To be fair, someone who just saved a bunch of children from an extremely dangerous situation when your own shitty idea was rejected is not trolling you. And calling them a paedophile would get most CEOs fired immediately. Musk was extremely lucky.
They are happy to take down individual result and torrent detail pages though.
I doubt it's got anything to do with the nature of TPB, it's just that the homepage is so sparse that there is nothing infringing on it. Naturally they only process take-downs for pages that actually have infringing content on them.
Strange that they thought the warehouse was a good idea, most other manufacturers moved to the just-in-time delivery model they ended up with long ago. The Honda plant in the UK, for example, has 15 minutes of stock on hand and it's all on the assembly lines, with the same set up where trucks deliver directly to where the parts are needed. It's well established, tried and tested.
I'd love to know what drove that decision. Maybe they just felt it might help them ramp up since they didn't have the experience to simply build a high capacity line right off the bat.
LG seems to be their main competitor at the moment. The packs they are making for Hyundai, Kia, Nissan and GM are cheaper per kWh and have better warranties than the Panasonic/Tesla ones.
When the rich move out of the city, it is called "White flight", which is bad.
Doesn't this sort of suggest that there is a very strong correlation between being rich and being white? Maybe that's both the reason they leave and the reason it's considered bad.
This is a common denier tactic - exaggerate all the arguments made by the scientific community, the peer reviewed science. Then claim that it was all proven wrong.
That sounds like anti-freedom. If you can't get injunctions while legal matters are being decided then either you have no real legal recourse (once it's published you are screwed even if you ultimately get it banned) or you have to rush through the case so fast no-one has time to properly prepare.
The latter just happened in the UK and the guy is now out on bail pending a second trial, which is a fuck-up for everyone. He may have wrongly spent time in jail, the court system has to waste time and money on a do-over etc. An injunction while the matter is properly, correctly settled is how freedom and justice are preserved for everyone.
Someone said "hay, wouldn't an all screen phone be cool?" and so they made it, but then realized that there was nowhere to put the camera and earpiece so they cut a little notch out at the top and then Apple copied them and now phones with an ugly chunk taken out at the top are the thing for 2018.
This is untrue. If you have evidence that Chrome tracks you, please post it.
The closest it comes is with the malware protection that is enabled by default and which submits certain URLs for checking. Disabling it stops any submissions. In fact the only thing you can't disable is a one-time installation ID used during updates. If that bothers you then there is Chromium.
Windows 10 we know for sure is spying on you, because we have solid evidence like packet captures and admissions from Microsoft thanks to GDPR. Can you provide some evidence to support your claims about the others?
Gave a Chromebook to my mum. Linux would be a support nightmare. Only peripherals she needs are a mouse and occasional USB memory stick. Speakers sound fine, 32GB storage is fine.
It's a great low maintenance machine. Somehow they made updates work properly, not like Windows. Some people crap themselves about the cloud stuff but for her having a proper backup is worth the small privacy trade-off, and Chrome with uBlock Origin blocks most of the advertising stuff anyway.
The only real issue she has is that now and then they make a cosmetic change to Chrome, but she had that with Firefox and Pale Moon on Windows too.
I've noticed that their developer hiring practices seem designed to filter out all but the most naive graduates. They make you jump through hoops and do ridiculous tests like you were still at school. Then the pay and conditions are crap anyway. I guess some graduates hear the name and think it's prestigious or will look good on their CV.
That kind of injury is quite common and well understood. Counting may have involved a lot of repetitive movement, and possibly some unpacking to count the number of items in a box or similar. This is quite common with things like checkout staff or workers on factory lines.
The resulting injury can cause pain when performing certain movements but not others. The "back" isn't one organ or muscle, it's a whole collection with different parts being used for different things. I have some back pain myself and certain movements, like standing and bending to tighten a screw on an item on a desk at sitting height is now quite painful, but I can drive just fine.
Unfortunately this kind of disbelief at injuries and disabilities is quite common and makes life very difficult for people suffering from them. I've had abuse for not wanting to give up my seat because I look outwardly "normal", and heard comments about people in wheelchairs faking it, especially if they stand up for some reason.
âoeWhen should we as a society paternalistically decide that the participants in these sports and entertainment activities must be protected from themselves â" that the risk of significant physical injury is simply too great even for eager and willing participants?â
That's so shockingly ignorant of the law you have to assume he was being deliberately obtuse in order to push his personal agenda. It actually sounds like something a politician would say, rather than a judge whose job is to interpret the law.
The law doesn't say people can't do dangerous things without creating liability. It says that when doing dangerous things a reasonable effort to prevent foreseeable injuries must be made.
The Amiga PSUs were actually pretty good, because they were linear. Modern ones are switch mode which are smaller and lighter, but you get much more noise.
The main issue with the Amiga ones is that they are not very powerful. I see to recall the A1200 one only being 25W, the A500 one being only a little more. You could run an accelerator but then adding an extra floppy drive was pushing it.
8/16 bit era joysticks were vastly superior to gamepads because they were right handed. For some reason we ended up with the directional controls operated with the left hand on gamepads and modern joysticks, when most people favour their right hand for precision control.
You can get right handed arcade sticks nowadays, but the last time I saw a right handed gamepad was the Playstation era and it didn't look great.
I am looking into 3-D Plastic Guns being sold to the public. Already spoke to NRA, doesnâ(TM)t seem to make much sense!
All you can conclude from this is that Trump doesn't understand what a 3D printed gun is or how they are made or how they are distributed, and when the NRA tried to explain it to him he just got even more confused.
I don't think he has an actual position, he is just working on behalf of the NRA.
IANAL and certainly not a US one, but isn't the point of orders like this normally to allow for further legal proceedings to be completed before something irreversible is done?
In the UK the judge would have to think that there was either a reasonable chance that the people seeking to block the release might ultimately prevail, or that the release could be so serious that it merits a pause to hear legal arguments.
In other words it sounds like the judge isn't making any kind of decision on constitutional rights or anything like that, just allowing them to be heard. That might actually be a good thing for supporters of Defence Distributed because by getting all the legal arguments settled now when DD is in a strong position and has a legal defence fund.
Trump broke campaign finance laws. We have tapes proving that in the public domain now.
So we know he is guilty of something, it's just a question of how much. I'm thinking he probably lied about not knowing about his son and campaign manager meeting Russians in his building with his name on it where his campaign was based.
The Hyundai Kona is very competitive with the M3, and the soon to be released Kia Niro and Nissan Leaf 60 probably will be too. This is in no small part thank's to LG's excellent battery pack. They managed to get the cost down lower than Tesla, and are able to offer an unlimited warranty on it.

Tesla already has a web browser, with Javascript enabled. The security wheels came off that one long ago.

So is the fabled $35,000 Model 3 still going to be $35,000 even without the tax rebate?

Basically this "comment" is that an denialist wants to stick their head in the sand for a few more years.
I might give that a try. A right handed Saturn pad would be amazing... But I'll probably end up with a right handed arcade stick.

Poor Trumpian snowflakes, trolled by people commenting on things he said. They are going to ever so upset come election time.

Even cheaper and easier is a Raspberry Pi. Also supports physical joystick ports and even real Amiga keyboards.
Emulation is pretty good these days. I still like to have a real Amiga with a proper CRT monitor around though.
