By the time software reaches Beta it has been leaked, speculated about and advertised for several years, This Google project never made it out of Epsilon.
.... There is already a well-established protocol for such behavior. It involves tailgating, 5-25 second bursts of the horn, and (if the weather is warm enough) shouting out the window and some emphatic hand-gestures
Unfortunately, this already well-established protocol has an equally well-known and well-established propensity to induce emphatic hand-gestures, stubbornness, bellicosity and road rage in the receivers of these behavioral protocols.
Tell that to the people who were blacklisted during the McCarthy era for supposed communist sympathies and lost their livings in education and the arts.
This is neither bad usage, nor is it slang. It is a particular word from the specialized business vocabulary. As such it makes sense used between people who share the same occupation as they discuss work. "Compute" used in noun form as a contraction of "computing capacity" appears to be one of these words for use by those involved in the specialized business of cloud computing.
Perhaps it was a bad idea to use a specialized term from cloud computing in a article about cloud computing meant to be viewed by a general audience, but that is no reason to get bent out of shape. Even the person who first complained about it, did understand what the author meant by the term.
What green1 said, plus CEOs didn't receive 250X what their workers were paid, and when they proved inept, they were canned the same way an inept worker was canned. They didn't get to bail out with multi-million dollar golden parachutes.
Depends upon how deeply you care about the results. And when considering his options, I doubt whether Mr. Assange would classify this as "wishful thinking."
We don't want any of that! If all the criminals are rehabilitated, our police will have no one to push around but law-abiding citizens . . . Oops! Too late.
IIRC the incubation period between exposure and first symptoms of bubonic plague is approximately six days, which would mean a determined walker could cover over 100 miles spreading his disease wherever he stopped to eat, converse, and sleep. Retarding that spread would be the fact that most travelers were not traveling any great distance. Serfs and peasants were tied to the land, seldom traveling further than the nearest market, but there were peddlers, pilgrims and couriers, as well as the upper classes and their servants, who were more mobile.
All things considered, two miles a day does not seem too unbelievable a pace if the disease was spread by human vectors. And yes, of course, railroads and steamships were the catalyst for the great nineteenth century human migrations and, naturally, their diseases.

Ah, yes! The "Both Sides Do It" argument comes to archaeological discussion.
Right. Most people saved money with that ACA healthcare thing.

Removing economic stumbling blocks is one way to determine whether girls can be interested in IT.
Another way would be providing the more misogynistic men working in the field with crazy glue chapsticks.
In Monroe's case there would be little question about what to grow. Mammorabilia.
Surely a plow, not a blower!!!
And several of the girls, and all of their curling irons, are hot!

I think of them more like they are occasionally competing members on the same team.

You do know the definition of the word "urban," don't you?

That is my go to supposition in almost every news story --- especially those involving science.
So who do I have to fook to get out of this lousy movie?
"Modern country [music]", isn't that an oxymoron?
It only became an oxymoron when you added "[music]."
Sponge Bath wrote "modern country band."
And those Think Tanks will, of necessity, become more logic-based, so while they may become unemployed, people will never "loose" jobs, ever again.

Quit bellyaching, you need a little roughage.

Repatriation of politicians with reality would be a better choice.
If this is the real deal, everyone will shit themselves when they see what can be done with it.
Dyslexics, sheesh!

Those waiting lists only get longer when you try to take care of your uninsured and under-insured through the emergency room.
