Tesla pointed out (from market research) that the main barrier to electric cars isn't range, range is already good enough for many people, but cost. So Tesla is working to get the cost down, not to extend the range. Range extension will come later, I guess.
What are you talking about? Workforce participation by working age adults is dropping fast. We are at levels not seen since the 1970's, when women participation was half what it is now.
Nah, even U6 is below 10% now, which means the people who are not working really, really do not want to work. They are old and retired or whatever.
This is the sort of thing you hear from Windows devs in a bubble. Visual Studio is the best.......only for C# and.NET. The fact is it doesn't even have basic refactoring tools, something that even Eclipse has had for a decade. Visual Studio without Resharper is really a pain. With Resharper, Visual Studio becomes tolerable, and you have to pay for it. And this only relevant if you prefer the kind of corporate development environment of Java/C# (which in many cases is the right choice). If you prefer the freedom of dynamic languages like Python, or low level languages like C, or for some reason think Node is King, then Visual Studio is a joke that will leave you crying. It's not even a competitor.
Incidentally, the reason VS was better than Eclipse a decade ago was because it was easier to set up projects. Not anymore, Eclipse has advanced past VS in that category.
If there's a regular posted schedule of when parking is not allowed due to street sweeping then maybe it would work to get those people to not park there next time.
Yeah, that's the goal. But there are usually one or two cars remaining on every block from people who didn't understand.
Slashdot has had gambling stories (especially around people trying to beat the casino through math) at least since the book Bringing Down the House was published.
I think sweeper cars would be perfect, nobody would care if they drive at 10 mph with the yellow warning lights say 01-04 AM, if they get stuck or have a breakdown you have time to send a mop-up crew to collect them before the morning rush.
Especially since a human already has to go in front of the street sweeper already to write tickets.
This sounds like typical city dweller talk, where no one outside of SF borders matters and no one outside of LA matters, and all rural people are just those too stupid to become baristas in the big city while trying to get an acting job.
No, it's typical country-boy talk, where everyone I know has a car (or two or three).
complete operating systems from multiple vendors such as HPUX, Solaris, IRIX, etc
Using HPUX and IRIX as an example of the unix way only shows you don't understand what the unix way is. Suggested reading here.
Hint: it's significantly more sophisticated than "each tool does one small thing." For people who think that's the Unix way, they need to read the afore linked to page.
The biggest problem is that hardly anyone will ever buy a high-speed rail ticket from Merced to Shafter. Once this segment is completed, it will never be used.
Unless you count stuff like sabatoging peace talks in the Vietnam war. Causing the death of thousands of Americans and more Vietnamese is a really heavy counter-weight to the good stuff he did.
This won't increase the minimum wage for existing tech workers. In places like Redmond and the Bay Area, wages are already way over $100k. I don't think this will really change things for the best.
No, it will make a huge difference, just not what you expect. Check out the list of H1B users. It's pretty clear that a $100k cutoff will hurt Accenture and Infosys, and theoretically make more visas available for companies like Oracle and Google. So you can see who has been lobbying for this one.
This is one of the more empirically well-supported hypothesis in all of economics. The fact that you are asking for proof merely shows you've never taken economics 101. That's ok, most of America hasn't.
As a thought experiment, since you're too lazy to actually read an economics textbook, you might want to ask yourself, "Why not raise minimum wage to $50 an hour? Why stop at $15? At what point do you draw the line and why?"
FYI Facebook can still send an email to recipients as soon as you post something, so everyone might still know what you did. Can still be funny though, I guess.

Visual Studio beats anything on Linux.

Also NuGet is a dog. Even Jon Skeet says so.

I'm kind of interested how a person could alter the value of a wagering instrument. Paint their tokens or something?
How exactly are the casinos cheating?
They paid politicians to write the law in their favor.
Why not?
Because the casinos wrote the law. That's basically why. Is it fair? No.
I can't understand the judge's logic in this at all.
The judge made a ruling based on the law. The law is on the side of the casinos. Yet another of many ways that the casino stacks the deck against you.
While I lived in Denver the ticket writing usually started a good 4 hours before the street sweeper arrived. Very annoying.
That's really annoying. In San Francisco, the ticket-writer is usually a block or two ahead of the sweeper.

That's funny given that it was primarily designed with servers in mind.
Not sure that's true. It was inspired by launchd from Apple (specifically this video). Personally I think launchd is cleaner, but that's partly because Apple has full control of the ecosystem.
Serious question, how do you come to those numbers?
Aircraft can't bring you city center to city center.
As planned, neither can this train.
Certainly, few people drove on the first five miles of controlled-access highway
Actually that would be an interesting thing worth researching.

Tricky Dicky had a pretty fair record,
Unless you count stuff like sabatoging peace talks in the Vietnam war. Causing the death of thousands of Americans and more Vietnamese is a really heavy counter-weight to the good stuff he did.
Now you're changing the topic. And nicely done, as well: impressive.
Your post is just a bunch of ad-hominems
No, you are wrong. It was clearly abuse, not an ad-hominem. You don't even know basic logic.
Also, you didn't even do the thought experiment.
Something feels off about this.
Yeah.
This won't increase the minimum wage for existing tech workers. In places like Redmond and the Bay Area, wages are already way over $100k. I don't think this will really change things for the best.

You say this, but with what proof?
This is one of the more empirically well-supported hypothesis in all of economics. The fact that you are asking for proof merely shows you've never taken economics 101. That's ok, most of America hasn't.
As a thought experiment, since you're too lazy to actually read an economics textbook, you might want to ask yourself, "Why not raise minimum wage to $50 an hour? Why stop at $15? At what point do you draw the line and why?"
Interesting.
