The professionals hijack episode speakers
Microsoft and Harman Kardon took the wraps off a new speaker with the Cortana voice assistant installed, helping Microsoft take on Amazon Echo and Google Home. The speaker is called the Invoke. Users can ask Cortana to play music, set calendar appointments, check the traffic, listen to the latest news, control smart home thermostats and more, Microsoft said in a blog post Monday. Cortana, Microsoft's voice assistant, has so far existed only on mobile devices and in the company's Windows operating system. Like Amazon 's Alexa, Apple's Siri and Google 's Assistant, Cortana can provide information on the weather, stocks, sports scores and more. So far, however, Microsoft hasn't sold a standalone product that provides users with access to Cortana.

Peterson Foundation Fiscal Summit, an event dedicated to avoiding the merest possibility that the United States could ever find itself in a sovereign debt crisis, Speaker of the House John Boehner R-Ohio was invited to address the assembled crowd, wherein he pledged … to try to maximize the possibility of a sovereign debt crisis. This time around, Boehner literally suggested that it would be more responsible to default on the full faith and credit of the United States than to increase the statutory debt ceiling without first hijacking the U.
But it would be more irresponsible to raise the debt ceiling without taking dramatic steps to reduce spending and reform the budget process… When the time comes, I will again insist on my simple principle of cuts and reforms greater than the debt limit increase. Republican leadership demanded a dollar in spending cuts for every dollar increase in the debt ceiling, refused any revenue increases accompanying spending reductions, and refused any compromise.
My colleague Ethan Pollack and I estimated that the first phase of spending cuts would shave 0. There are only two theoretical ways in which long-term deficit reduction can accelerate economic recovery.
Second, deficit reduction could lower the premium on government borrowing, and thus private interest rates. This second channel actually has no hope of actually working today, as longer-term Treasury yields are already at historically low levels. Making all future increases in the debt ceiling completely uncertain and chaotic, however, will almost certainly impede both channels in the future.
And this strategy of promising to hold the full faith and credit of the United States hostage in exchange for spending cuts seems entrenched as the GOP strategy. This should not be mistaken simply for excessive zeal for cutting deficits; this is playing chicken with a self-induced sovereign debt crisis.
Informed deficit hawks and they exist—they just put vastly insufficient weight on solving the actually existing jobs crisis, in our view endorse long-term deficit reduction as a means to avoid a sovereign debt crisis, not cause one.
The statutory debt ceiling has devolved from a pro forma vote into a global economic liability that Congress should put to rest. It seems clear that anybody interested in a sane economic policy regime should be looking for ways to repeal the debt ceiling, either in law or in practice. Working Economics Blog.

Another concern within the cybersecurity workforce is the gender gap. Magda Chelly, a cybersecurity professional, former chief information security officer, public speaker and entrepreneur.

UPS Longitudes | Top 5 Podcasts of 2017
And now for some good news! Extrapolating from the many reports and articles currently available, three out of four of our children and young people will come through the Covid pandemic in good physical and mental health. Reframing is a powerful concept and being able to get the big picture in these challenging times is central to wellbeing. You may have spotted that the actual headlines declare one in four children will suffer from anxiety and depression, maybe in the long term: this is cause for concern yet — but for each of us with the organising ideas of human givens at our disposal we can make a difference and help reduce these numbers.
Chapter 2. Library-Podcast Intersections
A library, at its core, is not just a collection of ideas but also an institution that provides the means to develop and contextualize new knowledge. Similarly, a podcast is not just an audio file distributed over the internet but also a tool that creates conversations, generating new ideas and concepts. The links between libraries and podcasts are more prevalent than might be apparent at first blush. Many of the most popular podcasts have scaled their way to the top of the charts by telling an engaging true crime story or humorously poking holes in our culture through drunken retellings of the past.
A lot of it was YouTube videos of advanced editing or very basic stuff. On with the show. Unfortunately, this is going to be an Apple-heavy post given that Logic Pro X is only available on Macs. Sorry, rest of world! As of this writing, both podcasts are recorded remotely because of geographic constraints. The way we do this is that each co-host records her microphone input locally and then sends me the audio file I also record my own microphone input.
Ashley LeMay and Dylan Blakeley recently installed a Ring security camera in the bedroom of their three daughters, giving the Mississippi parents an extra set of eyes — but not the ones that they had bargained for. She screamed for her mother. The intrusion was part of a recent spate of breaches involving Ring, which is owned by Amazon.
It was my error.
In this case everyone.
