This was discussed a couple of weeks ago. But I suppose since it's both 3D printing and humaned mission to Mars it's worth discussing a few more times.
I hate looking at code with a bunch of commented out cruft and obsolete comments. It's a holdover from the days before real source control and should never be seen today.
The US wanted to expand a couple of bases it has in Spain, but Spain needed something in return to make it easier to sell to the Spanish voters. So they can now say that they forced their will on the US and only had to give up a a little military base expansion in return.
I'm guessing a lot of American dollars will also head that way since Spain is pretty much insolvent, but that wouldn't look good to voters in either country so they won't brag about it.
So what does not-for-profit really mean then, when they're engaged in the same behavior.
It means they want to make money so they can grow, or at least stay afloat. But the owners of the not-for-profit don't get to keep the profits; unless they happen to be employed by it and collect a 6 or 7 figure salary.
Google and other high tech companies around there pay quite good wages, which is why housing prices in that area are so high. Raising the wage further would only push housing prices higher. That's how economies work.
The headline implies "Silicon Valley" is trying to fix some diversity issue. Who is the submitter referring to by "Silicon Valley"? Maybe there is a group or two of self-proclaimed activists, but I don't see that they represent Silicon Valley.
Users are largely unaware that some corporations inspect
their employee's encrypted traffic to alter malware and
viruses, prevent the leak of intellectual property, and
block harmful websites.
Really? Are those "users" employed? Every place I've worked made it quite clear that they monitored all network traffic.
User opinions toward TLS proxies are nuanced. Many
express concerns about privacy and identity theft from
hackers (75.8%) or surveillance by the government
(70.9%). Yet there is broad, general acceptance of TLS
proxies when used by employers, schools, etc (71.7%).
No surprise there. Employers and schools own the network, they own the traffic. I am surprised that 25-30% are not concerned about surveillance outside of those environments, but it's not clear to me that the people being paid $1 to take the survey were Americans or adults.
Sprint does not offer a plan which allows tethering with unlimited data. You can get unlimited data but no tethering, or tethering with limited data. To get unlimited and tethering you need to root the phone and violate the contract.
Because they rooted their phone (which violates the contract) and use it as their wifi access point. They are paying for phone service, not unlimited internet for their home entertainment system.
Sprint said customers will still be able to use unlimited amounts of data without overage charges, but for moments when the network is congested, traffic from heavy-data customers will move more slowly. Sprint said the policy operates in real time and only applies if a cell site is constrained. Performance for an affected customer returns to normal as soon as the local traffic returns to normal.
Doesn't seem all that diabolical. The alternative is the end of unlimited plans (which is probably coming anyway).
these groups all sleep for nightly blocks of 6.9 and 8.5 hours, and they spend at least 5.7 to 7.1 hours of those soundly asleep. That’s no more than what Westerners who have worn the same watches get; if anything, it’s slightly less.
In other words, you get as much sleep as your body needs. Then you wake up.
I'm guessing it's a followup to another story from a couple of weeks ago. Next we'll be reading "Hey Aidan, cool simulator. Want to bring it over to my place?"
Even if you don't know the time you can still get home. Just navigate to the latitude you want and head east or west, you'll get there. That's how it was done for eons.
Please learn something about orbital mechanics. If you have enough fuel to reach the L2 point and "just dock" you have enough fuel to go anywhere in the solar system. It isn't like flying an airplane.

Don't do what the researchers did by placing bee hives right next to fields that are sprayed with pesticides.

Obama is negotiating with North Korea. Any guesses on how that will work out?
Perot, Trump, Fiorina, Clinton,...

In other words, they found a correlation.
Semantics. The service they offer is intended to be used on your smart phone, not used as a wifi hotspot.
Sprint does not offer a plan which allows tethering with unlimited data. You can get unlimited data but no tethering, or tethering with limited data. To get unlimited and tethering you need to root the phone and violate the contract.
Tethering is allowed, however: 1) you pay extra for a plan that allows it, and 2) You only get limited data (I think 6GB is the max)

Yipes...bad fingers. Bad.

Do you really think military hardware is that fragile? It's built to withstand a close by nuclear explosion. Really, a Navy ship is very, very robust.
Yes, all Navy ships carry sextants, accurate timepieces, and paper charts. You would be a fool to go out to sea without them.
Gosh, what did sailors do for thousands of years when all they had was a sextant?
Learning how to navigate starts with understanding how and why a sextant works.
That doesn't mean it's a good idea.
