So the dems want to sic their buddies in The Bureau, who won't prosecute them for the blatantly illegal shit they pulled, to now go after their political enemies based on unsubstantiated accusations...
Because "climate change" is too broad and nebulous a term. And the people looking for grant money LIKE it that way. You can basically wrangle ANY sort of phenomenon in Earth's atmosphere into some definition of "climate change". Basically there is no bottom to this well.
Also, climate change is a NATURAL process. Earth's climate has been changing since basically FOREVER.
Now, can we stop "man made climate change/global warming"?
Maybe. If we sequester enough carbon out of the atmosphere. It may make a difference.
Can we stop "man made climate change" PERIOD? No. Because anything we do is going to cause the climate to "change" in some way.
while on the subject, what's with the 120Hz refresh rate? The human eye can detect up to around 30fps. Isn't 120Hz an overkill? Or maybe I'm confusing two different things.
Actually the human eye can detect differences in refresh rate well above 30fps. And wide variances in FPS (zooming from 30 to 90 and back down) causes its own sort of motion artifacting.
This is what you get for playing in the walled garden.
If the garden's owner decides you're done, poof, you're standing at the gate and they're telling you to fuck off and go away.
It can be for any reason or no reason.
Of COURSE Apple has their reasons. But do you expect them to truly be HONEST about it? Basically two scenarios here.
First, Apple's decided they dislike the tech/functionality this app is using/exposing. So they're killing it with fire as an unsubtle message to other app devs to Do Not Do This.
Second, Apple's decided they like the tech/functionality this app is using/exposing. So they're killing it with fire so that, down the road, they can create an app of their own, with similar functionality and claim to have invented it.
Either way, Apple fuck-yous an independent developer.

Honestly? Other than the "Unlimited Google Photos" thing, there isn't anything there which I really give a crap about or would likely use.
So, if they want to pollute Android with this extra shit, that's their problem. I won't miss it at all.
If you blow out the sandbox it's running in, you still lose all your browser data, and are now stuck without a browser unless you reload the OS or have already downloaded alternate browsers, which DON'T run sandboxed.

The Democrats need to buy me a new monitor and keyboard first.
I caught wind of this article as I was drinking a soda...

Idiots.
Never.
Hi! We're selling citizenship to Sealan...err...Asgardia! Our own made-up nation that, at the earliest opportunity, will join the UN!
Holy shitcakes Batman! The Bat-Bullshit detector just disappeared up it's own asshole!
Most of them are now in politics and academia.
Seriously. You can replicate your Yahoo mail structure locally with an IMAP connection. Then push the mail wherever you need it.
Granted, for people on low-speed connections this could be unfeasible. But still.
It's so simple really:
"WHITE MEN ARE EVIL! BURN ALL THEM MOTHERFUCKERS DOWN!" = free speech
Actually, yes it is.
Now, is it a PROTECTED form of free speech?
And this guy's living proof...
Shkreli is probably his backer.
They just had an "art" expo over the weekend.
The way I see it, if Milo is the "face" of the deal, he's more publicly acceptable than the widely hated Shkreli.
Whereas if Shkreli bought it up-front, it'd probably tank immediately as people fled his obnoxious presence.
Seriously, the advertising industry wonders why we hate ads and ad delivery platforms so much.
Because of shit like this.

On its surface, the IoT sounds like a neat idea.
Unfortunately, in implementation, it's a raging clusterfuck.
Basically, just because you can connect ANYTHING to a network doesn't mean you SHOULD.
Let me just cough up $24,000...

The only people this benefits is people out in the boonies with no other choices but dialup, which is also AT&T.
Everyone who actually has a choice runs, screaming, from AT&T and their world-class crappy service.

Why are you giving this worthless piece of shit the time of day?
Stupid, useless one-not products like this are an absolute waste of time, development hours and money.
Then everyone can exit the site for the exciting new 4.1chan.
If you actually go shopping, you'll usually find that the same sized packages cost the same amount.
Whether buying regular Oreos, Double Stuff, Double Triples, whatever. You just wind up with fewer individual cookies per-pack.
So. What does this teach us?
That, you get a set commodity at a set price REGARDLESS of how you use it.
If you blow out the sandbox it's running in, you still lose all your browser data, and are now stuck without a browser unless you reload the OS or have already downloaded alternate browsers, which DON'T run sandboxed.
Good fuckin' going!
It's not that the subsidy failed.
It's that the current regulatory environment forced on it by NIMBYism and the "Nookyouler = BOMZ!" crowd is a nightmare.
The internet?
Hell, welcome to the majority!
