Some things never change...but need to be relearned since it happened before the "Interweb" was invented. Actuarial science was constantly being lauded as "the" or "one of the" "most valuable college majors" when I was in college in the early 1980s. Glad to see that some things haven't changed since then.
With all of the "yet another worthless Maker projects" all over the place, why not start something like OpenTractor? After all, do we really need another binary clock or overly-complex conference badge?
Seriously, though, I could not agree more with mschuyler. Who would ever think that these attention-mongering prima donnas would bitch and moan so much about doing their jobs? Someone needs to show them what it's really like to have a stressful job---especially jobs that are low-paying, yet require more skill than making a ton of irrelevant Youtube videos.. Better yet, show them what it's like to absolutely depend on the income from two crappy, unrewarding, and stressful jobs.
Nobody is forcing them to do this. It's all self-inflicted. If you cannot handle the stress, perhaps you should look into becoming a librarian?
Besides...I would not be surprised at all to learn of a version of the appendix to one of the apocryphal versions of the New Testament that states that prominent Youtube personalities signals the approach of the end times.
At least change his middle name. Apparently they "want to find out the full name of who is at fault". Is there a loophole in Russia that you can get off scot-free if someone doesn't know your full name? I thought they routinely sent out the goon squad with less information.
There's a time and place for everything. Like any other tool, it needs to be used properly. Just because something can be abused or misused is not a good reason to abandon it completely.
Windows is not being challenged by an OS. Until Microsoft completely messes things up most people (especially on the desktop or laptop) will continue to use Windows. When that happens I doubt that Chrome OS will fill in the gap as I suspect Google could screw things up just as well as Microsoft can---maybe even faster. The real question should be "Could Chrome OS ever dominate against the other OSs in a MS Windows vacuum?"
I have a X1Carbon, too. I was amazed to see how similar it is to my colleague's X1 Yoga. Aside from the hinge and screen selections, they are basically the same machine.
None of these nuclear power plants will float. They are just nuclear plants on a structure that has more buoyancy than the plant. This is little different than the nuclear power plants in larger, floating vessels, (e.g. large aircraft carriers). The biggest difference is the method of heat rejection.
Most antennas you can find in the local box stores are crap. They are certainly not worth the money if you have the know-how and resources to build them.
Exactly. It takes courage to do this. Definitely a step up from removing a measly headphone jack from a phone. Crippling a laptop with an inferior keyboard is definitely the way to go and we are fortunate the Apple geniuses are pushing this forward for the benefit of their customers.
When your so delusional you believe your own BS, how could you tell the difference between sabotage and incompetence? How soon we forget the suspicious "shadowy figure" on a rooftop, or, sabotage by the competition causing SpaceX explosion in Oct, 2016. Who's being blamed next? The ghost of Jimmy Hoffa because they installed the third assembly line over his unmarked grave?
Depending on how you define "sophisticated", Stuxnet may or may not be very sophisticated. For example, a sophisticated program may be one that needs no documentation to be easily understood. Similarly, highly obfuscated code (such as http://udel.edu/~mm/xmas/) may be considered quite sophisticated.
So, where does exploiting OS bugs and writing USB malware lie on the sophisticated spectrum?

How about a Leafly-branded SpaceX booster painted to look like a joint?
Perhaps there is hope for reviving "Boaty McBoatface".

This is a good start. Let's just hope that the robots that replace these workers are manufactured domestically.

Some of the X series (e.g. X1Carbons) are little different than the Yoga.
A laptop with a keyboard worse than the MacBook Pro.
Impressive.
Just install Windows or Linux.

It's much more fun to jump on the bandwagon then to heed reason and empirical observation.
I was in one of the last years my high school taught to use sliderules. Fancy ones already had trig scales. Didn't need the trig tables anymore.
I guess nobody saw the other post that mentioned this?

Apparently Bill Gates is an outlying point in their data:

The OP and article imply that this IS a problem.
It's not.
