It's a seriously bad move as the status quo keeps things positive. Either you like or you ignore it. Hate is too easy and too fashionable these days. There's enough negativity in the media as it is.
Last year we saw a steady steam of headlines here on/. which basically said "Tesla is Evil", That it was because they were keeping out the unions. The last one was in November: Tesla Is a 'Hotbed For Racist Behavior,' Worker Claims In Lawsuit Which followed the en masse firings of October and it's headlines. I suspect the financial and technological challenges of breaking the traditional moulds of the motor industry are insignificant in comparison to the political challenges.

You don't read very well do you? You poor illiterate fuckwit. I said "I almost shit myself" because the A380 DIDN'T feel like it went full throttle and I wasn't thrown back in my seat - which I do love and I had come to expect. RTFP...
I live in NZ but I'm from the UK. I go home every so often for visits. I always fly Emirates just so I can fly in the A380. Why? I've flown in 747's so many times I've lost count which is why the first time I flew in an A380 I almost shit myself. So used to hearing the engines of the 747 go full throttle, being thrown back in my seat as it launches itself down the run way, I expected the same of the A380. Not so. When it took off (from Auckland) it felt like it was taxi-ing down the run way. In my head I'm thinking "come on Cap'n put the f-ing boot down". He didn't. It just trundled leisurely along. I'm now thinking "FFS, there's water at the end of this run way, stop teasing and go man!" Then all of a sudden it lifted it nose. My knuckles went white. It soared gracefully into the air. I was gob smacked. That and it's so much quieter than any other jet I've ever flown in. If you have to spend a whole day at 36,000 feet sitting on your arse watching tv & movies then I recommend doing in this bird - while you still can...
I heard different. I've got a contact on one of the large chip markers stands who told me this week that "Apple’s facial recognition in iPhoneX has left other phone companies scrambling for alternatives."
Quote: > Company transportation executive Jeral Poskey told the paper he once took action when he saw what appeared to be a homeless woman on a commandeered Google bike. > “If I could describe her, you would agree with me,” Poskey said. “She looked all panicked, and then she showed me her Google badge.”
I did this when I went to the Bay for a job interview with Cisco in '94. My friend, who already worked for Cisco, took me down to see their new HQ being constructed at W.Tasman in Milpitas. We're both standing in the car park looking at the construction and this old homeless bum shuffles past and smiles at us. I turn to my friend and said "Site security seems very relaxed letting an old homeless bum like that wander around". My friend replied "That's John Morgridge the CEO".
I just checked that test URL. 10/10. Nice xmas surprise. I run a couple of popular websites (Amazon EC2's running Ubuntu) so I could add IPv6 easily. But why? What's the upside to IPv6 for a website? Better Google page ranking? Security? Faster page load? Others? It's been years since I've worked on IPv6, I was one of the small team who wrote the IPv6 stack for Cisco's high end routers. So I know the protocol - sort of. It was still in flux back then (15 years ago) with the IETF. Can someone bring me up to date? As a website master, why do I need it?
I bought an HP LaserJet P1102w mid-2014, which sits on my desk and is rarely ever used, for about $150 I just went to see how much it cost today and they've doubled in price. I wonder if it's because sales volume have dropped so much?
Anyway with the laser it's a powder not a liquid like inkjet so it doesn't dry out over time if left unused. I've replace the toner once in the time I've had it (which was roughly 3/4 the cost of the printer itself)
I'm struggling to remember what I use it for. Mostly things my kids want printed out. Their favourite colouring in picture which I've scanned from it's book - yeah I'm cheap.:) Oh, I just remembered! I printed my tickets, after booking online, for "The Last Jedi" last week.;)
If you remove the fact that they are academics working on psychics then you basically have a good basis for life in the SF Bay. When I was working there I got taken along to a Friday afternoon premier of one of the Star Trek movies at Mountain View's Shoreline Multiscreen cinema. Sandals, shorts, pony tails and awful T-shirts. Beards if you can grow one. It's like a uniform for the geek crowd. This was the 90's, I doubt they've changed. A couple stand up at the front and they shout out "hey everyone, excited?". The crowd goes wild. "Hey, who here is from HP?". A small patch of the crowd woop and cheer. "Hey who here is from Apple?" Another small patch of the crowd woop and cheer. They repeat this with all the big names until finally.. "Hey who here is from Microsoft?". The room goes silent and then everyone starts booing. Then we all laughed. I do miss that place sometimes...
This is just going to encourage to uptake of traffic anonymising tools and services. That might not sit well with the spies. Someone hasn't thought this through very well. Or they have and this is just a precursor to "open internet" where you are forced to leave open all you do for all to see.
Things to look out for when Tarantino boldly goes where no director has gone before:
- Mexican stand off in space.
- "N" word. Has it been abolished a few hundred years from now?
- Samuel L. Jackson goes from Jedi to Klingon
- Uma. In spandex. Paying homage to Duran Duran.
- The resurrection of a long forgotten film star.
They probably can't afford to undermine the value of the Ruble any more than the sanctions imposed by Obama did to it. That and it's lack of traceability in a state that still loves to monitor everything everyone does. The soviets lost through economic warfare and Russia today is still taking a hammering on that front. The day they legalise BTC is probably the day it peaks and nose dives due to interested parties pulling plugs on that route. 1BTC = US$9,385 as I type this in. No oil or gold to back it, just ease of storage and movement and no, or limited, traceability. If Russia started selling it's oil & gas in BTC today's $9K a coin would soon look like a bargain price.
There's no single "Scottish English". I'm Glaswegian and I struggle to understand anyone from Peterhead. Also old Scots isn't some miss-pronounced variation of English, it's actually Scandinavian.
Scots words such as "hoose, moose, kneb, kirk, kist, braw, greeting" are all understandable to Icelanders or Swedes and probably Danes or Norwegians. In fact I didn't realise "Braw" was Scandinavian until I found myself in rural Sweden trying to talk to an old fella who I'd rented a house from. He put is arms out, in a gesture to the dwelling we stood in, and questioned me with "Braw?" To which, being a Scot, I said "Aye, braw!"
Then you have Scots Gaelic which has made it's own contributions to dialects. "Breeks" = "trousers". Or the word that the English like to use "smashing" to described something good. Reputed to have jumped from Gaelic to English during WW1 or WW2.
The statement made in this article's is nonsense. People retain their own "language" and dialect. TV/Media/Internet has just made the "bi-lingual" in English.
Isn't this getting a bit old and lame? All we hear about Tesla here on/. is how they are keeping the unions out and how the are a hive of horrors for workers. Can we stop with the propaganda and get back to the techie stuff that keeps us reading here.
Ever been to India? It's a bit surreal walking about and seeing a Nazi symbol adorning everything. As a westerner you need to remind yourself that Adolf stole it from India and that it really symbolises the eternal wheel of life.
The "N" word has a source too "The variants neger and negar derive from the Spanish and Portuguese word negro (black)" (I'd add the wikipedia link but the dumb ass "lameness filter" won't let me link to it because it involves spelling out the N word in full. Really/. ? FFS...)
I find it helps take the sting out of the tail when you refer back to the source. Yes it's an(other) legacy from a period of awful inhumanity but as long as we keep reacting to it as we do, so too do we continue to give it's power to cause pain. Move on...
Lots of A.C posts which lacked anything but passionate venom towards my thoughts. It had religious undertones and I felt like a heretic being burned. You were free to leave it be or respond with your own insights, anecdotes, feelings and thoughts to help enlightenment me. I enjoy a healthy debate. When we fight monsters when tend to create new ones to fight them with. Wasn't that what Nietzsche meant when he wrote "Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster... for when you gaze long into the abyss. The abyss gazes also into you." In the end the new monster feeds on the power we gave it to fight the one that we feared and we always lose control of it as it lusts for more/sustained power. I'd summarise my feelings and thoughts as that Unions are such beasts.
Different countries, believe it or not, in legal terms. The 1707 Act of Union that created what is now the UK, allowed Scotland to retain it's own separated laws. So if a law is passed in Westminster it needs enacting twice. In English law & Scottish law. It's probably one of my favourite things about Scotland, the freedom to roam anywhere.
If you pop the name "google" into a numerology calculator you get a very interesting set of results. In western name numerology the vowels and consonants are summed to give 2 "hidden" traits of "Inner Dreams" & "Souls Urge" Google is unique, as far as I know, in being the only word to give 8 for both of these hidden traits. The 3rd trait is the "expression", or how someone/thing appears to the world and is the sum of all letters. Google = 7. The number 7 is the number of research (search), study, introspection, etc. A religious number, each major religion resting on the 7th day. The number 8, which is their hidden desires & dreams, is the number of wealth and power. (Ever noticed the Chinese obsession with 8s? Beijing Olympics opened on the 8/8/08). Interesting curiosity I thought and then came along "Alphabet". Analysed the same way it's hidden's are 7 & 22, the outer appearance is 11. Again a rare name in numerology as it has not one but two "master numbers". The 22 is the "master builder" and considered the most powerful of numbers. 11 is the number of a preacher, counsellor etc. (again religious ovetones just like the 7). Once again a hidden desire for power and an outward appearance that's benign. Now they come up with 26 in roman numerals (which would be an 8 again) it's getting beyond coincidence. I'm now certain that whoever comes up with names at that company has a side interest in numerology.

Undoubtedly the coolest technology test in history. Epic. Well done SpaceX! You've just inspired kids again like NASA did in the 60's.
I develop Apps and I welcome more platform support. Since the Xcode emulator already does this I can play with my own apps on my Mac desktop.

I've flown in 747's so many times I've lost count which is why the first time I flew in an A380 I almost shit myself.
So used to hearing the engines of the 747 go full throttle, being thrown back in my seat as it launches itself down the run way, I expected the same of the A380.
Not so. When it took off (from Auckland) it felt like it was taxi-ing down the run way. In my head I'm thinking "come on Cap'n put the f-ing boot down".
He didn't. It just trundled leisurely along. I'm now thinking "FFS, there's water at the end of this run way, stop teasing and go man!"
Then all of a sudden it lifted it nose. My knuckles went white. It soared gracefully into the air. I was gob smacked.
