Would we be better off as a country in a world where Intel was just another DRAM manufacturer that went bankrupt in the early 80s and we had to buy all of our processors from Italy because Federico Faggin never came to the US?
There are contractors in the office as well, some of whom may be working on temporary H-1B visas. Employees say they notice more foreign workers in the hallways.
Actually foreign? Or just Americans who are less uniformly white?
Galvanized iron plumbing largely replaced lead plumbing in the early 1800s, so you would expect lead contamination to be a much bigger problem in cities east of the Mississippi.
When a government bureaucrat uses their authority to retaliate against a member of the public for having a bad attitude, clearly the member of the public is at fault. That's what they get for not groveling to their superiors properly.
What's the confidence interval on the death rate? Is an increase from 723 per 100k to 730 per 100k statistically significant or is it just random noise?
Unfortunately, Karpeles "had signed a non-disclosure agreement that left him unable to discuss the loss,"
There's no way this would have been an enforceable contract. There can't be a "meeting of the minds" when one party is withholding the fact that nearly a million dollars is missing from the company.
I understand that even paper money doesn't have any actual value beyond what we as society place on it
People may intellectually realize this is the case, but they don't really believe it on an emotional level, which is why they're unable to accept there's no real difference between Bitcoin and the US dollar.
Will someone PLEASE come up with an interoperable chat protocol, because I'm getting sick of every single person I need to communicate with wanting me to use yet another messaging app that no one else I know uses.
Money from fines should be distributed to the citizens as part of the tax process. e.g. if your municipality collected $10 million in fines last year and 1 million people live there, everyone gets $10 when they file their local taxes. Same process at state and federal level.
If tickets don't provide additional revenue, there's no incentive for abusive ticketing.
So that time, when an author tries to correct a "theory" someone else has on his own book, he isn't an authority.
Nor should he be. Interpretation is done by the readers, not the writer, so just because the author meant something to be interpreted a certain way tells us nothing about how it is actually interpreted.
Are you a millionaire who feels you're undertaxed? You'll be happy to know that since 1843, the US Treasury Department has had a program that allows you to send them money to your heart's content!
How long before tech journalists all start talking about how Apple "invented" wireless charging in 2016 and accusing Qi or Powermat systems of just copying Apple's brilliant idea?
...but I just have to marvel at the degree of specialization in advanced economies such that "fake language designer" is actually a viable career possibility.
...there's so sort of open connectivity between disparate messaging services, the way there is for SMS or phone calls. Right now, I can call anyone with a phone from any other phone, regardless of who made the phones or what company is providing the service.
Meanwhile, it seems like every couple of weeks, someone is asking me to install whatever the hip new messaging app of the month is. No, I'm not going to install a program that just duplicates the functionality of four or five other programs I already have just so I can talk to one person.
A lot of old software would differentiate if it was running on a Windows 95 or Windows 98 system by checking if the OS Name string began with "Windows 9". Microsoft jumped from Windows 8 to Windows 10 to avoid creating problems if someone tried to run one of these apps on a Windows 9 system.

"Challenged Accepted", said Windows 10
So their response to "I'm worried you may be monitoring my calls" is "Oh don't worry about that, we monitor you even when you aren't making calls"?

So how is that $2.4 million you "invested" in a company you get no return on and have no control over working out?
...this is what you get when you legalize recreational marijuana.
So how do we get more companies to implement XMPP?
I guess I should have been more specific "come up with an interoperable chat protocol that everyone actually uses".
