You'd be wrong.
305 GB - 1 roku player on my network.
In the past 30 days I've used 1,206 GB - avg of 150 GB per computer on the network - streaming uses a ton of bandwidth - especially if your network is fast enough to never downgrade the video.
They are fully and wholly responsible under the law for the actions of all of their customers now.
If two people infringe copyright by exchanging USB keys in a restaurant, then are you saying that the restaurant is a secondary infringer, liable up to the same amount as the primary infringer?
No but if you setup a meeting place where two people could exchange USB keys by giving them to you first, and then handling the swap - yes - you would be.
Looking at 2017 (expand the timeline to the year) - it sure does look like they export most of the time - with a few blips of import. Looking over other graphs I saw them import from France but on the *same* day they were exporting 10 times that amount to other countries - so end result.... a power grid working as designed to move power from one spot to another - that sometimes results in imports that wouldn't be needed if the country was in isolation?
Of course, if you think the only difference between an unemployed person and Jeff Bezos is that Jeff Bezos is privileged enough to have been given the job of CEO to make his billions... well that's where we differ.
No - although he's exceptionally separate from most billionaires. If you think that the difference between someone working 60+ hours a week and the heir to the Campbell's fortune - (the Dorrance family - 17.1 B) is that the heirs are brilliant hard workers - well that's where we differ. People like Bezos deserve everything he has in life - people like the Dorrance family *may* be awesome - but it's doubtful. For every Bezos there are millions of flubs - I don't doubt that - and neither did the people who created this country. That's why the *estate* tax (death tax) was 90%.
For the record the kids in the Dorrance family - even though they were super rich and never had to work a day to earn the wealth - don't seem to 'do nothing' with their lives. The point I was making above is... someone who was already going to do nothing is better off not having to half ass it and make everyone elses lives miserable. Anyone who has even a shred of initiative or desire to better themselves can still do so - only now instead of the stress of trying to find a job that pays rent they can focus on finding a job that betters themselves.
I think the net effect of UI would be positive because I see it as getting people who don't want to work out of the workforce - I see that as a good thing - jobs that could be shitty *only because of a glut of labor* are forced to be better to attract people. Jobs that only have people doing the motions are better because they go home don't bother. Thats just me though - I'm not saying it's even doable - I just dislike the idea that assumes everyone automatically will do nothing. Sure some will - I just wish they weren't around already - because every damn 'joe' that only shows up to do the least amount of shit to keep a job makes my day harder.
> We also know that a segment of the population, given the option to do nothing WILL DO NOTHING.
Do we actually know that?
I think it's good of them to try it out in small scale just to be sure.
Well the real question is does everyone need to do 'something that benefits a corporation' to bring value to the world. Someone do 'nothing' that sits at home and has no goals or ambition - well they are better off being paid not to work anyway - because they are going to do a shit ass job and make life worse for everyone else. Someone who might enjoy painting or creating art/song/etc. may do so now instead of taking up another job calling people to renew their car warranty. Is that still 'nothing'? Are we net better off?
If the 'worthless jobs' of working at a fast food place double your take home - would people treat them with more respect - because no boss will put up with lazy crap because at the back of their heart they worry about the kid at home that needs food/a home?
There are so many interconnected threads to the idea of what someone might do with the money.
As to the 'people given the option WILL DO NOTHING' - well that's 100% provable lie. We don't need the study to know this.
Answer to this question - is another question - How many billionaires that never need to work another day in their or their great great great grandkids lives - sit at home and do nothing?
Your payroll number doesn't match your source. That said I like how that is 'estimated' - having been in the meetings going over year end, where average profit per store was 78% of every dollar earned - I think the 'estimate' is not correct.
But hey - if it is the fast food places in other areas with higher minimum wage would be operating at a loss - even though they aren't... so perhaps (again) bad numbers? Oh yeah - biggest cost per store - rent/utilities/product - labor was laughable.
The FCC was enacted by congress to pass regulation. Sweet Christmas do you even understand what nonsense you are spewing when you say things like this?
Personally, I think that Pai's "net neutrality repeal" which actually is a common carrier reclassification that takes the FCC out of the picture, together with state or municipal regulation, is the correct answer. But I'm far less upset by the possibility of Congress passing an actual law defining net neutrality compared to the "save net neutrality but only until the composition of the FCC board changes again" side that has been making such a big fuss.
You are right - Congress should go full bar and classify internet as full common carrier with all the restrictions instead of the 'light' version that the FCC gave it. Make the internet a utility like it deserves to be.
Most do have a choice. People can choose to not get insurance at work, and instead get their own plan at an insurance company. Or at least, could a few years ago. Now with Obamacare, what was true may longer be the case.
That's still an option. It's just cheaper to do now - before private insurance would start at around 12 grand a year with a 20 grand deductible.
Likely Tesla hasn't complained because they are wrapping up their first manufacturing partnership in China and probably expect to be able to meet sales requirements.
Wouldn't Tesla meet the requirements regardless? I thought they only produced electric vehicles - meaning 100% of any sales are zero emissions.
Well some googling showed that they already paid for it - as Mississippi law allowed them to bill for plants under construction up until recently. Then there is the SEC investigation and a whistleblower lawsuit - I'm going to go with when you smell shit....
"A method for routing multicast packets in a network is disclosedJuly 1993
"IP multicast was first introduced in Steve Deering's Ph.D. dissertation in 1988" ref
I'm unsure what you are going for - but if you invented a new way of routing TCP/IP that was new and unique you could still patent it today. When the protocol was invented or even made public has no relevance to a patent on how to route said packet.
(this post is not intended to support software patents)
They were called into the bosses office from working calmly - told they were terminated - at that point security (which was aware and waiting prior) showed up. After that they were escorted back to their desk to collect things - at that point they started crying - this was a guy for what that is worth - pretty emotional. The guard stood outside until he was done and then walked him out the building.
Unsure why security was involved - I've seen everything from extended 2 month notices to 'never showed up' to this perp walk out the door. I'd say 90% of the time it's a usual notice - of the 10% not many get the 'walk' - although I've been told there are some positions that are deemed especially sensitive where any notice results in instant termination along with revocation of security clearance and access - these are higher up the food chain.
Speed limits should be set based on the first only. The entire objective is reduce the probability of and accident to an acceptable level, not reduce it's severity.
Yeah - my seatbelts, crumple zone, side impact airbags, front impact airbags, passenger airbags, re-enforced pillars, side impact beams, automatic roll shut off, bumpers, safety glass, etc. all are very helpful at reducing the probability of an accident.
That's a seriously wrong statement.
I'm glad you still run programs via a single threaded OS and only ever have one program running on the machine at one time.
99.999% of the computers out there running x86 software use an OS that takes advantage of multiple processor cores to run the vast amount of threads and programs running on the computers at the same time. Typically OS level (1), Antivirus (2), Program (3), Network stack (4), etc.
Just saying that's a very minor point - right now I have 140 processes and 2286 threads running concurrently on my machine. Having more cores allows these threads and processes to not block each other when needing resources. Yeah if you have a single threaded program that uses a ton of computing time having something that clocks a bit higher is nice - but spreading your OS load over more cores is never a bad thing and thinking that it's useless is really just wrong if you do anything more with your machine than a single task.
Sure - that doesn't stop it from being the message of climate change (especially when it's not loudly denounced) nor does it stop the message being out of control today (climate change causes prostitution - yep real headline).
And yet when you try and use rational thought on those articles you get the same responses everywhere 'denier' 'koch shill' etc. My worry is that the politicization of the topic along with the fervor used to defend it against any challenge at all no matter how trivial (the reason you see people compare it to a religion - because defending silly claims is silly) eventually will do more damage to science as a whole than anything else in modern history.
I think it has a marked effect on our culture and is partially responsible for other ludicrous crap like anti-vaxxers but you know never question because 'denier' is a powerful and vicious derogatory against someone who disagrees (even if it's over nuance) - at least until enough people decide to claim the title and we go back to a dark age.
It wasn't one statement - it was multiple headlines over a period of a few years.
Don't put words in my mouth please I didn't say climate science collapsed. I said if you don't understand the joke here it is
I think the 15 years is being taken out of context (in all the replies) - 15 years is the period between publication of the first 'snow is gone in 10 years' article (2000) and today (2015) - it's not some magical number if the article was published 30 years ago I would have said 30. The only reason 15 years is relevant in my comment is because 1) that's how long its' been that the headlines were such, and 2) it is longer than the decade claimed after which snow was gone.
The headlines today aren't any less ridiculous - Science (the publication) just blamed the Syrian War on climate change. I'd actually go so far as to say the kook headlines are worse today than 15 years ago - and that's exactly what I mean when I say 'looking at 15+ years' - the ridiculous and unsupportable claims that climate change is the cause of every problem in the world at the same time.
No kidding one winter isn't. That's the reason why the 'settled' science saying snowfalls would be gone in a decade (pub. 2000) is laughed at. Instead of embracing the joke and laughing at the kook element that is crying that the sky is falling the fact that you feel the need to 'defend' science (why is this a thing - science is what it is - evidence doesn't need defenders it speaks for itself) just doubles down on the hypocrisy.
There are plenty of us that thing the world is getting warming - are unsure but willing to let the actual evidence and further research prove how much is human forcing - and actually think most 'green' policies are fine at face value, however also think that the fervor used to tout 'climate change' is neither scientific or rational.
I wonder where the idea that weather = climate comes from?
Could it have been that it was used to promote global warming stories?
http://www.independent.co.uk/e...
Don't cry when the same people who were fed crap stories about snow never happening due to global warming turn around 15 years later and laugh about it. Do try and understand that when you have been actually paying attention (and not just wringing your hands and worrying) to the 'message' and what climate change is attributed to have caused, for 15+ years it's pretty obvious to see the hyperbole and just plain stupidity when it comes to global warming - sorry climate change, where it is never wrong, the science (which was settled) never changes unless there is a pause and then it changes to match the data and it was settled and now it's settled again.
Or you know when we say there is an el nino when the criteria to actually announce that is a hard coded science flowchart requiring 5 months of elevated readings of which we only have 4 currently (assuming NOAA's data for this month is also elevated) - but you know that'd be using actual science to question why the rush to breathlessly declare el nino when it's not certain yet. That is really the question.
I believe it was Oregon adventure - you played a wagon making a trip to Oregon - it was pretty popular on the Apple platform in schools as it was 'educational' software.
It seemed like the only thing most schools would let you play were Carmen SanDiego or Oregon Adventure...
At least I had a teacher in grade school that let me play Enchanter - that was a fun game:)
I recently (this weekend) picked up God of War 2 for the PS2 - it does not play in my PS2 - even though I own 20 PS2 games (several of which are as new as God of War 2) and they all play without issue.
When calling the number for tech support - they say it's due to the laser on the machine getting old (because we all know the lifespan of an LED is less than 2 years right?) - even though I can play any dual layer dvd I through into it as well as any *other* PS2 game.
I would say Sony is doing this to many of thier titles...
Being accountable to the shareholder is shuch a bullshit excuse.
Being accountable to the shareholder doesn't mean 'you can only make a profit' - it means you are making business decisions that make the company viable - and protect it's core business - expanding the company as needed.
These things do not require grovleing to Wall Street. If more CEO's realised this then we wouldn't have the problem of Tyco/etc.
Remember an investor should look at a stock buy as a 30 year goal - not a short term get rich quick scheme.
I think our current business practices (and rewarding CEO's based on stock performance) is building a house of cards in the US that will eventually take out a vast majority of the wealth in this country.
Actually I am a Network Engineer for a large multi-hospital system.
I can tell you with over 1000 servers in our farm... MHZ is NOT the issue for servers..
1. Is it reliable?
2. Does it have support for failover/hotswap
3. Does it run the software.
4. Does it meat budget requirements for the system and project?
Those are the questions asked - if you knew anything about the real server marked you would understand that servers are typically several generations behind the latest and greatest.
We still have servers in production that are P2 400 Mhz machines (dual processor) that run major medical systems that support over 400 users - these systems require 24/7 uptime and typically run at 99.96 % uptime (this is with windows NT 4.0)
Don't even ask about the unix systems... IBM hardware that is ancient that supports over 1000 users - talking about 66mhz procs and such. MHZ is definatly not what we look at.
