UK corporations are, in theory, supposed to pay a portion of "national insurance". In practice, the employee pays all of this.
I'm not sure what you mean by this. The company certainly pays more that the "NI deducted" which shows on the payslip. If you mean the company takes their NI commitment into account when deciding what to pay people then yes I agree. If you mean that salaried staff have to pay the full amount from their headline salary, then no.
I've had thoughts along the same lines. What if you had a tri-state halting oracle that responded with "halts", "doesn't halt", or "paradox"? That should survive Turing's proof, I think.
The problem is that any deterministic tri-state machine can be represented as a turing machine. (I sat through a lecture once which proved that von neumann architecture is equivalent to a turing machine, and the gist is more states (like memory) can be represented by longer sequences on the turing machine).
You bought a car which needs to be plugged in, you knew there was a shortage of available public charge spots and now you're mad that you can't find one?
If you knew of the problem before you bought the car, and you still bought the car, then you're an idiot.
It sounds like you have come to slashdot, read some stupid article and now you are mad about it....
I read somewhere that the largest initial benefit with the introduction of 4g was that 3g networks improved as the real heavy data users upgraded. I wonder if the same thing will happen to 4g when 5g is introduced. It's nice to be behind the curve but benefit anyway!
How To Make Messages Easy For an Alien Race To Understand
Just speak loudly, use short sentences and include what ever small bits of any foreign language you know. If they don't understand speak in an adulterated way:
Englishman to Alien: Me Human. You Alien. We Friends. Comprendrez? Alien to Englishman: (some sort of bioluminescent flashing) Englishman to Alien: Huuuuuuuman. Aleeean Frieeeends. Das ist gut, Jah?" Alien to Englishman: (some sort of bioluminescent flashing)
Booted my dual-boot computer into Windows to try the free upgrade out of curiosity. I usually use Windows once a year, to update my satnav maps (and cure them for not having a linux update option)
I wonder how many people believe both that "The Martian" is based on a true story and that the Apollo moon landings were fake. I bet there are a few, some people seem to be serial conspiracy theory/hoax believers.
I wonder if there are equal efforts to get more men into projects like community quilts, bake sales, etc? This may seem flippant, but why should it be important that women are not spending their spare time on one sort of hobby/social project, but less important that not many men spend time on others?
Too bad, because the book constantly references OS360, whose development was the inspiration for the book.
It's been a while since I've read it, but I don't remember it mentioning Unix, atleast not in any significant way.
Back in those days you typically has many small, single-purpose programs "piped" using files, regardless of the specific OS.
Given the small memory sizes available, this was pretty much the only way to handle large jobs.
It's been a long time since I read it, I'm sure your right,
No, I don't remember that, seeing as how TMMM was published in the 70s, and Linux was released in the 90s.
If you meant Unix, then you're getting closer temporally, but you've still missed the target.
I'll assume your auto-correct substituted "Linux" when you really meant "OS360", but I'd like to see some examples of "discreet OS360 programs and pipes" to support your statement.
Microservices may help parallelisation in one are, where the services are implemented. Designing and specifying the services and interfaces, then integrating and testing will have a complexity overhead. Also coordinating fixes and releases over a large number of developers will take longer. In most projects the advantage will be limited.
Remember when the mythical man month was written a microservice-like architecture of text based systems using lots of discreet Linux programs and pipes was quite common and heralded as a way of splitting down a system and allowing parallel development, so the concept was probably know to the author.
If someone attempts an emission test they'll transform and say "If you think you are going to shove that probe up my tail-pipe you've got another thing coming".
I think its another case of technology being ahead of legislation. The idea of the black cab rules was not to give a few guys a privilege for nothing. By insisting that they pass the knowledge people know that they will be driven by someone who knows where they are going, the quickest route in the current traffic conditions, and alternatives if there are accidents. Now a good sat nav with real-time traffic updates will do the same thing. Perhaps the need for the monoply has gone now.
An interesting bet. How many of the high-school / college mass killings in USA were done by the religion of peace, do you reckon?
Not many, but this one is a conspiracy of four. While its possible that four lone loonies found each-other it is much more likely that they were all muslim, and that way knowing that they would at least not get reported for telling each other their plans.
I'll lay money that you've never actually talked with any real people of that religion, and only have your conception of them based on what you see in the media.

Funnily enough, Data was "Number Two" in line for the captain's chair.
... and the last thing you want is a "Number two" in the captain's chair.
This is proof! When is this scourge of patriarchy going to end???
I'm sure you're right. I bet that not one of those six charging points mentioned was reserved for gay black trannies
Californians are just terrible people in general, and no amount of "green" technology or reduction in fossil fuel consumption can change their nature.
It's generation X. Now back in the good old days.......

For a moment there, I thought you were talking about the moon landings.
Didn't you know that the Moon landing was actually faked by filming on Mars. But when they finished they left one crew member behind .....

They also put NYT's 1,000,000 subscribers into perspective, BBC News Online gets 40 million unique users a week.
... All euro courts are invalid. Seriously, eurosluts, what do you think you can do? Where are your carriers? Har har har.
Yes but we'll laugh back when highly polluting VWs have to be accepted on US roads because they meet European standards

As far as I know the recent Oklahoma college killing. We'll see about this one shortly I'm sure
