Basically musks big gamble is that USA should go full blown on emissions based taxing. Musk has now what.. 6 billion dollars riding on it?
to put some perspective. Maserati Ghibli S is about on par with tesla cheapeast model s in USA. In Places like finland or norway or whatever.. the Maserati Ghibli S is 50 000 EUROS MORE EXPENSIVE. Musks wet dream was for the same kind of car taxing to happen in USA and for the silly shit of classifying pt cruisers as trucks and all that to end.
if you go for the 130 000 euro teslas.. then the "competition" gets car taxes that are to tune of 100k(being 100k more expensive than the 130k tesla.. (of course, the "competition" can drive from south of finland to lapland in a day, so theres that..).
that's what Musk was riding on with Tesla. if that happened, he could raise the price of teslas maybe the critical 10% and still be kind of a good deal...also at the same though, all the other car manufacturers do have electrics ready to roll out once it makes profit to sell them at prices people buy them. this kind of matters because tesla has no technology that other car manufacturers didn't have.
where is your information from? did MS seriously confirm this or is this just logical wishing?
seriously curious, because everything else ms has been doing with their stuff lately would point to UWP FROM THE FUCKING STORE ONLY AND NO WIN32 LEGACY ACCESS.
win32 arm would be sort of interesting, but ms has done NOTHING OF THE SORT FOR THE PAST 7(about) YEARS NOW.
but sure you're not using it as a laptop simply because it sucks balls as a laptop even with the keyboard cover.
thats the real point. not that it doesn't come with the keyboard. its that it doesn't have a laptop accessory that would make it usable for typing on a keyboard on your lap.
it's a pc tablet.. but the guy making the promo wants to call it a laptop, probably in his bracket it's a laptop because it has pc compatible components.
though, marketing wise, he wants to call it a laptop to underline that it is for real work that real men do, not a consumption tablet - even if normal laptops would be fine for typing(working) in a train or bus or whatever - because seriously osk sucks for coding big time.
mind you, a large portion of people you see around you would be just fine off with a tablet, a screen without a keyboard on a hinge - the surface type cover doesn't convert the surface itself into a true laptop either as I pointed out... because you really can't prop up the screen on your lap. heck you cannot even prop up the thing on a typical train or airplane seat table (because you need like 35cm flat surface due to the prop on the screen and the way the keyboard hinges).
Someone who wanted an audio subsystem capable of meeting the user requirements of people in the 2000s instead of people in the 80s. It's quite telling that every distribution adopted it despite your assertion that it's "trash".
why not.. like.. umm.. late 90's? you know, when it it just worked.
*journalctl wasn't made to save all messages. This is your misunderstanding.* I think the gist of this conversation is systemd wankers just replying and saying something wasnt meant to save/show them and the new way is better - without actually TELLING HOW THE FUCK TO SEE THE ERROR MESSAGES WITH SYSTEMD.
if something wasn't made for seeing, then maybe tell us/them what the fuck it is that is supposed to show the error messages - if not then the point still stands that it drops error messages for no good reason and that if something is wrong then you're just fucked and yeah thats pretty much it, since systemd wankers will tell you that this is the wrong tool to look for such and that their superior logging system is superior since it's indexed and in memory - just tell how the fuck to see those log messages that are indexed and buffered in memory then because sure as fuck they are not helping anyone in-memory.
I applaud them. hopefully it doesn't include anything silly like gfvfs either by default.
So law enforcement is looking to identify a specific person. Law enforcement only has a picture of the person the are looking for. They take the picture the DMV for help. The DMV takes the picture and runs it through facial recognition software to see if they can match the picture to anyone in it's database. How does this process harm anyone? The DMV already has your drivers license with your picture on it and is also considered a public record. If law enforcement only has the target picture and no other identifying information. How does this process harm anyone or violate anyone's rights?
it might stop people from getting a drivers license.
but how it harms peoples rights is that THEY GOT A FUCKING LAW THAT EXPLICITLY SAYS THAT THEY HAVE A RIGHT THAT THE DMV DATABASE IS NOT USED FOR THIS! for whatever reason they made that law and MADE IT A FUCKING RIGHT AND THE DMV AND FEDS JUST PISSED OVER THAT LAW.
and how it harms people is false positives. the more you put faces into the system the more it starts producing false positives(a true fact with automatic facial matching) - now if the operators are too stupid to understand possibility of false positives then they will order a swat strike even if the suspect could not have been anywhere near the crimes alleged. if they are stupid enough to break the law to make such a search they might be stupid enough to use it like that. furthermore just having that option in the database for facial recognition opens the system for abuse by dmv workers(look a face on facebook, get details) and so on - they explicitly made a law to not have such capabilities and then they just went on and did it anyways.
I don't think you quite understand how the IRS works...
not that it has anything to do with if someone outside of USA paid into some business of Trumps - that has quite literally nothing to do with anything.
now the problem
I'm not american so what the fuck do I care but come on... trump is already playing childish semantics defence games insisting there is a difference in him expressing a wish to someone he later fires(for totally different reasons than not complying with his wish) vs. ordering him to do something outright. there really isn't.
now, maybe him dealing with russia ends up being good for usa but whatever, he sure as f has no idea about the rules. also for some reason he seems to think that russia matters at fucking all - like he is stuck in 1980 or something and doesn't really understand how small russias economy is - but he is very much stuck in the '80s.
The problem is that the voicemail is held on the operators end, not on your phone, so theres not you approving it. which is how the whole leaving you voicemail without ever calling you works anyways so it's unlikely there would be some filter if it were to go through.
older smartphones had apps for on-device voicemail though, not sure if current apis allow easily for that.
you could just turn off the voicemail and never use it like most people tbh.
the operator may sue the manufacturer, but you should sue whoever you bought the service from(doctor/hospital).
look, it's pretty much the same already now if you go get your eyes lasered and messed around with - the machine does 100% of the actual operation and the doctor is there just to press stop. but it's still his fault if something is fucked up.
it's not a bad language and the vm's arent that bad...a lot of the stuff people make with it is bad though. a lot of the frameworks and stuff people use it is pretty bad though...like, needing 10 lines of code to interface something that goes into kilobytes of something to CALL A METHOD YOU COULD JUST HAVE CALLED DIRECTLY YOURSELF.
doesn't really help that experts recommend using libraries and frameworks when they are completely unnecessary(usually written by them - googles android division does this one quite a lot.. so much they can't even explain why themselves or why you should use their way instead).
also, bollocks of bollocks of more stuff to make things "easier", like plugging in an event system to call a method when you could just call the method directly. here's a hint: you shouldn't use reflection as basis of how your programs logic is going to run - it's just STUPID.
500 years from now, pre-2000 will be referred as the dark ages and post 2010 they have 10000x per year more pictures, news stories, personal posts and what have you than from years earlier.
if vint doesn't see this then.. well, maybe he should stop listening shitty futurologists and start looking at some historians.
basically... 500 years from now.. how many pictures of the eiffel tower in year 2010 do you think they will have access to? 10? 20? 30? or 1000 per day? either way, a hell of a lot more than from 1910. in color. in reasonable quality.
they will know what people wore. they will know what people listened. they will have the speeches recorded that both put people INTO THE FUCKING MOON and they have access to speeches about how there's a really great hot dog place in new york.
maybe this sounds pompous but really it's not - we just lived through the breakthrough into the computer era and in the past century the breakthrough to worldwide media - this is a once in the history of the world kind of an event that is such a watershed moment in perspective of HISTORY that he shouldn't be that much worried about people in the future knowing what happened here now - there's more books published than ever as well, in smaller quantities per printing - photobooks included.
also the way things have been going you now have BETTER access to 1995 data than you had in 2000. you now have much easier time running software from 1981 than you had in 2000 as well. he should be able to see that curve, but apparently has spent too much time with futurologists(who are ALL a bunch of fucking idiots and wankers and I still can't believe people give them money for giving shit predictions and being just generally full of shit and out of touch).
US is routinely acting as an order by phone hitman for various governments, where there has been no attempt to arrest and prosecute the target before flaming them up with a hellfire missile without a trial, in areas and countries that are not deemed to be warzones(as far as refugee statuses go at least).
Majority of the targets are labeled as terrorists(anyone opposing the local authority who has the phone line to USA is an terrorist, mind you) and USA has no way of verifying any of that - indeed majority of the targets are in fact just local tribe leaders(some of them bad, objectively) and the bombings are just acting as a scapegoat hitman in local politics of the region - and if some of those local tribes then consider them to be in war with USA, who can blame them?
compared to that, them having a secret warrant for his arrest sounds downright civilized.
look all they want is schematics and lists of test points.
if you had been paying attention apple has now been actively working with their products against that.
the only one with diagnostics sw as well for example for modern apples is apple themselves AND APPLE DOESN'T FIX BOARDS so they don't really do anything with them. funny ?
look, why believe nvidia now when they have been bullshitting about it in the past so long? they were selling for a long time exact same chips with an out of chip resistor deciding if it would accept the pro opengl drivers or not. just a flip switch. nothing more. meaning pretty much for a long time that if you bought a quadro you were a sucker. still are. so give him some slack.
ati has been doing exact same though, so there's that.
and you don't really need an output port on the card doing the accelerating now... nvidia knows all about the premium tax it can put on the pro stuff. it's just a calculated shenigans to get more money out of the same chips.
They claim to be solvent. how the fuck is a company that is not paying its obligations is solvent? is the company saying that it is not indebted to the people they were supposed to be paying already? in that case, the contractors are fucked. and should get the company bankrupted.
if the company was actually doing it's service for free(taking no extra fee for providing the service, mind you) then it would be pretty probable that someone, the new owners perhaps, took out the money they were supposed to be paying onwards. and why would anyone run a business like that? well, to sell the business - easy to make lots of in/out money for the business that looks good on paper(To an idiot) if you don't actually make any profit except interest rates perhaps for holding the money for a month or whatever.
If I had to wager though, what happened is that they blew contract renewal with their IT contractor and they are unable to know who they are supposed to pay and what.
Slashdot Mirror
they had access to the key db of jeep(chrysler?).
and well, they had to have the range to drive all the way to mexico without phoning home.

well, very happy, depending on how much per view they have to pay the content creators/owners/rentseekers and for transmit.
thats what it boils down to. for netflix produced content it doesn't matter that much, as long as it's getting viewed.

..you only need an apple account that you can make on the fly when activating it.
most of the world thats how it works anyways. people don't have cc's so what the fuck.
The problem is that the voicemail is held on the operators end, not on your phone, so theres not you approving it. which is how the whole leaving you voicemail without ever calling you works anyways so it's unlikely there would be some filter if it were to go through.

you could just turn off the voicemail and never use it like most people tbh.
well trump would argue that it's the thought that counts ;).
coincidentally, trump didn't ask the fbi boss to drop the investigation to russia ties, he merely expressed hope that he could drop it without hassle.
so yeah, do the actual words matter or the thought?
(of course colbert should be able to say a blurred cock on his show).

look. 13 years of loss. 50 bn market cap.
that is the zenith of overvalued.
at least musk is admitting that it's overvalued and making a loss :D. unlike his last years book shenigans.
that you shouldn't be able to fix something you found either or something that was given to you.
they don't care if you don't buy a new iphone. they care that YOU DO NOT FIX your friends iphone so he has to buy a new one.
btw want to know what apple is going to do with next iphone? just epoxy the whole fucking thing and call it thermal management.
you just keep wishing that they do that.
apple doesn't care. they don't care about pro.
..the article is stupid. the author is stupid.
who the fuck is going to pay for the upfront battery costs of running 12h stints in the middle of the winter in a poor country?
look, maybe in some 1 or 2 counties in california - but not in the world. that guy needs to get out more and check out the world.
at that rate, it would pay back the investment in like.. 15 years?
also that could just be messing with the books.
the thing is, for some reason. running their servers and staff is so fucking expensive it doesn't make any goddamn sense(and never made).
their previous corporate culture was to burn all investor money and well.. if they are returning to that.. gawds.
look, why believe nvidia now when they have been bullshitting about it in the past so long? they were selling for a long time exact same chips with an out of chip resistor deciding if it would accept the pro opengl drivers or not. just a flip switch. nothing more. meaning pretty much for a long time that if you bought a quadro you were a sucker. still are. so give him some slack.
