I guess you're not from the US? You pay the same price for service either way. They subsidize the cost of the phone to lock you into a two year contract.
I don't think anyone thinks you stop learning. I think everyone assumes you can't cram 4 years of actual computer science into 6 weeks. You can't possible learn all the fundamental elements from the major courses (Operating Systems, Data Structures, etc).
Replace the electronics when it's actually dead or doesn't meet your needs, not just because it's not as shiny as it once was.
New high end smartphone is $200 on contract in the US. That's about $17/mo to have the latest, fastest phone with all the newest features. For a device that I use constantly and carry around eight to sixteen hours, that is essentially nothing. That's between one and a half and three cents per hour.
I understand everyone has a different set of financial circumstances, but for a device that useful, that we spend that much time using, why NOT have the latest and greatest, if it's well within your financial means? I'm not talking about buying a $100,000 car here. We're talking about $100/year for a device that most people use very frequently.
This basically nails it. I have a friend who gets a dozen resumes a week from these kids. And literally they expect a $100k start salary after completing a six week coding bootcamp from some "dojo".
Maybe there is work for cranking out web sites but I'm really confused as to who is hiring non-classicly trained Ruby Bootcamp Graduates? Need a website? Great, download a CMS (Drupal, Wordpress, Joomla) and buy/make a template for it. Need an internal line of business app - great, who uses Ruby for that? I'm just not sure what they're hiring these guys and gals to do?
It doesn't mean to make a wholesale knock-off copy of something. That misses the point entirely. Everything is a remix: we all take elements from the thinks that came before us and improve on them to invent new things. We don't just try to copy an entire product from beginning to end. That doesn't advance the art, it's what a leech does to benefit from real innovation.
Ok come on now, let's not be disingenuous here. If you want to travel more than 100 miles there is a pretty damn long wait in there.
If you don't want to be disingenuous then let's not ignore the first car anyone thinks of when they say electric car: The Tesla with a nearly 300 mile range.
Once you remove all the stupid widgets/tiles/whatever from the startmenu and shrink it back to a normal size (resize it at the top left) and turn off all the animations that just slow the whole desktop down, it's not bad. I actually prefer it to Windows 7 in general because it feels faster, even thought I don't know that it is and I like the virtual desktops and darker/flat UI.
The problem I've had is about 2-3 times a week I'll get the dreaded DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION blue screen of death and have to reboot.
Actually, a lot of them are. Just Google around you can find lots. These companies pay for the PSTN connection but offer free VoIP services on the internet. This allows the actual caller's identity to be abstracted behind proxys or compromised hosts or whatever. Or, they can use legitimate VoIP services but using funds that are hard to trace, like prepaid credit cards and buying Skype minutes or using bitcoins to purchase service from some of the shadier providers, etc.
Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case.
The only reason she wasn't charged is because no one is going to sacrifice their careers going after her.
And the same people going after her are the ones that defended similar things done previously.
This is just a strawman argument. I didn't defend anyone who did similar things. I think Patraeus got exactly what he deserved. Criminal charges, thousands in fines, disgraced and his career ruined. But because I'm not a hypocrite, I think Hilary deserves the same.
Pointing out someone else's hypocrisy isn't the same as justifying the most recent.
Oh great! Just so we're clear then, you agree what Hilary did was wrong, right?
The same scandals came out under Reagan, Bush, and other Republicans, and nobody from the right cared. But Hillary does it, and everyone loses their mind.
This logic is just baffling to me. So it's ok to commit a crime if someone else did?
They lost their clearance, sometimes their jobs, but never ended up in jail.
If it was up to me, I don't think she should be put in jail. But certainly fined and security clearances revoked, which would obviously preclude her from being president. Which is terrifying, given Donald Trump would be the alternative. (Yes, that's correct, I don't support Donald Trump.)
In January 2015, the New York Times reported that the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Justice Department had recommended bringing felony charges against Petraeus for providing classified information to Broadwell. Petraeus denied the allegations and was reported to have had no interest in a plea deal.[196] However, on Tuesday, March 3, 2015, the U.S. Justice Department announced that Petraeus agreed to plead guilty in federal court in Charlotte, North Carolina to a charge of unauthorized removal and retention of classified information.[197] On April 23, 2015, a federal judge sentenced Petraeus to two yearsâ(TM) probation plus a fine of $100,000. The fine was more than double the amount the Justice Department had requested.[198]
Mishandling of classified information isn't a partisan issue.
"that radically reshapes federal law governing a massive sector of the economy, which flourished due to hundreds of billions of dollars of investment made in reliance on the policy the order throws overboard"
Love the subtle implied extortion. Either drop the lawsuit or we'll pull funding. It's a bluff. If they don't continue to build out we'll see fiber deployments continue to eat away at their subscriber base until widespread 5G deployments (years if not decades away) arrive.
It's neither "messy" nor "arrogant". Those are both poor choices of words to describe it. It's a very clear tactical goal, an obvious one is so the US adversaries don't know which ships to attack to stop a nuclear strike. I'd be shocked if any major nuclear power told everyone exactly what ships carried nukes. Unless their Navy is so small it's just obvious.
Snowden is going to lecture someone about responsible disclosure? Give me a fucking break. This is just Snowden remindering everyone that Snowden still exists, don't forget about me! I'm the REAL leaker! The guy is an absolutely shameless self promoter.

You misunderstand the meaning.

Personally I like to reward invention. I don't think it's ok for someone to steal the work of others and offer a cheap knockoff at 1/5th the price.
Xiaomi is an embarassing iPhone knock off. Just look at their website.

If it's not public, then it's on a private network where you should run your own CA. So what's the issue?
The telecom industry isn't a free market. It's heavily regulated with government granted monopolies.
These voip calls aren't free.
Actually, a lot of them are. Just Google around you can find lots. These companies pay for the PSTN connection but offer free VoIP services on the internet.

This hit way to close to home.
I can't tell if you are really that dumb, or just a liar.
How about we act like adults?
I never said anything Hillary did was "OK".
You're clearly attempting to minimize it.
Just that the FBI effectively cleared her.
That's exactly the problem, James Comey:
Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case.
The only reason she wasn't charged is because no one is going to sacrifice their careers going after her.

Not unlike HIPAA. Lots of noise, not too many actual fines or actions.
Uh, what? You clearly don't work in healthcare or you'd know about alll the breaches and reporting rules and all of the fines levied by HHS.
You'd think you could at least do a cursory Google search before spouting off about subjects you're completely uneducated on.
The same scandals came out under Reagan, Bush, and other Republicans, and nobody from the right cared. But Hillary does it, and everyone loses their mind.

Remember Patraeus (registered Republican)?

I found the "paying customer" caveat in TFA a little peculiar. I wonder if Google is bigger overall, but offers a lot more free services?

Video Speed Controller will change your life.
I use also Greasemonkey with scripts to circumvent Anti-Adblock measures in WIRED
Just switch from Adblock Plus to uBlock Origin. WIRED doesn't harass me about using it and it's better anyway.
uBlock is also much more efficient. There is zero reason to continue to use ABP.
