I any one surprised? Teslas are lemons after all.

demographics is destiny

His company's cars work as advertised

No they don't.

When I have been asked by "average persons" about the upgrade, I explain the data harvesting that Microsoft will be doing to them and their family.

And depending on how you ask this question, the answer will be what YOU want it to be. The "data harvesting" is well documented and is on the same level as Facebook, Google, DuckDuckGo, etc. This telemetry has been common place in software since XP (at least). Any "user experience" reporting, crash feedback, or online knowledge base/help system is gathering the same data that Windows 10 is.

You seem to be a little misinformed. DuckDuckGo advertises itself as "The search engine that doesn't track you. Learn More."

Telemetry may be common, but not by an Operating System. Users can easily choose not to use Facebook or Google. Choosing a different operating system, however, is much more complex.

I'm using Google less and less, it makes me feel uncomfortable to input so much data into that company. I've started using DuckDuckGo as my default search engine: https://duckduckgo.com/

I still have a free (grandfathered) Google Apps for Domains account though. So obviously costs beat privacy concerns everytime :)

Yeah, but now you can buy sugar in 25lbs bags. That's almost a lifetime supply for $30 unless you are making your own rum. I don't remember, but I think it's $10 cheaper at costco.

"A" problem, not "the" problem.

And not all voters.

Another problem is that government has shielded the two currently dominant political parties from competition. No matter how bad they are are choosing candidates or at governing, they will not go the way of the Whig Party.

If things continue to suck, one or both of them might lose their statutory duopoly status in an unpleasant manner reminiscent of the loss of statutory monopoly status of the Communist Party in the Soviet Union.

Or worse yet, the even more unpleasant manner that the Romanians disempowered their Communist Party. http://duckduckgo.com?q=romani...

Housing is 35%, but schools barely show up. And median school debt is under $15k, median household income is over $50k.

I would have up-modded you, but I can't approve of the deranged wingnut meme in your sig

And I would've donated your upmod to charity, asshole.

That meme you denounce is much classier than the original, which it parodies...

Don't knock it until you try it.

I haven't used google for over 5 years now, possibly longer.

You need to read some of the information here: from a simple online search.

Fecal transplants made people thinner and fatter, also more or less insulin resistant. The contents of the biomass of our digestive system is an area we know very very little about.

Obesity is not always about the amount of calories you eat. If your digestive system is more efficient at processing your food, you will get more from it and will be heavier. If your digestive system is not as efficient, you will process less of it, poop more of it out, and weigh less.

Because duckduckgo don't bubble you and track you.
They are also popular because you can hack the code.

I haven't used google for over 5 years, and I particularly love ddg's instant answers and the fact they utilise OpenStreetMap and Wolfram Alpha, Wikipedia, etc.

Huh, I wasn't even aware they have an image search. It's not shown on the 'lite' interface I use.

How do you trigger it from https://duckduckgo.com/lite/?

A bake-off using the duck meme:

DuckDuckGo

Bing

Google

That's the problem. Given enough time, the odds are 1 that someone evil is going to come along. And as the internet likes to remind me, leaders are sociopaths

I bet you know all the verses to "Kumbaya".

Back in the real world, if you accept that appearance is a crude proxy for genetic makeup, and people of the same race tend to appear more similar to each other, any gene that caused people to favour people similar to themselves would have a huge survival advantage.

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=babies+of+different+races&t=osx&iax=1&ia=images - can you see the hatred in their eyes?

Perhaps he's suggesting that with two huge engines, it'll look rather goggle-eyed? Perhaps a bit like this. That's the best i could up with, at any rate...

I've found DuckDuckGo to be consistently better (which wasn't always the case for me, but is now), particularly when searching development topics. Oftentimes, it'll show a preview of the top answer from StackOverflow above the search results. Mind you, not just the link, but the answer itself. Super helpful for quick answers to dealing with weird error messages. And if I want to skip the DDG search results entirely, I can use their bangs (e.g. !sof for Stack Overflow, !w for Wikipedia, !a for Amazon, !gm for Google Map, etc.) to immediately run the search I typed into my browser's search bar on the site I want to go to.

  I tried DDG years ago and found its results lackluster, but after trying it again last year, I fell in love and have been using more and more of it since.

Sure, now.

But check back in 70 years, or 5 millennia, and see if it still is.

I knew it was racist in its effects. But I hadn't heard it was deliberately so, before now.

Conveniently, not a single US politician mentioned in the released data.

Bullshit. For one example, Podesta-brothers have already been outed in numerous online publications.

Much like how Jupiter doesn't suck in asteroids?

The primary benefit of eating meat is the nutritional density. A but of beef provides more energy than all the kale you can eat.

A 4 oz Beef Ribeye Steak has 280 calories.
4 oz (dry) of White Rice has 448 calories.

How many vegans do you know with physically or mentally demanding jobs?

Olympic athletes all "carb-load", they do NOT meat-load. And dare I mention Sumo wrestlers? The vast majority of their calories come from rice, with a little bit of meat really only for flavor.

With a diet of rice, potatoes, beans, pasta, etc., it's quite easy to be physically fit without eating any meat, and no high-tech dietary studies or supplements are required.

In fact, there's a huge number of major athletes who are strict vegans:

Mirco Bergamasco Rugby player Italy
Brendan Brazier Ironman triathlete Canada
Luke Cummo MMA Fighter United States
Mac Danzig MMA Fighter United States
Steph Davis Rock climber United States
Amy Dumas Wrestler United States
Jon Fitch MMA Fighter United States
David Haye Boxer United Kingdom
Eric Johnson NFL football player United States
Scott Jurek ultramarathoner United States
Jim Morris Bodybuilder United States
Pat Neshek Baseball player United States
Jake Shields MMA Fighter United States
Christine Vardaros Professional cyclist United States
Alexey Voyevoda Bobsledder Russia
Griff Whalen NFL football player United States
James Wilks MMA Fighter United States
Ricky Williams NFL football player United States
Mike Zigomanis Ice hockey player Canada

And last but not least:
Carl Lews Track and field athlete, who won 10 Olympic medals, nine gold, and 10 World Championships medals, eight gold.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

The fact that your comment got modded-up so highly, despite you clearly not doing one web search for "vegan athlete" to try and verify the veracity of your baseless world view, is a clear sign of how far /. has fallen into irrelevancy and worthlessness.

There are Internet ready alarm clocks available. The one I have sets the time on boot, and regularly syncs a time server.

Gosh, I'd love to find the link and read the whole context of your Daniel Webster quote. I tried to googled it, and my meager search skills were unable to locate the source

I was interested too and I found it with DuckDuckGo. You can read the quote on an NRA website and in the Washington Post.

Golly. It worked with air traffic control software.

Some special-purpose government computerized system -- perhaps air traffic control, perhaps military weapons system, perhaps research sonar or some such, I forget -- is so old it runs software under an emulator for the old hardware, because the old hardware became unavailable. That much I am certain about.

What I'm only vaguely recalling, which may not be right, is that the replacement hardware also became obsolete, so they're running a second emulator on a second type of replacement hardware. Surely that can't be true.

Back to air traffic control. They're finally getting to where they can start slowly phasing in their new system. They're being cautious. Which is good, because there were some Murphy's Law problems during the parallel-production roll-out for one zone, as one would expect. That was a couple years ago.

Time for me to see what the Internet has to say about it, lately. http://duckduckgo.com/?q=air.t...

Why?!? Why should I waste time complaining and otherwise raising awareness, when I can just call Uber and pursue happiness?

Competition is a wonderful thing — no wonder Illiberal Statists hate it.

If taxi drivers are expected to live up to professional standards, they'll actually behave like professionals

You mean, like those professional folks at the DMV? Or the toll-collectors? Or the public school teachers? No, dear, what ensures professional behavior is the fear of losing one's job. See also "benevolence of the butcher".

Slashdot has become an apologist and cover for the machine organization since changing hands.

I know why journalism sucks these days.

I'll bet they're using a bunch of these. Always works for me! Just don't hook a terminal up to them if player characters are a threat....

To get an idea of just how wrong headed your arguments are here's a small sample of articles that dig into the reality of mass surveillance: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=surv... The US is a rogue nation that no longer follows the rule of law (or its own constitution), ignoring Geneva conventions, conventions on human and civil rights, etc. That the US declares its mass surveillance on its allies to be legal is not surprising. That what they are doing is wrong has nothing to do with whatever declarations the offending regime (the US) makes. And yes, the five eyes do re-route our internet traffic so that it passes through govt. controlled exchanges. That's why it's being called global dragnet surveillance.

Just remember that whatever the US gets comfortable with doing to others abroad - Things like black sites, torture, ignoring habeas corpus, etc. - eventually get brought home to be used on its own marginalised and disenfranchised citizens, as we've recently seen from the former US torturer in Iraq who ran Chicago PD's infamous black site. Basically, a domestic version of Abu Ghraib. Be careful what behaviour you defend.

Pictures are more helpful to explain. The piping to the water cooling:

https://images.duckduckgo.com/...

The cooling water pipes goes all around the back door of the rack. Water goes in one pipe and out the other. Then the heat is carried off using an air to water exchanger. What worries me is whether they are recycling the water or just wasting the mains water supply.

Pound is worth more than you think!

There's quite a bit of regulation on food, animal feed, and drugs for both. Unfortunately there was a large campaign to free the supplement market from having to comply with most of those regulations. It is why homeopathy can claim to cure shot when it does nothing. There is an old video from the campaign that basically says the FDA is going to arrest you for taking vitamins, complete with cinematic production quality and a celebrity so you know you can trust them.

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=mel+...

The Food Safety Modernization Act is going to address most of the remaining loopholes in food and feed, but it still doesn't touch the dietary supplements market unfortunately. They have too strong of a lobby in congress. Hopefully shot like this will erode their support.

So, is "barcode injection" jargon now? Apparently. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=barc...

Wow! Google search initial web page: 177,128 bytes.

I just switched to DuckDuckGo. Initial web page: 5,255 bytes.

Google has become an extremely abusive company. Many web pages load something from Google, so Google is tracking us wherever we go.

The Slashdot home page loads these from Google:
1) google-analytics.com
2) googleadservices.com
3) googletagservices.com

Hot water+this. Place in driver's seat

For comparison a normal L2 32A (single phase) charger costs about the same with installation. Tesla must be subsidising their's.

I wish everyone could agree on a standard for charging. In the UK we have L2 "commando" style and Chademo 50kW, but also 20kW CCS. Then Tesla have their own thing as well, and the adapter for Chademo is rubbish (it charges very slowly).

By L2 commando, do you mean the type 2 Mekennes plug (image: https://images.duckduckgo.com/...) ?

To make things even more complicated, there are quite a number of 3-pin (240V, 13amp) public charging posts as well.
