Small businesses always have a high failure rate, even in a boom. Often it is the same evaluation; they take loans that mean if they fall below some profit projection, they go out of business. But if they grow as well as they imagine, then they grow faster, quicker. If you don't "leverage" (read: borrow) then you're seen as some sort of bumpkin. And it is true, you'll only grow slowly without taking on debt. But you also aren't at inflated risk of going out of business. If you're in the black you can just shrink and survive in most situations where your projections or growth attempts don't work out.
You need to put some basic technical information about what is affected in the summary. If you don't give that, it is just click-baity.
Specifically, this affects Android versions "2.2, 4.0, 5.0 and 5.1. Other versions are not affected."
If you use nerds for editors, that can help make sure that you include the right information in the summary so that users can evaluate if they want to click on the link, or not. We don't just click all the links because they were posted.
As somebody who was there, I have to say no to that. Everybody knew there was a bubble, and the VC argument wasn't that there was no bubble; it was that some people were going to keep getting very rich before it burst, and since nobody knew when it would burst and how many companies would survive, it didn't actually matter until it happened. And they were right on all those points.
Like the recruiter on the radio, back in `99 said: there is a big worker shortage because of the bubble, and that doesn't mean that if you have a murder conviction you can find office work. That would still be hard. But if it was only manslaughter, lets talk.
The stark contrast between typical American tech jobs and what the startup netslaves put themselves through is hilarious. And when their gamble doesn't turn them into a millionaire, they're ready to blame the whole country.
A new business that isn't a startup is the same as a traditional business; they don't want to pay overtime, and they don't want to get sued for back overtime later if they abuse an employee by not paying overtime just because they're on a salary. By law that salary is only for regular time, and an office worker isn't like a doctor or lawyer where it just might take more hours to finish the work; the company could let them go how after 8 hours, they're fully in charge of the schedule. Unlike a doctor's office, which might simply still have unseen patients.
My advice, if they try to work over 40 hours without extra pay, fire them for it. They are clearly poor at analysis, you can't trust them to do the right thing, their performance is guaranteed to be lower than it would be on a healthy schedule, and they might even sue you for it.
I think it is funny people automatically assume that it takes a "bubble" to cause this.
Venture Capital management strategy is to run each startup so that it has a less than 1 in 10 chance of surviving. They usually target 1/14th or so. They want to maximize the size of the ones that succeed, not the percentage that succeed.
People go to work for a startup but don't know that, they should learn about who they work for before taking a job IMO. They just figure they're special and the world should be fair to them, even if fairness would call on them to understand their own part in it.
There is no bubble, because there isn't extra money getting invested. Duh. And most startups are supposed to fail. It is the system. What a dumb story. Also true: if you work experience is just at failed startups, you get harder to hire because those companies are seen in the market as having different culture than the more traditional businesses that care about surviving. And most tech jobs are in other places, not just in one small part of California. For people with non-startup skills, there is even still usually a worker shortage.
Stopped reading at the 5th word, that's how awesome a communicator you are. LOL
"You disagree with me, you're a bleepity bleep!" Sorry, no, that is not a discussion. If it was face to face I might be willing to continue, but on the internet? Get a clue.
From my perspective as somebody not usually using anti-virus they seem like very different products, and I wouldn't want them merged.
And when I'm using a virus-scanner professionally, I don't want one that does extra stuff and has extra data to download.
Also, the virus scanner I would use changes over time. In the 90s, I would just use the McAfee free FTP server (password: ftp123, discontinued many years ago). Then for awhile Norton was the only one that worked well. These days I use AVG. I don't want them to bundle anything else at all because then users are locked in by non-core features and getting them to switch when appropriate is that much harder.
Probably 20% of the windows maintenance I've been forced into in my life ended up involving the "Symantec Software Removal Tool" or whatever it is called. My goodness, software sucks bad, don't ask for bundling.
The only argument you could make would be that the price the government paid was below market value. If that was true, those ranchers could sue for the difference. They don't file that suit, because it isn't true, and there is no Constitutional problem at all.
These are not lands that were recently taken, either, BTW. Or even lands that were ever taken. Most of Oregon is public land, and most of it was Federal land before Oregon became a State. These wannabe cowpokes don't even know the history of the land they want to steal.
These lands are heavily used. For example the ranchers who started the arson fire caused people recreating on that land to have to flee for their lives. These idiots live next door and just see a bunch of trees and hippies, no people. Right?
These companies forget why google exists, why they are successful. In the 90s, there were 2 choices; use an add aggregator and get lots of malware, or manage all the ads in-house and lose money because it isn't your core competency and is hard. Google was the one that didn't shop the ads out to fourth parties, they didn't let advertisers choose the HTML code. That meant no malware.
Users who don't have their own protection will rightly blame the website who exposed them. The scammers basically "are" the NY Times. It is like signing an "online power of attorney" when you let external ad networks choose what HTML you'll serve from your site. They won't ask for that ability in the first place because they have good intentions. If they had good intentions, they'd just want to provide their media, instead of code.
Not only are they responsible for what they serve, they explicitly chose to give these people the power to do this.
And nothing is AI, not even AI, if you're going to get hung up on definitions. That is why "AI" is a general term that doesn't have technical meaning. It just means all the classes of computer automation with multiple behaviors.
Offering good advice isn't hard, it is horseshit. Good advice won't beat the market. The only good advice that won't underperform the market is to use an index.
If you have enough money to buy property outright, then that adds another way to invest. There are other options too, if you have a lot of money. If you only have a little bit, advice just means you lose money compared to an index. And if you have these low amounts to invest you can't differentiate or anything, so again, you end up with an index because that is pre-diversified for you.
You're right, this will save 200 humans the indignity of having to answer prank calls all day for a living.
If you're out of work and starving, I don't calling an investment hotline is really a good use of time. Maybe digging up earthworms to eat is a better plan.
His hat is just there to make you think he is important. It is a silly hat because anybody who looks it up knows that his advice will under-perform an index fund, which is the simplest easiest way to get into the market.
The robots can be programmed to give different advise to different people if that is actually useful, just like the humans can be told what advise to give out. In fact, if the humans are giving everybody different advise, that just guarantees that everybody is performing that far under the market. And in that environment, check the fees and commissions; the more highly personalized small investments are, the more you're being shafted. Include all the fees before calculating profit; you'll be way behind an index fund.
Pros generally do not beat the market. There is good advise to be had for small investors, but it is exactly the same for all of them; use an index, meet the market in the middle. Otherwise you are the little fish, and the system is designed for that.
I'm surprised somebody with such a low userid would use the word "realize" and then follow it with a bare conclusion, rather than an idea that leads somewhere.
And if they had blind allegiance to profit, it seems they would want to continue forcing the banks to use humans. Why does allowing them to give out less financial advice serve the interests of blind allegiance to profit?
Also, if just not getting personalized financial advice stands in for society's downfall, it seems you're the one with excessive allegiance to profit, did you consider that?
That's just hand-waving and assertion, because it seems even more likely that that is why it is working well as it is. You state conclusion, based only on what I said, but your conclusion doesn't follow from what I said. You are missing all the stuff in the middle, where the ideas are.
Until Einstein, nobody was even sure if Maxwell's Equations worked. Everybody was ready to blame him for the problems, to save Newton's F=MA. It seemed obvious to many people that Newton's math had already been well verified.
Of course, at the scale I work in it is all Newton and Maxwell.
That said, no, Maxwell's Equations are most useful for what I do but quantum electrodynamics can independently describe all the same things, and it gives the how. It just takes all year to do the math that way.
Physics isn't like engineering, where the knowledge grows and grows endlessly. The new simplifies the old. It doesn't boil back, it boils forwards. And Maxwell evaporates into Feynman. Sorry.
This is slashdot. I've been a consultant my entire professional career, like half the rest of the people.;)

As a fellow Oregonian, those Federal Lands are already shared lands. I have access to them, because they're Federally owned. The idea of taking those lands and giving them to "the county" to sell off to private parties, well guess what? I would no longer have access to those lands.
The only reason Oregonians didn't take up arms and join militias and go take back our shared lands, is that the FBI wanted to get them out their own (very slow) way.
We may be liberal, we may oppose many wars, but don't think Oregonians are unwilling to take up arms and defend the United States of America.
I just checked the political news, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if there is a Civil War II in my lifetime. We're here, we're ready, and we support the Constitution. The real one with words, not the imaginary one that says "no hippies, mmmmmkay"
In Perl it is often not a problem. In Ruby it is more of an issue, because Ruby just puts a thin wrapper on the C libraries.
If somebody is actually trying to scrape an IP out of a field, that would need to be fixed (by replacing it) but that is rarely done these days. If you're parsing ASCII logs like an old man, then the log parser would usually already have the needed support.
The types of things that have this problem are the steaming parts that need replacement anyways.

If a hermit wants to go dark, that is called "freedom." If he's also the unibomber, that just means police work is hard.
That's OK, they're paid really well because their job is dangerous, even if it doesn't make the top 10 in actual danger.
I'm confident that when this gets to the Supreme Court, they'll remind the FBI that their job is to enforce the law, not prevent crime.

They still are. Most companies, including most newly formed corporations, are not venture-funded "startups."

Horseshit. You made that up from whole cloth.
Find a Constitution, read the thing. It covers this.
Right, this isn't an anti-systemd website. Those are just jerks trolling.
More like, having a technical opinion on a technical website. If that requires "courage," that is absurd.
It does help the non-technical users to out themselves, though. ;)

LOL, no an index fund will beat any "investment advice" they could be giving out.
Investment isn't zero-sum, you don't have to "beat" anyone. Trying makes it likely though that you'll lose money.
The 1% are not using free investment hotlines for advice. That is actually kinda funny.
