Pretty sure Uber drivers aren't indentured servants, much less serfs. Seeing as how, you know, if you don't want to drive for Uber, you just don't load the app. The Gendarme isn't going to break down your door and drag you to jail.
Hey developers - ya know that really cool language we made called C#? Well use it to develop really cool Silverlight apps that will run natively in any browser or on our phone! Go to it!!!... 2 years later...
Woops! Hey now developers... you know how we said to invest all your time and development strategies behind Silverlight? Yeah well now we're going to deprecate it and we're replacing it with C++/Metro/Windows Store. There is no migration path. So, you know, go to it!!!
Sure, all you have to do is test absolutely every combination of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, SVG, and MP4 streaming configuration you could ever possibly conceive of.
If you want to try out your analysis of silly, start by trying to answer "What employment sector can absorb the 3.5 million truck drivers who will be replaced with automated vehicles?".
If you knew that you'd be rich. Economics is like geology - it isn't about predicting the future, but finding out how things work and why things happen. In general, when an industry becomes obsolete, or replaced by another industry, the replacement industry spawns a bunch of other jobs. Another way to look at it is capital used to do one thing is freed up to do another. Also, making transportation cheaper makes everything cheaper, driving prices down.
So far this has happened in most industries. The important thing is allowing for new industries to pop up, which means making sure there isn't protectionism or regulatory capture happening.
Clinton voted to invade Afghanistan and we wrecked that country - even more so than it was before, which is quite a feat. She voted to invade Iraq and we wrecked that country - killing hundreds of thousands of civilians directly and indirectly. She recommended invading Libya and we ruined that country.
Her next step would be military intervention in Syria. Because we have had such a good track record over there.
You have a 20 year old AS/400 system with millions of customer records using hand-typed-in data that needs to be correlated on a new system. Company names, customer names, addresses, routing numbers with variable use of dashes, periods, part numbers, account numbers, prices with variable decimal places, etc...
Not a strict programming issue per se, but an issue that is expected to be solved with programming, with extremely variable results.
I ran Mythbuntu for a few years. It was pretty friggin' sweet:
1. Automatic commercial skipping - worked *amazingly* well 2. Web access for scheduling and watching shows - it would transcode on the fly to mp4 and you could watch on your phone/tablet/whatever 3. A nice 10 foot interface for emulators, music, etc... 4. Plugins for all kinds of cool stuff - integrated Skype calling (a popup would appear on TV showing you caller ID, hit a button and TV pauses so you can answer) ZoneMinder, burning DVD's of TV shows with a few keypresses (used this for my friends pretty regularly)
Never had too many problems with installation/maintenance. Had some difficulty getting an old ATI RF remote set up, but it was mostly configuration, once set up it worked flawlessly.
Some guy on the forums had a crazy setup with something like 8 CableCard tuners and a few TB of disk space in a monster server in his basement, with thin clients acting as front-ends to the TVs in his house. Had it wired into a multizone sound system, controlled the whole thing through a web page on his tablet, or phone, or whatever. Pretty slick.
That's the problem - the F-35 was supposed to do *everything* - air superiority, close air support, attack, amphibious assault - and it wound up doing nothing particularly well. So, yeah, it has a different operational envelope than the A-10, and that's the problem. It isn't as good as an A-10 for ground attack, it isn't as good as an F-16 for air superiority, and it isn't as good as an F/A 18 in STOL situations.
Supported a university computer lab with several hundred mac & PC workstations. The macs took longer to set up, but once done, they required almost zero maintenance. We'd have at least two or three PCs down every week for various OS / virus / hardware issues. And yes, both sides were heavily used. This was roughly 15 years ago - pre-OSX, so I'd imagine they are even more reliable now in a lab environment, as you couldn't lock down anything back then (the PCs were locked-down Win2k boxes)
Movie theaters that were THX certified used to be a big deal. It meant they met standards on equipment quality and maintenance. Projector bulbs were replaced - projectors were clean, you had to have decent quality screens with proper gain, and properly sized and tuned sound equipment for the theater.
Then they stopped caring. I remember seeing a movie at the only THX certified theater in the area in the late 90s. The movie was so dim half the picture was pushed to complete blackness most of the time, and one of the subwoofers was clearly shot (RATTLERATTLERATTLE)
Then came the multiple fiascos with THX certified DVDs released with screwed up matting, pulldown flags set incorrectly, and all kinds of color timing problems.
It was a good idea, marketed wrong and managed poorly.
So when every yahoo on your segment fires up BitTorrent your VoIP stops working? No thank you.
Basic prioritization: 1. Realtime Communications Traffic (VoIP) 2. Remote interactive sessions (RDP/SSH/Games/etc..) 3. Streaming Video 4. Streaming Audio 5. Web / Mail 6. Downloads
That's it. Realtime interactive communications get priority over non-interactive communications, which get priority over high latency operations, which get priority over ANY downloading. Of course, this should only kick in when the tubes are saturated, otherwise it doesn't matter.
Check the forums to see if anyone else is having this problem. If not, it's probably an issue with your antenna. Sync has nothing to do with the radio firmware, which is pretty much the same for every satellite radio. They all source the same chipset and firmware from the same company. I'm guessing the cable to your antenna is defective or the connection is bad.

So, you don't have a good argument why the minimum wage shouldn't be $30 an hour?
Why is $15 acceptable but $30 is not?

Why not $30? Heck, why not $50? More is better, no? Don't you want workers to be well paid?
What really killed it:

He just said whatever he thought would win him the election.
Stop the presses. That never happens. Ever.
Sure, all you have to do is test absolutely every combination of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, SVG, and MP4 streaming configuration you could ever possibly conceive of.
Keep in mind, the MP4 spec is... extensive:

They'll flush out the shill accounts and give everyone else a smack on the wrist for doing something that's pretty self evidently wrong (scalping).
Taking advantage of differing tax rates isn't scalping, it's arbitrage.

Or worth a bunch more, like the original AppleDesign book which is now a collector's item:

Technically you're right, we "never set foot" in Libya, which didn't mean we didn't kill a bunch of people over there.

Meanwhile, our intentions over there may have been... less than noble:

You mean, if you put solar panels high and angle them TOWARDS the sun, they work better? And they don't get all smashed and dirty?
That's so crazy it just might work!

What's your definition of psychopathy?

Remember Obama's pledge to end the lobbyists getting into the cabinet? Heh.

Changing the system running on it will probably be difficult.
Famous last words.
These arent tree huggers, these are Native Americans trying to protect land sacred to them.
That sounds an awful lot like a press quote. Any reporting more balanced than these are hippy nutjobs or horribly oppressed freedom fighters?

Headline: TABLET SALES PLUMMET!!!
Reality: 180 MILLION tablets are going to be sold this year.
Maybe there are fewer tablets being sold, but that's a lot of tablets. If Nintendo can grab a few percent of that, it ain't bad.

Why 250? Why not top 50? Or top 10? Or top 500? Is 250 significant?
Comey is a Republication...
