Football is the only thing keeping cable alive, and it is the safety net for EA as well.
EA has a core base of suckers who will buy the same madden/fifa game every year, even better most are "non-gamers" who don't give a shit about what happens in some star wars game. fifa was the best selling game of 2016, they can afford to take loot box risks on "niche" titles which are full of whales.
Your codebase's primary job is to attract and retain top talent. Whatever the fuck you want to sell or buy or disrupt or facilitate is secondary, if you can't get people to write and maintain your code.
You could have a hideous frankensystem that grants golden penis wishes and you will go bankrupt trying to maintain it if you don't let those two skinny guys and that fat guy convert it to Rails, then Angular, then React every 6 months.
because the half of the US that really needs consumer protection laws believes that red hats and tax cuts for the wealthy are the only america they need.
basically everyone with a bank account or water bill is affected. This is an industry altering breech. There is no reason to believe you have any ability to do anything about it.
I am not being defeatist, this will cause necessary change in the entire industry.
I have played with the SDK which is simple and straightforward, in a few hours I wrote a "channel" that streams menus and content from my own server. My 3 year-old can use the menus..
The roku also accepts rest calls for pretty much all the remote control functions, and you can add "launch parameters" to your custom channels, effectively allowing you to add arbitrary rest calls.
So basically I have a local picture menu that you can run from a browser to launch movies on any of my TVs, using fully supported and easy to understand roku APIs.
This makes it basically the only viable choice for my household
The federal regulations on them include provisions that the company receive "no immediate advantage" from the activities of the intern... in other words, they can't do real, profitable work for free.
Not that the law is actually enforced.
But if the company is willing to skirt employment law in order to get something for nothing, they are going to fuck you once you get hired there too.
between my first kid and my unplanned last kid, my counts halved... after I had 2 vasectomies. The first failed... the second "succeeded" only to fail 3 years later. Now I am up to about half my initial count. Woo.
when I am reading javascript in code review I always say "Threequals" for the === operator. It hasn't caught on... People in code review still groan when I do it.
Khan has tons of interactive content as well. Yes there are a bunch of youtube videos curated there but the curator problem is one of the things that TFA dances around solving.
I am not some hipster (maybe I am?) I have a cheap ass turntable and mostly I subscribe to a streaming music service. I buy Vinyl here and there, mostly as displayable, hold able music art. 20 bucks for an album is too high, but 20 bucks for a collectible, playable statue of music is pretty decent. It is just pure nostalgia, but I am not even old enough to be nostalgic about records.
I guess they figured a way to keep the user session running as root, while still sorta having security-ish behavior. If only there was an obvious solution like not making every user root.
Accenture is also the largest consumer of my voicemail inbox. They are always ready to offer me a 3 month contract at half wages to do god-knows-what for some customer they will charge 5x my salary to.
Just so you are aware of optics, if you say "mainstream media" you look like an idiot. If you say "MSM" you look like a lunatic.
you probably don't realize it from your Breitbart/Reddit bubble, but the phrase sounds like: "I think eberybuddy is lyin to me, and I cain't trust what annyone who trusts anything but deluxe tinfoil for their hats!"
some fan cuts 1,2,3 show Anakin's fall a lot more realistically, "Turn to the darkside" cut out all of the "anakin being good right before he was bad" parts and showed a gradual descent from mostly good to all bad.
If you want to watch a movie about Anakin turning into Darth Vader, you should watch "Chronicle" it is gimmicky and isn't star wars, but the story is a believable character progression from innocent kid, to accidental inhuman super being. It is 10 times better to pretend this is the prequel.
Step 1: Assure all employees of both the acquired and the parent company that their job is safe.
Step 2: Assure the public that it is business as usual.
Step 3: https://hardware.slashdot.org/... all your employees in potentially redundant areas fill out "Skill matrix" or other bullshit evaluations
Step 4: Make a shocking, totally unexpected, totally unpredictable move to lay off redundancies to the point where you can't properly function
Step 5: Bring in inexpensive contractors/scabs to bring the business back up to minimal function as you ring money out of the asset at peak efficiency.
I don't know why they offer a 32 bit still, but it sure is annoying
my gaming machine threw a rod or something, I had to re-install, but bla bla bla the only license I could find in my big bin o' parts was for 32 bit windows 7, but they offered free win10 upgrade so what the hell I tried.
Anyway long story short, even though I had 64 bit selected it ended up installing 32 bit windows 10.
I ended up using my stupid 32 bit windows 10 to download 64 bit windows 10 installation media after extracting my CD-key from the registry I had to wipe the computer for like the 5th time in a row, and re-install 64 bit from scratch via a thumb drive.
I was working as a software developer on a very demanding project, pulling 60+ hours a week most weeks while I wrote my first novel.
It was a long process, and it was very hard, and yes I had no free time between my money job and my passionate speculative job.
As time went on I finally finished the book, and sold thousands of copies.
I am proud to say that today I make 6 figures a year...
...as a software developer, because that's my real job and nearly every novelist who ever lived didn't make a living at it, and it is important to have realistic dreams.
9 mothers can't make 1 baby in a month... and if you try that, in 9 months you will end up with 9 screaming babies to take care of for the rest of your life.
By the time I read it at age 14 I thought the main character was a whiny annoying little prick. If I had read it 1-2 years earlier it would have been profound.

It is pretty simple to get away with a crime, just don't tell anyone about it. Ever. It is harder than you think.

USB C you later!

in the US it is $10,000 in any number of transactions OR "any suspicious amount" which is to say "for any reason at all"

oh also, I have tons of records that are over 40 years old, which still play fine. I have 0 CDs over 10 years old that still play.

Texas has a statewide law preventing HOAs and Municipalities from banning solar panels. There are tons and tons of panels up in conservative areas.

huh, no idea why that link is there, I blame the totally necessary feature of drag-drop text manipulation on browser text-boxes.
