Apple intends to make the entire phone out of synthetic diamond
Introducing the Apple Diamond iPhone..... 100% encased in synthetic diamond. Charges up wirelessly with no physical jacks or ports (To make sure you cannot open it up to make repairs).
There's a difference between being generically offensive, and being offensive by targeting specific groups.
Sounds like he's been fairly equally offensive to all groups. Fact someone found 1 out of a thousand videos more offensive to X doesn't mean X was targeted.
Because EU lacks the ability to ban geoblocking when both company and customer are both outside EU. While it would be reasonable to allow say US citizens to connect to Netflix in Canada, both the US and Canada are outside of EU, hence allowed to ignore whatever they come with in Brussels.
Netflix does business in the EU; However, therefore, they must Adhere to ALL EU laws, because Netflix itself is subject to EU laws. At that point, they have to do so even if their Customer happens to be From and using the service outside the EU.
So they could in theory require Netflix to allow their US-based customer to still access their customer's US library while their customer is travelling in the EU.
They might stop short of doing that, because the EU doesn't have a strong reason to do so, and in a sense, it's the US that needs to pass laws protecting US citizens: cannot rely on the EU to do that for us.
its funny how some of these companies attack trump but then go around geolocking all their shit,
It is not Netflix; however. It is entertainment companies who license content differently in different jurisdictions either to maximize their profits, or to distribute their profits across multiple vacade organizations in order to minimize tax liability.
I suggested don't "Dissuade" them from using PayPal. Actively encourage an alternative method by providing the customer a financial incentive to use the method that is best for you as seller.
Give your customers an equal choice of all forms of payment. Note the percent transaction tax the merchant pays right beside each payment method offered.
At the very bottom, place a footnote: Buyers will receive a 3-X % store credit on purchases more than $10 with a payment processing tax less than %3.
AmiMojo: That would be a fair comparison, if they were Only counting centralized solar plant installs as Solar jobs, but that's not what they are doing. Their solar job count is effectively a count containing extra workers installing peoples' home electrical systems, with a little extra work for a secondary power source. But the amount of the job that is solar-related is miniscule compared to the amount of the electrical wiring work, considering the small task of mounting a bunch of panels is a brief task and can easily be done by roofing people.
By doing what they're doing, they are counting work involved in installing normal house electrical as Solar jobs, but almost all that work installing house electrical is work that would need to be done even if Solar wasn't being installed.
In the 21st century, people need electrical wiring coming into their building and feeding a panelboard, so they can turn things on in their house.
It's a fair comparison if they only consider labor hours spent actually mounting panels. Just about everything else is just house wiring install work, and a job involved with any electrical system being installed with secondary power source capabilities, such as Gasoline generator, which people commonly use.
If you're counting the work involved in wiring Solar panels into peoples' homes as Solar jobs, then you should be counting the work involved in installing normal Electrical service into peoples' homes as Coal/Natgas jobs.
What about resales where the merchant says upfront, they'll need to temporarily provide your steam password, so we can verify hardware and redeem the promotion?
I'd think that it's pretty obvious why they care. Game publishers don't like it when someone gives a promotional game download code to a friend, so they can install the game for free.
Now it changes to.... Hey, bud.... I can give you this Promo game, if you let me know your Steam password.
because the heart rate data had already been sent to a third party.
Not just any random 3rd party, a confidential patient-doctor exchange to a physician for purpose of medical treatment. Not for the purpose of retaining and sharing or using for business or other purposes as they like. Confidential privileged and sensitive private communications with a doctor. It's similar to sharing information with your lawyer for advise; there should bebody court holding an opinion that they are justified in prying.....
This makes sense for Google, but not for me. It's high time someone forked Chromium. While they're at it.... Add back in the ability to Easily see SSL certificate information!
If Microsoft says it's still the same computer for Windows OEM licensing purposes, so a new license purchase is not required, then I'll say it's still the same server.
Why do you say that's less impressive than running 24 years continuously? Any non-trivial application requires servicing eventually.
And how will you even be able to tell if that is the case?
In a virtualization environment; I have servers with 7 year uptimes. Of course, they have occasionally been vMotioned between hosts -- in some cases, servers have been checkpointed, Suspended for a few hours, then resumed in another datacenter without any operating system reboot, so if you go by OS uptime they've been up for 10 years.
Sometimes a server application can become stalled or break, So it's not provided continuous service, but there's no visible indication on the server, no administrative indication in the log, etc.
Over the past few years; i've chosen and backed a total of about 15 projects, and 100% of them ultimately did the project and delivered the backer reward they promised me, in a few cases there was a delay in expected timeline, and they wound up delivering even more goodies than promised....
So I could come to the provisional conclusion that 100% of kickstarter projects deliver:)
Some of the counterfeits were sold at Full price from trusted retailers such as Amazon and marked by the seller as Genuine OEM parts. There's literally no way to tell the difference, unless you Order the part, and then run tests on it or inspect it thoroughly, with a Bonafide one to compare to.
No "Science" behind the reasoning of what they set their doomsday clock at. This sounds like someone's way of expressing personal disdain for different political situations.
Particularly climate change denial by people in power -- they cited U.S. President Donald Trump -- and talk about more nuclear weapons.
Climate change in the short term is as inevitable as continued population growth. It's not too important whether people in power acknowledge it; It's going to happen.
If you want to stop climate change, then make human populations stop growing and start declining in countries that consume the most energy per person, And build nuclear power capacity, LOTS of nuclear power capacity.

OK..... Assume I want to not use Paypal..... How can I transact on eBay as a seller without getting a Credit card merchant account?

Having a catflap helps avoid the downsides of a poor choice either way though.
And provides random rodents access into the building....

while somehow not having time to bother rescuing his cat
Wait, What... He killed a cat?
Give him the chair!
Seriously, why is not animal cruelty in the list of charges with the arson?
Submit it as a bug to the Webkit project, and get support for the non-CSS3-standards-compliant CSS tags removed?
This makes sense for Google, but not for me. It's high time someone forked Chromium. While they're at it.... Add back in the ability to Easily see SSL certificate information!
Yeepp.... Probably systems that weren't doing any substantial amount of processing or I/O.
I don't know.... But this issue needs to get Security Vulnerability status, Because I am sure considering it as one.
I was previously recommending Chrome above Internet Explorer for security reasons, but because of this issue I have to reverse that now......
The key is to getting a good salary is to know what your work is worth, what people are paying for your skills.
This is Hard to find out. Also, to persuade people in a negotiation you need to be able to get some kind of source to be able to prove your claims.
It also varies between local markets, and near as I can tell, there aren't even companies I can buy this information from....
