Management sees it as an unnecessary expense. I was actually speaking to somebody recently who backdated to an old version of Adobe CS2 because it was faster and he realized he never used the newer features. Just backdating ended up being an optimization.
Never mind that battery powered vehicles aren't green. The mining process for lithium is incredibly carbon intense, then there's the toxic waste, and the fact that it isn't economical to recycle the batteries. Welcome to the world of snake oil.

Trustworthy? A trustworthy organization doesn't try to find a different way to determine your location with wifi after location services have been turned off. Google is an information rapist. Say no and it keeps doing it anyway. Facebook never was trustworthy, but Google used to say, "Don't be Evil."
Honestly, this lawsuit has little to no merit. 125000 employees and there are less than 300 complaints in total over 7 calendar years. That's not a systemic problem. It's a greedy lawyer hoping for a settlement... who forgot Bill Gates was at Harvard studying law.
I'd hack it to project messages into the rear-view mirror of the car in front of me. Things like, "There's no traffic, the speed limit is 55, you're going 30. Speed up."
I wonder if I'd be more likely to buy an iPhone 7 or 8 if it had a headphone jack. I wonder if I'd buy an S8 if my finger wasn't covering the screen and registering false touches when I hold it. Just because something looks good doesn't mean it functions well for me. I'll be staying on old tech for a while simply because the newer options are more concerned with design than functionality.
Welcome to the world of spin. That China thing is in there because Samsung was hoping other manufacturers would pick up the slack from the lackluster iPhone X sales, but that didn't materialize. For the record, Apple cut phone sales projections from 50 million units to 30 million units, and based on what we're hearing from Samsung, 20 million units seems more likely.
Mind you, this is Apple's current cycle is to bring out a shittier and shittier phone and raise the price because fewer and fewer people want one. At a certain point, that stops working because people stop buying. For perspective, Apple had to cut sales forecasts for the iPhone X by 40% (50 million to 30 million) because demand was so weak.
Truthfully, the sound would suck even if they were wired because they're Beats. Beats makes shitty headphones and then sells them as though they're high quality by putting them in that price range. Read any review of them, they're always last or close to it and never recommended.
Anything we do is going to be quite an engineering project, and a number of those countries actually are quite stable. As for the "pay", part, grow the right plants and you can actually generate ethanol in a carbon-negative setup:

Use salt-waterable plants to turn the Sahara desert green and you'll reach gigaton absorption. For perspective, the Sahara is about the size of the United States.
You understand we're nowhere near close to Mesozoic levels of CO2 or temperatures. The fact is, though, we're the most adaptable species ever in the history of this planet. We'll find a way.
You've not owned a BMW in the last few decades. Drove a 2008 328i to over 125,000 miles and didn't have a single problem. According to Consumer Reports, Toyota and Lexus are #1 and #2 (but mind you, are the same company). Meanwhile, Audi and BMW are 4 and 5 and are actually separate companies. IMO, they'd be higher if they didn't have the high performance models (S4, M3, etc.). My M3 did have a few things go wrong, but they really push the engine, etc. to the limit.
We haven't come close to a runaway greenhouse effect. During the Mesozoic, there was far more CO2 in the atmosphere than there is today, and the world was, as would be expected, more tropical. All that's going to happen is that we grow certain crops further north than we do currently. Things that can survive in the warmer conditions will flourish. Things that require very cold conditions are few and far between and will likely adapt through natural selection. Change isn't an end, it's a natural course.
Keep in mind, too, that a stable climate is incredibly unusual on earth. The climate usually is unstable. As for warming, when I was growing up, we were warned that the earth was due for an ice age. All that CO2 we released may have just staved off that experience and prevented Paris from becoming a glacier.

Probably a good thing given the fact that Hitler started out as one of them.
Uh, identical twins?

Finland tried it and didn't expand it when they said they would, and instead ended it. There's probably a reason for that: it didn't work.

When the political discussion has moved to a private site, you need to allow free speech ALWAYS.
But they disclosed they were sending all your files to them on paragraph 30328 sentence 204.

But is Android safe from Google? Spyware is spyware.

And it's sexist. There are plenty of female pedophiles.

Yep. Now everyone can have a phone that looks like something from "There, I Fixed It".

Well, you see, it's quite simple: Apple has completely run out of ideas.
