That is, they're saying he's not a dullard. I can understand how the phrase "by no means a" could be confusing for someone new to English.

As the first part, I think you are confusing between profit and share price.

They have to cut expense if they are making net loss or are in cash flow negative. Which is quite different from share price.

And as of your second part. Why would not FB have billions of dollars at their disposal if their share price tanks? They sold the IPO and already have got that cash in their bank account. They won't gain a single dollar if the share price rises neither won't they lose a single dollar if it tanks.

But is there an indirect relation besides the obvious? That's what the original poster asked. Your answer didn't reply it.
Oh, absolutely! I have no doubts that Facebook will always be a step behind the bots, and I don't think anyone feels or even expects otherwise. That's just part of the social networking climate right now, and all major (and even many minor) social networking sites have to deal with it. However, in many cases that were pointed out in both the article and the comments here, these people weren't having their pages liked and ads clicked through by advanced bots, but instead by obviously shill accounts. Now of course there is always the option that these are legitimate accounts with weird use patterns, but regardless there are methods of doing at least a significant sweep and remove some of the more obvious bots or at least offering them a chance of legitimacy confirmation (even something similar to CAPTCHAs for non-standard account usage that messes with advertisers campaigns).

Like I said, I absolutely believe there will be bots that are incredibly sophisticated that might be difficult to detect, but I still think more could be done to stop the less sophisticated ones.

A confined spaces are those areas which has limited entry and exit points and is considered as the most hazardous area where the accidents are rare but are very dangerous. In such cases, immediate confined space services must be given to rescue the victim. These rescue services involves high angle rescue, rope rescue, first aid etc which must be given to the victim quickly in order to rescue life.

One thing that MIGHT be against you depending on your state's internship environment, is that companies that recruit through a college internship program may receive government subsidies on internship wages.

Otherwise sure, why not, just hustle yourself and I'm sure you'll find something. Find the emails of CEOs/founders of interesting places you'd like to work and mail them.

Given that the RSA intrusion was known and the government didn't take steps to change passwords, sure. In this case, it's perfectly fair to say the Dropbox employee stupidly allowed their email to be hacked.

Wow, I think anyone with any basic logic course under their belt can see many cause and effect fallacies going on here. I'd expect a little more from Bloomberg.

Is it that they perform better because there are women on the board, that women make better decision, or that companies that perform better are more likely to also have women on the board? It could be any number of things and any reasonable person wouldn't even need these things spelled out for them.
Sadly as stated in the article alot of the chemicals your dads got to play with are no longer available at a consumer level and in that be it most protect the children approach was not even the main reason were in this state.

It is lamentable and whilst kids in the 60's could build bombs and other fun kids stuff of the time. Well if they did half of what kids back then did they would be labeled terrorists and packaged up as one, which is in many ways very very sad.

I must say the aspect of offering perfume type chemistry sets is a novel approach and I appaud that level of thinking. But for young boys who wish to see things go bang it is sadly not of much use.

Now maybe we could oneday get a digital chemistry set were you can relive all the old wonderful explosions and resctions. It's not like we don't know how every combination fo chemical in a 60's chemistry set will react in every permutation and it is also not like we don't have the processing power to do some of the cleverness in a way that is educational and appealing.

Still at least kids can buy gun-caps still and from those you can make bolt-bombs, bangers (with celotape and electic bang fuses) and also great fun added to the end of a dart with cotton wall around the shaft. So in many ways kids can still have ther bang fun and snappies are still available and great fun in pea-shooters.

But chemisty fun is one they just can't get until at school and then it's overly controlled with most being demostrations without the level of intereaction some need.

Heck if you had a place were us adults could go and play chemistry set like our old days - even if it is in a room were no chemicals can leave, well i'd know alot would be up for that.

But it is a balance between saftly and education and in many ways that balance is overly biased deeming everybody by default to be a mad drig producing, WMD making terrorist and that in itself is just sad.

(I personally think women in director positions are a good thing because an all-men board obviously can't consist of the best people available)

I don't want to turn this into a flame war about gender, but this does not seem obvious to me. It's certainly not the case in other fields. For example, the best mathematicians are predominantly male. (No female has ever won the Fields Medal or Abel Prize.) The same goes for computer science (only two women have won the Turing Award).

I'm not saying there's no inertia or social dynamics involved, but publicly-traded companies have large incentives to select the best board members they can find. Considering these incentives, a massive imbalance would make sense if one gender was better at running public companies.
It is, but they say hes not a dullard. They're trying to emphasize the fact that even though he did not end up becoming a physicist, he's pretty smart.
Cool. Yes. Looking for that.
I don't understand how an all-male board obviously implies not having the best people available. Doesn't that mean that for any group of any size of only males, there exists at least one woman that is better at at least one of their jobs?

I don't see how that's a given.

(I should have refreshed sooner, it appears I wasn't the only one to make this point)
People do complain about all the example companies you mention. DuckDuckGo exist to provide an alternative search engine and one of their campaigns is "don't bubble me". Apple is condemned for various policies; their odd process for accepting or rejecting apps is one example.

And Microsoft (Microshaft / Micro$oft / etc) has been vehemently hated by large numbers of people.

I don't hate FB. I dislike the ever changing user interface. I dislike the sneaky changes to privacy settings. I hate many of the apps - and facebook's lack of action to help keep its users safe.

The user interface at the moment is strongly making me not like FB. I set stories to "Most recent" because I want it to stay at most recent. I have to keep resetting it every week or so. Unfortunately there's no alternative - to use facebook you use the facebook website. This is something that's gently weird to me. I'm used to services which run on a defined standard, and which allow you to chose a client.

Maybe this is something that "the next Facebook" will do - define a tight RFC for social networking and provide a good quality browser based client, but allowing competition to provide other clients.
The average consumer would have absolutely no idea what that (compute node, resource demands, autoconfigured caching) means. None.

Terrorism is probably not nearly as important in this as the march of legal liability. If chemistry sets ever included all the stuff required for making a serious explosive, it has been decades since then.

If you started a chain of chemical hackerspaces for adults (the neat idea you describe) and did not take strict measures to control your liability then sooner or later you could be sure of a suit from someone who injured himself.

And the days have long passed when you could sell toys like "bag o'glass" to kids without facing epic liability.
The actual cost of the data itself is trivial in comparison to the cost of connectivity in the first place.

If you really hate it that much, and claim that you effectively never use it, then get a phone plan without data and just use your wifi. Problem solved.

The thing is, you do use your cellular data, and maintaining that service is more than just pushing a few ones and zeros.

I am having trouble finding where in my post I said anything about using a service to saturation.

Your post is complaining about paying for unused data, and why can't you just pay for the data you're actually using - in short, you want a plan that you saturate and just want to pay for that.

They also state that they neither proactively reported the content (they encouraged NBC to do so), nor did they remove it on behalf of NBC (they claim independent action based on their policy).

In other words, they deny having done what they consider not acceptable, so that can't be what they are apologizing for.

"I absolutely didn't hit you. I'm apologize. I never hit people, that would be unacceptable."

Doesn't make any sense. They just stuck the word "apologize" in between saying how they did nothing wrong and denouncing something they claim they didn't do in the first place.

So the account would have been restored if Guy Adams did as they told him. That's just the standard "he shouldn't have resisted arrest" line of deflection.

Stating how right you are and always have been is quite the opposite of an apology. It's not even a well constructed "non-apology apology", it's just randomly inserting the word "apologize".

Speaking as an SF resident, we've actually got the slowest major transit system in the country (Muni; BART coverage is far from adequate for travel within the city). While this of course beats all the places with NO major transit system, it's laughable to think that widespread use of driverless cars wouldn't improve transportation significantly. I've never wanted to own a car living in the city, but with a little imagination, one can imagine most of the downsides of doing so (cost, parking, etc) significantly diminishing with widespread adoption of driverless cars. Probably more significantly, one can imagine the massive benefits gained by society at large, including those who still have no interest in getting a driverless car (safety, congestion, hell even driverless public transport).

In the UK a child died after drinking a beaker of (I think, my memory is hazy) copper sulphate.

This very rare but avoidable death possibly led to people thinking "chemistry sets are dangerous" and not buying them. Or maybe as makers made sets safer people felt that the sets were not worth the money - not exciting enough.

The toy industry is pretty brutal too. It is a multi billion dollar business, with a limited number of companies in the sector.

Client side encryption would stop Dropbox from deduplicating the data. Very few people rip their own CDs. Instead they buy them from a digital store or pirate them. In either case the mp3 will not be unique. If you look in the average users home directory you'll find a few megabytes of word documents, a few hundred megabytes of family photos and maybe their music collection.

If we assume that the set of files users sync is similar to the set of files in their home directory then it is not a stretch to conclude that Dropbox deals with lots of music. Dropbox cannot do anything about the documents or family photos but they can save considerable bandwidth and disk space by deduplicating the music, or any other common media.

Since dropbox's biggest input cost is storage I could well see client side encryption having a consider effect on their profitability.

First, I'm not convinced if all (r, g, b, 0) should be different colours or not, especially given how CSS lets you have a "transparent" colour -- that implies it will blend with any colour towards its transparent version.

The other issue is that Firefox is doing anti-aliasing incorrectly, no matter what you decide on the above. The colour between the two borders must be halfway between light grey and white, i.e. between the visible colours on the page.
