The facts, huh? Your link is an inaccurate summary of a WaPo story, which it actually links to but I'll repeat it here: https://www.washingtonpost.com...
As anyone can read for themselves, it does not say that the Democrats want totally open borders. That is simply false, and in fact as the article notes they are willing to fund ICE.
From what I can tell the main improvement is that it works better with screens.
Back when Apple switched to Helvetica it looked really bad on standard 100 PPI screens, because it was designed for print. With 4k 200 PPI screens it's pretty decent but not perfect.
Even if we talk them at their word on that, if they really did remove a million copies how come there were no repercussions for people posting it? It's a clear violation of Facebook's terms. And why were they only reactively removing it, why not block it being posted in the first place? That's what YouTube does, when you upload a video it immediately tells you that parts of it are blocked on copyright grounds.
You could require that in the event of bankruptcy whoever buys the assets has to maintain the service. If the assets can't be sold then the liquidator should use the money available to maintain the service, or release as much information as possible so that people can set up their own servers or install open source firmware.
I anticipate that one of the consequences of such a law would be that devices become less reliant on central servers, which is a good thing. It should also help discourage companies from abusing an online requirement in order to lock the owner in to their revenue stream or break the second hand market.
You only need about 20% more autogas to go a given distance, not double. The energy density is around 50-60% that of petrol, but it's converted more efficiently into motion.
If you think the cost of supporting EVs on the electrical grid is trillions (presumably of dollars) you have no idea. Anyway it doesn't matter what you think, it will happen any the grid will have to cope with it, like it or not.
Here's an example of how similar rules already apply under GDPR.
You apply for a mortgage onl. You are declined by the bank's computer. You have the right to ask why you were declined (transparency) and to have the decision reviewed by a human.
For facial recognition transparency would mean disclosing things like how reliable the system is, and if it has know limitations (e.g. less reliable with dark skin), and having a system in place to handle an correct errors. Explaining how it works would involve explaining how the system was trained to recognize faces, and what you did to ensure it isn't biased.
People care, just not enough to stop using the free services that Google provides.
Most adults have realized that you don't get something for nothing and almost everything is you trading a bit of yourself, your time or your money or your soul, in exchange for something you want.
What monitoring, tracking and advertising is that?
Please state specifically what monitoring, tracking and advertising Chrome does with the default settings. As far as I'm aware the only thing it sends is a randomly generated installation ID when checking for updates. Default search engine is Google but you can change it. Chrome does not have any advertising built in.
C++ is the ultimate career armour. Pick an exotic C++, use it extensively in your business critical app, and you have a job for life because no-one else will touch it with a barge pole.
We really need to clamp down on that hard. Companies use the excuse of not being obligated to provide services to the second owner to make used items basically worthless, and thereby destroy the second hand market.
Everything that requires some kind of service to work should have a minimum of 5 years support (longer for long lived things like cars) and that support must be transferable to any new owner.
Isn't there some law against covertly recording people without their consent in the US? Even if the person wearing the thing is aware of it, those around them may not be.
This is why high speed rail is so much better for flights less than a couple of hours. Much more reliable time tables, frequent departures, and no need to go to/from and out of town airport.
No business case for it. It fails so rarely, and the consequences are a few mocking tweets. Why spend any effort or money on it?
The reminds me of the post yesterday asking why everyone hasn't switched to Linux yet. Businesses don't care if it's "better" or "more reliable", they care about the cost and disruption when changing.
Besides this was probably a hardware fault, and Linux would not have helped. EEC RAM may have.
The point is that no-one has ever tried having an isolated, in-orbit habitat with decades of the stuff in it. Now we know nothing bad will happen if we set something similar up on the Moon or Mars, for example.
For all the problems they solve they create new ones, particularly the problem of mass producing hydrogen in a clean and sustainable way. Plus the cars themselves are much more mechanically complex.
Look at LPG. Hardly anyone has it, despite it costing half what petrol does and it being fairly easy to convert existing cars to it. Alternative fuels have been tried and they failed.
I don't meant the original live stream, the only way to have stopped that would have been to boot all the far right groups off in the first place. Then he probably wouldn't have bothered because no-one on there would have watched some random person's live-stream.
He would probably have used YouTube instead, trying to capture some of the PewDiePie audience.
I meant all the times it was re-posted. They claim to have removed over a million copies of it, but it was still widely available.
Even better would be if they did a deal with the EU to invest the fine money in EV R&D and building charging infrastructure, with a requirement to have X new EV sales and X new charging stations open by 2021.
In the UK we had to save copper by, for example, using ring main in homes. It's not like we went nuts installing extra capacity for the sake of it.
It's a solvable problem, that's the point. Everywhere has challenges, e.g. in the UK we need massive on-street infrastructure projects. Sound countries have started putting that in already. Upgrades were required, of course. But when you consider the long term, i.e. beyond next year's bonus, it's obvious that getting to be the vendor people rely on to run their cars is going to be extremely lucrative for decade after decade after decade.
It's probably not a software failure. More likely the PC running the software has been left on in the corner, gathering dust for years and years until it overheated and died. RAM failed, HDD crashed, cosmic ray flipped a bit in the CPU somewhere.

Probably because comparing Che Guevara to Hitler is ridiculous, and because we don't have a problem with Marxist revolutionary terrorism right now.
Even more fun when the machine won't boot and the SSD is soldered to the motherboard.

Yeah that's called "morality" and it tends not to follow along purely logical lines.

Works particularly well for contractors.

The first time. It has a limit of 1 use. And they won't repair the wall that the perp ripped it out of.
Also your home insurance will go up due to having filed a crime report.
