Why is it the CIA sock puppets are so obsessed with calling people gay? I mean, that hasn't been an insult since the 80's? Is this a fifty-year old spook with sexual identity issues?
It just goes to show one can write an article and get posted to/. without bothering to research (or just trolling?)
What you said, plus fast acceleration and a 'hover' mode just for show off, like the current dance mode or like a pneumatic low-rider's show-off modes.
In Elon's mind 3D travel is for tunnels, not the sky (excepting the electric plane). He never once suggested a flying Roadster.
California is known for lots and lots of sunshine. Sunshine is known to cause skin cancer. California requires any carcinogen to be properly labelled, then banned. California, at this point, needs to ban California.
Home Depot already does email receipts. This legislation is designed to impose high costs on the corner hardware store and further decrease their profits against the big corporate competition, to ultimately make it so that each vertical is dominated by one megacorp - those are easier to control.
The politician may say this isn't his goal, but don't believe his words - watch the liars' actions instead.
Why would you assume they have assumed that? Those are just two of roughly eight scenarios I can think of without much effort - why would police not follow and extinguish all possible leads?
Methinks they're doing OK without needing to hire you as a police consultant.
No doubt? This is the guy who slept 3 hrs a day for weeks on the factory floor because he wouldn't ask anybody to work more hours than him. He says doing so saved Tesla from closing six months ago, potentially unemploying thousands.
Where does your certainty come from? I usually find his employees speaking fondly of him. What do you know differently?
The idea of "a career" was always a lie, though a few people managed to eek one out - most have not. When I was a kid, many of my friends' dads had "careers" at IBM and Bell Labs and then came the 80's. Most of them felt betrayed and their lives were turned upside down, because they bought into the career mythos. One wound up selling lawnmowers at Sears because he had been near retirement and almost lost the house.
Anyway, SpaceX just raised two huge rounds of financing and these cuts were almost certainly a condition of this kind of funding if the investors saw fat. I would bet they asked for 25%.
Right. There is talk of having, even in the most remote villages, a platform with Tesla solar panels and batteries, and a Starlink array with a Wi-Fi repeater on it, or whatever it is current at the time. This article probably means government-sponsored efforts, but the Muskovites will have us pretty much all online in the coming decade.
Right. All Zurich has to do is prove it was a foreign government. This should be interesting to given the NSA's leak of EternalBlue and the CIA's misattribution tools. My guess is US "intelligence" cost Zurich $100M in this one instance (among many).
That's what they say, but the first victims will probably be kids who live at more than one house. They could discriminate based on user agent and device type but here's predicting they won't.
Which, frankly, won't bother most kids who might be amused by Netflix but you can take their YouTube from their cold atrophied hands.
A right is something that requires inaction on others' parts. Don't suppress your speech, don't beat you up for your religion, etc.
A privilege is something that requires action on others' parts. Give you welfare, help you get into college, etc.
Here we have "the right to be forgotten" which requires search engines to take positive, perhaps even Herculean steps. That's clearly a privilege and when you have people calling privileges rights, you can bet that they're up to no good.
BTW, Five Eyes will still have search access - you just won't be able to also search and find what they can find. It's pretty easy to see how incentives align on this one.
Right. Every instance of automation I've seen for a knowledge worker (we're not talking factory jobs here) has made them delighted and increased productivity. Smart people use better tools to improve their environment and become smarter knowledge workers. If what they are actually doing is knowledge work.
For those who disagree, please head down to your local library and find a counterargument in an index of journals, pull the article from microfiche when they get it from ILL, and post a photostat to my work address.
According to Brown, the levels of amino acids are "at least on-par" with typical ground beef and, in some cases, exceed what real meat can offer.
I call shenanigans. There is a recent research paper that extensively documents relative amino acid levels of various foodstocks, both raw and in vivo, and IF this is just soy and not a resynthesis of amino acids then the ratios are insufficient for human muscle building, etc. Milk has barely enough leucine, eggs have a little more, muscle has plenty. It's the blood titre of leucine, not the mere presence of the amino acid in the diet that's significant.
By all means, get a real meat factory worked out without slaughter and make cheap and plentiful protein available to all humans everywhere, but don't dodge science and try to claim that beans are just as nutritious - that confuses the issues and retards progress.
So far none of the econuts I talk to are willing to take cold showers - they'd be safe to ignore if they didn't control the AR-15's of federal agencies' SWAT teams.
Given it isn't uncommon (unfortunately) for SMS to be used as a second factor its too unsafe to allow random applications to have access. Its also a common scam for using SMS permission to sign up for high cost services.
That's not the argument [almost] anybody is making. They are saying that there are legit, non-scam, non-insecure apps that use SMS and Call Log permissions for useful, beneficial, and productive purposes in a responsible way and Google isn't giving them exceptions or any explanations what their criteria.
Some people are saying those apps could build Tasker plugins, but if this is all at Google's whim they could pull Tasker's exception at any time. My bet is this is two-staged, and they just gave Tasker a buy for this round because it has the largest number of users. The niche apps are getting whacked first, then they'll be back for Tasker functionality once some of the controversy has blown over.
Meanwhile, Google's apps and that of its top-tier vendors will have unequal and anti-competitive access to the API's. Google may make the argument that people don't have to use the Play store, and that's precisely what some of these developers are planning (a competitor to Google Play).
Any good reason why any app would want to see my call logs or sms!
Your lack if imagination isn't relevant here. I, for instance, use an app that enters all my calls into a work calendar where I have a background script that organizes them per-client. That gets automated into the billing system.
Maybe they'll get an exception, who knows... I doubt it. Google is too lazy to add fine-grained control to its APIs and doesn't care much about uncommon use cases or if it puts a bunch of developers out of business. There are 99.5% more where they came from and growing. And they all hand over 30% of their revenue to Google.
The incentives are not aligned for Google to do the right thing and care about minorities.
Sadly this is the only way on Android. There is no way to attach an event to a message without access to call logs and the inbox.
And what pressure is there for Google to fix its lazy-ass API's when it can just whack indy app developers? Are these people going to go to iPhone? No, most people can't afford one.
Oh, what's that you say, a third-party app store that has the more useful apps and only charges 5%? Interesting.

I know, it's not like anybody who hates their waste can shop elsewhere.

To be fair you can get a new gmail for free and use plus expansion all you want. If you don't want to pay for real email.
I found some thermal receipts the other day from 2013 - they're all fine. The new ones disappear in six months.
Somebody told me it's because of a BPA ban, but I'm not sure. I haven't tried eating any of the new ones.

It needed to be said. I bet they were sure kidnapping The Princess would get them router back doors.

It's really a stupid measurement. The reference standard is how many times the cheese can wrap around the Library of Congress. Everybody knows that.
Fascinating that this kind of organization trusts proprietary software. Too easy to sneak in back doors.
But I guess if this shop were well run the headlines wouldn't be what they are.

These people can't even do multiplication and they're running the world's governments.
I usually recommend this physicist, who has popularized multiplication in the context of energy usage:
