PUBLIC MARKS with search waste

Earlier this month Apple took the unusual step of releasing a list of all the firms in its worldwide supply chain as part of its 2011 audit of human rights conditions at factories where it has partnerships.However, the company's own list made for grim reading. It revealed that a staggering 62% of the 229 facilities that it was involved with were not in compliance with Apple's 60-hour maximum working week policy. Almost a third had problem with hazardous waste.Cook insisted in his email that Apple did not turn a blind eye to conditions in its supplier network. But he did warn that the firm was likely to discover more problems. "We will continue to dig deeper, and we will undoubtedly find more issues," he said.

Tim Cook, CEO actuel d'Apple, est responsable de toute la partie production depuis son arrivée en 1998. La fermeture des usines Apple : c'est Cook. La transformation d'Apple, fabricant informatique, en un bureau d'études couplé à une agence de publicité : c'est Cook. L'iPhone 4 blanc avec un an de retard : c'est encore Cook. Depuis 10 ans, Cook a joué la carte "sweatshops" et engrangé les profits ; ça commence à se voir, mais ça n'est plus un problème : l'argent est là, n'a jamais été distribué aux actionnaires, il peut s'acheter une virginité tel le mafieux versant son obole pour la restauration du presbytère.

Semantics are like wonderful prose. You use them to deliver an enjoyable product. People are not celebrated for writing books. They are celebrated for what they filled them with. If we keep putting things on the web that have structure and get better on more sophisticated display products we are building for the future. If we point fingers at others doing it wrong we waste our time.

But here’s the dirty little secret of Rails development: the messiest, nastiest big-ball-of-mud code I have seen in my entire career has been in Ruby on Rails projects. I’ve seen Rails projects that accumulated enough technical debt and waste in two years to make 10 year-old C/C++ programs look clean and elegant by comparison. And it wasn’t just one project. I’ve seen it over and over.

C'est le pouvoir de la magie : plus le code est mystique, moins il est touchable.

To be clear, I never read the HTML5 spec correctly because it's such a waste of time. Seeking the ten features that are usable today among the thirthy that aren't is something I really hate. I prefer to read UA blogs speaking about features implemented in a specific browser. At least, it's effective and immediately testable. Many HTML5 algorithms in the spec will never be implemented anytime soon. By the time they will get implemented, many changes will have been introduced and you'll forgot what you learnt before.

To me, the only solution has been to assume that Windows 7 x64 does not have backup tools, and go with free third party solutions that are absolutely reliable, waste none of my time, and cause none of this pain (see my earlier post).

Enlever un choix donné à l'utilisateur n'est pas une bonne solution, si la décision automatiquement prise derrière n'est pas la bonne.

over 14 million tons – about 16 years’ worth of garbage according to how much is typically accumulated in the prefecture each year. Rubble from the earthquake adds another couple million tons. The prefecture only has the capacity to dispose of roughly 0.8 million tons per year,

Apple service has been designed to handle high volumes of traffic – it does not use anything like stateless HTTP to waste bandwidth.

'Waste not, want not' is an expression that has become increasingly pertinent in recent years as economic conditions have forced many of us to tighten our belts and make the most of what we have, rather than constantly replacing old with new. This attitude of thrift extends to architecture in the form of adaptive reuse – the conversion of an old building into something better suited to contemporary requirements.

Shibuya-based Naruse-Inokama Architects, comprised of Jun Inokuma and Yuri Naruse, takes wood waste from houses and turns that into paper. The resultant paper is then formed into a stack of Post-It-like sticky notes that are in turn shaped like little houses. (They're called IE-TAGs as "ie" is Japanese for "house.")

When we dig to bury it, we need to make sure this is remembered. Imagine placing nuclear waste in a hole. How do you tell people in 200,000 years that there are dangerous substances there? It’s not science fiction anymore. How do you communicate with those people? What language will they speak? The length of the threat isn’t considered here.

Women are being underused in the Japanese economy, which can ill-afford to waste precious human talent, especially as the country reels from the impact of the global recession on its export market.

I refuse to waste any more time on a technology that is so difficult to learn (or at least whose documentation is so deficient) that its most basic tutorials don’t work.

Developing the app for Google-sized scale is a waste of your time, plus, there is no way you will get it right. Absolutely none. It's not that you're not smart enough, it's that you do not have the experience to know what problems you will see at scale.

The sooner your company admits this, the sooner you can get down to some real work. Developing the app for Google-sized scale is a waste of your time, plus, there is no way you will get it right. Absolutely none. It's not that you're not smart enough, it's that you do not have the experience to know what problems you will see at scale.

C'est bien de se prendre la tête, mais si votre application n'a que 4000 abonnés, ça tourne sur votre portable normalement.

1) If a reference book attempted to be comprehensive in any way, and it was essential that the information be presented in any kind of a logical, linear order, then a new copy of its entire contents had to be published…not just the new information. At the start of the new year, all existing unsold copies had to be scrapped. They almost immediately became unsalable.

Beijing-based artist Song Dong (b. 1966) explores notions of transience and impermanence with installations that combine aspects of performance, video, photography, and sculpture. Projects 90, his first solo U.S. museum show, presents his recent work Waste Not. A collaboration first conceived of with the artist's mother, the installation consists of the complete contents of her home, amassed over fifty years during which the Chinese concept of wu jin qi yong, or "waste not," was a prerequisite for survival. The assembled materials, ranging from pots and basins to blankets, oil flasks, and legless dolls, form a miniature cityscape that viewers can navigate around and through.

This is to certify that the bearer is a member of the human race. All relevant information is to be found in his passport. And except when there is good reason for suspecting him of some crime, he will refuse to submit to police interrogation, on the grounds that any such interrogation is an intolerable nuisance.
