It went over your head that public transportation requires public funds. Watch what happens when you cut off those funds. Oh, wait, see the billions in road funds rather than rail, and mindless numbers of federally funded airports. Pick one.
Bitcoin actually has classically-defined value. The lesson about that value is classic supply and demand.
The value of social media Is a different phenomenon. There are lots of lonely people in this world, who want to be heard, Consequentially, this means that they must also then put their lives into the contexts of others (some successfully, others not), and be prepared to defend themselves, for which most are quite ill-equipped.
If you accept that there are sheep, shepherds, and wolves in this world, the lonely are often fallen prey to wolves. Bitcoin, by contrast, is gambling.
Both are very addictive, but in bitcoin, you know you're gambling with supply and demand. If you look at the tens of millions across the planet that are stock market gamblers, you can get a sense of the differing, yet addicted motivations involved in both. Everyone wants to be loved and have power and money. This is the sauce that suits both contexts.
It would be fine by me. Other people seem lost without it, and unable to think for themselves. I don't see any renaissance re-occurring after the bad actors leave, either.
All these are neo Tea Party and Libertarian memes. Reduce regulation and the world will be saved.
Those pesky regulations prevent monopolies and support comparative fairness in transactions and common carrier treatment.
Using the same theories, watch Uber and Waymo trucks become allowed to do 80mph on freeways, but human piloted Kenworthy trucks must do 70. Why? Who loves to burn more cash, Uber and Waymo, or Kenworthy? Pai has shown time and again that he's more interested in listening and enforcing to false memes and false outcries of slavery-by-regulation, and the unbridled corporate personhood plutocracy.
The insidious Sons of The John Birch Society ride again.
Microsoft is all about revenue. Making Linux work on Azure is child's play, and they know how many instances of exactly what work there, and on corporate networks, not to mention developer's instances.
They spent a boatload on making Docker work on Windows servers. Does that capitulate the very concept of containers? Nope. The two versions of containers, Windows and everything else, are two branches. What it shows is that Microsoft knew/knows its myriad platforms were no longer making money, and the chaos of open source had a lot of creative energy behind it, where there own homegrown stuff was pretty dull and buggy.
Embracing Linux doesn't change Linux. They can extend to Linux and make revenue, but their inbred, back-stabbing days don't fit FOSS models, where they have to play by the GPL and Apache license rules, among others.
They're not the new overlords, just a coding army that knows how to make revenue, even in the FOSS-model era.
Watch this get turned into political messages, bad bumper sticker clones, and worse: advertising.
And for those that shine dick pics: make sure the finish of your car can be protected from deep key scratches. I sadly know a couple of people who wouldn't hesitate..... or cut you off with millimeters to spare.
And there are a staggering variety of third party apps that will merrily rip your CDs, catalog them for you, and make iTunes seem like the 1990s.
Not many of them are for Macs, but there are a few.
My music is still *my music* and Apple's not going to store it on their cloud for me. I'm going to places where cellphones don't work, there's no WiFi, and it's peaceful. I want my music there, not some metered connection to something that will track my every move.
This isn't about censorship, this is about getting votes-- nothing more or less. It has no chance of becoming law. It's laudable to attempt to stop human trafficking, but porn sites aren't necessarily the source of human trafficking, just as correlation != causation.
Nothing to see here, just more politician flatulence.
Complexity goes only as far as a time-pressured coder is going to spend on the algorithm. As we're not unique, and our medical histories are private in many cultures, it's fair to say that Facebook and others cannot know us, despite all that they see we post and react to, how long we stay in places, and our Messenger data.
Facebook can, and should ask for proof of address and personna, and reject those that don't provide this information. There are those that need personna protection, and this can be argued on an individual basis.
My seeming arbitrarily-drawn line means that we (the responsible adults) must use the simplest, yet most enforceable line drawn possible, in this case, age, or in lieu of age, a guardian's assent. Without either of these, lots of predation is possible.
The same should go for smartphones/mobiles. No dick pics until you're 18. Send one uninvited to anyone at all, and be thrown in jail, as though you were a male that had exposed himself publicly at a shopping mall. Unsolicited nudies ought to be a crime. It's an affront to dignity, both on the part of the sender, and the receiver, unless there is prior asset, just like one needs active positive response for the initiation of a sexual relationship to begin. Permission. Without it, you're a predator, male, female, whichever.
But WE HAVE TO SOLVE THIS. Facebook will use any old algorithm they want without pressure, because it doesn't make them profits to behave in any other way. They aren't like Delta Airlines, whose morals apparently aren't for sale, or so their lore goes.
Cultural context is understood, but you must also understand predation of the young. Some are mature at 14, others in their 20s, and of course, some never do.
My line is arbitrary, but the need to educate and mentor youth so that they understand the negative mazes of the adult works is very important.
I'm not sure it's possible to stanch the predators, but this is the goal, that and the safety of youth. Then, dip youth in latex, and let them on their way as we presume they're informed and understand the consequences.
The fact that they're asking the question means they're trying to cast off legal liabilities associated with gruesome possibilities.
Youth on Facebook are quite impressionable, and youth is very vulnerable to sexual misdeeds of adults. IMHO, everyone under 18 on Facebook should have a mentoring sponsor, who's active and sees everything (including private messages) of the under 18 set. It's called parenting. After 18: you graduate and you're on your own, use condoms.
Yeah, the "real world" test is when the carriers dilute the number of available cells, stifle the backhaul, choose frequency bands that only a mother could love, then find ways to choose phones that aren't really capable of chewing through downloads quickly.
It's a nice proof of concept, but the real world is an unforgiving bear.
I read both of those. This is a logic gate, a resistor that looks like a standard logic element transistor. If you want to be less baffled, look into electronics engineering as it applies to both computing, and also the history of how microcomputers were originally designed against the state machine model(s).
Or we'll spoof theupdates address, or see if the syslogd is correctly configured.
Hmmm, that didn't work? Let's see what ports are open. I wonder if it'll swallow out of sequence mis-formed barrages of packets.
That didn't work? We'll get a guy to install a wallwartPC with an address that's the broadcast for that segment of the VLAN.
Where there's a will, there's a way. Yes, there were lots of hideous CVEs out there before either Intel processor fault. But this one's a doozy. Ultimately, it means you're going to have to buy more hardware, it's just a matter of time. See, servers and PCs were on the decline, and well, there was some revenue that needed peaking back up again. So have a nice day, and just open up that purchase order app and quit bitchin.
The problem with the passive components is the same as it's always been, and why Von Neumann idealized state machines as computing elements. Adding a state value helps, but causes multiple concurrent states.
Memtransistors don't have checksums, and their state isn't arbitrated in such a way as to give them the capacity to be shared without other active components. Because there is no checksum or CRC easily possible, coupled to the logic that sets (and checks) their value, means that they have limited architectural applications until several facets of their nature can be changed.
Look at 100 people, and 33 of them have faulty neurons. Analogizing states in this way, memtransistors, could also be capacitive arrays, inductive arrays, LC/LCR arrays, and so forth. Their present state of changeability comes nothing close to the high speed memory (transient and charged state--think nv-ram) present today.
There are great potential applications in ASICs, (fp) gate arrays, and other constructions, but just as GPUs don't replace CPUs, arrays made of memtransistors aren't going to replace either CPUs or GPUs, FPGAs, ASICs, etc. They're not more "brain-like", rather, they're a different architectural models whose limitations still haven't been surmounted.
It's not a fully passive device-- it's a resistor with a third leg in terms of boolean logic.
China has _never_ had an era where there was a period of democracy, or of "western" values. None of what you say is new.
Let's compare!:
Both leaders like big military build-ups. Both like rich allies Both believe in nepotism Both have problems, in varying degrees, with North Korea Both like to fuck off and play golf Both are using their offices to make themselves far richer
And so they're trying to fool with bovine genetics to get the farts out of the gene pool. No, really.
Fool with cow genetics, try to fix your washing machine. Which one is worse? We have a schematic for the freaking cow, but we can't get one for the washing machine.
This is what we've been reduced to, that is, groveling over seeming "small favors" like ok, bring your CPAP, or your CGM, cane, walker, etc. Musicians can bring instruments (sometimes).
We're GROVELING for space that we should have anyway, just so airlines can please Wall Street, NOT THEIR PAYING PASSENGERS.
There are no longer clothes closets for coats. The food was never much good. The seat pitch is made for anorexics. And people, believing they're getting a "deal" (notice there are no such things as bereavement fares and the like) will swallow any humiliation no matter how undignified or simply crazy.
You have to have your naked image taken, remove very reasonable items from luggage, ensure your Papers Are In Order, then queue in to lines that are grievously long. We're like cows to slaughter.

Contrasting with twits that tried to fix something to suit their need to do 9 holes before dark.
For all history, we didn't need to fix measurement of time between disperse geography. Then we did. op.cit.
A kickstarter won't help. Federal funding might.

Wish there was a mod point for laughable irony.
The sad fact is that if social media loses viral impact beyond kitty pics, their stock prices will sink into the abyss from whence it came.
Personal preference? Only the golfers seem to like DST.

No one will fall on their sword.
Not the coder.
Not the team leader.
Not QA.
Not the development lead.
Not the product manager.
Not the code review staff.
Have a nice day. Fast and loose means shareholder return.
