Another necessary change is term limits for all of Congress, so that we can replace career politicians with civilian public servants, as it was meant to be.
She , like many other anti-suffragists, believed in an inextricable link between military service and voting; only a person able to sacrifice himself on the battlefield earned the right to vote."
Her and Robert Heinlein, although I'm not sure this is directly taken from the book.
Wages go to the economy of the state where the factory is located, and profits go to shareholders who may live around the world. How should I get through to them?
That's not enough to get the point across to them, that actual hardworking people who do the jobs on the factory floor, earning the wages, buying actual food and housing in their American home town are real Americans? I guess you could point to Detroit to show them to what happens when huge sections of an industry, foreign- or local-owned, pull out of an area.
If you're feeling lucky, you can try to make the point that W. Edwards Deming tried to get manufacturing and quality principles across to local corporations. If I recall correctly, it was after they wouldn't listen to him that he took his suggestions to Toyota, who directly started following his words and made them into who they are today -- by faithfully following American-sourced observational powers, analysis and ingenuity.
Deming wrote maybe two or three books that discuss these principles. I'd think reading through them would give you a solid foundation to argue that these Japanese auto manufacturing principles are actually a genuine, authentic American product, while American auto and other manufacturing has rejected or ignored them.
And when the time comes for Toyota, Honda, etc. to start cutting corners on those principles, their quality will probably start suffering too. But you can still argue that those principles are all-American (for what that's worth).
Unfortunately for them, the companies that do fab flash tend to have SSD interests of their own at this point.
This was a point I made on a previous story. I suspect that companies that fabricate flash that put out consumer SSDs have a very strong interest in not cutting corners on reliability.
Everyone in the political establishment believed the NSA version. Now the IRS says that they can't find emails because of a technical problem, and no one believes them.
Because the NSA watches over us to protect our freedoms, and they're the good guys. The IRS takes away our money, so they're the bad guys. See? Not that difficult to understand.
You want difficult? In the spirit of another recent story, see if you or your software can both convincingly imitate a pregnant scientist as well as get the dean to give you tenure.
This looks like a secondary effect coming from an order-of-magnitude increase in interpersonal communication speed. Where in the past you might have to call an in-person meeting or conference call with many people, an individual can now communicate in a richer, distributed, asynchronous way with anyone who's marginally interested in considering your message.
With the communication landscape changed and resource access barrier lower, unless an incumbent uses their greater political and financial resources to improve their leverage in the new communication landscape, that area will be a more level playing field, and if you don't accommodate for that, the odds significantly change.
It seems like established institutions and scenarios that have a large part of their foundation on communication -- e.g., publishers, politicians, market pricing -- are going to see a lot more of these sorts of never-before-in-history kinds of disruptions. Things that don't depend on human-speed communication so much, such as hard sciences, construction, farming, will see changes, but maybe not quite as rug-pulled-out-from-under-you disruptively.
Manager forwarded me an email asking to see how we could shrink binaries for release, more as a side project. I was sick at home and running a fever, and spent the day writing a script to strip binaries/libraries in various ways and produce a side-by-side report comparing the resultant ELF files section-by-section, listing the unstripped section size/item count, +/- delta, and stripped section size/item count.
When I get back in the office, my manager said he hadn't wanted me to spend so much effort on it. However, the script produced the needed reports. Six months later, and then again a couple years later, I reviewed the code. It has 4-5 level deep data structures, is structured and commented cleanly, and I can't make heads or tails of it. Still works fine, though.
Mushkin is a pretty reputable name, but if they ended up going with a less-reliable source, they could blame SSD failures on the flash manufacturer.
A large well-known flash manufacturer trying to point the finger for SSD failures would damage the reputation of their own flash memory and SSD divisions, so my assumption is that they wouldn't release a consumer product at all if it would put them in that position.
Can't be repaired, and when the DRM is literally printed right in to the device, will 'owning' your purchased product really mean anything in the future?
On the one hand, proprietary product designers will have their customers locked in like never before, and on the other, it seems like you'll have the option to create your own product to order exactly how you like it, especially if you can leverage an open design.
Doing this in your head the traditional way would be hard. You have to regrouping twice, and you have to remember that you borrowed 10 from the tens place when regrouping the hundreds place.

We can do that now, by voting, and in my awkwardly-worded opinion, improved communication among the masses is causing unprecedented changes along these lines.

Won't there still be a need for dealers, and aren't all the video's arguments still valid, for used cars?

Plus you have to repay a Stanford education's worth of student loans before you can start thinking about 'profit'.
Maybe this issue will figure into the upcoming movie.
Isn't the banana population under serious threat because of monoculture?
And that's not even considering the banana grabber.
NASA makes drinking water from piss up there. I wonder if it has repercussions for the taste buds.
I guess it provides some perspective on someone getting caught on surveillance taking a whiz in the office coffeepot.

Dogs and rats playing together! Gamification run rampant!
The government, and it's various tentacles, simply don't WANT it to stop. Even if diverse individuals composing said tentacles do.
Oooohhhh, now I understand what they mean when they say tentacle r--
I'm waiting for the police to begin wearing actual jackboots again!
In a sense they are though.
At this point, I won't be surprised when they get out the nail polish remover and the Kragl.
Maybe they could just get a donkey to Mars?
Who will invest in the Internet infrastructure that we badly need, indeed, and who will go out of their way to hinder its operation?

Toshiba also belongs to this club, but they only recently seem to be making SSDs available to the masses.
This is Europe and more importantly the Netherlands.
Ahh, that clears it up. I was starting to get a 'magical fairyland' vibe from this.
Sounds more like they're actively disincentivizing other motivated parties from solving these problems for their respective communities.
My opinion: Anything donated will be well spent, LeVar Burton is just that type of person, who you know you can depend on.
Word up.

Take a better example, like:
321
- 148.
Doing this in your head the traditional way would be hard. You have to regrouping twice, and you have to remember that you borrowed 10 from the tens place when regrouping the hundreds place.
I would have chosen a more entertaining example.
