According to TFA they could hook this up to anybody. It was just that epilepsy patients were having invasive surgery done anyway.
"If a rodent struggles longer before giving up, it's considered less depressed."
Pretty sure that was my last boss's management style as well.
"Jim, how's your team doing?"
"Great!"
Its been raised as an issue with radar trackers where the radar and the tracker have their own time sources and they slew at different rates. The tracker gets upset and drops tracks where the timestamp from the radar seems to jump by a second.
Its about 1 billion times better than minified js.
I'm not entirely sure any of the stated goals *requires* broadband.
One can easily job-hunt on the web at 1meg.
The fact is that if they were aggressively and rigorously prosecuted, this wouldn't be an attractive business. As it is, they're assuming that they'll get away with it.
Personally, I invite anyone looking for a vigilante-cause to hunt down and kill some people, this would be a great subject. It doesn't have to be the LAW that punished these guys, to de-incentivize the whole industry.
I mean hell, by RIAA-caliber math, aside from their actual fraudulent scams, 86 million scam calls x 12 months x say 3 minutes per call average (to count the time it takes to get up out of my chair) = nearly 6000 person-years consumed annually just in time wasted. Assuming a median income of 26k per capita, this is nearly $160 million annually wasted.
The question posed by the OP presupposes that nuclear weapons might otherwise be 'going away' which is such an intrinsically naive and unrealistic proposition that I immediately comprehend whatever subsequently comes from the author's mouth as laughably insane and worthly of little regard.
Which, in a rational person would make them circumspect of categorical assertions, particularly if whatever crap they're promulgating impacts HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of people.
Yet government will cheerfully spit out new 'recommendations' (likely as not born of lobbyist funds as even best-intentioned policy), without much regard for the unintended consequences.
"You started at $40,000 if you had a degree in anything business. medical, or science related back then."
Simply, bullshit.
I graduated from high school in 1986, college (u of mn) in 1990 with a degree in international relations, with minors in German, geography, and European area studies, all of which at the time were considered desirable (if non specific) subjects. Minimum wage at the time was, iirc $4.25/hr. I started my first career level job in international business (specifically logistics) at $20k. I was delighted to make more than my age around age 27-28?
To suggest that $40k jobs were falling like manna is just complete nonsense.
Still, if it was something codeable by a student then, the idea that the replacement system would take $2 million is ludicrous. \
Have a competition for coding, award a $100k prize for the best system code, and implement that (plus give the winner a job for life).
And how are you going to "send them a message" when all you have is their phone number?
You know that normal phones don't handle texts, right? So what then, write them a letter?
The idea that voicemail is dead is asinine.
I only have your phone number, and you don't answer (yes, I'm over 25, I actually call people on the phone), now what?
Dumb fucking emo hipsters, the rest of the world doesn't live on Instagram.
Real Programmers don't eat quiche. They eat Twinkies and Szechwan food.
