In that case, should there be laws requiring ATMs to not limit withdrawls based on account balances in areas in a disaster zone, or gas stations or supermarkets not allowed to turn away people for lack of payment ability?
Well, at one point in recent history, games consoles were kids things. Today? Definitely marketed toward the adult gamer. And gaming as an adult seems to have been accepted.
Lego are definitely releasing more things orientated toward the adult fan - the UCS Millennium Falcon release from 2017 for example is hugely expensive, but also isn't usable as a play set due to the difficulty accessing the interior and the fact that you have to lift it in a very specific way or things fall off...
Add to that stuff like the Expert city buildings, hyper-detailed sets like the Ninjago City sets, the upcoming Lego Movie 2 "Welcome to Apocalypseburg" set etc. Expensive. Can't see kids being allowed to play many of them!
EU261 has fairly well defined rules that airlines have to follow when determining if a delay requires compensation, but there are still a lot of grey areas in it - there are a lot of questions on the Travel StackExchange for example where people don't understand the rules.
And when weather gets involved, it gets even more messy - until recently, weather was a standard get out clause for denying compensation under EU261. If there were storms or snow fall or whatever, and airlines had to cancel flights, no one got compensation - but EU261 was updated after court cases established that weather disruption only applies to the specific flight involved, not the effects of having aircraft out of position. Several airlines lost court cases under EU261 in this regard.
There's a world of difference between the definitions certain people use for "poor" in order to rag on the "rich" and the actual *poor* who can't afford food or clothing.
In the UK, what most people seem to define as "poor" seems to include a lot of people who have large screen TVs, decent smartphones, smoke a pack a day, drink to excess etc.
Which is why I take articles such as these with a huge dose of salt.
Not really. Haven't yet found anything important to us that hasn't been ported.
Why? Because Microsoft defined.Net Standard, which means software conforming to specific versions will run on.Net Core and legacy.Net Framework. And then they made sure.Net Standard covers most of the stuff already in legacy.Net Framework, so most things just need retargetting to.Net Standard and recompiling to conform.
Dropping.Net Core because the only way up is.Net Framework? Sorry, nope,.Net Framework is considered legacy at this point - Microsoft is putting its focus on.Net Standard and.Net Core..Net Core is ahead of Framework with the 2.2 release, and will move further ahead with the.Net Standard 3 conforming release.
At this point,.Net Framework is lagging.
So in reality, people will have to drop.Net Framework and move to.Net Standard and.Net Core to move forward.
People like you need to realise that the problem you have with Microsoft is yours, not everyone else's.
Get and fork it top to bottom on GitHub with a open source standard permissive license.
Or are you still stuck in the days of "hate MS at any cost"?
I work for a company that uses.Net Core for all its software development. We dev on Macs, deploy on Linux in Docker containers, and pay Microsoft *nothing*. We are the largest travel company in the Southern Hemisphere, and we have partnerships with the largest RV manufacturers in the world.
But don't mind us, we are just proof that your beliefs are out of date.
I think many people don't realise that there is a significant number of Star Wars fans out there who don't care about the mystical Force and Jedi aspects to the universe - for us, Rogue One was amazing. It was a decent film that expanded the universe with only a touch of the magic McGuffin to detract - perfect.
I'm wondering at how wide the US is going to start casting its net on this - VISA, MasterCard not allowed to facilitate online betting anywhere in the world because they are US companies and online betting is illegal under US law?
If you think that's reaching, I suggest reading up on the case of the Danish man buying Cuban cigars from a German seller - the US confiscated the payment as it used the SWIFT network, and Cuba is under a US embargo...
Thats some interesting install scripts, if they can set up complex environments, including networks, hosts, DNS and the like... And how does your install scripts handle multiple copies of completely isolated environments, for testing purposes?
But then there are many ways to do these things - Docker is one of them. And I can remove a Docker environment in seconds (just rm -f the containers and networks - gone, as if they never existed).
I describe Docker as "an environment in a tin". You don't need to care about setting up full VMs for two bits of software that normally conflict, just run them on the same host under Docker with less overhead than full VMs. Upgrades are trivial as well.
Being able to set up complete development environments (cache, database, reverse proxies, app servers etc) on each developers box with a single command - brilliant. Each developer can develop in an environment which mimics the production environment much more closely these days, because the two environments might indeed be created using the same Docker Compose file.
Docker is brilliant.
But what it isnt, and what pretty much every experienced Docker user will tell you it isnt, is a security system.
It's all the same thing under UK law - pavements are for pedestrians, and anyone riding a bike, scooter or whatever is not a pedestrian. Allowances are made for the disabled, but even then those motorised scooters used by old people should be driven on the street and not the pavement.
Your cause is lost because your cause is based on a wrong premise - not because we have the wrong end of the stick in responding to you.
Yes, we are talking about the same thing, and yes it is illegal - although the police and council enforcement officers do have leeway in certain cases.
Children riding bikes on the pavement is also illegal, but cant be prosecuted under the age of 10 years.
I've yet to see a class action where the class agree to pony up the costs, win or lose. Until that happens, the lawyers are welcome to whatever they can get awarded imho - the class tends to be protected from the actual costs of the case, regardless of the outcome.
Nothing really good on cancer? How about going from a certain killer to simple preventative cheap vaccine in the space of 15 years? That's HPV, if you didn't know.
And what does that incident have to do with my comment? I said "the vast majority", not "all". Some pilots fucking it up in perfect weather on a manual approach doesn't negate my point at all.
Airplane manufacturers figured this out decades ago with autopilot. You have a pilot who does the hard stuff like taking off and landing, but for normal flying around at cruising altitude the plane flies itself. If the plane hits a rough patch or whatever the pilot will take over.
Uh, you do realise that the vast majority of landings at all top tier airports are automated, and automated landing systems have been around since the 1960s?
These days, a pilot can pick the taxiway they want to come off the runway at, and modern (A380, A350, 787, A320NEO et al) aircraft will intercept ILS, carry out the landing and then exit the runway at the desired taxiway (the feature is called brake-to-vacate).
Most top tier airline pilots have to do a minimum number of manual landings a year to maintain currency, which says just how often they actually do manual landings...
Pretty much the only phase of an airliners flight that isn't automated these days is the takeoff. And even then it is heavily assisted... Inflight course corrections can even be loaded into the automated pilot system from ground stations, it doesn't even need to be done in the cockpit.

There are plenty of places in the western world which don't use dedicated school busses for the school run, and they seem to work just fine....
Or were you unaware of that?
In that case, should there be laws requiring ATMs to not limit withdrawls based on account balances in areas in a disaster zone, or gas stations or supermarkets not allowed to turn away people for lack of payment ability?
Where should this responsibility end?
They don't need to justify it.
Tesla sold and shipped the hardware. They just shipped better hardware than was paid for. But they still shipped it.
It's now the buyers hardware, they can do with it whatever they want, so long as they stay within the law
So no, they don't need to justify wanting a "freebie", Tesla already gave them it.
What people like you are doing however is attempting to justify why people can't do stuff with the hardware they undeniably own.

Constricted? Sure.
Is it a problem?
Not really. Haven't yet found anything important to us that hasn't been ported.

Qualcomm wanted 1.5% of an iPhone Xr ($499).
Which Apple deems to be too much.
But Apple will happily take 15% from a app sale without any negotiation...
Uh, that's not what freedom of movement means in the context of the EU, not at all.
Nope, it isn't.
Firstly, Europe is not a single entity.
Secondly, even the European Union, which is a large subset of Europe, doesn't have standardised employment law.
Thirdly, none of the the three European countries I have worked in has worked that way for non-competes.
Continually running a compressor which has to operate at least at the same rate as the thruster means a *serious* power source.
And if it's a Tesla, that power source means a battery.
The drain on that battery is going to be immense - several orders of magnitude beyond current Tesla abilities.

Nope, completely illegal in the UK.
