people used to ask "why don't you use windows?" but since Windows 10 started pestering everyone, people actually ask serious questions about switching to Linux.:D
if you are looking to recruit people based on their skin color, sex, age, etc. then what you are actually doing is discriminating against the majority. racism/sexism/ageism/etc. are not magically acceptable because you have good intentions. instead of forcing diversity people should be looking to reduce selection bias for everything except their merits.
the internal combustion engine has had a LOT of influence. the ICE's need for fuel has driven wars. the acquisition of the fuel has poisoned towns/villages, caused earthquakes, wiped out sea life in the gulf. the ICE's burning of fuel is melting the polar ice caps, altered the weather, made the sea more acidic and despite knowing that, it still threatens the future of the human race.
is "innovation" the new codeword for copying Google's self-driving car? or perhaps does it mean churning out yet another iteration of the same product every 18 months?
If course they would say that. Their primary concern is informing and sustaining the government. The rest of us are just interchangeable, disposable meatsacks.
a proper title would be "UAE Investigating The Possibility Of Constructing An Artificial Mountain" because they will likely find out it's far more costly than they expected.
Starbucks on the other hand beat both their profits combined with billions in profit last year. I certainly helps that many people are addicted to caffeine.
shouldn't every company that gives out private authentication tokens for developer to use should be monitoring sites like github and revoking any tokens found? when you sign up to get an authentication token it says you have to keep it secret or it will be revoked, so why aren't more people doing this?
Why do companies put their most secret and important intellectual property (IP) on servers connected to the Internet?
Willful ignorance and/or hubris.
What they should do is put phony, but looking somewhat reasonable, IP on their "secure" servers. The IP thieves should have some significant difficulty getting at it to make them feel like it's the real stuff.
This is called a honeypot.
When they spend millions or billions building a factory to duplicate the stuff and then find out it was bogus, so much the better.
The Chinese aren't stupid, they would investigate the material and determine it's validity.
Maybe the thieves will stop stealing and spend their money and time on innovation.
Or maybe we could stop hoarding knowledge and further all of humanity at once instead of acting like selfish petulant children.
when are corporations (individuals) going to stop hiding behind laws--in the hopes that they will save them
Just as soon as they holding executives liable for their negligence (corporate responsibility) or after it starts putting companies out of business (survival of the fittest).
The only place where I feel it falls somewhat short is in systemd-networkd which currently lacks good support for policy routing.
no, that's the only place that you have seen it fall short, there is a difference. i'd go on to list all the ways it falls short but it would only fall on deaf ears.
"An agency of limited jurisdiction has to act properly within that jurisdiction," Powell said,... "Every problem does not empower an FCC-directed solution. The agency is not an agency with unbridled plenary power to roam around markets and decide to go fix inconveniences everywhere they find them irrespective of the bounds of their authority."
He's not wrong, not every problem does empower an FCC directed solution. It's just too bad for him that this problem does empower a FCC directed solution. Do you think he swims in all the money they are giving him like Scrooge McDuck?

seriously, when there is an alien about to burst out of you, do you really want to wait to get to a human surgeon?

ah hell, i would have paid him $20K if he actually had. *sigh*

We are going to give you things you can't live without that you just don't know you need today
I can't wait to buy your competitor's version for half the price!
the word on the streets is that they integrated the iWatch functionality into the next iPhone. this way you can see what time it is without an iWatch!
If course they would say that. Their primary concern is informing and sustaining the government. The rest of us are just interchangeable, disposable meatsacks.
what jerks! i identify as a sack of mostly water.
i'm looking forward to cheap epaper for stuff because the current e-ink clowns refuse to work with anyone that isn't a multibillion dollar company.

making it easier to pollute the environment is not helping people, it's enabling an already damaging technology.
it's become one big blob known only as systemd. ;)
that's quite the verbose way of admitting you were wrong.
I can't even tell if my friend will like a book that I read for a certainty. Why would you think you could do so using statistics?
seriously, please reject all stories with links to forbes from now on.
Meaning, the moment to interact with your entangled electron or photon, it would 'set' its state, but in a random way.
didn't we overcome the uncertainty principle when making quantum computers?

Tom Wheeler - former cable lobbyist turned FCC Chairman
Michael Powell - former FCC Chairman turned cable lobbyist
Does anyone else feel like maybe we should try swapping our politicians with our lobbyists for a month just to see if it works elsewhere too? ;)
Is it that difficult to make a low-power 80x86 ISA chip to compete with ARM manufacturers?
actually, Atom was sufficiently low-power to compete with ARM phones. the real problem is they were many times more expensive and took more power.
