The primary innovation in content creation in China is arguably their skill at copying the work of others without having to contribute anything back in return.
I'm unclear on what his edge is here, other than maybe he enjoys the idea of digging stuff? Tunnel boring is an existing market with a number of players. Will the borer also install the road? Seems more likely he's trying to cover up the installation of a secret underground lab.
Up in Ottawa we've been digging tunnel for several years for our new light rail. The machines doing the digging are probably the least complicated part of the project. The real issue is varying soil and rock conditions and trying not to cause things like this.
Article doesn't say why he made this decision - i.e. what is it about the setup that makes them employees and not contractors? Depending on that, maybe there are steps they could take to limit driver access to the app that would push them back to contractor status.
That's right. I haven't seen them and I wasn't taking the AC's word for it, but the video's existence was irrelevant to the point I was making, which you completely missed.
"blah blah blah nazis, blah blah blah fuck the left"
I don't know if those videos exist, but knowing Milo, any drama of any sort happening around him is just as likely to be a planned part of the show. Like Trump, Milo is simply reality TV on the political stage and most of the content is made up for shock value.
There's a very good rebuttal to that statement here. There are similarities but they are VASTLY different in scope and purpose. The points are quoted below:
1. Much narrower focus: The Obama administration conducted a review in 2011 of the vetting procedures applied to citizens of a single country (Iraq) and then only to refugees and applicants for Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs), created by Congress to help Iraqis (and later Afghans) who supported the United States in those conflicts. The Trump executive order, on the other hand, applies to seven countries with total population more than 130 million, and to virtually every category of immigrant other than diplomats, including tourists and business travelers.
2. Not a ban: Contrary to Trump’s Sunday statement and the repeated claims of his defenders, the Obama administration did not “ban visas for refugees from Iraq for six months.” For one thing, refugees don’t travel on visas. More importantly, while the flow of Iraqi refugees slowed significantly during the Obama administration’s review, refugees continued to be admitted to the United States during that time, and there was not a single month in which no Iraqis arrived here. In other words, while there were delays in processing, there was no outright ban.
3. Grounded in specific threat: The Obama administration’s 2011 review came in response to specific threat information, including the arrest in Kentucky of two Iraqi refugees, still the only terrorism-related arrests out of about 130,000 Iraqi refugees and SIV holders admitted to the United States. Thus far, the Trump administration has provided no evidence, nor even asserted, that any specific information or intelligence has led to its draconian order.
4. Orderly, organized process: The Obama administration’s review was conducted over roughly a dozen deputies and principals committee meetings, involving Cabinet and deputy Cabinet-level officials from all of the relevant departments and agencies — including the State, Homeland Security and Justice Departments — and the intelligence community. The Trump executive order was reportedly drafted by White House political officials and then presented to the implementing agencies a fait accompli. This is not just bad policymaking practice, it led directly to the confusion, bordering on chaos, that has attended implementation of the order by agencies that could only start asking questions (such as: “does this apply to green card holders?”) once the train had left the station.
5. Far stronger vetting today: Much has been made of Trump’s call for “extreme vetting” for citizens of certain countries. The entire purpose of the Obama administration’s 2011 review was to enhance the already stringent vetting to which refugees and SIV applicants were subjected. While many of the details are classified, those rigorous procedures, which lead to waiting times of 18-24 months for many Iraqi and Syrian refugees, remain in place today and are continually reviewed by interagency officials. The Trump administration is, therefore, taking on a problem that has already been (and is continually being) addressed.
Yes it's all gibbering. None of this is specifically particularly likely, it is just seems more likely than before Trump was president.
The people around him would obviously not let him do that
That would depend on who he has around him. I don't know how trigger happy his military picks are, but some of the others seem to exist in a completely different reality so who knows what they'd go along with.
Meh, you can argue the intention behind the meaning of "doomsday", I'm sure it was supposed to sound shocking rather than be literal. Regardless of how it comes about, the first step to global thermonuclear annihilation is launching the first nuke.
How close we are to that first step is a matter of debate, and these scientists think we're closer than we were. It probably comes down to just how big you think Trump's ego is, and based on what I've seen so far I bet you can see that fucker from the moon.
But if, say, ISIS nukes New York... what target is there to hit back at?
With Trump in control, I would bet he'd nuke most of the middle east: "Muslims did it. Even the ones that didn't do it, well they did nothing to stop it, and that's just as bad." Today there is no immediate catastrophe looming over our heads, but if something happens, who doesn't think that having Trump in charge dramatically increases the likelihood of a drastic military response?
Let's say next month, North Korea demonstrates huge leaps in nuclear launch capability. I think the likelihood of nuclear strike one way or the other is MUCH higher with Trump as president than any of the past several.
Encrypted region locked downloads that require server checkins are absolutely anti-consumer and entirely unreasonable.
1. Netflix content was already region-locked.
2. Before this, Netflix digital content was only available via streaming.
3. This is a net improvement to customers, with no additional cost.
You're free to not subscribe to Netflix. Also you can just continue to pirate as you'd probably find an excuse for anyway.
Just because it's free doesn't mean it has to be open-door. They could still curb applicants by their grades and push out poor performers to lower tier institutions. This could also vary by degree, as it did in my university where you could pass all your courses and still get kicked out for your GPA being too low.
It will probably get harder and harder to find a TV without these "smart" features.
If you shop at BestBuy and their ilk, sure. Go online, do your research, and order a commercial model. They can even be very similar to the consumer models, but with the bloat removed. My current TV is the commercial version of a consumer model, which means the TV tuner and speakers aren't included. It even cost less.
My understanding is that the general prediction is the earth's average temperature will warm up as CO2 and other particulates accumulate in the atmosphere, and this matches evidence observed so far with minor outliers. The exact and specific amounts of the warming and how long it will take are subject to many variables and scientists have been unable to accurately predict this because... dun dun dunn.... the climate is really fucking complicated. But guess what? The climate is still warming up, and scientists being inaccurate about one detail does not invalidate the entire theory. There are some outlying anomalies about what we know of gravity, but that doesn't invalidate everything else we know about gravity.
Your argument seems to be that if the weatherman predicts there will be 10 centimeters of snow tomorrow, and it turns out there is only 5 centimeters, then the weatherman was wrong and it didn't snow at all.
That's not really a problem, since there are many other non-AAA titles filling the void, especially on PC. I used to look to Square (SquareEnix) for RPGs... but since FF-X they keep pushing titles that are FF-flavoured but have lost the appeal of the earlier series. There are many alternatives though, just don't expect to see commercials on TV for them.

If that is true, then it seems to work pretty good.
Heinz also has squeeze bottles that are designed to stand with the lid down. The problem is already solved, it's just not widely distributed.

I hate you.

Don't worry, it may be entirely ineffective, but we're going to make the polar bears pay for it.

Just mentioning the fact that something is gluten-free does not imply anyone is pushing an anti-gluten agenda here. Keep your pants on.
You're saying that municipal zoning is illegal?
That adds no more clarity than the original post...
He hasn't taken quality control seriously in any of his ventures, that is why they are all get-rich-quick schemes.
You want to back that up with... anything?

your old sig was something like "SJW: Someone I disagree with and by the way I'm an idiot"
In the context of almost every discussion where the term "SJW" is flung about, I think that sig was a pretty accurate analogy.
Disclaimer: One time I agreed with something AmiMoJo said.
The people around him would obviously not let him do that
That would depend on who he has around him. I don't know how trigger happy his military picks are, but some of the others seem to exist in a completely different reality so who knows what they'd go along with.
The same kind of thing was being said when G.W.Bush became president.
I never heard that, though I didn't read as much into US politics then as I do now. Bush doesn't strike me as a guy with a huge ego.

To me, it completely undermines my confidence in their entire platform
So do you avoid all companies who have ever had a free product down one time for at least 74 minutes and was completely open and honest about it?
