the benefit of offloading is primarily for the cell carrier, and NOT for you
I'm not so sure about that. When you connect to a hotspot you get the benefit of much higher bandwidth. And by using more hotspots and fewer towers your cell bill is (presumably) lower than if your carrier tried to provide that level of service with towers only.
Hiring managers read about how Google would bring a candidate back several times and have them talk to dozens of people. Hey, if that works for Google it must be cool, so we need to do it too.
the most unequal areas in the world are the least innovative...You'd be surprised how egalitarian Silicon Valley is compared to 99% of Asia or South America.
Stratified distribution of wealth is not the same as compensation based on ability.
This same Paul Ehrlich says we're in a Golden Age of Discovery finding many new species "with a small range". I have to question how accurately they can calculate the background extinction rate when biologists couldn't even identify subtle differences between species that were collected in the field.
From helping with education and job hunting, to allowing for home working
All noble and good. But will the government even bother to follow up and see if it makes any difference? It's one thing to help people improve their place in life, but if all this does is provide free entertainment I'm not so sure. Maybe there should be at least some strings attached to it.
Presumably the target embedded system isn't running Ubuntu. So really all you need is some way to keep the compiler/linker running - the rest of the build environment is irrelevant. Unless, as mentioned above, everything has to be certified - in that case then what you need is several complete dev systems on a shelf somewhere and pray that you don't use them all up.
When asked about OCP, Hölzle told us,"I think in the long term it’s less important because most people should not use their own racks even if it’s Open Compute... It will be relevant only for the very, very large companies — for the Facebooks, the Ebays, the Microsofts."
But then, who among us needs computers anyway?
"I think there is a world market for maybe five computers."
As I read it, the only "evidence" of any spying was a story in Der Spiegel the the NSA had Merkel's cell number. Everything else, well actually everything including that story, is a conspiracy theory.
You mean something like the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and all the partnerships it has with DARPA? Or NASA's development and use of PV panels?

Nope. This takes the issue off the table
Just supply a few smaller versions of the condom that are finger sized. Then you don't need the dip test on the real thing.

several of our Software Engineer jobs have been open for over 2 months and they are still open.
Vacancy duration is a different problem. This study was about Interview duration.
My guess is we don't pay enough - or people presume we don't pay enough.
More likely your HR department is bottom feeding, only sending you candidates who are asking for below average salaries.

Where is Texas' Silicon Valley or Oregon's ?
California.

I'd gather up my coworkers and tell them we want a year's salary as a bonus now or we all walk that afternoon
Yea, that would really scare the crap out of the company that wanted to lay you off.
If predicting that AI will destroy civilization isn't alarmist I would be interested in hearing the other side.
The world has changed a lot in the past 100 years. It will change a lot in the next 100. Deal with it.
Seems like it would be a natural market for them.
The substation attack is mentioned in TFA, but then - this is /.

GP is probably Al Gore incognito. Heating or cooling his mansion could easily use that much energy.
"These new installations of solar power can, at noon on a cloudless day, generate more electricity than these new installations of coal power...".
Which is no surprise, considering the current administration has essentially outlawed the construction of new coal plants.
Yea. We'll get on that as soon as we attain World peace, end hunger, and eliminate all disease.
You mean something like the National Renewable Energy Laboratory and all the partnerships it has with DARPA? Or NASA's development and use of PV panels?
One of the factors spurring growth in solar power is the expiration of the federal government's solar investment tax credit (ITC).
We'll see how well solar competes when it gets (almost) the same tax treatment as other power sources. It will still get a 10% bonus though.
at some point Uber has to make money
They'll make it up in volume.
Reminds me of the term that airlines' use when they collect the insurance on a crashed plane - "Involuntary Conversion of an Asset"
As I read it, the files weren't used until the plane was 400 feet off the ground. So takeoff wasn't a problem.
