disenfranchising users and using them as exploitable cannon fodder to be sucked on! Who owns and controls my computer? Some dork in a far away country living out his/her power trips or is it the insatiable, money greedy, total out of touch, higher-upper robot-C?O acting in delusion what needs to be done.
For chrissake, if you want to do anything on the hardware and software I paid for, kindly ask me and give me a choice.
Run fiddler on startup and see who has his dirty fingers in the box in your room. Is this just a bad dream and when will it be over?
Adamantix over 10 years ago but got silent after version 2 or so. Tried to find their soure recently- impossible. Would have been great to get it to current HW compatibility. End of old story.
disenfranchising people of their own power to decide for themselves.
The decisions are already made _for_ people what to look, get offered and is "good" for THEM instead of allowing the individuals it themselves from a choice based on their own unique criteria on an unbiased search tool.
Wishful thinking, sure....
One example I came across recently in justifying the removal of Android App Ops quoting restaurant search and GPS location to serve the right result in one's area.
Total hogwash! If one wants a restaurant close by, one would type in "Greek restaurant" near - no GPS location for any search app would be needed. Enabling the GPS location will allow other factors outside of the individual to influence the result.
What tis this Apple-Shit doing with one's bank balance info? Modifying based on criteria totally outside of one's control, creating and storing more complex data about one, for what?
Creating a totally hypnotized society since this reality is eaten with cell-web access nowadays from early childhood on without any critical thinking ability.
Welcome to the automaton anthill under construction!
I got my hand on a MS Surface today and.. I did not like it! Can't glide two fingers on an object to zoom or shrink an object or glide to scroll in an object like the file browser but have to fiddle with a tiny vertical scrollbar to move the inner content.Seems they have some magnifying mode which I experienced as horrible, anxious to get out of it as quickly as possible. Seems not to be on todays state of art level with their interface.
If it takes 2 hours to go with public transport and 30 minutes with a car you can't lure anyone with free rides. US Is a car country - didn't they rip out tram rails in LA to make more people use freeways or because they were no longer needed? Maybe an urban legend? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... I need to go to a supermarket, 2 miles away - public transport currently a free ride in this city: call some number to get picked up and then call a number again to get driven back, not very attractive - walk with a backpack, not very attractiver - bicycle - maybe... Probably will take the car.
Maybe in a more densely populated area with a regular and frequent bus service this would be doable. Bus goes every 45 minutes from the next corner and passes by a supermarket, it would work.
Trains have different safety requirements than planes - there are illuminated flow markers on the floor, artificial atmosphere pressure, emergency procedures - all in all a totally different environment. Good luck to the folks sorting this out this dehumanizing effort.
I observe ticket prices on a particular route overseas and five years ago, it was in the area of $ 700 - $ 800, if one was lucky, even lower by $ 100. What I am seeing now is something like double of that, $ 1500 - $ 1800 and higher. All on Economy. On the way from there - 5 years ago to now, what have I seen...
Food served to be disgusting, charges for luggage which was free before, Allowable luggage weight decreased and now the size of allowable cabin luggage is apparently adjusted down - one needs to buy another carry-on case.
Then we have the 2-class check-in sequence. Is it efficient to load the plane from front to back - sure no, back to front would be the choice where the passengers coming in first would not interfere with the one's already at their seat stowing their luggage into the upper bins.
Nothing like this happens - first the front of the plane is loaded - first class, then business class, then the largest volume, economy after that, also in reverse, lower number rows first, obstructing the flow of incoming people with higher rows.
There are some planes where the "better" people have their own entrance door at the front.
All in all, another dehumanizing experience for the majority of travelers and the underlying reason for this is????
Please apply it to political power plays, clandestine operations, secretive courts and legal systems, like tort law https://www.law.cornell.edu/we...
A million years will pass and there will still be lies! Besides, who plays big brother and hoards all data in secrecy? Can all be manipulated at will, thats a permanent lie right there.
English... how about other's, like Hebrew, for example? Or folks not writing in their native language on forums/social networks but in English which may be substantial. Sounding sarcastic, critical, suicidal or otherwise emotional may not be authentic. Not sure what the actual benefit would be using this and how many false positives this could create if some institution like DHS would use such a thing.
On Yahoo Email, there are mandatory ad emails showing on top and one cannot delete those. If you click on one under Firefox, a link opens but is blocked. Looks the more BS they produce the more desperate they get and produce even more crap. Digging their own grave it seems. Maybe it has to do with the "upper crust people" beeing control freaks and out of touch with reality when things don't go like they should in their minds.
The higher up the heads are, the thinner the air gets and with less oxygen, brain function diminishes. Blown up heads don't affect this. Quite the opposite, with less density, oxygen can escape even better.
For what it's worth, CPR is a last ditch procedure, only recommended when the patient is otherwise effectively dead. You're improving a 0% survival to a 6% one.
Upon "survival", with a 50 % chance being a veggie. Have you ever seen a brain dead human on live support, maybe a loved one? The convulsions, twitching, empty eyes, nobody home? By my papers, very bad odds ending up like that and doctors being in the business opt out to almost 100 %:
By default in US, CPR will happen unless you have two documents on your body, preferable on your chest: - Advanced Directive for Surgical/Medical Treatment (Living Will) - Patient's or Authorized Agent's Directive to Withhold CPR (may differ from state to state)
If you have to take off, and you will - at least, do it in dignity and at your own terms!
http://www.kevinmd.com/blog/20... Now we see a huge Japanese study of more than 400,000 people who experienced out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, published in the JAMA on March 21, 2012. Approximately 18% of those who were administered CPR and epinephrine did achieve spontaneous circulation but fewer than 5% survived 1 month and fewer than 2% survived 1 month with good or moderate cerebral performance.
"Despite the mind-blowing possibilities", "ground breaking" - ????
1000 Mice killed with a 0 success rate and primates next. 1.6 Million funding so far - more to come, as it seems. What is the actual benefit, how many humans would be able to take advantage of such a procedure at what success rate and which result?
Just for reference, the much hailed CPR has a success rate of - depending where one looks - 6 or 10 % and of those, half have maybe a halfway liveable life, the other half will be tied to an artificial reparator working against their native breath rythm for the rest of their remaining life, not considering remaining mental capacities.
If it really happens that someone gets injured to bad that a new head would be adequate - or, the other way around, the body is wasted and a replacement could be helpful (?)... is this worth it?
All sounds pretty much sick to me. Some ego trip of doing something somebody has never done and wasting living creatures en mass for this. Maybe a mandatory mental health check should be done on a couple of individuals running those projects before start. Seems basic respect for life in general is missing here.
... Give me capitalism, even with the wide gap between the rich and poor, because in that system the poor are better off and there is at least the chance of working one's way above their current station.
a - there is research about the spread in income/wealth and societies where this spread is smaller, people are happier, so your claim "better off" = "happier" goes towards pipe dream.
b - your fairy tale about the chance being able to "just work your way up, the opportunity is there", that's the religious opium pipe dream spread creating hope to simple people and if you just look at the reality of the US educational system - equal opportunity for everyone, sure. You can find societies/countries where such a slanted system does not exist and they fare better in life experience.
Yawn.... look at the history, the holy cow of "investing", stock market, mutual funds, compound interest, and what else have you on the current favorite fairy tales resulting in periodic crashes and always the larger part of a population is at a disadvantage and suffering.
There is no doubt that the wealth of the larger part of general population along with effective income is shrinking and may have never been different - the so-called American Dream may have been working for a short period after WW II and became another pipe-dream as it is now.
Just look at the US "democracy" - a totally corrupt undertaking; every politician is "bribed" or won't exist.
A consequence of what? Amassing of wealth and power in a small segment of population and all this is driven to a great part by the hyped Indexes where ups and downs are announced on all public media and people getting hypnotized by it's moves from early childhood on, imprinted for life as a religion.
Stock- or commodity market values are speculative, Netherlands(?) tulip frenzy comes to mind. That this system fails does not seem to enter peoples mind since the greed of getting rich or more rich overrides everything else.
What one my think about is who will have to work and pay for all those "profits" taken and why the "bubble up" to the top - what is it - 1 % works to groom the cream of the crop even more and the propaganda of "trickle down" is a fairy tale.
be put alone in a corner where they feel very very unwell? Something like a podest, where they have to stand on, maybe chained and everyone is free to spit at them. At one point, enough will be enough.
Not sure if it's a "good" thing for "us" to be here. Mass extinction of species, ongoing wars and killings, the whole refugee situation in the mediterrian sea, human world population growth unmanageable, denial of climate change facts, a US representative claiming the earth being 6k years old.. Bigger sunspots would be just like that, bigger sunspots without all the other nonsense.
ordering those kind of actions getting slapped in any way? Criminal investigation, putting those crooks in court - anything like that? No, company pays for it, and in end stockholders and customers. And, not to forget who else gets a cut on those deals? Any idea, like lawyers, negotiators, what their compensations are on those with those numbers - all behind closed doors for good reasons... Sure, they don't have to deal with minimum or living wage issues.
... - witness the guy who intentionally flew the airliner into the mountain and killed all on board..."
This is how single events, as disastrous as the may be, are used by demagogues to play their game. Look at the NSA complex, drone-strikes on "suspects", torture beautified as enhanced interrogation etc. nibbling away on individual's rights and general freedoms previously seen as granted.
You got talent and should go into politics, if you not already are.
Those fine particles spewed out from truck exhausts in those bullies crawling uphill going in your lungs - not an issue at all - that would go against the contractually granted right in the TPP for Chinese truck manufacturers to make profit.
