What's the over/under on the majority of these misogynistic women self-identify as "feminists"?
Not likely, I'd venture. Some local activists here did a "Free the Nipple" campaign last year, and the excoriating indictments against them mostly came from "conservative women". These "women of God" said things that'd peel paint off your wall. Some feminists thought that they were engaging the patriarchy, but most were supportive.
Most men (over seventeen) were of the "whatever, I'm going fishing" take.
This is bad for Oracle. They don't need the $9B but they need a club that big to force Google into cross-licensing deals on their distributed database patents. Because Oracle doesn't scale without them.
The carriers need to be careful - the FTC/FCC will probably order them to unlock bootloaders for any devices they refuse to update. They really won't want to do that. The FCC is regulatory-captured by the telcos, but the FTC isn't as much.
(of course *I* want that to be an option - I paid for the damn phone)
Fitbit did send a written reply to WTHR, saying that its devices "are designed to provide meaningful data to our users to help them reach their health and fitness goals, and are not intended to be scientific or medical devices."
Well, then. I was thinking of getting one to help me get and stay close to max-rate for interval training. 14% inaccuracy would be wildly dangerous in that case.
The lawyers may be scum, but I'm glad to have read these articles.
Are Americans _completely_ convinced the Fourth Amendment is dead? I thought there were still some who held on to such fanciful notions. Are you sure the mission is accomplished?
Facebook, for once, did the right thing the first time; she shouldn't be allowed in an ad just like anorexic models shouldn't be either. Reversing their decision was the mistake.
Hold on there, Smokey. Facebook really shouldn't be in the business of curating advertisements. Do they want that kind of liability? Once they say they are, they become liable.
Fat people buy clothing and fat people should be buying clothing that's modeled by fat people. That's just obvious - you can't get an idea about what something, like a swimsuit, is going to look like on you if you weigh twice as much as the model.
It may be unhealthy, but it's reality. I can't find the victim here.
We all know that we need excess economic activity to spark each technological revolution. So the long-term thing to do is to spur as much economic activity as possible (which means fossil fuels right now) and that will spark the real nuclear revolution, with fusion and safe fission devices. Those will then obviate most of the need for fossil fuels over a decade. Nobody likes having to go to a gas station - inductive parking spaces and solid-state batteries will make our descendants sad for us!
But, we have oligarchs in charge of tax levers, and they're really concerned about their seaside homes and more than a few Europeans are concerned about the thermohaline cycle near Greenland changing the Gulf Stream and making Northern Europe into a climate as suggested by its latitude. So they will tax the shit of out everything today to try to forestall anything that will hamper their enjoyment in their lifetimes.
Those taxes (on top of the stifling regulations) then depress the economic output we need to get past fossil fuels. But if they die happy while third-world people are still burning dung in their huts, well that's really just fine by them.
Unfortunately, we're in a situation where the solution to AGW is to get rid of the oligarchs. Try telling that to an oligarch.
That's so impossible (under the current system) so as to be an impossible hurdle to change Some would say an excuse for inaction.
As difficult as it may be, a single Constitutional Amendment (in the US) can remove IP creation as a Federal power. If Oklahoma wants to keep up this craziness, let the vendors decide whether they want to sell their phones and tablets there.
and only 'Hollywood' thinking leads to the idea that there could be some global agreement to destroy it all. Anybody who thinks that nation-states with official-secrets regimes would actually destroy all of their samples is a special kind of stupid.
The article is as meaningful as asking why scientists don't simply block gravity - all available evidence points to the idea being impossible.
Non-stop JFK to New Delhi is fourteen hours. People will pay more to do that in four hours, whether or not they can watch YouTube on the 14-hours flight.
I had never heard of theft being called 'doing good' before
Usually it's in the context of war, but people fully support theft on a grand scale. This guy writes like an American, so he might be in more trouble than he thinks, though. I forget if it's the CIA that's supporting ISIL or the military, and which one is funding the remains of Al Q'ue'da, but either way, he's funding opposition to the USG.
Also, there are plenty of cheerleaders for taxation, we all know what taxation is...
Don't worry - it's Google. The ridiculous tiny apps will have their couple of interesting features rolled into Hangouts after they're cancelled in eighteen months.
Yeah, I recently bought a used 5s for testing work, based on the claim that iTunes wasn't required. There is an Apple Store in this State but it's almost two hours away.
The flower crown thing washes out the whole damn picture. My daughter thought it was funny to take pictures of me in the car the other day with the dog face filter and the flower crown filter. The flower crown filter picture is complete crap, with most of the dynamic range thrown out. I posted them both up to my Facebook, side-by-side if anybody cares to look at what nonsense this complaint is. It would be a waste of your time though.
Last I heard, the Telegram crypto is shit. At least WhatsApp integrated Signal's protocol. Now if they'd allow federation between Signal users and Whatsapp users, and more than 3 devices per account (really? I have a dozen machines I use) then we'd have all the platforms covered and a choice of clients outside of silos.
Nah, that would be too useful for the spymasters to allow. Better that the tech companies all keep trying to maintain their failing messaging monopolies than work together and do something about the massive societal problem.
Therefore, claiming that a parent needed their child's permission to post something is meaningless.
Regardless of the legal code, the ethical reasoning is very muddled.
The most workable construction is that, while, yes, a child is born with inherent rights, the child is initially incapable of exercising those rights. Nobody says that a toddler should be free to head off to a rave downtown - it's expected that a parent will appropriately curtail the child's rights.
Over time, the parent(s), the custodian of those child's rights, will slowly cede the rights back to the child, as his brain matures. By time the child turns 18, he's legally recognized as an adult with full rights (excepting Prohibitionist nonsense).
The French here seek to punish a parent for exercising the rights over which he has moral custody, which is, in effect, exercising his own rights.
Sure, some parents will make bad choices, but most will not, and having a government suing parents for sharing pics of their kids is far, far, more dangerous to the society than the occasional lapse of judgement.

Otherwise they didn't need to spend $5.6B on Sun.
Can you imagine if 66 people died from smoking cigarettes? Why, they'd be banned immediately.

No mod points, but thank you.
So this is a win for the student and hobbyist, but not worth much beyond being a rapid prototype test bed for the commercial world.
Seeing as how the Pi is designed to democratize access to hardware for students and hobbyists, I'm not sure Google is too worried about that.
Somebody who wants a commercial run of units can have a machine custom-built in China for less than the Pi3 costs.

I got a couple of these last year. The data lines aren't connected (YMMV on the other claims). Use adapters as needed.
Practice safe charging, /..
It's short-term vs. long-term thinking.

we have to change the way laws are written first

Ad revenue, increased Office sales, a very slight chance of making it in "the Cloud".
The blame lies directly on the consumers and voters, nowhere else. It's simple math.
It is, indeed, simple math:

Blame the system. Or, more specifically, work to eliminate it. But that won't happen by voting (see above).

Power users use Signal anyway. If Google wants to federate with Moxie and Whatsapp, I'll switch to Hangouts.
Don't worry - it's Google. The ridiculous tiny apps will have their couple of interesting features rolled into Hangouts after they're cancelled in eighteen months.

Right. Google's new policy is the one that's actually regressive.
