Because meat tastes good! Personally, I have no problem eating meat, but the Impossible Burger is a really good substitute for those who want to avoid meat for any reason. I've only had one at a "gourmet" burger place, so I'm not sure how the fast food versions compare.
But it's the original advertiser that presses the "submit" button that causes the ad to be published. If you ran a magazine but allowed anyone (for a price) to use your equipment to print additional pages and bind them into your magazine, who would be causing those pages to be published? Who published them? Is permitting the same as causing? I don't think these are easy questions with easy answers.
A large percentage of the homes in my neighborhood have satellite TV, because when it was built, the cable company waited almost a year to connect the neighborhood (I think they wanted 80% of the development occupied). Once people got satellite TV, they realized the quality and customer services were MUCH better than the cable companies. Cable has definitely surpassed DSL for internet (we were stuck with DSL for that time, too), but I still prefer satellite to cable for TV. Using internet for TV really doesn't compare at this point - there really aren't any good plug-and-play solutions (i.e., not a PC, and not an ad-driven streaming box) with the same consistent quality.
But social media sites aren't "the media" (in the "news" sense). They don't write and publish the content people are complaining about - they're a "public" bulletin board where anybody can post whatever they want (legally - the sites can remove whatever posts they want, but aren't required to). They are a place for users to share media (words, pictures, etc.) with whoever wants to receive it.
Are these same people complaining that their local newsstand isn't spending enough time reading all the newspapers and magazines they sell in order to tear out the "questionable" articles? Likewise, the post office isn't responsible even if illegal drugs or other goods are mailed using their service.
I don't understand why people think the distribution network is responsible in any way for the content that is pushed through their network. If anything, the social networks are a victim of people abusing their system.
It seems like we're cycling back to mainframes, timesharing, and leased enterprise software. Soon someone will discover that home computers are powerful enough to do everything from a personal computer that fits on a desktop! There will be no more need to rely on expensive data centers run by white-coated sysadmins. And you won't even have to worry about timeshare bills.
It is very common when writing code that needs to support multiple units, whether it be various framerates, metric vs. imperial measurements, dpi settings, etc. that the units be stored as an integral LCM of the various units. This allows easy conversion back and forth without rounding errors. There's nothing new here, just their selection of framerates, which doesn't even include the ubiquitous xxx/1001 rates.
I have been working for a major medical device company for the last few years, and there are plenty of 40+ developers here. I think this is because critical/regulated industries have very high standards for code quality, testing, documentation, process, etc. There's no room for thrown-together web apps that are pushed to production with little testing every week.
When lives are at stake, companies need the best, seasoned developers that have a lot a experience and would never consider releasing something that is "good enough", or to release code with known bugs with a plan to fix them later, or try the latest-and-greatest unproven technologies, etc.
On the surface this isn't exciting, glamorous work, but can be very satisfying and challenging in its own way.
I use Feedly to monitor around 100 RSS feeds. Every morning I peruse the headlines and read any stories of interest, the way people used to read the morning newspaper. There isn't really any reasonable alternative. Visiting all those individual sites and dealing with different layouts, scrolling, paging, etc. would be a nightmare.
I suspect this only really helps if you are taking a roughly circular route on low-speed roads with many stops. Driving from point A to point B (what most of us do) doesn't usually have too many options when it comes to turns (driving clockwise around a block to avoid a left turn is almost never going to pay off) and usually involve longer stretches at higher speeds.
From the description, this doesn't sound like cheating. It simply sounds like the transmission shifting algorithm can vary shift points, which in turn can affect emissions. There's nothing surprising or revelatory about that. The real problem seems to be that the EPA is using a static test for a dynamic system.
This would be great if I could simply skip the ISP part. All I want is a connection from home to the backbone. I don't want any other ISP "services" like email, web hosting, packet sniffing, ad injection, port blocking, etc.
Unfortunately, it just sounds like they're adding yet another middle man.
Now: You -> ISP -> Backbone New: You -> Municipality -> ISP -> Backbone
And if I understand that right, I don't think users would really care about what ISP they have (the same way they don't care about which backbone providers their packets traverse). It's the closest connection that is the one users really care about (and have the most trouble with).
Slot machine manufacturers seem to be the first to adopt new display technologies. They have been using curved LCDs (with large and small radii, both convex and concave), transparent LCDs (both over mechanical reels and over opaque displays to create a multi-level display), opaque LCDs with clear "holes", small round (or square with rounded corners) LCDs for game buttons, LCD displays with RGB (or at least multicolor) backlights, etc.
Most of these technologies have been on casino floors for several years.
The core browser functionality is there and working, but there is still a lot missing. For example, the right-clicking on a hyperlink only has options for opening in a new tab or new window. All the other options (Copy Shortcut, Properties, Save Target As..., etc.) are missing. As previously mentioned, F11 doesn't do anything and there doesn't seem to be any way to run full-screen at all (just maximized, which leave the title bar). Also, when first launched, the address bar is not shown - this feels very strange (I'm not in the habit of typing URLs into search boxes, and it makes actually searching for pages containing a URL to not work as expected.).
Hopefully with their new "continuous releases" process, these things will come incrementally and regularly.
The problem with JavaScript is that it appears easy, but in reality it is a fairly complex language that requires skilled programmers to use correctly. I would be more apt to hire an entry level programmer for C/C++/C#, and leave JavaScript for the more senior developers who can use it correctly.
Someone without a lot of experience with good coding practices and software architecture concepts may be able to write some "working" JavaScript, but it will probably be unorganized spaghetti code that is impossible to maintain, inefficient, and probably contains a ton of undetected bugs.
I guess I'm the rare "ideal customer" for these types of games. 95% of the use of my Xbox 360 is at house parties we hold for our friends. As the night wears on, Rock Band, Guitar Hero, and DJ Hero get cranking. They are perfect for all ages and skill levels (particularly those who don't have a gaming system of their own and don't game regularly) to have a good time without having to work at it. Rocksmith has its place, but casual players don't want to study and practice just to have fun.
We have tried other "group" games like some of the Kinect games, but they're too much work for most of our guests (ages 25-60), and because we use a projector, it is tricky to stand in such a way as to not block part of the image.
The lack of fun music games is why I stick with my Xbox 360 and have not upgraded to an Xbox One. Perhaps someone could list some other fun party games that are available on the Xbox One.
As the percentage of people receiving government benefits exceeds 50%, it looks likely that the country will quickly accelerate into the bankrupt world described in Atlas Shrugged.
For society to succeed, everyone needs to work as hard as they can (or want) and receive compensation proportionate to the value they provide to their employer. Extreme wealth has to remain possible as a goal for which everyone can strive (obviously, some people would be happy working less and receiving less). Putting limits on the possible will inevitably reduce the incentives for everyone.

This then leads to the question of who is doing the publishing? Is Facebook a publisher or are they the newspaper delivery truck and/or newsstand?
Why would they use the phone as a symbol for their anti-litter campaign when they knew it wasn't litter?
Except this time, the repeating is being done by Google instead of Microsoft.

Your premise is incorrect. This isn't internet regulation - it is regulation over the connection to the internet.
But social media sites aren't "the media" (in the "news" sense).

Can you cite examples of Snopes being incorrect?
Agreed. Social sites are for social commentary/discussion, not news. Go to a news site if you want news.

1988 is the year the NeXT computer was released. The current OSX is technically the latest version of the NeXT OS, so 1988 is correct.

Unless you run some malicious software on your embroidery machine, there is no risk from this vulnerability.
