It not only sounds bad, it sounds illegal. H1B workers must, by law, be paid the same as a resident worker, and get the same benefits.
Which raises a question: I'm not sure if it is legal to pay a H1B worker *more* than a normal worker. So, if you're forced to pay a H1B worker $110K, and your normal staff currently happens to earn $95K, do you (a) raise your salaries to match, or (b) tick off your current staff so they quit?
And then, once you've established Google as a well-known and respected brand name, discard the name and change it to something completely different and unremarkable.
Safety devices like reinforced doors and crumple zones give more protection against other morons. So do better brakes and sticky tyres, although they aren't usually considered as safety devices.
Things like blind spot monitoring and automatic braking are crutches for bad drivers, as the OP said.
In the end, though, people are much more likely to buy a new car because of the infotainment system than any safety device.
Clearly not. Nobody introduces a new product at the *beginning* of a quarter; but by announcing for April then slipping it to June, they buy 2 months but don't anger the shareholders, since it's the same quarter.
I have this nagging feeling that Mozilla is about to do something monumentally stupid to Firefox. An un-skippable 5 second splash screen? Removal of the Back button? Permanent removal of the Menu Bar? Auto-hiding scroll bars? Remove the ability to use Firefox without logging in to a Firefox account? Disable your mouse's scroll wheel in favor of Auto-scrolling? Forced telemetry?
If you're going to move up to the big league, and compete with the likes of Microsoft, you need to prove that you can make corporate decisions just like Microsoft.
If there is one thing that they have shown us is that there is nothing that they wont do.
Yeah, maybe next release they will *only* support the left mouse button, and ignore anything else. Nah, I'm being cynical here - no major corporation would ever do anything as stupid as only supporting one mouse button.
I'm sure they could just turn the one giant telescope around and look through the earth if they wanted to observe stars only visible from the other hemisphere.
Yeah, the designers of the Earth should really have had it spin on an axis, so that you get a varying view of the sky. Then you could just locate your telescope near the equator, and see every star.
Students have no expectation of privacy when using school supplied computer systems (Reichert v. Elizabethtown College).
Students have no expectation of privacy *from the school*. They have every expectation of privacy from a random company not associated with the school system.
Say you buy a backyard pool for the kids. You allow the pool installer into your back yard while they're working. A month later, your 13 year old daughter is swimming in her bikini; as your dad, it's ok to take a picture. If the swimming pool installer snuck in and started taking pictures of her, would you be creeped out? In this case, Google is acting just like a pedophile - closely watching kids even when they said that they would not.
How about we agree on what is meant by "male" and "female" before going off on some wild study? If the study *had* shown a discernable difference, which gender would it have expected Caitlin Jenner's brain to show up as?
This also saves them from having to create and maintain common tools / libraries / objects / etc., which always takes WAY more time and effort than just reinventing the wheel. It also gives their hard-working build farm a break from the obnoxious overload of needing to build *two* projects, instead of sitting idle and cooling off.
Since Linux users make up 1% of the market share (I'm not sure the % for gamers, but could be lower), I'll doubt they'll lose sleep over it.
Now that the Steam Box is on the market, there is a growing demand for high-end gaming graphics on Linux. That sound you hear is nVidia laughing all the way to the bank.
My god man.. they changed the strings from "Catalyst" to "Radeon".
I'd love to be there when they do the year-end performance reviews in a few weeks..... "I personally updated 632 source files to conform with our new marketing paradigm".
So now there's no Gnome or KDE on anything but Linux.
There are many of us made happy by that. One less thing to remove from our systems.
To the original question, though: the answer is yes, you can run anything you want on a system with no systemd. That's the point of open source; you can do whatever you want. If systemd really bugs you that much, just build yourself a system without it.
The useless employees were disproportionately female.
It's a little more subtle.
- Microsoft bought Nokia
- Nokia was a company that was much more enlightened than Microsoft, and actually had some female employees
- Now Microsoft is canning a bunch of those people
And so - the layoffs are disproportionally female compared to *Microsoft* standards, not compared to Nokia standards, and not compared to other sane companies.
That isn't stopping the incredible growth in the marketplace for drones.
I'd expect a personal drone (i.e. one that can carry you as a payload) to be available way way before a personal hovercraft. Just watch out for the rotating knives.

The claim is that overall errors have been reduced but not eliminated.
But with zero testing, how would they know?

Most H1B jobs are in computer programming and hardware design; no PII is involved. Your proposal would have essentially zero effect.
Maybe that's why I didn't see any Teslas cruising around Vegas on my last trip,
There's a Tesla *dealership* in Vegas, out west of the airport.
There are also quite a few charging locations. https://www.teslamotors.com/fi...
100% of the water in the entire Colorado river system is already spoken for; there is no extra for anything new.
However, if they shut down the fountain at the Bellagio, they'll have more than enough water for the factory.
And then, once you've established Google as a well-known and respected brand name, discard the name and change it to something completely different and unremarkable.
People running obsolete systems feed botnets and impede others from staying current.
This. The title of this article is very slanted; how about "SHA-1 Cutoff Will Shut Down Insecure Access" instead?

Ugh..there is virtually NOTHING I hate more than having to write documentation, I avoid it at all costs.
Kind of like flossing?
Seriously - if you want someone to like something and help out, FLOSS might be a bad name.
3- This is not the last delay.

I remember a different attempt. I believe they missed the left turn at Albuquerque.
the European E-ELT now being built in Chile.
Funny, I'd have thought that astronomers would have taken at least *one* course in geography.

some large companies, such as Google (gmail) and Microsoft (outlook), might want to get rid of the competition
How is gmail (an email provider, with a web UI) competition to Thunderbird (an email client)?
I use Thunderbird to read and send emails on my gmail account; pretty sure I'm not the only one.

Yeah, I expected the video to give tips on wearing a push-up bra, short skirt, and 6 inch heels.
Methinks you don't understand how 'magic' works. It is a tag, embedded inside the file, that identifies the file type.
Since it is inside the file, it is far harder to change than a simple rename operation.
They sink when the power fails.
