There seems to be a concerted effort to talk about David Brock and his machinations. There was a clip on the David Pakman show where they basically said he wasn't *really* liberal - which is pretty funny considering all of the Democractic PACs he runs.
Anyways, this smells an awful lot like a Sanders-backed astroturfing campaign focusing on Brock's own astroturfing campaigns.// Not a Hillary fan at all// Nor Sanders, but he, at least, seems like a decent guy
This is the central disconnect with most politicians. They simply don't realize that doing things in business costs money, and you can't just get more of it from somewhere.
In the Detroit area we have E-Magine theaters, which have whole-theater reserved seating and electric recliners, and a similar no-phone policy. They make the AMC theaters look like dinosaurs.
Complicated build and deploy environments. I know guys who have scripts set up to auto-provision VMs with newly updated code to run regression tests.
Most of the web development guys I know are Mac guys - mainly for *nix-centric tools (using grep/awk for log parsing, finding stuff quickly in source files, etc...)
Yeah there are ports on Windows but they are kinda hokey to use with DOS style paths.
Nissan's two factories are in the south, and three of Toyota's four US factories is in the Midwest. None of them are unionized.
Meanwhile, Ford is importing the Transit Connect from Turkey and building a brand new factory in Mexico, and GM is starting to import Buicks from China.
Lucas used to hand out free IP licenses all the time. He let people make amateur films based on Star Wars. You just sent him a letter asking for permission and you usually got it. As long as you aren't making loads of money off of it he didn't care.
In the late 90's I was working my way through college. I worked full time over the summer, part-time during school, paying cash for my credit-hours. My mom went to the same school I went to, and in the intervening two decades, she noticed, maybe, three or four new buildings on campus.
In the middle of my undergrad years, they opened up the federal loan program to anyone. It used to only be open to those pursuing six year degrees, usually doctors or lawyers. Now just about anyone could get a student loan.
Fast forward a decade and a half. Tuition at that school has increased 100-150% over inflation. Parking alone went from $1/day to $8/day. It has bought two entire city blocks, razed them, and built a dozen or so new buildings, apartments, athletics centers, libraries, a "welcome center," and doubled the size of it's hospital.
True, but if you're spending four years of your life learning how a particular machine works, at some point you'd think you'd learn how to turn the darn thing on.
Of course, but back then I spent idle hours reading BYTE articles comparing different CPU architectures, and they always made a point of showing the MSB/LSBs flipped on little- and big-endian machines. Doesn't matter in a register, but I didn't know better. Then again, a post-grad TA should know what I'm asking and why I'm asking it.
When I worked at the computer lab at my University I would regularly have to show post-graduate CS majors how to format a floppy disk. Then again I managed to stump a TA by asking, when she requested we fill in a binary number in a register, which side of the register was the MSB.
He's not arguing against regulation - he's saying the regulations are too vague.
For comparison, the FDA's regulations on medical device are insanely detailed. The terminology in the regulations have hyperlinks back to a thesaurus that explain exactly what each word means, and examples of it's usage in regulatory filings, so you know exactly what they mean. If something is due in 30 days, it's explained that it's 30 contiguous calendar days, starting from the day some event happened and ending at midnight on the day due.
SEC regulations can be maddeningly vague. Lots of "as soon as possible" and "within reason" and "as needed." So if you suffer a data breach, you need to notify your stockholders "as soon as possible." Well how soon is that? Within an hour? When you have all the relevant information on the impact? A month? An hour? Even if you are completely honest and up-front, it's possible to run afoul of a regulation like this, simply because it's up to some bureaucrat to decide if you've broken a vague regulation or not.
The absolute minimum wage in most places in the US is around $1,200/month. So roughly 5x $10 / month is around $50/month for broadband, which is around what we pay. So, it's about the same, then?
Military grade GPSes are supposedly jam-proof. They use directional antennas that can detect terrestrial-based signals and notch them out of the satellite-based signals.
I use NoScript for Firefox. A side-effect of blocking 3rd party scripts is most advertising gets blocked out. I don't care much about ads, but I'm not going to let some random third party run scripts on my computer when I visit a web site. If the site wants to serve up static jpegs as ads, that's fine, it works, and I don't care about it.
Because doing a wide-ranging statistical analysis on something as wide-ranging as "Autism," which is a diagnosis and not a particular disorder, usually results in findings like this:
That's actually a strength. They all work similarly, you don't have to re-learn a UI when moving from device to device, and it's easier for developers to support.
The other end of the spectrum would be Microsoft, where every OS brings you a new and exciting UI experience, where settings are arbitrarily shifted to different places, APIs are added and deprecated (C#/WPF is first class, WHOOPS now C#/Silverlight is first class, WHOOPS now C++/Metro is first class)

If some startup proclaims to compete with google, they usually get bought up, and don't continue to offer their services.

That's because CS programs do not teach hardware.
