I don't see how they make money, unless they have slaves to change bedsheets (or don't change bedsheets at all).
And honestly I find it a bit unappealing. When they have their rush hour, it means that you get in a bed warmed by someone else, like a warm toilet seat during a busy event at the stadium. No thanks.
When you say things like that, you're disrespecting people who made the tough choice of ending their suffering and leaving this life on their own terms.
Oh bullshit, white guys are still have more power and prestige in society than anyone else.
Let's put "White male owned business" on a company website and see how much prestige it will gain. Or let's have a "Men in tech" conference, or a "White lives matter" demonstration or a "whitecupid.com" dating site, and then we can revisit your statement.
Anyone have experience with Calibre for reading ePub on desktop systems? Is it s reasonable alternative to PDF?
I use it. It's not all that great, the resize is weird and overall it feels like using something from 1998. And there's a lot of bloat; there's even a built-in browser to "shop" on sites like Google Books, and half the links don't work. They could get rid of 90% of the "features" and it would be a big improvement. But when there's a lot of graphics it's the lesser evil.
Whenever possible I use Kindle; the fact that the highlights are stored in my Amazon accounts is fantastic. I used to take notes or jump around to/from the browser whenever I would find an interesting reference in a book; now I just highlight it and later I can go to my highlights page and see them all at once. Also on Amazon many books can be rented instead of purchased, especially textbooks. When there's a lot of diagrams, though, it's not that good.
Amen to that. I had a subscription at work and at first it was pretty decent, but of course they had to make it useless. I think I'd rather read somehting printed in draft mode on recycled paper than use that thing.
So you think cops will do "media capture and processing" or software development? They don't even trust them with guns, you think they'll give them C++ compilers?
There's a mumbo-jumbo factor to this, like when a developer tells his manager that he has to refactor a lambda to upgrade an O(2n) to an O(1). Why not do jazz hands as well.
Here's what the intro says in the link:
Inconsistent global/basin ocean heat content (OHC) changes were found in different ocean subsurface temperature analyses, especially in recent studies related to the slowdown in global surface temperature rise. This finding challenges the reliability of the ocean subsurface temperature analyses and motivates a more comprehensive inter-comparison between the analyses.
And in the conclusion:
Substantial uncertainty in the decadal OHC redistribution globally among the three datasets prevents reaching a conclusion about the relative contribution of each basin to the global OHC changes. To understand the relation between OHC changes and the global warming slowdown/hiatus, we need quantify the storage of heat not only during the hiatus period but also during the decades before the hiatus. So we recommend a comprehensive evaluation in the future to quantify the impact of insufficient ocean sampling on historical OHC calculations, i.e. the performance of different mapping methods.
Now tell me how you reconcile that with that 4th grader conclusion that the ocean temperature has risen 1.8 Celsius.
I'm not condoning everything the Democrats have said and done, but if you're seeing only Democrats doing things like this you're deaf and blind.
As usual, all you do in your shallow replies is say "it's not true!" and leave it at that. Post a link to support your statement if you want people to take you seriously.
Now imagine being able to mine and apply the data they have on that crowd (in a variety of ways), and cross reference it with other sources.
That data is useless. It has no advertising value whatsoever.
That's the problem Facebook has faced for a long time: advertisers don't care that you Liked the latest Steven Seagal movie. They want to know what you bought on Amazon, and guess what, Amazon already knows that so the Slack data is not going to help them improve their sales. Besides, natural language processing is moving forward but it's still too slow to be useful at that scale.
What Slack would do is add a large customer base to the productivity segment of AWS, stuff like their Gmail clone, which they can peddle to enterprise clients for a premium. As for the 9 billion figure, it's obscene but if the bulk of it comes as Amazon stock, it's not the same thing as writing a big check.
It's like the illegitimate child of Slack and Sharepoint.

BRING BACK MARISSA! She's gonna data-design and a/b test those pixels like a pro.
I heard she's available, and much wealthier than when she left Google.

The guy got screwed out of his Atari money, then out of his Apple money. He needs those $100.
Then the way to say is not "I can't afford it", it's "I don't want it".
this document you use as evidence was published in 1982, and also has nothing to do with Silicon valley.
Try putting a black sounding name on a resume and see how much prestige it gains
Actually you would get hired. That's one of the most sought after demographics, especially in Silicon Valley.
it's true those jokes about the Nazis throwing people into ovens are funny because Jews are white
Let's try.
"What's the best thing that ever came out of Auschwitz? Empty train wagons!"
vs
"What's the best thing that ever came out of Gitmo? Body bags!"
how mindbogglingly privileged and powerful women of any ethnicity are over men of any ethnicity.
Yes, as long as they're not ugly and/or fat. A fat chick is pretty low on the totem pole.
For instance:
Lucy Liu > Jackie Chan > the "Chut up" girl from Donnie Darko
The worst was when I was a girl scout.
Got any pics?
that one commits suicide for self-discriminating
When you say things like that, you're disrespecting people who made the tough choice of ending their suffering and leaving this life on their own terms.
They A/B test protected classes, then measure the outrage.
We all know the real list.
Ok to make fun of:
-white males and asian males
-fat people
-rednecks, creationists and pro-life
Mostly ok to make fun of:
-blonde girls
-gays, especially if they're rich and work in Silicon Valley
-mexicans
-midgets
-transgenders
Not ok to make fun of:
-women, but only womyn-born, excluding natural blondes
-african-americans
-muslims
-handicapped
Interestingly, that list is also sorted according to what people truly wished they were.

Why are you making fun of the "forward" thing? Isn't the fact that he can't afford a $100 expense funnier?
Amen to that. I had a subscription at work and at first it was pretty decent, but of course they had to make it useless. I think I'd rather read somehting printed in draft mode on recycled paper than use that thing.
And they both suck.

These graphs are misleading.
For you and your reading comprehension skills. My children can read and understand a graph better than you.
Maybe your children are immensely smart because I looked at the graph and found it confusing and misleading.
Good point. Maybe we need an immigration ban on those people until we can identify which ones are terrorists.
The day they do that for exit instead of entry the world will be a safer place.

I don't know if there's anything similar, i.e. evolved IRC for companies
Microsoft has one in Office365:

It's reasonable to want Trump impeached for the things he's done since inauguration.
No.
