I actually wonder if there won't be more impulse style stops. Maybe not the "their sign looks cools, I'll check them out" type stops but more general.
"I could go for a cheese burger" type thinking that leads someone to say "Siri continue our trip home but add a stop someplace where I can get a cheeseburger to go" --> "Ok I found a Brazier Burger for you, and added a via point we will be there in 15min"
When you make getting those things an entirely passive prospect of just sitting there why the machine make it happen, and you go on watching Game of Thrones on your iPad I think you are more likely to do that stuff not less. Now it means 1/2 hour of sitting in traffic driving while bored.
Here in American traditionally we don't consider state governments unimportant. The original role of the federal government was to regulate and deal with justice for matters that logically and usually impact people across multiple states.
Rape does not usually happen over state lines, so most of the time there is no reason for the feds to be a party to the investigation, prosecution, or penalization of it.
You'll will note I started by indicting the individuals before I suggested society has failed. You are assuming by society I mean government. Government might be part of it but it isn't the whole of it.
The new economic reality for most people is you won't just not spend your whole career at the same company, you also won't do it working the same type of job. So yes have to continue to learn to do well, you have to be willing to take appropriate risks and exercise opportunities that come along. So why did these people not do that, why were they still aboard the sinking ship that was a bankrupt company when the doors closed?
Was that 13 years of government education not effective? I think we have to start there actually, my feeling is despite the fact there are a number of good dedicated teachers out there our 19th century education model isn't a good fit for the education requirements of today. I am not an expert in education so I don't have solutions but I can see that its broken. I also don't think just more and longer education is the answer either otherwise many people with 4 year degrees would not have been hit so hard. Maybe in fact primary and secondary school should be shorter and it should be normal to go to work for a time before higher education?
Has society come a part to the point where people can't get additional education. Do people not know and trust anyone enough around them to watch their kids for the evening so they can take a class? Have we broken up families, family units and the idea of familiar responsibility to the point people have no resources to turn to? Has the risk become to great, do people not have enough savings to risk taking a job that might not work out and having to find another? Why don't we having savings as a nation? Could it be the central bank keeps rates to low for two long? Have wages been flat because of to much regulation sucking profitability out? Do we now mandate individuals divert to much of there income to things that might not be appropriate for them like certain forms of insurance? Are we asking young people who should be building wealth early and as fast as possible so they can benefit form compounding to shoulder crushing tax burdens and provide subsidies to previous generations?
I am a conservative small government guy, many would label me radically so in fact. I am also not naive government is already big, and therefore the policies it makes have real consequences. Yes I would love to sign on to a plan of starve it until its small enough to fit in a bath tub so we can than drown it but we need to take some steps along the way. We need to identify what statist policy of the the last 60 years has broken in our society and stitch some of that back to together. We need to identify policy that does work so we don't throw the baby out with the bath. We need to look at how the economy has changed and make sure we are designing and offering solutions for 2016 and not 1976.
1) Its a shame that we now have more unemployed people. While many of them are somewhat to blame in terms of not taking the initiative and updating their own skills having a post Hostess employment plan etc, I think we can agree there were challenges as well. Society has failed structurally to provide many with the opportunities and tools to keep a viable career path open for their working lifetime.
2) This is really pretty cool. There is a lot more competition in the packaged food space than when the twinkie first graced the scene. Its also true the relative cost of the goods twinkes were originally created as a substitute for have pretty well fallen to levels where twinkie does not make a lot of sense as a replacement good in economic terms. So what we have here is a very niche product, one that could not be offered economically using last centuries technology. Thanks to labor savings and efficiency though the die hard twinkie lovers can get them, and the rest of use vary occasional twinkie consumers can know there will be on on the shelf of our local grocery! The production, supply, and distribution chain is efficient enough to give us a crazy amount of choices!
An office who pulls you over for a traffic stop has no way to know you don't plan to shoot him either. Should they just run you off the road in stead? Maybe fire a some sort of rocket at your car?
1) This reporting is wildly inaccurate, and misses key details, like for example only part of the implantation must be completed in two weeks or similar.
2) Putin is doing this for political cover, he has intelligence there is going to be another terror attack in Russia or one of its surrogates. The intel is not good enough to prevent it, but he wants to look like he is 'doing something'. The argument will be if only people had got out of his way an let him do this sooner the tragedy would have been avoided. It both bolsters his strongman persona and gives an excuse to expanding executive power.
3) Putin is created a legal excuse to punish people who are otherwise political enemies, noncompliance with this new law will provide a legal cover an a veneer of legitimacy.
4) Putin is perfectly aware this is impossible but it will produce a flurry of activity from people who will be trying desperately to save the careers by at least appearing to comply in good faith, in hopes others will take the blame for the obvious eventual failure. Putin plans to utilize all this activity as a distraction to enable some other covert objective to be completed.
They really ought to just exercise the option unless the buyer is someone they really really want to work with. Its a lot of money and it would be very good for the foundation to get that money.
There are DIY ECUs look at systems like Mega Squirt. As far as EPA goes the law says you have to leave emission control equipment in place, so they cat stays, vaper recover, and gas re-circulation stays but you can tune however you like.
Many places test emissions etc, technically yes you have to always comply with emissions requirements for the model year, practically you only have to do that if you live some where that has testing.
Well yes and no, there are some surprises from time to time. Like you might expect passing arch=i486 to gcc would give you code that would run on a 486, not always unless you pass other options as well. The problem is testing on the latest x64 chip means you are going to have a super set of the the i686 ISA in most cases, and with the wrong compiler flags or kernel build options, you might discover it really does not work on older hardware.
Yes, you can run 64-bit software on it, but should you?
Yes you should, without a doubt, unless you know for sure the main bottleneck for your application will be memory.
The 64-bit modes offer more registers, and instructions that can do more operations per cycle as well as other optimized instructions. In most cases the performance will be much better!
Well, that is the cynical view. I am not sure its all that customer unfriendly though. I for one feel the plan on my handset is a bit restrictive, I have to pay a little more attention to my usage than i would like, but the next size up before now was a lot more than i would use most months.
I suspect a lot of people are in the same boat. My usage has trended upward over time, I used to use 200MB a month on average just a few years ago. Now i am often around 500 or so. I have come darn near my 1GB cap around holidays where people are sending tons of pictures, though on occasion. This year if I don't "put a lid" on people sending giant iMessages to me around that time, I am sure I'll go over given my base usage has increased.
My guess would be most peoples data usage trends upward. Overages are very expensive on cost per MB basis compared with this proposed plan adjustment. It makes some sense that the plans would need to be 'right sized' every few years to me.
See this is problem with free trade right here though. If this thing was manufactured in the states, then the company could probably be held to account one way or another for repairing or replacing faulty products. Sure they might decided to get rid of the engineer who designed this thing, but ultimately they would have some incentive to fix their internal process and try and do some QA.
Being its a no-name Chinese made product the company will likely just rename itself and be quite beyond the reach of the people it sold faulty products to, at least out of reach of any reasonably effort to hold them to account. So there are really no consequences for bad behavior. Shove a bunch a crap out the door than disappear, its how these guys operate.
Now am all for buyer beware - laissez faire - but its not fair to engineers, and workers in the developed westernized world to have to compete against this sorta crap. The typical consumer does not know IoT electrical socket might have an appreciably different quality level depending on from whom they buy a few.
The big deal is that I think they want to get away from numbered versions of Windows. My gut tells me they are trying to basically go to a rolling release + subscription model.
Which makes sense from a support prospective. It also permanently solves the problem of stupid device makers that tie their product to a specific Windows version.
Come on now, this is not the days of the 80486 anymore. There is no x86 architecture, only an x86 instruction set which although has some warts really isn't bad, its main problem, insufficient registers is addressed completely by x64 variant (thanks AMD). All modern x86/x64 CPUs use a very RISC like architecture, or micro architecture if you prefer, and basically translate the CISC x86 instructions to multiple micro instructions on the backend, the decoder being simpler and faster than most of the rest of chip means there is basically no penalty here, it just isn't bottleneck not in terms of die space, not in terms of clock speed capability.
Rest assured when you a single ARM core approaching anything near the performance of its top drawer x86/x64 counter parts it will be because the that chip has become more like today top line x86/x64 parts in just about every way except perhaps the exposed ISA.
TL;DR - x64 has nothing to do with that first and worst architecture, other than some legacy but more or less virtual instructions.
From my perspective yes, they have their own governments that should be looking out for their interests, the job of the US is to look out for the interests of US citizens.
Um know that is mostly on Clinton, its the executives jobs to make sure that the laws are implemented and enforced. Clinton should have been saying "show me the fiber" or show our federal prosecutors and a court how you are otherwise complying with the law.
So what you are saying is the Obama should have gone along with the proposed budgets and debt ceiling legislation put forward by the House because appropriations is their role not his.
For example without additional modifications to the kernel does the scheduler know that not running your scan process essentially will cause I/O to stall for every other process?
Microsoft very sensibly provided kernel interfaces to address these issues, and was not going to allow these vendors to hook parts of the kernel during the run up to NT 6.x. They all got their panties in a twist though and cried that it would prevent them from innovating, the result is they have to deal with all these little interaction problems themselves, its actually harder than it looks and leads to bugs, either in terms of security or emergent behaviors and performance problems.
Additionally you are not permitted to proceed on green until all those who entered in the other directions of travel before the signal went red for them have exited the intersection.
Once you legally enter, eg on green or even yellow if you could not have stopped safely you have the right of way until you exit, not the person with the now green light.
I don't disagree with that at all. Its my responsibility to follow the rules though, and its their responsibility to have security watching to make sure people do it. It IS NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE A SECURITY SOLUTION FOR THEM.

Two ways to look at things.
1) Its a shame that we now have more unemployed people.

Possibilities in order of likelihood

5) Putin has totally left the reservation.

Right because some other peoples bad behavior in the past is an excuse to behave poorly today.

There is no reason to assume.
There is every reason to assume.
You don't know the ransomeware was the only payload, there could be something still there you don't know about.
You don't know that after the exfil job was completed the software did not self delete those parts of it.
You don't necessarily know how it got there, and if something else could be delivered the same way in the future.
I agree. You can only assume the ransom ware is not doing anything other than for cash shake down to get the encryption keys.
The reality is someone had code execution on your stuff and access to files. Its a breach, I think this is pretty strait forward.
To suggest otherwise rates right up their with "kinetic military action"
From my perspective yes, they have their own governments that should be looking out for their interests, the job of the US is to look out for the interests of US citizens.
That's partly on Clinton
Um know that is mostly on Clinton, its the executives jobs to make sure that the laws are implemented and enforced. Clinton should have been saying "show me the fiber" or show our federal prosecutors and a court how you are otherwise complying with the law.
He did not do that.
So what you are saying is the Obama should have gone along with the proposed budgets and debt ceiling legislation put forward by the House because appropriations is their role not his.
I completely agree, he has governed in bad faith.
Well that is harder than it sounds, in practice.

MY PHONE should obey MY instructions. If I say take of picture of something it should do so, not ask some third party not me if its alright.
What I do with the phone is my responsibility.
