Is there a judiciary that determines whether the mob was within their rights to light your restaurant on fire, and can stop the mob from lighting the restaurant on fire?
Even if you think the FCC is just an extension of trump(fair) at this moment, their rulings aren't the final word. They still need to follow the law. If the FCC improperly attempts to withhold a license from the affiliate, the affiliate can sue and let federal judges, who are not an extension of trump, decide on the matter.
Why is it a given that "managerial incompetence" is what caused the demise of The Messenger? Maybe the vision was just wrong. Maybe the journos never produced any compelling content.
And when the author writes things like
> The idea that the affluent out of touch gentleman behind The Hill — itself a longstanding purveyor of clickbait and timid “both sides” journalism — was going to single-handedly change modern reporting was always laughable.
Then why should I feel sorry for the staffers that took the job, who now need to find another job?
And, finally, while I'm sure Finkelstein will be okay financially, I have a hard time seeing how him burning $50M of his stash as "failing upwards". What opportunities are now available to Finkelstein since The Messenger died, that weren't there before?
How would fanfic/other derivative works cut into sales of the source material? I don't know much about the world, but I would blindly wager that 99% of people who consume content like this have already consumed 100% of the source material, and are just itching for more.
I saved/earned Amazon $25M/yr also back in 2012. Because the project that was supposed to compute price matching/most-favored-nation status for vendors was never actually implemented. Despite it being in the standard contract for vendors for years, no one ever noticed that we never adjusted prices based on it. My own initiative noticing the problem, my own design and implementation, as a L3(or whatever the fresh grad role level is), and I got zip for it. Big part of my reason for leaving the company. I didn't expect people to fall to their knees and worship me, but it seemed like a project that should be a big part of a promotion, but I was passed over multiple times.
Perhaps it will now that third party app stores will be force onto apple. Granted, you still won't be able to jailbreak your iphone by just typing in the root password, but you will probably be able to install compilers and interpreters onto an iphone by 2024.
I don't really have issue with the roald dahl edits. They're books for children, not for adults to appreciate the art and historicity of the story telling. Kids books are usually about morals and entertainment, and they model their language and behavior after books to an extent that adults don't. So, edit away I say. But also make sure the originals are available somewhere(which they are, since they sold into the millions)
You could probably just link that to an amazon search result for "commercial TVs", which generally lack smart features and are mostly only designed for HDMI in
I don't think it is a bad question to ask. In fact, there might even be negative biases against attractiveness for engineers. Will a dude with cheeto dust on his star wars t-shirt give a fair shake to a good looking woman who is wearing business attire and makeup, compared to another dude in a t-shirt?
Let's do a test. Who would you imagine is the better engineer of these two old timey people?
If men graduating from college at a higher rate than women, or men earning more than women, is indicative of lack of equality, then wouldn't the opposite hold true - women graduating from college at a higher rate than men, or women earning more than men is indicative of lack of equality?
Can you quantify "a lot of latency"? It should be...a few microseconds more latency? I have to guess the high end networking equipment was configured incorrectly or something. I ssh to machines on my network from wired and wireless devices and it is impossible to tell what kind of network you're on when doing so.
Alex Cazes had bad op-sec. His #2, DeSnake, didn't, and is still alive and well and has restarted his marketplace and gives anonymous interviews to media outlets:
