They must be using at least SOME of their best stuff to mess with one of the best equipped high tech armies on earth even if they are not be using their best stuff to its full capacity.
I'd agree neither side are likely to be going full capability, but that also means that the Russians aren't necessarily using any of their best stuff. ECW technologies dating back to WWII will compromise drone control and it'll be useful to Russia to find out how they respond to that type of attack.
The US forces need to be able to survive a complete breakdown in all of these networked systems and if there is one thing that recommends manned tanks/aircraft/choppers it's that a crew on board the vehicle driving/flying it manually can neither be jammed nor hacked.
Well, even that's not necessarily true. Given A10 pilots' tendency to shoot friendly forces even when not under electronic countermeasures I can only imagine how US forces will respond when they're receiving false and misleading signals from their equipment.
If you know anything at all about Britain then you'll know that disparaging the PM is a national pastime. Doesn't matter who the PM is either.
The current incumbent seems to be pretty fair and reasonable towards muslims. She doesn't seem to hold biases towards or against any particular group, she wants authoritarian control over everybody.
Yes, but was his readable, maintainable, bug free, extensible and serviceable?
I mean, at university I delivered a solution that did in seven seconds what most of the class' solutions were taking eight minutes to complete, but nobody taught me that, I just had fun optimising the fuck out of it. That doesn't mean it was good code.
I provided a working solution to the programming test of a job interview once with an algorithm that had a memory leak and shite performance. I also documented those, told them how to fix it and pointed out that the sample data set didn't suffer from those issues and it wasn't worth my time or theirs to optimise further.
They loved it. Real companies know that perfection costs too much and that execution speed is seldom the primary concern.
As an older person I'm very aware and also probably help perpetuate it.
Recruiting people with experience, the experience matters and not the degree. Recruiting someone without experience? We approach friendly universities and steal their top talent in that year's graduating class.
The answer is to either get a degree, or get experience outside of employment. There are countless stories of people creating or contributing to open source projects being headhunted, and that's got nothing to do with their education.
You may or may not have transgressed the law. You can't afford a lawyer and you're facing 14 charges with a combined 48 years in prison or a plea deal to do time served and a small fine.
You really think that should also include getting fucked over for the rest of your life?
Devil's advocate here: Shouldn't the West adopt this method?
No.
This can penalize unpopular behaviors as well
Thank you for highlight one reason why.
giving ardent 2A supporters the choice between having military weapons or being able to interact and have full access to society's benefits will definitely be useful
Only for people that don't believe in democracy.
They can either give up membership, or be part of society; not both.
If thoughtcrime becomes illegal you're the first cunt against the wall.
Everyone has a level playing field.
Oh sweet sweet summer child.
Overall, this might be viewed as a tool of a repressive government
..because it is.
realistically, this is a way to keep order
So is the gulag system. I don't support that either.
and is the best thing modern technology has for doing so
I reject your 'order' and will happily do so with extreme violence. Fuck you and your authoritarianism.
It's an interesting point. Societies work through public recognition and disapprobation. Look at the public (and online corporate platforms used for public engagement') response to unpopular views around things like immigration or how many genders there are. The marginalised views get silenced, irrespective of their validity.
At least Slashdot primarily moderates on the comment, not the individual.
The greatest thing Trump could do is declare all that debt null and void.
It would collapse the Chinese economy, sure, and probably result in them invading neighbours. Would work out nicely for the US though - not least because they'd have a trillion+ to invest in the arms industries to help those neighbours.
as far as I understand smugmug sells photos and clothing with the pictures
You misunderstand.
Users of Smugmug can choose to enable sale of photographs but it is the photographer's choice and not that of Smugmug. Smugmug make little if anything from those sales too, the fees go to the printers.
The professional grade accounts on Smugmug can choose the prices and receive the income too. They can also use more expensive print shops should they choose.
Given I've been a Smugmug customer for years because they provide a better service than Flickr (and others) if anything I'd expect the Flickr service to improve.
It may change prices, but Macaskill and his team put proper engineering, customer centricity and business nous into Smugmug and it would be a surprise if they abandon that with Flickr.
Them giving me a receipt has absolutely fuck all to do with whether I pick it up or take it with me.
Certainly after the coffee I had near Brussels on Tuesday nobody chased me back to my car (or indeed, into Holland) to complain that I'd left the combined bill/receipt on the table.
A few years ago Google publicly stated that the famous amount of effort they had been putting into their interview process was largely wasted; that they had still not figured out how one can predict success with a few hours of examination.
Is that what triggered their switch away from trying to hire the best people to implementing what appear to be very sexist racist policies?

Yeah, and his advice will be "you're fucked, take the plea deal".
I don't think conviction rates in the US are accidentally inversely correlated with wealth.
it's pretty rate that Amazon ships my stuff on the same day
It's pretty rare that Amazon deliver my stuff on the same day. Probably only one in ten orders.
Next day for half of the rest, and the day after for most of what's left.
gimmicks, like a streaming video service that is basically a pay per view service
Strange. I pay Amazon no money at all beyond Prime to view films on their streaming service. Maybe it's different in the US.
much of their content is offered at a flat rate on netflix, hbo, hulu, and others.
Others including Amazon Prime, which I already pay for, so I don't need to pay for the ones you've named.
Thing is, by having Prime I'm avoiding spending the same amount on Netflix.
It's basically free.
Where do you live? America?

You need exp and CS to do it right.
What you've described though has sweet fuck all to do with computer science. It's basic software engineering.
any two reasonable people faced with the same challenge, will create similar solutions
Will they fuck.
I learned how to program in my head by thinking about problems around the age of 6.
Sounds to me like you've never learned to program. You've learned to solve problems. They're very different skills.
You can get thrown out of a bar for wearing a MAGA hat
Bars are indoors. Hats should not be worn indoors. You should throw anybody out for being stupid enough to wear their hat indoors.
Take the fucking hat off or get the fuck out.
How the fuck did you associate the parent AC with the people he himself describes as SJW?
You're a bigger fuckwit than he is.

Woo, car can accelerate.
I want a car that can accelerate, turn corners and still drive me from Verdun to Nottingham via Givet and Ypres without needing hours charging.
Oh wait. That's the trip I just did. I guess I own one.
Perhaps I do fucking understand and you're the idiot that didn't read the part to which I was responding:
forced, by law, to have that receipt with me and they could ask me for it when I leave and am outside
Good fucking luck Belgian police trying that one on me.
Except durability. Mine has a four inch scratch in it where a cat merely stretched while waking up and caught it with a claw by accident.

None of my galleries have sales enabled.

I don't even fucking live in America. I just happen to travel and experience things.
You should give it a go, if you can pull your head out of your intestines.

Along with the money to pay it.

Hang on. I'm having dinner in Belgium on Wednesday and you're telling me it'll be illegal for me to leave the restaurant without the receipt?
What fucked up law is that?
