Why is it that we cannot compete with foreign companies with native workers? Why should those countries be okay with losing their top talent?

Shoudnt we solve the problem of native workers not having the right skills before we open the borders to everyone else?

The other argument I understand is cultural. How much immigration can a society take before it is unrecognizable to the people that live there. You can't say that if you moved 100 million indians to the US ( A fairly small number of the population) it wouldn't look and feel completely different.

Succession is a weird concept with linux but the fact that it has always been more stable than the other OS' is I think the main reason it is been so successful in the internet age.

An example of a failed succession is Tim Cook; the guy is the complete opposite of Jobs. Just take a look at the apple website nowadays. A product guru would not sell three generations of iphones that are all cannibalizing each other and lack any real differences.

Im guessing these charges are designed to scare Manafort into giving up the bigger fish.

The interesting tech is not only AV but the infrastructure where cars communicate automatically about which lanes there in, what their intentions are etc.

The current use case I think is cool is a car comes up to a slow truck and the truck communicates to the car that the passing lane is clear.

I agree with most of the sentiment and I think they should just keep the nice UI but switch to a debian distro so that devs and some creatives could use all the linux software if they know how to install it. I would use the crap out of a google UI debian distro.

All this despite integrated graphics still sucking with all of its dedicated memory and such. Just look at a desktop GPU and then a processor and tell me you can cram all of that into one chip.

I like the idea of a single cable for everything but I cant afford to replace my monitors, keyboard, mouse, speakers etc. all at once.

Just because you cannot imagine what people might need to use a computer for does not give you the right to tell them how much performance they need.

Perhaps they are going to the arctic circle and have to rely on parts lying around if anything breaks!

Perhaps they work with cutting edge computer graphics and need a brand new GPU with a certain new feature or hardware chip to test out!

Perhaps they are simulating something gigantic and it is easier to test out parts of the code on a local machine with a PCIe add in card before pushing it to a supercomputer.

This is the definition of a PRO machine, people who have extraordinary requirements and need power and flexibility. Stop telling them they have "enough", you are not in the position to make that call.

I have been using mint 18 with cinnamon 3 and its a nice GUI and rock solid stable. It runs my dev env but also 24/7 servers and a few daemons. I just added some more ram for cheap (up to 24GB ) to run more docker containers.

Its hard to see how I could mirror this on OSX without spending a small fortune. I also own a macbook pro but due to donglegate its mostly for browsing the internet and light tasks (which i guess is what most apple products are designed for these days)

Say did you hear about the European successful Mars rover or maybe any interesting technological innovation coming out of Europe in the last 50 years?

But seriously the CT6 compares nicely to the top range 7 series and S class Mercs. It has a bit of flair but in America we see that as a good thing.

The CT6 is a beautiful car with nice materials and good build quality, you should take a look at it up close.

The query language side of things hasn't changed much but coming from automotive which is currently generating daily terabytes of long and flat data in the form of time series streams with very little relational characteristics nosql systems are very useful.

I think there is a tendency to go after old relational systems because of how they handled themselves with the data that was generated mostly by users. At this point my industry is dealing with data generated by machines and nature and thus the need for extremely scalable and distributed systems.

Whether these systems use sql i don't think is that important ( most of them will support sql or sql like )

They say you can change the theme but why not make the default grey or white instead of that awful indigo? And they do not allow a default theme from the admin section (that i could find).

Im also slightly concerned about the feature creep here, I love that they try out new devops and CI tools but I wish you could get just a stripped down interface and turn the features you want on and off. The UI is becoming cluttered and the RAM usage is climbing because of it - not everyone is running hot-rod servers and a huge dev team!

Besides that good work and thanks for having a community edition, it keeps small teams like mine alive!

Since the price of new iphones is obviously rising faster than inflation, it begs the question; where is the market willing to go?

Are most people okay with monthly payments on phones when they were never at that point with computers?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Group

In the entire group power train and vehicle development is budgeted at around 120 Billion a year, so this is just over half of that budget spread out over probably 5 years. These are not SV startups, they are enormous companies by revenue and investment (which is why they have low profits and aren't sexy to invest in )

Can you really put this in the same category as the right to pursue happiness or health? or the right to defend yourself?

Classifying everything as a right is super fun and feels important but it actually takes away from the actual human rights.

Health care is another example - do you have the right to an EKG machine? or a drug that was just invented using thousands of man hours of pharma research? Should those people work for free so that a poor persons rights are not violated?

But the touch bar is pretty pointless, I would rather have just paid less money or gotten better hardware.

Maybe if I use an app that uses it effectively my opinion will change.

I am genuinely curious...

I have a comp sci degree and worked in different industries relating to software and have never even seen or touched any IBM tech except for those old cash registers.

So she will be working on the project for 30 years; her entire career... something is pretty broken about the government structures around these projects.

This is hilarious - this is the firm that made tons of money off the VW case, now they are going after the money and cutting out the middleman (EPA)

It says something that MS chose Git over anything proprietary that they developed.

Traveling around a bit I've seen other cultures still require people to walk somewhat to get places and people will also just go on "walks" whereas Americans will go for a "drive"

Food culture is also responsible, just jamming food into your face as quickly as possible rather than enjoying a meal is for sure and American thing.

Add all this up and you get 60% obesity rates in adults and getting worse.
