My current Windows machine has never crashed. Updates are generally seen as a positive thing. I'm not aware of a security fault in any of my Windows machines over the last 15 years.
You might as well point out that Linux doesn't make you set up EMM386.

i honestly feel like jack dorsey is just flailing at this point looking for a way to not pay people to just sit down and get rid of the creeps
biometrics won't solve anything. nobody has or wants the devices. i'll leave twitter before i start giving them my biodata, and i almost guarantee everyone else will
this just comes down to twitter can't accept that their absurd extremist free speech stance leads to constant abuse and a dramatically limited platform
okay, now compare that to pulling oil out of the ground, cracking it, chemically treating it, turning it into plastic, moulding it, and shipping it across the world half a dozen times
I lost my five star while Uber's rider ratings were still leaking, because a driver went to the wrong location, and felt that I should walk seven blocks to meet them, and when I said no, they felt that that was worth a one-star.
According to Uber's customer service staff, they even confirmed that as the reason, but Uber still feels that the rating should stand, because as a rider, I should not have the expectation of being picked up within a mile of my location.
My impression of Uber's customer service is rather poor, as a result.
to reject a pull request that eliminates a gendered pronoun on the principle that pronouns should in fact be gendered would constitute a fireable offense for me and for Joyent.
Back here in the real world, this is how this sounds:
"Ben decided that someone was making changes to the codebase that had no technical purpose, which served solely to push someone's weird social agenda and desperation to modify the language to suit them, as well as to refer to anything which went otherwise as sexist. Since this is pointless, and since Ben has been in communities where this created unnecessary shitstorms, Ben rejected the PR in the hope of preventing a bunch of drama-driven developers from wasting a year complaining about unimportant things. When Isaac decided to merge the PR, Ben felt slighted: he had been given the authority to make these decisions, and Isaac decided to make a social point that Ben would get trampled no matter what."
That's all fine and good. One developer is being a neckbeard about not wanting to hear a cry of oppression in something that has nothing to do with social justice. The other developer is being a neckbeard about being all inclusive no matter the tone.
Then you get to the point that adults are angry about.
and if he had been, he wouldn't be as of this morning: to reject a pull request that eliminates a gendered pronoun on the principle that pronouns should in fact be gendered would constitute a fireable offense for me and for Joyent.
That says "we value Ben so little that our disagreement over the nature of an unimportant, purely social justice related, non-technical PR would have caused us to fire him on the spot, instead of to have a discussion."
That's *ridiculous*. Employers have an obligation to their employees to create safety and stability. There is no legitimate cause on God's green earth for that to be a fireable offense. Joyent's management are PR-oriented children, and that you're standing up for them is an embarrassment to the 'movement' you're trying to rationalize.
I am a gay and trans ally.
But nobody should get anything sterner over something like that than a stern talking to. That's *obscene*.
Target and K-Mart understand consumers far better than you ever will. Target's the company that knows people are pregnant before they do themselves.
Despite that you disagree with this, your extremely superficial read is probably self serving.
It is very likely that protestor revenue loss simply outweighs game loss after the high sales launch. I expect that they know exactly what they're doing.
The worst thing I can think of in The Bible is the Great Flood.
If you think that's ten times worse than anything that happens in video games, I think you might need to play some more video games. That doesn't even cover Final Fantasy materia.
Sephiroth will straight up destroy Saturn like five separate times per fight while trying to kill you.
I agree, pretending that a company choosing to not sell an item in its stores is a form of censorship is likely to get you karma on Slashdot, despite being critically incorrect.

You guys are arguing about Windows 95.

Sure, sure.

Why? Their auditors bailed when they couldn't find assets to back the coin, which is just the more severe form of the same damn scam

"Why do drivers keep making the same mistakes? It looks like eight of the top ten causes of death on the highway are the same as they were in 2013."
Um because this shit is difficult, and if you don't know anything about it, it's easy to ask vapid generalized questions that seem meaningful.
The sum chance, not the per-time chance, yes. The same is true of all stochastic processes.
It's like saying "the sum of flipping a coin every second and having at least 100 total tails results increases over time."
It's because more trials are constantly being held.
There's also a chance that life will emerge on Earth a second time.
I can get XBox games on my PC right now, for the most part. They're in Microsoft store, they're on Origin, et cetera.
I go to Steam because it's easy to find funky stuff and there's always a sale.
The XBox app won't change that.
I am unable to explain how dis-appetizing this ending choice of phrasing was.
This may be the first textual diet suppressor.

The terrorists will take it that way, yes.
Sony should release, even in a limited way. Online would be great.
All they've done is taught attackers that they can force our media around.
Really disappointed in everyone involved here. Especially the cinemas. At least Sony *was* going to follow through.
Oh nonsense.

Hopefully nobody notices that they still sell Lifetime specials and so forth in their TV section.
Maybe Romper Stomper and Mad Max got through on local cultural relevance.
Generally, actually, yes, the model predicting outcomes does mean that the model is accurate. That is the purpose and evaluation of models.
If you disagree, please inform us what does mean that the model is accurate, or possibly assert that models are not judged as accurate.
