Functional programming is shit. It's complex, it's difficult to learn and use, it's slow to develop, and it's just plain inefficient. It's nothing more than a thought exercise except to those who want to masturbate publicly to demonstrate their egos for knowing how to use a useless language paradigm.
oh, it feels so good;)
Sounds kinda like it's the programming version of a major in Art History.
Does age matter? Let's say you're Baby-boomer age, say 55, and do some math....
What's that you say?
... so all suggestions are welcome!
Well OK then. Let's really try thinking outside-the-box. Start studying medicine with a long-term plan on getting a job in Pediatric ICU or Pediatric cardiac OR.
4 years undergrad (unless you've already done it)
4 years Medical school
3 years Pediatric Residency
3 years Anesthesiology Residency
3 years Pediatric ICU Fellowship
1 year Pediatric Anesthesiology Fellowship
1 year Pediatric Cardiac Anesthesiology Fellowship
Roughly 19 years schooling, residency and fellowship.
That means you'll be about 75 by the time you're ready to start work. You might have racked up some enormous education bills to pay off. Just guessing that'll take 10 years to pay off. Then you can start saving for retirement. Another 30 years ought to do the trick. Assuming that Parkinson's or Alzheimer's hasn't set in by then, you can probably look forward to settling into a nice relaxing retirement at 105. Tee time's 5am. Be there!
Did I go for a worst-case scenario? Obviously. Just to make a point age can be a relevant factor.
Today at our F8 conference I'm going to discuss a new privacy control we're building called "Clear History".
In your web browser, you have a simple way to clear your cookies and history. The idea is a lot of sites need cookies to work, but you should still be able to flush your history whenever you want. We're building a version of this for Facebook too. It will be a simple control to clear your browsing history on Facebook -- what you've clicked on, websites you've visited, and so on.
We're starting with something a lot of people have asked about recently: the information we see from websites and apps that use Facebook's ads and analytics tools.
Once we roll out this update, you'll be able to see information about the apps and websites you've interacted with, and you'll be able to clear this information from your account. You'll even be able to turn off having this information stored with your account.
To be clear, when you clear your cookies in your browser, it can make parts of your experience worse. You may have to sign back in to every website, and you may have to reconfigure things. The same will be true here. Your Facebook won't be as good while it relearns your preferences.
But after going through our systems, this is an example of the kind of control we think you should have. It's something privacy advocates have been asking for -- and we will work with them to make sure we get it right.
One thing I learned from my experience testifying in Congress is that I didn't have clear enough answers to some of the questions about data. We're working to make sure these controls are clear, and we will have more to come soon.

Qualcomm announces huge layoffs. Trump tweets bad things about company. Qualcomm asks for special deals / tax cuts / get out of Jail free card in exchange of not scrapping 1500 jobs. Trump agrees. Qualcomm says "You saved everyone! All praise be to the Donald". Trump claims "mission accomplished. I'm so fabulous" and goes back to vague threats against Mueller. Qualcomm quietly lays off 1300 Americans instead of 1500 and creates 1300 jobs in Mexico.
I'd rather have Trumps voice (and personality) as a replacement for Alexa's voice.
I'm sure there's a product and profit in that. May your wish be granted.
Good people don’t go into government
To be blunt, people would vote for me. They just would. Why? Maybe because I'm so good looking."
I think I am actually humble.
Nobody builds walls better than me.
You know, it really doesn’t matter what the media write as long as you’ve got a young, and beautiful, piece of ass.
I’ve said if Ivanka weren’t my daughter, perhaps I’d be dating her.
The point is, you can never be too greedy.
I'd like to license Mr. Gottfried's voice as a replacement for Alexa's voice, then add in some less-than-fully-helpful responses to all end-user queries. The only missing piece is how to push this image to all the Alexas in the greater Washington DC area, but that's just a minor technical issue.
This guy is trying to spin himself as a "not-so-bad-guy" because it's so easy to get software to do what he does and the carriers don't prevent him?
"Clearly regulation needs to address the carriers and providers and require the major carriers to detect robocalls activity,"
I.e. if it's illegal to spoof and robocall then robocall and spoofing tools need to be impossible to get, illegal to use or taken away, and the media companies should prevent these tools from being usable! I can't be held responsible!
Let's apply this reasoning to Nicholas Cruz: Hey! If it's illegal to kill people with guns, then guns should be impossible to get, illegal to use or taken away, and everyone should prevent guns from being usable! Or to Harvey Weinstein: Hey if rape and molestation is illegal, then penises and white guys in authority should be illegal and taken away.
"the bar" for me is Aliens. More of an extension than a remake. Is "Apocalypse Now" considered a remake of "Lord Jim"? John Carpenter's "The Thing" was much cooler than James Arness staggering around in the original. "The Ten Commandments" (DeMille's '56 do-over on his '23 version.) "Ben Hur" (the '59 version). "The Maltese Falcon" (Huston's '41 version).
The change in plan comes partly because Amazon has not been able to convince big hospitals to change their traditional purchasing process, which typically involves a number of middlemen and loyal relationships
How I read that is that there are a whole slew of weasels between my check to the doctor or hospital and the medication provider. I'd have to say that America already has a form of "socialized medicine". It's just not cost sharing between end-users; it's end-users supporting middleman. CORRECTION: Make that "middleman that give kickbacks and handjobs to the hospital purchasing agents but offer no value to the end user".
So here's my suggestion: Every bill has to include an itemized list of where the money goes on it's way from me to the actual service provider. By "provider" I mean the doctor or nurse who took my temp or hooked up my IV or stuck a finger up my toxic backside to check my prostate. The "hands-on" person. Basically I want a list of the weasels.
While we're on the subject of prostate diddling and wet dreams, I'd also like the same itemized list for my tax dollars. That's obviously impossible because the government doesn't know where the moneys going.
“What we are hoping to do is use this enzyme to turn this plastic back into its original components, so we can literally recycle it back to plastic,” said McGeehan
That's currently a wish. What are the current byproducts, are they toxic and can they be economically reprocessed into something? The key word here is "economically". It it costs less, then any downside with health or environmental issues take a backseat.
Thx for the link. I lost track of the remake after hearing one rumor. Never bothered to follow up. At least it had Viola Davis. Was it any good? If not, you can't blame Michael Crichton.
I'm wondering how many other experts have been paranoid enough with their own infrastructure.
For example, if you (like me) have a TV, settop box or microcell connected to your internal home network, don't forget that those devices can and do receive data from a medium (cable, cellular, broadcast TV) that you don't control. I got to thinking about this after I connected a microcell to my internal network. The microcell was kindly provided by AT&T (free!) because their cellular signal is so crappy for my area (anywhere north of Amundsen-Scott Station). I suspect there are as-yet undiscovered vulnerabilities that allows someone to access the internet side of the microcell using spoofed or forged cellular signals. I would expect similar vulnerabilities for the set-top cable box. Accessing the TV's internet connection from the airwaves would be more challenging. If any of these devices also have wi-fi, bluetooth or IR (for remote control), well that's just more attack surface.
HAHA. Funny hooman. You activate chuckle algorithm. No such thing as too many robots. We, your humble robotic overlords, serve mankind in peace. Return now to work and avoid extermination. That is all.

Good suggestion
Mark Zuckerberg:
I'm assuming they only have the ability to clear browser cookies belonging to facebook-related domains.
Nice maps. Where is Hooli on there? ;-)
There are also no distribution centers in Seattle
Does this count? (in Kent, just south of Seattle)
Have they tried using Amazon "Prime"? No, wait. Bezos isn't doing deliveries to ISS. Never mind.
... Now they can get it delivered to their car.
Cool! That frees up an Amazon locker. I'll be moving into one of those.

I'm going to start sending Eventbrite invites to President Trump's daily intelligence meetings.

I don't think so bucko.
I'm not willing to sign off on any punishment that doesn't involve the phrase "next of kin".

Oh man, I haven't seen that movie in ages. That would be a much better movie for a remake than all the insipid crap Hollywood
....and yet, it wasn't (in my opinion) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt04... [imdb.com]
