The interesting legacy corollary here is that it's completely bog standard for home security systems to be left in place when a house is sold. I say this because the systems that ADT, etc sell these days are largely made up of white la

>because some problems are incredibly hard to solve and need a lot of resources to even start to solve. But there's not a whole lot of evidence that solving one problem truly lends itself to solving any other of any actual utility.

I generally agree with you. Honestly, I'd largely argue that the difference is a population that isn't both insular and predominantly white. Election results, obviously, are not the full story, but they do provide a glimpse of t

Well, what I was getting at is that there are places in Georgia that aren't Atlanta metro that have far more in common with ATL than they do e.g., Collquit County. It's the same as in most states - the divide is urban/rural

As a Columbus resident, this city leans more liberal than many of the ATL burbs. Same goes for Savannah.

To me, this looks like the bigger potential problem: >U.S. Digital Service members join us for what we call a tour of duty. We are seeking candidates interested in joining the U.S. Digital Service fulltime, ideally for at least 12 months

Sure, that's valid. But most of the real nightmare scenarios I've heard related to backwards compatibility have more to do with third-parties doing things they were never supposed to do. Things like hitting private, undocumented A

It's hard enough to get enterprise customers to stay current when they do provide legacy support. Fighting with IE version compatibility, for example, is still a daily, very real issue for enterprise size organizations. Blame the cus

I live less than five minutes from my office. I make a point of making myself available at the office a couple of hours per day, but I vastly prefer -- and am more productive -- working from my office at home. Fewer distractions, less noise

Basically, yes. Fabs are hugely expensive and they can only pump out so many wafers. The article is saying that it looks like demand is outstripping the capacity of the fabs to increase supply.

Legacy broadcast contracts are a huge problem here. I only care about hockey, but NHL.tv is a complete mess from an audience perspective. $120 a year theoretically gets you streaming for the regular season. Unless you're considered in-

I think the broader point is that in any industry that's heavily regulated enough that built-in regulatory compliance is a selling point, is it really worth the hassle of taking on that potential liability yourself when it can be out

Personally, I tend to have more anxiety over making changes that could potentially kill someone than about data security. :) That said, that's another area where the industry is in pretty bad shape, but that's a far longer rant.

Then you have to provision hardware to run it and someone to set it up and admin it. And deal with backups and data retention, etc. Healthcare IT teams tend to run ridiculously lean. There's a much stronger business case for paying a

If I'm understanding your question correctly, the single biggest obstacle in healthcare informatics today is interoperability. The industry grew up in a pretty ad hoc way and the result is that closed-off silos of data are pretty much

I just want you to know that you've highlighted my point far better than I did. From the responses I've gotten, I feel like people think I'm saying the south doesn't have very real problems with race. It does. But the da

You've pretty much entirely missed my point. I explicitly acknowledged that there are absolutely still real problems with race in the south. Things like the state of Alabama implementing voter ID laws and then shutting down DMV offices

And the south isn't bigoted in the ways many people assume. There are absolutely small towns where open discrimination is a problem. And there are absolutely small minded jerks that have a problem with people of color. But what I&#x2

I get the impression that they're probably trying to avoid further diluting the Arduino brand in the US with the expectation that they'll eventually prevail in the trademark dispute.

It's honestly mundane in it's availability in the US as well; I just haven't seen anyone actually using it.

As best I can tell, it's just a horribly mangled headline that has very little to do with the actual content of the article.
