If they want to be total idiots and go around showing people how stupid they are, great. It's healthy for society to have transparency. As long as they aren't going around mass-murdering people I'm not bothered with it at all. It's good to see things that are extremely stupid because exposure to diversity of opinion (and idiocy) fosters intellectual development and clarity of values. It's bad for society when people go around slaughtering and/or recruiting people to perform slaughters. I am in favor of Nazis being on YouTube and am against mass-murderers on Youtube.
I wonder what Xerox does these days. Do you still have anything like PARC? I know offices still use Xerox machines but still I would think business in that area would still be much smaller than it used to be with the emphasis on paperless. No one use copy machines at home anymore they do everything digital.
The reason so many black men are in jail is that they grew up in single mother homes without the role-modeling and discipline of having father. In other words, because welfare has incentivized single motherhood in black households.
The author explicitly states in the essay that he is a classical liberal not a conservative, though he recognizes the important role that both views provide.
He has a great point that diversity of thought is just as important as diversity of genitalia and skin color.
I was thinking I might go iPhone next time, but partly because of how impressed I am with the iPhone 7 display! Why anyone would want an OLED on phone is beyond me. The colors look ridiculous. You can spot an OLED phone from a mile away from the psychedelic color rendition. Can't do it!
27% better performance means it might be in the ballpark of the Apple A9 but nowhere near the current generation A10. In other words, when it comes out we'll be the 4th year into Apple being 1.5-2 generations ahead of everyone else. Starting to wonder if we're ever going to catch up. Right now the iPhone has literally twice the performance of anyone else. How Apple did that I'll never know but it's concerning.
What exactly about the Google ecosystem do you feel is locking people in? What do people lose when they switch from Google to iPhone? Just curious what you are referring to exactly.
Conversely, what would prevent someone from being able to just switch back to Google if they tried owning an iPhone and found they did not like it more?
Didn't Hillary actually say something about wanting to "drone" Assange?
Anyway, Trump is toast. The election is already over. This has got to be far and away the most pathetic pair of candidates in presidential history. One is utterly corrupt and incompetent, having utterly screwed up every single thing she's done in her career. Look what a nightmare everything she touched in the Middle East has been and how almost comically failed the outcome of her Russia reset has been. They don't get any more failed than her. But Trump is a complete and total idiot obviously completely unfit for presidency.
What a bigoted and obnoxious comment. I live in the EU. Where do you live?
Porsche's (Germany's most prestige auto company) vision of the future is the Mission E, essentially a Tesla Model S with showcar wheels and Porsche nose substituted in. Same size, shape, body-style (4-door sloping rear like hatchback), price, performance, everything.
It certainly is clear that the Tesla Model S has been singularly influential in demonstrating how impressive electric cars can be as well as the competitive force driving all the other manufacturers to do the same.
It's astonishing to see the success of one little car from a recently tiny American upstart having such an incredible influence on the world. Just that one car being so great has the largest union of nations in the world talking about banning all other cars.
It's just very impressive. I suppose the Model S will go down as similar in influence to the Model T. Funny how similar the names are. I wonder if Elon concievably had that in mind.
Not to mention that it still has a headphone jack. The only difference is that it requires headphones (that come with the phone) that use a newer plug design that enables more technological capabilities. Really it's more like when floppies went from 5.25 to 3.5".
They may have partly bought a headphone company knowing that Bluetooth headphones were going to be a hot commodity. But it certainly ridiculous to imply they are deliberately depriving people of headphone jacks to make more money. Firstly, no one is forcing anyone to buy iPhone rather than a Google phone with headphone jack. Secondly, every iPhone still comes with wired headphones anyway, for chrissake. Thirdly, it's not as if we didn't all already know that wireless was inevitable in the first place. Wired headphones have felt like a pain in ass anachronism that we'd like to get rid of for years.
Anyway, the iPhone 7 come with wired headphones. They just use different jack. What's with you people?
Have fun not owning a smartphone then. Every other phone on the market now seems to be an almost exact copy of the iPhone 6. Look at the Galaxy Note 7 and Galaxy S7 -- indistinguishable aside from the pointless wrapping screen that people crack all the time. No way Samsung isn't going to go to USB-C -- the reversible connector that Apple designed and donated to the USB group.

It's SJW agenda-making more than it's CYA.
Don't worry Steemit and Dtube are on their way to rescue us from facebook and google ;) I would say about one more year before critical mass.
I would say it's the last year or two where companies have really decided to impose snowflake protection censorship.
Check out Steemit and DTube. Youtube will have some competition soon.
Cool, nice to see they are still involved in so much research. Hope it has been profitable for them.

Where did he say anything about one gender or another being superior?

Let's just hope they don't do with GPU what they did in CPU. I'm going to be pissed if Apple GPUs are as dominant as their CPUs are.

Racist much?

About twice as fast as any Android phone in common applications performance. Or in other words, about 2 years ahead in the performance race.

Health has a lot more to do with ability to perform job as president than penis size. One of the candidates doesn't have any penis at all.

Are you saying you think headphone manufacturers will have difficulty making headphones with Lightning connectors?
Why do you feel its competitors copying Apple by making unibody phones? The newest Samsungs are virtually indistinguishable from iPhone 6.
