Years back I had a similar experience. Giving user feedback and making reasonable proposals called the top brass on the plan launching one personal insult after another at me. These same morons are still destroying Firefox solely to satisfy their ego. Sure, that is their prerogative, but then don't come around whining that FF loses browser share.
Worse even, every survey finds that these newfangled UIs make it significantly more difficult for users to find their way around. It is a major step back.
Providing a URL and searching for a keyword are two distinctly different interactions. It's like putting the Print button into a Save dialog claiming that both are about preserving output.
Mozilla needs to go back Firefox 3 and patch it up with only security and browser tech relevant changes, but leave the UI as it was. Aping Chrome is just that, aping Chrome. Rather sad now that the world direly needs a strong non-megacorp backed browser.
How about free credit monitoring for life for all the people impacted! Will also be interesting to see how much jail time the managers get for insider trading.
While I agree, wasn't it the current president who strongly suggested to bank on US coal for power generation? Maybe Duke can drain the swamps and burn peat. Plenty of that in Florida and I am sure the administration gladly reduces Everglade National Park to the size of a football field.
Self-driving trucks on long haul routes are really only a temporary step. Moving freight to rail is tremendously cheaper long term and if the rail network is going back to what it was in the 50s access and speed will be on par if not better than trucks. I see fully autonomous vehicles better suited for short distance transport. Routes may even be identical on a fixed schedule which will make autonomous driving much easier.
I'm not against a UBI, but before this can be discussed a paradigm shift especially in the US is needed. There are way too many who go berserk over what they call government handouts...of course only until they need them.
I'm against taxing robots. Instead, increase the tax on profits. Automation will happen no matter what and under current circumstances financially benefit only a few who already have excessive riches. We need to introduce some Robin Hood think here, take from the rich and give to the poor...or in more general terms, far better redistribute the gains. It will still generate rich people, but they may forgo their third autonomous helicopter.
In case of Adidas and Armani you are paying for the brand name, not the cheapo product. Regular off the shelf shirts cost 5 bucks, doubt it will get any cheaper than that. I do wonder if these robots will sow the seams as crooked as the 17 factory workers.
Yep, I had three mice over the past 20 years: MouseMan, MouseMan wireless, and now the M705.The old mice still worked when I retired them, but I wore out the housing.
I have that keyboard and it is OK, about the same quality as the Dell keyboards. If you want a decent keyboard get one from Cherry. I have one that I bought 30 years ago and it still works and (after cleaning) looks like on day 1. I retired it because there is not a single decent DIN/PS2 to USB converter on the market. Switched to a Cherry G230. Great keyboard!
Netherlands falls under EU regulations, means there is consumer protection. In the US you have to hire lawyers and go to court to get the protection yourself. Within the EU the minimum warranty is two years on any product. About time that US legislators follow the lead...but I guess that is too communist for folks here.
My kids went through at least a dozen of Logitech gaming headsets. Luckily, Amazon has a kick-ass return policy and saved Logitech's behind on this one. Still, eventually switched to something less shitty. Logitech should stick to what they know, mice and keyboards. No complaints there.
Why does this comment get voted down? IBM made a killing on selling tabulation machines to the Nazis...and miraculously managed to spare the Ford and Coca-Cola plants from bombing while smashing everything around them. By the way, the Ford factories heavily used concentration camp laborers. I guess they were cheap, plentiful, and everyone did it.
Most states will require a change in law for this to happen. Tesla found out the hard way not being allowed to sell directly to customers. It is one of these cases where successful lobbying put a law on the books that at first sight seems reasonable, but really is only there to protect a select group from any market changes.
In all fairness, dealers are far more than sales these days. Last time I bought a car I pointed to the car on the lot that I wanted, took it for a test drive, and then agreed to purchase it. From then on the dealer did everything including getting me a better loan than I had secured, do all the paperwork with the insurance, all the crap with DMV, the state inspection, warranty, and what have not. The entire process took two hours. If I had to do this all on my own I would have needed more than an afternoon off from work costing me way more than the 120$ I paid as processing fee. If you are unsatisfied with a dealer, tell them and go somewhere else. They tend to have a lot of competition and they go to lengths to make a sale. You might still think the dealer is a loonie, but if that takes a few thousands off the final price it will be a gain for you and enough punishment for them.
I strongly doubt that racism and inciting violence is covered by the first amendment. You cannot excuse any crime with the first amendment just because you ran out of real arguments.
This is not against free speech, but against politically motivated terrorism. Grab any one of the rioters from Hamburg and ask them what they are rioting against and what their demands are. At best you get a response like "kill capitalism" or something meaningless like that. Germany has one of the strongest free speech protections, but all in balance. As often stated, yelling "Fire!" in a crowded theater is not free speech, neither is inciting violence.
The articles and especially the summary make it sound as if Germany never did anything against the radical left. That is far from true. One clear example is the year long fight against the RAF. They, too, ultimately had no clear agenda other than kill high profile personalities.
Further, and that just shows how grossly uninformed and utterly naive you are, anti-fascists are not communists. The US and UK were anti-fascists during WWII and following your definition they were all communists. I frankly doubt that you have any clue.
That may be putting your concerns at ease, but experience shows that these cheap items never protect anything. When I installed cable and sat TV I came across those plenty of times when fixing fried installations. They tripped alright...and then melted into a highly conductive block of metal and toasted the devices anyway.
You need a dedicated grounding cable with sufficient gauge from the antenna to an earth anchor, typically a 2 meter cross rod that gets hammered into the ground.
You need to make the comparison using apples and apples. Of course it will be a bargain when you already grossly overpay for wireless service. They get your money, just through different channels. A fair comparison would be to add the wireless service charge on top of it because this is a precondition for your preferred pricing.
The problem with DirecTV and Dish is that they insist on providing their horrendously cheap and crappy equipment. There are far better dishes made that do not crap out when it rains a bit.
I searched AT&T's web site and there was no reference found to "go-big". Must have been a time limited special to lure people in. Also, after the 35$ how much in bogus fees is added? And how does one AppleTV feed the watching needs of an entire family?

So it was you who screwed the rest of the world? ;)

The US needs to invest into this tech and renewables, not new coal mines.

But only as far as it is _their_ speech that is free.

The German state is called "Baden-Württemberg"!
"Liquid Crystal Display display"? What's that? Does it do 3D or even 4D with that double display?
