Yeah, other comments have clarified that it's not the OS that's under Apache 2.0, but only a bunch of user-space stuff...which would probably be useless to me anyway, since I don't want to have anything to do with IoT.
I think it's not the OS that is locked down, but rather the hardware. At least that what other comments cause me to think. Personally, I'm still wondering what use it is. An OS for a refrigerator???
Since it's reported that the License is Apache 2.0, it can't be Linux, which is GPL. You *may* be able to put Apache 2.0 code under GPL, I'm not sure, but you can only put GPL software under Apache if you are the copyright holder.
Of course, they could be violating the license, I suppose.
Read what I wrote again, with the knowledge that you misunderstood me the first time. (FWIW, I generally *do* favor a carbon tax, but the devil is in the details. But I was trying to make a more general point.)
I don't use Facebook either, and I've never created an account. But I don't fool myself into believing that this means they don't have a dossier on me, or that the way they store those isn't as accounts on their system...possibly with a flag saying "non-user".
Really? I don't think more than half the reasons she lost were her own doing. But it's true, the only two reasons I heard to vote for her were: 1) She's a woman. 2) She's not Trump. Both were ok reasons, but hardly very good. (Well, not being Trump was a pretty good reason...but for a candidate?? Not being something doesn't say who you are, and there's more than one way of being a poor choice.)
The thing is, I didn't run across a single person who liked her as a candidate. Some people approved of her, but only because "it's about time for a woman". She did stand for a few good things, but it was hard to be sure how honest she was being, and mainly she didn't. She seemed to thing that because most people didn't like Trump, that was enough.
IIUC the US has officially been under emergency powers since sometime during WWII. I never heard that they were repealed, and I believe that they were implemented without a sunset clause.
There's no particular sign that this particular piece of information *can* honestly be refuted. If you have reason to believe otherwise, I'd like to know what it is.
If you wanted to say malfeasance, fraud, bribery, perversion of office, and being a prick, I'd be right with you, but the constitution defines treason, and until Russia is defined as an official enemy then treason isn't even possible.
Section 3. Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying war against them, or in adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on confession in open court.
Yeah. "Carbon tax" is one of many areas where there are sides already chosen before you start looking for facts. In those cases the major problem is attempting to get people to really solve the problem when they've already decided on their position. (I'm *not* going to get into why some particular group chose the position they chose.)
Actually, from his argument I think he meant something more like: Adjust the rules under which the economy works so that it's cheaper to fix the problem than not to, and then let free choice within that context solve the problem.
It's not an unreasonable approach, and usually works quite well. The problem is setting the appropriate economic context, and "religious" objections from "free market" fundamentalists to the government setting *any* economic rules. But even defining the correct economic rules to set an almost-optimal context isn't straight-forwards.
Cracks are so common you can't do that or you could never build a bridge. And an internal flaw is likely impossible to detect. Sometimes you can detect it with an xray, or sound test, but not always.
OTOH, further down the thread it looks as if someone has come up with a plausible reason having to do with over tensioning a support member.
When email was text there wasn't this much of a problem. The merger between email and browsers with javascript enabled, however, has been horrendous. And incomprehensible links just makes things worse. Link shorteners are totally untrustworthy, but so are links that push you to a php page, and there are all sorts of links full of various kinds of gibberish so you never know where they're going to link you to. It's not too bad if you don't have javascript enabled, but just try to convince people to avoid it. I've got to admit that even I have javascript enabled, though I do have an ad blocker running. But this causes me to be a bit paranoid about what links I click.
My wild guess: His apartment, and the area immediately adjacent is contaminated with hazardous chemicals that also happen to be inflammable. If they take out his apartment, the rest of the building is structurally unsound. So they decided the simplest and cheapest approach is to burn it. This is making the presumption that he wasn't using anything that would survive a fire, but perhaps if he was making explosives that's a reasonable assumption. (Well, OK, he'd have some sulfuric acid, etc. but the explosion would already have spread that all over a bunch of organic stuff, so it won't be acid anymore. And the air is already probably full of nitric/nitrous acid, now that the EPA has stopped enforcement.)
IIRC Hydrogen Fluoride gas was used to frost lightbulbs, so don't say it's only really goo for purifying uranium. (And I think that the Uranium Hexafluoride approach wasn't eventually used, anyway.) If you aren't planning on separating the isotopes then I think they normally end up with a Uranium Oxide, so fluorine wouldn't be involved.
I would doubt that the cracks were the source of the problem, and I well understand that there are many benign causes for cement cracking. But I still suspect that it will eventually turn out that the cracks were the external sign of a more serious internal problem. Perhaps in improperly secured support joint.
This doesn't mean I think he should have known that from looking at the cracks. It's the kind of problem even an xray might not reveal. When you've got to guess by looking at external symptoms that could have multiple causes, you just can't tell.
Yes/No. Some trucks are used for long distance hauling. It seems to me those could be hybrid, but not electric. Unless, of course, their routes are predictable ahead of time, and you have the recharge stations mapped, and..... well, lots of caveats. But they add up for a pure electric to you can't have a flexible route, and only some routes would work at all.
It depends on where you live. If you live on a farm, then you need a pickup truck. If you live in the suburbs...well, it's occasionally convenient. If you live in the city...unless you need it for business, you've got it for show.
Most people live in the cities, and the next largest number live in the suburbs. So most of the pickups sold are sold as status or image objects. But this doesn't mean that most near where you live are status or image objects, because I don't know where you live. And it doesn't mean yours is, because I also don't know your line of work.
Actually, to really prove this point I'd need to pin down where most people who buy pickup trucks live, but I *know* that a lot of people who live in cities buy them, and often modify them into something that's not even safe to drive. Certainly not around a sharp corner. (I think they call them high-riders, though that slang may be decades old by now.)

Well, the do say the man who pays the piper calls the tune. I suppose they could hire them to prove that Facebook was innocent.
Oh, it probably is illicit. Probably if they'd known how much was being taken they'd have quadrupled their prices.

If he enforced it the way you are indicating, then I suspect there'd be a lot less criticism. As it is this looks like political bullying.

Read what you quoted again!
Try it as grouping it as "The merger between email and [browsers with javascript enabled]"

Yeah, but I couldn't either find or remember the correct term for the engine with spark plugs. Internal combustion is also descriptive of diesels.

It's not a terrible idea, it depends on the questions. (And there had better be a bit of randomness in their presentation.)
Of course, in a few years you might get more bots commenting that humans, but at least they'll have read the summary.

It'll probably be here somewhere. Probably with a score of zero or less.
