He's used to people kissing is ass because he's rich. He's used to being above normal laws and paying to make problems go away, because he's rich.
Doesn't work in international politics though. Not least because at the pace economies and negotiations move the rest of the world can just wait for 2020. Realistically he's got a year left to do anything and there are some big problems headed his way during that time.
You really need to learn to google before believing the first thing you read about a controversial event like this. There are people out there looking to mislead you for their own ends.
As it explains it wasn't even a one-off event, it was an issue over two years, and the suspension was as the result of many other issues:
As of last month, Adamo had been âoeunilaterallyâ removed by Augsburgâ(TM)s provost, citing a âoerange of issuesâ raised by students: âoebias and discrimination,â âoerespect for students,â âoeteaching competenceâ and âoeprogram leadership.â These âoeissues,â a release from the university said, go beyond âoethat specific eventâ in October.
I can't be bothered to spend more time investigating the incident but it doesn't seem to be what that article you linked to suggests it is. And even if it was, mistakes by one group do not render an entire idea that was incorrectly applied wrong. If that were true the first miscarriage of justice would invalidate the law in question.
The global birth rate has been falling for decades, mostly due to education and empowerment of women. For example, Bangladesh went from an average of over 8 (!) children per woman to around 2.4 now. Globally the rate has gone from around 5.5 to under 2.5 today.
The population of the world continues to rise more quickly than this data might suggest because people are also living longer, so there are more generations alive at the same time.
Better healthcare tends to reduce the birth rate. When women come in to get an ultrasound scan it's an opportunity to educate them, and to talk to them about family planning. It also makes them feel more secure about their children's future, and so less inclined to have many as a way to mitigate the risk of their family dying out.
Using AI will make scans both more widely available and help prevent forced abortions based on the gender of the child.
The fine is calculated as the loss to other companies and economies from their actions, while also considering their ability to pay. The fine is just the first stage though; if they don't stop doing it there will be further fines and even legal action against individuals.
If you are worried that someone is going to trace you, they can do so with the same legal paperwork and subpoena's that they can use to trace all the rest of your IP traffic.
Random people can get a subpoena on a Chinese/European company as easy as that, can they?
The primary use for Opera's VPN will be unsecured wifi. You get off the plane, you don't have a local SIM, and the airport has free wifi. The hotel has free wifi. McDonalds has free wifi. And none of it is encrypted.
Using Opera's VPN effectively hides your IP address from most of the sites you visit too. They are not going to go out and get a subpoena just so they can geolocate your real IP address, even if it was legally possible to do so. It will also nicely bypass your ISP's blocks, in case you want to access SciHub or The Pirate Bay or whatever.
The address line thing may have been that it didn't support 128MB total address space, so stuff like the chipset and PCI devices got mapped into the 64MB address space.
Same thing happened when machines started hitting 4GB of RAM, but only showed up 3.5GB due to 32bit address limits.
Unions are about more than collective bargaining. They provide a forum for employees and can take concerns to management. Remember that HR works in the company's interests, where as the union rep works in yours.
A lot of people seem to be confused about what "inclusivity" is. It's nothing to do with hiring, it's about making sure that e.g. people with disabilities have a voice.
An example of both these things is the union asking for things like adjustable desks and better chairs. If an individual asks for a standing desk or a fancy chair to help with their back problems it can look like favouritism or a benefit and create resentment, but if the union asks for everyone to be accommodated or makes the case for individuals with specific needs based on the relevant laws it's different. Unions are a useful buffer between employees and corporate management.
Not everything Google does is about showing you ads. You can pay for their services and they are ad-free, e.g. cloud storage or books/movies on Play.
Given that they don't have ads on movies you buy from them and don't... I don't know, live stream your emails??? it seems bizarre that you would think they would try to do it on this service.
Depends how it works, if you can pay a flat monthly fee to play as many different games as you like that seems like a good deal. Similar to how Netflix is better than Blockbuster, it's not only more convenient but also flat rate for all you can eat.
As for lag, actually many games build in lag now. One of the most famous games is Street Fighter 5. Way back when SF2 became popular there was basically zero lag - the arcade machine reacted to button presses in less than 1 frame (16ms) and any delay was entirely under the control of the game designers.
Due to the rise of online gaming and base ping times of 3-4 frames (30ms to the server, 30ms to the other player) for SF5 they decided to just make the game constantly lag by 8 frames (128ms) in all modes, including single player. That meant there was no advantage to having a faster internet connection and momentary spikes in ping time could be tolerated. Players got used to it pretty quickly and just accepted it as part of the game.
Secondly, all the TV/movie streaming providers compress the video quite a lot more than a game can, without noticeably losing lots of detail.
This. Low latency video encoders are significantly lower quality than offline ones that can do multiple passes over the entire video stream. The only solution is to crank up the bitrate.
They did that to my wife. By the time they admitted to the iPhone 6 battery problems she had got a 3rd party replacement one installed, and they wouldn't offer her the cheap replacement. Then a few years later they started offering the cheap replacement to people who got 3rd party batteries too, but which point she had long switched to Android.
This is their modus operandi, delay for so long you throw the useless and too-expensive-to-fix product away before offering to fix it at cost.
Help me understand. It's a 2017 Macbook, and it failed in 2018... Presumably it came with a mere 1 year warranty and was just outside that, but don't have you any consumer protection laws to help you?
This. Show us the proof or sod off. Huawei has been more open than any US 5G manufacturer, offering access to source code and CAD files for verification. All Cisco has done is swear that the NSA isn't intercepting its hardware to install backdoors any more, probably because they hard coded enough of their own in that it need not bother any more.
Best solution would just be to stop all the targeting crap and reduce it to some extremely broad geographic areas. Area is the only really necessary selector.
This functionality should not be in the browser, it should be in an ad-blocker add-on. Corporations are bound by things like anti-trust and competition laws so they can never build a powerful, strict enough ad-blocker to win that war. It has to be an open source effort.
The EU has done immense good for EU citizens. Many of the rights we enjoy at work come from the EU and it's unlikely our national governments would have introduced them without the EU wide harmonization and the economic benefits that come from membership as an incentive.
Look at things like GDPR. Massively pro-citizen, it forces corporations to treat your data properly. We don't have the massive problems they have in the US with things like robocalls or companies selling personal data to the lowest bidder, because the EU made it illegal.
I've heard good things about Trello but avoided it for this very reason - it was free, but would inevitably become more limited unless you paid. I didn't want to get reliant on it and then end up paying whatever they demand to avoid the pain of moving.
At least with the various Git hosting services you can easily move to another any not lose much.
It's a well tested tactic on Slashdot. Rush in with a generic rant about how stupid having anything important being connected to the internet is and hope that moderators give you a +5 insightful without noticing that it's not really relevant.

Opera's VPN isn't worthless.

Electronics prices in the US seem to be about the same as the EU, once you remember to subtract local taxes. Particularly for computer hardware.
Also looking at Applecare it's a lot more expensive than what we get for free.

Inclusivity has nothing to do with hiring or diversity.
It's about making sure that the people already at the company are not excluded, directly or systemically.
It actually enhances meritocracy by ensuring that merit is measured in an unbiased, accurate way.
Unions are about more than collective bargaining. They provide a forum for employees and can take concerns to management. Remember that HR works in the company's interests, where as the union rep works in yours.

Why is American so vulnerable to this happening? It doesn't happen in Europe where unions are fairly common.
What is it about America that allows employers to make unionizing a losing proposition for the employees?
Would an extremely sensitive snowflake care to explain why this is trolling?
No, they would be doing it for a fee.

If your application is allocating memory millions of times over any significantly short timescale then you fucked up.
