As far as the U.S. college debt situation: look at who is running it: Government. Is adding more government to the problem going to solve it? Probably not.
It's not linear. If level L of government brings P problems, then it does not mean, that 2*L of government brings 2*P problems or L/2 government brings P/2 problems.
The elements do not break down. (Except radioactive ones.) Look: someone pointed out that diapers are a problem, someone else said "no, they degrade quickly". I knew that is not correct. So I spent 5 seconds to backup my claim with a link. I did not oppose reducing e-waste. I did not say that diapers cause birth defects. And I did not say that we can either spent resources on e-waste or divert them to diapers. I just said that disposable diapers do not degrade quickly. Did I express myself better now?
Instead of modding you down, I decided to correct you: Diapers are not made of piss and shit.
5 seconds in google brings this:
Not all diapers are biodegradable or eco-friendly. In fact, most diapers in use today are not. A typical disposable diaper takes hundreds of years to fully decompose - though nobody REALLY knows, since no disposables have been in the landfill that long! According to the EPA, potentially toxic waste is left to sit inside landfills in plastic diapers for centuries. The average baby (and there are LOTS of babies out there!) goes through nearly 7,000 diapers before potty training, making disposable diapers the 3rd-largest source of household waste in the U.S.
Forty years later the owners are still in the house, and they'll be there till they die.
To me it seems that the house works as expected.
no-one in their right mind would buy what they ended up with.
Oh, was the intent to sell the house once it is built? Well, that's probably a different task, isn't it?
The scenario is not unlike to the topic at hand. In many cases, the code is cobbled together to scratch an itch. The CS comes in when the project grows too much in size, has more developers, has to scale, has to withstand security attacks,...
The whole discussion is about: a) senior programmers say: eventually the project will get complex and you better hope it was designed by CS major b) MBAs say: the project will not get complex and duct-taping it together is good enough, let's move to another business opportunity.
If Trump wasn't and endless stream of idiocy, the media would have to come up with their own entertainment. But as it is now a great comedy show can be manufactured just by stringing together clips of Trump's own statements. No other staff needed. Cofefe.
This is how he got elected. People voted for whoever was breaking the conventions and rules that the voters blamed for their shitty life. They were not capable of understanding that their shitty life may get even worse and that international politics may impact them too. Perhaps they will grok it after Trump's (for a lack of better word) "politics" hits them where it hurts.
Is it still the case, that scripts have to be signed with code signing certificate before they can be run? Some time ago I wrote a small app. It needed an installation that adjusted one text file, copied the binaries and created a registry entry. Those actions depended on the installation path, so I thought "well, let's create a small powershell script that does that" - and I was sorely disappointed that I had to get a code signing certificate in order to get the powershell script working on end-user's system. wtf.
Look at their numbers. Nearly all is marketing, lobbyism and sales.
Nope. A lot of a pharma's budget is that, but unless you market, you don't sell. If you don't sell, you don't fund R&D. It's a balance.
Wait a second. You are saying that the result of research is being sold as result of... marketing? Like... not because - this may seem outragous to you, but - because the patients need it?
Or the patients would not know about the drug that can help them if it was not for the marketing? Isn't it doctor's job to know about the new drugs and tell the patient? Or is the marking you talk about marketing to doctors? In a TV, magazine ads and web banners?
So if they support Windows 7 until 2020 only on one machine in Redmond that is in the basement behind the doors with sign "beware of leopards" then it means they kept their promise "to support Windows 7 until 2020"?
These names get voted in because there is no trust that the results will be honored.
The fact that we do have "Boaty McBoatface" contradicts the claim that the results are not honored. But perhaps it's just an exception that proves the rule.
I wonder whether SpaceX drone ships names are a result of a vote (even if perhaps not a public vote)
Fun fact: There is a bridge in capital of Slovakia for which there was a popular vote. The winning name was "Chuck Norris Bridge". The vote was rejected, but Google Maps can still find that and for some time the label on Google Maps actually used that name despite the official name being different.
Yes, I should have mentioned that. I'm in Europe and the card is chip&pin (as is the case in most of EU, I believe). My main point still is: why the technical problems at Visa cause problems with payments in Europe? a) I assume that European chip&pin cards were affected. b) even if the authorization is done via "the net", doesn't that mean only "via network connection to the clearing center" and not "via network connection to Visa" ?
Getting notification from the bank is one thing. Money disappearing from your account is second. And money appearing on the merchant's account is third.
In fact a friend of mine had a situation where the merchant forgot to complete the transaction within a month period and the money that was "locked" on friend's account became unlocked again. From a legal point of view - after lengthy discussion with the bank - my friend got the goods for free.
I thought that the POS terminal talks to clearing center for the bank that issued the card. So normally if you have an account from a bank in your country, then it connects to the clearing center in that country. And the actual clearing happens in a relatively short window each night. Does the POS terminal actually talk to a VISA on each transaction?
In my opinion the culprit is Defender. I regularly test installation of a software suite that has the installation source of more than 2GB and it takes forever until W10 decides to actually start the installation. This is the case even though the installed files are signed and were copied from a network share to local disk - which triggers the Defender check first time. And I believe that Defender spends ages to verify even files signed by Microsoft.
iproute2 was added to Slackware in 2004. And ifconfig is still there. Are you perhaps using distro that is so much more conservative ( compared to Slackware ) that it still does not have "iproute2" ? Or a distro that is so broken that it removed "net-tools/ifconfig"?

You don't want to herd telemarketers. You want this.

What are you talking about? Latest Ubuntu has gcc 4.8.5. Last release of Slackware has 5.3 (-current has 8.1.1)
It often surprises me how much Ubuntu lags in package versions behind Slackware.

As an European, I find this mind boggling.
So I have the right to remain silent only about things that are incriminating?
This was answered long ago

We don't care. We don't have to. We are Microsoft.
