Apple and oranges. "Wage theft" is civil law. It is you against your employer, and it is about contract matters. You know exactly who to accuse. You need lawyers on your side more than you need cops. Package theft is criminal law. You don't know who stole your package, and you need cops to catch the thief.
That accident?! PayPal made Elon rich. No PayPal = no SpaceX, no Tesla.
Elon Musk is a businessman first and foremost. And that's what separates him for the rest. Wasting money doing awesome stuff is easy. Making money doing awesome stuff is hard, mostly because making money is hard. And PayPal is actually good. At least, it is for buyers.
tl;dr : It means a worse user experience and less privacy for Firefox users.
Try to think about why that "evil" standard exists in the first place. People don't need hyperlink auditing to track you. What they do instead is that they wrap links into redirect URLs. They use JS to hide it in the tooltip. Just make a Google search in Firefox, right click on one of the search results and "copy link location". What you'll get is a Google URL with a redirect target. Google is far from being the only one to do that.
The problem with that is that it makes "copy link location" almost useless. It also has an impact on performance. "Hyperlink auditing" is the answer to that problem. Now, look at the Google search results in Google Chrome. The links target are correct, no more of that redirect bullshit. That's because it uses the "ping" attribute to achieve the same thing.
So when it comes to Google search, both Firefox and Google Chrome users are tracked. The difference is that Firefox users can't properly copy links and are slower. Furthermore, if you have uBlock Origin installed, you will only get tracked if you are using Firefox...
They don't always know their own name, for example, and will ignore you calling them upstairs by it (food isn't served upstairs, so why would I wake up and run all the way up there?.
You just proved that teenagers don't always know their own names.
I have a decently paying job now, I don't need to deface my home screen to get mobile service. But before that, $10 is $10 so if it isn't too annoying, then yes.
BTW, it shows a flaw in that system. If you don't have money to pay for your mobile service, you most likely won't have money to buy what the ads are showing.
I agree, but the sad fact is that there are plenty of people who would be only too happy to devote the time to hacking this device so they could threaten or kill people.
There are much simpler ways of killing people than hacking defibrillators. Killing people is easy. Good thing most of us aren't murderers.
A common joke is that being an airline pilot pays well enough for pilots to afford flight hours.
Flying used to be a passion. The traditional path is to first start as a student pilot at a young age, then get a private pilot licence and get a bit of experience on light aircraft. But flying is expensive, so the next step is usually to become a flight instructor. Next is IFR qualification, larger aircraft, professional pilot licence and finally airliners. But airliners are pretty boring when it comes to actually flying, so it is not uncommon for pilots to fly light aircraft or gliders during their free time.
It results in awesome pilots. Being a flight instructor in particular is excellent training: not only you are pilot in command, but you also have to let your student make mistakes so that he can learn from them, only taking back control when safety requires it. Gliders are the best when it comes to stick and rudder handling. Because your goal is to stay up for as long as possible, you really need to feel the air and be extremely precise. Every small mistake and unnecessary movement come with a cost in term of altitude and speed.
But there seem to be a new breed of pilots who just go to a flight school, do the minimum number of hours to pass the test and reach the status of airline pilot as quickly as possible. And while these guys are definitely hard working and competent, they spent most of their time as students. They are not used to being responsible for their own safety and that of their passengers when an instructor or captain have their back for almost all of their flight hours. And they may not have the passion needed to think about flying during their free time after a week of flying professionally. And while these pilots are perfectly capable of operating airliners in normal conditions, when shit hits the turbofan, that's when it makes a difference.
So there is a study that says that rats don't like being microwaved. The problem is that we are not rats, and we use reasonably powered cell phones, we don't receive extreme doses like these rats do.
At the same time there is an other study doing a statistical analysis on millions of people over many years and found no correlation between cancer rates and cell phone use.
So unless you are interested in the well being of rats in a microwave oven, why choose the less relevant study?
I like the preview effect. If you have, for instance, two command prompts, you can see which is which by looking at it. But it looks like you have a different opinion. And I suspect that's exactly why they are doing that poll. There is no one true way of doing ALT+TAB.
Plutonium is an alpha radiator, alpha radiation is blocked by a thin sheet of paper, dead skin or a few cm of air. You can hold a chunk of plutonium in your bare hands with no ill effect. The risk is if you ingest or inhale plutonium: it may stay inside you, dumping all of its radioactive energy into your body.
It means that plutonium is not that easy to detect. You may have better luck with cesium and strontium but a cheap sensor probably won't help you unless your food is literally hot with radiation.
And that rule is explicitly designed to make sure nothing of value can be done with ham radio. It includes bitcoin transfer of course.
The point of ham radio is doing radio for the sake of doing radio. It is not a backend for a telecommunication service, for that, we have the internet and other frequency bands, licensed and not.
Controversy is a common sales tactics for violent video games. GTA success was built on that. They generated artificial controversy for how immoral and violent and bad that game was, yet, they were careful enough not to get an "adult only" rating so that every kid can buy it. It has proven successful. Note that while recent installments are huge and stand by their own merits, the first ones were not particularly remarkable.
Here, the controversy played in their favor too. From people who have seen it, it seems to have enough buttkicking to be enjoyable but that's about it. But thanks the the controversy, people talk about it, are curious, etc... so they go watch that particular generic superhero movie. Too bad it eclipsed Alita, which is also a superhero-ish movie with a strong female lead, a much better one IMHO.
Probably, yes. Men have been given dangerous and physically demanding jobs since the beginning of humanity and before, and it makes a lot of sense. Men are adapted to that kind of job: bigger, more physical strength. Even psychologically, one of the gender difference that everyone seem to agree on is that men are less risk adverse. Biologically too: if you kill all men in a tribe but one, it will recover in a couple generations because one man can impregnate many women. The opposite is not true. Statistically, men also have a lower life expectancy. So yeah, men are disposable, that's a fact of life.
They'll have to get up an hour earlier in winter because of permanent DST. Consequently they'll have to go to bed an hour earlier. Exactly the opposite a night dweller would want.
Relative to the sun, yes, you are right. As a night dweller myself who likes DST, I asked myself that very question. I mean, I shouldn't like that, it means waking up 1 hour earlier, something I normally hate. But the truth is: it is not just about the sun. It is more about enjoying the quiet moments when everyone else is gone. I suppose morning people get similar feelings when they arrive before everyone else. Permanent DST would allow me to continue doing stuff after others and get an extra hour of sunlight.
Male nurses are highly sought after. Though I don't know what kind of incentive they have but if things stay the way they are now, a male nurse will never be without a job.
Besides diversity, one reason is purely physical. Nursing can require physical strength. That's especially true in psychiatry, where patients are often uncooperative. A burly man will be better off than a small woman. Not only when it comes to resisting physical aggression but also because even madmen may think twice before attacking someone twice their size.
I find its cute and harmless. Also a quick search on Google Scholar lead me to a paper supporting anthropomorphising in education for biology so at least, the idea is not totally unscientific.
The comment system on YouTube is not the best but the content matters more than the platform. Some videos have awesome comments. "PBS Space Time" is a good example but it is in no way special.
It is just like Reddit and Hacker News, which work in about the same way. Some consider Reddit to be the worst, but Hacker News have one of the best comment section, better than Slashdot in fact. It is not specific to HN, there are some awesome subreddits too.
Following the trend, I expect that the next big thing will be poorly encoded 128Mbps MP3. Burned on rotting CD-R for authenticity.
Impressive how nostalgia makes people long for things that have nothing positive about them. There are even groups of people who recreate traffic jams with vintage cars because it reminds them of they childhood holidays. I understand the appeal of vintage cars but traffic jams?! You hated them as a kid, you hate them now, they are a plague but nostalgia turned it into something pleasurable. Our brain is weird.
It is a mid-range card. Mid-range cards are similar to their high-end counterparts but with the expensive parts stripped off. RAM is expensive, and we don't really need more than 6GB now, so it makes perfect sense. If you want to keep your graphics card for more than 5 years of high-end gaming, you need the high-end graphics cards, and it is not specific to Nvidia.
My understanding is that content creators get half of YouTube revenue for that video: - For ads, they get half of what the announcers pay for the specific ads showns on your video, the number of views is far from being the only factor: the value of the ads shown, the proportion of people using adblockers, etc... It is extremely unstable and tends to drive YouTubers mad. - For Red/Premium, they get half of the subscription, weighted by watch time. Ads are of course irrelevant because Red/Premium users don't see ads.
Content creators can see which part of their revenue comes from Red/Premium and with part come from ads. Most of the revenue usually come from ads but a premium view is typically worth more than an ad view.
That video is not only clueless but also deceptive. There are parts where he shows how to install something, fucks up completely, and yet, the part is properly installed after the cut.
To describe the video. Imagine you have no experience in PC building, are given a bunch of parts and no instructions. Someone records your first attempt at every step, but not the successive trial and error. You also have to act like you know what you are doing.
Samsung is not the most developer friendly manufacturer but it far from the worst. They still provide an easy way to unlock the bootloader, at least for the off-carrier versions. Tripping Knox is a small price to pay. I did it without a second thought. Knox is a corporate feature, so that you can use your work phone as a personal phone without breaking corporate network policies. For personal use, Knox is useless. And in cases where Knox is justified, then you probably shouldn't mess with your phone anyways. Note that "Knox warranty void" doesn't mean your warranty is void, at least not in Europe.
The privacy features you mention are most likely against the Play Store terms of service, for good reasons. Apps expect the Android API to act the way it is documented, and it includes returning correct values or well defined errors. It is Google's responsibility to make sure that it is indeed the case, and it is not possible if they allow third parties to hijack the API. It is the reason why when Samsung introduced multi-window, they only allowed it to their own apps and those with a special, proprietary flag set. That's because multi-window wasn't an officially supported feature and even though most apps worked fine with it, they weren't expected to do so.
Finally, how do you define "bloatware"? What you call bloatware may be another person's essential feature. And what you suggest as builtin features like backup, servers, etc... may be another person's bloatware, after all, these are available in third party apps.

2- If you prefer to stay official, for $12/month, you can get YouTube Premium, which is ad-free.
