Most of it is just due to western manufacturers falling behind.
For example, around 80% of new busses in China are electric, and by 2020 it will be close to 100%. How many western bus manufacturers even offer serious hybrids, let alone fully electric models? Who even makes a 450kWh battery, except the Chinese?
On the personal vehicle side, few manufacturers outside China make models that are affordable in China, or even that affordable in the west. If it wasn't for the kind of "protectionism" that people complain about the Chinese doing, i.e. safety regulations and import duty, the west would be flooded with cheap Chinese cars. They are already popular in some places, e.g. a lot of Taxi drivers in London have been buying BYD electric vehicles for a few years now.
I wanted to try it, but there is no.iso to install with. Only some weird.img file for a USB stick. Eventually found a VirtualBox appliance that converted over to VMWare okay.
It's okay... the visuals are fine. I mean, it's a desktop, I only use it to launch apps and open terminal windows. The bundled apps are mostly the usual crapware, form over function, but you can install better ones. And as ever, the mouse wheel doesn't work very well without hacks.
So basically it's a pretty average distro with an annoying, scroll-breaking website and no simple way to install in a VM.
There is nothing they can do? I'm sure they could post a rebuttal, from their official account, and people would share it in response. Facebook already adds "contested" tags to some stories, with links to sources that contest it. Have they asked about being added to that system?
Sigh. According to TFA, you can still have your search bar if you want it. There is an option to have a unified bar or two separate bars.
But the bigger issue here is that maybe a unified bar is better. Most browsers have adopted this UI, and from a usability point of view it does seem to be better. URL detection is pretty reliable, it saves space, it makes it easier to find stuff because the search results include your browsing history and URL entry history without sending any of that information to a 3rd party... It's what most people want.
Not all changes to the UI are bad. Firefox has made some terrible ones, I know, I've stopped using it, but this one actually seems good.
Gay/straight isn't a binary choice anyway. As well as bi people, what is the definition of gay and straight?
Studies have found that guys who said they were straight often still got aroused looking at gay porn. Other studies that questioned people found that many had had a "gay experience" at some point in their lives and not necessarily hated it.
This is backed up by real world experience in environments where only one gender is present for long periods of time. Prison, the navy, that sort of thing. Straight people engage in gay sex sometimes.
I somehow doubt that this thing can detect that you got a handjob and enjoyed it.
The issue is that it's a matter of historical perspective. Most people in the US are illegal aliens from the point of view of native Americans who got there first.
We need to accept that there will never, ever be a unique, permanent identifier for every person. As useful as such an identifier would be, it can't exist.
Government issued IDs don't get issued to everyone, and due to errors sometimes get duplicated or associated with the wrong person. Names are not unique, even combined with dates of birth and the like. Names change over time, e.g. due to marriage. People are recorded as dead and then turn up alive and well more often than you might think, most often due to the clerk paper-murdering the wrong person.
This means that the banking system and a lot of other stuff needs to change.
This new prudishness from the alt-right and anti-SJWs is interesting. It's part of the nostalgia for an idealized version of the 1950s where women were pure and mainly concerned themselves with looking good to attract a man, and then kept him by cooking, cleaning and giving him children.
I think the thing that they find most attractive is that a woman's worth was defined by her ability to get a good man before they get too old (i.e. under 25). Thus women were somewhat desperate and willing to devote themselves to guys that these days get passed over.
In fact women would put up with all sorts of character flaws because of this. It also gives the modern guys a much easier goal to aim for - physical fitness. Rather than improving their personality so that women actually like they, they simply go to the gym and improve their bodies because that's the preferred measure of masculinity.
Of course, it's all bollocks. It wasn't like that in the 50s, it will never be like that, and we are all better off for it. But I can understand why it's attractive, all you have to do is lift and hold down a job and women will market themselves to your loins and become your lifelong servant.
CBS is a perfect example of how these old industries don't understand technology. A lot of piracy these days is via streaming sites - Game of Thrones piracy was about 85% streaming sites this year. So CBS thinks "people like streaming, so if we make a streaming site we can charge $15/month they will flock to it. We are a premium content channel after all, and this is our premium Star Trip franchise."
Beyond that they see an opportunity to become the cable company, to milk the customers for ridiculous amounts of money every month. Those days are coming to an end, people won't pay that sort of money any more. Streaming is popular precisely because the cable model, the channel model is so unattractive.
Just asking people to behave and reminding them of the consequences of cheating does actually work. It won't stop 100% of cheating but it will reduce it.
The story is stupid anyway. Look at the list of add ons they think they are going to lose:
DownThemAll - many similar add-ons exist for Chrome GreaseMonkey - Chrome version is called Tampermonkey NoScript - there is a Chrome version UnMHT - SaveAsMHT for Chrome
WebExtensions are largely compatible with the Chrome API so they should all port over just fine.
Status-4-Ever and Classic Theme Restorer are the only ones you will lose, but Pale Moon is a reasonable alternative if you really can't stand any of the many Chrome based offerings.
'561 is a great example of technical debt and the inevitability of code marked *** FIX LATER *** never being fixed.
Although the long-term solution to the problem is probably to add commands for specifying such information to the mail protocol command space (as suggested in RFC 524 -- 17140,), we hereby propose a more quickly implemented solution for the interim.
A bit of revisionist history there. As I recall Hilary had 30 odd years of attacks from the media, the email thing amounted to basically nothing in the end (and it looks like Trump's people have been doing it too), and there was a huge amount of pure bullshit posted about her right before the vote (e.g. the list of people she murdered, Pizzagate).
I seem to recall that a large number of emails were "leaked" by some person who appears to have links to Russia right before the election, and even though the FBI examined them (with impeccable timing) and cleared her the effect on her rating was undeniable.
She wasn't a great candidate, but she wasn't the monster she is portrayed as either.
Slashdot Mirror
Panasonic and Tesla have build the one of the largest battery factories in the world in the US. You guys could make bus batteries if you wanted to...
In fact, maybe Panasonic/Tesla are making them, for their new truck model.
VMWare does not support ".IMG" image files. You have to convert them manually.
How do I boot the image in VM Ware without using a USB drive?

They don't create many fake accounts. Look at the ones found so far, they rely on hundreds of thousands of useful idiots following them.
What tool do I use to copy it? Why can't I just boot it directly in a VM?

I type in LAN IP addresses all the time. By default in Chrome is just works as expected.

So is there actually some special price for gay people?
I'm mixed race but look white... How much do I have to pay?

This could be a lawsuit goldmine. Not just for the beech, but for errors people will now be able to discover in their reports.
