Its not exactly as if progress is new - 150 years ago, a farms harvest used to take hundreds of workers days to accomplish, and those workers went from farm to farm doing harvests in a few short weeks. Millions of workers working across a country. Now, a couple dozen people using machinery do the same work - the social model has already collapsed, many times over, and we have never had a revolt before.
The introduction of weaving machines, spinning jennies etc took the jobs of millions of home workers and replaced them with dozens of factory workers - but that resulted in cheap, quality clothing (have you ever actually worn woolen underwear? Its not nice - but it was all you had until the advent of cheap cotton) and the world moved on.
Thousands of people used to work at a quarry face with hand tools, bringing a few hundred tonnes of product out of the quarry a day. Navvies used to be required in their thousands to dig railway cuttings and embankments. Steam shovels were invented and the jobs disappeared.
Highlight replies, retweets and likes that occur before any edit, so its obvious to observers without any interaction required that the reply, retweet or like was for a version other than the "All Jews must die!" a tweet was later edited to.
If an edit is substantial or (and here is one for all you machine learning junkies out there) changes the context of the tweet ("I like kittens" becomes "the Jews deserved the holocaust"), then perhaps also notify anyone who has interacted with that tweet by means of reply, retweet or like so they can review the edit and ensure they havent been misled.
The Five Eyes isn't an obvious attempt at cleaning house, while everything Erdogan has done since the coup is a very obvious attempt at clearing the deck of his political adversaries. Don't expect elections in Turkeys near future.
Please demonstrate where I mentioned "antitrust law"...
Why can't we have a discussion on abuse of position without twats like you snarking in and saying "it has nothing to do with antitrust, so Apple is fine".
Abuse of position and anti-competitive behaviour DOES NOT require violation of antitrust law. Apple doing this is wrong, and something should be done about it.
In the UK there is an awful lot of free training you can get to get you back into employment, and you can go from unskilled to skilled in various areas without paying a penny for the training.
You cant get a free house in the UK just because you are unemployed. I am a white male over the age of majority, I won't ever get housed by the government unless I get seriously ill or get very old. If I were made unemployed tomorrow and lost my home, the council will tell me to go away - my only recourse for a bed would be a charity.
To get housed you have to have a vulnerability factor - in most cases, females without kids won't get council housing either. A child under 18 would get you emergency accommodation, as would a serious illness of some description.
The point is, we look after our vulnerable members of society. If you aren't vulnerable, you don't get anything.
Its not out of the question that the coup attempt was manufactured just so Erdogan could clamp down as he has - blaming an elderly exiled cleric in the US, arresting thousands of teachers and university professors, doctors, police etc. Invading Syria (that one hasnt made the news much - Turkey currently has a significant amount of armoured fighting vehicles and troops hundreds of miles within Syria right now). Increased action against the Kurds.
I'm not entirely convinced there was ever an opposition capable of initiating a coup, certainly not one which has tendrils the length of which Erdogan is suggestimg with his detentions...
As other posters note, the difference here is that the rightful owner of the stolen property was given ample chance to claim it after it was recovered - NASA did not claim it in the time period allowed for in law, so the police force that recovered it could rightfully dispose of it in any way they wish, which they did at auction. Once that claim period expired, it ceased to be stolen property and became unclaimed property - the buyer was not buying stolen goods.
The Judge didn't refer to the legal precedent in the 1988 case, he merely referred to the 1988 case and then *disagreed* with the precedent set down in that case by saying he saw no distinction between identifying a key or identifying a combination - the combination he refers to is the combination of the safe in the 1988 case, not the passcode to the iPhone. He then equates the passcode to the combination.
Legal precedent can be overturned, its not set in stone forever more, and thats what this Judge is trying to do here - overturn the precedent in the 1988 case by saying there is no longer a distinction between the physical key and the ephemeral combination.
My wife is a doctor here in the UK, and she's had several of these cases, including one who won the jackpot (£3Million) and blew it in a year - he's back on state aid and has developed severe depression. Thats the worst one, but she has had other large winners who have spent it all in a short time and ended up with nothing at the end.
You can buy filament which you bake after printing, which makes it much stronger - add to that the composite filaments you can now get, and you can print some pretty strong components.
Many many users are reporting that Chrome doesnt show the on screen keyboard when focus is given to inputs, you have to manually open the keyboard. Been this way for a dozen or so major versions.
In the UK under UK consumer law, Amazon is responsible for all of these items, whether or not they are sold and fulfilled by Amazon or a third party - Amazon handle the sale and payment, so Amazon are the ones responsible for the sale. This is different to Ebay as Ebay do not handle the payment and you would find it very hard to buy from Ebay themselves.
Its long been known that Bootcamp is a least effort delivery, being that the power management is abysmal and the heat management is abysmal (fans on a lot more aggressive strategies than on OSX).
In my mind, the difference is that Nixons pardon was never legally challenged by Congress or any other body - there is no way to say that Nixons parson would or would not have stood up to legal scrutiny. You can bet your perky little ass that any pardon issued to Snowdon would definitely be challenged.
With that in mind, it could easily be the case that the legal and political landscape supporting the validity of such pardons has changed in the intervening years - Congress may simply ignore the pardon and require Snowden to testify infront of it, holding him in contempt of Congress if he refuses or if he violates any contrived reason...
Just because you haven't heard of it, nor heard about the reasons surrounding it, doesn't mean it isn't bigger than your perception.
Put it this way - if it were a sport, its more like soccer, which is watched the world over, than it is like American Football, which is hardly watched outside the US...
There was a discussion about this several months back, and the conclusion is exactly as you suggest - theres little to no binge factor with these style of programs, so Amazon gets more PR value from releasing them weekly than all at once. So thats the model chosen for TGT.
As for the show itself, while it certainly is going to take a few episodes to adjust to the its-not-Top-Gear-no-its-really-not new feel, there was nothing in this first episode which really jarred or felt... uncomfortable. They had some obvious "this is intended to be stupid" moments, and some "lets take the wee out of the last season (Evans) of Top Gear obviously stupid" moments (I don't think that the mind test segment will return, it was just a McGuffin to take the wee out of some of the abysmal changes in TG post-Clarkson).
Over all, definitely looking to the next episode. This does seem to have what it takes to be a success from the moment it hit the ground.

So why is this worth new outrage?

And if this isn't abuse of Apples position, demonstrating exactly why Apples walled garden should be illegal, what is?
And no, I don't care that Apple doesnt have "a monopoly", this is anti-competitive and Apple shouldn't be allowed to do it
Again, I won't ever qualify for housing benefit as a fit white male over the age of majority, not unless I get seriously ill or very old.
So no, you don't get free housing, just for being unemployed.

The EU doesnt want to let Turkey in, hence the pause in the process announced a few weeks ago...

The $20Billion the FCC sold the spectrum for sort of made that decision...

Its much better managed in OSX though...

I had a Peugeot 207 "m:play" which was advertised as multimedia ready - that solely consisted of having a 3.5mm jack in the glove box. Thats it.

The UN recognises 193 member states, 2 observer states and 11 non-member states. Which adds up to 206 states recognised by the UN.
