OK yes it is bad, but how does someone running a desktop/laptop get hit? In order to exploit the bug, wouldn't another process not of your knowing have to be running? I get it is a major issue for cloud machines where they are sliced and diced for multiple users, but my machine I don't see it. If I have processes running that are foreign that are not standard system processes, I think I have bigger problems than this to worry about.
Epi pens are old tech too. The are high priced because they can. Hearing aids are the same. Need the FDA stamp, which provides the necessary barrier to entry. As long as it is not medical, like in the case of hunting, price comes down. There has been a vicious cycle of drug/medical costs covered by insurance, so the consumer did not see the high prices, just the high insurance and even that was often hidden since the employer paid. As prices have come up and up, people are seeing the high insurance rates and often jump to high deductible plans, where they do see the actual costs before the deductible is met. It may break the cycle, but I am not that hopeful. When you can literally extort people with their life, price is no object.
If they were charging 350/eye I don't think anyone would be complaining. The problem is the drug industry has been raping the US lately. Have HEP-C, 85 grand, and then there was shekal(sp?) who raised priced on old drugs just because he could. Epi-pens also spiked and had no changes to justify the price surge. And then we have the drug industry that has totally abandoned antibiotics. Something almost all of us need from time to time. Just not profitable.
I just read that Foxconn is getting another billion in incentives in WI to come there. And for the almost 5 billion in incentives, they are only guaranteeing they will hire 3000, but up to 13000. So if it is 3000, WI would have been better off opening the factory themselves and becoming state owned.
Did they do it all on purpose for some twisted marketing reason, from slowing it down, to leaking the problem, to giving a solution. The X is not selling well. I was at my carrier's store getting a new phone today (not an apple) and asked about the X. The manager said they had 20 in stock and they were not moving. Worse for them, they own it, can't discount it and can't return unsold inventory back to apple. There could be some very unhappy carriers if the get stuck with a bunch of X's. Could this battery getting headlines actually help sales of the X in some weird way?
but does anyone use these things for serious listening? Just tonite I heard a piece of Saint Saens Symphony #3 on the radio. It was just not satisfying, so I pulled my CD of it. The organ pedal part of this piece is just not the same unless it envelops you, and I just don't see these speakers doing it.
You are just so wrong I don't know where to start. I've had hounds for close to two decades. Have you ever guided a friend so you can grab a couple of french fries 3 blocks away in the curb? I had a beagle who would pull me on a different route to do just that. 3 french fries. Have you ever smelled a rat in a tree 20 feet above you? I had a beagle who the first time he did that at 10pm at night I just thought was barking at the moon. Until I got the flashlight out and saw two beady eyes staring back at me I would not have believed it. After that I knew, and would get a pole to chase it out of the tree. That particular beagle I had was probably the best scent hound I'd had or fostered. He usually had a kill once a week be it a squirrel, possum, rabbit or rat. Dogs have a long snout for extra receptors and hounds do this thing where they collect scent in their noses. Humans do not do this. Hounds ears are extra long to funnel scent to their noses. Those ears are shaped like they are for a reason.
Wow, I read the one about the A-pillar and find it hard to believe. How did that get thru the dealer prep? I've heard of some pretty crazy stuff getting delivered but never something you could see with a casual glance. And then for the delivery guy to say I don't know if I can get you a loaner! My caddy dealer offers loaners if the oil change is going to take more than 30 minutes.
The coal plant that failed was producing close to 600MW. The max output from the graph in the article showed the battery system inject less than 10MW max into the grid. Who pickup up the other 500+ MW? The other coal plant that came online within 6 secs. Basically all the batteries did was reduce the size of the brownout.
So true, we have become a nation of party over country. I am center left, but wanted our DA (left) to resign after she got caught with a very bad DUI. It was incomprehensible to me that she did not, even knowing the right governor (Perry) would have gotten to choose her replacement. She was not just drunk but belligerent with the officers and kept saying "Do you know who I am?". Video went nationwide. I've wondered if part of this is due to sports, where "my team" must win at all costs even if "my team" consists of a bunch of wife beaters.
There was a movie a few years back detailing the history of East Germany and they had some people go thru the archives of what had been collected about them before the reunification. The chinese have just discovered a much more efficient way to collect data. It is already in the US to some extent with toll tags keeping track of many peoples movements and of course lots of cameras. I thought the US cameras were only reviewed on demand. I'm sure we will buy this from china and keep track of people like we do cars in no time.
Friend teaches at an "underperforming" high school in the US. He explained to me one of the few times he can send a kid to the VP office is if they have a phone out and are actively using and refuse to give it to him for the duration of class. He sends student to VP. The VP asks the student for the phone. Student usually refuses. VP sends student back to class with phone. Zero punishment. Actually an incentive. Student gets to avoid class for 15 or 20 minutes.
The kids know they run the place, and the parents back it up. I think France is smart to do this. I know from what he has told me I'd last like 1 minute as a teacher before I was fired. I just have to laugh when I see all these comments that think they know how schools work. One neighbor down the street from another country is appalled at US schools. She assigns homework to her kids because the schools refuse.
The point about dragging is the main reason health care cost explodes. People are "saved" from dying by drugs, procedures, and vegetative states. Of course in the end they still die, probably not even knowing they were alive for the last couple of years of their life. But the family could go visit the body once a month at the nursing home. Another big cost driver is people are fat and do not exercise. I saw the UK is starting to delay care for extremely obese until they lose some weight. Probably a good start. Medicine cannot fix 500lb people.
And welding that car is going to be free? If all he wants is a test, send it up empty. If he has the time/effort available to blast a dumb car up to Mars, he has time to build something useful. I get so tired of every word that comes out of musk's mouth is taken as gospel.
No not necessarily. How about run a competition either at the HS or college level where students compete for a slot on the shot. 3K pounds could run 30 100lb experiments and get kids super excited about space.
What is sad is that 3000lbs of scientific experiments will not get done. Elon, if you want to practice heavy lifting, at least get some value out of it if it works. I thought you were smart. Smart people don't waste precious opportunities.
Funny that. I just had a conversation with my brother that my 30 year old maytag is still humming. He said don't get rid of it, his experience has been newer models last only 5 or 6 years.

You must mean fake news. That is always what Trump says about the truth.

They are in the business of campaign contributions. And as you point out those contributions tend to come from the hard right or left.

Worse you may owe taxes if the option price is less than the current "market value" which is probably the price the last round paid.
Nope no suspension, nada, nothing is standard. Shoot, he told me one girl held a knife on another and she was back the next day.

Congress would have to authorize a yuge increase in the NASA budget. He and Moore are perfect for each other, Moore wants to roll back the amendments.
I use alpine. It cracks me up how big an email can be with just "Hello World". A few KBytes for like 12 bytes if info,

Unfortunately the kid is now 26(in car years) and still living in the basement.

What else could he say. He might end up dead from a drink at dinner.
