Can't see conservatives buying it. If they are upset about having to put messages they don't like on cakes they won't like being forced to host the Gab app.
If it happened the next step would be demanding age ratings on apps, except for Bible/Koran apps that are allowed to contain all the violence and sex they like but not get an adults only rating.
The way that similar schemes work is to aggregate over the wider EU and consider things like how much the company invests in EU projects. Netflix partners with the BBC and other British television companies, for example.
If you account that never posted got banned it's probably because you followed people with lots of bot accounts and then never did anything to suggest you were a human.
The only time I've heard this kind of rant is from people like you complaining about it. TFA it's calmly noting a significant milestone in the saga of the Fukushima disaster, so where are you getting it from?
A well designed building prevents glare and harsh reflections. If the building isn't well designed then the windows can be covered with paper to diffuse the light, or you can use high CRI daylight bulbs to replicate sunlight. For reduction of eye strain and headaches high CRI is great.
The other big quality issue with Tesla that rarely gets mentioned is beta software.
Because they can do OTA updates they release cars half finished and promise to release basic features later, but then never do. It's as bad as game developers.
For example, take speed sensitive volume control. Very basic feature that has been standard on car stereos for what, 20 years now? Tesla promised it years ago, even got as far as making the check box for it visible but it didn't work properly, and last time I checked that box had gone away again.
And now other manufacturers are getting the same idea. The Jaguar iPace launched with unfinished software and all the fanboys are complaining about early reviews that didn't wait for the promised big update that will fix everything.
The main issues for Tesla now are price and quality. The Model X is an impressive car, but they can't build them consistently. I've never seen one that didn't have poor door alignment or ridiculous panel gaps. Not to mention the amount of service centre visits people are having to make.
For that reason alone the Jaguar iPace and this new Mercedes will be popular with people who want a car built to a high standard. With those brands you know it's going to be perfect, and they won't tell you "sorry 10mm misalignment of the door trim is normal".
The price problem is at the lower end. The Model 3 was supposed to be affordable at $35,000, but they have been beaten to that market segment by Hyundai and Kia, and very soon Nissan. They all make cheaper long range EVs with a higher spec than the base Model 3 will have when it eventually launches. Range in particular is a big deal because the $35k version has a 40% smaller battery than those other cars and yet costs more.
I don't think that's a big issue right now for Tesla, they will just keep serving the $50-70k market, but in the longer term their plan seems to be to go for the super high volume affordable end.
It looks like they compared the Model X that is closest in price to the Mercedes. Of course if you are willing to pay a lot more you can get a little bit extra range.
5.1 seconds is faster than base model Teslas. The Model 3 non-performance is "slower" than that. And by slower I mean by a fraction of a second that no-one cares about except fanboys playing Top Trumps.
Range wise 280 miles is pretty decent. Take the Hyundai Kona, which is rated for just under 300 and will do a solid 250 at 70 MPH. That's 3.5 hours of solid driving, say 3 hours to allow some buffer. Don't know about the US but in Europe that is getting close to the legal limit for commercial drivers to take a break.
Keep in mind that this is a European car and European charging infrastructure is very different. Here we have decent CCS networks in many countries, while there is often a lack of Tesla superchargers. And often the superchargers are a little way off the main routes while CCS tends to be at motorway service stations and the like, so often supercharging doesn't offer any real speed advantage.
I'm not so bothered about my own posts, someone else usually says the same thing after the snowflakes have run out of mod points. But by then the debate haa been screwed up.
The other thing is that UK wages are very low, well below other EU countries and steadily falling. For good candidates who are young and have few ties keeping them in the UK the salaries elsewhere are very attractive.
Indeed, it's more to do with young people having their futures ripped away by Brexit and seeing that the UK is on a downward spiral, with all the wealth and property owned by the boomers and little opportunity for them to reach the same level.
Couple that with the government trying to reduce immigration by reducing foreign student numbers and there is a serious lack of talent right now. Companies just can't get the skills they need, or retain them.
Try going into McDonalds, getting on your soapbox and lecturing the patrons about almost anything. See how long their "not illegal" standard of required behaviour holds for.
Assuming you are right and I'm some kind of glorious asshole (and presumably all my friends are just wrong, they should hate me but haven't realized it yet) does that justify threats and sending stuff to my wife?
What's sad is that my post was modded "troll". Slashdot used to be one of those places were you could express a genuine opinion and make your argument, and even if people disagreed at least they wouldn't accuse you of trolling.
I feel like it's not just Slashdot though. Politics in general and most media has become more polarized.
Yeah, EXP is okay, but if you do electronics you often need a lot of small units. So for microamps you need to press 7 EXP 9 +/-. With Casio the older ones you could do 7 SHIFT u, and on the newer ones you could have the shortcut keys on screen so it's one key. Having a "u" on screen saves a lot of space and makes the function a lot easier to read when you have lots of them.
The graphic ones can display the SI suffixes in results too.

No, you have me confused with someone else. The state should never have this kind of invasive power.
Those who fail to study history are doomed to repeat it.
These things are always abused. Always.

They are worried that Trump will keep them out of government for a long time. The conservatives in the UK have the same fear over brexit.

The ban a lot of bots and sock puppets.

Like spam filters, mistakes happen.

The phrase "deep state" makes you sound like a crazy conspiracy theorist. Do you really believe that such a thing exists?

"-1 Troll how dare you question the prescribed narrative!"
When you are offended by people asking for evidence that your religious dogma is true you have a problem.
I'm not so bothered about my own posts, someone else usually says the same thing after the snowflakes have run out of mod points. But by then the debate haa been screwed up.
Keep hearing this claim but never see any evidence. Surely if it was true someone would have used packet capture to prove it by now.
I wish they would still make really good engineer calculators. They all seem to be focused on academia these days.
The other thing is that UK wages are very low, well below other EU countries and steadily falling. For good candidates who are young and have few ties keeping them in the UK the salaries elsewhere are very attractive.
If only the moderation knew that. These days anything that goes against the groupthink is modded "troll" or "flamebait".
Maybe we should get rid of the "flamebait" mod, it's basically "you annoyed me with your opinion so I will punish you".
Indeed, it's more to do with young people having their futures ripped away by Brexit and seeing that the UK is on a downward spiral, with all the wealth and property owned by the boomers and little opportunity for them to reach the same level.

Except when they follow through and call in a SWAT team or turn up at your house. Those things happen regularly.
