Since Google is blocked in China all Chinese Android users already have their own alternative versions, e.g. their own app stores and search services to replace the missing ones. Huawei is no exception so all they need to do is have a plan to continue core OS development on their own, rather than starting from scratch.
That would make sense, given that Android is open source and there are lots of apps for it.
A few western companies have already done the same thing, e.g. with compatibility layers for running Android apps on other operating systems.
Problem is that by doing so they are missing out on developing their EV tech, getting patents on it and serving a rapidly growing market segment. In 5 years time with millions of EVs shipping and people switching in droves due to lower running/maintenance costs and performance they will be starting from scratch.
Just wear a mask so you look like someone with a good credit score, e.g. one of those novelty Winnie the Pooh ones. Best of all you don't even have to pay for the ride!
For your record calculation to be recognized you need to demonstrate that you made some effort to determine if it was correct or not, which usually means using two different algorithms and comparing the results. So actually she calculated Pi to 31.4 trillion digits twice, the second time with different code for verification of the first calculation.
For verification the tool in question has two methods of calculating digits of Pi, and compares the results.
For automating 25 clicks, I would assume it was more than a single click but even so, what geek hasn't wasted more time automating something that it would have taken to do manually? Manual repetitive tasks are boring, automation is an interesting little task.
Unfortunately smart TVs have become like everything else that supports updates - they release them with half finished beta software and maybe fix it later.
I bought an LG smart TV, initially the CEC function was barely working. A few months later a firmware update fixed it.
Sometimes they do actually add useful functionality too. Panasonic recently introduced Dolby Vision support via firmware update.
Well their goal is zero carbon, so it's more a question of how much can they capture. If they capture 1kg of CO2 somewhere they can then emit 1kg of CO2 somewhere else and it's net zero.
Obviously the more CO2 they emit generating electricity the more they need to capture elsewhere. So it makes sense to pick low emission technology for generation because then it's easier to get to net zero.
Nuclear can be fairly low, but only in the absolute best case for fuelling it and dealing with the waste. In practice it's not great, and spending the money to get it down to that best case doesn't make sense given the alternatives.
Nuclear isn't low carbon though. If they want to get to carbon free they will need renewables, but fortunately they have space and good resources for those.
"censorship now been used by brands commenting on what they see as sinful"
What is this? Seems like they would do the opposite, e.g. Gillette kept YouTube comments open because the triggered snowflakes just amplified their message.
Freeze Peach Warriors demand they get to be on Twitter. The thing is, if they actually got their way everyone else would just leave and they would be back to demanding to be on the next popular platform. They want to force people to listen.
Autocomplete uses DDG if that is your selected search engine. The rest is explicitly opt in. Also note that you can encrypt synced data with your own key.
In other words, Google doesn't record every web site you visit.wothout your permission, and can't read it if you don't want them to. They don't know what you enter in the search bar. Doing so would be a clear GDPR violation unless explicitly opted in to.
Your original comment was dishonest, and your follow up plain wrong.
Nah, it's just the freeze peach extremists who consider any failure to amplify and broadcast their bullshit to be an assault on liberty and literal genocide.
Scroll down a bit. You can drag the slider around to see the filter in action. In the example climate change skeptics are allowed even on the most conservative filter setting, as long as they can express themselves in civil language.
On the US election example even putting the slider to about 75% still shows the "your[sic] a socialist snowflake!" comment.
The problem is with every 10,000 trolls out there is there one spark of genius
The is the same argument used against email spam filters. 1 in 10,000 mails might be important and you will end up missing it. Even so, most people prefer to have the spam filter on.
Some people won't use this filter. Some, perhaps those with kids or more limited time or who just don't want to deal with trolls today, will turn it on. That's fine, it's not their responsibility to listen to everything being said. For those who want to browsing at -1 is available.

For that to work one infinitely long number would have to be longer than another infinitely long number.

So actually she calculated Pi to 31.4 trillion digits twice, the second time with different code for verification of the first calculation.
Actually, if you would describe the whole universe in binary format -or decimal if you wish-, it's already in the number pi. Somewhere.
Can't be, because some universal constants are irrational, and therefore cannot be in another number.

They should have made an adult spin-off site. Served both markets, resolved the issues for advertisers who don't want to be on a porn site.

spend other people's money on a pipe dream
More like stop helping people outsource their costs and redirect that money to things that will actually make life better for the average taxpayer.

So... You have everything except 8chan? Even Infowars and Brietbart heavily "censor" content by your standard.
Maybe Gab doesn't, but they do remove spam sometimes so I guess freedom is dead on that platform.
Oh and Slashdot doesn't let you post certain words, so I guess you feel oppressed here too.

I get to decide what I want to hear.
I get to decide what is on my platform.
You have the same rights.

How the fuck is that a slur? It's mocking a particular political view.
You are just making stuff up so you can get drunk.
Are great.

Ah, I had forgotten about that particular conspiracy theory. I assume you have zero evidence to back it up.
Shame as I'd love to be the one kicking off that GDPR complaint. Imagine being responsible for costing Google 4% of global turnover.
Nah, it's just the freeze peach extremists who consider any failure to amplify and broadcast their bullshit to be an assault on liberty and literal genocide.
Bizarre that Google is giving their product away to DuckDuckGo, isn't it? I mean how is that evil, it makes no sense.
In a free democracy no-one forces you to listen to them. The telescreen has an off button.
There is a demo of the system with examples of comments that are considered "loud" here: https://www.perspectiveapi.com...

I have the necessary attention span, but not the necessary amount of free time.
