Nope, eating refined sugar by the spoon doesn't have the same effect as eating whole fruit, taking cholesterol pills doesn't have the same effect as eating eggs and apparently eating red yeast doesn't screw your liver. While pills have been tested for less than half a century, natural food has been tested by humans and our primate ancestors for millennia. Most importantly, it's not for FDA to ban and for private companies to patent stuff that people have been eating long before patents or regulations were conceived.
I work on one of the world's most influential computing platforms and I am 40. One of my most respected coworkers is 65 and nearly everyone has grown kids. Age has very little bearing on one's career and respect. I had a great job at 20 and I have a great job now. If you are not getting traction in a particular company or living area, do look around.
(And of course age by itself doesn't guarantee success over younger folks either)
Red rice yeast is as effective as statins at lowering cholesterol, without liver side effects statin pills. Yet FDA bans sale of supplements calibrated to have enough active components.
Pot has helped millions to get measurable relieve from debilitating conditions. Yet federal government still considers it to be highly addictive and without medical value.
Countless food additives have been banned in most of the world outside US and most countries require clear labeling of genetically modified foods? Are our government scientists that much smarter?
FDA review process denies potentially life saving treatments for many years, even to people who are about to die without them anyway.
With this kind of track record, it's no wonder people are suspicious about other things. If a vaccine killed 10% of people compared to statistically saved lives, would YOU trust our government to admit to that?
I don't see why a dealership would rather sell a gasoline car rather than an electric car. They are not a gas station and Tesla is rather expensive, presumably resulting in a larger sales commission. On the other hand, buyers would benefit from having multiple options for returns, resale, repairs and bargin shopping for older models. Also, if Tesla goes belly up, there is still hope of multi-brand dealerships offering at least some continued services.
If all you need is one application, switching OS is not as much of a deal for you or a statement on the underlying platforms than choices of consumers who use at least a dozen of apps. Software development costs are probably a very small part of general Ford R&D costs. If they found a more economical or convenient option, more power to them!
I am actually open to the concept that both wired and wireless internet providers are natural monopolies. Laying cables to EVERY residence is expensive and duplicating the work is wasteful. Wireless spectrum is limited and having it a disposal of a single entity provides a best chance of optimizing use.
HOWEVER, natural monopolies must be heavily regulated. If Comcast wants to be one, it should be no more in charge of creating or providing video programming than your water utility should be in charge of making soda. I highly doubt that's what they want, but that may well be what we need.
Of course, there should be no restrictions on competition that manages to succeed even when natural monopoly is allowed to exist. If someone manages to use power lines or sewer pipes to provide fast internet, or finds it economical to lay their own wires or laser beams after all, more power to them.
Once you allow custom software and especially device drivers to run on a box, it is theoretically impossible to automatically discover what that software is capable of doing. Any workarounds are sleazy in some way. Even basic DRM hides stuff and restricts rights of the legitimate owner of the hardware and software.
In this case, the alternative is no or ineffective VAC and, accordingly, not much fun in multiplayer games. I guess it would be nice if Valve gave users the option to opt out of VAC and play on special open servers or only with specific trusted players.
We already know that matter and energy are quantized and there is a stupendous, but still finite, number of states that can exist in a given volume of space. So we are already in a discrete machine. I guess one question is weather it's created on purpose by intelligent beings, or weather simulation is run on the hardware with much less memory than the theoretically simulated object. Should we start looking for JPEG compression artifacts?
Unlike making a copy of open source software, every access to Maps or YouTube servers costs money. Giving the cloud away without any revenue or strategic advantage is not a valuable business model.
What other choices are expected besides licencing Google cloud services, rolling your own or doing without?
Was it two weekends or two months? How were people with family or other commitments treated? Was hard work rewarded with bonuses, comp time, cool parties?
I don't think it's reasonable to expect any manager to get timeline of a half a year project down to a couple of days, or hire people only needed for 10 days per year. As long as corporate culture is heathy, hard work CAN be a badge of honor.
If you are, consider using a plain, unwrapped XMLHttpRequest, and whatever other changes they want the price of doing business. All app stores have obnoxious rules and incompetent individual reviewers.
If not, why would you want to reward a company unless they make your life pleasant. Move on to more open platforms. On Android users can side load apps without anyone's approval and with recent SDK release you should be able to display your Plex content on an $35 chrome cast dongle.
I would gladly pay $60 to at&t for a better coverage than my $40 T-Mobile plan. But their bill comes to $90 by the time you add texting and then I would still go over the data limit and get charged god knows what. So it got to the point where I compromise by having a phone that usually works rather than breaking the bank for 100% coverage.
I wish Safeway has thought of this. A grocery store would be a place people without bank accounts would already come on regular basis, and they already have a secure way of handling cash. Either physical or online crime against a company that has no experience handling it is not going to be pretty.
If they are not useful for charging on the go, it's dead weight that hurts efficiency. Also I am sure the car gets very hot from concentrated solar power.
There are horrible costs to the individual, the country and the planet for anyone to have children they don't want are not able to support. Contraception should be offered for free and by default to everyone reaching the age of about 14. If we fail at voluntary measures and financial support, we are looking at misery, sick planet and China-style forced single child policies in a decade or two.
Do you really invest the time in spring and fall to swap incandescents and CFLs in the shed? If not, purchasing a cheap and perfectly legal electric heater sounds like a better solution that lets you control heat separately from light. Don't baby chicks like to feel warm while also getting some darkness to sleep?
There is simply a requirement for modest efficiency improvement. It's market driven and lights with your prefered price, longevity and color temperature will be available before long. Bush, the most anti-environment and "pro-business" president in US history signed the law!
There is simply no rational reason for backlash or hoarding old bulbs. The right thing to do is to still offer them, but for the same price as LEDs, with additional profit donated to environmental and charitable causes. Voluntary taxation at its best!
Explain that they have options which are pretty secure, but different from the exact UI they are used to (Chromebook, Windows RT, iOS). Then there is OSX, which does run MS Office and is sort of secure, but still lets you shoot yourself in the foot if you go to some length. Or they can stick with x86 Windows and hope for the best. Then be honest about your own time commitment in fixing any messes.
Then let them make a choice like adults. Hopefully they modeled all of the above steps during your formative years.
At first there was a lot of grumbling and the first gen of CFLs certainly had issues. Now there are $10 LEDs and everyone has gotten used to slightly different lightning and stopped complaining. When the rules are made clear, marketplace responds with solutions. The world would have been such a better place if Bush also launched mandatory, subsidized health insurance and a mandate to cut carbon emissions by half in a decade. Then Obama could have tried single payer and 100% clean energy and got shot down while we would have something that frigging works like the outdated lightbulb ban.
+1 for a chrome book. If you are starting from one device, its important that it does everything that you need. With a tablet, its not practical to type more than a paragraph or two of text. So its better to start with a laptop and then add secondary devices if you need them.
Plus, if its not the right choice, you are only $200 out.
When there is a neighbor openly advertising just how hard it strives to keep employees happy? I made a jump myself after concluding that the technology is interesting but there is nothing I. It for me.

No idea about the legal aspects, but given the images that the name brings to mind I think I would pass on its services.
