Furthermore, if it's OK, then why do they repeatedly emphasize that the total number of employments was small? If it's lawful, then it doesn't matter how many times they did it.
Exactly. If they wanted to, they could raise the price of gasoline to the point where the externalized costs (i.e. pollution) are taken into account. The result would be a system which charges people in proportion to their consumption & environmental harm without the need for Big Brother. I suspect they want to track all cars anyway and are fishing for reasons to justify it.
OK, so all the atoms make it into the product, but what's the energetic cost, or yield? Isn't that what really matters? Yes, I could read the article, but that's what a good summary is for -- spelling out the result in a sentence or two.
I actually like the current 5. If something has 5, it's enough to notice and probably worth reading. Other moderators can then spend time to up or downvote other comments, rather than pile on the bandwagon.
procrastinators' ideas were 28 percent more creative
How do you measure creativity? According to them, how creative were Da Vinci? Bach? The idea that you can measure creativity is silly. Furthermore, I think we can agree that thinking deeply about a problem is more likely to lead to a good solution than not, but procrastinating is not the same thing as actively engaging a subject. This reeks of psycho babble clickbait -- after all, who doesn't want to read that procrastinating is good?
A shortage happens when something isn't priced high enough. In this case, there isn't a lack of talent, but rather the wages being offered are too low, and so people choose other careers. Raise wages and the labour pool will follow.
Is higher education vocational training, or is it it how we instill the broad knowledge and critical thinking skills necessary for an informed population? Vocational training doesn't belong in universities. Of course, people learn useful skills and develop specialization while in college, but the real end goal for students is to emerge as critical thinkers who then pursue their career of choice. In some cases, that means an advanced degree, and in other cases it means the job market, with on-the-job training.
A major problem is that a lot of people go to college when really they just need job training. They don't care for, and don't receive, the real education that college degrees represent.
If the government takes over a device and starts masquerading as the owner, how do we know? Could they hack your phone, use it to view a forbidden website, and then land you in jail because of it? Conversely, does this give people plausible deniability for actions performed on their digital equipment?
I sleep 9.5-10 hours when uninterrupted. If I get less than 7.5 then I need an afternoon nap. I envy people who can get by with less, for the cumulative extra hours spent awake add up to a lot.
This is a popular online forum. You can bet that all sorts of state actors, megacorporations, politicians, and anyone else with clout or ambition will be shaping the discourse here as needed. Turn up your critical thinking skills a notch.
If we actually had a competitive ISP market, where I could choose between, say, a hundred different providers at my residential address, then perhaps allowing the ISPs to compete in such a manner as you describe would make sense. As it is, we have 1-2 ISPs, and generally poor competition. Once one of the ISPs decides to pull prioritization shenanigans, then we the consumer is powerless to do anything about it. The only vote we have with our wallet is to forego an internet connection completely.
11 kilometers per hour works out to a pace of roughly 8.77 minutes per mile (the more familiar way of measuring pace by American runners). That's by no means particularly fast.
My Radeon 6850 runs TF2 great on the OSS drivers. This is where things are headed, and if AMD keeps it up then Nvidia will have catching up to do. We're nearing the point where you can buy a graphics card, plug it in, and it "just works." The main issue is that it could take months for the bleeding edge to make it into the latest kernel, so brand new GPUs could be problematic. More to the point, in a few years an AMD APU might be both "good enough" for gaming, and also "just work." On Linux. That's saying something.
Vinyl can't be made artificially "loud," by killing the dynamic range of the volume, because that procedure causes the record to jump. CDs can be made "loud." Thus, in today's "loud" age, it doesn't surprise me that brand new vinyl sounds better on good speakers.
Unfortunately for us, it's not just denying access to information, but mandating access to our own information. What has yet to be tested is what legally happens when you generate a random file and send it to someone. If asked, how can you prove it's not an encrypted file? There is no key that can be used to unlock it!
Everything went up after the meltdown. You could have put money in just about anything and done likewise... which is exactly what the ultra-wealthy did. Since the ultra-wealthy could afford to take the risk and not sell when things were low, they could then swoop in with cash and buy up things real cheap. If you're poor, you probably weren't able to do so. This phenomenon has contributed to the increasing wealth disparity in the United States. Congrats on not being poor.
Until quite recently, spider silk had the highest tensile strength of any substance known to man, and the name silksteel pays homage to the arachnid for good reason.

1% of 10 million users on Steam - that's 100,000 people. Sounds like an important set of potential customers. (Source: peak of 11 million concurrent users logged in over the past 48 hours).

Watch YouTube videos, reality TV, sports, listen to canned music, eat fast food... the medium might change (air waves vs. internet), but people won't.

How long would it take for someone to spot something similar in a closed project? Forever?

If you're looking for a pre-existing library, then it wasn't written here, it was written there. This should be called invented there syndrome.

Would it be easier to go with an AMD laptop? Do they have similar firmwmare concerns?

So it made a profit?

This is what a mega-corporation can afford to do when it doesn't pay taxes.
Watch out - alcohol can really hit your framerate hard.
