Temporary work was once considered a leading indicator for the job market — a harbinger of improved prospects for people seeking permanent positions. But in this recovery, staffing agencies say fewer employers are taking temps onboard as permanent workers.
companies are dumb
we'll save benefits (but pay higher salary because of the temp agency's cut) and keep them as temps
with no regard for the negative impact having short-term workers has on productivity (constantly bringing people up to speed and/or losing institutional knowledge)
I was pretty happy to skip the temp agency and bring a person in as my replacement. Temp agencies are super expensive.

Live video feeds for tensor displays could easily reach into the hundreds of megabytes per second. The future is coming, whether you are ready or not.
Thousands of hot, local singles are waiting to play at bubbulon.com.
An upscale major kitchen remodel in the U.S., including custom cherry cabinetry, stone counter tops, and high-end appliances costs an average of nearly $111,000, reports a yearly study done by Remodeling Magazine.
That's a real big number but it's completely meaningless to anyone who does anything other than watch YouTube videos.
I'm really interested in the good charities might be able to do with the free internet option. Get low income families grants to pay for the construction fee and you could help bring internet to poor areas.
Yeah, that's actually the best option. One time fee of 300$ for the drop and hardware or 25$ a month for 12 months? Five megabit is a perfectly reasonable amount of bandwidth to pay for, much less get for free.
Google will be inundated with techsupport calls to the tune of, "I have a gigabit connection but am only downloading stuff at a megabyte and this speed test server two states away says I only get 18megabit."
Google is guaranteeing 7 years of free internet for that option. So it works out $3.58 or so a month. I mean I'm not sure there is a better value out there.

The same things are said over and over again whenever hardware leapfrogs application. Don't worry, give it a few years and we'll find ways to burn 128MB/s in ways you never dreamed of. Ways that will make you wonder how you lived without it.
I remember back in the day having trouble filling my 6 gigabyte hard drive.
I remember having trouble filling an 80MB hard drive.
I remember when games fit on a low density floppy. 300 or 400 KB.
It was a big deal to me to buy a game that came on 5 or 6 floppy discs like WC2 or Ultima 8.
EDIT: Note that WC2 and U8 came long after I upgraded to a 486 with a 250MB or so HD. The 80 was on a 286.
Andrew Sullivan is pissing me off with his Sally Ride shit
wait what?
He's giving her all this shit for not coming out openly as a lesbian during the 1980s and 90s
It's a shame and a pity that she either didn't feel she could or just plain didn't want to, but apparently she didn't break enough barriers in her lifetime to satisfy him

Gonna be much longer than a few years, sadly. The bottleneck is upstream and pricing. Sure, YouTube videos will load insanely fast and if Google and Netflix ever get their direct peers up then Netflix will be blazing.
You're right in that it's not a bad idea to have it now for when that overhead is needed but they could probably . But the internet in general? I doubt the necessity of having a connection that fast will come anytime soon. Though I am certainly interested in what kind of data a normal home user will be pushing in ten years. I guess super mega ultra fancy High Def? But even the most highest and definiest of HDs won't suck up a gigabit anytime soon.
I admin a massive ISP and Cell network. If you're in the South/South East and browse the net on your phone, 9/10 you're gonna come across my network even if you aren't on my cell company (who is large). We only have about a total of five gigabit upstream and we're talking about dropping 2gigs of it because it's just not needed. 3 gigabit upstream provides voip, video tv, and general internet usage for dozens of thousands of people with enough overhead to spare.

There was a paper journalist interviewing R Kelly, they were in a pretty tight sound booth. R Kelly calls his butler, and whispers something to him.
The butler leaves and moments later a woman clad in a bikini outfit comes in the booth. She faces away from Mr Kelly and leans forward. During the rest of the interview R Kelly sometimes gropes her ass every now and then, completely normal like this is something that everyone does.
This may be crazy rumor but I choose to believe it.
R Kelly, you are weird.

Sullivan is the worst.
I am a fan for a lot of other reasons but he has fucking blinders on for a lot of issues that just drive me insane
But I wouldn't keep reading if I agreed with him all the time, I guess
