They are certified to work with the vendor supplied drivers AND with google apps preinstalled. Google requires as part of the certification process that those must be included. Those drivers aren't all magically built into Android nor are they necessarily publicly available.
4) the usual shithouse Slashdot story with only half the information.
The car reeked of what the cop suspected was a masking agent (cologne), THC oil money and a gun was also found. The guy also had no license, registration or insurance. He also wasn't charged with a misdemeanour he was charged with a felony due to the gun and oil and has a past history of marijuana arrests.
The full story makes it sound like far less of an overreach. Montanez had no license, registration or insurance documentation and the car reeked of a cologne (likely masking agent so cop could not smell the drugs) and he had a large wad of cash on him and 2 new phones. They also found small vials of THC oil and a gun, while the weed may have been a misdemeanour the oil is a felony. With all that any reasonable person would be assuming this guy is a dealer. Obviously a lot of that left out here to make everyone think this is just another case of authorities overreaching.
Two "new" phones, drugs in car. I would suspect he is a dealer with burner phones, then refusing their search would just reinforce that. realistically if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and looks like a duck it probably is a fucking duck.
How the fuck is being required to show the real price up front a ridiculous regulation, rather than the bait and switch method and hidden fees the US uses?
There is no law saying it is illegal to show the breakdown, just that the total price must be displayed up front. you can still itemise every tax, every fee and make that clearly visible and many places do. In Australia we also require total price upfront, but GST, fees etc are normally broken down in the invoice/bill so nothing is hidden, you just don't have to wait till you are half way through a purchase to work out what the fuck you have to pay.
that's nothing. the $70 shade sail I was after was listed for $10,000. when I contacted seller to ask for real price they said they do that as a placeholder when out of stock.
article reading too much into intensions. two common reasons:
a) Money laundering as OP points out.
b) placeholder for out of stock. many vendors on ebay and amazon put stupid prices as a placeholder while they have no stock.
But they haven't been wiped out yet, Australia is working hard to prevent that from happening, though between Cane toads, carp, mosquitos, foxes, rabbits, cats, pigs, camels, dogs, goats etc we have many species bordering on extinction unless research like this is successful very very soon. This is also only a sub species. it doesn't remove mosquitos from the environment just the particular disease carrying sub species.
Mosquitoes are NOT essential food items for any known species, especially not a recently introduced variety. At the moment introduced pest in Australia are decimating native species, but you think it more important to save an introduced one just in case something in the last 20 years has become dependent on it.
Not sure about you but I frequently now find the Ad blocker detected and I get blocked and restricted in my viewing of the web sites. I think we are fast approaching the time when either people with Ad Blockers get blocked completely or we end up with subscription model. Sadly I could put up with Ads if they were Not intrusive cunts about how they did the advertising. Auto play sound and video, scroll over expanding ads, pop ups, pop unders etc etc. We are fucked one way or the other.
I can just imagine the VC faces when they see the real demo. half terrified and hoping for the right response too "ha ha, come on guys it isn't April 1st we need to see the real demo"
I'm not sure why this is so hard for people to understand - judges don't (and shouldn't) make the laws. They only attempt to interpret them as cases are brought before them where a violation is claimed.
Want different laws? Elect different legislators.
but a judges political, ideological and religious leanings directly affect their interpretations of those laws. These are also lifelong positions which may have huge ramifications for years if not decades to come. it is pure ignorance to think the laws start and end with the legislators.
As you have stated, there are levels of risk. Any level above zero would be considered gambling, because you're wagering on an uncertain outcome. You can use many terms to describe it, but at the end of the day it's still rather black and white as to you accepting a risk with the potential outcome of losing your entire investment.
under that definition everything in life is gambling and the word investment doesn't exist. Even putting your money in a bank account or under your mattress is just gambling. With investments their is NOT always a winner and loser, both sides of the transaction can win, so no you are not playing against the house. investment is a weighted risk where the return outweighs the risk, gambling is hoping to get lucky and beat the odds/house.
woosh! you completely missed the point. regulations of emissions and quality of the work are unrelated items. meeting or missing a regulated target has no bearing on the quality of the work.
unlikely, The GT-R is a high end sports car with very low volume in sales. Even if they had falsified them to hide high emissions the fine would be tiny compared to VW. however it seems the cars are compliant, just the test were originally never done, still a big deal, just not a VW level big deal.
well you should really buy a mechanical keyboard that costs more than 40 bucks... really..
why? what the fuck does it matter what is costs as long as it works and is comfortable for you to type on. I use an old mechanical keyboard that doesn't even have a visible brand name on it, might have worn off but regardless it is fine and probably didn't cost me much more than 40 bucks when I bought it a couple of decades ago.

So why isn't the response "fix these abusive practices, or be denied access to our market" rather than "give us a bunch of money".
That actually was the first response, this is the followup for them saying no/doing nothing.
ahhhh no, it is a very common skill. Again you have been listening to De Beers PR BS.
To be fair it didn't Morph into that, Trump always defined Fake News as news he didn't want to hear.

Apple only have 2% marketshare in India. 17% growth is fucking awful when you are already on the bottom of the pile.
17% growth is great when it is a mature market. 17% growth in a rapidly expanding and growing market is stagnation.

I don't like censorship, but seriously isn't it about time Slashdot took some measures to actively block this spamming cunt!

There were quite a few deluded individuals on here and elsewhere defending their claims.
