Do we not remember how scummy PayPal was when he was there?
A system that provided easy online payment systems breaking the bank cartel and allowing easy transfer of funds between people all while creating an industry which now has heavy competition?
Paypal was scummy, and I thank Elon Musk for investing in it and making the world a better place for it.
I don't get it. He isn't an engineer
No, he's someone who invests his wealth into new technologies that provide game changers to the world, someone who employs engineers to bring his vision to life and push boundaries. Being an engineer is good and all, but you may as well be flipping burgers if you don't get funding.
He isn't even producing affordable EVs or solar panels.
By affordable you mean the single best selling EV in America despite being significantly more expensive than all others?
So he is hardly "saving the planet" by producing $60,000 cars.
Ironically $60k ICE cars are doing far more damage to the environment in terms of emissions than little $15k ones. While unintentionally I congratulate him for starting by cleaning up the dirtiest market.
With such capabilities, how could the courts prove the evidence was not tampered with, invented whole-cloth, planted by the police, or merely stored on the target device by a third party for purposes of framing or obfuscation?
How can courts prove it currently for things not currently done "on a phone"?
Ten years for forgetting my pin number. I have done that.
Firstly it's a PIN, not a PIN number. Secondly I don't buy for a moment that you've forgotten the PIN to your smartphone, a device that constantly asks you for it, frequently needs to be rebooted, and will die if it doesn't see a power outlet for a day.
I mean it should be a legitimate legal excuse, but we know you're lying in this case.
There are dozens of other human activities which produce nothing but greenhouse gases.
Yeah I know. So we should just give up now. Excuse me I need to go turn on the heater and the AC at the same time because someone else somewhere is wasting power so clearly there's no reason at all for me not to do the same.
People waste money and resources on far more negative things.
Next time you post about this topic remember the scales that are involved. I may waste a bit of power by leaving the bathroom light on, but cyptomining has achieved zero and uses more power than the nation of Austria. There's few useless activities that people do at scale that if stopped could power the homes, industry and commercial activities of 10million people at once.
people wouldn't have to resort to cryptocurrencies.
People aren't resorting to cryptocurrencies because of inflation. They attempt instantly to convert to a stable tradable currency, often the USD. What kind of an idiot would swap hyperinflation for insane instability?
Because even cryptocurrencies developed by 15 year olds have set number of coins that can be mined
Then the immediate following year those 15 year olds take a high-school economics class and find out why deflation at scale is an incredibly bad thing for an economy and why central banks work to keep inflation rates where they do.
That being that it's hard to hide what you're doing with people's money if it's easy enough for them to UNDERSTAND it.
You know economics and accounting are actually professional fields. When you are bleeding out do you also reject life threatening surgery because you don't know exactly how it works?
Let's not cater to ignorance, lest we still be hitting each other over the head with sticks while making grunting noises because no one is interested in this "fire thing" that was too confusing to understand.
That "related search" that comes up ALWAYS means they don't have it, but they'll give you things close to that show.
No the other way around. I know that if you search for something specific it will show "Suggestions" if they don't have it. What I'm saying is that they often don't have the Suggestions that they come up with as an alternative. Easy to do by example:
Search for: "Mission Impossible Ghost Protocol" > No suggestions, the directy library result comes up.
but search for something ambiguous: "Mission Impossible" > Suggestions come up including: "Mission: Impossible" - Part of the library and also shown in the listing on the left. "Mission: Impossible II" - Not part of the library why suggest I search for it? "Mission: Impossible III" - Not part of the library why suggest I search for it? "Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol" - Part of the library and also shown in the listing on the left. "Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation" - Not part of the library why suggest I search for it? "Mission: Impossible 6" - WTF this isn't the title and it is still in the bloody cinema why would you suggest I search for this?
Is this known, or not? How must we re-evaluate the EU now that we know the hands that founded it were drenched in the blood of innocents?
I'll bite leaving aside the quality of your news source.
Is it know or not? Better question: is it relevant? The way something is founded is completely irrelevant to its current operation. You talk of Iran because it turned into a shitshow. You wouldn't talk about it if something good came out of it. America was founded on war and bloodshed. Should we re-evaluate you as murdering bastards as a result? (I mean more-so than the world thinks you already are). Likewise the group that founded it does not carry its blood across in the process of founding something else.
Your entire post is an extension of the ad hominem fallacy. Just in this case applied to the creation of an institution rather than an ability to make an argument. Assuming anyone believed a word of the drivel in the Telegraf the CIA creating the EU has no bearing on the work the institution itself does.
Queue the "this is just karma", "the shoe is on the other foot", "finally they see how we feel", "they didn't tell me I didn't get the job when I sent my resume" posts.
When someone hurts your feelings you don't go to them at night and burn their house down. Recruiters are known for being unresponsive and generally quite poor at their jobs, however how many of you have actual examples of having a fully scheduled part late in a recruitment process flaking out on you without any notification? I'm willing to bet the answer is close to none.
When I send a resume to a recruiter I am a piece of paper on a giant pile. It would be nice to get a rejection notice but at this point it's not like there's much invested in this relationship by either side. Flaking at this point isn't too severe, though these days I find more and more you get an automated rejection notice.
After a few rounds of selection, talking to actual human beings, scheduling, and god forbid actually having gone through an interview and taking a job, flaking just makes you a horrible person. There really is not justifiable excuse for it. You're not sending expensive telegrams to far off places of the world.
The saying is "an eye for an eye", not "murder and burn them for an eye".
All most of them seem to do is shovel anybody who even remotely fits the description they get from the client into an interview.
So you got an interview and you're complaining? Did you show up for the interview only to find it wasn't on?
Useless as people may be the only thing worse is to treat these people like a vindicitive arsehole. It's one of the fastest ways society can go down the tubes. (Not the internet just a bunch of tubes either, the ones that move shit around).
I think it's high time people start talking about their experience with recruiters and how useless they can be.
Yeah let's start talking:
My experience: I have never heard of someone getting to an interview stage and then getting flaked on by a company or an interviewer. Just because at some point in the process you are a piece of paper in a pile of 400 other pieces of paper that may not get looked at, doesn't give you an excuse to be a huge arse after you have been hand picked through a process that takes many hours.
Reply to the interview saying you're not interested. Withdraw your application without notice by all means. But if someone has *scheduled* something with you then you're just a bad person for not either following through or formally cancelling and I've never heard of an recruiter doing the same.
There's something very sad about people going maximum arsehole as a result of a minor inconvenience on their behalf. I am willing to bet no one has ever gotten to the interview stage only to hear no correspondence anymore. Neither side has invested much effort in the resume stage, however at the interview stage or god forbid day one of work the story is quite different.
Car analogy: Someone cuts you off in the street so you burn their car to the ground.
When you sent in a resume and didn't even receive a reply telling you that you weren't selected.
Yes because sending a piece of paper to be put in a stack with potentially hundreds of others is comparable to many man hours of reading selecting, finely tuning, scheduling, only to have someone flake./sarcasm
I'm sorry for you if you apply for a job and didn't get a courtesy call, but that's hardly an excuse to go maximum arsehole on others. Speaking of, I have never once had a job *interview* cancelled on me and have never once gotten to the *interview* stage and then received no further correspondence.
They would all exclusively look like hippies. It's one thing to vote with your wallet to send a message. It's quite another if there's only one box on the ballot form.
Incidentally my girlfriend's dress collection all features pockets. Now let's send a message to those other companies "Oh clearly pink is in style right now" "Oh clearly people are buying dresses with straps. Oh clearly... {insert other features thanks to no two dresses being alike}"
1) Stop making search suggestions for things that are not actually in your library.
That gives me the shits more than anything else. Me: Searches for something. Netflix: "Check out this amazing related search {blockbuster movie}" Me: Clicks on related search. Netflix: Here's a list of search results none of which include the thing we recommended to you because LOL we don't have that.
By the way:
7) I want to be able to rate things with 1-5 stars so I know HOW MUCH I liked or disliked something
Why would *you* want to know how much *you* liked something? Don't you remember?
When one streaming service goes downhill you can bet another will show up to steal its crown.
Netflix has been going downhill for the past 5 years, both in terms of quality, and content. It still has the crown.
My pet-peeve right now is their suggestions when you search: Me: Searches for ${movie} Netflix: "Here are some related suggestions: ${Hollywood blockbuster, sequel to movie I searched}" Me: Clicks on one of their suggestions. Netflix: "hahahah f-u we don't actually have that in our library, we just wanted you to get your hopes up, allow me to return search results that look identical to what you had on your screen a second ago. "

Palemoon still supports NPAPI plugins
Commonly referred to as unmaintained plugins.
Like that time when he calls a cave diver a pedo for ridiculing his submersible we saw people leaping to justify it.
Please show me a single post where someone defended his language.
I'm willing to be you saw the topic: "pedo cave diver", saw a positive post, and then made up your own narrative about it.

Evidence of your innocence is still evidence.
With such capabilities, how could the courts prove the evidence was not tampered with, invented whole-cloth, planted by the police, or merely stored on the target device by a third party for purposes of framing or obfuscation?
How can courts prove it currently for things not currently done "on a phone"?
It's worse than that in most countries. Don't normalise America's constitution on the internet, you only represent 5% of the world.

The same, and that's what I thought, so where do you form your silly opinion from?

Women don't put anything in their pockets. Ruins the look of whatever they're wearing
WTF kind of "women" do you hang around with?
My SWAG is that men have a genetic instinct for keeping both hands free to aid in survival
Is that why most of them walk around with their hands in their pockets?
No sensible man is going to be attracted to a woman because she has an LV bag.
One may say that poor life life choices are actually a turn-off.
If women only bought clothes with large pockets
They would all exclusively look like hippies. It's one thing to vote with your wallet to send a message. It's quite another if there's only one box on the ballot form.
Incidentally my girlfriend's dress collection all features pockets. Now let's send a message to those other companies "Oh clearly pink is in style right now" "Oh clearly people are buying dresses with straps. Oh clearly... {insert other features thanks to no two dresses being alike}"
Man screw that, there's far bigger problems:

but I can see why they want to do this as they have a lot of original content
If only Netflix had a landing page where they could suggest all this content for you...
