The chief concern: publicly available climate change data and research found on government websites would be wiped clean or made otherwise inaccessible to the public.
There is no reason to believe this will happen. It's FUD, fake news, whatever you prefer to call it.
Dynamic languages are just a poor fit for certain applications.
That's true. Different languages have different uses. There might be a few places where Java is the best choice - but not many.
I've seen far more projects (mostly database/web stuff) where a dynamic language like Javascript or Python would have been far better choices than Java. But Java programmers often don't know anything else (many can't even write a simple SQL query) so they try to use it on everything.
Sun created Java because they wanted to boost hardware (SPARC systems) sales
More specifically, Sun needed a way to pry Microsoft customers away from Visual C++, hence the "run anywhere" claim. To some extent Sun's strategy worked, but most of those former Microsoft users went to PC/Linux servers rather than Sun.
Do they really think someone who owns a Tesla will care about that fee? Especially if that person has walked to the local Starbucks to buy a $4 cup of bitter coffee while they wait.
Private companies and organisations are free to enact their own codes of conduct for using their services. This is not censorship...
It is indeed censorship, just not by the government.
But as you said - if you don't like the policies, go elsewhere. Which was GP's point - people are going elsewhere. Developers left SourceForge in droves because of their policies.
Three are two things in the response that caused the aide's confusion.
This is a legitimate email. John needs to change his password immediately,
and ensure that two-factor authentication is turned on his account.
He can go to this link:...
Aside from the legitimate/illegitimate error, the advice that "He can go to this link:" is ill advised, especially when the link he provided is probably similar to the phishing link.
I suspect the people being recruited are concerned that the goal is to transfer the expertise they have to Chinese engineers/scientists. Once that transfer is done the foreigner will no longer have any value.
Too many self-proclaimed security experts are big time bullshitters. They want high consulting fees and will spend as many hours as they can "analyzing". But in the end they don't do squat and the system is still not properly secured. I've seen them milk a company for months before they get kicked out and drive away in their Mercedes.
A really good security consultant is worth what they cost. But unless you're an expert yourself you have no way of knowing if the guy you're hiring knows anything.
Imagine that all of your personal medical information was stored where YOU wanted it to be. One implementation would involve a decryption key in a smartcard that you would use to give permission to a doctor or hospital when they need to access your information.
Image a very high percentage of the people who go to a doctor or hospital are unable to provide their own name or birth date. You want to try getting a decryption key from them?
Whether they're politicians, business executives, athletes, or entertainment celebrities - people at the top of the food chain crave money and power. Bezos, Zuckerberg, Clinton, Trump, Ballmer, LeBron, whoever - they won't give up the ego boost unless they are forced to.
The short version: users expect the back button to take them back to what they perceived to be their previous page. The notion of perception is the key factor here, since there’s often a difference between what is technically a new page and what users perceive to be a new page – which can create discrepancies between where the user expects the back button to take them and where it actually takes them.
People expect Back to take them back. Anything else is broken. If the framework you use has implemented it wrong, your framework is broken.
I scroll through pages with the mouse wheel. I also have the middle button (wheel) set to Browser Back. It's really annoying these days that the most frequently used button in a browser is so often broken.

The study was done by researchers from the Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development. What would you expect their conclusion to be?

If Hillary won it would have been hushed up.
Obama will announce that the US is going to retaliate against China. Then nothing will happen.
Then why would a driver use Amazon instead of the existing third-party brokers? Drivers would be silly to pass on the savings.

Exactly. Installed capacity doesn't mean anything. The article fails to mention actual cost per MWHr
So buy a car that you drive, oh wait...
According to Politico...
You can stop reading right there.
I use yahoo email as my spam sink when a site I don't care about insists on me providing an email address. Let 'em hack it, they got nothing from me.
The two guys in the front only take over if necessary to avoid a crash; but the car will drive itself most of the time. So they are self-driving.

Are you the one willing to pay the multi-million dollar wrongful death suit for the misdiagnoses?

0 C, aka freezing point for water.
Only under one very specific set of conditions. It's just an arbitrary starting point, same as 0 F (do you even know what that is based on?)
That depends on what program you're running. Wordstar? Bash? Nano? There is no One True Standard.
