So more bureaucracy and unelected bureaucracy making rules that are imposed on all member states is more democratic. And said same rules that remove national sovereignty forever and can impose said rules and laws on entire populations and member states with no ability from the government which has diminished powers under the EU is more democratic.
Just look at what is about to happen in the UK. The Prime Minister just announced his resignation, and someone else will take over without being elected.....
And that's normally what happens in most western countries especially countries based on a Westminster parliament, unless it's written into their constitution that an election must be held. So I'm sure you're out there contacting MP's and starting a movement to turn around and change that right? After all you seem to have real problems with it. Why do I have a feeling you're just whining about it and aren't actually involved in the politics to get it changed.
Funny, we have the same system here in Canada and it works just fine in the vast majority of cases. The EU on the otherhand is controlled by unelected bureaucrats from Brussels, very democratic. Perhaps you meant to say there was a system in place mirroring communist systems and the UK decided to get the hell out and take their national sovereignty with them instead of giving it up.
Still writing some of the regulations on them actually, and in other cases the laws and regulations already cover things like drones(aerial or ground). Around 25 years ago they put in regulations where RC planes/boats can be used, they simply extended the rules to cover drones of various types. Makes it nice and easy.
The FBI failed to stop Omar Mateen after meeting with him twice, but somehow that is justification for asking for MORE spy powers? Orwellian move by the Oligarchs.
The only reason they were stopped from further investigating was because they were dissuaded from continuing to investigate. News at 11: His wife has now disappeared and is considered a person of interest in the case.
You mean the part where the doctor didn't actually do his mental health assessment and he rode on the coat tails of his G4S(which appears to have falsified his MH review) contract for it?
So why are you making excuses like a shill would do?
I'm making factual statements, you know because I have some small idea of how this stuff actually works. Don't like it? Tough.
Why can't they reflash them?
In most cases? PR will walk in saying we need some cards to send out. And engineering will dump a bunch of cards in their lap that were used for internal testing of retail samples and we need them yesterday. Surprise. So they get dumped a lap full of cards.
And then they get what they were going to get anyway, or they get nothing.
And here's the part where companies getting free hardware and start whining.
Nobody is expecting them to wait for a retail version. We ARE expecting companies to send out representative review samples. Sure, they'll pick the ones that overclock best, but if they send them out pre-overclocked, that is bullshit. The sample hardware should be as close as possible to the final product.
Really? Then what's with all the whining. Those are review samples, they are representative of the retail samples at a higher clock rate. Those cards are "close to the final product" especially those cards that are being billed for overclockers at a base stable rate with little product monographs saying that the card itself has had internal testing to xyz speeds. Shocking I know, but welcome to reality.
A lot of times this is a whole non-issue, and not for the shill reasons you'd expect. They come out saying right at the start that these are "review samples" and those have almost always have a different bios flashed on to them then the run of the mill retail cards, especially since those review samples are selected cards that have a more stable and higher base clock rate in the first place and have already been used internally for testing. If a site doesn't want a "review sample" they only have to tell the company that's sending them the hardware they would prefer to have retail boxed copies of hardware.
That of course means the reviewer will have to wait for a retail version to become available to them in most cases instead of getting their review sample a few weeks early. I'll bet you already know what the site will want anyway, they'll still want that review sample so they can get people in the door and looking at their site.
Oh, and didn't the FBI investigate the Orlando shooter TWICE, and found nothing to justify further interest? So, how would passing this amendment have prevented Orlando?
No the regulations were so severe in investigating people of interest that they were effectively dissuaded from further investigating even though the shooter was on the terrorist watchlist.And the FBI had a very strong suspicion that he was a ticking bomb So when you read between the lines you basically see that they discovered he was a protected class aka muslim and either looked the other way or were persuaded to look the other way because the optics wouldn't be good.. On top of that his wife is now being investigated as a link to this.
Sooner or later, anything will be used to commit a crime.
Back a few years I had a chance to listen to one of Canada's top drug/crimlaw experts talk about social media. Or as he put it, "one of the best tools to catch criminals with evidence in hand." Can't speak for the US, but here in Canada clearance rates have increased because these people are so stupid they brag about what they've done.
Seems to me that a lot of social media sites know that the vast majority of their users are narcissistic shits who need their ego's stroked, giving them video just helps their self esteem.
Well Twitter just blew as much money as it lost last year. And they also blew through 1/3 of it's remaining liquid capital to do this. I expect late this year or the year after that they'll be up for sale. So I'm not surprised they're buying up buzzword companies in an attempt to make themselves look more attractive.
Anything is hacking these days according to the media. Didn't ya get the memo? Sneezing is hacking, rubbing a balloon against someones head is hacking. DDoSing 127.0.0.1 is also hacking.
Keep in mind that WoW and Overwatch use a whole pile of different data centers. Personally? I hope Blizzard comes after them with everything they can gather and sue the shit weasel into the ground.
If you want to look for who is screwing over Venezuela, look no further than Venezuela.
Fixed that for you. The only one who is responsible is themselves, because they believed in infinitely high oil prices and didn't diversify their economy.
The hair in particular makes it look like it's based on Brianna Wu, a game developer with published and we'll received titles and demonstrated technical knowledge. Mattel did good.
I'm not an expert, but knew immediately your numbers were bullshit...
Well it's a good thing you live in Ontario. Please by all means let the people of the SWON know this immediately and that you're a subject expert. While doing so, please inform the provincial government of Ontario of this. I'm sure you'll have set position for the life of the government.
Oh wait, you mean wikipedia isn't the end-be-all of information? Well damn, guess you're outta that job huh.
FYI, last summer storm that blew through here had 119mph winds. And seeing multiple rotating cells with sustained wind speeds above 70mph happens more often then people realize. Also keep in mind that this is one of the worst governments that the province has elected in the last 20 years, outranking even the NDP days of Bob Rae.
Just remember that these governments want to control all of these databases of medical records, faces, biometrics. You can see how secure that is going to be.
Gotta get around the privacy laws first, and in Canada that's much more difficult then compared to the US or even the EU. Each one of those things fall into individual areas of privacy law, in turn no government body is legally allowed to connect any of those going in turn by the privacy act. Unlike the US and many US citizens who go lulz privacy, the laws are strict enough here that even companies like Facebook have bowed down to them.
He would have been better donating them to Venezuela, with the on-going problems and food riots it might have helped a bit. There's also the possibility that it would have simply intensified the problem.
When wind speeds are so high that wind mills don't work, you have different problems than lack of electricity.
You mean besides reality? Well I sure don't know what that would be.
Hint: I suggest to read till what speeds wind mills actually do operate. And then check how often you have a storm that covers whole Canada that exceeds those speeds. I would wager it is already impossible to even have a storm that big, regardless of wind Speed.
Well let's see, depending on the site they can stop producing power here between 35-50km/h, how often do that happen? Depends on where you are of course. Alberta? BC? Quite often. Ontario? You near the lakes, areas like around Hamilton or London? Top of a hill where they like to place them? Well whatja know that's fairly often. Can't of course forget during severe weather too, and in a populous area like Southern Ontario, those sudden bouts of severe weather? Well you can get as little as 15 minutes notice, especially when they're lake driven.
And there are some parts of the world where people have electric grids and can transport electric power from the producers to the consumers, facepalm.
Yeah we have one of those in Canada too! Just think, it still doesn't work properly...
Don't worry if reality kinds flies over your head or anything. Because nobody is building power plants, transmission lines, roadway/rail/plane infrastructure 400-600km away from civilization because it's so cost prohibitive. That's doubly so when it becomes such a weak link that the loss of said infrastructure means no power for 2-3 months. Which of course is why in Canada we built our power generation facilities usually within 40km in remote regions, and it's still extremely expensive to do so and there is usually only one link to provide power.
I'd be good with that especially here in Ontario. When the whole "green energy" thing started, they were paying 0.87kWh for solar and wind. It's about 2/3's to 1/2 that now, but it's still driving the peak price for electricity through the roof. Compared to nuclear, hydro-electric, coal or natural gas which was paid 0.0005-0.0083 for subsidies.
Large scale maybe, but if every home could provide 75% of their load through local solar panels during a hot summer day then the overall grid will be better. As the usage wouldn't spike as much.
Sure, and how about the winter? Spring? Fall? You know in places like Canada where the vast majority of our winters are overcast, same with the spring, fall is hit or miss. When windmills don't work because the winds are so high that they'd cause damage. In some parts of the world renewables are a pipe dream and only work when there's something else(mainly nuclear, coal or hydro-electric in Canada) there to back up the energy that's not produced when the environment itself doesn't cooperate.

Nothing legal about it.
I rather have the government "screw up" the economy, than the economy screw up the environment.
You say that now, because you're likely employed in the first world. With a high paying job, in either a downtown area or suburb where the loss of thousands of blue collar workers jobs will have minimal impact. Right up until the downtown starts shutting down, and your company moves out.
So why are you making excuses like a shill would do?

You paranoid, authoritarian piece of shit.
You seem to be pretty butthurt. Maybe while you're flailing around you can wake up from your hugbox nightmare and realize that the current government administration is lying to you so damn hard that if makes realpolitik seem like a nice sunny sunday afternoon.
Illegal in Canada under CASL. Can't wait for them to start doing it to me so I can sue them.

HBM is the answer to your memory bandwidth issue. Especially since it allows for die stacking.
The hair in particular makes it look like it's based on Brianna Wu, a game developer with published and we'll received titles and demonstrated technical knowledge. Mattel did good.
Can't say that's a good plan aposematism and all that. FYI Wu hasn't had any acclaim to their titles outside of what they paid reviewers for. Every site that gave big accolades was a tablet pay-as-you-go review site, and demonstrated technical knowledge? Is that before or after they got put in their place by actual developers? Or where they're simply a sack of shit? Or they're considered one of the biggest jokes around.
Sorry, you can try polishing a turd but it's still a piece of shit in the end. And in this case, one that stinks.
