The example cited in TFS breaks down. It claims that underlying the procedural and OO methods of moving students to classroms, the work done is the same. And then it conveniently shows the functions/methods move() and move_student() as "implementation not shown".
But in real life (and OOP), moving a student might differ for each instance. Some students might have to stop by their lockers to drop off some books. Or sneak out into the parking lot to blow a butt between classes. Likewise, in OOP, the move_student() methods might differ between students. If heuristics are applicable, some students might choose a more efficient path, while the dumb ones wander through the senior lounge and get the snot beat out of them.
This VPN blocking isn't in Netflix's best interests. It is a demand imposed upon them by monopolist distributors in various markets. And it becomes something that Netflix is contractually obliged to do.
illegal subscribers
I wish they'd stop supporting what is (in the USA) an idea that this is somehow a criminal activity. Its simply a matter of civil contracts between studios, Netflix and Netflix subscribers.
There are different crime syndicates in power in different countries that control media distribution. Each one demands a piece of the action in order for studios to gain access to their territory. And a studio CEO only has so many knee caps.
Because TFA is shilling for outfits selling "offsets". The aviation industry has money. Al Gore Inc wants a cut. But the only way to create demand is by generating guilt.
Because that would eliminate the monopoly control outfits like Comcast have over the last mile. Cable TV would devolve into each service like HBO having their own streaming site available on the 'Net. And Comcast would have no reason to exist.
It's not like they (Comcast) still don't have a major head start over Google in terms of installed equipment that they could use and go into this same business. But they are too slow to shift their business plan over to the new model. Google knows this and is licking its chops like a tiger watching a crippled deer.
There are two branches in nuclear research: weapons and power.
Early on in the Nazis' research, Werner Heisenberg miscalculated* the critical mass necessary to produce a workable bomb, placing it at around one ton. Largely as a result of this, research on weapons production was halted. Hwever, it is entirely possible that research on power poduction continued on. Who really cares how heavy a fixed reactor core is?
*Or he mislead the Nazis for political or moral reasons.
I was referring to the engineering buildings adjacent to the factory (before they built the office towers). One story buildings probably 100 meters on a side.
the lights aren't flashing while children are present at a scheduled time every week.
This.
And the speed cameras are linked to the warning lights. So yes, a cop could stop a driver for doing 35 when preschool kids were walking home. But the cameras are disabled.
... productivity is up. You are effectively on call 24x7 thanks to e-mail and text messaging. And you are expected to work overtime without compensation.
We have a few speed cameras in school zones. Supposedly, when the kids are walking to/from school, they drop the school zone speed to 20 MPH from 35, indicate the reduction with flashing amber lights and enable the speed camera.
Except that they turn the damned 20 MPH zone on at random times during the day. No school starting/ending. No recess. But then, when preschool gets out at noon and all the mothers are walking the little kids home, its 35 with no cameras enabled. Its a scam. It has nothing to do with safety and everything to do with catching drivers who see no kids (but miss the warning light) and figure the 35 MPH limit is in effect.
Only 80? In Everett, we had about 400 in one room (a big f*cking room).
We used to call people who sat some distance away rather than walk over. The etiquette was to turn and face each other across a few hundred feet while conversing on the phone. On more than one occasion, I'd crack up the person I was talking to by whipping out a pair of binoculars.

Get ff my lawn, kid. In my day, we didn't need any stinkin' microscopes. We'd start pulling vacuum tubes and testing them.
Think about it.

Security through obscurity? I doubt there are many motivated espionage groups who can't get hold of a Kryoflux controller.
Earl Grey, hot.
Why are we obsessing over an industry
Because TFA is shilling for outfits selling "offsets". The aviation industry has money. Al Gore Inc wants a cut. But the only way to create demand is by generating guilt.
No thanks. I'll write checks made out directily to Gaia and bury them in my garden. No middle man needed.
Figure it that way (even with the multiplier for altitude effects). Then get back to me.
Atmosfair, a German organization that sells "offsets"
I thought I disabled ads.
P.S. In my day, we called them indulgences, not offsets.
then allow various vendors access
Because that would eliminate the monopoly control outfits like Comcast have over the last mile. Cable TV would devolve into each service like HBO having their own streaming site available on the 'Net. And Comcast would have no reason to exist.

All that's missing is the forced injects
Damn! I always though it was that cheap chair pinching me.
the boss in an open area with the workers in private areas.
Sounds like a panopticon.
Personally, I blame Intitative 502. And the resulting cloud it produced.
criticize geeky behaviour for being uncool and preventing you from getting laid
Well, if that was your goal to begin with: Mission Accomplished. Well done, sir!
those who are too warm can only strip so far.
Offer that as an option to your guests. They'll be comfy. And you'll be naked.
Of course, that would have been my plan all along.
