What it may do is make some of them realise how badly they are being exploited since it seems everyone I talk to claims they are making a fortune due to them not being honest with themselves about the real hours and real costs they have to put in.
Users that are that stupid are beyond help, it won't matter what security features you implement they will do brain dead shit like that, you can't design software for those people as the only solution them is take away their computer. The value in the screen is information front and center for what has changed
It doesn't have to be black and white. Take an approach similar to Microsoft's where they show a screen on first use with all the defaults set but the ability to select your own, clueless users get to click next and keep what Mozilla thinks is best while knowledgeable users can make whatever choice that they see fit as they are being informed.
It is a win because if successful it shows the corporate cancer known as google they need to adopt a more reasonable stance or they can be worked around.
WTF? struck gold?? never heard of this company of the app and if I had no fucking way would I or anyone I know have willingly used it. I can't imagine any market demand for this and lets face it, if there was no way they would be shutting down so easy. Sounds like an excuse for a failed venture.
In this space the salesdroids are only ever interested in selling what gives them the best commissions and kickbacks. My guess would be currently at least these kickbacks and commissions are fuck all for these. Never base any decision on what a salesdroid says, they will lie through their teeth and tell you black is white if it brings them the best commission.
They are not nearly as night and day as you think, and the fact you cannot understand that just goes to show the general level of financial ignorance of Slashdot... Sad.
TSLA has a massive debt and with extremely low credit rating
The credit rating was lowered by Moody's (and others) because they could not meet production goals, which they are now meeting.
NO, their credit rating was lowered as they are at risk of default due to significant cash flow issues. Christ, feel free to be a Tesla fan, but that level of financial ignorance makes you look an idiot.
Are you truly so stupid you cannot do even the simplest predictions of credit ratings changes? Guess so. Unlike you, I am not looking at what is, I am looking at what will be to certain degree of certainty.
No you are a delusional fanboy that is unable to separate his love for musk and tesla from financial reality.
The fact that TSLA's credit rating will be upgraded is a certainty and if you can't see that you should probably stick to funds and not speculate on the market that you cannot understand the basics of
Wow lol you really do know nothing about the stock market or financial industry. Their credit rating will ONLY be updated when it is obvious the significant risk of detault has lessoned, at this point we are definitely NOT moving in that direction yet. It may happen but it won't be anytime this quarter.
I honestly feel so sorry for you and others here, you guys all need to do some reading. I have been in the market decades and that kind of experience takes a while to build, but there are still ways you can learn that you seem to be ignoring.
Good luck, I'm not going to respond to you further since at the moment you have nothing knowledgeable to talk about.
I call bullshit, no one with your level of ignorance will have been trading on the market for years let alone decades. and no having a few shares you bought doesn't count.
such manipulation would be easily visible on the market, their hasn't been any such disturbances in the market volumes to back up your conspiracy theory.
What the hell? TSLA vs AMZN is night and day. nothing wrong with having a high risk share like tesla but you should understand what you are getting into and why. TSLA has a massive debt and with extremely low credit rating they have to pay a premium on debts and is a single quarters disaster away from insolvency. Yes they may well turn out very profitable long term, but they could just as easily not exist in 6-12 months time at this point or the shares may be significantly diluted to pay for capital investment. Amazon has long since gotten past that high risk time of there existence, they have a good credit rating and don't have mountains of debt or significant near term risks. honestly if you think they are similar you probably should not be investing in the stock market.
people spent years communicating at the top of there lungs only to be repeatedly told by mozilla they were wrong and Mozilla knew what they really wanted better.
probably more of a large gamble, they had to impress early on to get the funding or they would have been dead before they had anything, Nothing wrong with having lofty ambitions. Where I think they have fallen over is in being so secretive about where the tech is up to which makes the difference between their marketing BS and reality such a stark contrast that it will be hard to overcome unless they can actually deliver on some of the initial hype. That secretive approach only works when what you are delivering to the user is going to be so much better or different than everything out there.
Who said anything about lying where the call centre is? we don't hide the fact our call centre is in the US/Singapore/UK/India (depends on time of day night you call as we have follow the sun), but we do like to give residents of other countries local free numbers they can make the call to without having to be concerned about which country they need to dial./
It's also bizarre enough that you can sue companies for not fulfilling your personal expectations.
They aren't. They are suing him for making misleading statements to the market and failure to disclose market pertinent information not for "not fulfilling personal expectations"
firstly it is options trading so most likely it was $180k invested not a million. secondly most banks have learnt their lesson, options trading is not like margin lending, they generally do not allow large leverages if any at all (my bank for instance requires all positions to be fully covered), you usually have to have either shares or cash or cash equivalents that can cover any losses.
Yes there are, but given the drop and his losses he obviously isn't doing straddles. Even with a straddle it is the equivalent of betting on black and red, occasionally it will come up green, a straddle is by no means a guarantee.
Really seems wholly unimpressive, they could have saved billions and bought a HoloLens a few years ago and put together the same demos for a fraction of the cost.
Probably, either way the only certainty is the US and China will no longer exist as major powers in the world. perhaps the win is for other countries? but I doubt the fallout could just be restricted to within those two countries borders.
No Usually when you buy a laptop with windows on it you are paying less as the bloatware that the 3rd party vendors pay to put on with the OEM usually more than covers the $50 windows price (it isn't $200). Most laptops without an OS would actually cost more.
I think the incorrect part is the list is much too short by focusing on only the dictators as it leaves out a lot of even worse abuses like Cuba and Rwanda
My landline is currently free (just a VOIP connection that is only charged when I make a call). I used to leave it off except for when my wife needs to make calls to her mother or friends overseas but of late I just leave it on with some firewall rules to ensure it never rings during sleep time, the only calls EVER received on it for the last 2 years are the scam callers (or political/charity spam). I could turn off the incoming phone calls but at least for the moment I do get some perverse pleasure in screwing with the scammers.

probably because around the late 60's/early 70's minimum wage was at its peak and has declined in inflation adjusted figures since then.

sooo your saying volvo's 2015 HoloLens videos were all fake?
try plugging in your headset while charging the phone, then you will understand why you need dongles.

This is precisely why we should get rid of for profit enterprises and run every business democratically.
They have a name for that, it is called communism

The key part is creepy and unsettling, no offence but your voice should be perfect for that :-) as is mine!
