That was a plain and simple (scam/kickback to campaign contributors). Nobody (except true believers) expected Solyndra to do anything but take the government's money and run.
Don't mistake corruption for incompetence. The people involved in Solyndra were very competent, everything went exactly as planned.
What it needs is a really efficient indexing system, client code written by someone with experience using moby datasets and a decent UI to navigate the hierarchy. All the packages I've used so far are miserable, caching nothing and constantly rescanning the server. Understandable for low RAM devices, but nothing is really 'low RAM' these days.
I've considered writing it myself, but figure it has to be a common enough problem. It's worth asking if anybody found a good solution.
Where are you? I'm in N Cal, Sacramento area. It's a good day to copy it at USB3 portable drive speeds. I can just make the copy and swap you for a blank drive.
If I only had 122GB of music, I think I'd cry. Lame, what did he do, pay for it all?
Has anybody found a good client for playing/browsing a good sized music collection, one measured in TB? Seams the people writing these things expect to be pointed at thumb drives.
Things that don't work: Emby player on Roku, Roku media player, Yamaha DLNA client, iTunes. All unusable.
I'm using a file browser on a NUC, there has to be a better way.
Per your own link 11% reporting rape. The rest 'sexual misconduct', which could be anything that upset her. A whistle from an unattractive person qualifies.
And that's just a surface read. If an unwanted kiss qualified as 'oral sex' that would be part of the 11%. Based on the rest of their methodology, I would be surprised if they DIDN'T count a kiss as oral.
Most people never drive beyond the abilities of their cars.
What kind of moron gets a new car and doesn't go to the nearest empty lot/road to find it's limits? If you don't know where they are how do you know you are close to them?
The reason many frogs hate McDonald's is that their countrymen eat so much of it, especially the kids. It's not that it's any worse food than KFR (R for Rat), but listen to the relative volume of whining.
About a third of retail. More of less what it's supposed to cost.
What do you think 1/4 lb of hamburger, a bun and few pennies worth of veg/sauce should cost when buying in bulk? I think they should be getting better ingredients for that kind of money.
Have any of these 'distinguished economists' held honest jobs before settling into their folly?
Based on the theories they are working on, yes I know more about economics than them. Business pays me for my economic knowledge, they work on theories. Theories that likely start by pidgin holing everybodies marxist class.
Acidity, sugar content, salt content and spice level are the things a competent cook will adjust to match today's ingredients and the customers requests.
Same as always, someone will figure out a way to make money providing a new service employing the mouth breathers.
40 years ago every 'massage' place was a cover for prostitution, maybe 50 years ago. Now its a billion dollar industry, employing many people.
At a shitty job level. I remember seeing the first 'sign swinger' and thinking 'that can't generate be profitable'. Seeing as how it's proliferated, I was wrong.
Fast food is IMHO an industry ready to be turned upside down. By mom and pops. The quality of the food is so bad and the cost so high that the franchisers have created an opportunity. I've seen a few, kick their franchiser to the curb, take down the sign and continue operating, no doubt at a lower food cost. The names once meant something, now they mean things like 'nasty pink slime' or even worse 'yum foods brand'.
I can get good Thai food lunch and iced coffee for less than a Carl's Jr combo. If only they had a drive through. Granting the dinner menu is higher.
No fast food franchise makes a decent onion ring. Even the ones that have all the ingredients on hand, use frozen crap they have to pay too much for from corporate. Onion rings are like Irish coffee. If you do it right, I will go past 10 places that don't to get to your business.
We have yet to see how the state owned industries in Scandinavia play out in the long run (state ownership of 'means of production' is the thing that separates 'socialism' from 'welfare state'). Right now they are sitting on piles resources and returning cash to the state (as would putting the resources out to bid).
They can all turn into British Rail. There is no end to the supply of nephews/nieces of powerful people (all 'air thieves') that need employment. Rent seeking happens and entrenched cash flows are hard to kill once established.
1.5 billion $US/year for 'rural electrification' in 2014: a program built to electrify 40 acre family farms in 1935. 40 acre family farms no longer exist. Getting a wire to your rural location is 'full price', about 10k$/pole in CA in 2000, no doubt more now. That federal money goes where it goes because 'that's where it has always gone'. Rent seeking end game, albeit a crony capitalism version.
It that became a common problem, common solutions (escrow, simultaneous exchanges) would also be common.
The bigger issue is just taking stuff and 'fuck you'. The real problem with that, a thief never knows who can kick his ass.
There is no time that 'when seconds count, the cops are at least 15 minutes away' applies. A pistol effectively means that any little old lady can 'kick the ass' of a thief. It's not a 'governmental system' that meets out violence. It's the fact that the majority are not thieves, the most basic 'social contract': 'I won't take your stuff, you don't take mine, and we will have peace.' There is a threat of violence in that contract.
Front wheel drive cars have been engineered to let the engine flop backwards and down in a front end accident (going under the passenger compartment) for more than a decade.
I place no value on Wikipedia for political subjects. I did read it, but it's largely BS. Interesting history, but nothing to do with current libertarian thought and groups. Clearly the article 'owner' is a 'leftest libertarian' in the model of Chomsky.
Practical left government can't be libertarian. No command economy can be. Build a leftest non-command economy and maybe, but that has never worked outside small volunteer groups.

I'll have you know I could listen to my collection in only about 4.5 years. Assuming I never slept.
If I fed different streams to each ear and had my corpus callosum severed I could get through it in just over 2.
If I only had 122GB of music, I think I'd cry. Lame, what did he do, pay for it all?

Both have histories.
The history of state run corporations is very bad. Eventually they strangle a market segment and/or become un-affordable, even for government.
I don't know where you are looking. Capitalism has lifted more than a billion people into the middle class in the last 20 years.
If you leave 1 car length plus an inch, you don't have a choice about mergers.
That's generally about 0.15 BAC. Below about 0.12 it's like you got temporarily older (mostly slower reactions). Money makers.
Most people never drive beyond the abilities of their cars.

You are thinking of good cars. We are talking about front wheel drive econoboxes.
When in France, do as the French do.

The fat fat money in fast food is soda.
Gambling is, more or less, legal everywhere.
Vegas had to remake itself and start to charge full retail++ for everything.
The cheap buffets and free drinks were the only reason I ever went to a casino.

The queen's English hasn't adopted many Russian words. But it has one: Yob.

You must be a lousy cook.

Is that original? You should attribute such a great line. I've stolen it for future use...

They are pigs. Acceleration is good, but corners are miserable. Think of it as a 600hp Cadillac and you'll get the idea.
