And yet by harping on it, you miss the forest for the trees. Given that the key information is that IBM sold (thing that helped exterminate Jews) to the Nazis.
In this case, the thing was a tabulator and was very much a forerunner of mainframe computing.
If you had kept reading, you would have seen that the new theory (backed by experimental evidence) is that it's the light level that makes the difference.
It's not at all justifiable. Yes, they have to check out all reports, but they do not have to be hamfisted about it. They certainly aren't justified in doing the children and their parents more harm than the parents were alleged to have done. They could ask a few questions, tick a few boxes and then apologize for the intrusion.
Oh, don't worry. They still refuse to acknowledge any wrongdoing. They also refuse to acknowledge any harm they do to children when they 'interrupt' parental custody and leave the children perpetually afraid that bad people (that is, CPS) will steal them away again. They also fail to acknowledge that too often, conditions for kids in the system would meet criteria for taking them away if they weren't already in the system.
You obviously missed a lot there. A lot of people get phones on contract because their bill won't go down even an iota if they bring their own phone with them. Naturally they figure if they're paying for a phone anyway, they might as well actually get a phone.
And note that many phones don't port very well because each network does things a bit differently.
It's also necessary to consider that it is only due to regulation that people can get their phone unlocked AFTER they have paid for it.
And the $500/month drugs some people take cost $2 to produce a month's worth. Cheap to produce doesn't at all translate to cheap for the end user for anything related to medicine.
Not really, no. Your memory is oddly (I might say pointedly) selective.
You know we had internet before 1995, right? That many of the advances happened after a regulatory nuclear option was deployed to shake things up, right?You know, the one that the anti-regulatory people decried as interference.
That we went from a human being physically connecting pairs of wires together to place a call to automated routing of digital packets through virtual circuits.
Perhaps you missed that touch tone came out during that 'stagnant' period.
When the regulations were relaxed, we saw our internet connectivity options shrink and ossify. We went from dozens of choices in a given area to 1 or 2.
Cellular service started well before the regulatory change. The big driver to the vast improvements there was a matter of signal processing and denser and more powerful ICs. Had we had better regulation like in Europe, all of our phones would freely port from one network to the other just by switching sim cards. There would be no issue of phones being SIM locked or technologically stuck with one provider. We wouldn't have all the random over-billing and over-priced service we have now.
Sure it will. It gets you nearly halfway to the goal. It's not like there's this one CO2 source out there that we shut off or don't. It also buys more time to get the rest done. s long as we don't do something stupid like put up mission accomplished banners and rest on our laurels, it's a fine beginning.
Like I said, you have failed to recognize the middle ground.
More seriously, I would think for that environment fanless and sealed is the way to go. Thermally conduct internal heat to a metal case. That suggests Atom since Windows isn't supported on Arm.
Failing that, a big box with an air filter and a blower to ventilate it.
Perhaps that's why so many places are trying to encourage development of non fossil fuel energy.
To use your train analogy, when you think a train MIGHT be coming, do you sleep on the tracks anyway and hope the adrenaline surge will let you leap fast enough to only have it chop your feet off if it comes or do you start moving off the tracks?
No, I'm not talking about the call for help cases, I'm talking about things like people jumping from high enough that the chance of survival was close to 0.
Even there, the example is not quite right. The computer needs to decide if it's a paper bag on a tight deadline. It's OK if it still doesn't know at the deadline as long as it applies the brakes assuming it's a child. It's fine if it only 'realizes' after applying the brakes that it's a false alarm.
But, of course none of that is at all related to timekeeping. The exact time of day doesn't alter the problem.

Yes, *someone* is. Read the rest of TFA to find out who!

They probably shouldn't have fought the new regulations then. That would have helped take them out of that legal loop.
Sure, there are such cases. This isn't one of them.

He's not the one frantically scrambling to roll back the regulatory change like the ISPs want.
What, by actually using the service their marketing department promised?
Not really, no. Your memory is oddly (I might say pointedly) selective.

Well, since it'll be running windows....
More seriously, I would think for that environment fanless and sealed is the way to go. Thermally conduct internal heat to a metal case. That suggests Atom since Windows isn't supported on Arm.
Failing that, a big box with an air filter and a blower to ventilate it.
That could allow someone to run non-Windows on it, so that's right out.
Based on their current status they seem pretty good at it. They should publish an artic...OH WELL.
It doubles it. Consider 2^2 =4 4^2 = 16. So 2^2^2 = 2^4.
Sorry, but you are wrong. Power is bought and sold across state lines all the time. Ohio is on the same grid as Toronto, N.Y. and Memphis.
Perhaps that's why so many places are trying to encourage development of non fossil fuel energy.

This is France rolling up it's sleeping bag.
And so rather than recognize that there might be a middle ground, you flop over to the other half of the false dilemma.
He also didn't say get rid of NONE of the fossil fuel use.
You got it! We had to destroy the laptop in order to save it...
No, I'm not talking about the call for help cases, I'm talking about things like people jumping from high enough that the chance of survival was close to 0.
So you agree it's a bad decision then.
Even there, the example is not quite right. The computer needs to decide if it's a paper bag on a tight deadline.

I never claimed they were murderers except perhaps in the most extreme cases (for example coordinated psychological abuse).
While not murderers, that doesn't mean they aren't guilty of a lesser offense. We do at least agree that they are reprehensible.
