That depends on its adoption and if it is fighting with competitors. Goo.gl offers nothing that bit.ly and others don't already offer. There's no reason to keep it around. as an independent service.
Trouble is that the only good food is kale. And kale is inedible.
You know if you add a flavoured grease like coconut oil or some salted butter to the pan when you cook kale it makes it easier to scrape into the trash.
The stuff is horribly additive too. I tried to quit a while back, go full cold turkey and cut out not only consuming raw DHMO but all DHMO containing products. I didn't make it more than a few hours before I got headaches, an incredible thirst, dry mouth and started feeling dizzy.
None of the cars I drove as a teen had power steering, or power brakes. Kids these days.
Same, however despite living for while without power steering, having power steering suddenly and unexpectedly fail while in transit is a very serious safety risk.
I had it fail going around a roundabout one day. It was as jaring as a steering wheel lock engaging. I missed the exit and went around again because I couldn't turn the wheel.
I'm sure you can cite a whole bunch them. And "voluntary" in this case can't mean, "shit we better do this or the NHSTA will sue us to oblivion after their investigation". Or "omg we've already killed 5 people, better to a voluntary recall".
The UK wasn't a first class founding member. They were a charity case. They came along 20 years after the Treaty of Rome that laid the foundations of the EU, and many would argue the Benelux union was actually the start of the EU a whole 10 years before the Treaty of Rome.
Not only that, at the time the UK joined they were a disaster, politically, economically, and socially. A literal charity case not only allowed to join the EU but given loads of concessions on account of their horrid state at the time. Not even the eastern block the UK has come to hate were considered low enough to warrant that level of sympathy.
They never deserved to be part of the EU, and quite a lot of people are not sad to see the back of them.
Some outright refuse registrations for personal reasons. I remember having to register a business and hand over my business tax number to register in one country.
Oh? Negotiations are finished are they? Someone should tell May that.
What you absolutists don't seem to get is what "negotiation" actually is. The UK provides something and in return the EU provides something, e.g. UK residents to continue to work in the EU. That's done then. To come back and use the same concession for something else is not a negotiation, it's a tantrum.
Mind you I would be throwing a tantrum too. If I spent years being lied to as to how great of a negotiating position the UK would have when it left only to see what reality was I would be out for blood. The stupid part is you're out for EU blood instead of that of your idiot politicians.
Miss-attribution. The pressure variations both cause the bubble and cause them to collapse suddenly. It's called cavitation. We don't normally have bubbles in our joints and we don't build up any over time either.
But it sucks also today, here's how the deliveries were done in London in 1844
Let me stop you there. The function of a public utility needs to suit the current requirements. That we don't get letters seven times a day today doesn't mean the postal service sucks, people literally don't get that much mail anymore. The current requirements overwhelmingly tend towards 1 or 2 parcel deliveries per day and a letter delivery every couple of days.
The fact they don't do more than that doesn't mean they suck compared to how it was in London in 1844, it just means they are doing what is required.
It's too late, they already initiated the withdrawal. It happens now regardless.
That has been a matter of legal debate given how poorly drafted the leave article was. There is reason to believe that they could still cancel Brexit. That said there is zero reason to believe they will. The UK will sooner stubbornly drive themselves to hell before back pedalling on something like this.
I doubt they'll even get to cut back on immigration.
Ironically enough some of the truly baffling talk about immigration in the UK is that they are pissed of with a) illegal immigration, and b) muslim immigration. The former won't change, and the latter will actually get worse with Brexit thanks to the UK being able to use it's immigration quota without having to accept EU migrants.... the majority of which are Poles and everyone is fine with that because someone needs to build houses and do plumbing.
This action makes me think less of the EU, which I had thought was impossible.
Just hand over part of a package for nothing in the middle of a negotiation process? Just have a rules based organisation like the EU ignore rules?
SuperKendall you and I disagree on a lot of things, but until now I haven't thought of you as someone stupid. I honestly wonder how you thought this could possible go any other way, even if the roles were reversed (the UK also pulling everything they can for negotiations and the UK also being a hugely rules based bureaucracy).
Is it just me, or does this seem fairly petty and petulant?
No that's just misinterpretation of what the EU is. Regardless of what anyone thinks of it positively or negatively it is still fundamentally a majorly rules based bureaucracy. I don't think this is petty as much as it is a realisation that it is either kick off the domains, or dig out and take yet another legal document through an update process to make exceptions.
Also worth remembering is that the EU and UK are in the process of negotiating exit terms. Nothing is petty in a negotiation, it is all just part of your negotiation position. I also suspect that both sides will play on this one. The EU sees it as yet another thing that affects the UK, and the UK will probably use it as something they can offer to let the EU have (because who the hell needs a.eu domain anyway, most are just yet another TLD registration of another domain a company already owns anyway).
Don't generalise. This was a road vehicle accident, and in the overwhelming vast majority of cases the family of victims get diddley squat. Doubly so that there was an employee Uber was able to throw under the bus for this. And the person was crossing the road where she wasn't supposed to.
Point is don't always assume you are in an awesome position just because ${bad_thing} happened to you. Your case varies greatly in strength for yourself as well as strength of opponents.
Personally I think the family was right to settle. This is a case where I expected they wouldn't even get a letter of condolence, not only because of the circumstances but also because of who was involved (and who wasn't, namely the family).
Because marketing and legal binding agreements are two different things.
Then you'll just shift
Nope. Firstly it's much harder to shift a legal agreement without informing all users expressly of it. Secondly I don't shift goalposts or build strawmen. I just call it like I see it. So far we have nothing but "marketing" something which Apple is very good at. but no substance, something which Apple as of late also seems sadly good at.
To be fair, what I get if I buy a standard Windows PC today will be a worse experience than what I got 6 years ago if I bought a new PC with Windows 7
Depends on how you define the experience. If you are talking privacy and all that then yes, very much so. If you're talking administering settings then I agree even more. Fortunately the former is blocked by simple tools, and the latter is something I rarely spend any time doing. Under the hood though Windows 10 has many advances over 7 in speed, security, memory management etc.
It's a shame they work against the user though, however most people don't consider that in any way part of the "experience" thanks to most people being completely and utterly ignorant of how much the system phones home.
The postal service shrunk, it's not shrinking, and in fact last year it grew in total mail volume and mail revenue. You don't have to take my word for it, go read their annual reports. Email happened a long time ago. How do you think you're getting all those things you order online?
But I'll say it again: Post office employees, congresscritters and staff should get social security, a 401k match and NOTHING ELSE.
I like how you singled out a few small select groups there.

unlike the first class founding member
The UK wasn't a first class founding member. They were a charity case. They came along 20 years after the Treaty of Rome that laid the foundations of the EU, and many would argue the Benelux union was actually the start of the EU a whole 10 years before the Treaty of Rome.

The person who wrote it said it could: https://www.newstatesman.com/p...
some require them to be resident
Some outright refuse registrations for personal reasons. I remember having to register a business and hand over my business tax number to register in one country.
The people who are being punished here might very well have voted stay?
Yep, democracy sucks doesn't it. Mind you there's an easy fix that several companies are adopting: Re-headquarter to the EU.
UK is allowing for that
Oh? Negotiations are finished are they? Someone should tell May that.

No they haven't.
Cool opinion bro.

Yes, Germany. But they are at least afforded due process before domains get seized.
A good old fashioned .com domain has none of these issues.
No it has two much larger issues: Verisign and the MAFIAA.
It's too late, they already initiated the withdrawal. It happens now regardless.

The point is: lawyer up and dont settle.
Don't generalise. This was a road vehicle accident, and in the overwhelming vast majority of cases the family of victims get diddley squat. Doubly so that there was an employee Uber was able to throw under the bus for this. And the person was crossing the road where she wasn't supposed to.

You don't seem very clear on the concept of "Action" either
Neither is Apple given that they are saying two different things as you pointed out.
Why?
Because marketing and legal binding agreements are two different things.
Then you'll just shift
Nope. Firstly it's much harder to shift a legal agreement without informing all users expressly of it. Secondly I don't shift goalposts or build strawmen. I just call it like I see it.

Nope. Who the fuck reads subjects anyways. Subjects on posts are stupid.

Bullshit. The post office is shrinking (email).
