I can't say this is across the board, it may have to do with each individual market... But here is Seattle, the Whole Foods marked down a few things, but over all the prices stayed the same, or the reduction was such that I didn't notice. There's a difference between saying "Our prices are x% lower" and "We've reduced prices on x% of our products". In the store near me, it felt like any other store doing "loss leaders".
According to Belmont Partners, a real estate investment group based in Arizona, the goal is to turn the land into its own "smart city."
I'm really interested in how they plan to deal with the water issue, it seems like a show-stopper. Maybe they can build something to recover water from the dry arid air - because otherwise they're going to have to pipe it in, and the Colorado River is already over used... They must have considered this issue when they bought the dry desert land...
These people, Washburn Computer Group, look like a pretty interesting shop, apparently they buy a lot of dead POS equipment and referb it. Started in some guys home and built it into a monster. http://www.washburngrp.com/abo...
Yet many of the same scientists and the same university libraries that decry the barriers to access of the pay-to-play journals still feed the monster. Yes, yes, "publish or parish", and the library "must" carry these subscriptions. Or something like that.
The key will be to establish "open source" peer-reviewed journals that are backed by the biggest names in science and the major universities. That at this point it hasn't happened makes me think that the biggest names in science and the major universities like the way things are now...
$700,000 is small change for a corporation as big as Hilton, but make no mistake, the guy or team that cost Hilton $700,000 felt the pain, when it filters down to the IT managers and what kind of money they represent to Hilton and what they cost, $700,000 error is big. No bonus for the IT team this year!
See? This is what happens when the project team is made up of "full-stack" developers - no one knows how to code a decent UI... That, and the whole thing was written in Angular...
It's not just "the cloud", such a thing could happen on any network. It's that you must "trust" that Google will revert the issue and grant you access to *your* documents. They don't have to.
If you are a consumer of crap, someone who lives their life of Facebook, than yes, your mobile phone is the Internet, the way you validate your sad little life.
Other people do other things "on the Internet" that do not revolve around Social Media.
Major changes require the approval of the lead developer and maintainer??? Wow, thatâ(TM)s pushing it! And whatâ(TM)s this you say? Having been developed by Google, thereâ(TM)s a bunch of Google Guys - we know from that pesky manafesto that itâ(TM)s Guys all the way at Google - on the board or team or whatever? CRIMINAL I TELL YOU! What would RMS say?
Suppose there actually WHERE copies or backups or whatever and Keysight Technologies simply want everyone to think the stuff is gone? And why would they do that?
Well, it depends on what kind of agreement they have with Agilent Technologies or HP about who gets paid what and owns what if Keysight finds anything interesting in those files.
And now who's to say now where Keysight got their ideas that fall into the areas of interest in Mr. Hewlett and Mr. Packard's personal notes and assorted ephemera, when there's no way to check the stuff that burned up with no backups?
Yes, of course no one made backups of material that was valuble enough to be negotiated for because of some perceived value of the content when Keysigh split off from Agilent... Of course not.
Why would anybody shop there in the first place? Sounds scammy to me
Because in many places, if you want organic this and that and GMO-free this and that, it's the only option because there are no food coops, farmer's markets, or Trader Joe's.
So if you live "in the city" it all depends on if you want organic/GMO-free. If not, you can certainly find a store with healthy food at a cheaper price.
HOWEVER: Where food coops and Trader Joe's DO do exist in close proximity, it's a "status symbol" thing.
Plus, they have a hipster bar with a dozen or so micro brews where you can order hipster pizza by the slice and get a nice buzz while your significant other shops. Sometimes, I'll pay extra for that.
This sounds pretty cool and all in a "1998 and Slashdot is great" kind of way. But what the fuck does any of this have to do with Apple in 2017?
Who said it had anything to do with Apple in 2017? Well...
according to Jobs, in a rare 1994 interview, without him there wouldn't have been Apple.
So, according to Jobs, it has everything to do with Apple in 2017... Think about it.
I don't know that Apple wouldn't be around or be around in a different form or not, I suspect that Jobs overstated the importance of Sir Crunch, but I wasn't involved so what do I know...
Precisely who are the "relevant authorities" whose job it is to police what people say or read and what do they do if somebody says or reads something they're not supposed to?
For the most part. But things than might be considered some kind of threat or indicate an illegal action might occur, or libal... That sort of thing.
But you're right, a lot (most?) of the objectionable material may be disgusting but not illegal...
Reddit is now a cesspool that essentially has become 4chan. That which is not squarely in the cesspool is banal vapid prattle. When Reddit removes the ability to post these things, it will die the death of kuro5hin, and the lonely echo of "Hello?... HELLO? Is anyone here?" A moment of silence for Reddit, please...

...Palo Verde nuclear power plant that consumes as much as 20 millions of gallons of water per day.
Consumes? What do they turn it into?

I see how it is, as soon as Trump leaves the country they go and try to do something that is in the best interest of the public.
Most likely, Trump is behind this - it's punishment for CNN's owners for allowing CNN to "spew Fake News" on our fine El Presidente.
There is much speculation that the Justice Department is doing this because its master, El Presidente is all mad at CNN for "Fake News"...
Missing the point, I don't want apps wasting my battery on pointless crap either. A nice, usability focused UI will be fine, thanks.

I dont remember anything out of the ordinary about hime other than his blue-box fame
Are you questioning His Royalness Sir Steven Jobs 1994 recollection? Dude! Just die, OK?
No, but seriously, according to Jobs in 1994:
according to Jobs, in a rare 1994 interview, without him there wouldn't have been Apple.
I think that's an over statement that represents a friendly gesture by Jobs to Crunch.
This sounds pretty cool and all in a "1998 and Slashdot is great" kind of way. But what the fuck does any of this have to do with Apple in 2017?

Captain Crunch's story can be found in "Hackers: Heroes of the Computer Revolution" by Steven Levy.

But as they are based on certain discrete and unpredictable events that they haven't happened...
So these predictions are based on events that haven't happened. Got it...
