I provided a medium through which speech could propagate - the air inside the bar. Or supposing my bar is on a planet with no air, and everyone communicates through radio in their pressure-suit helmets. In any case, is transmitting speech the same as speaking?
If I own a bar, and a patron of that bar says something disparaging about someone else, am I liable? Am I responsible for going to around to everyone who was in the bar that day and correcting the disparager? Come on.
...that Microsoft is somehow evil for doing this, just because. Or that Apple is evil. Or that Microsoft and Apple are being co-operatively evil. Or something.
More like McD's buying their bulk ground beef from a generic wholesaler, then spicing and packaging it along the lines of their brand. Which is probably a smart business move.
You realize that's got nothing whatsoever to do with why "This note is legal tender etc." is printed on the dollar bill, right? That was done to limit individual choice an establish the Federal Reserve Note as inescapable fiat currency.
OK, so suppose one of the coffee shops or bakeries in this story were a sole proprietorship. Would you *then* be OK with them having a cashless transaction policy?
Um, if you RTFA, the city councilman's concern is not about privacy or third-party transaction services, it's about people not being able to buy things in cashless stores because they don't have cashless accounts, which he thinks is "exclusionary". I'm just pointing out the illogic of this, but you go ahead and rant about your privacy, which no one involved in this is threatening, if you like.
Then you don't have to go to those stores if you don't want to. The people who do go to such stores, apparently don't care, which is no skin off your nose.
If the store tells you in advance that they refuse to provide you with the product unless you will pay cashless, and you refuse to accept those terms, then you have not yet incurred a debt. If you receive the product and then state you will only pay with cash, then the store can just take back the product, again no debt incurred
Uh... what's next? Are we going to close all Mercedes-Benz dealerships because they don't sell any cars for $5000, or $1000? Isn't that also "exclusionary"? Are we going to shut down the subway, since some people can't afford a ride? Some people can't afford some things. That is not going to change because some Marxist city council member wants it to.
Paperwhites, Voyages, etc. are edge-lit. Trust me, it's far easier on the eyes than even a top-notch backlit LCD display. It may be the first digital display that's even better than paper.
This past weekend, I had to take Uber rides from western Suffolk County NY to Queens and back, about 30 miles each way. Both drivers were scrupulous about following the speed limit, maybe a couple of miles over, when they easily could have gone faster. (I certainly did not ask them to.)
Do I understand correctly that, in the quoted part of the posted story, the first number is the actual performance and the second one is the estimate? These numbers are essentially identical, i.e. FB hit its estimates almost precisely. So what's the problem, other than that investors are a bunch of histrionic idiots looking way too hard for something to get upset about?
That depends on what you mean by "quality" and what you consider important in the data. If you can compress away visual details that the eye/brain cannot detect, in an image that is primarily meant for human viewing, then you have reduced the data with no apparent loss of quality. Similarly for audio, if you throw out data that the average (or say 90th-percentile person) can't hear, you can reduce the amount of data with no apparent loss of quality. The use of formats like MP3, JPEG, and MPEG by hundreds of millions if not billions of people every day bears out this concept.

What happened to HDL vs. LDL and VLDL and the ratios between them and all that stuff?

I wasn't aware you had to be a "big corporation" to run a coffee shop.

Assembler.
Or a BASIC interpreter in a ROM, perhaps with the ability to load machine language subroutines from DATA statements.
Those were fairly traditional on machines with specs similar to yours
And, of course, assembly is so much safer than C.

Keep stupid clickbait headlines off Slashdot, will ya?
Well, at least we're still designing the reactors that everyone else uses...[shrug]
A VW Touareg did this several years ago. And no wimpy-ass Dreamliner, but a 747. https://www.autoblog.com/2006/...
..."white hat" and "black hat" were for...?
...says a less successful competitor. Uh, huh.
I propose:
The interstitium is the body's internet.
After all, it's a very small layer of tubes that transmits through the entire body...
...and it's mostly used for porn?
