How is defunding Government oversight of a high risk industry and replacing it with for-profit rubber stamping by private companies "taking actions to significantly improve the climate"?
I thought he was going to drain the swamp, instead all I am seeing is increased opportunities for politically connected individuals to profit off the system.
Products that have no reason to have voice input and output are going to include voice control features just to get around the tariffs. This kind of market distortion is the worst kind of government interference in the free market there is, where real progress is masked by pointless "progress" in a direction that is coerced by government interference. Samsung and Baidu have already developed their voice assistant technology, so this market distortion isn't even going to necessarily benefit American companies.
It was even worse when they hid "m.", as these are often reduced functionality versions of websites, and it is sometimes important to be able to see that you've ended up there by mistake. I notice twitter has already switched from m.twitter.com to mobile.twitter.com to counter this.
That was push button keyfobs. I'm pretty sure the GP, and TFA are talking about the keyfobs that transmit without any button needing to be pressed, so you don't even need to remove them from your pocket or bag. I remember them being advertised as a feature on quite ordinary cars in the mid 2000s, so 1998 Mercedes S class sounds plausible for a first appearance. Certainly they were around before Tesla had sold any cars.
As stated in the summary: Facebook has grown by purchasing their competitors. The summary mentions WhatsApp and Instagram specifically.
While this is true, so far they have not bought their competitors to shut them down, or to raise prices to the detriment of consumers. They are building a monopoly, but so far, it is not harmful from an economic perspective, and unfortunately I don't think anti-trust law is concerned with privacy, so the case for breaking up Facebook is not strong.
Apple would be a much juicier target, especially as they recently became the world's first trillion dollar company (with Amazon close behind). Splitting out the AppStore with the condition that Apple does not get any favorable terms compared with the general public could precipitate opening up the platform to competing App Stores or sideloading, or at least AppStore Inc being forced to lower its margin to something more palatable to keep that scenario at bay.
I do this, it is very convenient for deploying updates to the site. But I always put the web interface into a subdirectory, and only configure the web server to see that so the.git directory is not visible over HTTP. And dotfiles and directories are blocked in the webserver config for extra protection against accidental inclusion of invisible files.
This is the first to be officially recognized. Despite the two bodies from the basement needing days of decontamination before they could be turned over to the families for burial, the deaths were officially recorded as being due to the tsunami, and the reports said they died of bleeding from head wounds (whether that was head wounds due to being thrown around in the tsunami, or open sores due to radiation sickness is open to speculation given TEPCO's past record on disclosure).
DIVX the defunct Video CD rental company and DivX, the MPEG4 video and MP3 audio in an AVI (or in later versions MKV) container video file format are two completely separate things.
2 deg C (35.6 deg F) is kinda cold. I'd prefer not to have my temperature capped that low thank you very much.
(I know they probably mean temperature increase vs some arbitrarily chosen base, but the same mistake is made in several places in TFS, so it isn't just an isolated typo).
Surely easier to access why? I guess dead bodies don't have human rights any more, so they could waterboard the corpse until it coughs up the password, but is that really easier than a court order against a living being?
The point is they already stopped selling software, and now only let you rent the latest version. So I am sure they won't leave an older version available for those who don't update.
The only thing that has changed is that instead of having robots.txt that block crawlers, and posting news articles on pages with query strings in the URL that used to be excluded for crawling, and even if they weren't the URL would become 404 or a completely different article a few days after posting, newspapers have now come to terms with the internet and actively try to get their sites to rank.
Google's ranking algorithms have evolved, and they now index URLs even if they have a query string, but I don't think it is Google that is making a special effort to get mainstream news ranking higher, it is the news sites, and the fact that most people get their news online now is also contributing to their higher ranking.
Gates is correct about supply and demand not existing for software, because once you've written the software, supply is infinite. But this does not drive prices down as it should, instead it allows established players like Microsoft to monopolize the market, because Microsoft already made its development costs back, so can instantly drop their price below the point at which any newcomer can expect to make enough to cover their costs.
Shadow banned means nobody sees your tweets. So why would they get removed for going against groupthink? I think that ganja has you suffering from delusional paranoia, dude.
(not counting ones that could be considered neutral): "Is loyalty in Trump world a one way street?" "Trump's Criminal Enterprise is Crumbling" "White House Looking Like a Criminal Enterprise."
Enough teasing already, just show us the headlines that aren't neutral (by which I guess you mean based in fact rather than opinion)
I imagine with today's webpages, IE 3 (or whatever the last version was that ran on Windows 95) would cause a bluescreen with a heap overflow before it had finished parsing all the Javascript.
Yes, but if you want to stretch it out to its full hi-res 800x600 glory you have to stick with 16 to avoid running out of memory on the emulated VESA graphics card.
If Trump paid them with his own personal money, then your point is valid. His problem is the lies he and his lawyer told that keep him at arms length from the transaction. These make it look like a donation, and since he was a politician in the middle of a campaign, and the effect of that donation is to keep undesirable news from upsetting his campaign, that donation must be assumed to be a political donation.

The tariffs are >20% of the value of the product. A cheap mic is a few cents. Do the math.

Even if you don't use OneDrive, they will most likely start popping up ads for it whenever you access competing services, or your own hard drive.

Why stop there? Are there any dot files/directories that need to be served over HTTP?
They were found three weeks after the tsunami, so there was plenty of time for radiation sores to start appearing before it eventually killed them.

Think about what happens to the ship's center of mass when the cargo is sloshing around down below.

Please explain how shale oil and hydraulic fracturing count as "sources of energy that don't emit greenhouse gases".

No, that would be Deep South. South is Battersea.

Does it let you relive the glory of 256 colors?
Yes, but if you want to stretch it out to its full hi-res 800x600 glory you have to stick with 16 to avoid running out of memory on the emulated VESA graphics card.
