Though the new study wasn't designed to address racial disparities, experts speculate that the large difference reflects unequal access to preventative medicine and quality healthcare.
...as if cancer is caused by either of those. Political alert!
Yes, technically. But in practice, that only applies to the initial programming. After that, one must do a block erase to prepare for writing, so changing a single word requires (re)programming more than one.
"Typical ROM chips could only be written (or burn) once but still, a ROM chip has to be writable at some point;-)"
No, ROM chips are manufactured with the data an intrinsic part of the silicon, the chip mask changes for different data. If it's writable once, it's a PROM, not a ROM.
"ROM" as a name for full system software loads is a poorly chosen misnomer.
The solution is to require all colleges and universities to rename themselves to one of a limited number of names. A partial list might include:
Princeton
Harvard
University of Chicago
Yale
Columbia
Stanford
MIT
Duke
...for after all, it's been shown that it's not the education which matters as much as the name on a diploma. As a bonus, it would reduce the amount of resources wasted on collegiate sports.
"5G is viewed as a technology that can support the developing Internet of Things (IOT) market, which refers to millions -- or potentially billions -- of internet-connected devices that are expected soon to come on to the market."
Sounds more likely to be the Beginning of End of the Internet As We Know It than the "fourth industrial revolution."
I thought Apple was only renting space to developers, and got a fixed percentage from them. Isn't setting/raising prices something developer's should decide to do? Or are things somehow different in the UK?
(yes, I know the other article was about a court case in the US)
Now adjust that study for intelligence and vocabulary. Profanity is the simplest form of emphasis, used by those lacking the vocabulary to express themselves with more meaningful and less crude words.
Especially "fuck," where George Carlin was right. If you have limited intelligence and vocabulary, it can be the universal adjective/verb/noun.
H1-B is market interference the way it would be if there were tariffs for kitchen appliances, except for refrigerators. It's special case treatment, which skews the market.
The market interference is requiring a visa to work here in the first place.
If you want to argue for fully open borders, that's a different thing.
Whoever wrote the summary is wrong. Razer isn't offering $25K for the return of the prototypes - it's offering up to $25K for "information that leads to the identification, arrest and conviction of the thief." It's been reported that way by multiple sources.
"a policy that would effectively end H1-B and hence any immigration of tech workers is like *removing* market interference?"
It wouldn't do that at all. It would remove the special case treatment of tech workers. They would be able to immigrate on the same basis as anyone else.
If you want to argue for open borders, that's completely different.
"A $100k min wage for H1-Bs... brings us closer to a free market?"
Absolutely. Reductio ad absurdum - if it were $10M, it would be like the market interference of the H1-B program didn't exist at all. How hard is that to understand?
"Whenever the government interferes with the free market's price discovery mechanism it is always a bad thing."
...which is an argument to eliminate the special treatment provided by the H-1B program. The mentioned change is a step toward that from the status quo. Are you opposed, or do you wish to eliminate all barriers to immigration so the H-1B program would be superflous?
"Is there another economic explanation that could account for the difference between then and now?"
Of course. As government subsidies for higher education (Pell grants, subsidized and readily available student loans) increase, so too do tuitions. They'd be stupid not to suck up all that easy money. It's not simple supply and demand, as it's not anywhere close to a free market.
Just wait (probably until after the next administration) until "free" college becomes the norm, people with student loans are expected even less to keep their commitment to pay them off, and we go even further down the path toward a lack of any personal responsibility. For a reality check, see what the government says in headlines - "Grants and scholarships are free money." Obviously written by someone with a liberal arts degree and no understanding of economics, or the true costs associated with "free." If higher ed is "free", expect even more degreed programs in underwater basket weaving.
I truly feel sorry for millennials - things are going to be hard. People voted themselves a dole long ago (accelerating around the 2nd Roosevelt), and it was the following generation which got the benefit - with the bill left to generations beyond them. And that's continuing. It sucks to be you, but thanks for funding the bankrupt Social Security system for me, which was robbed to pay for other welfare programs, leaving a big paper IOU.
The sad state of affairs is that millenials deserve it. Instead of waking up to reality and becoming fiscally responsible, what I see is younger generations expecting even more government subsidies, creating an even larger problem to kick down the road. You and your children will reap what you sow.
So my neghborhood supermarket is anti-trust because it chooses to sell Coca Cola but not RC Cola?
No, it's antitrust because while you can go to a different supermarket to buy your RC Cola, Apple maintains a monopoly on storefronts for app purchases. Contrast that with their major competitor, Google/Andoid, where one can get apps from Amazon and many others. It's antitrust because there is no competitive market available to developers - they're forced to pay whatever fees Apple dictates in order to sell their apps to the end user. That drives up consumer costs.
An ASR-33 has the paper tape, and optionally the built-in modem. A KSR-33 lacks the paper tape unit. The modems came in various forms and combinations over the years, some with rotary dial, some with touch-tone dial, acoustical coupler or DAA.
If it's a supplier showing an inflated "MSRP", that's deliberately misleading - they're not the manufacturer and therefore it's not the MSRP. If the MSRP does come from the actual manufacturer, it's not misleading even if the typical retail sales price is lower. If it's "list price," or "suggested retail price," or some other generic term, it's basically meaningless and caveat emptor.
It's not like someone shopping Amazon doesn't have Internet access. Canada's fining Amazon a million loonies because some people are Googletards and don't comparison shop?
In my experience, Amazon's prices are usually the lowest or close to it. Although, on occasion an item might be listed significantly higher than any reasonable retail price - I'd guess some suppliers try to take advantage of "must have" or truly naive customers when all other suppliers are out of stock on that item.

Nope. EEPROM is byte (or word) reprogrammable, flash requires one to reprogram much larger blocks of data.
So, you're arguing that a device image which the user can change is also software they can't change. Whatever.
The same, except that one is physical, and the other just an image which could be downloaded. That you have a COCO II speaks volumes.
"It's flashable ROM."
;-)"
No, it's flash memory.
"Typical ROM chips could only be written (or burn) once but still, a ROM chip has to be writable at some point
No, ROM chips are manufactured with the data an intrinsic part of the silicon, the chip mask changes for different data. If it's writable once, it's a PROM, not a ROM.

You don't need to sign your messages by hand like that, you can add a .sig in your profile and it's automatic.

"Modern software is just too complex"
But he was talking about Win7. Didn't you read the summary? MS says Win7 isn't modern technology.
Not just literal Personal Computers, but what about servers? It's not like database or web servers will get replaced with iPhones.

"You have to focus very closely to understand that is being said much of the time, and even then, repeated listenings are sometimes necessary."
You're describing all of the tech support calls I've had to make in the past few years.
The summary didn't even bother to mention the Flash crap.
Hey, why not just have a switch, so users can chose if they want to use that "feature?" Win-win, for users and developers.
