I found an app on Google Play called Smart Ruler Pro. It was just one of those simple on-screen ruler apps... What was smart about it, and what the pro version had over the normal version was not very clear.
I haven't looked but I bet there is an AI powered ruler app or three by now.
In the post-truth modern era everyone who contradicts your preferred reality is a liar. Everyone else is biased and can safely be dismissed. Only you are objective, the only human able to build a clear and true picture of the world. This grants you moral authority and intellectual superiority.
Perhaps, but Trump's steel tariff is not going to hurt China much. It's almost perfectly incompetent, in fact.
China is the 11th largest supplier to steel to the US. Obama introduced tariffs which pushed them down to that level already. So 25% on steel won't hit China much, but it will hit America's allies. And Trump needs to work with those allies to deal with the oversupply issue.
What's worse is that the tariff will hit US workers the hardest. US steel workers might benefit a little, but there are far more working in industries that use steel to build stuff. And they are going to lose out.
China makes some surprisingly good cars. They also have a lot of electric vehicles and patents on EV technology. European manufacturers that ignored EVs for too long are buying in Chinese tech to catch up.
The only reason you don't see more of them outside of China is that they can't make them fast enough. Demand in China is huge, and expansion into other markets is expensive so they are saturating the home market first.
CGI is so cheap now they can probably do a lot on the budget Disney will provide for this. Look at Star Trek Discovery as an example. Almost every scene has CGI in it, and pretty good CGI at that.
Aside from straight to lies, "alternative facts" are a huge problem. Things that are kinda true but which are misleading or deliberately omit important caveats.
Statistics are often abused as alternative facts, because you can work the numbers to say pretty much anything you like.
Video games are just what the NRA told Trump to blame, to shift attention away from calls for gun control.
Video games are thought of as an ideal target by the old people running the NRA, because they associate them with youth. Young people keep shooting up schools, so find something young people do which seems on the face of it insanely violent and like a perfect gun training / murder practice simulator.
They didn't realize that games are fairly mainstream now and a lot of players are well into their 40s. This will hopefully backfire badly.
Or the more common definition, from your own link:
the share or proportional part of a total that is required from, or is due or belongs to, a particular district, state, person, group, etc./quote?
It's the required bit that most people refer to when talking about quotas. And even under your less common interpretation, it's still just you obsessing over any mention of numbers while I was clearly indicating that the equilibrium will be a natural consequence, not a goal or end in itself.
See, you are obsessed. You interpret everything on the assumption any any mention of numbers implies that they are a goal or desirable.
Being unemployed in Europe is pretty shameful for most people.
In fact some people are so desperate to get jobs they will vote for far right populist politicians in places where unemployment is very bad, like Italy.
Even France, which has really generous employment benefits, has been tightening the system up over the past few years.
How can you plan for being replaced by AI though? It's hard to predict who what jobs will be replaced in what order, and once it really gets going there won't be enough jobs to go around any more.
At least we have the right to be forgotten now. It's possible to recover something of your life by preventing employers from finding that information when they google your name.
You are so obsessed with quotas that you can't comprehend any other way. Can't understand anyone who doesn't want quotas. It's like something short circuits in your brain, so you go back to your nice straw man.
We need a new name for this. It's like a straw man but not deliberate, just a consequence. Like a puppy that gives unconditional love, no matter how wrong you are.
Japanese manufacturers have been offering something similar for years, and not just for computers. Even cheap desk calculators come with anti-bacterial easy-clean cases. Basic computer cleaning wipes often advertise anti-bacterial properties.
Probably not medical grade but great for people with a germ phobia.
Most SSDs support this, in fact. Encryption has been a standard feature for several years now. The secure erase command simply generates a new key, making the old data inaccessible.
Most use AES128. Drives that support OPALv2 let you pick your own encryption key, but virtually all SSDs on the market use an internally generated one if you don't.
We are finally starting to see really physically secure computers. AMD now supports encrypted RAM with very little performance loss (a few percent). Better IOMMUs protect against Thunderbolt attacks.
Connected vehicle has been around for ages. In fact it will probably become mandatory soon, in order to automatically report accidents. If the airbags deploy the vehicle sends an SoS over the mobile network, with the location of the crash.
The easiest way to disable it is probably to disconnect the antenna. Then it will just think it is in a bad signal area and not start throwing up error messages.
In the UK when this has happened they generally rely on being able to show that the evidence could not reasonably have been planted due to thinks like date stamps, extended browsing history over several months or years, and corroborated with other devices found at the owner's house. In the UK they can also ask your ISP for the logs they are legally required to keep tracking which domains connect to.
People have argued successfully in the past that things like images in the browser cache may never have appeared on screen or been requested by the user, and that single images or files are not enough evidence on their own. Of course, by that point their spouse has left them, they lost their job and even their family thinks they are paedo, and they sold their house to pay for their defence, and it's taken 3 years from the point of arrest...
Laws do require people to report stuff when they find it in the course of their normal activities, but that's quite different from giving people a monetary incentive to search through private property looking for evidence of a crime. It would be like paying a doctor to do unnecessary and covert drugs tests just so that they can report users to the cops.
I've been looking at setting up a WP site for a friend who owns a hotel. Getting a basic site with a nice theme and some content is fine, but he wants a booking system too. Being a small hotel he can't really justify spending a lot on the big commercial solutions. At the moment he manages bookings via email and a spreadsheet.
The might not sound crap. The HomePod sounds okay, their earpods sound okay for what they are.
I just don't see the point of noise cancelling cans any more. I have a pair of AKG Y50BT that sit on the ear and cut external noise as much as Bose Quiet Comfort do simply by forming a good seal. They are more comfortable, lighter weight, work without being charged and don't have that annoying sense of pressure you get from noise cancelling.
A well balanced breakfast, being necessary to the health of the nation, the right of the people to keep and eat cereal, shall not be infringed.
So what about crops that can be used for cereal but which people are turning into fuel? That's the issue here, it's saying that people have a right to own guns in order that the well regulated militia may exist, not because they want to use them for personal defence against criminals, for example.
That might actually be a good system of gun control.
You are avoiding the issue. Okay, forget tanks and artillery, let's start from the other end.
What about nuclear bombs, ICBMs, fuel-air bombs, stealth bombers etc?
Is it even legal to mine your own land in the US? I seem to recall the US didn't sign up to limits on the use of landmines but I don't know about personal use.

Oh Mashiki, you troll yourself. How have you convicted yourself of all this nonsense?

When Chinese companies learn from American ones it's called called stealing. Maybe it's all just bullshit.
Also, you don't know what cultural appropriation is. I mean, I don't really buy into it much either, but at least I bothered to learn what it is.

Vote for socialists perhaps?

Any suggestions for that kind of thing?
There are loads of location spoofing apps on Google Play. It's a standard feature of Android that developers often use for testing.
I just wish there was a way to spoof it only for certain apps, so you could poison their advertising data.
