*allegedly*
I understand that the lying new-speak fascists and bible-banging evangelical death cultist fucktards now run the US, but we still have the concept of "innocent until proven guilty"
Seems you've been blissfully unaware that in the US, committing mass fraud to the tune of billions and paying a fraction of that in fines has been the standard business model for over 20 years. This is nothing new, Trump is just making it globalized. The rule of law has been supplanted by rule of "who has the most money"
I agree the US is "top dog" for now, but when you consider the US relies on creating more and more debt to remain being "top dog", and the majority of major US Corporations are setting up shop offshore to not pay taxes, and prime themselves to leave the US entirely, how long will that last after China and the BRICS take the lead away?
At the very least it will result in a dramatic drop in the Dollar and the US Debt being given junk status. This will be huge for the BRICS and their New Development Bank as the global economy will naturally transition to the Yuan and the New Development Bank, ending the reign of Western Finance
Considering that the US is already falling behind the rest of the world in tech innovation and that this falling behind will only increase along with the inability of US students unable to get an education -- by 2030, the US will be in a very bad position, and you will start seeing an exodus of US tech from the US as they move to China and India which will offer higher skilled, better educated workers than they can find in the US. The present day tech shortage in the US will by then be beyond crises due to the anti-education the policies of Trump and DeVos
America is hell bent on creating as much poverty as possible and many States are now even criminalizing poverty, allowing people to be sent to prison for unpaid fines etc and holding people for years in jail over small bail amounts they can not pay. All while DeVos and the Trump Administration are trying to do away with Public Education entirely, and they are working to take away Federal Financial Assistance for College Education. It's like they are literally trying to grow a Nation of ignorant Convicts
And why would this be? Could it be because the 13th Amendment allows for Slavery in two distinct cases: Prison and the Military?
Interesting to note that these are the areas where America has done the most expansion over the last 40 years and where most poor people in America have no choice but to wind up
Contrast and compare to China, which is raising an Army of Programmers, Scientists and Engineers through State Programs and plans on training 1 MILLION CITIZENS to work in AI by the 2020s
So while America is busy impoverishing US Households and denying children education while subjecting them to mass murder after mass murder, China is educating and building up it's work force. America is building up it's Prison Society, which is already the largest in the world and presently accounts for 25% of the World Total Prison Population. By the 203's it will likely be half the World's Prison Population, all for a Nation that accounts for only 4% of the total global population
We should be working hard to fight China, not with military, but with education and with putting people to work and in school, not in prison
But from what I se, and the "fuck you, I got mine" attitude of the average American, I think America is good and truly fucked and there is simply no saving it. Bear in mind that most major US Corps agree, which is why they've moved their finances offshore adn are only US Companies in name only, by the mid-20's expect to see many if not most US Corps leaving the US soil entirely. For my part, I've off-shored myself and have made myself globalized so I am not bound to the fate of America adn recommend you do as well if you can
So you have issue with everyone that uses an iphone? Sometimes the person being the asshole is you. Slashdot should deal with normalizing the text from modern devices
Considering 1 in 3 Households in the US rank as âoeThe Working Poorâ, Americaâ(TM)s fastest growing demographic and the fact that the majority of US Households cannot afford to send their children to a college in the US, how exactly shall the US remain relevant at all. Itâ(TM)s a well known fact on Wall Street that the days of US economic supremacy are over. Itâ(TM)s all about the cash heist now. By 2035 China and the BRICS will rule and the US will become a 3rd world shithole renowned for it Prison Society and corporate backed military authoritarianism against its population of impoverished ignorant bible banging fuckwads
But now that MS has acquired Github, it too shall be turned to shit just like practically every other online acquisition MS has made since... ever.
Time to move to Bitbucket or Gitlab
And shit like this will be the norm around the world as the other nations strive to follow their lead
Too bad that by 2030 the US will be a nation of bible banging morons with no education living poverty
But the US Prison Industry will use this on their 100m+ population of "Prison Workers" manning the Factories they voted for Trump to build
Well, adding more layers of clothing actually works and can keep you alive
But making things cold, that's a feat that requires energy and engineering to make happen
Sorry, when I stated "It's their phone" I did not mean that it's their phone after purchase, just that it's their product that they invest significant resources into designing and building. I'm definitely all for the "Right to Repair" and the age old concept that when you buy something, you own it outright. The fact that in this day and age we have to fight to preserve these concepts shows just how fucked up and anti-consumer Apple and other tech companies are
I'm all for Apple making money off the Apps people put into the App Store. It's their Phone, it's their Platform. They deserve to make money off that. But THIRTY FUCKING PERCENT OF ALL In-App Purchases?? That was never a fair shake and was a definite cash grab meant to exploit the work of the Developers creating those Apps. There is simply no way to justify taking 30% of the revenue from the Developers who toil to make those Apps. I think it's time Apple slashes it's cut and substantially. And by substantial I mean just that -- at least half, down to 15% or even 10%. Perhaps these Developers can attain some critical mass and have enough weight that they could yank all their apps and make a considerable dent in the App Store. That sort of move would get attention and provide some leverage. It's high time Apple stopped fucking over it's developer base, who has been a large part of the reason for the iPhone's success.
About time that ISPs can charge for the right to access information you get through THEIR networks
THIS IS AMERICA -- if you want free information build your own internet you fucking commie liberals
Maybe in America where every last little scrap of money is everything this would be a huge lesson
But I imagine that a small Irish town would rather NOT have those scraps of money (most of which will go to the architects and building contractors) and preserve their way of life. Unlike in the US, not every town is thrilled at the idea of becoming a strip mall for tech workers to get their ramen and dry cleaning and who bring the self-centered, clueless phone gazing monoculture culture of elitism and snobbery with them
So yes, I think Apple got the hint that this community and the PEOPLE in it had serious reservations and some even colder feet, though they were tempted by the prospects, I think both parties are much better off with this deal being called off
If it means keeping manual labor more effective than current or emerging automated technology while improving their overall health and well being, I'd say the answer is yes
While on our first rafting trip together on the Truckee River, my dog, a vizsla jumped out of the raft, cleared over 30' of water, ran up an embankment into some bushes and promptly returned with some old tennis ball that had been laying there -- that he clearly smelled from over 30' away and over moving water
There is no way in hell our sense of smell rivals a dog with a nasal cavity larger than a pugs
FUCK YOU -- do you know the 1st thing about Boko Haram?
Can you actually sit there and state that you have any evidence that shows that Boko Haram has any capability of employing any sort of tactics above brute force warlord style tactics on their immediate locality? Is there any evidence of Boko Haram having any sort of International Network or capability to strike the US?
I would liken Boko Haram to be on par with street gangs here in the US
Would you cry foul if other nations started detaining random Americans because the US was home to such "terrorist" organizations as the Crips and Bloods, Skinheads and Mexican Mafia?
Because each those organizations are more sophisticated, organized and better armed than Boko Haram
I tried Sprint when I first moved to the SF Bay Area in 2001. Bad mistake -- even with this "bargain" I don't think I would ever go back
Poor coverage, and they stuck me on this tiny little price plan and refused to offer me anything higher. After getting a cell bill for $700 I said eff it and left.
Paying the early termination fee after only a couple months was far more affordable than continuing to use them
Considering we have a surplus of ignorant, uneducated and useless people such as yourself, I think you are the one that should be doing the killing of oneself
No -- what I am saying is that the Middle Class is dying, and the millennials will join the ever growing ranks of the working poor. Because that's what's going on, the destruction of the middle class, and the creation of a bi-furcated society of the Have's and the other 90% who will be the working poor

I recall getting a turbo 486 back in the 90s, was shipped oveclocked. But didnâ(TM)t require a freaking mini fridge to make it sustainable

I spent a week in the peak of summer in Puerto Rico a couple years back, 85% humidity 90F heat and the AC was most definitely an escape
Fly my pretties, fly!
