Good to see all those people prosecuted for fraud, what, not one, not even the executives who planned it, not one single individual custodial sentences for mass fraud, I am sure that will kerb the banksters criminal behaviour, excellent precedent set by Uncle Tom Obama, bankers never go to jail, bankers always keep their bonuses, arms dealing, banking for warlords and terrorists, drug dealing, all a token percentage of the profits made by those criminal operations, thankyou for that precedent Uncle Tom Obama the Choom Gang Coward.
There is a mathematical model that you can guarantee one hundred percent you will win with horse racing. It is the one bookies use to calculate the payout on bets based on the amount bet on an particular wins or places, so that no matter who wins you collect more in bets than you pay out. You need to know nothing what so ever about horses to win, you just need to understand statistics and some psychology so you can scam the mug punters. Just like all other, so called gambling, the arse holes taking the bets cheat by stacking the betting odds in the favour so no matter what happens over time they win and the mug punters lose. This should be illegal, the only way you should be able to run a gambling concession is where the odds are equal and fair otherwise it is just corrupt cheating with paid off politicians.
Looking a VR use reaction videos you should likely be able to test for VR suitability use by individuals by gauging their visual reliance for balance versus be more genetically reliant upon the vestibular system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.... Those more reliant upon visual cues will likley be completely unsuited to using VR system. Those less reliant on visual cues will be much more comfortable with VR systems. There likely would be specific genes that would indicate that difference.
Major math error in your calculation, you forgot to depreciate the ice berg being towed. Although you start with a lot, the further you tow, the less you have and a huge amount of energy is wasted on nothing. So you have to take into account thermal exchange, the amount of warm water flowing over the iceberg shrinking it. To realistically tow an iceberg you need to treat it as a liquid mass and completely enclose it or tow nothing a very long way (the nothing being ice you towed that melted before you got there and faster makes it worse not better). The most energy efficient is to use tidal pressures to power reverse osmosis.
Conversely if the US government want to use visa applications for data mining, I suggest they make them a hell of lot cheaper https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en.... Charging people $160 to mine their data seems like you will definitely limit you opportunity to do so. I would suggest the US government pay people rather than them paying the US and then they can ask for all sorts of information;D.
Technically speaking nothing what so ever requires older versions of anything in the digital world. More accurately, they have no economic desire to invest in port programs and converting data in order to make the transition. The cost is large and problems will occur but it most definitely is not impossible, or even all that difficult, just quite expensive. What I have learned, is the longer you put it off, the more expensive it becomes, flip side early conversions often lead to choosing the wrong direction requiring another conversion decision. In conjunction those two issues keep legacy stuff hanging on far longer than they should.
I expect different things in the age of the internet. I expect all people seeking public office to have equal access to a public information distribution system to provide details of their policies and an end to private for profit advertisements. I expect that once they throw their hats in the ring, that all party communications are to be made publicly, live in order to prevent two faced politics. I expect a record to be kept of campaign promises and should the individual be elected by held accountable for those promises unless they are able to substantiate why they were not able to fulfill them. I expect all individuals seeking public office should be tested in the exact same manner as all other government employees are subject to, publicly audited and controlled tests for intelligence, knowledge and psychological evaluation (keep in mind modern psychopathy tests can not be cheated) and the public to have access to those results.
Provide those and elections will produce much better results, done and finished.
Of course if you go there. Then the grunts and gestures of cavemen represent the height of language?!? Logically the most modern language would be the most advanced rather than the most primitive language. English tends to lead not so much because of adhering to tradition but because it continually evolves, adding new words and usage continually.
You can monitor but you should not secretly monitor. Keep in mind if you are prompted to secretly monitor you children, do no be surprised if that gene is not passed on and they choose to secretly monitor you. Annoy your children enough and don't be surprised when something extremely embarrassing appears online.
Itro to computer science is default for nearly every single course in university, cheating is the norm and to be expected (arts students who see computer as magic box). To be fair it is a first year course and every one who has actually been to university and experienced the difference between parking in the first half of the school year and in the second half of the school year, should appreciate why. A lot of those absent in the second half are often caught cheating in the first half, not expelled simply leave when they can not handle the work.
As far as I can see, telling the bloody truth about what is going on in political party caimpagns, should be compulsary under law and attempting to keep it secret should be considered a criminal act punishable by an extended custodial sentence.
Those fuckers have no problem prying into our lives after they are elected and we have every single fucking right to pry into the tiniest detail of their election campaign and that should be mandated by law.
What an absurd notion, people running for election for public office have the right to keep secrete what is really going on in their political campaign, how fucking insane is that. No more secrets, no more dual campaigns one private and one public, no more right to allow basically corrupt political campaigns, no one has a right to private political campaigns when running for public office. By law all political campaign communications should be public and live, no more back room deals, no mare tax haven junkets where the deals are made and the bribes paid. Every single political campaign communication should be public, every email, every call, every meeting, not more election secrets.
Problem is M$ is far worse than the other companies in so many ways. Better for them to die and allow other new players in the market to compete against Google and Apple. M$ is just a rotting corpse sucking up market space due to product lock in. Currently mainly PC games and office. I for one stopped purchasing PC games 6 months ago and only use LibreOffice when it become obvious that M$ was not going to stop it's privacy invasive ways and forced software installs, done, finished, no more. They are just disgusting perves who do not deserve a place in the market.
There are profound legal reasons for not being required to remember anything. What if they ask you as question, for which you do not know the answer, are they entitled to punish you upon the basis they think you know the answer and thus imprison you for the rest of the life or until you can guess the answer you do not know. How about if they go to their evidence bin and grab the wrong phone and your password does not work, which you can not prove, until they can unlock the phone, their error, the rest of your life in prison. How about a personal lifetime warranty on your password working. How about bad memory https://www.google.com.au/sear...' 465,000 results but the law demands 100% recall.
Still no tool to block crappy uploaders so you now longer see them in search results or anywhere is. Google still annoying arseholes getting you to watch a commercial for a few seconds of crap content, until you realise you got sucked in by a bullshit title and cover photo, yeah, fuck you google.
People buy stuff, so it about people. First up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., why does anyone buy into any of it, marketing, peer pressure, fabricate social illusions. So apple got in early, picked up the hobbyist and then abandoned them for fashion and just works. Nothing more and nothing less.
There has been a change in Apple recently brought about by M$ Windows anal probe 10 marketing failure. Apple we sell you privacy, we do not sell your privacy, marketing advantage to push it as a premium product against the M$ peasant product ie peasants have no right to privacy and can be monitored, targeted, controlled and manipulated. So yes, Apple has the right now to call itself premium over M$. By the time M$ turns around it will be too late and good riddance.
That whole competitive video gaming thing seems like one enormous scam targeted at gullible children. Seriously who the fuck are the mindless drones that basically play one gamer over and over and over and over and over, to bloody infinity. The most mind blowing stupendously boring and pointless activity. I like gaming, I like learning new games, I like games with replayability but fuck being forced to play the same game over and over and over again driven by greed and empty bullshit marketing targeted at children, fuck, I would rather lay bricks out in the sun.
What kind of marketing shit will sick adults target at children next. http://www.skynews.com.au/news... there are some seriously sick super greedy adults out there.
Like playing computer games, then play them, do not watch them, seriously play them. Look it is all so stupid, do the same thing over and over and over again and you will be better at it than other people who do not and instead do a lot of interesting and varied stuff. The only thing keeping that bullshit going is marketing targeted at children to manipulate them, make them feel inferior because they can not play that well, so they can try to make themselves feel better by buying worthless shit.
Now factor out the failure rate of retaining lower quality programmers to maintain gender numbers ie people who would normally be let go and then you get more code check in failures. Think more bad male coders fired and no bad female coders fired to maintain gender numbers and code rejection numbers blow out big over time. Not that bad coders were retained long term, just likely that bad coders where given much much longer trial periods based upon a gender bias.
Nah, it is all total bullshit and the arseholes at Alphabet are part of the lie. Mass censorship targeting anti-corporate messages. Basically scammy Alphabet are playing along to see if the can drive away content producers they can not dictate too and control. This is for establishment control over the political messaging the public is allowed to see and as approved by the piece of shit corporations. They want the corporate political advertisement tied to the consumer advertisement, the empty tied to the useless. Ignore politics and consumer more is what they want and it will fail miserably.
The reason people are abandoning cable and free to air is because it is shite and they go to youtube to get away. Don't want to advertise on youtube, fine, fuck off. Youtuve wants to silence non-corporate approved content creators, fine they can fuck off. Other companies will turn up and youtube like all social media platforms will die.
It does not matter, cars are involved in hundreds of thousands of minor accidents every year. Once you put the word flying into anything so the word minor disappears from the accident, no such thing as a minor flying accident, just how many died and how many survived and do that over a metropolitan area and add how many innocent bystanders died. The more flying vehicles the greater the number of accidents, done and finished.
Underground automated transport corridor, makes by far the most sense and is bound to be the future model. Most people wont ever bother with ownership, just call up a service via mobile at it comes right to your location and takes you were you want to go and the goes off to pick up some one else, all available 24/7, no drivers, secured in a control space underground (the hugely reduced number of private vehicles will drive up their price, the impact of hugely reduced production levels carrying large development costs).
You simply bad all simply modem style network devices and replace with full fire wall routers. With the ability to monitor out of normal design bounds traffic and block it off and report it back to the ISP and in turn the end user. The question is whether or not network policing activities should occur. If the individual is attacked for any other crime, the police respond and assist them, the question is then whether that same response is required for a network attack. Right now it is just free for all and stuffed in the too hard basket but should government be required to provide network security services who will assist the public when they are targeted by criminal activity. Starting off the number of responses would be huge but over time it would shrink.
Brand loyalty, hmm, really pushing my brain hard but at a guess, 'Faber Castell', rings a bell as my sliderule brand and yes we also learned how to use an abacus but we did not carry one, the only electronics were not so compact pocket calculator possibly Sony. I used a Sharp pocket calculator so much at work I wore off the =.
Reality is the iPad does not belong in schools tablets are just for consuming content and not creating it, a full notebook is required and open source has got that locked either as Chrome book or over time Android or any other Linux distribution. Windows is dead in schools, simply far to expensive, school notebooks have be sturdy yet near disposable, required to last perhaps one school year (preferable last more but kids will be kids).
As for M$ desire to pry into kids school lives so they can target and manipulate them after school, well, you can be there will be laws against in coming out over the next few years.
All that will happen is smarter companies will redesign their delivery methods, this to substantially reduce the size of required final end point delivery vehicles. It boils down to how many, how large and how far apart are their distribution centres for package handling. This affects size of runs and how much each truck has to deliver. The old delivery model as practised by postal services is way ahead, where as newer models run by for profits are really bad (low capital cost but really poorly run and more expensive in the end).
Want they want is end point delivery trucks driving from distribution centre to distribution centre making delivery drops along the way. Those trucks should be as compact as possible, to ensure quick parking and ready access. Big vans are tied to large extremely spread apart distribution centres and they do not really work properly, hard to park, slow access and wasteful of resource when nearly empty.
About the best placed for modern delivery are the supermarket chains, who are spread at about the right density. So interesting things might happen in that area in the future.
You have to be fair to Gartner, they were not aware of Windows anal probe 10 and thus could not take it into account. Nobody likes perves, a lesson everyone except the arse holes at M$ learned in primary school, really, really uncool behaviour ask any reasonable child and they will tell you exactly that. So M$ is killing itself in the consumer market first in smart phones and now the XBone is following suit losing market share to Sony and XBone is the popular name for it, so not seen as cool what so ever. Wow it looks pretty grim for M$ https://www.statista.com/stati.... It seems like smart phones are killing game consoles, so how long before the hook up a smart phone to a big screen TV. The privacy invasiveness and arrogance is market suicide and good riddance.

Probably is a easier way to find bot servers, simply raid NSA and CIA computer centres. They have been exposed for the games they are playing.
