Perhaps it is childish (to you), to most sensible people it's a comment on the political climate in the US, but removing it when the author explicitly stated decades ago not to is censorship and for that reason alone, the quote should stand.
You're putting a rationalist amongst Fox News pundits? That there, is the left wing problem, if you don't see the difference between rational, scientific thoughts and the other political platform, perhaps you're on the wrong side.
Obviously that would be ideal but while everyone is switching over from "having to man the phones" to "let the robot figure it out" there is going to be some transition.
Or perhaps, they found another company that drives cars around and does mapping stuff. Adding a WiFi receiver to a photo/video/GPS mapping car is easy and there are about a dozen companies that do it.
They do pivot tables and basic graphs, I don't think you know what you're talking about. But "just graphs" is not what we're talking about, the initial GP talked about power pivots, lots of charts, external data sources, macros etc. that is where Excel starts tripping up and many a business have made massive mistakes relying on Excel for those.
How is it a treaty if it can just be instated and revoked at the whims of a single person. A treaty typically involves an entire country leadership agreeing on a thing. Not to say that treaties aren't regularly broken on every side as long as it seems beneficial for their country (like this Iran deal), it's political posturing after all. Germany had a deal after WW1 too, Hitler broke it, the US had a treaty with Native Americans, all of them were broken.
Even as recent as September of last year IAEA reported failing to routinely inspect facilities and not being allowed access to military facilities. Their own politicians are saying the "military sites are off-limits" and "the US doesn't have any influence in the region".
This isn't anything new, the UN commission doesn't have teeth and everybody knows it.
The only difference that a lot of these treaties are costing the US money because of institutionalized guilt. Trump pulls out, they don't cost money anymore, that they are being held up is a 'good' thing in as far as these treaties have any real impact or teeth but at least one nation doesn't have to shoulder the cost because of a bankrupt Europe.
Either way, if Iran actually did what they promised in the last couple of years, they can't just spin up a reactor for bombs tomorrow, build-outs of the technology takes decades to complete. If in the next few months or years, they have a functioning warhead, you know they were lying, if not, then it may have had its effect. Korea is also promising to shut down its nuclear facilities because Trump has been flexing the American muscle and they don't have a treaty. Whether or not they go through with it is another question completely.
I personally don't care much about the promises from politicians, treaties aren't worth the paper they're written on when it comes down to the (perceived) needs of a nation (you can see that in the history of the British and Spanish empires, US Government and Native American treaties, WW1 and WW2, Kosovo and Serbia,...). But if bullying and name-calling stops theocracies and necrocracies from building a bomb, then that is a good thing.
Depends on what you need to do, you need the right people for the job. If you need a programmer, you need a programmer, if you need an accountant or a lawyer, you don't just hire the janitor that used to work at a law firm in the hopes that he might have picked up some knowledge over time. Yeah, it makes perfect sense that if you're handling massive volumes of data, you have a data analyst that knows their stuff. Excel can barely even handle small bookkeeping without running into rounding errors and other weirdness.
There are huge problems with using Excel for data analysis. Excel is an extremely bad tool with very bad precision, it can't even handle simple subtractions.
Set A1-A3 with a number that differs by the same value A1:=21.123, A2:=22.246, A3:=23.369
B1:=A1-A2 = 1.123, B2:=A2-A3 = 1.123
Calculate B1-B2. You expect 0 yet you don't get 0, you get a value. And this isn't a new 'bug' this has been around since at least Excel 97.
There are various other problems that frequently crop up around rounding and formulas using the results of other formulas or sometimes certain cells have the wrong type set (eg. text instead of integer) causing it not to barf up an error but to simply treat the cell as the value 0. Also, anything to do with dates is just wrong with Excel because it has two types of dates, one counting from 1900, one counting from 1904... because.
Or even less. I think the idea should be: Unlock your phone if you want to connect it to a computer. Which is kind-of what happens now although that requires some data to be exchanged. It's also a usability issue but I agree with at least having the option.
Try opening an Excel sheet with 15,000 lines and applying a filter... (I just got one of those in my Inbox - 2MB Excel sheet, takes 2 minutes to re-render any changes on an 8-core i7 (Excel: using 16 threads... 4%)
Yes, and in those cases, if you can get away with NOT having an IT person, shared hosting websites/email is fine as it always was. We now call it Cloud but the concept is the same, we just scale it bigger so you can manage 1500 servers per 1 FTE. But once your IT needs grow beyond the one-admin operation, Cloud is typically a waste because you should just be bringing in a set of cheap servers in-house with a backup somewhere on a VPS.
The main problem with pure "cloud computing" (or as we used to call it: Shared Hosting) is latency and bandwidth, a problem that is harder without massive investment or even impossible to solve altogether. If you have 15,000 employees moving from internal e-mail to Office 365 or GMail, every single instance of these e-mail connections now has to go through your Internet pipes. Whereas you could've gotten away with a gigabit network port to your servers, you now have to have gigabit to the Internet on top of your existing needs, not always possible in certain areas and a huge expense regardless.
The other problem with cloud computing is that the help desk and FTE costs never really went away. Whether you host the servers with Amazon or in-house, the support cost remained the same and the TCO went up for most unless whatever you were running really wasn't core to your business (so basically: if you saved money with the cloud, you were bad at managing your IT).
As more people are looking at remote desktop solutions for various reasons (licensing, security, management and consolidation, GPU computing), the bandwidth requirements just aren't feasible anymore and nobody is clamoring to get 10Gbps ($10-15k/month) to the premises just to feed the cloud company. You can't give hundreds of single workstations a Tesla or a Quadro but you can give them a $500 Dell machine and connect to a system that has 32-something GPU instances. But you're not running this on the cloud, latency alone kills any practical application of it.
Yeah sure, there is no such thing as soft drugs. Talk to victims of alcoholics and "soft" drug users driving around in cars or abusing their kids and family at home before you say the crimes are victimless.
You don't go to jail for being drunk/high at home.
If you're looking for variety, go into sysadmin/operations type jobs with a healthy dose of in-house development, perhaps a small business or startup.
Alternatively given your brief resume, I have a feeling you may be more into research/academics, if you want to do research yourself, get/finish/use a PhD but otherwise good institutions are always clamoring for good people (data/computational/research scientist) regardless of your degree. If you go more into the administration/operations of a research institution rather than the academia, you'll get to do a lot of stuff.
If you just want to make money, right now I'd say, find the recent buzzword and apply for jobs - hundreds of applicants are lining up for AI-related point-and-click programming and for some weird reason companies are paying up the wazoo for them. But real commercial programming is not very prevalent anymore, you're usually tying together some cloud accounts these days and a workflow in between them, it's boring.
And the nice thing about the Internet is that none of it matters. Unless you write in ebonics or oversimplified language, nobody know you'd be black, a kid, your sex and even if you did write in that style, you could just be a KKK troll.
In many cases it's just marketing or false advertising. Eg if you sample stereo at 44kHz, they'll say we sample 5.1 at 192kHz. From a bitrate perspective that is correct but from a true sampling perspective it isn't.
But thatâ(TM)s not necessarily âoethe systemâ(TM)sâ fault. In most cases, these parents have choices, they just choose poorly. Even at minimum wage or unemployment income in the US youâ(TM)re making sufficient money, especially in rural areas, to get a living space and money. Sure it may not be the best and you wonâ(TM)t be able to afford drugs, alcohol and cigarettes but itâ(TM)s sufficient.

People get what they want, easier and faster.
Why not, its more efficient. This could be as easy as a nearly inaudible click added when the line is opened.
The alternate option, when this becomes wider deployed is that the thing develops its own dialect through machine learning.
