These numbers are effectively arbitrary, especially without knowing about the demographics, skills, certifications, qualifications, etc., of the applicants.
Articles such as this suggest a lot of things in a very hypocritical manner, or are at least exceedingly one-sided in scope. The author is jumping to conclusions without having any data to back it up.
Nearly half of all lottery winners go bust within 5 years of receiving their winnings. They might be rich, but it is only in a very transient sense; it's not wealth.
You're basically inserting your "fairness" bullshit into an economic argument. It's sanctimonious, and reeks of someone who has no idea about economics, business, or capitalism.
What is fair? Who determines the price of a product or service? Who determines wages?
You can find many examples of extraordinarily wealthy entrepreneurs who began with little or nothing, worked diligently, saved money, and started their businesses leading to [eventual] success. The fact that you have not done so belies your entire, weak argument.
"Shouting fire in a crowded theater" is one of the most misunderstood legal precedents in modern social media.
This is not "an exception to free speech", because it is not an expression of one's opinion. Shouting fire... is a call to action, much the same as negotiating services with a drug dealer or prostitute. This is exemplified in the difference between dressing up as a policeman or military service member (i.e. Halloween) and using that uniform to fraudulently force others to do something -- produce documentation, provide a service, or anything else.
"Stolen Valor" was overturned a few years ago for this reason; this is why it was re-written to specify that only defrauding others would constitute a criminal act, but wearing the uniform falsely was not a crime in itself.
Lastly, this article mentions the UK, and not the US. The nuances in respective laws can make all the difference in the world.
And oh boy I like steam controller, and I am a PC gamer! No words can explain how sceptical I was at start.
Likewise. I really enjoy the steam controller for a variety of games. As an alternative, I run it through a Steam Link so as to play it on my den's TV. My entire playthrough of Fallout 4 was using this controller, along with a bunch of other recent games. Once you get used to it, it's quite nice to have the option of reprogramming everything precisely the way you want it.
I'm still mixed about the Steam Link, as it tends to eat into the performance of the linked PC, so you need a more robust machine to remotely play a graphically-demanding game, and you can't set the screen saver to not time out while viewing videos via the web browser (a la watching Netflix)...but for $50, I can't really say it was a bad purchase. That's less than an annual subscription for XBLG,which I would primarily use to watch Netflix or Amazon Prime anyway.
The other controller I would like to try is the XB1 Elite. From all accounts, they made a really solid, precise, customizeable controller which may actually be worth its asking price, if it has the durability it seems to have.
North Korean dominance over its people can't last forever. Sooner or later, they'll wake up to the fact that they're being subjugated, manipulated, and forced to live in poverty.
I hope more Notels get circulated. The more, the better.
At least one tester from the article has the right attitude:
And yet, Jason Buckman believes that Microsoft shouldn't be criticized for this new set of icons.
“I don't think they're bad at all. They're icons. Who cares?" he concludes.
Imagine an organization who has a whole department/section specializing in cyber security threats, vulnerabilities, and malicious entities -- SQL injections being among those known things against which it can defend. The organization mandates that ALL of its IT-related employees understand and take actions to prevent such attacks. If they do not comply, they will lose network access and/or have employment terminated.
Now imagine said organization does not uphold or enforce its own standards of security.
That's what I call "asking for it". They don't deserve to be broadly generalized as "victims"...but they do reap what they sow.

There may be physiological reasons for eAthletes (yeah I know that's lame, but I didn't make that up) to not be able to hang at top levels once they start to age. Slashdot shared an article in regard to that just a few months back. It's not 100% concrete, but I think we can safely make the case that the average gamer peaks in performance some time in their mid-twenties.
Online voting can be compromised from anywhere in the world. At least voting in person requires people at voting locations, thereby (plausibly) reducing the chance for wide-scale fraud. It's just not worth taking the chance. Open networks, no matter how secure they are designed, will always have vulnerabilities. Most of those vulnerabilities lie within the computer operators (PEBCAK, if you will).
Yes. In Children of Dune, Leto's stillsuit was sabotaged. They tampered with the pumps located in the heels, which would normally circulate water as the wearer walked through the desert.
Didn't Frank Herbert write of something similar to this in Dune? I recall small objects which collected water, but I don't recall whether they provided any sort of power generation in the process.
I suspect you don't have the military background I possess.
Firstly, the AH-64 and OH-58 are primarily Army platforms, who use almost entirely rotary-winged aircraft. The Apache is a wonderful system -- the most badass thing in the air. It has a huge armament of 4 winglet pods (16x hellfires, or 76x FFARs or a combination thereof, plus a 30mm chain gun). But it doesn't have the ceiling of the A-10, nor does it have the range. The Kiowa doesn't have anywhere near the armament of the Apache, being a smaller, lighter aircraft -- it can only maintain 1 small FFAR tube and a.50 cal, or a two of one and none of the other.
The AC-130 is a massive bird. Puff the Magic Dragon, we called it colloquially. Fantastic engineering. But it is HUGE! It is designed to linger over an area, like a village or town, and obliterate everything in the area. 105mm howitzer, 40mm and 20mm rotary cannons. This is used when you need to destroy an insane amount of bad guys and boost morale into infinity.
The MQ-9/Predator/Reaper is nice, but it doesn't have the same capabilities of any of the above craft. Safer in that you don't have pilots put into danger. But it has less armament capability than the A-10 or the AH-64, less agility than the OH-58, and nowhere near the firepower of the AC-130.
So no, there are not "lots of things that are far better at the A10s limited role". You are ignorant. Go back to your Call of Duty.
Nothing currently available has the capability to replace the A-10, making it the best tool for the job. So while it hasn't been replaced yet, it cannot be effectively replaced in the foreseeable future.

Why? Do more women and minorities want to work in tech, while simultaneously having the discipline and training to get there?

Indeed. A "Great Convention", if you will.
...a world without nuclear weapons...
You'd think these two heads of state, in particular, would already know that the things which come out of Pandora's Box can't just be wished away.
It could give a whole new meaning to "crash".

Except, the units would never arrive. Or if they did, they wouldn't be fully enabled.

Find a holder/holster which will strap around your upper or lower arm, outside of your clean suit. The sort that trendy people use while working out.
This will eliminate the need for extra, expensive tech, while also keeping it handy.

SQL injections. They deserved what they got.
I suppose Apple had to join in on the 2009 smartphone market at some point. 5+ years too late, better than never?

Semantics, I know.
