Also question the source of the/. article. A "Game designer" wants to define who is an engineer and who isn't? Shouldn't we leave that up to Medieval History majors?
Most of the applications listed for this pumpkin would be done better with an underwater glider. They've been in use for years, I always thought they are an especially clever design for long range underwater vehicles.
Valuation is nothing more than a multiple of how much cash the venture capitalists have sunk in the company. Put up $100K and the company is instantly "worth" a million dollars. So yea, what you said...
It did indeed fail in seconds, somewhere between 30 and 35 seconds into the flight if you bother to watch the video. The article should have said "in less than a minute". GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT, ASSHOLE.
The growing ability of the midwest cannot be exploited without long range and efficient cargo capacity.
Not true at all. From the beginning of time cities and agricultural regions have depended on each other. Without a way to move food to cities on the east coast, people would have built cities in the midwest and the east coast would be swamps.
The scientists never claimed it was unbreakable or strong as steel. That came from journalists who wanted a better headline than "New Glass is Stronger Than Most Other Glass".
The jockeys and horses are the raw data, and sometimes smelly.
And don't forget the trainers. At least on smaller tracks they can get away with doping up a long shot horse to make it win and pay long odds to those insiders who know which horse in which race is the one to bet on. All it takes is a small sleight of hand when the post race urine test is done.
Was the glass stronger than steel? Here, the question is what strength means, and what was actually measured. In this case, the researchers measured the glass’s rigidity and its resistance to being pushed on by something else. In both cases, the new glass outperformed most other types of glass, but it wasn’t exactly indestructible.
She never answered the question. Steel isn't "indestructible" either.
The "survey" was done by inviting viewers of a TV program about Aspbergers and Autism to visit their website and take the test:
Why not go onto our website and take the My MindChecker
test to measure the extent of any autistic traits you might have, and whilst your results are confidential, the overall data will form the biggest national survey of its kind.
No chance of their data being biased in that survey...
Per the article, Mr. Meshal was detained by Kenya, who turned him over to Somalia, who turned him over to Ethiopia.
FTFA:
In my mind, that raised the very real prospect that either the F.B.I. or another element of the United States intelligence community asked its Kenyan counterparts to ship Mr. Meshal to Ethiopia for further questioning.
In other words, there's really no evidence that the FBI ever had control of him, just that they were able to interrogate him. Maybe Kenya and Somalia did what the US requested, maybe not. The court ruled that no evidence was provided by him that the FBI had control.
Either their target demographic was too small in gross numbers (adv. jargon, though generally understandable) or, more likely IMO, a group which is unpopular with national retail advertisers bc they/we act more nearly rationally.
Or IMHO, they tried to inject social and political awareness into the site and a large number of their users lost interest and left.
She wasn't harassed or profiled. The cops politely advised her to walk on the left side of the street and recorded the fact that she was given a verbal warning for obstructing traffic. If you break the law they will ask for your name even if they don't issue a citation.
A few years ago a neighbor of mine was killed by a drunk driver while walking on the right side of the road; it's dangerous, especially while wearing ear buds. It happens.
They don't pull over white people jogging in a subdivision street.
People get verbal warnings about unsafe behavior all the time. The difference is that some people say "Thanks, have a nice day" and some say "RACIAL PROFILING! I'M BEING OPPRESSED!"
Wait, you expect OP to write the requirements before writing the code?
If you're going to do that, at least follow a normal development process:
1) Write vague, conflicting design details and call them requirements
2) Write code based on what you think the requirement writer meant, rather than what they actually said.
3) Write test cases that prove your code does what it does.
4) Update the code to do something else, but don't update the requirements or test cases

Isn't it more likely you have an unethical tech who is looking for future access to phones?
Reading the article (yea, I know) it seems Sprint gave him several different reasons why it was installed. None of which included rogue technician.

You need to learn the difference between "average" and "median"
Either that, or it implies they are the ones performing actions (which is the customary meaning of the word).
That's kind of like saying putting a lock on your bicycle is useless because nobody stole it the last time you locked it.
How is this News for Nerds? It is common knowledge.

Obstructing traffic is a misdemeanor. They could have given her a ticket but didn't.
Either way, it's standard procedure to check someone's id after they have committed a violation like that, not their decision.
It's also pretty standard game programming. Only recalculate what changed.

Gartner reports that enterprises they surveyed "have plans". Just roll your eyes and walk away.

JFK doxed Nixon a couple of times back in the 1960 campaign. You can look it up.
