The ease with which updates can be pushed now, might in fact be a major cause of insecurity. Few companies would delay a product launch for security when they can just patch it later. Try comparing security to products that *can't* be updated later.
Murder is illegal, accept when the government wants somebody dead. Theft is illegal, accept when the government decides it's entitled to a portion of your income.
"widely recognized not only as one of America's sharpest legal minds, but someone who brings to his work a spirit of decency, modesty, integrity, even-handedness and excellence."
I don't want a Supreme Court Justice who is one of the "sharpest legal minds". I want one who's level of reading comprehension equals or exceeds that of a five-year-old. And make sure he's read the Constitution.
[...] respect and admiration from leaders from both sides of the aisle.
Lots of things are subsidized by the government and our tax dollars. Like $550,000,000,000 PER YEAR IN DEFENSE SPENDING. More than 20 times the amount of the top 10 biggest spenders COMBINED. I'm not worried about tens of millions in subsidized alternative energy rebates that arguably helps to make our country cleaner. Get a grip people.
While that is true, it is worth noting that the spending on defense is in fact the primary purpose of our federal government, it is right in the Constitution.
Spending on solar panels is not.
Isn't spending on solar the same as spending on defense, security-wise? Isn't our need for oil, and our giving tons of money to countries which hate us, one of the major reasons we need so much defense?
mdsolar has a very anti-nuclear agenda and will post all kinds of non-issue stories with "the sky is falling" headlines. Slashdot, please do something and get rid of this one.

will not get rid of him completely, but will make it much more obvious.
I'm a noob at element hiding, can anyone tell me if the above can be improved?
But there should hardly be any network effects. Switching to the competition requires one button click. Drivers can drive for both Uber and not-Uber at the same time. An app could be made to have them bid on multiple driving apps, based on either time or price or both. In comparison, the Microsoft lock-in consists of millions of developer-hours dedicated to Microsoft systems, and similarly with employee training. The Facebook lock-in consists of having one place for all your friends, plus all the stuff you posted there. But what is Uber's lock-in?
Don't bother waiting. Arrange a test with a mathematician or college professor or friend, asking them to prepare a list containing both prime and non-prime numbers. Then show them how you can easily recognize which are prime and which aren't (hint: you can't, you're just fooling yourself, cure yourself of your delusions before you waste too much time on this).
Uber is just an app. If they want to pay Chinese drivers more than they charge Chinese customers, to get marketshare -- why not let them? If they raise their prices, people can switch to another app. The other app could be briefly subsidized as well, if needed.
You spend twice my yearly income to support a human that probably won't contribute to society OR breed and pass your genes into the future.
Whereas you'd spend it on a bigger house, a faster car, a bigger TV, expensive restaurants, a yacht? If taking really good care of his daughter makes him happy, than he's happy *and* a good person. A better person than you.
80%+ of work done in first world societies are bullshit jobs and superfluos work. Most of which can be done by robots, better planing or, most of the time, simply left out all together.
Sadly, most of those jobs can't simply be eliminated, at least not spontaneously. I'd classify those jobs as either weapons or parasites. You need a lawyer because the other guy has a lawyer. If you don't advertise, you risk losing marketshare to one who does. All that paperwork is necessary because of millions and millions of laws. You can't just decide not to participate.
the Justice Department was discussing how to proceed in a continuing criminal investigation in which a federal judge had approved a wiretap, but investigators were stymied by WhatsApp's encryption
Easy, issue a statement saying "This is what you assholes get for all the illegal wiretaps, what did you expect would happen?" It's not like people are using encryption for the fun of it.
To be fair, the computer has almost certainly analyzed thousands of Lee Se-dol's previous matches. Now that Lee has seen the computer play a bit, maybe he can win a few more times.

Seems like a great service.

Accept that your spelling is not exceptional.

I want someone who both parties hate.
Thankfully this will be over in late July when the free upgrade offer ends.
Then they'll start pushing users to upgrade to Windows 10 Extra Crapware Edition.
We appreciate it.
Who will pay to publish and host these papers?
I'd be willing to do it.
Getting old is horrible. There is only thing worse. The alternative.
Also, your mind starts to go. You start to some words.

An automated propulsion system superior the the abilities of human riders.
Give me a lever, and a place to stand...
And a crane to lift the lever...
How many station wagons would it take to haul 600 lbs worth of 2 TB drives?
Less than 1.
If you have less than one car, it might not carry as much as you were hoping.

Is there anything actually good about the TPP?
Next thing you know, we'll be expected to ring up and bag our own groceries.

Your apocryphal story might have a little more insight if his job caused him to have the stroke.
You mean, like if stress were a major contributor to cardiovascular disease?

Of course, the inevitable remains inevitable.
