STOP consuming copyrighted works. STOP going to movies, STOP steaming music, STOP going to concerts, STOP the support of these 'artists'.
That is, I am afraid, the only solution at this point. The social contract of copyright has been violated so completely that it should now be seen as void, however as the force of state will still uphold it, the only other choice is to avoid it altogether. Violate as you want and at your own risk, but stop giving money to these companies.
Society does not need THESE 'arts', they are not contributing.
Nuclear power works wonderfully for (navy scale) boats (and submarines), via electricity often.
Not so well for aircraft actually. The Americans tried and failed, the Russians tried and 'succeeded' if you dont count the fact that most of the aircrew died of radiation poisoning.
Oh, you were talking about little private craft? why? do you have no grasp of context?
So, perhaps you would like to tell us about these solar panels that produce enough power to power 2 cars. Imagine if you will a standard Tesla 85kWh battery. Charging it at (lets be reasonably generous) 80% total system efficiency (by the time you collect, store (car is not always home) convert voltages, and charge cells. so, we need around 106 kWh, lets just call it 100kWh to be nice. but you said 2 cars, s 200kWh for a charge up. now, that will give you a fair bit of range, lets say you need a full charge each week. so 200kWh/7, 28kWh a day needs to be produced (rounding to be nice again) even with tracked arrays, you can collect for a maximum of around 8 hours a day with any efficiency, so you will need 3.5Kw of solar source over your 8 hours. Doesnt sound too bad does it? not figure in practical Solar load factor, around 20%, so you need 17.5 Kw of solar cells. At $4/W install cost thats quite a nice $70k solar setup you must have (ignoring trackers to get even close to this efficiency) Assuming you also want to power your home, I figure you must have dropped well over $100k on it.
Mind you, as you obviously have a lot of spare area, I assume you can afford it - must be nice to lord it over the people in the real world. Quite lucky those solar panels had zero carbon footprint, and didnt cause any other nasty pollution issues (heavy metals) in their production, shipping, and installation.
Better than nuclear? How? You realise all that fuel had to be lifted at huge cost right? The multipliers make it look horrible to say the least. Radiation is no so much of an issue, because there is plenty of that up there anyway, so you are polluting nothing (for a sensible design) and you need the shielding anyway.
Really there no comparison. Nuclear is many many orders of magnitude better...
Google wants more and more of the users data to feed the Machine Learning.
Why would they not want all photos submitted to their machine learning platform, almost certainly with geolocation tagging, etc followed by people teaching it who and what the subjects are.
Not sure if I would consider it 'free' though... Is giving up more and more privacy really free?
Because these are repair items for a big ticket item they already solid you, and these days the onboard computers often try and REQUIRE you to purchase their own item (not a second source), and yet they are legally required to give you a right to repair?
In what way is that like your found card? I'll tell you, NOT EVEN A LITTLE.
It is more like your bank calling you up and saying 'there is a problem with accessing your savings account, and you only have to pay us $4,500 to fix it, have a nice day'.
And the outcome of this has been a nice solid market for second-source parts, often from the same manufacturer (gee, who would have thought BMW doesnt actually manufacture most of their wear items..)
The 'victim' is the people not smart enough to avoid the st(d)ealers.
Most car manufacturers play exactly the same game.
A classic example is engin oil specs - why generally dont need to be particularly specific, and yet there has been an explosion of thres spec types, often specific to single manufacturers, and only available from them, until you find out that it is the EXACT SAME OIL available under 5 different 'specifications' from different manufacturers, because the oil companies dont actually make that many different types...
Socialism is about reducing the maximum number of people to dependence on the state. So it kind of is - they are just quite specific about what 'equality' is, equality is total dependence on state control and funding - basically the reduction of everyone to the lowest point, so that no one will challenge those in control 'who are doing things for the good of everyone else'
Every socialist state so far has effectively proven this, without exception.
Socialism is a (one of many) Totalitarianist solution.
You really are big on your insults, but I notice rather lacking in facts.
Here is one for you: How about a university FIRING a major research professor for daring to publicly discuss the fact that they are basically faking their reef data in their quest for funds??
So, why not update it? Oh, you cannot be bothered doing anything other than excepting the maker to give you new software? oh dear.
I suppose it must be nice when your car maker turns up with a new better engine for your car, because the new models have it. (Yes, I know its software - do you think back-porting is free? really?)
Just checking my Samsung Note 3, and its running 7.1.2 (must get around to updating it..)
Because you know what? its not that hard to run other software on many (even most) Android hardware. Whats not to like? I just run the official software until they drop support, then move to a generic.
But I assume you have a point relevant to the story? Or perhaps a solution to the problem? Perhaps you will go there and help. They also eat people, including at least one tourist.
Hard to see how disconnecting Facebook would make it any worse though.
Does one somehow exclude the other? Hard to see your point here.
This guys job is 'Communications Minister', probably not his remit. Seems like a pretty sensible idea anyway, Hopefully they simply forget to re-enable it.
Isnt the larger question really 'why'? As in why would python try and do what is done, for very good reasons, at OS level already, and if it is not, things are completely broken anyway?
After all there is that tiny little loophole of C extensions, or hell, just writing the nasty programs in C (or just about any other language) to behind with?
I basically read this as 'Python has a HUGE problem because it works like pretty much every other language out there, quick, fix it!'
ie: someone stiring up a storm in a teacup to get their personal pet project fasttracked in to the core.
Alibaba (china) will sell you knife/fork/spoon SETS, in stainless, for $0.10-$0.20 a set in 1000 quantities. That is quite a bit cheaper than you pay in the US for the fancy bamboo recyclable versions;)

he answer is simple.

ROTFL.
Did you fail to notice who the Dems ran last time? Really? Was that all just a bad dream to you? You didnt notice their huge corporate support?
Oh Dear.
Quite right.

Ah yes, what a nicely democratic view, wanting an AI monitoring people to make sure they vote the 'correct' way.
I applaud your love of freedom.
Perhaps we should have drones with guns to enforce the belief?

I think you miss-spelt Audi ;)
Is this sarcasm or stupidity? I really cannot tell.
Dont worry, peak oil should cancel it out nicely ;)

Lineage in this case.
And of course this is why it is being targeted, because it won't play ball and give the US TLAs a free pass to infect its clients.
I'm sure this fuss is doing them nothing but good.outside. The US..
The thing to remember is that this also implies all the other security produces DO give the US agencies a free pass..
Oh dear god, you just made diamonds seem cheap in comparison.. the horror.
Yes, a horrible place at many levels.

Cloth diapers used to be for ALL people.
So, you are saying that anyone who supplies something to someone else should be responsible for their use of it 'because'?
Can I borrow your car?
