Bloomberg's article title is really confusing here. It should say "Japanese Carmakers are Learning Tech Talent Doesn't Come Cheap". It's not at all surprising and is part of Japan's overall difficulty in attra

I think parent post is downplaying things a bit, but I'd take the risk of 100k people bring displaced by a nuclear accident over 100's of millions of people being displaced by climate change.

Here's the thing though, Trump didn't get appreciably more voter turnout than Mitt Romney. Hillary on the other hand, got a lot less Democratic voters to turn out than Obama did. We don't know how much damage Comey's ac

One type of port that requires most professionals to buy a bunch of dongles. That's not more useful, that's a hassle. Macbooks have had available SSD's for awhile. When it comes down to it, a bunch of sacrifices were made to

It's certainly possible that multiple US intel and law enforcement agencies were incorrect in their analysis. The US intelligence community has a high degree of confidence on this one, but you never really know unless you can see the

No, there is no evidence of that. What is clear is that 'someone' provided illegally obtained materials to Wikileaks, and all indications are that it was Russia. Russia chose to provide information that was damaging to Hillary C

The right certainly would've complained about a coverup if Comey hadn't said anything about the additional emails before the election. It was still a gross breach in protocol and wholly inappropriate. As a rule the FBI simply doe

> Tax cuts for all working people. Let people decide what to do with their own money (spend, save, donate, etc.). The bigger the government, the smaller the individual. Tax cuts are all well and good in a vacuum, but how are we realistic

Unifying to one standard port is kind of cool, except for the fact that not even Apple's other devices use that type of connection and users will have to buy dongles for almost everything. That represents a concrete step backwards in

Sure you can't please everybody. But you can certainly displease most of the people who buy your products. Not saying the ports is a dealbreaker, just that it makes things more inconvenient for probably the majority of users, with lit

Yeah so now you have to carry some sort of multi-adapter in addition to your ultra clean laptop. > It also doesn't have a floppy drive or an IBM serial port. So how long do you think until cameras stop requiring a SD card? How long

Or break the project out into phases/sprints. That way if the customer wants to increase scope it changes the price of the next phase, rather than having to renegotiate the entire deal. It also gives both parties some concrete decisi

Problem is that so few people would be wearing dazzle makeup that the act of wearing dazzle makeup would get you more government attention instead of less.

The problem being pointed to here is that it's not just official government accounts being hacked here. Private accounts of private citizens are being hacked for political gain. Should everyone who ever worked for the government have

> Hillary clinton is not in jail Ugh not this again. Hillary is not in jail because her actions did not rise to the level of criminal prosecution. Look at General Petraeus. He willfully gave highly classified material to his mistress.

I don't have time to research everyone you posted but Azealia Banks got banned because she directed a profane, racist, and homophobic rant against Zayn Malik of One Direction. Maybe it's not that Twitter is targeting Trump support

This. And really, it's the same problem in elected government too. Often times the people who desire power the most are the last ones that should have it. People who might actually make great leaders (or at least would not be tyrant

I think the need for rails is probably the deal breaker. You'd have to repave 2 lanes of asphalt to add the tracks, so it would be very expensive compared to buses and might even approach the cost of light rail. The height issue just
