Yes, it's propaganda, but it doesn't mean there isn't a grain of truth somewhere in there.

As a young French person who had the option to work in either France, or the United States, I can tell you that it's damn difficult for young people to find jobs in France (precisely because it's so expensive to hire workers, or even fire them). I can't tell you how humiliating it can be to look for a job in France for a young person. It's like they're doing you a favor (the risk is so high to them, so they might as well make you grovel for the opportunity).

So then, since there are so many jobless because of the high minimum wages (and other government programs), the government invents government internship programs to get around the minimum wage. So you end up getting paid less than the minimum wage, you still end up working for a private company, but this way the pay check comes from the government and the money you receive is called a stipend which is technically not a wage since you're in an internship (never mind that 40 years olds and 50 years olds can still be stuck in rotating internships all their lives of course).

What's a casual? In the US, we use that word for sex, as in "casual sex".

Do you have casual sex workers? Are those like Uber sex workers? Where they work a regular job full time at some company, but do sex work during their lunch break? or do sex work during smoke breaks to round out their income?

Are you sure? I thought this was a pretty lame attempt at getting traffic to hit dice.com (from a writer who's non-technical).

It's not like C# developers on Windows don't know which IDE to use already.

Limitation means the Air Force. "without limitation" means "without the Air Force".

Certainly, the Navy knows these things.

No, I don't think Apple can sue.

The iTunes app store terms and conditions only says:

No development, no design, no manufacture, no production.

But no where does it say "launching". Launching should be fine.

Let's go to the actual claim he made which was recorded by the tech media, long before he was arrested for his tweet.

He claims he was able to hack the simulator of a plane to access the thrust (not a real plane mind you, the simulator of a plane). Is the simulator as good and as realistic as he claims it to be? or not?

Since you seem to be an expert yourself on this subject, please tell us. Are the electronics of the simulator he used a good replica of the electronics found on an actual plane? Or did the guy just play Microsoft SimFlight and found a way to hack Windows XP?
 

I think you misunderstood what I said, and that we're in agreement on some level.

Assuming you're not working for BMW or Gucci, I believe that having no graphics at all can be much better than purchasing a bunch of royalty-free perfect-looking insincere photographs from some stock photography web site.

The same goes for special animations and perfect-looking videos. Barring a few exceptions, I don't believe those effects are necessary to make a web site useful and valuable to users.

And throwing out all those stock photographs and those unnecessary effects may actually improve the usability of a web site, not just for disabled people, but may be even for everyone (and at very little cost, since it's the effects that usually cost money, and it's the more basic web sites that usually cost less money).

Are those images you're tossing out stock photography images? Because believe me, those may look super cool and super useful to web site designers, but stock photos are not only bland and cliche, they actually look super insincere to the user who is inundated by them on every company web site.

Except for the newly-introduced Firefox DRM from Adobe that is.

Don't you love the new double-speak.

That's not the point I was making.

All it takes is one smart kid to screw around. Then, he'll be so proud of himself if he finds something, that he'll find ways to show off his trick to as many other kids as possible (especially to the other kids with Chromebooks).

The same goes for a kid that finds the workaround online, or stumbles onto it through social media. He'll brag to other kids as if he invented the workaround himself.

Cheap Chromebooks the sim card explicitly removed and without the wifi password used to fill that niche, but now most new Chromebooks are touch-enabled and they'll be able to run Android soon. In other words, Google is about to mess it all up for parents.

And it won't be long until one kid figures out how he can download an apk to a usb stick or a memory card, and can play it on a friend's Chromebook. By the time 5th period rolls around, everyone in his school will have seen it done. And within a week or two, all kids who use Chromebooks in the entire United States will have seen it done (even if they themselves do not have direct internet access).

At that point, parents will just have resell their Chromebooks on Ebay and trade them in, for either paper notepads or old-fashioned electric type-writers. Or they'll be forced to just place the Chromebooks under lock and key like they've been forced to do with the wifi hub, the router, and everything else.

What is an "underachieving" driver? Someone who doesn't know how to park in parallel? Someone who only drives a few miles per year?

Either that, or it would be easy enough for someone to frame you by making sure you touch those metabolites before getting tested.

This movie, Mad Max: Fury Roads, looks extremely well crafted from the previews. It looks like a cross from Cirque du Soleil and the old Mad Max. I've only watched the previews, and I can't tell for sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if the so-called activist wasn't getting paid for his manufactured "outrage" as a form of guerrilla tactic by the movie creators themselves.

If you guys really want to watch a movie that's upsetting for men's rights to watch. Watch Hitch. The main character, Hitch, is supposedly the one exploiting women, and there is a political message obviously embedded in there, but somehow, the smart hot woman he is after is the one who is constantly treating him like crap. And the more she treats him like crap, the more he falls in love with her. In the end, they end up together, but I'm not even sure why that is. He's obviously in love with her, but there is no indication she even likes the guy (except for the jet ski sessions and all the other free stuff he gives her may be?).

And before someone starts criticizing my observation because the pathetic character in Hitch was the male this time, I can think of quite a few movies where it's the woman who is stuck in a one-sided love and the situation is the complete opposite. It's just that in those other movies, that kind of pathetic behavior doesn't get celebrated by the audience and those other movies do not come out specifically on Valentine's day as a model for couples to watch together and emulate.

Yes, but the lawsuit doesn't compare black student's test scores with asian test scores, it specifically compares white people's test scores with asian test scores instead. In other words, this lawsuit has nothing to do with black people taking the places of asians. It's only addressing the issue of white people with significantly lower test scores taking the places that should be going to asians instead.

And that's the thing, why do white people need to be protected from asians? And why are we even pretending that there was never any racism against the Chinese or the Japanese for instance? Because, there sure was. From the building of the railroads, to the internment camps of Chinese immigrants, to the internment camps and confiscation of assets of the Japanese (but not the Germans). There sure was plenty of discrimination against asians, not to mention plenty of discrimination at the University and school level.

Why can't anyone just admit that this policy of discrimination from Harvard is just a longterm continuation (not a reparation) of the discrimination that asians faced in the past (and it has nothing to do with black people, since black people's test scores are not even mentioned in the lawsuit at all).

In fact, the very same language used against asians is also constantly used against black people. Not long ago, white people used to complain about the invasions of black people into their neighborhoods and into their schools. In the 1920s, it was the invasions of Jews into their schools. Now, the target has shifted once more. It's the invasions of asians into their schools that have white people worry the most about.
