Greenpeace was founded by Boomers and is ran by Gen X'ers, which includes those who set the stunt up. The only Millenials I saw were the ones posing for photos.
What will end up happening is that those $500 iPod Classics will stay in their boxes and be sold for $3k a few years down the road. Same kind of thing happened with old NES/Gameboy Games, etc.
If they wanted a music player without a touch-screen, well, there are hundreds of those not made by Apple.
The people that want these are hoarders and price manipulators.
It's disappointing there's not a single suggestion for a Lego set.
Mostly, it seems like a list of chic-gimmick-junk. Not the kinds of things I would want for a gift.
That was the part where you are just victim-blaming. You have no idea what happened. For all you know, she was an expert in Krav Maga, which frankly, wouldn't be worth shit if she was a 110 lbs and trapped in a taxi.
In any case, it seems they were looking for any excuse at all to ban Uber... considering this *MIGHT* have happened *ONCE* (hasn't even been a trial or arrest), but is still used as justification for an outright ban.
I think it is perfectly okay to ask those questions and investigate. But that isn't what Watson did. He went into the public eye and made some very racist and inflammatory statements from his 'scientific' opinion without ANY science or conclusive data to back it up.
Pulling 'I'm a Nobel prize winner and I think Africans are genetically and mentally inferior to everyone else' out of your ass will certainly not win you any friends. To follow that up with 'oh, and women are inferior too' can certainly make you an enemy.
I write software as a career. I don't do marathon coding sessions or any of the ridiculous self sacrificing stuff that some seem to think is the norm (and seems to be the cause of people burning out within a few years and switching career paths).
Maybe I have been fortunate finding a work that values optimal performance for the time worked over just tons of time, but I certainly feel you can have it both ways (software and work-life balance).
Absolutely agree... sacrificing part of who you are is not a recipe for enduring success. Idiotic and naive platitudes like "Happy wife, happy life" is why the divorce rate is north of 50%.
It is... that is what they are doing right now. In comparison, Windows has had hard lockup bugs in every major version of the OS that I have used from Windows 95 to 7, and those have never been and will never be fixed.
The fact that this is even brought to the spotlight shows the miracle of open source.
Why not? Despite the expert knowledge on firearms you gained from watching Robocop, guns are not instant-off switches for humans. Unless Brown was struck in the head (he wasn't), none of those shots would have been immediately incapacitating.
And that is if you even managed to make a successful argument that the number of shots somehow changed the morality of it.
Let's not dick around on the nonsensical euphemism treadmill.
We are talking about skin color. Not "ethnic" or "colored" or "negro" or "people of color" or "African American". The appropriate term, IMO, being inoffensive and also accurate to the topic, would be "black".
I think the point of his last sentence was making the point more elegantly than what you parroted back at him.
But anyways, I will laugh when we do punch through the ice on Europa and the probe finds itself in a jelly-like biofilm that harvests energy from whatever tectonics or tidal energy is imparted by Jupiter. Or something else so (rightfully) alien that there are no good biological analogs on Earth.
The part that makes it trolling is that even if Europe did depend on the U.S. in WWII to save it's butt, that has no relevancy on whether it is right or wrong for the E.U. to consider breaking up Google.
And I am sure you would agree with me had you heard an American use that same argument to try to justify some heinous crime in Europe.
Also, is it just me or do Shakrai and sabri look an awful lot like sock puppets?
I use mass transit, living near the DC Metro area.
It is practical for about 5% of what I need to do, because I don't live inside the city (and I'd never want to).
And it is that way for the reasons listed above. Takes too long, doesn't go where I need it to, never will go where I need it to, costs more than driving, doesn't fit my time tables. If I was stuck in the NYC rat trap, I am sure it would be a different story, but I am part of the majority of Americans that don't live in NYC, L.A., or Chicago.
I counter your weak anecdote with my weak anecdote about living on the top floor of a well built apartment but having neighbors below pound on the ceiling every time our 14 lb dog steps or jingles his collar too loud.
Puh-lease. This has been an existing vector of attack on companies for at least a decade now, and several high profile breaches from this vector shape current policy in secure areas.
Old news.
My advice to OP: treat all USB peripherals (mice, wireless cards, storage, etc) as malicious unless they come from trusted/vetted supply chains. And even then, be suspicious.
Fortunately for the average consumer, China at a state level is interested in stealing valuable technology and company secrets, not in your personal banking information.
Being an actual professional software developer, I can definitely say that with the exception of equations, I have never copied code from the internet and have never seen that as an expectation (any more than an author plagiarising paragraphs in their books).
There are legal (copyright/licensing) and ethical issues with doing so (for example, being complacent and treating code on the internet as having some level of vetting).
If I need functionality that I feel already exists or is too dangerous/time consuming to write any my own... well... that is what libraries were made for. Or I contact the legal department about procuring the source so that I can modify it to fit my own needs.
Yea, this article is bogus. The land speed record for a motorized bicycle (a.k.a., motorcycle) is 376mph (606 km/h).
Interestingly, a jet powered tricycle (not much different than a rocket powered bicycle) was not only not counted as a pedaled craft (like a bicycle) or a motorcycle when it smashed a record at 526 mph (847 km/h), but as a thrust powered car.
I guess the point is that these definitions are kinda arbitrary, but I'd think a reasonable definition would be: two wheeled vehicles that roll and set their record on the ground and are human powered are bicycles... if they are propelled by something other than the human, they are motorcycles.
You act as if it is a problem with their government, and not a cultural problem with the Italian people.
In any case, the Italian court sense of morality is flawed (or their legal system doesn't fit with morality...). The geologists have a moral obligation to not harm, not to save, though saving the town would have been admirable.
The idea that all people in prison deserve whatever abuse because they did something morally wrong to get there doesn't make sense in theory (one can be both victimiser and a victim), let alone in practice given that law and morality sometimes match up and oftentimes do not. That meaning that there are plenty of people in prison for doing nothing wrong, or even doing the right thing.
And that might not sway your black-and-white view of the world, but I am certain you would feel differently if you were Muslim, Jewish, or Hindu being fed only pork (or beef in the case of being Hindu). Being arbitrarily forced to choose between conviction and survival with no need for it is akin to torture (certainly cruel and unusual).

just sitting there and being a victim

JFYI, much of the world uses '.' As the thousands separator.
That Africans have, on average, lower IQs, is a scientific fact, and the ostracization of Watson is just political correctness
is complete bullshit and why Watson was rightfully ostracized for making the claims that lower IQs were inherent to the race without conclusive data.
I think it is perfectly okay to ask those questions and investigate. But that isn't what Watson did. He went into the public eye and made some very racist and inflammatory statements from his 'scientific' opinion without ANY science or conclusive data to back it up.

Given how many of the transactions were on Silk Road (kiddie porn and drugs)...
But I guess maybe that is just consistent with the idiot speculators and the value bubble.
Tape sales have dropped in half, but tape capacity has increased 3-fold in the same time.
I would imagine that those who were using more than 1 tape 6 years ago to do their backups would require fewer tapes now to do the same job.
Maybe their niche is still rock solid (albeit stagnant), but technological development of the product has reduced demand.
Stand Your Ground laws were not applicable to the Zimmerman/Martin case and were not argued in court.
The only idiots parroting "Stand Your Ground" were the media and people listening to the media.
Why not? Despite the expert knowledge on firearms you gained from watching Robocop, guns are not instant-off switches for humans. Unless Brown was struck in the head (he wasn't), none of those shots would have been immediately incapacitating.

So, your argument is blaming the victim?
