For any particular project I might have a handful of links that are open at one time. I typically don't have 100 tabs open, but 20-40 is pretty typical.
if you think any candidate, that isn't you, perfectly reflects your values, you're either an idiot, or partisan hack. Sorry for the redundancy.
Now some of the more extreme candidates might not be your first choice, but their very presense forces the other candidates to at least consider those issues.
That being said, most poeple vote for teh same party time and time again.
I don't see how continuing to trade garbage securities as though everything was fine would have made things better.
The mortgage backed securities problem is that they were crappy assets, and everyone pretended they were just fine. Then when someone realized they were crap, everyone started calling in their bets and the system collapsed.
Continuing to pretends they were fine and letting the system continue to build on them would have been MORE disatersous, not less.
The liquidity of the mortgage backed securities market didn't actually change the value of the underlying mortgages, people just REALIZED that they were stuck in a ponzi scheme of near worthless debt. Ive never heard someone suggest that allowing a ponzi scheme to continue would lessen the impact
Okay, but what if the company goes bankrupt, or there is a better competitor, or they were making a now obsolete product? Then what do the workers have?
You're free to form your own company and run it that way, but the sad fact is most companies run like that go under, or they need more resources to continue than the current owner/workers can provide. Also the founders simply might not want to let go of the control they have.
Sorry, I don't buy that the "basic math" is somehow an impediment to complex problems. At the public school level the basic math matters, giving calculators lets kids skip the learning and practice they need for the basic skill.
At the high school level algebra matters, and calculators don' help much. Heck with integers I found calculators confused students even more.
When you get to trig the calulator does help a bit, but when you get into stats and calc, it doesn't help again.
Calculators are just a tool, and a rather limited one at that, if the teacher marks the logic, as almost every math teacher I ever had did, they offer almost no benefit. The sad part is watching todays teenagers struggling at their McJobs and how you could possibly question what their cash register says after they make a mistake.
Realy? I've fond hard drives to be cheap and effective. 1TB of storage is a monsterous stack of DVD's or a small hard drive. 2TB is even worse.
As far as hard drive reliability, make 2 or 3 copies. 3 2TB hard drives is pretty easy to handle, DVD's pretty darn difficult. I don't have a blu ray drive, but I dont' see it being momumentally better.
Optical is dead, and flash drives aren't reliable.
I think it is important that this information is released.
However it sets a VERY scary precident that all researches should be afraid of. If someone grants linformation for a particular purpose, it should be only used for that purpose, and only released withthe consent of those providing the information.
For someone to simply overrule that agreement suggests they aren't enforcable or even valid. Which means researchers can't guarantee confidentiality. Breaking nconfidentiality agreements should always be done very carefully, and only for very specific reasons.
Maybe this was such a case, but it really shouldn't be taken lightly.

Though the research may be valid, the summary article is a disaster, which is becoming quite common in the media today.
The "journalists" in science based reporting often have NO CLUE on basic scientific stats, ie odds ratios are routinely wrongly reported or commented on. But I've noticed even more basic factual errors aind inferences being drawn. I've pretty much given up on media reports of science, I simply find the source article if it's at all interesting.
You might not see it now, and some people never do, but it's there.
One thing that the more technical people have trouble with and I think turns them off is the softer nature of some of these courses.
History is important becasue it shows the effects of technology and consequences, it's also quite big on the important of context. Things that are right in one situation are disasterous in others. There are strong cases for many of the fields. I have to say I've found some of those basic courses like philosophy, psyche 101 etc much more useful in the real world than some of the grad level math courses. I think those that discount them are missing the difference between "higher eduation" and "job training".
It looks like their vectorized version has 1 less colour than the original. Sure the vector version is nicer, but if every pixel is important, why would the algorithm decide to drop the light blue?
But you can't completely opt out of the Presidential level alert. Don't worry, I'm sure that nobody will bother investing the time or energy to crack a system that would allow sending out of spam without any way for the users to screen it. Like that sounds totally useless, I can't imagine ANY way to make money with such a system.
Well I own google stock. As an owner (tiny tiny fraction), I don't think buying the music industry is a good use of googles money. If google was to spend a few billion on buying the music industry, what sort of return on investment would we see?
They didn't remove your use of the asset. They're just selling copies.
Might be a bit of fraud, plagiarism etc, but it's mostly copyright.
If they're selling it, it is a bit easier to prove "lost sales" vs movie/music copyright infringement, and the people buying the illegal copies might not know, otherwise it's mostly the same.
What you label a "software thief" isn't any different from warez pirates or those illegally copying movies.
The question really is why does Apple force a ToS that prohibit the use of GPL code.
The second question is if the benefit of GPL and other free code is strong enough to make these closed platforms uncompetative. In some cases it will be better to simply use the GPL code and not realase on platforms that don't allow GPL code.
You can use and distribute copyleft software like anyone else.
The expensive part is that you can't (easily/effective) sell it, though to be fair you likely didn't pay for it either.
For users copyleft software can be some of theleast expensive. I don't have to upgrade, I don't have to pay for it, it doesn't have time bombs in it. If tehre are problems I can get them fixed without relying on the origional vendor to do it, and my data isn't locked up in proprietary formats.
I'm an investor, it provides more liquidity. It doesn't change the value of the stock, it at most causes slight minor price swings, which, with the use of limit orders doesn't affect me.

A claw hammer is very good at being a nail installation device and a pry bar.
Those are two different tasks.
Yeah those bastards should work on implementing some sort of incognito mode when you're on the internet.
If sale is legal, you could have ALWAYS made your own.
If possession is prohibited, you'd still be breaking the law.
The existence of a 3D printer changes little, it just takes it from possible, to trivial.

You're not endorsing their political cause.
You're taking advantage of them.
Go ahead take the money from them, the fewer resources they have to advance their agenda the less success they'll have.
Google offers many services that are very good, and are among the best available.
They SHOULD be high in the rankings.
Really, what evidence are they searching for?
Evidence they called each other nasty names? How is anything on facebook even relevant to a divorce case?
In our democracy all candidates are a trade off.

He had many points, but does communism actually solve any of them?
All this debate between systems is swapping one set of trade offs for another.
Quite honestly if we can get an effective and honest, or at least not overwelmingly corrupt government any of the systems can work.
The greater the intervention of the state, the greater the rewars of being corrupt, and the greater the importantance of not being corrupt. becomes.

Accountant/Engineers can have great career paths.
Plus your strong math skills will suit you well.

So we should wait till everyone is symptomatic?
Many conditions can be treated more effectively and cheaply if they're detected early.
Some conditions dont' even become symptomatic until significant damage is done.
The question really is how to balance the best treatment with the financial constraints.
Well I own google stock.
As an owner (tiny tiny fraction), I don't think buying the music industry is a good use of googles money.
If google was to spend a few billion on buying the music industry, what sort of return on investment would we see?
I don't imagine the big guys selling out anyway.
No this is copyright infringement.

What is the problem with high frequency trading?
I'm an investor, it provides more liquidity.
It doesn't change the value of the stock, it at most causes slight minor price swings, which, with the use of limit orders doesn't affect me.
