So a still fictional game get's to have its own Wikipedia page but the Nim programming language, in development and publicly available for years, only got to have a page a few days ago and is still under threat of deletion from rabid mods. WP truly has a fucked up sense of priority.
That is because this game doesn't have similar similar competing project with dedicated editors deleting references to competing projects, which is the primary cause of all deletion of IT projects on Wikipedia.
Analytics gathers data for google, they don't "sell" it. No one is sold personal info from Google, all they get to do is tell Google who they want to target and Google decides who gets to see it. The advertiser doesn't know things like your name, phone number, etc until you give it to them.
They sell it, but like all of these services, they sell it aggregated depersonalized, but that makes them no different from the rest of the companies doing this.
Was the Fed flooding the market with cash in 2007-08? I think it was the private banks that were creating liquidity (money) with those weird investment vehicles and loans. What the Fed failed at was not withdrawing money from the economy and running up interest rates to cool things down, but nobody wants an economic party pooper and they would have been savagely criticized for ending the good times.
Yes, and they still are. The interest rate is below inflation which means it is profitable for banks to loan money backed in random crap, because random crap appreciates at the rate of inflation. That is what subprime morgages was, and what is still happening because they are still allowed to loan under inflation.
Chip & PIN is a liability shift. You're expected to protect your PIN, so if your account is compromised, you're assumed to be at fault.
Britain has had a lot of trouble with this.
That is not how it works, but banks can tell if a withdrawal was done with correct PIN or with an old PINless fallback. If it was done with PIN, you will have a maximum personal liability of around 500EUR they won't cover, but they still cover the rest.
Agreed. Touching a competitor's setup at a trade fair is bush league.
I don't buy that "testing" defense for a second. If you're a company that large you test by buying a machine anonymously at retail, take it to your labs, complete a test plan, then take it apart the see the build and components. Just randomly poking at stuff before a trade show isn't even going to give you much data.
Doing this always breaks our machines. I wonder if our competitor has found a way to avoid it breaking?.... Oh, it appears not. How interesting.
Forcing code indentation is a sign you're going to be working with a bunch of "coders" who took a weekend course and not actual software engineers.
IMO, only lazy, inept, or noob programmers don't indent correctly. So if a language requires them to indent properly, they call it forced indentation because they usually don't indent correctly in other languages.
If I'm wrong, how many different ways can you indent the following code? for x in range(1,10):
for y in range(1,10):
if someCondition:
result[x][y] = a[x][y] + b[x][y]
Read parent again.
The issue is this: database.execute(
"SELECT col"
"FROM table"
"WHERE y" );
Correct SQL indentation, allowed and easy in a sane language, impossible to do in a stupid language with forced indentation rules that only applies the language itself.
The idea that Battleships are obsolete is also rather dumb to be honest. It's too financially efficient though for the Gov't to keep ships we already built in service rather than spend hundreds of billions of dollars on new concept ships that suck.
The problem is they are vulnerable to air-attacks so they need a screen like a carrier, but is less useful than a carrier. So why not have a carrier, or just smaller ships with cannons that are cheaper and cost less to lose?
A bridge to Denmark would be a bit too long (and silly), and Finns doesn't want to be any closer to Sweden, so a bridge to Stockholm over Åland is probably out of the question.
How has their position changed? Nuclear was their primary focus as an energy source in 1990, and is still a part of the strategy to move away from fossil fuels, the only shift is that other renewable energy source have grown more viable.
Apparently it hasn't, but there was a single report being more sceptic about nuclear power, but it was only a single one, and not they are back to supporting it fully.
And then of couse their optimism in whether anyone are paying attention to their recommendations has changed, and is rather tragic if a bit funny reading.
What do you mean with "about time"? They have been recommending Nuclear in every single report since 1990, with only one report being slightly more sceptic and the most recent grouping nuclear with renewables, just like the very first one.
Yes there is. Fox news is officially on record for saying they are an entertainment channel. That is their excuse for broadcasting lies as news, it is the only reason they are allowed to broadcast lies as news, because their news show is just "entertainment". No other news network has had to make such a defense, or needed to because no other news network deliberately broadcast lies as news.
> A snuff film is a motion picture genre that depicts the actual murder of a person or people, without the aid of special effects, for the express purpose of distribution and entertainment or financial exploitation.
So no, they didn't post a snuff film.
You think there were special effects use? or that Fox is not in the entertainment industry or in any industry to make money at all?
Compiler warnings have mostly caught up with the capabilities of Lint. There are some things Lint still does, but there are lots of things it warns about that have, as far as I know, never been the cause of a real bug. Getting a project to be 100% warning free with gcc -Wall is possible, and usually possible with -Wextra (maybe not so much with g++). The warnings usually are valuable, and I've personally seen bugs that could have been caught with gcc's warnings. Other compilers have other warnings and personalities, but I think it's worthwhile to investigate using warnings to check out a project with any compiler.
To make it easy and fast use -Wall -Werror. That way you don't have to skim the log, but can just run make and come back when it breaks, and keep going until it compiles. Remember to remove -Werror later though otherwise compiler updates can bite you.
Negotiations are negotiations, if the US press one issue above all else, those other issues that might have benefited the US might not get through, plus the other side gets to get some of their stuff through.
No, this is not rational, this is just narrowminded thinking by people who haven't realized even fucking mobile games is a bigger industry than Hollywood now.

They actually don't sell it.
You REALLY don't know what Google Analytics is??
This is how it is across USA politics.
You seem to believe it's somehow different in other countries.
It is. As always the US is "leading" ;)

But google is the only ad company that doesn't sell your info.
Never heard of Google analytics? What exactly do you think they are doing?
Come on, it would have been surprised if they did encrypt the data in a decent way,...
What is the point of encrypting private data when you are secretely violating someone's privacy?
Don't let other see what you type. It is not that hard and is what you told and they print on every terminal.

The US already has laws for that.
The US also has laws against fraud and racketeering. Doesn't seem to apply to companies over a certain size.
Citation please?
Proof that it doesn't happen? How would that work?
How about you show me cases where marketing boses or CEOs of a large company is indicted for fraud when they do fraudulent marketing?
The US already has laws for that.

"SELECT colFROM tableWHERE y" not correct syntax. ;) /picky
Good catch. Should have tested my pseudocode before publishing.

There's no good way to match the rate of high explosive delivery a battleship could implement in support of an amphibious attack.
Two 2,000 pound shells every minute from each of 9 guns is throughput an F-35 just can't touch.
Using bombers instead of fighters might help?

Cut it over to .de or .dk, a real country.

and big naval guns are not used as mortars, so the fact that a rail gun is not a mortar replacement is not news. what's your point?
They are not? What do you think they are used for then?
Sorry big naval guns are often used beyond the horizon and for shelling the land. This is all what you call "like a mortar".
The direct fire guns are for aircraft defense and replaced by lasers not railguns.
