Even if, medically and biologically, this diet is compatible with humans, do people really want to give up eating food for taste? The "spice of life" in a literal sense.
Doesn't Yahoo power the weather app, making that point meaningless?
Also, how does this make these companies "losers"? Competition is good for business, and the businesses that are in place and have current user bases will win out if they have better (or even on-par) products.
"Microsoft cannot provide those guarantees. Neither can any other company."
The most telling and most important line in the article. Recent days have made it abundantly clear that anyone under US jurisdiction is susceptible to scrutiny and surveillance.
The Wikipedia ideals of having open, unbiased, and free access to information and being able to freely collaborate and edit articles directly conflict. If editing is "free", so too is slander and misinformation.
Unfortunately, I have no good solution to this problem. But then again, neither does Wikipedia.
I wasn't aware people actually purchased Mac Pros with great regularity. I don't know of a single person who owns one. The lack of customization, absurd cost, and plethora of superior competitors seems to discourage most people from this particular market.
This always bothers me when I'm interviewing. I've gotten the "better suited candidate" as well as the "lack of experience" and "not right at this time" excuses. How does that help me in any way as a job seeker? I am, in some way, "not right" for the position. How? Too shy, or too forward? Too young or too old? Experienced in the wrong technologies, or not experienced enough in the right ones? Or both?
This just leads to depressing frustration. I want to improve and be the right candidate, but I don't know how and no one will help me figure out how.
Luckily, I have a job now. But God forbid when I have to start the interviewing process again.
Yes, the US gets away with human rights atrocities, and yes, Manning should not be tortured. However, one can't ignore the fact that he released US government secrets to a non-government entity. That is treason. Manning will receive some sort of punishment because he committed treason, and treason is breaking the law. It's fairly simple.
The reactions stop at 56 because Iron has the highest binding energy of any element, which the author doesn't mention. Even under the extreme conditions of stellar nuclear fusion, the binding energy cannot be overcome past this point.
However, this doesn't really explain the abundance of red paint. It explains the abundance of iron and lighter elements. The fact that Iron Oxide has a red color has nothing to do with the "physics of dying stars".
Typical overzealous and incorrect analysis. Facebook may have failed for the author, but Facebook is not a failure. Its user base, advertising base and page traffic paint quite the opposite picture.
Also, "people can message each other, post text updates and pictures". This is exactly what I use Facebook for, and it works pretty well for me. I get updates and pictures from my friends and family, and I have tuned it such that I can see more content from people with whom I don't interact on a regular basis. Sounds like a case of user error to me.
The example for transport encoding doesn't seem all the more simplified than things as they currently stand. Sure, the field names are a little shorter and easier to read, but there's still a lot of (necessary) complexity in that encoding.
The OSI model of the Internet is built around being extremely fault tolerant and extremely generalized, so that anyone can connect any device and expect a reasonable amount of functionality. Sure, protocols could be simplified or refactored so the topics are easier to approach, but I don't think the ideas presented in this post would bring about a large degree of simplicity.
Also, simplifying the protocols, even by a huge degree, would not substantially grow the proportion of the population that understands them. People work to understand the OSI model out of necessity, not convenience.
