Implied means jack shit when things get ugly. All that remains is leverage. It is implied that you won't use those pictures to get revenge against her. It's also implied that she won't report you to police for having a non-existent child porn collection (happened to a friend of mine). It is implied that pictures of her with her face glazed won't be sent to her parents (happened to a friend of mine). It is implied that there won't be a fake rape accusation just because someone was cheating on someone (happened to a.... man my friends make bad choices when choosing partners).
For that matter it is implied that nothing immoral or illegal ever happens. It is implied I won't beat my girlfriend, kill my landlord, rob a guy going down the street, and while there are many billions of people who are perfectly happy for to abide by these implied moral guidelines unfortunately there are enough assholes (of both sexes) that this remains a problem in society.
The inability for a government to control a website in a world where the record industry will happily get something shutdown for sharing a 31 second soundbite is indeed quite relevant tech news.
Australia used this excuse back when they were number 38 in the global internet speeds. Where are they now? No one knows because Akamai only publish the top 50.
Just came here to visit. Currently staying 4km from the city center of 2.5million people and downloading at the blazing speeds of 10mbps, only 1/5th of my *upload* speed back in Europe.
Don't cut the cord yet Americans. Netflix doesn't do well at these speeds.
I can't afford it, and I wouldn't recoup my investment because I certainly won't own the house long enough.
Why? Having just sold my house the solar panels paid for themselves in the added house value. Additionally while renting it out for a year I jacked up the rent by the average cost of electricity for people so even while not living there I was getting the rewards.
If you find it valuable, chances are other people will as well and pay accordingly.
has a massive catalog with a very well-defined market.
Unfortunately they also have a market defined predominantly by people who fall into the category of not old enough to have money, or pirates. I would happily wager only a few percent of people watch Disney content on Netflix accounts which they paid for, as opposed to another member of their family.
So because there's not enough space for a decent run up the intent is to stop the cars to ruin whatever built up speed they already have? That is pure genius.
Can someone please tell me what I'm supposed to do at this intersection?
Seeing this sign it looks like it wants me to take the onramp and then come to a stop and give way before going? But looking at the road markings it appears to be a giveway-merge where I just match the speed of the traffic and then join in.
Forget driversless cars, let's start by making it clear for drivers first. I mean went back and forward along that road, none of the cars appeared to stop for anything.
Many things can seem great while still being the worst in the industry. Just because the Leaf works well for you and a bunch of taxis doesn't mean it works for an even wider audience and doesn't mean that there aren't better options available.
The 2020 goal is still 15+min for a full charge (combined with the expectation that the 2020 car will likely have larger capacity than the current Teslas), but the charging profile of EV batteries will get you some 80% of the way there in ~7min. Even Tesla's current systems provides a fast charge component followed by a top-up. So every time you hear someone quoting a full charge number, remember the 80% number is not done in 80% of the time, and unless you're driving cost to coast trying to make it from one charger to the next there's a good chance that 80% of the charge will actually be more than enough.
But they didn't punish him for "negative PR" or whatever. They fired him for promulgating gender stereotypes.
Are you one of those people who are incapable of differentiating between a PR marketing speech and reality? You're going to find it tough in the world.
For that you'd need to prove that he was fired for what he said, rather than what he did. The latter being bringing his employer publicly into disrepute on an international stage. If this hadn't hit the news, I'd wager he'd never have been fired.
Depends on what he was fired for. Dissent of the view, or for bringing a multinational employer into disrepute very publicly on the international stage?
What he said is irrelevant, this ended up in the news.
You turned him from a disagreeable twit into a sympathetic victim
Getting fired for bringing a corporation into disrepute on the international stage doesn't turn him into a sympathetic victim in the minds of anyone other than the incredibly clueless who will forget tomorrow that this entire thing happened anyway.
Google itself "says it prides itself on open discussion."
That's marketing speak not an internal process. The open discussion that takes place is through the standard channels is quite different than forwarding a 10 page vent to your fellow "Googlers" as he called them.
What are you talking about? These benchmarks show a 35% performance gap. Other benchmarks (do a quick google) show a 16% power penalty. The Ryzen is more efficient based on the benchmarks we've seen so far.
Both of those cater to wide breadth of information targeted at a very specific audience.
It doesn't need to be "good" in our eyes to be "valuable" in someone else's. But if you every read them you'll find they diversified their interests a lot over the years, and their parent companies even tried to expand the target audience (which failed spectacularly).
Yes I agree with that. Resolve the issue that only rich people have a right to education before deciding which rich person is smarter. Sadly I don't anticipate either problem will be solved this generation.
They did nothing of the sort. The only thing this person was fired for was breaching the code of conduct which isn't surprising since her grievance made international news rather than being handled through the proper channels. Most big companies have a very good internal process for dealing with this kind of thing. Instead, we're discussing it on slashdot, and THAT is why the person got fired.

How is this tech?
The inability for a government to control a website in a world where the record industry will happily get something shutdown for sharing a 31 second soundbite is indeed quite relevant tech news.
The name of the site is literally in the second sentence of the summary. Do you even Google man?
It's getting worse with the availability of cheap drones.
Just had a look at the site, not a single drone photo. Please pick another article for your anti-drone agenda.

They can accomplish that by wrapping in a bundle of asbestos
Devious. If the warhead fails to go off, the two people the missile hit will die 40 years later from cancer!

There. I just published the script for everyone. *Spoiler alert*
The 2020 goal is still 15+min for a full charge (combined with the expectation that the 2020 car will likely have larger capacity than the current Teslas), but the charging profile of EV batteries will get you some 80% of the way there in ~7min.

We're getting there :)
But I can see from the rest of your posting that you are not interested in facts
Sorry I should have said don't post drunk instead of claiming you smoke weed.

Are you one of those people who are incapable of differentiating between a PR marketing speech and reality? You're going to find it tough in the world.
That depends entirely on what the policies are for communication and classification. You do classify all your emails appropriately right?
and it would be wrongful termination right?
For that you'd need to prove that he was fired for what he said, rather than what he did. The latter being bringing his employer publicly into disrepute on an international stage. If this hadn't hit the news, I'd wager he'd never have been fired.

but thanks for briefly showing your true face
Employee says ${thing} that causes outrage on the world and puts Google on the front page.
Everyone's true face would be to punish said employee. Google isn't required to coddle the employee like a special little child.
Google itself "says it prides itself on open discussion."
