Are you trying to get them fired?
Look, stop thinking about the use case and calculate the damn heat transfer from junction to ambient using the list of 144 different heat sink topologies listed, and then get back to rerouting this PCB with these arbitrary changes that somebody more senior already decided on.
I mean, normally I'd agree with you. But this is slashdot. I've seen what these clowns think are critical to a problem. These are the same people who believe that explosions don't make a sound in space, because there are no gasses to transmit it, and refuse absolutely to look up the definition of the word "explosion" to find out if that idea even makes sense. Like, they don't know what an explosion is, or if it releases gas, and yet they blather on about there being no gas. I tend to think that if I went to space, I'd be able to smell the brain farts emanating from slashdot. I'd certainly be able to hear all the head assplosions.
Not even 50% of the slashdot readers with a science degree realize they have a liberal arts degree! They can't even comprehend that a degree from a trade school is worth less, entirely because it isn't a liberal arts degree! They can't even understand that the phrases "art degree" and "liberal arts degree" are different. They just think that the word "liberaal" is stuck on the front to warn you that it is unwholesome.
My interpretation is that since the banks said "No," this is Facebook investors recognizing that the company almost shot themselves in the foot again, but were saved by the banks.
Not only does US Bank have customer service, but I get excellent service at the branch, I can also do most of those things through the website, and there is also a phone number that I can call for service.
The banks listed have a wide range of customer satisfaction levels, including the best and worst. Interestingly, they all said "No" to this idea.
For business users, they bought of the biggest US payment processors, after that payment processor bought out one of the big CC terminal manufacturers, so you can get merchant accounts totally in-house, even the hardware. Huge advantage from a customer service perspective; even when the bank has to hand you off to the subsidiary, that subsidiary knows they're supposed to make you happy.
Feature thrash does not solve security problems. If you can't get updates that are separate from new features, you can't trust them to reduce the attack surface.
I say, stop trying to memorize so many manual pages and just read them, and try to remember where they're stored and how to look things up in it later.
There are details for real reasons.
And the modern hypercard, isn't that the same as an html editor built into a web browser? Isn't this long-solved?
It is a moot case, the "most" they would do is point that out when declining to take it up.
There are only two possible results; The Supreme Court says no with a reason, or they say no without a reason.
It doesn't matter if it would bring clarity to the world to issue a ruling. That isn't how the SCOTUS rolls. The absurdity of this just shows that President Trump has the lawyers completely browbeaten to the point that they'll do crass and unprofessional things with no chance of success, in order to keep their current jobs. Don't be surprised if a few government lawyers are kicked off the SCOTUS bar by the end of his term.
It reminds me of the big kerfuffle when they decided to require that military officers get a liberal arts education; one of the big complaints was that learning algebra was obviously of no utility to officers because they aren't the ones aiming the artillery. Another was that it was stupid to make them learn history, because why should they need to learn about epaulets on ancient uniforms? As if that is history!
In fact, the song "I am the Very Model of a Modern Major-General" from the Pirates of Penzance is intending to be ageist, as it might seem without understanding of the politics, but instead was intending to ridicule their image of an educated officer!
You don't need to "pull in all of ICU," or even download it. That's just daft. I understand you aren't interested in the details of what I was saying, you just wanted to regurgitate information about what choices you made and what related crumbs of knowledge you have, but still; no need to make up fake reasons why didn't use something you probably didn't even evaluate.
You seem to have some vague concept that there might be bugs in implementations that are decades old and very very stable. Odd, that.
...capital is depreciated over the usable life of the investment. Wheeling out a ton of cash now in the build up for something in the future would be a footnote on current earnings.
In a world where cash is not king, it might even be true. *rofl*
Here's your dunce hat for not realizing that linking computer code is 100% detail-oriented and pedantic. If you thought it is OK to be sloppy in this problem domain, guess what? It means you have no way of even knowing if it bit you.

Oh, and grandpa, you don't need a CLI. That's just a higher performance tool that experts choose. An idiot beginner would use a GUI tool.
In other news, Duralast sells tools with the same warranty as Snap-On, and a much lower price. And yet.
I remember about 20 years ago somebody pointing out that many Craftsman brand tools had the same warranty, and if you're not a business customer it was easier to replace because you just go to any Sears store.
I can trade in a Duralast at Autozone for a new one. No hassles. But I do have to trade them in for new ones.
If GM had enough of a future vision back then, they would own the lithium battery technology now, not Panasonic.
Highly unlikely.
Consumers of yesteryear thought that the big battery companies were Duracell and Energizer, but by the 1980s it was already mostly Panasonic doing the R&D and licensing it to the companies specializing in the consumer marketing. That's why the name brand batteries all had exactly the same performance, with the same improvements from one year to the next.
GM is way too big a company to shoulder into that specialized a non-core R&D area without spending a bazillion dollars; if they hadn't had all their other drama over the past couple decades, it would have still required them to bet the company on it. A smaller company could easily do it.
It isn't like Panasonic is getting the business because they got lucky with a Tesla contract. If you buy a battery, Panasonic got paid.
If you can understand the story, losses were high on purpose, because of capital investment, and now capital investment will be slower and production will result in profits. Production done using the equipment represented by said capital investments. Simple.
North Korea is a Confucian dictatorship with Communist window dressing.
South Korea is a more traditional Confucian meritocratic republic.
The difference is, in one the government tells you what has Merit, because they're in power so they obviously had more merit, and in the other they're competing to be seen as meritorious through the traditional methods of economic success, institutions, and elections.
How is a government worker supposed to keep track of where a meritorious worker shops without a helpful shopping app that connects to a Walled Garden of Great Merit?
This is the Age of the Zombie, isn't this the most likely outcome? So far, I'm just glad it is turning out better than Snow Crash.
What would happen to your idiot hypothesis if people in liberal places that are not California also had the "Don't Californicate" stickers?
What if it isn't even California's liberals that move to your conservative wasteland? What if those are the California conservatives? Oh, right, right, RINOs are just liberaaals.
Turn off the computer, you're missing an important call on AM radio.
You're not even going to hire a dishwasher at minimum wage, because they would have a 3 hour commute. That's not enough pay to even live at the end of the BART line, they'd have to commute from farther east just to get to the BART station. And they can get about the same wage jobs in Oakland or Berkeley.
The economics of that are not actually a problem because of the high price of meals in SF, but restaurant owners tend to be Republicans who are allergic to paying over minimum wage, so they'll suffer a perpetual management nightmare with staffing problems and unhappy customers rather than pay what the market requires.
In the end, that's why there is so much more good food than in most cities, even while table service is below average. I'll leave the missing piece of that analysis as an exercise for the reader.
Even if it was constitutionally valid, it would be trivially easy to get around, as it only affects construction, but there is no rule that you have to keep using every room the same way in the future. As long as you don't have to remove structural supports, this is just a matter of labeling at the design phase.

This story is about something they did last year, not something that happened after the media interest started.

Along with that ditch your bank accounts and credit cards from any major bank.
Well, no, to ditch bank accounts you need to have a cabin in the woods, a subsistence garden, and a manifesto. Shelter, food, entertainment.
My interpretation is that since the banks said "No," this is Facebook investors recognizing that the company almost shot themselves in the foot again, but were saved by the banks.

You still didn't say anything, even though you managed to use some words. I hope you didn't pay much for them.
