For many nations, their GDP is based primarily on the service sector of the economy; jobs that primarily local based. With globalism, the following axiom holds true "What can be in-sourced or out-sourced will be!" As Americans for most of us, we're too expensive in the global market! That, combined with our national debt, stagflation will remain until we focus on services and skills that can only benefit a local economy. Learning a craft or skilled trade in grey collar work is your best bet to maintaining a middle class job. You know, work that requires tangible results by human hands. If it's producing a product behind a keyboard, that jobs is in direct competition with the global market, and you can't live off an Indian or Chinese low wage. Not going to happen !!
It's legally possible when he says it's legally possible. I'm sorry, but if past history teaches us anything, I'm of the opinion that nothing short of an armed uprising (revolution) will curb his sorry ass. But hey, that's not my problem, that's up the people of Venezuela.

That would happen if Android was a viable desktop OS; which it's not. That market belongs to Windows and OSX for the desktop/laptop market. Apple could have created an iPhone dock years ago that would act as the replacement for your desktop (clerical work-loads, not workstation type). The reason they didn't is that would have cannibalized their own product offerings. So the decision to not move toward a unified Apple OS is market driven, not a technological limitation.
IANAB, but I do have a question: If these claims have merit (not saying they do), could it perhaps be something genetic or a compound being excreted by this bacteria that's ostensibly causing this? I know for a fact at least that bacteria are promiscuous and can pass on genetic material to other bacteria. In fact, it's that mechanism by which many forms of bacterial are becoming antibiotic resistance.
You'd simply be killing millions of people. You'd be joining the ranks of the worst despots in human history, except that you would be killing them directly without the complicity of middlemen.
I'll play devils advocate: Think...1,000 years into the future. The progeny of mankind might thank you for not only stopping the initial wave of darkness, but setting the precedent that not only is MAD just a theory, but proven to take place!!!
OTOH, with all the low hanging fruit of easily accessible resources now depleted, once thermonuclear exchange commences, I doubt humanity will ever have the resources int he aftermath to reboot back to current tech.
When we speak, we don't invoke speech as "free/dom" unless the content is knowingly objectionable in the first place; because that's the entire point! For European nations to block objectionable speech and still call it "free/dom" is Newspeak.
This person isn't "poorly informed", they are fucking retarded, fucking crazy, and fucking arrogant. A deadly combination that is all too common.
The correct term would be "willfully ignorant" to be concise; and yes, it's an arrogant mindset to boot. Anyway, if people conjure up this much FUD over Solar Power, good luck getting a Nuclear Power renaissance started. We're so fucked...
Take away cheap labor, jobs will simply move offshore.
Horseshit! Regardless of insourcing via H1Bs, outsourcing has and will continue to occur regardless. They are, and will be, two entirely separate things. One does not effect the other. The only reason some jobs haven't moved offshore is because they're isn't a market yet for them. But cooperation do try and do both insourcing and outsourcing at the same time regardless.
It's precisely that its so complicated, and becoming exponentially more so that the entire paradigm needs to be re-evaluated. You can't keep adding, modifying, and re-appending to a cluster-fuck tax code that we have now. It's a house of card that introduces loopholes after loopholes. Close one, and two more emerge in its place.
The answer MUST be simple if you wish to solve a complicated issue that WE, US Citizens, have created int he first place.
Stop giving politicians the means by which to control us.
Why, oh why are we attempting to dance around this. What we should be talking about is scrapping the entire fucking tax code and going with a flat / fair tax system (not VAT, there's a difference). If I had my druthers, it would be a simple equation or formula in which the lambda can be changed to heat or slow the economy as needed. But that's it! One page tax code? try one line on the page!!
Hard to say. Many SSDs can become bricked from an abrupt loss of power (Vertex series know for this) due to a partial write-back. Normally it's not an issue for HDDs so long as you've got a modern filesystem that does journaling (most if not all do nowadays). But for SSD, they're a separate table in the firmware that tracks what LBA becomes dynamically remapped to specifically cells for wear-leveling. As you can imagine, loss of power during a critical update to the table can cause all sorts of corruption issues. Enterprise and prosumer SSDs have added electronic capacitance to help eliminate half-writes leaving the after math a normal file system problem as would normally occur with an HDD under the same circumstances. With laptops, it's not an issue as you're buffered with a battery anyways. But with desktops, make sure you're at least behind a UPS; otherwise you're playing a game of Russian Roulette during periods of brownouts and power loss.
I've also had SSDs go tits up from excessive use. I'm a power user with building VMs on my MacBook Pro. I've learned to go with 512GB drives so I've got extra slack in wear levels cells; otherwise I'll burn through 256GB drives. Or so, that's been my experience with the past three SSDs I've owned.
Living in Houston, TX with Verizon as my provider; I've never had a dropped call while talking (hands free) and driving for over an hour in and around the city. Perhaps it's just the increase in cell tower coverage and technology, but not having dropped calls is a massive, HUGE improvement over what it was 10 years ago!
Aside from what the white papers say about a device's MTBF rate, I've always compared based on factory warranty. 3 yr vs 5 yr is pretty telling in most cases.
Oh, I'm sure they will sell the same user-capacity drive with a higher MTBF rate (and higher cost) as a "prosumer" product. How?? Same technology, feature, etc, only difference is they'll stamp more chips on board to be used a transparent spare cells as they die out; thus extending the life.
It's a dirty bolt-on solution to extending MTBF, but that's exactly what will happen.
Honestly, when you start looking at storing that many photos and videos - 5 TB worth, redundancy should be a given. So whatever the cost of that drive is, double it, because you really need to RAID1 that volume for hardware redundancy.
Of course he is, as they should be conflated. Nitrogen fertilizer production is tied directly to natural gas. Take away natural gas production and billions will starve!!!

For that matter, there's nothing Conservative about the GOP. Fuck that K-Street boy Paul Ryan!
Trump is many things, but he's NOT establishment.

And Nazi Germany prior.
The sense of victimhood and isolation this creates is a useful political tool.
Well yeah, it's an old song and dance written in the "How to be an effective dictator" book used the world over. Please see N. Korea as an example.
Apple continues to reiterate the difference but apparently you aren't getting those memos

Tax breaks for employing people with a handicap?? People are altruistic, not corporations.
THAT IS THE PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GTFO of SOCIAL ENGINEERING YOU DUMB STUPID BITCH FUCK!!!!

For an endless cycle of vapid platitudinal phrases we call bullshit ! Mmmm mm mmMMMmmm, yes, more please!
A valuable CPUcore for DRM?! Fail! They should have just implemented a custom ASIC for that task.
Of course he is, as they should be conflated. Nitrogen fertilizer production is tied directly to natural gas. Take away natural gas production and billions will starve!!!
