Sure, just like when they teached automotive repair in high school, every student left repairing their own cars!
And when they teached shop in middle school, every student left being able to build their own houses! Magnificent!
Just because something is force-taught to kids, does not mean the majority will pick it up after school. The vast majority will take their C+ or B-, move onto the next class, and forget everything they learned before the year is even over.
I agree that giving the kids the option to learn coding as part of school would be a step forward. So would bringing back shop and art class. But please let's not live in a dreamworld where every kid LOVES coding - it isn't going to happen.
Putting all gender equality issues aside for a moment, I can't see how this would be anything but a distraction and counter-productive.
The last thing I would want in my office to aid productivity would be a ton of attractive females who have no job but to fawn over the males who are supposed to be working.... its total nonsense.
Sure, it might help them attract employees, but they will have to hire 2x to 3x the number of them to counteract the productivity hit.
Many of the things you post above are false, because over 75% of drivers drive for Uber and Lyft simultaneously (source: http://therideshareguy.com/how...).
So yes, they can subcontract, and yes, they can offer services outside the Uber app. Furthermore, many (most?) contractors must follow specific procedures set forth by the contracting firm. I have in fact never heard of a contractor who can just deliver a deliverable in any form without following some type of procedure.
All of this is a moot point, because if it is true that 75% of Uber drivers are driving for Lyft at the same time, the idea they are Uber employees and not contractors is obviously nonsense.
Nearly all Android phones come carrier bootloader locked so I would hardly say they have a "different and open mentality".
Even Google's Nexus phones come with a locked bootloader that needs to be unlocked in order to root the phone and do the equivalent of what you do with a jailbroken iphone.
If you had ever used a jailbroken iPhone and realized the capabilities it unlocks, you would change your mind.
The idea that a jailbroken iPhone is more or less secure than an unjailbroken one is a fallacy. The people got this malware by downloading and installing pirated iOS applications that were infected with it - something that is ENABLED by jailbreaking. Just because a phone is jailbroken does not put it into some unsecure state, you have to do that yourself.
The idea that a human is conscious 15 weeks after gestation is total poppycock. There are no observed behaviours AT ALL in the fetus at this point that aren't even exhibited by lower life. Unless you also claim worms are conscious, which implies almost every animal on earth is. That is a pretty broad definition of consciousness.
The truth is, ACTUALLY, traits affiliated with consciousness, such as recognizing ones self in the mirror, actually aren't exhibited in children until several months after birth. So if you're using that as a benchmark, then we would need to relabel killing one month old babies as animal cruelty.
Which is exactly what the article said, that the GP ignored, and what I was replying to in my comment. No one was forced to work extra time that they didn't want to do. The GP basically asserted that no one would work extra time unless they were forced. I said, untrue.
The whole point is pushing the button provides no immediate feedback at all. People are used to pushing a button doing something immediately, not pushing a button and *MAYBE* something happens 48 hours from now.
As such, these buttons are unlikely to gain any kind of popularity.
"Imagine how nerve-racking â" terrifying, even â" tweeting would be if it was immutable and irrevocable?"
Umm... you mean like all other speech?
There is no "undo" button for life Twitter. Deal with it.
I don't even know why the "Delete" button exists in Twitter, because it is stupid and doesn't do much. Various clients allow you to ignore it totally and keep the deleted tweet in your cache.
"I was a mid-level IT dept manager for a major newspaper..."... and there is the difference. You are not a software developer, so you have no idea what it's like. When you have a problem to solve, and you know in your gut you are on the VERGE of solving it, very often you will work late or sometimes work into the weekend to get it done just to see it to completion.
I can not even count the number of times this has happened to me during my career, that I was sitting there coding coding coding, working on the problem, and looked up and it was 7:00PM or 8:00 PM and I totally missed supper.
It happens in creative fields all the time. Have you ever heard the expression "in the groove"? When you are in it, you don't want to get out.
City councilman Johnny Khamis dismissed such criticism: "This is a public street. You're not expecting privacy on a public street."
This argument did not work for Google Maps, who have been forced by various state and municipal governments to blur the license plates and faces of people captured.
But I guess they aren't the government... if the government does it, it's fine.. (???)
You're not listening to me. This has nothing to do with Android. It has to do with the ROM on your phone that came from the phone maker. You need to swap out your ROM for one that is more open, and that allows root access so that you can do these kinds of updates. My Cyanogen ROM can pull updates on a nightly basis if I so choose.
The reason is because when a core system process crashes on android, the system automatically restarts it.
This is normally a good thing - but if you have a scenario where you've done something that will cause a process to crash on start (which is what this thing is), the process restarts and restarts over and over indefinitely, essentially locking you out of the UI. Command line access via ADB is unaffected.
Anyone who has messed around with custom ROMs has likely seen this behaviour many times by flashing an invalid Google Services for the phone.
You need to head to xda-developers.com and learn how to installa ROM. It is not complicated. The process is as simple as copying a zip file to your phone, rebooting the phone, and picking the zip file. Done.
It is unclear to me from these articles or any research I was able to do, if you are vulnerable to this exploit if you use Lollipop which uses NuPlayer by default, not Stagefright.
I disagree. It will put pressure on all the cell phone manufacturers and carriers to stop dragging their feet and release updates in a timely fashion.
This way Google and the group can say "we warned you" if a bunch of Verizon Samsung customers get exploited because Verizon would not allow the release to be published. No carrier wants that kind of news item.
"Siri Dialed" or "Google Dialed" is just as common nowadays. IE, for whateevr reason your phone Media volume is down low and meanwhile Google has decided that you asked it to call someone while your phone is in your pocket - in various situations this doesn't require any button presses at all. Happened to me.
Except the OPs other example, Chrome, offers no workaround. Chrome removed all support for NPAPI, and therefore Java, from the Linux codebase. There is no command line flag or back-end setting to bring it back This makes it IMPOSSIBLE to use Chrome for work purposes by a huge number of people, and forced us all to Firefox.
The only way to get it back is to build it from source yourself, since no one has created a fork yet.

Sounds like this guy is 20% on the way to becoming wolverine. Just needs to replicate this procedure with his arms, spine, and skull...!
That isn't how Google Play works. You can't get the app until it is posted. The app does not exist in Google Play.

The app is still unavailable as of 9:00 PM EST, and in fact I actually got an email from Google saying it is NOT rolling out today.

So then, why wouldn't you just order the thing from a cell phone app (Amazon DASH app) in the first place?
The physical button is stupid.

An increasing number of people think Bernie Sanders is the best Democraft for President.. even if he isn't really endorsed by the party elite.

There are several ways
- Throw a baseball
- Throw a net
- Throw a rock
If it's within your personal airspace (500 feet) on your property you have right to do all of these things.

Not sure if anyone is watching Humans on AMC / Channel 4, but I think it treats the whole AI subject very well this far.
