https://www.cnbc.com/2016/05/1... - the average American doesn't make 1/100th of over $4m per day from birth to present. I don't know what you think Americans make, but...btw, that article is less than 15months old, and he's made $19billion since then. Facebook has 17k employees. That means he could have given each of them a $million in the last 15 months, and still had more left over from that 15months of income to give a thousand average Americans an entire lifetime of income earnings. I know you were just being silly, but people don't really appreciate the...scale...of the income inequality.
In other news, people still use services what that store all the keys to the kingdom...and now, those services have extended to sharing your passwords to others.:sigh: it's like laziness and lack of security is a virtue these days...
I was just picking a point in time. I get that you hated him for the whole time. It was easy to see that's where you were coming from. No one is coming for your dogs. "Dialogue" doesn't mean a dialogue about getting rid of your dogs. It means talking about the impact, so that you're aware. It means being informed. Clearly, such things are not of interest to you - that's obvious from nearly every word you type. As an aside, I strongly question the impact level of this, and the methods they used to get some of their numbers, but...at least I care about the numbers.
let me guess...you were one of the people who, say 4 years ago, hated Obama and when asked why, one of the few reasons you could blurt out was that he was coming for your guns. He never came for your guns. No one is coming for your dogs - people are just trying to start a dialogue. It's obvious from what you're saying you're not going to put any effort into it anyway, but major changes to your impact don't require you to "sit and waste [your] time" - they require a change in thinking, and once established it just flows, like your current life.
Recent argument on fark, someone suggested cars shouldn't bother having internet connectivity because they'll just become rapidly obsolete like the Leaf did. Leaf came out in 2010, and used 2G. By the time the Leaf was first sold, 4G phones were already out. 2G was a quarter century old, and was planned to be dead by 2015. Looking forward...4G/LTE can support 1Gbps. We're not even 2% in to the capability of 4G/LTE - why is thought even given to 5G?
No. If you are at all educated - an MBA, for whatever it's worth, is a damn master's degree - there is no excuse for thinking TV didn't exist until streaming services started online. We're not talking about a 10 year old, we're talking about someone in their mid 20s or so. And not knowing how to use something is not the same as not knowing something exists. AND does this mean the person never watched any movies or tv shows what that showed people from pre-2009 watching TV via antenna? AND - biggest and here - does this mean he's never had a car and listened to the radio? This is fake news to generate page views for ad revenue.
just fyi, the walls in my house were/are plaster (ie, more or less concrete). Opening a wall to remove dead wires, and patching holes - NOT a minor thing to do here. But I pulled out all the old telephone lines, and instead of letting those old boxes dictate where I put in cat6a drops I put them in places I thought made sense (a few times it was the same place, normally not). So it's not like I'm just making the statement as an armchair quarterback;) I had it about as bad as one could have it, but I did the work. Blank faceplates look horrible. If I can make them not present, people with simple sheetrock walls can too;)
Without laws that actual protect consumer information, privacy, etc - no law like this will mean anything. First because it doesn't cover all loses, second because if someone has information but wasn't the person that hacked you, then they're not in the "wrong." It must be made illegal to have the information in the first place. Start with something like the EU "right to be forgotten" and go from there.
blank face plates lower the value of a home more than a face plate with a non-functional coax end avail. For good reason - they look ugly, and indicate laziness.
"Let me put it this way: if this software is such an obvious 'polished turd', why haven't *you* coded up a replacement?"
systemd *is* the replacement. And all these years later, I still without any hesitation prefer the thing it replaced...which I still use.
Somewhat, though it is an apples and oranges comparison. See, I'm a bit crazy. I hold to heart this quote:
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. â" That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, â" That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
And the idea that it is "government of the people, by the people, for the people." That government sometimes has to know certain things, is part of being a government. A private corporation however? That's not even in the same book, much less the same page. I'm a citizen, not a product.
China is nearly half a century behind us in military tech. And currently, their budget is a quarter that of the US. I'm not exactly sure what you think they're going to do to us in this or the next generation, but by the time they actually catch up - even if we merely matched their budget - we'd be back to where we were 50 years ago with Russia - neither defensively able to counter the other's offensive capabilities, thus "mutually assured destruction" being the deterrent. On the other hand, maybe the US doesn't need to project military force across the entire farking planet? What craziness could we accomplish if we were just using our military to defend ourselves, not police the planet? (prior military, btw)
I used them to mark time and areas in a video to show a doctor certain movements and behaviors, to help diagnose my parkinsonian disorder. But hey! Cell phones are all that matter, I guess..
if your strength relies upon the weakness of others, then it isn't really strength. I know, "without light there is no dark" "without up there is no down" "without weakness there is no strength" - no. China is just 1 country, and has 6x the number of people. There are plenty of other countries that are in poor shape, if we (in the US) really feel we need to be "superior" to someone else. Until then, this kind of crap is a waste of tax dollars, under the thinly veiled cover of nationalism
"Telling people to switch away from WhatsApp is very concretely endangering people." -- err, what?!? How in the world is that "concretely endangering people?!?"
The Tesla supercharger uses 120kW to do 170, as TFA says, and this does 372. If we assume a similar power factor, that's ~328kW needed for this. Where the fark are they going to find a place to plug that in? Just for reference, that would be nearly 3k amps on a 110v plug
What?!?!?! They even have a "recruitment" video where they talk about a protestor doing something one day, being tried that day, then being publicly executed the next day. Is your commend satire? Or are you just that insane?
Here ya go - they even briefly bring it up during the movie (good satire can't overtly call itself satire while it's being satire) - the only good bug is a dead bug - skip to 2minutes and 9 seconds. It couldn't call itself a spade any more blatantly because, well...when's the last time you saw the Onion saying "hey no really, this is all fake, satirical stuff - don't take it as real, we're mocking things to make a point..." - you won't see Onion doing that, because...it's not supposed to. You're just supposed to use common sense and see that it's satire

there there, let it all out. The bad man is gone now, he'll never hurt you again.

so...just to get this straight...it's not laziness, because the alternative is to do work so that it doesn't look ugly. Totally clear now, got it.
cat7 doesn't really exist as an actual standard. 6a does, and accomplishes the 10g that "7" aimed to accomplish. So no, he shouldn't install "cat7"
blank face plates lower the value of a home more than a face plate with a non-functional coax end avail. For good reason - they look ugly, and indicate laziness.
in the question, he said he was putting in 6a. That's 10g.
I know MS has long had a history of being especially prone to viruses based on basic design decisions, but this is almost retro!
MS has done some pretty invasive telemetry and direct marketing crap. At this point, their stuff IS malware

I'm not sure what the "to be fair" bit about 120v is; I stated I only put that there as a reference. The kW is what it is, and it's a *lot*.
The Tesla supercharger uses 120kW to do 170, as TFA says, and this does 372. If we assume a similar power factor, that's ~328kW needed for this. Where the fark are they going to find a place to plug that in? Just for reference, that would be nearly 3k amps on a 110v plug
