It entirely depends on the kind of job it is and whether you need it on your resume.... so you can use it on your resume to explain your employment history.
You can walk and use it on your resume. In almost all cases, your previous employer is legally not allowed to say anything to prospective employers besides confirming whether or not you worked there.
It used to be that you'd want a good reference (they're legally allowed to provide or be a reference), but many employers have made it against their own rules to provide references, probably for fear of violating the aforementioned laws.
There can still be benefits to staying, but not all that much.
Don't the majority of crashes occur on takeoff or landing?
One could argue that all crashes technically occur on landing.;)
The majority of them, yes. But there are mid air crashes. Ex: New York City United Airlines vs Trans World Airlines: https://www.youtube.com/watch?... But yeah, it's generally not the fall that kills you.
Those kinda illustrate the limitations this thing will have.
AFAICT, the market for these is pretty damn small. * Many areas lack sidewalks. Even well built up and affluent areas just outside of major downtown cities. * Many areas with sidewalks also have significant pedestrian traffic. This thing is NOT as agile nor small as another person. In a busy downtown area, this won't be accepted. * This leaves low traffic areas with sidewalks, but only within 1-3 miles of the base station, and you've gotta have a manual override operator standing by.
For those ideal conditions, just stick a kid on a bicycle.
It's not the person receiving the abuse who films it.
Rather than those filming being able to capture the officer telling them to turn it off, trying to block it, etc... they'll just flash their IR thingy, then they can abuse and smash all they want without a record (theoretically).
Using old, potentially-vulnerable versions of Windows long after they're no longer supported isn't a real option, of course.
See here: https://support.microsoft.com/... Windows 7 end of mainstream support: 2015-01-13 (extended is 2020-01-14) Windwos 8 end of mainstream support: 2018-01-09 (extended is 2023-01-10)
How is that "long after they're no longer supported"? And yes, I know 2015 is less than now, but it's not long after, and it's still in extended support. For that matter, vista is still in extended support until Q2 2017!
I shouldn't be feeding the trolls at all, but continuing to use those *should* be a valid option. That said, I'd still recommend GNU/Linux or MacOSX.
As we are talking about phones which get basically dynamic IP adresses all the time, it is impossible to have such a service without a central server infrastructure that knows who is online and how he is reachable.
That isn't true. Anytime you write "impossible", it should make you think twice. Here's an example (I haven't used this, but I know this sort of thing is very feasible via Tor): https://github.com/prof7bit/To...

Taking out an audio jack that, in one form or another, has been in use for the last 70 years won't fly the same way because there's nothing there to replace it realistically,
I think the move is uncalled for and I dislike it, but most people I know that use headphones regularly with their phones tend to go through them fairly quickly.
Don't most phones ship with a pair of headphones, including the iPhone? Won't they just ship with a pair of lightening earbuds, so there won't be any real pain in the upgrade except for those edge cases where people have some fancy extra expensive headphones, which are probably not earbuds, so having an extra dongle won't make all that much of a difference to those people.
There's not much downside for Apple. They'll still sell phones; The phones will ship with earbuds to keep most happy enough; They'll also sell new beats headphones, which will start shipping with lightening connectors and probably include a lightening to 1/8" jack adapter for use on traditional equipment; They'll cut off the extremely cheap competitor market for headphones. Downside, they'll lose a smallish segment of people that were already considering on making their next upgrade an Android device. It's a gamble, but it'll probably net them more profit than not making the move.
Yup, just like Microsoft didn't listen to the market and didn't bring back some semblance of the Start Menu in windows.
That's a decent example since what MS did was to ignore and avoid the issue for just enough iterations so that when they did "bring back" something that was a huge compromise, people took it as good enough and thanked them for it. Two steps forward, one step back... it's a great way to move the herd along.

And when neither happens, then similar rules apply to both the President and Congress. This eventually trickles down to blaming the voters. The majority of voters are currently proving that point quite well in their handling of the current presidential election, so this should be no surprise to anyone that's conscious.
ThankYouVeryMuch! THANKSALOT! YOUREWELCOME! MYCONDOLENCES! THANKYOUCOMEAGAIN!... could go on for a LONG LONG time. "THANKYOU" trademark should have been denied. That said, I suspect the only people that will make any money from this lawsuit will be the lawyers (and related staff).
It's to the point where I will refuse to even start debugging a program without the use strict an use string pragmas. When I write or edit my own Perl scripts, I make sure to type everything out...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you mean "use English" instead of "use string". AFAIK, there is no string pragma.
Just be sure not to use any functionality that's not in the jQuery 1 version that you use, but that should be easy.
Someone should put together some sort of high level library to make this seamless and cover the edge cases for compatibility. It could even include some fancy wrappers for common stuff. JQScript?
Why could you not click on the apple logo in the upper left corner, go to "About this Mac" and then look at the "Processor" heading to figure out what you are buying or what you have just bought.. and then return it if you feel you have been cheated? Trying to figure out what mac you are buying from the serial number is the hard way of going about figuring this out. Do you try to figure out what car you are buying from the VIN number too?
Awful car analogy you have there. Do you try to figure out what car you are buying by getting in it, starting it up, navigating the LCD console to learn more about that car? Or maybe you get in, go into the glove box, go through the manual, and then verify the manual is for that car?
That said, as far as I can tell from images online, most of the boxes have a printed out spec sheet glued to them, as well as a bar code label thing that includes a line such as "MBP 13.3/2.4/2x2GB/250/SD/GLSY" as well as a model number like "A1270". I suspect that decoding one of those would be your best bet, since the GP noted the near mistake was "new at his school store", so one should be able to trust the packaging there. Personally, I wish all products came with both the release date and production date clearly labeled on the product.
Or you could edit one line in one config file and get the behaviour you want back. No need to throw a hissy fit.
There is still a huge reason to throw a fit. If I need to kick off some background jobs on a bunch of machines reliably, I will now have to check how the system is configured first, and probably wrap that up in my own nohub-or-systemd-run wrapper, checking if systemd-run even exists, if so, how is logind.conf configured, then use the correct wrapper. All this why? Because some applications aren't respecting the conventions that have existed for ages, so let's make new ones?
why would I give a shit about the GPL if I'm a company if I can just take the parts I want and claim fair use?
Fortunately, that's not the case here. The case here is that reuse of the API is being deemed ok. There is a little bit of a grey area in defining the borders of said API, but those rarely matter at all because they are almost always cases where there's only one good and obvious way to implement that thing, so it's not defensible anyway. This won't hurt the GPL at all.
In fact, the opposite is true. There is an awful lot of GPL software, as well as software that covers the gamut of closed to public domain, that has re-implemented other API's. I doubt it applies directly to this Oracle v. Google case, but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/....
The author of the Op-ed in question seems to be over committing to the false premise that API and code are the same thing, making up a fake world where that was true, and saying that would cause problems for GPL software which, while there would be some minor downsides, is not really true - it would allow us to open up any software after snagging a copy of the source, which would make most GPL advocates quite happy. IE. it'd be at least as bad for proprietary software, and probably far worse. Thankfully, that very premise is bunk, so none of this matters.
Second, they have put laws on the books in many places, but those laws have made it illegal to sell e-cigs that do NOT have nicotine. For example, in NYC, you can not sell the flavored ones, or ones without nicotine. This was supposedly to protect the children somehow.
I quite the real things 1.5 years ago. I bought some nicotine-free ones online - used several brands, though I'd recommend the "blu" ones for ease of use and taste. I didn't use them all that much, but when in a situation that causes significant cravings, they were enough to get by. If they had been nicotine ones, it would have put me right back on the wagon, resuming the chemical addiction.
IMO, they should require that the cig/juice distributors offer a nicotine free version, if they're going to add any requirement.
I don't understand your emphasis on NSS. FWIW, the version of openssl that shipped with CentOS 6.7 fully supported TLSv1.2. Their announcement that, "NSS now enables the TLS version 1.2 protocol by default", does not in any way imply that OpenSSL had not or did not do so. They happen to be building some items against NSS, thus that change affects things like pyCurl and phpCurl for them, though those could be rebuilt against OpenSSL (I rebuild php to get a more recent version, and link it to openssl instead of NSS).
Came here to say this, so I'm happy to see someone else had the good sense to connect these dots.
Robots are also an investment over time. $35k now, and I strongly suspect they won't cost $35k/year to maintain afterwards.
This also isn't any different than any other process optimization/automation that's happened. Their fries aren't cut from fresh potatoes. Their burgers aren't made from beef ground on site, or even shaped on site. None of their bread/buns are made at the restaurant. Most things are pre washed and cut. A little more automation isn't going to change very much.
I do know that, in general, people don't really like ordering from a machine and having a machine deliver the food. They'll probably still staff people for that, and for cleanup, and general monitoring of stuff going on, and to deal with loading the machines with product, etc. A robot arm that makes fries is, IMO, a VERY good idea - how many kids get burned on that stuff every year? No one likes that position.
The definition is terrorism is about bringing a desired political outcome with the populace largely affected in so much as the populace will revolt against their own government through the machinations of the terrorists.
I disagree. While trying to put into words what I feel it is, I ran into the FBI's definition, and it's actually quite good: https://www.fbi.gov/about-us/i...
... means activities with the following... characteristics:
* Involve violent acts or acts dangerous to human life that violate federal or state law;
* Appear to be intended (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; (ii) to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or (iii) to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping;
I would also include threats of violet acts, and utilization of intimidation and fear to adversely affect another group. Whether or not that causes revolt or any real political change doesn't really matter.
I'd agree but, assuming this thing isn't as dumb as the old phone (it'll probably be running android), it's probably going to have just as shitty a battery life as any other android phone, possibly worse.
If they manage to do it right, I'll be tempted to get one, but I won't hold me breath.
Remote controls for TV devices make sense: Most times if you turn lights off/on you either enter a room or leave it,...
And, if you're one of those folks that does want to turn on/off lights while lounging around, there have been cheap and easy solutions for decades. The clapper comes to mind. Certainly easy for that one use case. X10 firecracker is another cheap and easy option. They used to have a starter kit with a couple lamp modules (plug a lamp into a tiny box, and plug that into wall), a device remote, and a firecracker computer interface module (that worked with Linux even way back then). You could dim or turn on/off all the lamp modules, or add on appliance modules and other stuff. The starter kit was very inexpensive, and none of it talked to the outside world. Looking at them now, it doesn't look like they've changed much at all.
That said, remote control lights is not, IMO, home automation. It's the automation bit that gets tricky. AFAICT, that's still something that's simply a neat hobby to some. To those peoples families, it's either a huge PITA or, if it's working correctly, OK but nothing too special. Technology *should* blend into the background and let your day go more smoothly, but if that means spending an arm and a leg, and buying into some company and hoping they survive, and investing loads of your own hours getting it all working smoothly, and the benefit it just a slightly smoother day, sort of, for some people, sometimes... cost/benefit just isn't there.

Actually I'm confused, because most cameras already filter UV and IR frequencies.
No, they don't.
Open up your camera app on your phone, point any remote at it, and hold down a button.
