Disney's Frozen

First of all, the movie is aimed at kids. Secondly, as a parent of girls, I actually found the movie to have the best message of all other Disney classics. Don't fall in love with the first sweet talking guy you meet. And true love between sisters, and all that.

Does your grade in school reflect your success in career/life?

I think you asked the question in the wrong way. You should've instead asked what's a correlation coefficient between good grades in school, and success later in life. I think it's high, but not 1. And don't get me started on how you define success in life.

Girl sped up to over 100 MPH, crashed into another vehicle and then took..UPDATE...

I had to read the article twice to make sure I understood it correctly. First, a major company launches a feature that without a stretch can be seen as encouraging their users to put their own and others lives in danger. Then, said feature actually creates evidence of a criminal act? And...

Intel made a huge mistake 10 years ago. Now 12,000 workers are paying the price

Yes, that concern is true. Cloud providers are also a bigger target for attackers, as there is more to gain if they succeed. Which why cloud providers tend to spend a lot of brain power on security. At the end of the day, you go with what makes you comfortable. Many big companies are...

When cloud is no longer available, well life sucks. But local machine s fail too, and likely way more often. Cloud will almost always have better energy efficiency, more energy efficient designs, multi-tenancy, data centers located in more favorable regions. I haven seen energy costs of data...

Why does it need to be handled locally? It can be processed (or even rendered) remotely, on a machine much more powerful than anything you will have at home. And the phone just does minimal amount of post processing.

Amazon rigging feedback to protect dishonest sellers?

Was it fulfilled by Amazon item, or fulfilled by the seller themselves?

You think it's lack of education, or just luck of the genetic draw?

Saudi Arabia threatens to sell $750 billion in Treasuries in response to 9/11 Bill

I didn't read the article in depth, but the threat kind of makes sense, doesn't it? Our government is about to pass the bill that will allow people to sue sovereign governments in *our* court. If that bill passes, it would be a sound financial move by any country at risk of the lawsuit to...

When Youre Accustomed to Privilege, Equality Feels Like Oppression

The OP did not connect with me. So it basically takes a single anecdote (one with comically one dimensional antagonist, I should say) and draws a rather thin theory from it.

Netherlands proposes banning gas, diesel car sales by 2025

I think it will absolutely happen. Electric car is simply a superior product, and not because of environmental concerns. It doesn't require running to a gas station every week, it's cheaper to operate and maintain, and it drives quieter. The price will eventually reach a point where those...

Will Smith shot to death in apparent road rage incident (No, not that Will Smith)

Being interviewed? What an odd choice of words... Interrogated maybe, but interviewed makes it sound like they are politely asking the alleged murderer some questions.
