If you're creative enough there are all sorts of way you can benefit from a charity. Why do you think pretty much every rich person has a personal foundation (Trump Foundation, Clinton Foundation, Gates Foundation, Buffet Foundation) that spends incredible amounts of money on "overhead" to the point they are barely giving any of it away.
Remember when the Gates Foundation was donating to schools - what did he donate - Microsoft hardware and software. So the foundation purchased Microsoft "stuff" and then 'donated' them to schools. And so the value of Microsoft goes up as do the shares he continues to control and then he has to shake some hands and show his face, so he travels, on the foundation's funds obviously, nice hotel for a week or two, private jet etc.
Yeah, I'm sure he doesn't "personally benefit" from those things.
The media portrays this as a neo nazi march, not as "many people are not extremist". If you're a moderate, you just stay home, nazi's will be nazi's regardless of what you tell them and being there doesn't help anyone, they have a few 100 people marching down the street and everyone forgets about it as soon as they turn the corner. The only people that were out there were there to antagonize the other or otherwise tricked into thinking there is a huge threat that neo-nazi's are going to soon take over the US.
People who opposed the normalization of racism were on the streets 50 years ago, when racism was (at least in the US) normalized. People on the street now should look within their own communities as to why they are being "held back" and perceive their race to be by the other. You can't have two groups of people saying the other is holding them back and blame them for what the media currently portrays as 'reality', one, or rather both of them are wrong or cannot see that the media is deluding the people into thinking there are these massive problems that cannot be fixed by democracy.
Sure, if you want to go around victim-blaming, I only stated the facts. I don't have any sympathies for either side of the spectrum though, everyone involved was there with the full knowledge that both sides hate each other and looking for anything to start a nation-wide race war. It was basically two terrorist organizations protesting against each other, we were only missing the Muslims.
On the other hand, you had black supremacist (eg. Cornel West) groups illegally counter-protesting in the place where they DIDN'T have a permit and then when things devolve, the media blames one group.
The problem with most of these corporations is that they only do it halfheartedly, if it gets them in the media or is the politically correct thing to do, then they'll follow up on it but on the other hand they continue hosting sites in the same vein on either or both sides of the spectrum. If they were honest about these things, they would kick off pretty much every alt-right and alt-left blog and the majority of Holocaust-denying, Nazi, BLM and 3rd wave feminist scum web site.
Open means anyone can collaborate or contribute. Free/libre means that anyone can get it free of any asserted rights like copyright. It doesn't mean it's free as in someone may want to charge money to give it to you on CD or charge you for consumed bandwidth.
There are plenty of "open" projects that are not free/libre, generally a company claiming to be open source but the license actually restricts you from sharing although they will take your contributions to improve their software.
You could proxy it. It uses HTTP/2 so it can be proxied without requiring any SSL-shenanigans but otherwise that is the simplest method.
Alternatively, the push notification protocol is open, well documented and very simple (JSON back and forth), people have made some reference implementations although most simply rely on the Apple infrastructure. Various commercial MDM have the feature although it's too bothersome for most people to set up so it's generally poorly documented since it's only useful for apps you can import and sign certificates for which would only be available in your own company 'app store'. But it boils down to including the various certificates for your custom implementation, importing them into the phone using a profile (which the user would have to accept). Then your app (and your app only) can talk to 'your' servers instead of Apple's.
Pushing people to do things 'the right way' is preventing iPhone to turn into Android. This is ONLY targeting lazy developers that haven't updated their app in YEARS (this way of doing it has been possible since 2009 and PushKit as an alternative to polling announced and available since mid-2014).
I'm very glad that VoIP apps don't eat all my battery because they have to poll a service every 5s. Many VoIP apps were simply garbage before iOS 3 and still are on Android, we complain about charging an iPhone once every 2 or 3 days, I had to charge twice a day when I had a particular IM app on an old iDevice, even a current Android I own, doesn't last more than a day when some VoIP/IM apps are open.
You mean, bus drivers and cops should profile black kids and arrest minors for "minor offenses"? Have you heard of Ferguson? In our city the mayor is actually ghetto trash.
Once they elected this mayor, she removed camera systems because it "targeted black communities", liquidated several major crime initiatives and reduced the police force and then when the statistics showed a 30% reduction in arrests per year, she claimed victory over the crime problem - because, as you can see, not targeting high crime neighborhoods reduces crime by 30%.
Because the US media made the accusation in the first place while all evidence points in the other direction. There is no evidence the Russians were even involved much less that they run this particular hacker collective.
The claim that an NSA exploit was used but the NSA exploit wasn't even released until earlier this year. So either the NSA aided and abetted the "Russians" or the story is just spin.
Plenty of unlicensed bands especially for worldwide broadcasting. The NSA and every other government agency in the world have number stations going well back to the Second World War. And even I can find abandoned industrial parks and even residential areas where the power is still on, energy companies can't just be bothered to turn off certain things or engineer a way to disconnect an area of the power grid without affecting surrounding areas and dependencies.
They tried it in our city. The problem is that inner city students were so badly raised, they continually had problems with fights, drugs, robberies and assaults after a few years the bus company cancelled the contract.
You're talking about administrators. They probably have an it person that could've figured this out in less than the prize money but nobody bothered asking.
Each bus needs a driver and 2-3 teachers per day. All of them are also unionized and contracted to drive regardless of load. It's entirely possible this plan won't save anything as the contract has been signed several years ago for fixed amounts of buses.
For a small problem like this you can simply run through all possible solutions with a GPU in a matter of minutes. Brute forcing it is relatively simple, as the article said a couple of weeks of people-work.
I actually have no problem with many things in a "JavaScript application", as long as the user is notified. If someone wants to share their network card, or bluetooth phone, or camera with a web browser, sure, go ahead, give me a checkbox of everything this site 'needs' and allow me to allow/disallow what it needs.
WebRTC, WebDB, WebGL etc. I agree have no use because you can actually implement them (and most 'apps' include shims ANYWAY) in pure JS. Just allow JS to use your hardware/software as the user sees fit. There should be no need to include 100s of libraries in a browser just so idiot developers don't have to find a good library.
I think people would be more than happy if more companies demanded the same treatment, since they would all be creating jobs and building $10B factories.
They are SPENDING $10B in-state, I did the calculation when the original announcement broke, Wisconsin breaks even pretty much within the next few years when it comes to the amount of money the state 'gets back'.
Let's say they're not even hiring anyone, Wisconsin gets ~0.5B back in income taxes when Foxconn gives the money to anyone that builds the plant.
Let's say this building and the economic increase in spending within the area results in 10,000 people that no longer collect unemployment, there is another ~0.5B in state services they no longer have to spend.
There you go, 3 year payback and you haven't even calculated the ancillary services that building a facility like this produces, 10000 people need houses, need cars, need appliances, need repairs, need contractors,... You're pumping $0.5B/year into the economy on wages alone.
I'm not sure if this is good or bad for the game itself. Currently Blizzard uses cheats for "AI" opponents and in the original Starcraft game, many bugs and quirks that rudimentary classifiers found useful were then replicated by humans to make the game rather linear and boring.
Most agree on the facts, the question is what do you do about it. Scenario 1: Let nature take its course, many will die off and/or find technological solutions to the problems that do arise. Scenario 2: Massive changes now in the way we live by benevolent governments which may or may not help the cause, worst case you end up with gorillas freezing to death in winter after they ate the mongooses that ate the snakes, best case is still questionable and you end up in scenario 1 again. Scenario 3 which is most likely is governments like the US and China eradicating the most "problematic" areas of the world in order for their populations to survive, that will quickly halt the growth of the problem, not sure if everyone will agree with that especially if they end up being wrong anyway.
Drown? In knee high levels of water? You need an instant, catastrophic rise in water to have people drown. There have been those people living in boats for all other situations.
This kind of stuff is exactly what many companies do to go into a death spiral. Google is still too big to die right away but in 10-20 years it will be a husk of what it used to be. Twitter had the same thing happen, as did Yahoo - political correctness for the sake of political correctness is damaging long term, you distill a feeling of distrust among employees afraid of speaking up and make customers feel like they're going to get whiney downtrotten employees on the phone when they work with the company.
There are actually few men and women that can assert their leadership without sounding stupid, or being assholes or bitches. You're making generalizations by saying women are all considered that way, it's just that the majority of people in higher positions tend to be that way.
