Selling your drug to the citizens of a country that has leadership which performs horrible things or
Employing people in a country that has leadership which performs horrible things
vs
Selling your drug directly to an organisation which will do horrible things with your product.
The first part still isn't great, but there's still a world of difference.
Indeed,
Architects don't want to be responsible for designing prisons with execution chambers and death rows.
Builders don't want to build them.
Now drug companies don't want to assist.
It's effectively the rest of the world (and many of America's own people) putting sanctions on this. Regardless of legality executions are going to be a logistical nightmare.
As other's have said, COD:IW has way more dislikes than Ghostbusters, and the article may have been referring only to video game trailers (with the technobuffalo article referring to movie trailers).
Why was your go to explanation that GameSpot was trying to bury the truth of how many people didn't like the Ghostbuster's trailer?
Can everybody stop assuming everything is a conspiracy *before* at least thinking about the alternatives?
True but the previous versions of Debian should still run on them fine. (Though in the world of auto-updates who knows how viable it is to run an older OS if you want to be able to install packages on-top of it).
Still being able to drop 32 bit support will make life so much easier for devs. I remember how difficult life could be when the 32 to 64 bit transition started happening and 64 bit drivers could only talk to 64 bit apps etc.
I feel this is good news overall.
Well the API for fingerprint detection is not going to be exposed to Apps.
And there are already plenty of APIs for fingerprint detection (they just happen on a button instead of on the screen).
I don't see any reason why this would be any less secure than what we have currently with a more dedicated fingerprint sensor on the button instead of on the phone.
(Very true that a device with no finger print sensors would be more secure - but I haven't heard any cases of Apple's fingerprint sensor being hacked so far)
Well there's nothing they won't be accused of fucking up regardless of if they're actually guilty on average or not.
Millennials are just young people with phones, they have all the good and bad quality of every generation before them when they were young... but with phones.
You've sorta boxed him into an unfair corner there don't you think?
Accusation : Millennial's would rather cut off their arm than stop texting
Millennial : That's not true
Accusation : Millennial's can't help but make angry protests online
I agree with your sentiment.
I've found a few intelligent people who adamantly deny global warming, and their reasoning usually revolves around "If someone says don't do something or something bad will happen, it's purely an attempt to control you".
I somewhat understand that as the call against terrorism has always seemed like a giant power/vote grab to me, but then again we're all free to see the numbers of how little terrorism is a threat in day to day life.
The fact that different scientists all over the world do studies and come to a general consensus just makes them nervous of a global conspiracy instead of it might be the underlying truth, or somehow by default the more experts that agree on something the wronger it is.
The universal truth for these people is authority is bad and will always try to lie to you and screw you 100% of the time. I'm not sure how you educate against such an absolutist view.
Here's the quote that you're referring to
"Don’t let anyone tell you that engineering is only about math and science or that engineering expertise is all you have to offer the world. Your experiences and your perspectives can help inspire a company to find a different approach to a problem or encourage someone else to speak up."
The headline is a bit inflammatory, the actual quote is about how engineers should have *more* say about how things are done.
At no point did she say that maths and science aren't important.
So maybe pause for 5 seconds before you hate on everything.
Do you actually believe that? Not being American I don't know much about Senator Clinton's baggage but...
You actually think that she was asking for details about the president's security to effectively sell to spies?
As far as I can tell the email scandal was she used an insecure email server after finding the secure communication server inconvenient.
A stupid thing to be sure, but not a scenario where selling state secrets for money cartoon villain.
From what I understood from the article, you still have to click something on a webpage, which downloads a file you have to double click on in your file system.
So you should still get
"This was a file downloaded from the internet that has no trusted developer certificate - are you sure you want to run it" warning - where you have to update the security level in control panels to let you run it.
For people who only run apps from the App Store (which to be fair, I wouldn't recommend) would not get into this situation thanks to App Store sandboxing.
Not sure what else can be done.
This is probably on par with Windows 10 Security, but that advert was made in the days where just previewing an email with Outlook could get you infected with a virus.
Up to this point I wasn't really put off by Microsoft's spying - and I know I was very much in the minority there (but I'm not a Windows user so I guess that was purely a hypothetical opinion anyway).
I was under the assumption it was there for usage statistics to make a better product. I've work on a paid iPhone app where we recorded anonymous usage statistics so we can see how people are interacting with the product and it was super useful for making a better product - note that users were informed of this tracking and had to opt in.
With advertising, Microsoft poison that argument, now they spy on you for the same reason as every other company.
The truth is somewhere in the middle and much more subtle.
The humans most definitely did not stop the price surge "immediately" when they realised it was due to a shooting, here was Uber's original tweet
"We are all concerned with events in CBD. Fares have increased to encourage more drivers to come online and pick up passengers in the area." http://www.nbcnews.com/storyli...
After a quick social media backlash, they changed their tune to this
"Uber Sydney trips from CBD will be free for riders. Higher rates are still in place to encourage drivers to get into the CBD."
So the algorithm upped the price, Uber was happy with that, everybody else wasn't, Uber then did the right thing.
Seattle's investigating loans where the interest is calculated up front and people pay back a known amount, rather than having the interest calculated continuously.
... Sorry, how was this going to cause the creation of the morality police again?
Your post referring to "SJW" lynch mob is an example of seeing an opinion you don't agree with, then assigning it to the group you don't agree with with no proof or relevance.
Typical Republican/Democrat/etc thing to do.
Except according to the article it's not that more plants are growing but that plants are in bloom for longer (which doesn't necessarily directly translate to more viable plants) and airborne ash causing asthma.
The only thing that is said to be growing more are insects.
It's fine to be skeptical of that information, but I wouldn't make a leap of "President says - allergies and asthma are getting worse" therefore "more things are growing and everything will be fine"
To be fair, the EPA doesn't have the direct ability to launch cutting edge climate and atmosphere monitoring satellites.
There's a lot of atmosphere science to do, and NASA is in a good position to have the (orbit based) tools and the know how to do that.
The EPA is in a good position to review the science and enforce legalisation appropriately.
What can be especially frustrating about these trolled auctions is the inevitable wave of incorrect news reports that follow, suggesting that the item in question has “sold” for the wildly inflated, unrealistic, fraudulent bid amount, without even a caveat.
I remember watching a replay from a news piece when computers first started replacing typewriters in the late 70s. "These computers, using many of the same techniques as the human brain, can help increase efficiency" the newsreader said as it showed a secretary running a spell check.
I still like Dijkstra comments about the question "Can a computer think?" is like asking "Can a submarine swim?". To which I assume the answer is "sorta, the end result is the same, but different means to achieve it".

Oops very true. Thanks for the correction.

Do you believe they forged 248 pages of the TTIP?
As in you successfully trolled someone or successfully got someone angry? If either of those things happened, why are you happy about it?

Wired's take is that the price is heavily driven up by trolling bidders

Favourite quote from the article:

What a news story that would be. 400,000 people watched a You-Tube video. Everything we do has a level of pollution attached, it's not ironic.
I remember watching a replay from a news piece when computers first started replacing typewriters in the late 70s.
"These computers, using many of the same techniques as the human brain, can help increase efficiency" the newsreader said as it showed a secretary running a spell check.
I still like Dijkstra comments about the question "Can a computer think?" is like asking "Can a submarine swim?". To which I assume the answer is "sorta, the end result is the same, but different means to achieve it".
Well, except for the warming climate https://www2.ucar.edu/climate/...
