Apple has largely abandoned it's computer customers.
You say that in response to a story about an iOS *and* and macOS update.
If that were not silly enough, it's also just a year after Apple released the iMac Pro, and months after they updated the Mac mini. making it a fairly nice desktop unit for those that want to bring their own monitors.
Macs used to be the go-to for any kind of graphical artist. Now they can't even handle most graphics programs well
That is crazy nuts as the Mac is seeing a resurgence of amazing programs dealing with the graphic arts, from photo to video to vector creations... being an artist on the Mac has never been better.
Also if you were any kind of real artist you would at least be nodding with respect for the combination of the iPad Pro and the Pencil. I think you really don't care about art, you just like to bitch about Apple... what a shame that another creative mind has withered from within due to Hate.
None of the claims in that Wiki post address what the article I posted was saying. It's not saying there is no warming - it's saying proof of DANGEROUS rates of warming, like the hot spot over the tropics, have not occurred as they were predicted. In short all of the worst effects of warming that were supposed to cause real issues have not happened, and in fact what is happening is causing weather to become less severe, not more... none of that is addressed by your religious Wiki page.
The important thing about posting in the face of those unwilling to debate or learn, is that you might educate some other readers on the fence, even if the idiot learns nothing...
Interesting that I am the only person posting educational links, I wonder what that says about the desire of others to teach vs. preach.
So the Earth was kept from an ice age for thousands of years longer, and you are COMPLAINING? That would be salvation for humanity to have thousands of years more not to worry about the return of a major ice age, which would truly deviate crops instead of boosting them as warming periods do.
the report does go on to cite scientific papers authored by Facebook researchers suggesting that the company is committing resources to orbital lasers.
Sweet, users have been wanting a "dislike" button forever...
Well instead of that, Facebook has done them one better. After you read a post you can either Like.... or STRIKE them via orbital laser.
Tesla solved the production problems, and has a lot of money rolling in. Now is the IDEAL time to roll into Europe, to rapidly reproduce the manufacturing they've managed to put into place in the U.S, and to get pre-orders and then sales started in Europe well before any of the traditional auto-makers can catch up.
The market put them out of business so a big Fuck You right back at your statist notion that only the state can protect you - plenty of examples of food related sickness and death under FDA oversight too.
You'll not be satisfied I see until every human is under the jack-boot of the state.
True, it really means "people who know statistics".
But more than that, it also means people who know statistics but also how to work with numerical computations that deal with statistics.. stat understanding alone is far from the whole story.
I would say it's probably more like a very specialized programming knowledge, than a statistician. And that is why supply is short, because the supply of people who know something like R well is smaller than people who have a good understanding of statistics... it also explains why a shortage remains, because as we all know programming is kind of hard and not something you can easily train anyone into to do well at.
Just curious since you seem to be ignoring what actually happened as in the news link I posted, instead just doubling down on your incorrect fantasy world.
I remember the "slapping" that so incenses you, but that's all irrelevant now, which is why I didn't bother to answer something so blindingly stupid - I can see you have no links to offer, so I win. I'll not be reading anything further from you, since you are stuck in the past and cannot even understand what negotiation (or the lack thereof) is.
It's not a compromise if he gets everything he wants,
I see you do not know how compromise works, unsurprising given who you back.
The way it works is, Trump says - "OK, How about in exchange for the wall funding you also get all of these Dreamer extensions you would love?
That is where, the Democrats, were they reasonable humans, would say something like "How about 3 billion more for border security, only some of which may be used for new fencing, and the Dreamer extension you mentioned".
See how that works? Each side proposes what the other gives up, generally in smaller increments until the two sides meet in the middle. You know, like people have been doing since the dawn of time?
But instead., you have Trump saying, "how about this comp..." and the Democrats screaming "NO NO NON ONON NEVER NO".
That indeed is not compromise, but it's the Democrats refusing even to consider offers now... do you want a year long shutdown? Because that's how you get a year long shutdown.
Trump then also proposed a compromise, which the Democrats rejected before Trump finished speaking. Before that point, yes Trump owned the shutdown. Now it is squarely in the camp of the Democrats who are unwilling to move even a little to end the shutdown.
Armed security on board can't to anything about a suicide bomber who boards undetected
That is why you have profiling in airports. But long before the TSA was every around, airplane bombings were very rare, and usually involved luggage... you can still screen luggage for explosives, and you certainly do not need the government to do it.
But also you are wrong, because remember the shoe bomber was stopped when he tried to set off his shoe bomb and passengers detained him...
Any time the run tests on what security screeners actually catch, it's something like an 70% failure rate - for things like guns. It is laughable to claim they are the reason we've not had more serious incidents.
A this point airline passengers are savvy enough there's never going to be a 9/11 2.0, even if you simply abolished the TSA...
You could easily replace that whole meaningless machinery with randomly placed undercover armed security on planes (the airlines could handle that, or government security when that was open) along with some light profiling in airport terminals.
The FDA isn't inspecting food right now
Gees dude can you not even read the WHOLE SUMMARY? They are for high risk products. But do you really think the food industry is not doing its own inspections as well?
Folks really, really underestimate how important and beneficial the government is.
With it shut down over a month now it seems we really, really don't.
There are some areas where it is useful but we could pair back a LOT of government and make people's lives better all around.
And you think the 78M that fortnite reports is not inflated?
So by your silence you admit you are wrong about SL numbers. Good to hear.
Even though Fortnight numbers are inflated, even if it's half - still way more than SL.
The evidence is all around, when Fortnite dances are making national news and all...
Stop digging dude.
Apart that, you are comparing apples to oranges. SL targets an entire different audience,
Wrong. What I am saying is that SL contains a SUBSET of the total Fortnite audience, that Fortnite has hit on a more expansive audience by far.
Also, if you read the FUCKING CHART I POINTED YOU TO, it said 600k a day at peak, not what the other article said (600k was last year which is obviously lower than peak), which BTW *I* was the one who linked to as well...
Since you are just an ignorant dick who will not admit clear and utter defeat and never ever posts any evidence in defense of your constant lies, I'll let you have the last word you can keep pissing into the wind with the stupidity of your defense.
I agree that is a reason why it may cause some subscribers to leave, but that is not the reason the original poster was saying they are leaving.
I would hope though that most recurring subscription services would be more keen to remind you that you have the service so you'll make use of it, than fear that reminding you means you will cancel... for any legit service reminders probably drive engagement much more than they drive cancellations.
A) Second life never releases player numbers, what is your source?
B) The only verifiable info we have shows less than 600k players per day (scroll down about midway to view charts).
C) Even if your made up bullshit number were real, still as I said means that Fortnite is bigger than Second Life ever was.
Fortnite will be a shell of its current self in 1-2 years like WOW or anything else.
Why do you think that? I can't see it going into decline anytime soon. What's going to replace it, something from EA HAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAH.
What you and other companies furiously churning out Battle Royale clones do not realize is that Battle Royale itself is why people play Fortnite. You do not understand the world they have created.

Never try to "prove" shit to idiots.

As it turns out, none of the predicted over-warming signs have come to pass (like the hot spot over the tropics), so we may not even be as lucky as that prior period of time.

Seems like at some point if you want to keep working in some countries you have to do as they say. See: China.
True, it really means "people who know statistics".
But more than that, it also means people who know statistics but also how to work with numerical computations that deal with statistics.. stat understanding alone is far from the whole story.

Can you:
A) Not read.
B) Not remember what you just read.
Just curious since you seem to be ignoring what actually happened as in the news link I posted, instead just doubling down on your incorrect fantasy world.
In Soviet Uber, Segway leans YOU.

Oh it's a mistake, just in the AI not being bribable.
They already tried that.
Nope. Link please as to what you think constitutes "trying".
Remember that a compromise ALSO does not mean, that one party gets absolutely nothing.
They didn't NEED a supermajority to pass a simple bill
Yes they did
From the article, on the vote to pass the original Republican plan just before the Democrats took over the house:
That legislation doesnâ(TM)t have the 60 votes needed for passage in the Senate
I think I corrected you before, so doesn't that make you the dumbest person on the planet you cannot learn from corrections?
Just the fact you didn't even know that sets you at a certain questionable base level of civic ignorance.
It's not a compromise if he gets everything he wants,
I see you do not know how compromise works, unsurprising given who you back.

Airport Security? 9/11 2.0
Any time the run tests on what security screeners actually catch, it's something like an 70% failure rate - for things like guns. It is laughable to claim they are the reason we've not had more serious incidents.
