This is why I no longer fly. When the government treats you as a criminal, even though you've done nothing wrong, and you have no recourse, we've reach an Orwellian state.
The best thing people can do is not fly and let the airlines fall apart.
But they won't. As we see every day, people are too stupid to say no to injustices such as this. They'll gladly endure every imaginable humiliation because their government says it's for their protection.
Removing all germs is why more and more people get sick so often. They're so germophobic their bodies don't develop immunity to minor bugs, let alone the bigger ones. These are the same people who run to the doctor when they have a sniffle and demand an antibiotic which is why we are beginning to see antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
NOTE: this does not mean I don't wash my hands after using the restroom or that people who handle food should not wash their hands. I'm only saying that building up an immunity would go a long way to helping mitigate outbreaks.
The con artist will defend this malware, just like he defended North Korea's brutal regime and its dictator, or the way he defends Putin and Russia's deliberate bombing of hospitals and civilians in Syria.
He'll probably even apologize for this malware simply because he admires dictators.
Firefox is being abandoned and folks like me do not upgrade to the latest and greatest.
As I have said many, many times before, never let programmers program your applications. This is what you get. Something which is practically unusable by the end user but which has plenty of eye candy because it could be done.
Anyone who didn't see she was ripping people off, from the beginning, deserves what they got. From day one she never showed how her system was supposed to work, never submitted any evidence to the FDA to show it worked, and never allowed anyone to try and reproduce her work.
If those aren't alarm bells, you're deaf.
First, there are plenty of people for these jobs but the government doesn't consider them "looking" because they haven't actually looked for a job in the last week or so. It's why the unemployment numbers aren't really that accurate.
Second, and this has been going on for decades, employers will put up fake jobs in that the position doesn't exist, but the employer wants to get a feel for who is out there and what they want in pay.
Third, as the most recent jobs numbers showed, the largest portion of job creation is service jobs. i.e. low wage positions. One could argue that an increase in service jobs is a reflection of a growing economy, it could also mean that automation is taking away some of the more manual jobs which pushes down employment for those who would have done those jobs, thus revealing the only job growth is at your local Kwik E Mart rather than a production line. Since one can't live off those wages, they don't bother applying for such jobs.
While the numbers indicate more jobs than people looking, as the con artist would say, they're fake.
I never unzip a file to any place other than an empty directory on my desktop. All the files go in one spot, no overwriting of anything. From there I do what I need.
Doesn't matter what it is. If it needs to be unzipped, it goes to an empty spot.
Uber is a taxi service. They control who they hire, they dictate the rates being charged, they tell their drivers they can't carry firearms in their vehicles, and so on and so forth.
Since Musk can send an OtA update to adjust brake usage, he can send a command to disable auto pilot on all Teslas in the wild.
With that problem taken care of, he and his engineers can spend their time working on reworking and/or improving their "auto pilot" so it doesn't run into parked vehicles. Or anything else.
Every day I clear my data. Everything is wiped clean and I start fresh. Yes, advertisers could deduce about me with each daily trek through the Net wilderness, but I also have uMatrix which blocks other forms of advertising and intrusive behavior so they have to work for it.
Regardless, since I don't see whatever it is they're peddling, it's no big deal. It costs them money so I'm happy.
That was pretty much the single most important piece when I accepted the job offer. In exchange for them paying me, I agreed to do the work. One can always argue the place I work at is not holding a gun to my head and telling me I have to work, but that's not what's happening here.
These people are not employees. They're not even contractors. They are self-employed people who use YouTube to peddle their wares. They chose to do this. None of what they are experiencing is YouTube's fault.
If they believe YouTube is being unreasonable (it isn't since they're not doing anything), they can find another outlet for their "creations". So yes, they can find another job.
Company policy says riders and drivers cannot carry firearms in vehicles while using the ride-sharing app
If the company dictates whether their driver can carry a weapon, if the company dictates the prices their drivers can charge, if the company can dictate other aspects of how their drivers perform their work, then they're employees and Uber is nothing more than a glorified cab company. They are not a "ride-sharing" company.
Is YouTube forcing these people to put up content? Do they enforce deadlines when something needs to be posted? In what way is YouTube anything but a way for these people to post something?
It's difficult to have any sympathy for these folks when they're the ones who made the decision to "create" and post it. They're the ones who think they have to get more and more viewers. They're the ones who are driving themselves down the rabbit hole.
If this is too stressful for them, perhaps they should find a job at McDonald's.
Sure, blame the cats. Don't blame the people who don't have their cats spayed or neutered, who let their unfixed cats roam during the day and night rather than be kept inside, who think nothing of tossing cats and kittens outside to fend for themselves.
It's as if the cats are doing what comes naturally, but the supposed smartest animal on the planet has played no role in this situation.
Had any of these incidents happened while driving a manual car, all one would have to do is depress the clutch and move the stick shift into a neutral position. The engine may still be racing and it may cook itself, but at least you won't continue to be propelled forward at a high rate of speed.
But then, as wallE showed, we'd rather be coddled to death.
Facebook unilaterally decides the news that billions of people around the world see every day."
No, people choose to use FB as their news source rather than going to real news organizations. These people believe they don't have the time to read the source material and instead want to be spoon-fed dribs and drabs.
FB is offering the service. That people are too lazy to do their own footwork is not FB's problem.

Most likely it will be the usual, RTFM!

Windows 10 as a whole isn't ready for prime time. It's a huge leap backwards in usability with more eye candy than a strip club.
It's almost as if the developers who wrote this steaming pile have no idea what they're doing.
If you're not going to pay people for the music, movies or software they produce, don't expect someone to pay for what you produce.

Anyone who gives so much as a cent to this criminal deserves to lose it. And yes, I will laugh at them. Heartily.

Go hang out in Chernobyl or Three Mile Island, and tell me the problem with nuclear is caused by lawyers and executives.
You have no clue about Three Mile Island. There is literally no comparison between it and Chernobyl.
But please, keep talking out your ass. We need the laughs.

Things that have the word 'truth' (Pravda is truth in Russian) in the title or name, usually have very little of it in its content or substance.
It's the same reason the Fox tabloid dropped "Fair and Balanced".
