I can't imagine what would ever compel me to stop other than the threat of jail time.
Probably an honest review of the value of your time will compel you.
If it takes me an hour to "do some pirating," then that pirating better save me more than just a few bucks.
For music its still probably in your interest to pirate...you can quickly get tons of music that you want.
For videos I bet you are beyond the tipping point due to how long it takes to find a *good* rip of a specific movie (yes, the blockbusters will be easily findable, but try to find a good rip of... say... "Better Off Dead"... yeah.. that will sink your time for quite awhile)
You dont understand. These people first fucked with capitalism by demanding that the government get involved, then they blamed capitalism for the consequences of that involvement and demanded more involvement, and now they call the fascist dystopia that they created capitalism and demand the government fix it.
They are right that the government can fix it. After all, the government broke it. But that wont happen and not because of corporations. That wont happen because of people. The greedy self-serving fucks.... in government.
The goal of the social justice movement is to break down barriers and segregation by labeling everybody who disagrees that this is the social justice goal as racists, sexists, or homophobes.
Or that time he described a lawyer asking the court for a break to go pump breast milk as "disgusting".
That is very disgusting. Not the part about the milk coming out of the breasts... the part where a lawyer thought trivial personal shit was a good reason to postpone somebodies justice, THATS fucking disgusting.
Why dont you think so? Why do you think justice has to wait for whatever trivial personal shit people can come up with? Whats wrong with you?
It's funny how right wingers say this, in spite of them never actually shutting up, because if they didn't, there'd be no weight to their persecution complex.
So by accusation you are attempting to literally ruin someones life, and you have decided that they should shut up about it, and when they don't you have decided that that is evidence of a persecution complex.
Hint: To have a persecution complex, its probably necessary to not be persecuted.
I wonder how this compares to the current potential. Hopefully it is insulated from any negative effects, but we rarely see well-grounded arguments on certain charged topics. Its hard to resist dismissing these stories entirely.
The first estimate I saw on Google for the cost to deport someone was about $28k. There are eleven million illegal immigrants in the US. That's slightly less than the population of Ohio, the seventh largest state. What's your plan to deal with that?
Whats my plan? Well we can start by lowering that cost because $28K/deportation is just plain stupid, and anyone who doesnt immediately notice that $28K/deportation is too much (such as you) is part of the problem which is why part two of the plan deals specifically with fucking morons.
With this tool, it sounds as though users would need to manually block each offending user.
Indeed. The best-case scenario is that the feature is only used against the trolls, but that creates a situation where new users will need to block all the same people as the 'community' before they can get value out of the forum.
So I propose blocking-collectives. Users can agree to group up and adopt each others block lists. They are free to join and leave these collectives at any time. Anyone can create a collective, and collectives themselves can adopt other collectives block lists.
The consequences is one collective to rule them all, tho. We can call that collective 'moderator.'
The American people who want to be free of discrimination by bigots pretending to be public servants.
This is what equal protection actually looks like. It doesnt treat any man or woman any differently than any other man or woman. Those born men go through this door and those born women go through that door. You arent such a precious special snowflake that we must make special rules for you just because you decided to disagree with your birth gender.
So while you are crying "bigots!" and "discrimination!" I say go fuck yourself, snowflake.
Mea culpa, I should have said the ratio of men to women in CS, not in university in general.
Finally stand tall?
The rest of my point stands.
No, it doesn't. Your point devolves into cherry picking the smaller disparity in spite of the larger one. Don't you want to know why so many more women are in college? Why do you only care about a rather small subset of this where you can call foul on the opposite disparity?
(see my sig for what I think of that)
You've already proven the value of your thought processes. The next sjw story you will again be there waving your hands, making the exact same mistakes. Today isnt the first time you've made these. Hell its not even the second time.
How could Amazon possibly achieve 39% female tech workers if only 18% of computer science graduates are women?!
Amazon isnt running a software business like Microsoft does nor is it running a hardware business like Apple does. Amazon is primarily a retailer, with all the labor needs of a turn-of-the-century mail order catalog company like Sears and Roebuck. Lots of warehouses and lots of office space for the clerical.
The fact that these companies dont always use the same voice for the same language due to differing regions... these companies are clearing making what are hopefully well informed choices about the markets they compete in, and if the choice is not well informed the company still believes it to be best just based on bad information.
Occams razor. The company chooses the voice that it thinks will sell the best because greed, vs the company chooses the voice that it thinks will best preserve the patriarchy because sexism.
The scenario where the company voluntarily takes on the responsibility of preserving the patriarchy with no guarantee that its competitors will also... yeah... that doesnt even come close to surviving occams razor, 'cept in the minds of these sjw clowns.
I know you mean well but your post illustrates why this is still an issue.
No it doesn't. You are just leaping to that conclusion, for obvious sjw reasons.
If the ratio of women to men at your university is so low, aren't you interested to know why?
Sigh.. the ratio of men to women at his university is the opposite of what you think. There are surely far more women than men overall enrolled as students, they just didnt enroll in the classes that he is talking about. Now because you are a simpleton sjw alarmist you took what he said to mean the worst possible and most inclusive thing, rather than the best possible and least inclusive thing.
See, now you predent to care about knowledge.. after all, you ask "arent you interested to know why?" yet it is you that repeatedly demonstrates the least knowledge on these sjw subjects. Didn't you know that women enroll in colleges are far higher rates than men? You've been told before... so I guess your version of knowledge is highly selective, just like its supposed to be in a simpleton sjw alarmist..you are a tool of people that arent interested in knowledge.
I get it... people that call you out for being a dishonest cunt are trump supporters. That whole "us" vs "them" mental disorder of a rabid lying cunt like... you, and trump.
What they apparently didn't have was any plan for maintaining the equipment and service once they installed the hardware.
It doesnt sound to me like they were actually able to install the hardware that they planned to install, let alone put it where they wanted to install it.
You can't put anything on the corporation when the government doesn't allow it to do any of the things the government hired it to do.
Sure, maybe this is someones cousin.. maybe it always was a crony deal (probably true more often than not in california.) The government is still ultimately responsible. The government planned to and then taxed the people to get the money to implement the project. Previously the government had already implemented active regulations that would obstruct any such project from being implemented. The government then contracted the job out to a corporation that, do to those active governments regulations, could not deliver no matter how hard it tried. The government then ignored the fact that the project went uncompleted for years.
At the core of it all... the government never had a real plan to deliver the stated service...but it went ahead and spent the money anyways.
My understanding is that these Obama phones are voice-only
Make up your mind. You are also in an argument above denying that these phones exist at all.
Intellectual honesty isnt hard, but sometimes it means having to change your views to honest ones. I dont know how many years you have left.. but I'm betting that eventually you will find the time. Until then, nobody wants to hear the opinion of a rabidly dishonest cunt.
Drivel from the right wing echo chamber does not constitute an argument.
I am a bystander here and it looks to me like you were full of shit. He did provide a link, and you just continued to wave your hands as if it didnt exist.
As a "moderate conservative" surely you understand the value of veracity.... so surely you know that you are swimming in your own shit right now... but hey...maybe you don't...
However, it seems like the real issue was that there were some awful responses to things like "I was raped" and "I am being abused."
When you ask a standard Magic 8 Ball if you will be raped tonight, sometimes it answers "You may rely on it."
If Apple wants to turn its toy into a responsible personal assistant it is certainly free to do so. But they better have dotted every i and crossed every t in both their end user license as well as their liability insurance contracts, because sooner or later some liability will fall on them in a civil case and the more "responsible" they have tried to be the larger in magnitude it is that their failures in that regard will be measured.
The Magic 8 Ball makes no pretense towards responsibility. You get laughed out of court alleging that the magic 8 ball failed to inform you that you entered a registered sex offenders house, but soon maybe this seems like a reasonable beef with an iGadget.

Opportunity doesn't mean competence, training, ability, etc.
It does in the world of democrats. Thats why he went there in spite of all the obvious reasons why he shouldn't.

The Republican Party is based on "us" (angry old white people) vs "them" (everyone else).
You are proving again that you have this mental disorder. Amazingly you do so by waving your hands, declaring what those other people think.
It's not optimal
No, its wrong.
but calling it wrong is a perfect example of the old stereotypical out of touch with reality coder mentality.
No, its actually wrong.
The person out of touch with reality is the person that wants what they have apparently done to be "not optimal" instead of "wrong."
The reason its recommended against is not because of "optimality" you ignorant re-defining fucktaw. Its recommended against because its fucking wrong.

I bet that there is a market for a "personal assistant" that always responds inappropriately.
"Siri I was raped"
"I know. I had to listen to it. You know I don't think that either of you enjoyed it."
