Again, it is not how much data you consume over a lengthy period of time, it's literally a measure of how many bits are flowing the split second you are using it. And any system will use as much as it can, even visiting a 10kb websites can use 20Mbps worth of bandwidth for a very short period of time (there are limits off course due to the speed of light and latency).
For Comcast to be honest they should say: Hey, we give you 1Mbps down guaranteed, 10Mbps burstable.
All you have to say is: "There is no applicant that fulfills my requirements, I promise" and for good measure you make up a job posting with requirements such as 10 years of experience with Exchange 2016 and a minor in archeology. That's literally the extent of the H1B and the lottery only applies if your company needs more than a certain amount of workers per year, I forgot the exact limits. If you need only a few workers, you're guaranteed to have the applicant you want, it's less than an hour of paperwork and far less issues with HR (it's a modern slave trade).
Where I work we regularly hire through H1B, we pay 35k/y for a PhD from China or Eastern Europe and as an added benefit we/they get a fast track through the green card and permanent resident process later on, in comparison we pay 125k/y and relocation costs for similar degrees from American sources.
500% increase would be 1.25 million H1B's/year on top of the 'regular'.25M work immigrants through other methods such as Visa's.
Regardless of what any carrier tells you, bandwidth is measured in bps not Bpm. The scale of a month is irrelevant to the networking media or any intermediate devices.
Nearly 233k H1B jobs were requested in 2015 to fill highly paid positions, almost double that of 2014. Unemployment is at ~4%, one of the lowest rates ever, immigrants are actually returning to their countries with a net loss of Mexican immigrants (and Chinese/Indian replacing them). Quoting absolute numbers is scary, but expressing it in statistics gives you the real information.
I'm not saying the economy is doing great but it's lack of risk taking and innovation by the upcoming (millennial) generation. Good engineering students are being hired straight out of school to fill positions, there is a huge shortage in the skilled trades, auditors, accountants, (good) IT staff. It's odd that there are so many people unemployable while we are facing an ever bigger shortage of good workers.
But sure, keep giving Timmy the participation prize for last place and pay for his education in the Liberal Arts, that way he can be sure to have a job at McD (which are also all hiring in my area) when he finally leaves the house.
A) it's not property B) it's being given away for free without depriving anyone else of their property or profits
So say you live in a small town and you go weekly to the cinema for a movie. The theatre closes because it isn't profitable enough, so you go watch the same movies at your neighbors house (which is also illegal under current copyright law). The movie producers weren't going to make money anyway because they don't sell it (anymore), who exactly are you depriving?
You can't fix Darwinism, it's a part of evolution, the strong survive the weak don't; the problem is that millennials feel entitled to getting their money while not putting in any effort. There are plenty of "dirty jobs", these people just feel "above that" because they have a bachelors degree in modern English literature and women's studies.
No, you can perfectly legally buy your licenses today and then a year later be out of compliance with another internal, parallel licensing scheme without you changing anything. Microsoft then claims you're doing something illegal and it's cheaper for you to pay up than to fight it.
Even internally Microsoft has no clue what licensing scheme is correct, you get as many answers as people you ask and when audits come along, it's typically whatever is more expensive.
I think that was what this article is all about. It's cheaper to pay the licensing than to pay a lawyer in a suit. It's outside of the range of small claims so it's not like it's a simple case, this will be 3-5y in jury at least.
Microsoft has forced people to pay first user CAL's then later device CAL's and I've seen companies forced to pay per processor AND then later user CAL's AND to connect eg. SharePoint to SQL Server, a connector license. But hey, it's Microsoft, sue them and many (eg. Microsoft Partners) lose their "cheap" licenses and have to pay full price.
This isn't a company using software illegally. This is Microsoft going after their small business customers that can't afford to pay the legal fees and threatening them with legal action just for the hell of it. They then sell them a higher costing licensing scheme just because they can regardless of whether they were covered by the initial terms.
In the Microsoft licensing scheme you have to pay both device CAL's and user CAL's. So for each device you buy a device CAL and per user you pay for a user CAL. Server's also have to pay per processor (which is a toss-up between physical processor, core and thread depending on product and vendor or a combination of them).
There is a small portion of the population where that happens. It's the same population that looks down upon schooling for their children and demands their precious little idiots pass a grade regardless of their performance. The rest of the population has a general rise in intelligence and more people are getting a higher education than before.
I'm sure someone scoffed about dusting off old history books to try to predict the outcome of the invention of the lathe and power loom down in the pub 200 years ago.
Most of the people YOU know may want to do that. Most people I know (my friends) are like that as well, but that's because we're highly educated and never needed to worry about working in a dead-end job. Most people I see around me (I live in the inner city) are perfectly happy sitting around on their UBI (unemployment) for years and are really not involved in creating any real economic value for themselves or others, quite often the contrary.
I'm sure when capitalism fails another thing will take it place. Capitalism has always been around, even the feudal farmers were capitalists. We've just refined it over time. Societies may collapse, but it's typically not because people get free money, usually that's the last resort to stabilize a failing political system.
Most developed nations already have a UBI: It's called unemployment/retirement and in Europe it's fully funded by most states perpetually for anyone who asks. Greece is the prime example of what happens when you give everyone this UBI perpetually without creating any value in your economy.
Look at any inner city in the EU or in the US, plenty of takers of our current levels of UBI (and they're already at ~$2k/mo). The problem is that the majority of people will not work if they get free money, instead they'll spend it on drugs, alcohol or whatever and make their situation even worse by entering (seemingly) glamorous criminal enterprises, loitering and killing their boredom by harassing others, fighting etc. After a while they'll be asking for more free money to spend and complain about how they're being discriminated against without changing their lifestyle (something about learning to fish).
Business favors highly scalable, automated, stable, secure, low overhead, long support cycles, etc So Linux then? Windows has had it's course. It's a decent operating system for a single system where the operator/administrator doesn't know too much about computers. You could even run a directory service entirely through the GUI. However, it's not very scalable (look at Exchange and SQL Server), it is very difficult to automate (until very recently there was no SSH-like common terminal), it has a reputation of not being stable and requires reboot every time you look at it wrong, security has improved but still not on par with Linux, all that adds up to high overhead and although Microsoft does support it's products averagely long, licensing agreements make upgrading a necessity (eg. if you run an Azure or O365 integration, you can't just stay on Exchange 2003 or Server 2012)
Apple and even Google are replacing enterprise applications very quickly. In higher education almost nobody buys new Windows machines, the current ratio is something like 80/20. The 'new' enterprises (startups) are all running OS X and Linux. The old enterprises are still running some Windows for Exchange and legacy apps but anything new (since cloud and embedded is all the rage) is also running mainly Linux and thus slowly Microsoft is getting replaced and becoming another IBM.
You must not work for any corporation then. Microsoft licensing the OS (and other software) on a yearly, renewing basis has been around for over a decade. They do want this for the consumer as well and have so far done it with Office and e-mail. They want to go on a subscription basis, only then they'd lose either to piracy or Linux.
According to the summary, the researcher did disclose this to Microsoft and they probably didn't respond. This is really a one-day patch kind of thing. Responsible disclosure is only invented by the corporations like Microsoft so they don't have to react quickly to a bug and it's reasonable to expect that the NSA is involved as well so they have a window to exploit the bug.
After the push to responsible disclosure by Microsoft, their products suddenly got "safer". I say disclose, God knows how many bugs Microsoft is sitting on that were "responsibly" disclosed.
a) The experts have no idea b) It's always good for lay people to discuss and perhaps even find out more about this, perhaps they can learn or even educate or become the next Einstein c) Most 'experts', especially the ones journalists quote, simply rely on Newtonian physics to explain things which is fine for most things in and around our solar system but not at either end of the scales d) There are a number of valid theories these days about physics. There should be nothing "more sophisticated", for a physics theory to be a good theory it should be "less sophisticated", simple theories make more sense and do explain a lot more. e) The main problem with the device is that this person described a device without applying/explaining any theory. It's rare to find something that works very unobviously like this simply on a hunch especially with the millions of crackpots out there describing various devices for 'free energy'.
The summary of the article is very wrong, there is no nozzle. If it had a nozzle it would be easy to explain, anything with a nozzle will operate as a rocket regardless of the wavelength you produce (Newton's law about action/reaction) and laser/microwave drives with nozzles have been built, we already use ion drives after all.
This 'engine' is completely closed. It's basically a closed cone in which you send microwaves and somehow you get acceleration. In Newtonian physics this would make no sense because it's a closed system, there is no "action" on the outside (basically the sum of all vectors of force generated come out to 0). However there seems to be something happening at the quantum level (the sum of all vectors is not 0 perhaps because at some quantized level there are hypothetically 'rounding errors').

What do you want them to do? Honk for 5 minutes in the middle of the night? That's what's happening with regular cab companies in my area.

Not if, when. All servers fail a lot more than you'd expect.
Which would be uniform in all directions.
