I can't afford to show up at work sweating and rumpled. That has been the case since I quit my job at a pizza kiosk when I was 16. Where I live now (as in most of the American North) it would be too dangerous to bike to work in the winter. In the south where it's reasonable social change would need to happen far beyond concerns about health. To wit the whole concept of "looking professional" would have to change or companies would have to generally all offer showers, lockers, and a short break to change clothes upon arrival. This is aside from the fact that many Americans live much further from their jobs than Europeans, and without equivalent public transportation. We live in different societies. Deal with it.
If they want to degrade the service they offer to this extent it just makes it that much easier for the next big thing to come around and put them out of business. It's extremely easy to use a different website for almost any purpose. Those sites that become arrogant and think they own their users collapse pretty quickly.
Okay, but what about the people you don't want on there? What about spammers, child pornographers, drug dealers, assassins, catfish, and Nazi sympathizers?
Screw that, I'm not voting for a lizard. I'm voting Mickey Mouse in 2020. Unless he denuclearizes and stabilizes North Korea, in which case I'll campaign for him.
Even if you support tariffs against China for their poor regulations and human rights these tariffs are stupid. It costs billions of dollars to make a new chip foundry. Do you seriously think anyone will build one in America before the president after Trump (whether that's in 2020 or 2024) undoes these tariffs? It's not going to force any changes in China, just remove money from the pockets of the American consumer and put it into the pockets of the American government.
As time has passed, I've become aware of it. I've realized I'm part of this problem. I just see them and the temptation is too great. I know it's wrong. I know it hurts everyone. But when I see one of these teasing, taunting.... oooh I just have to get in there. Yes these sjw stories on Slashdot have me in a pickle. But I'm almost over it now. I'm finally ready to move on and not click on them.
Microsoft ultimately is looking to bring Cortana and Search together into a single engineering team.
As we all know, Microsoft wants complete access to all of your information. Cortana is how they're using to try to obtain that. They believe the convenience of being able to ask one entity for any information on or off the computer will suffice to convince most people to roll over and allow said total access. Obviously they could keep the two functions separate, but then what excuse would they have for their spying?
Amazon likes to use temp agencies to make it look like they're treating people better. "third party" employees can be underpaid, treated like shit, and so forth without it impacting the numbers.
Having a company track my every movement is unacceptable. I don't mind a driverless car, but damned if I'm willing to agree to send data about where my car is at all times to a company or to the government. That constitutes a warrantless search. What's worse, the government and the company get to decide whether to *allow* the car to go somewhere.
And how long after death do these actors and studios think they can control the IP? Today's multi-million-dollar 3D model of Arnold Schwarzenegger for high budget movies is tomorrow's third-rate-resolution model of an old movie star, is the next day's framework for free 3D gay porn. There are only so many Mickey Mouses and James Bonds that people will care about so much later.
The standard complaints about drugs, antibiotics, and surfactants will certainly be suspect, but I wonder whether migration patterns might be affected by roads. It certainly must at least be putting some evolutionary pressure on the beasties what with the slabs of hot, dangerous pavement blocking things off every which way.
It requires jobs. Not it provides jobs. If the government is taking money to do something that's a net weight on the economy, even when they hire people with the money. They're taking those people's time in return for the money, so that's barely better than break even on the employment side. And the taxes they're using make it into a negative. It's unusual and refreshing to see the proper perspective on government spending.
On this topic the percentage completed is irrelevant. It's sunk cost. It could be 99% complete, but if it would cost more than its worth it shouldn't be done.
You pretend to be trying to bring people together but everyone knows you're polarizing and trying to grab power. At some point in the future things will come to a head. You will have nabbed every last weak-willed individual around. You will have burned too many rubes, abused too many men, suffocated too many women. You'll have all the people you can ever recruit. And standing against you will be all the people who couldn't be convinced by your bigotry and lies. And that's going to be a whole lot more people than you have. And they'll be stronger. And they'll be smarter. What's your end game? Might want to think about that while you still have the chance to back down.
The US military has greatly shortened its time to equipment improvement. Strategic purchases are now requested, implemented, and delivered in months instead of years when they're urgently needed.
Nice ad hom. Now try actually contributing to the conversation. I'll start.
Whether developers can or cannot legally rescind their code the new CoC is absolutely guaranteed to drive away people who believe their contributions are more important than their genitals. For that reason alone this is not going to turn out well.
Anyone watching the interviews with half a brain can see it: Elon needs to step back and take a break before he falls apart. If you ask me he's a world treasure. A higher chance of him being productive later is the best thing for us, for himself, and for his companies. Whether he takes this deal or not he should focus a higher percentage of his efforts on delegation. He should create a team of ten of the best engineers in the world and, yes, two board members and he should delegate more than half of his work to them.

This won't go anywhere; the internet makes underwear ads obsolete.
There should be.

Get your own platform, they said.

No, he would have been extradited to the US.
The other imprisonment will be in a little concrete sensory deprivation box.

Because despite what its proponents claim, when the rubber hits the road it replaces meritocracy with the progressive stack.
