There is always an impact on the planet, small or large by our human actions. But, I can't stand decrees like this. Where is the data? Never seems to be available.
Always install a graph or picture with red as bad. More importantly, who funds and backs such research, and who will benefit from the research? Alot of money to be made in this business.
To believe something, facts are needed. Do real science. Present the facts and let people discuss and draw a conclusion. This will actually get some discussion going and get forward progress.
Instead, divisive statements are made with little to no facts to back them up. People take their opinions to their own corners and call anyone with a different opinion a hater, stupid, ignorant. This doesn't work.
Planet Earth is here for us all to live on. Let try to solve issues together.
Just remember, the planet isn't in trouble from us, we don't have that kind of power. The planet will be here long after us little humans are gone...
There is always someone who has to complain about how they are treated. It's a job, and if you don't like it move on.
What I do find really interesting is the image Google is showing to the world. It appears Google wants their employees to fit their mold and not question. In the case of diversity, if you question for or against it doesn't matter. What matters is what Google HR is pushing. Remember: HR is there for the company, not the employee. I would be worried for Google and this image as the best talent doesn't want anyone telling them how to think. That's the whole point. Allow your employees to think big and out there.
This will hurt Google either way. Need to do some triage.
I've seen the demo of this software and it look very impressive. No this is not Snake Oil. The "patterns" of traffic once mapped a number of times, even encrypted, apparently can be detected to be a certain kind of traffic. One would need to know what the pattern would look like, or certain behaviors to make a mapping of a new pattern. So it's not really so much the "know" what's in the payload, but by seeing the same encrypted pattern of traffic they can "know" the payload. Kind of like a part of chaos theory. A certain order in the chaos.
I'm no BK fan, as I used to work for the company, but I think this is just bad timing. I would have sold about the same time also. The stock is the highest it's been since the.com bubble burst. Intel stock has been an ok dividend stock for many years now, but relatively flat.
What percentage of "income" would you like Google to pay at 52%? Does Google need to keep track of only the money generated in the Netherlands and pay tax on that? Every country in the world will want it's cut. So how do you split this up? You can't have all countries taxing their total income. Even Google would be out of business in a day.
It's not so simple as just tax them like me, an average citizen. An average citizen doesn't make money in countries all over the world. It's a complex problem. It also seems the more we try to make laws/rules to stop it, the more "creative" companies become.
Seriously, did you just relate non-corrupt with the European Union?
I do agree they have to level a huge fine for a company like Google, but it's really interesting how they just hit all the huge tech companies that have.... MONEY!!
2 years down the road company's policy changes. So I'm not breaking a promise, just changing my policy. Besides someone else was in charge of the company now. The guy who made that promise retired and has a nice appointed government job.
Funny how a government agency could be outraged if a company broke their promise. Didn't the government invent breaking promises?
This is not a surprising response from the ISPs, but really what does this article really expect? Tell me now if you will ever do any traffic prioritization!! If you're getting information from a company, or our government, you're getting the PR department which is usually there to just pull the wool over our eyes. So even if they "promised" to never ever ever do bad stuff, they can always change their mind. Who cares if they say they will or they won't right now.
Also, where did the list of official stances come from? I'm just curious who compiled it.
But this is the entire point. Apple product are about the experience. You would never see this just a few years ago, and if you did, it was fixed quickly.
This brings up questions on how Apple brings products to market. Did any of these issues get caught in testing? Were the issues classified as OK for deployment and to be fixed later? Either of these scenarios pose a major shift in the Apple thought process of their products. When paying for an expensive product, you expect a great experience.
Neatly aligning the header with a search bar is the experience. Without the experience, Apple is just overpriced. For instance I love my MacPro, because of how easy and powerful the user interface is. I used one at work and at home, and could do things I could only dream of on a Windows interface. Again, the point is the experience. Heavens knows I could buy a lot more hardware and run Windows or Linux, but I wouldn't have the same experience.
Yes, but many athists would agree there is just some things that have to be called a "sin". I support you in removal of the evil "turkey bacon".
Repent!! Repent!! Do not be deceived by "turkey bacon" any longer. Behold the one true bacon!
Microsoft is very different from IBM. Much of what was IBM, in the early days was well Machines. They developed hardware and software to run on it. Sounds a little like Apple. Mainframes and custom hardware and software, and they were good at it. High profits, and consumers who were stuck with their product.
Microsoft started the with well Software. They stepped by design or by luck into a market and made something the average user could understand, Windows. Yes they did start with DOS, but I believe Windows was the breakout, with the addition of the graphical version of Office.
Now fast forward to today: Microsoft is slowly loosing it's PC market, but there is still not a good enterprise alternative to Windows/Active Directory/Office. This is where the businesses still buy PC's and most important licensing.
Linux is very much in the backend of peoples lives in servers where it doesn't matter what OS it is, just as long as it can get to it's SQL (insert flavor) Web Server (insert flavor) and as someone else mentioned compute clustering.
So, yes they are loosing some of their "market to the common user" in some aspects, but they still have plenty to milk for a while. (didn't mention XBox, can you be more in the market?) I believe when something the market shifts in the corporate side and move the Active Directory/Windows/Office side, then look out for Microsoft's fall.
My 2 cents... ($10 adjusted by inflation)
