Re: Portland
Same solution to all bloated civil servants - Privatize it.
With the proper incentives it would open up a wide ranging employment among the disaffected urban youth to compete against traditional Italian-American family businesses outside the limited market of retail pharmaceutical sales.
It might even speed-up pizza delivery (obligatory obscure Neal S. reference)

>This'll make undercover work interesting if police graduation photos get added to the system
How is undercover work even possible these days?
So you're Mr J Smith and you want to join my drug running gang ?
Lets have a quick look on Facebook, oh you don't seem to have any presence on the web in spite of being 20 and growing up in America.
Oh I see, you were Amish before you decided to get a very short hair cut and join the underworld? That must be why you also stand to attention and call everyone sir .

Except it's the other way around.
Openstreetmap - start straight away with a bunch of existing code that devs all over the world are already using in game engines vs. hire a bunch of lawyers to negotiate with OS about the specific uses and licenses for their data and then develop on their API using only the 3 devs in the world familiar with it and have a product that only works in the UK.

Re: Your big brother policemen...
It doesn't come to court
Most of it is checking young women's phones for selfies / sex-tapes
Then a lot of finding something bad about a person after you shot them at a traffic stop / if they complain about you. It would just be a lot more convenient if you knew the dirt on everybody before you stopped them.

Re: this anti trust suit will probably fail
Remember US anti-trust isn't about protecting consumers - it's about protecting other companies.
Google's ability to see more analytics allow them to set prices to advertisers more efficiently than the old fashioned TV/cable ad-brokers did, and so puts those firms at a disadvantage.
The aim of this is to give the ad-agencies the same business model on the web that they had with print media.
2020 hasn't been all bad – a new Raspberry Pi Compute Module is here
Re: Forgotten memories
>Why, in a classroom, would you do *anything* other than netboot them?
Apart from managing the server and credentials and which student's image is which
One idea is that the Pi is cheap enough to have the same machine at home - so the kids can take an SD card to/from school and play at home, like we used to do with cassettes (but hopefully more reliable)
Re: Forgotten memories
The point of the Pi was NOT to have onboard installed os.
If you have an installed system in a classroom you have to manage it. You can't give students root so you can't have them install or modify anything, you need security, anti-virus, backup, maintenance, updates, rules and punishments for breaking them. Deterring students from doing anything not explicitly specified in the lesson.
The whole point of the Pi is to be like the 8bit micros of old. You screw up you just pop in a new image card and start again.
Re: Still not pleasing some
> I mean do you really want semi-fast calculations and 2 monitors at the cost of higher power consumption?
For some applications yes.
For mass market embedded, you will be spinning up your own board with a carefully chosen SOC and your own software support.
This is targeted at smaller markets and places where you would otherwise use a PC. Kiosks + signage for example. Places where you need an existing OS and apps ready to run.
Let’s check in with that 30,000-job $10bn Trump-Foxconn Wisconsin plant. Wow, way worse than we'd imagined
Re: Todays politics is irrelevant
>The issue is that the US exported all its tech talent to China starting about 20 years ago
The US stopped creating any tech talent 20 years ago.

Software billionaire accused of hiding $2bn in income from IRS – potentially the largest tax scam in US history
Re: Another poster boy for
The last few administrations have been defunding the IRS enforcement branch.
Odd really when it has a 50x payoff in the money it gets back.
Almost as if rich political donors don't want to be audited by the tax man
ps. He's back and is the poster boy for "there is no racism cos this guys rich". He did the stunt where at the graduation speech at a black university and announced he was paying off everyone's student loan. It was part of a deal he was trying to do with the IRS where he claimed that he had planned to give all the money away to charity - and it was just resting in his anonymous swiss bank account
