This raises other questions though: What if you buy one of those Tesla home batteries, go off the grid, and instead of buying solar panels and/or supplementing your usage from the grid, you buy an old junky but running Tesla to go back and forth to charge your home? Of course assumes you have a charging station around the corner to make it convenient.
BTW, the bit mining scenario non-feasibility assumes a new model S, whereas the better scenario is a really old model to make the numbers crunch.
..they could just completely block Zero Tier unless you pay for "premium" internet access. Zero Tier is not the solution to net neutrality, it is its potential victim.
There is a theory, scientifically well regarded, albeit contested and controversial, that autism is just the extreme case of maleness. Men are less interested in people and more interested in things. Same diagnosis as being autistic. Personally I think there might be something to this. Half of men are probably bordering on autistic behavior. They wouldn't be diagnosed with it, but their thinking is close.
Damore did a "diversity" course and Google asked the participants for their thoughts and feedback. Damore did so. His memo is 100% correct in as much as it accurately reflects his beliefs, and furthermore is considered to be nearly 100% factually correct by many scientists in mainstream psychology. This is as good as it ever gets when writing a memo. Well done Damore.
That the radical "inclusion" philosophy ends up making everyone feel uncomfortable and excluding people more towards the autistic end (which is more people than I think most people understand.) is highly ironic.
However I would say to Damore that his paper was very carefully worded, but there is no amount of careful wording that will satisfy the radical leftist bubble. He engaged in wrongthink, and there is no escaping from that.
Sure it's inaccurate, but the aim is to err on the side of safety. As a choice between letting in a terrorist in the name of "accuracy" or kicking out an innocent, we need to kick out the innocent.
Linux as a 3rd desktop platform has failed, and Wine as a workaround was never very good or a feasible prime desktop flavour.
The only way forward ought to be to make a clone of OS-X. It's already Unix based so there's that head start. And the interface is better overall, and a better fit for Linux. If you could make native OS-X apps run, then you'd be way ahead of the game.
And the Gnome/KDE wars (still can't believe this divide still exists), never served anybody. If one of them could be killed, even that would be a major step forward. For normal users, excessive choice actually isn't really a good thing.
" if you lock up your bike with a decent lock, a thief probably isn't going to walk off with it."
Actually, bike locks are often better than the ones that protect your home. I don't even know if a locksmith can get into a good one, you'd probably have to cut it off.
On the other hand, typical home locks really are crap. I watched a couple of YouTube videos and was able to bypass them.
Bike locks can't be opened by the pros. Home locks can be opened by every man and his dog who wants to have a go.
How come the second somebody suggests that maybe men and women are different, clowns like you rewrite the narrative as "women are inferior". And yet there are more women than men in veterinary science, medicine, and these days I also think law. Does that mean men are "inferior"?? People like you are not at war with Damore, you are at war with reality itself.
What you're saying is true, but if you make the workplace female friendly, men are very uncomfortable and don't work at their best. When you bring women in, if you are too competitive you are labelled a bully, if not competitive enough you're a wimp. Men have real problems coping with these mixed environments. Men like to work the dominance hierarchy with highly competitive structures, women don't.
What "experts in the fields"? I've never seen a study on how the average woman can be an engineer. In fact the average human is a bad engineer. It's only the elite who are engineers in the first place. So who is this supposed expert?
That's a terrible article in the Economist, badly reasoned from start to finish. The main problem with it though is that it concedes the actual point which is there may be differences between men and women leading to the current situation without actually dealing with what we should do about that. In other words, yet again it's completely slanted in favour of the view that every gender difference is oppression and discrimination without figuring out what we should do about the possibility that some or even all of it MIGHT not be oppression. That's where all these virtue signalling leftists views fall down. They can only contemplate "what if oppression", and can't even come to the table to consider "what if natural, then what?".
When HR asks for your honest opinion about an "inclusivity" workshop, and you do it carefully, and respectfully, that is somehow harassment or hostile? WTF?
Refusing to play the ball is not a free speech issue. Neither is refusing to stand when you are supposed to. And it's not collusion when everyone simultaneously comes to the same conclusion.
Engineer? He has a degree in biology. Also, you can betcha an engineer will research his topic before diving in, unlike the CEO type, who will certainly rush in with a virtue signalling opinion rather than science.

How long before this is trolled into oblivion?
How long before people sue Facebook for false positives and violating their privacy?

Can someone write an app that fiddles with the picture header to activate it?
Actually, I suspect this is tied to the dual lens setup which gives the phone perspective on your face. Of course the iphone 7 also has dual lens.
I'm not seeing this put into all Macs just because it would add to the cost. It makes a difference on a $1000 computer.

Surely we wouldn't want to censor the cry for help that could save their life? This serial killer thing is a one off.

If you don't connect it to the internet, it's not a smart TV anymore. So your choice, did you want a smart TV or not?
So... what is ChromeOS counted as? Is it in the 1.5% "other" or somewhere else?
Actually, tons of people are building coal plants. The Chinese are planning 700 more coal plants:

Ahh, but you feel the need to keep an SUV. That's the problem. You could dump the Tesla and just have the SUV.
