The Koch brothers will buy up the battery manufacturers and drive up prices.
Automation has hit the agriculture industry. Unmanned machines can pick, wash, select, package different foods from vegetables to many fruits. And with drip irrigation (thank you Israel), California farmers will prosper.
So, many many fewer H1B visitors for agriculture. What is left? Manufacturing? The Corps have shipped the jobs off shore. Software engineering -- Offshore education and skills are at a higher level than what we find in North America.

So what is and not obscure? ADA? It is used in all the latest Boeing airliners but not used a lot outside of the aerospace community. What about Lisp? Or Haskell? What about Comal, Action! and Promal? Now those are obscure. Pascal,Modual, Oberon? Or the RPG family? REXX? Some are truly obscure or just not used anymore and some are very common in a specific domain. For instance I have never needed to use Lua but I know it is used in a lot of places.
I love APL I could beat the best of the best who choose other languages by 20 to 1 in delivery days.
I guess if I were to get overnight wealthy, it would have to be the lottery, Powerball or something.
What would I do?
Well, I'd leave work so fast the door wouldn't come within a mile of my ass hitting it on the way out. While I *might* stay long enough to be a nice guy, maybe give the passwords to someone, I'm outta there.
People that say they'd keep working, not me. I don't understand that, I have PLENTY of things I like to do that can keep my occupied for the rest of my life.
I"d likely but a nicer house here in New Orleans...one in maybe Denver, CO to go when too hot here, and maybe one in Key West or somewhere near a beach when I felt in that mood.
Married? Hell no....why get married when you can now be free to chase pussy 24/7...or if nothing else, do the sugardaddy.com thing...cute, good looking girls, and you get to upgrade models at will without having to risk losing half your shit you own.
But more seriously, the world is your oyster if you are that rich. Travel, see things..hell, you can see and do a lot without ever leaving the US.
I have plenty of friends around the US, so, I don't really need more. I'd take care of them and their families (the ones that are married)...and well, just have fun.
I have never understood the lottery winners who'd just keep working. I've got a ton of stuff I'd rather be doing at any point in the day.
Heck, on some long times in between contracts, one time was 7mos...I'd wake up about 8-9am, go walk the dog...maybe jump on my motorcycle and hit the gym daily for 1-2 hours. Home for lunch, then maybe back on the motorcycle (summer/early fall) and go check out a new art museum or something here in NOLA...and maybe catch a fest or meet friends of mine getting off work at a bar for a few about 4pm....come home...lather, rinse, repeat.
Personally I never got tired of that easy life..and hey, if I was rich and got bored, I could always travel somewhere and vacation from that!!!
Yep, I'm sorry, I dunno how someone could be rich and miserable.
If it is so bad, gimme the money and let me take a swing at that type of life. I assure you, I'll have no problems.
The first thing, would be to try to remain anonymous. I would clear my debts, I would then lock the wealth up for a month or two to allow me to decide what are my new priorities. a) My children's debts would be secretly paid off. b) A trust fund setup for my grandchildren c) A selling of the existing home and a move to a smaller bungalow. (lateral move) d) I would spend some of the wealth on some current technology, some comfortable clothing and a new car. e) I would return to University, to enjoy the pleasure of learning f) I would look at what part of it I could give to a registered charity
Easy way to win the Amazing Randi's million dollar challenge for supernatural powers. If you get sick when they turn the wi-fi on and feel better when they turn it off, you have the ability to detect 2.4GHz radiation with your body.
Its definitely possible to get sick from wifi. Want to know how???
Well, suppose the child's teeth braces are at the wavelength for perfect reception of 2.4Ghz. The child's braces act like an antenna, and there an be a voltage generated between two teeth by the metal bands. That voltage could cause some headaches.
And of course, my theory goes to pots if the child does not wear braces or metal frame glasses, also the frame capable of acting like an antenna.
A third possibilty is that the router is within 18 inches of her skull. So the next best thing to prove it is the router is for the child to put her head next to router and for the school to do a double blind test.
Finally something appropriate for the older crowd with poor vision. Add Keyboard & Mouse support and a stand and you are giving a PC a run for it's money when it comes to basic computer tasks for a home user, who have found tablets to be too small in the past.
I have a tablet from Samsung that was purchased for $200.00 It has a slot for extra memory, earphones, and an attachable keyboard (which was included). There is a micro-usb connector and I purchased an option to allow micro-usb to a usb-hub. Thus, I can use it for browsing the web, taking notes, recording conversations, and email). I have Dropbox on it, so that my notes are stored therein. When I get home, I pickup my notes using my desktop system.
Yes, in my life, Windows is history, something I used a few years ago.
You want to regulate pricing, so that you have a corrupt cartel which keeps competition limited and prices high?
Because that's what we had before Uber came around.
We don't need regulated pricing, we need competition. And that's what we have with Uber and Lyft (who compete against each other). What we need is a few more services like those, and then several apps which do for them what PadMapper does for the rental market, and aggregates them and lets you quickly find out which service will give you the best combination of fare price and convenience (e.g., a cheaper fare probably isn't worth it if you have to wait an hour to get picked up).
All this whining about surge pricing is silly. The pricing is not a surprise: Uber's app tells you before you ride how much it's going to cost. If the price is too high, don't buy it. Most of the time, Uber rides are far cheaper than regular cabs, and you get to ride in a much nicer vehicle. Without surge pricing, drivers wouldn't bother driving during certain times.
We think it is a good idea to regulate prices. Most taxi drivers either own their car, or rent them. In both cases, the province sets the rate, and calibrates the meters. Taxi drivers don't earn big money, and the rates are what is tolerable. Many many drivers begin their day at 5am, stop at 10am and sleep to 2pm, where again, they work until tired or later. Some drivers live from the stand at the supermarket, other from the airports. I haven't met a taxidriver that works 80 hrs per week to make 6 figures.
I used a wired connection. My phone company provides a device that streams tcp/ip wirelessly to a remote device and very much higher wifi speeds. From the end of that remote device, I put a wire/wireless router. My laptop is never more than 1 room away from that router.
His H1-B reforms wont fly. Corporate America has the most available grease for the most open palms.

Canada agreed to waste a tidy fortune on an F35 purchase. We could and should not have made any commitments. Just the tooling costs to support this plane, the runways, etc, are mind boggling. Was the F35 a make work project?
I'm a. Old fuddee dudie. Even though I have Chrome and other browsers, I always return to Firefox. With it I am more confident of my browsing privacy than with any other browser. Eventually, when your deepest secrets are on the web, will you say "I didn't know Chrome did that or the other browser leaked my info. Sure Ff is a little slower, but I believe my browsing history belongs to me and me one. Bye bye Chrome, Chromium and all the leaky rest.
You have NO IDEA how fortunate you are. Or how bad things can be.
During the Great Recession, some people were unemployed for THREE YEARS or more. The Obama Administration had to extend and re-extend unemployment benefits for people. Quite a few of them finally found jobs, but at substantially less pay. So you'd better hope that you really can live for 10 years without a paycheck. And that that "10 years" isn't coming from your retirement savings.
It's not enough to have a really good skill set or be willing to move about the country like a migrant farm worker. Sometimes you don't know the right people in the right places, have the "perfect" match of skills or cannot manage to live on 120,000 Rupees a year.
Or worse. you could be over 40.
Inflation will take your 10 years, and chop it down to one year and a half. And from the stress, medical bills will take over and consume the residual.
There are a lot of tools you can use to help with capacity, be it VM farms, SANs/NASes, cloud providers, chassis/blades. Only a few points of advice:
1: Everyone will sell their product as the silver hammer, where each target is a nail. The VNX guys will sell their SAN as a be all and end all, even if you just use CIFS/SMB. The security vendor will be selling you exotic appliances for encryption for your tape silos. The PC guy will be selling you tons of 1U racks and try to convince you that the onboard drive array is better than a SAN if they don't have a SAN product, otherwise, how slick their HBAs work when used with their SAN.
2: Don't forget security. It may be cheaper to have one VM cluster for everything, but it be wiser to keep one client's hyper-sensitive stuff on one VMWare datacenter [1], while the other client who is running some backend stuff for an app would be in a different container.
3: Before committing to purchase something, grab manuals and documentation, and read on the device. You might find it doesn't do what you want. Don't forget to take into account type of I/O and other items. I have had to deal with a terabyte/hour of random writes, and the only solution for that was going with either a caching HBA that had that much SSD so it would turn the random writes into an easy to digest sequential stream for the SAN, or go pure SSD. Sequential I/O is a lot easier and a lot cheaper to deal with than random I/O. Similar with I/O that is often cached versus I/O that never is reused.
[1]: A datacenter is a VMWare object type. Can't vMotion across it, and is intended to provide distinct separation between items.
Why not do a calibration between Sales, Inventory, Purchasing, Logistics as x= a*s+b*i+c*p+d* vs No CPUs + No Network + No Transactions + support staff + some critical resource at a known level of x. Do not assume linear growth, but some growth that is proportional to x**3 or x**5 where x = the
+ a+b+c+d=100% and all a,b,c,d >0
Typically you will have to include some measures such as a max of 1 second response time (or 0.1 seconds response time). Don't try to go cutting hairs in 4 endwise.
What does that have to do with anything? It's still shooting at something that's not causing any problems in spite of speculation. I don't go around smacking cell phones out of peoples hands because I think they're taking pictures of me. It's about the same thing.
Why is this a big-deal? The homeowner got frightened or he thought he could finally safely use his gun that he bought to bring down a drone. He knew full well it was a drone, and rather than shoot a bird, shot the drone.
The drone owner comprimised his drone by having it hover too low over some homes.
Blame -- 50 % for stupidity, 50% for not considering stupid rednecks.
How much of this problem is due to old assumptions about running on real hardware? That is to say the entropy pool is fed from lots of sources most of them system devices. Is this just an unintended consequence of running on cut down virtual hardware platforms?
The researchers specifically addressed virtualization in the talk, providing different measurements of entropy available on real vs virtual machines. Real machines generate roughly twice as much entropy per unit of time, but both generate 2-3 orders of magnitude less than systems consume. However, as I noted in my other lengthy post, it's not clear that this really matters.
How significant are these corner cases? It seems to me that the problem is critical only after a reboot. The warning is for some software that starts on reboot and that requires some random bytes. Can that software be made to wait two or three minutes to allow entropy to build up? (Systemd allows deferring the autostart of a program by some amount of time after a reboot. SystemD can be used as well in the Virtual system that is restarted at reboot time).
All I understand from the notice is that programmers should know about this corner case. The LInux man page states..."/dev/urandom should be used for everything except long-lived GPG/SSL/SSH keys." Nothing wrong with adding to the man page about Blackhat unproven statements.
Honestly, if the point is to somewhat replace walking then this isn't that bad of a range. Convert to miles and round-down, that's a range of about three and a half miles one-way. I live in fairly low-density suburbia and within that range are dozens of strip-malls and corner commercial properties, several doctors' and dentists' offices, probably a dozen grocery stores ranging from Whole Foods at the high-end to a low-end Food City at the bottom end, plus movie theatres, restaurants of all varieties, and the primary and secondary schools for which my home is districted. I may not use one as my commute is farther than this thing's range and I tend to do a lot of my shopping on my way home, but for someone living in the neighborhood that isn't going very far and doesn't need to take a whole lot with them something like this might actually work, especially if parking is routinely a headache at the destination.
What I didn't see in the video was how stepping on to it starts it moving. They cut right as he starts to step-on at the beginning. That initial kick from being still to moving is probably one of the riskier parts of using this, I want to see how someone older or someone a little less sure-footed handles it. I also want to see more varied terrain, like transitioning between sidewalks and crosswalks down sloped curbs and over those bump patterns for the blind.
Wouldn't a bicycle do as well? Why not a three-wheeler (tricycle), if you don't know how to balance. And guess what, no batteries, and I bet the bike can climb hills. Can the Japanese toy do hills?
I have problems with American English leaving out words in sentences.
Example, There is a new cpu and interface being introduced. "This is great!" What is the word that belongs between "This" and "is great!"
Americans say, "There are three cards to choose from". Britishers and good writers say "There are three cards from which to choose. Or Choose from the three cards.
There are a lot more examples that I can find to illustrate my point.
I agree. When monitors are 40 or 50 inch, then 4K will make sense for gaming. I just don't see it now. You need a lot of screen real estate to take advantage of that many pixels.
If that were true, then there would be no need for Anti Aliasing...
Since there is, then your point is simply incorrect...
Until there is no need for AA, then the resolution isn't high enough.
Perhaps all that 4k rendering should be in the monitor. Just send the video image deltas and step out of the way.
I've been using it for about 2 months. Now that version 1 is out, I will upgrade. I do prefer it to adbloc. It will require some manual settings that you must make to benefit from it. For example, when you visit a page, or a site, it will tell you about the trackers and provide you the option to disable the ones that you deem harmful to your system or to your privacy. By the way, once setup, for a site, it remains that way, until the trackers arrive with new names. That has not happened to me yet.

I second your experience. Its a great tool
I've been using it for about 2 months. Now that version 1 is out, I will upgrade. I do prefer it to adbloc. It will require some manual settings that you must make to benefit from it. For example, when you visit a page, or a site, it will tell you about the trackers and provide you the option to disable the ones that you deem harmful to your system or to your privacy. By the way, once setup, for a site, it remains that way, until the trackers arrive with new names. That has not happened to me yet.
and maybe in the process, fuck themselves. Gee, fuck is such a gentle word. Is there not a stronger one?
