispanics has become a serious social offense, why is stereotyping the Asians still permissible?

But. Africa. Regional political unrest can undermine labor costs
China has plenty of weapons and military advisers to send to Africa to prop up the regime of their choice. Even troops, if necessary
You guys are projecting what you guys and your ancestors have been doing in Asia, South America and Africa, for the past 2 centuries, into China?
It's like pedophiles always wary their own children gotten raped by others

This '3D Xpoint memory' sounds very much like MRAM as described by the following article
http://spectrum.ieee.org/semic...
Last year (2014) Samsung reportedly was collaborating with 15 partners in developing similar spintronic MRAM memory technology

Hynix and Toshiba also partnered to develop their own version of MRAM

Intel is a traditionally very stable company
