Every CEO needs to be paired with a CJO. The Chief Judicial Officer operates a parallel organization which is funded by settlement winning secured against the primary institution.
Pascal not worth it, ha, I think I still have Fortran 77 books on my shelve. GCC has current compilers for both of these langanges. Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it.
1. I keep most programming books, in fact I still have 8086 assembly and qbasic on my shelf. My rational is they are as useable today as they were twenty years ago. However, books like HTML3 were recycled years ago.
2. Technical books get recycled after ten years. I.e. Windows 95 for retards, Ethernet the definitive guide, Astrisk, CNE study guide, Master Fedora 3, Absolute FreeBSD. However, a book like "The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System" would be kept as it is a reference book ooperating system design... which fundamentally hasn't changed in thirty years.
3. I unconditionally keep all math, chem, electronics, science type reference books. It's not as if the laws do the universe are going to change anytime soon.
Basically, open the book up to a random section, if it is still relevant (I.e. calculus, electronics principles, x86 assembly programming, c programming, perl cookbook, etc.) keep it.
On the other hand, every other smartphone seems to be working just fine with a $2 standard microUSB cable.
Too be fair, the lightning interface is more then a simple data interconnect. It's a host controller that can function as an A/V interface (plug it into a TV), SD card reader, or even a USB host. Like its older sibling it's designed to be used with third party accessories, any company can make cables or accessories. A micro-controller chip is in connectors to make all of this possible. The cables in question hacked the interface to get around patent licensing. The company responsible for this is trolling for sympathy.
Not to be confused with PBFS, a storage medium consisting of ones and zeros written on peanut butter toast. Even with a redundant array of inexpensive peanut buttered toasts the MTTDL is quite high, on account to them being eaten.
What's needed is for vendors to include a charge only port. I.e. a red colored USB port. Or have in the BIOS the ability to disable device enumeration.
Hey that's no fair, I disclosed this idea to IBM for patent last year. Furthermore, if your device needs less than 100ma, you can simply use a clip to cover the data pins. You can make it out of a pop can for free. Also you could snip the data wires on a USB extension cable. For high power devices all you need to do is splice in something to negotiate current with the host controller.
Maybe the solution to the concentration of wealth problem is having to give it back at death. I recall our founding fathers saying something about all men being created equal. Change the game, perhaps reward individuals who educate themselves and advance society with special privileges.
Everyone else will be in the same boat, the markets will correct themselves and return to a natural equilibrium. Robots do the work for a fraction of the cost of human labor, you don't need to pay them. Cheaper products, however for-profit corporations will need to be addressed. Concentrating weath, to the extremes we allow today, would destroy society. Ideally labor automation would free us to do more productive things. However, that won't happen unless we address the cost of education.
Not the best idea, but maybe those who can't afford the treatment can be subsidized by the government if they agree to sterilization.
If fact, the government should subsidize all voluntary sterilizations and forms of birth control. Almost all of the worlds problems stem from overpopulation. Furthermore, if they incentivize this, it may be possible to achieve negative population growth.
People think that individuals on welfare have babies on purpose, but the reality is they can't afford birth control. Give free birth control to anyone who wants it, it's as simple as:
1) a medical professional writes you prescription. 2) you take it to the pharmacy. 3) if it's on the approved formulary, the pharmacy bills it to the government.
A very promising vaccine candidate for HIV/AIDS has shown the ability to completely clear the simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV), a very aggressive form of HIV that leads to AIDS in monkeys. Developed at the Vaccine and Gene Therapy Institute at the Oregon Health and Science University (OHSU), the vaccine proved successful in about fifty percent of the subjects tested and could lead to a human vaccine preventing the onset of HIV/AIDS and even cure patients currently on anti-retroviral drugs.
Not the best idea, but maybe those who can't afforded the treatment can be subsidized by the government if they agree to sterilization.
Is it? Is there any *real* evidence that pure nicotine, in these sort of doses, is actually harmful for you, when not associated with tars, benzene, and all the other nasties in cig smoke? Or is it more like caffeine, where it might exactly be "healthy", but the real risk at typical usage levels is miniscule.
Umm, mouth cancer from chewing tobacco? Regardless of the health effects nicotine is still addictive, the only thing that helped me quit was a prescription for Chantix.
I'll be damned if I want my grandchildren automatically genome-branded by the government to the detriment of their education, employment, and insurability.
No one wants the reality you speak of, we've already implemented laws to prevent this. The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008. Furthermore The Americans with Disabilities Act extends to individuals with genetic disabilities. Additionally affirmative action applies to any organization receiving federal funding.
Viruses and many other things can mutate DNA, I don't see a downside in making a backup copy of yourself.
Are the Feds going to stop harassing banks that accept marijuana businesses as customers? Currently, medical dispensaries have to operate as cash-only businesses, which leaves them vulnerable to robberies.
I hear Bitcoin Savings & Trust is looking for new customers. In all seriousness, the dispensaries could join together an form their own credit union.
I don't believe this is legal, while you do have the right to terminate an employment relationship in a employment at will relationship, you're exposing yourself to a tort claim for misrepresenting the terms of employment. You could end up paying for the damages that result from unemployment. At the very least, your actions are unquestionably unethical and a jury would find contempt in your admission.
State clearly in writing what behavoir is acceptable and what is not in an employer handbook and have the employee sign something stating they have read it. This benefits you and your employees, and employee could have assumed they had flex time to make up for the time they spent on Facebook. All you've effectively done by not documenting these conditions is make yourself into an asshole.
"To be perfectly frank, I think a lot of skeptics are too ready to stop there and just infer the rest.
And why not? It's reasonable to presume that these church goers should have been protected from the measles due to their belief system. This was not the case, and scientific reasoning would conclude that the evidance does not support the basis of their religious system. Based on available reseach, one could further infer that the reason for these mistaken beliefs was due to a cognitive impairment. While it's not unknown if this impairment is genetic or a product of environment, it's entirely reasonable to conclude that this cognitive impairment effects logical reasoning, which is one of the components measured in a IQ test.
Gravity is just a theory, yet modern physics is built upon this inferred axiom. Few things can be authoritatively proven, yet we have built the modern world on these presumptions. In any case, these inferences do not contradict current theories and the burden is now to hypothesize tests to support or refute this reasonable theory. Logic, and empirical evidence, conclude that religous individuals can rationalize absurd beliefs, this implies impaired reasoning, and this concisely explains negative correlation with IQ. I'm satisfied with not exploring other theories becouse my inferences conform with Occam's razor, however if you can find a simpler explanation I'm willing to at least listen.
I'm also content in my beliefs of a deistic reality, as it does not contradict available data and satisfies the psychological need for purpose in life and the possibility of an afterlife. Blind faith is absurd, but on the other hand so is atheism; the premise being that if life is purposeless, why would one subject themselves to the trials and tribulations of life? As life is a death sentence right from the start, logic implies that one should end their life once they belief atheism as fact, however society correctly asserts that this is a mental defect because one can not know with absolute certainty that life is pointless. Belief in abrahamic religions is equally delusional, harm others, and should also be assumed to be a mental defect.
Anyone who actually believed in a flying spaghetti monster would be suffering from a serious mental defect. In this hypothetical, it is reasonable to automatically infer some type of cognitive impairment if IQ was negatively correlated with a belief in flying spaghetti monsters. However as soon as you throw Jesus or Allah in the mix people go fucking nuts. If you're suggesting that we investigate why these individual clearly lack critical thinking skills, that would be great, but I don't think that's what you meant with your statement.
Desktop standardization has nothing to do with it, the problem was, and continues to be:
Application availability. Application toolkit interoperability. Inconsistent management of applications.
The purpose of a kernel is to manage the operating system, and the purpose of a operating system is to run applications. After 22 years they still don't get this, users don't fucking care about some abstract kernel!
It's just like a car... few people actually care about the engine, they just put gas in the fucker and expect it to get them from point A to B. Point B isn't a kernel, it's a application, the kernel is merely the engine in the car.
You can bolt on the best engine in the world to a Yugo, but at the end of the day it's still a piece of shit Yugo.
In theory, yes. In fact it's like the school bully going through your lunch box and you catching him doing it. What are you gonna do? Beat him up? C'mon...
What ever the case, IBM's three state side research centers are located in... wait for it...
IBM Research - Almaden: San Jose, California IBM Research - Austin: Austin, Texas IBM Research - Watson: Yorktown Heights, New York
For anyone who hasn't been to Austin, it's call Silicon Hills for a reason. Texas (Austin, Dallas, Ft Worth) is the second largest tech epicenter behind California. The rest of the jobs are in the DC / New York area, typically government contracts. These three places (CA, TX, NY/DC/MD/VA METRO) capture probably 75% of the market.
We know how Silicon Valley got started, but why Texas? Don't get me wrong, I love Texas, but I don't understand how tech got such a strong foothold in Austin.
When you're working on confidential or classified systems, rule number one is don't open things you have no business looking at. When auditors pull logs they can see the files you access, and regardless of your access level, you open yourself to unnecessary liability. You're also a liability to the company if you can't restrain yourself from prying into matters that don't concern you. Ignorance is bliss, moreover, rummaging through someones possessions without cause is unethical.
LOVEINT is nothing more then a euphemism for stalking. No past, present, or future lover is going to be ok with leveraging national security resources to keep tabs on them; this is criminal.
I don't mean to imply you can make actual espresso, what I meant is that for 50 cents a cup it's close enough that you'll be satisfied with the results. It's comparable to an Americano.
God do I miss a perfectly pulled shot of espresso where the bitterness is only on the tip of your tongue and there is no salty aftertaste.
I find that brewing extra bold dark roast K-cups on the smallest cup size in my Keurig is good enough. Mix with milk, or your favorite creamer, and it makes an decent latte for 50 cents a cup. Sumatran Reserve is my favorite simply because it's fair trade certified, however the Italiain and French roasts produce the most authentic espresso like results.
