As an H1B I regularly see certain other H1Bs where it takes more than two of those to complete less than half of the deliverables that I complete and deliver in the same time frame, who also are extremely averse to both initiative for taking new tasks and responsibility for their shoddy work, while at the same time proclaiming how hard it is to do something like installing a package with yum/yast, but always give lip service to their bosses. Yet they are always the ones patted on the back, getting plaquettes and vacation bonuses for "achievements" which to me a routine stuff I do twice weekly. And I am always the one everyone doesn't even want to talk about, but every 6 to 12 months I gat a new responsibility shoved on my plate, and everybody runs to me when there is a problem with some customer (otherwise they won't allow me to talk with them).
Am I making at least twice as much as those other H1Bs, that is not even the question.
Wealth pays for good health care system with good hospitals and trained physicians. Also more hospitals are located in the well doing areas. If the poor walks in to the ER, first they have the ability to reach the hospital on foot, and second they also benefit from the same higher quality materials and equipment, and not the least from the experience of the doctors, which is going to be not surprisingly better. So they do have a better chance of receiving good quality health care that is set up for the wealthy people, and they have much better change of actually reaching that healthcare than in the middle of nowhere town, where the closes hospital is the large animal vet in the next town 10 miles over.
Also, the article speaks about poor people. Not those that are homeless, not those that are in poverty. Just poor people, and in New York or San Fran you are poor making 40 - 50k annually, which is actually not bad compared to the below the poverty line homeless living on the corner.
Between 2007 and mid 2008 facebook wasn't like that. it was a close system for alumns, and there wasn't a ton of apps. Around that time they became greedy (err... read API happy) and a ton of junk went in there all trying to steal personality (err... read deep mine personal data, habits and so on).
With the certificate policies and the SCVP validation policies you can secure almost any network. The PACS and other access control will know what to look for. You still need to type a password to unlock the private key, and you still may be required to enter a second level password after the PIV authenticates you to a user ID only.
So you are saying Egypt blocked Facebook to stop Facebook spying on users. I wish my government was so forward looking and insightful.
The misery spreading douche bag dominated site needs to die.
Yet when I really think about it, I find that I have no good reasons to keep my computers connected to the internet. I went to BSG style networking at home. One network for local machines, going through a router that applies firewall riles in between, then another computer connected to the edge router, yet that computer isn't quite connected to the internet. I then run a virtual machine with an immutable hard disk and browser and make PPPoE connection from that VM to the router to gain internet routing. For every web page there is a separate instance of the VM (my underpowered server can run about 8 of these in parallel) and after I'm done with the page, the machine is shut down and new one created. I'm looking for more ways to automate it, and bring almost seamless experience, between the host and guest, but still the main idea is separation.
I would rather return to usenet and irc, and other services from the 90s as the internet for me is medium for communication, not a medium for consumption. Why waste my time alone in my house facebooking on netflixing when I can go out to a bar or a cinema with a date?
Well, you aren't far from the truth. The population on the planet is not sustainable if robots work. It is even not sustainable now, but we still have the subhumans on the subcontinent breed like no tomorrow. While there is still some small piece of work, there will be some money changing hands, and there will be breeding. But averaged over all, humans are poor, wretched, hungry mass, doomed to mere existence with short life span.
Humans are by nature (especially in the past) are r-selectors. The future, where robots case of everyone if a future of K-selectors. We have been moving gradually from r to K in accelerated pace in the last 400 years, and especially in the last 100. What the last 100 has given us is the r-selector numbers, with the quality of life of K-selectors. This is not sustainable. To complete our journey as species to K-selectors the majority will have to simply die off.
And naturally these days it will be the heads of corporations, (the owners of robots) who are significantly further into the K-selector status. As, only the execs and few employees at the top, and their immediate families will be granted by evolution, the K-selector status, because of their wealth. All the regular employees, will be left without work, and therefore if they do not revert back to r-selectors and start basic self-sustaining agriculture, will need to perish.
This has been so in ancient time - for early Eguipt to prosper they had to enslave Nubians, and other folk, though they had rich and fertile valley around Nile; for Rome (republic and early empire) to prosper, they had to kill and steal from most of Europe and Mediterranean leaving it in poverty; for the medieval feudal to prosper they had to reap (steal) all the products of the labour of their serfs; for the medieval Arab and Turkish empires to prosper to steal from the enslaved Christian territories turning the people to slaves; for the early US to steal from Africa and enslave human beings as well; for the Albion Empire to prosper they had to steal from most all people in the territories (like 1/3 of the planet); for contemporary US to prosper they have to steal from most rest of the world; and for the select few in US to prosper, they have to steal from most rest of their fellow country man. In contrast take contemporary Russia, and before that USSR - they don't really prosper - people were/are still mostly equal (some more than others), but if almost no one has their labour fruits stolen from them, they are only limited to the wealth they create personally, which is not much - not dying out of hunger, but not having great life span or anything.
Believe it or not, it is actually the repuglican politics (their principals, not their particular execution) that keep us from getting one step deeper. The repuglicans are actually way closer to a socialist policy than their counterparts. The demoncrats of today are much more pro-corporate than those of the past and much less ordinary person social and merit awarding than the repugs.
Just live with it, it is evolution, it is normal for a species to decrease their needs and demands from nature, thus becoming K-selectors, and there is no more effective way of decreasing your species impact than to just reduce numbers significantly.
The Star Trek pipe dream universe needs little more than 2-3M humans. Actually all of them work as well, there is no one that doesn't. The crew of the ships, the colonist forces and the farmers, all those work, they are not on basic income.
VW is selling completely restored and refurbished beetles from the 60's at very competitive low 20Ks. My next car will be one of these... or a dump truck or a mining truck (you know, the ones with tires 10 feet high).
Dunno, I do have some thoughts
I'm pretty happy going BSG style with my computers. Only one needs to be connected to internet. Behind a NAT running only Virtualbox under Linux; Virtualbox is running only a single VM configured with immutable harddrive - MS appcompat IE 11 on Win 7 (directly from MS http://modern.ie./ Every web page I visit is in separate vm. I kill the VM after I am done with the web page, and nothing remains on its disk. Other services that make sense to use are IRC and some usenet. the Web is place I no longer want to be, especially AJAX, WebRTC, WEBGL, and such. You simply don't need those. All the content is crap, the valuable resource are people interactions, and a ham radio will do better than facebook these days.
Since you work for a carrier now, and I quit in '07, are the tier 1s still pulling shenanigans forcefully aggregating routes? IIRC Level 3 aggregated several of our very specific/24 announces (and we had a good reason to have those small and better announces, as they were on other continents, but didn't want to run GRE or other tunneling to them, as they were supporting delay sensitive application - VoIP) back into one of our big(er)/18 or/19 announcements at that time. There was no logic whatsoever at least on the BGP algorithm level, they just had the policy that the smallest announce they will accept and re-advertise was a/19 or/20 from other tier 1s. And those were direct announces we made to UUNet and Global Crossing.
Funny thing I our AS number and the ASs numbers of a few of our peers and upsteams just popped into my mind when I went to HE's BGP looking glass. My fingers typed it without me thinking...
How about the system recognizes the blood on my face and the knife on my throat or the gun next to my head.
Using faces for passwords is as ridiculous as using fingerprints for passwords. Biometrics should only be used for usernames, passwords should be something you know, not something that you are.

In-N-Out is also pretty convenient, especially the protein style cheeseburger. Almost balanced for a keto diet.
Where are my points when I need them. Fully agree.
Not at all. Just saying that being poor in an affluent area may still mean that you are actually rich in a poor area.
Why do you presume I don't have a dashcam too?
Unfortunately I'm sure it doesn't.

If the wifi range is 2 meters, the baseball bat security works quite well.

so DTAG announced this in November here and MS did it here with availability of H2 2016.
I wonder if there is any discount for ex employees of that small, unheard of 260000 (iirc in 2006) people employing obscure German company.
