Yet another article bemoaning traditional media's loss of control of "the message".
Forget the nightly newscasts, or even news commentaries like "60 Minutes"; even those old sitcoms like "All in the Family" were force feeding you the message.
Reuters points out that the aggressive new biofuel standards will create a dilemma for an incoming Trump administration, given that his campaign courted both the gas and corn industries.
There's no dilemma. Corn prices already dropped because the subsidies dried up. He can reverse the the standards as easily as Obama set them.
Yup. Functional Decomposition is the silver bullet. No wait, it's Data Flow Diagrams. No wait, it's Rapid Application Development. No wait, it's Object Oriented Analysis/Object Oriented Design. No wait, it's Waterfall. No wait, it's Superprogrammer/Team Programming. No wait, it's Agile.
In the end a small group of good programmers will make a project succeed. Anything else will make it fail; it all boils down to whether the tech leads are competent or were promoted because they were someone's pets.
Too bad this water isn't a big salty sea that can be tapped and pumped out. An underground deposit of ice mixed with sand spread out over an area of 120,000 square miles would require a lot of energy and heavy equipment to mine/transport/purify. .
The polls were wrong because they based them on the turnout from the last election. Obama supporters didn't show up to vote for Hillary so the total wasn't what the poll predicted
In 1960 she took an interim position at MIT to develop software for predicting weather on the LGP-30 and the PDP-1 computers...Hamilton wrote that at that time, computer science and software engineering were not yet disciplines; instead, programmers learned on the job with hands-on experience.
I suspect that if there were more crew, this would have been detected before it caused the propulsion system to become an 'engineering casualty'.
They knew the problem existed and were monitoring it. This is a completely new propulsion system on a ship that's undergoing sea trials; finding problems is no surprise.
I'd keep the diesel generators for the main backup, cheaper and a better solution when you need to take the other system down for more than a couple of days. They probably did keep it anyway.

Yinzers suck anyway
Sheesh, you need taught proper English. The word is "Yunz".
Without our brain and muscle not a single wheel will turn!
Really? Outside of government (public sector) union membership has dwindled to less than 7% of the workforce. Even counting public sector it's less than 12%.
Nah. Put it in Mexico; it will be protected by a big wall.
Because it wasn't a Reply All. It was a suicide note.
was placed on an employee improvement plan, a step that can lead to termination if performance isn't improved,
Stepping off a 12 story building seems like kind of a harsh "improvement plan".

There aren't any qualified IT personnel available in the US. Otherwise there wouldn't be any need for all those H1-Bs in the first place.

What is this "Soviet Union" of which you speak?
Fidel has been out of it for years. His death is no surprise and changes nothing.

Nancy Pelosi tried to make a federal law that media outlets had to deliver the message she approved.
That depends on who you mean by "the Democrats". The people circulating petitions sure aren't Republicans.

"[T]he erroneous information generated an estimated altitude that was negative," ESA said.
Which resulted in an actual altitude that was negative.
Really? I learn something new every day on Slashdot.
Nah. Doubling the cost of production would add what, 20 bucks to the price? Parts cost the same either place.
And the problem with this is....?
The problem is the terrible code that results from it.
She did no such thing. A few hundred people did this, and she partly wrote a small part of it and partly managed the rest.
Please explain what part of that is "over and above mere disputing" or sexist. I don't see either.
The facts are the she was part of a very large team, and at some point in the project she managed some of the team members. That is all.

Sounds like most "coders" today.

Google results are skewed by bloggers linking to articles they agree with. Libs have been using that for years to bias Google Search and Google News.
Google could fix it if they wanted, but their CEO is a Clinton staffer so that won't happen

Just a silly PR stunt by the companies who think they banned someone.
