Your problem is incorrectly proposed. XML is ALWAYS a bad solution, at least for communication transports. It's a fine solution for markup, which is the realm it grew out of. I disagree with the json statement, however. json is fine for a sensibly specced communications protocol. I personally think that if your communications protocols can't be easily done as json, then it better be a closed distributed monolithic system, because otherwise you're in for a world of hurt.
The first radio signals from 1886 were merely telegraph longs and shorts. The first transmissions of voice were in 1900. 1909 was the first truly omnidirectional broadcasts, and 1916 for the first continuous broadcast, of a whole 3 hours. Roughly around 1919 regular nightly broadcasts of music et al started occurring, so we have a sphere of less than 100 light years of very weak and intermittent signals. Television started in the early 1930s, with a stronger signal, but truly strong coherent signals probably didn't develop until the late 1950s at the earliest. That gives a less than 60 light year diameter sphere where there's a potential of picking up a signal. Currently, there appear to be about 1400 star systems within 50 ly of earth, of which 133 are believed to be similar enough to ours that they are the best options for earth like planets that could harbor life similar to ours.
As a parent, though, who's son rode the bus for 3 years, my first question would be if this will lengthen bus rides? (A 4% reduction in cost for a 20% increase in ride times would be a definite non-starter in my book.).
I'm guessing that these guys being from MIT, they've already calculated in that parents like you would drive their kids to school, thus reducing the number of kids and miles driven.
Copyright law gives them no such rights. Or are you arguing the RIAA is allowed to search your home and car?
If they include an audit right to come in and peruse all my hardware in their licensing scheme, that would end Oracle ever running on anything I'm in charge of.
If your ISP won't offer business Internet to homes, then please name and shame the ISP that shows disrespect for the environment by banning telecommuting.
ATT U-verse, Spectrum/Comcast/TWC all offered less than 10Mbps upstream as the best offered. (the cable monopoly changed ownership so often I can't recall who the owners were). IOW, all options offered less than 10Mbps up, and ATT U-verse was limited to 1Mbps up, if you can believe it. On business service! My current location offers over 100Mbps upstream service. Connectivity was a consideration when moving.
I've a vested interest in seeing people of integrity in positions of power. From what I can tell, McClellan acted to maximize disclosure and minimize collusion, albeit with minimal apparent involvement himself he doesn't have much power until someone elevates a problem to his awareness. We should be focusing on Monsanto and the panel which accepted a paper with undisclosed editing by its key stakeholder.
We all have vested interests in seeing such things otherwise things go down the slippery slope of deteriorating services and standards. McClellan appears to have left lots of legal wiggle room, whether intentional or not. And yes, we absolutely should also focus on whether there was editing of the paper by Monsanto backed interests. That is a separate issue.
Yes, but how do I utilize my photographic printing service (pics are between 15 and 40 MB each) or a video publishing service (vids, after all, are multi GB each) And that looks to only increase as densities get higher. And I can't be the only one that wants to print or publish something on occasion.
That's not what the other poster meant. One of the recent revisions/extensions of copyright law was called the "Mickey Mouse Law", because it allowed Disney to keep MM under copyright, instead of that character getting liberated into the public domain.
There were some arguments put forth that while yes, MM movies would enter the public domain, MM himself, being a Disney trademark, would only allow others to distribute the original movies. One could not create derivative works, thus Disney would only lose the ability to not publish or benefit from the existing (now PD) material.
First, regarding the topic, what companies still offer pensions? For example, Verizon employees haven't been eligible for pensions for well on a decade. So they're only talking about their current load of mostly already retired previous employees. Many other companies stopped offering pensions decades ago as the 401K push really started in the late 80s. So this is an accounting issue that mostly applies to the past, and has no real bearing going forward more than a few years.
According to the numbers from CMS studies on health care costs, medicare/medicaid expenditures on average for males/females above the age of 64 is near $20k/year. Much of that is nursing home care, which the obese require more of and sooner.
There is no way only 25% trust Trump, that makes no logical sense.
You're right, there's no way 25% trust Trump. That's like saying 25% would poke themselves in the eye to avoid seeing the truth.
I also can't understand how people are not approving of him. Got the economy going way up just by removing regulations Obama put in, drasticly reduced illegal immigration without even building the wall yet, talking legal immigration that most approve of, not gotten Health care, but that is not his fault.
Economy was going up just fine before he got in. Just wait for the inevitable crash to come soon. Illegal immigration? He's apparently deported fewer than Obama did, but he's deporting a majority of major criminals, like those that have a parking ticket. Oh my, keep america safe!!! Deport those evil parking ticket violators! And health care is most definitely his fault - he stumped for it, but where was his plan? It's like everything else that comes from his mouth, empty hot air.
and most people are perfectly fine with 4-5 Mbps because you can chek e-mail, cruise Facebook, stream Pandora and watch Netflix without an issue.
As soon as Netflix switches to real 4K, you're going to need between 10-15Mbps down just for the video. TrueHD instead of DD5.1 will add another 4Mbps, for a minimum of 15 Mbps dedicated to just you for 1 stream. That measly 5Mbps will seem like dial up in the next couple of years.
Last time I checked, about 85% of the US had abysmally slow internet. Slow internet access is below 10Mbps upstream. It's time to stop looking at asymmetric downstream speeds as being the metric. Upstream is what makes the internet interesting, so without a reasonable upstream speed, it's nothing more than broadcast with a phone to dial up some info.
I hear you. I probably use 10-15GB a day, not including an upstream dump of 5GB at least once a week. There's no way mobile would work for loads like that. Checking email, sending emojis and watching a crappy youtube vid or two? Sure.
I contemplated having my own DS3+ dropped to my old house, and even checked pricing. Yes, 10-15K sounds like a lot, plus a few hundred a month, but it's symmetric and since you own it, you can resell service to your neighbors to help defray the costs. It's cheaper than moving, by far, but I wound up moving for other reasons. Now I have access to symmetric services up to 1Gbps even though I had to wind up adding power conditioning and backups to the ISP's gear to prevent outages, because their gear was too sensitive to brownouts and spikes.
ummm... pray that he doesn't move the goalposts faster?!!!
also i wonder what his data usage at home is like...
He's got a free Verizon FiOS service with a dedicated line and super high-priority and unrestricted free data services from Verizon mobile, and likely all other mobile services too.
mobile broadband with speeds of 10Mbps downstream and 1Mbps upstream
isn't being provided which the summary (I of course didn't read the linked sources as I don't want to be excommunicated from/.) suggests is the proposed definition of adequate. So, the FCC would still agree with you.
Ah, let's party like it's 1990-something. Woo hoo! 1Mbps upstream! Then again, it's all that AT&T U-verse provides to a largish segment of their network, and it's not guaranteed either. Thank goodness for other fiber providers.
The correct way of stating it would be "Please disclose if there was any communication with Monsanto for any reason while producing this report and note each incident along with topics discussed."
That covers full disclosure of all potential problems.
Specifically, McClellan told Roberts to make clear how the panelists were hired--"ie by Intertek," McClellan wrote. "If you can say without consultation with Monsanto, that would be great. If there was any review of the reports by Monsanto or their legal representatives, that needs to be disclosed."
McClellan instructed them to disclose any contact. If they didn't, then that's not a fault of McClellan's instructions, and McClellan's instructions were not followed.
Actually, McClellan specifically instructed them to disclose if Monsanto or their legal representatives reviewed the reports. That's a whole different statement than disclosing any contact. The panelists could all have been consultants for Monsanto who were hired by Intertek and be 100% following instructions without disclosing Monsanto ties under the wording used.
I suppose I'd keep up more if the browser wasn't so easy to tweak as to remove the things that bother me. AdBlock has been needing replacement for a while (like since before he sold out) but last time I looked uBlock just wasn't compelling enough. Thanks for the reminder. uMatrix looks interestingly powerful.

Actually I believe Satya would lean more towards explaining how it was your karma and you should just accept it.
He might even go so far as to say "You're holding it wrong"
Unfortunately, the 20 somethings seem to have issues understanding they don't know everything, instead railing against "procedure" and "rules".
Well, the offer still stands
Declined. But you're first in line to go into the nursing home. Just think about who is going to be wiping your ass when you get there.
Likely a robot, designed by someone before millennials got their hands on it. (Don't need an anal appendectomy because wipe #3 was misprogrammed!)
I am not running Oracle, hence the "not needing to read the fine print" :)
That tidbit will preclude Oracle from any system I have running, period.

nobody needs 1080i video either, 480i should be enough for anyone.

From what I've seen 23G would be a fairly reasonable cap - she is bumping up near 10GB not infrequently...
This year.

Yes, we are, as evidenced by the phrase "on average" in the post you replied to. Thanks for agreeing.
But not for the reasons cited.
