isn't it quite obvious that a web page can communicate with a browser extension though? like really fucking obvious? further than that you could just make the extension exploit the computer directly as long as you're coding it...
..ideal time? lots of money rolling in? solved all problems?
yet the ceo is saying that there are hard times ahead and cuts to costs absolutely have to be done with no other choice.
thing is, he is hoping he can get higher margin in europe from the cars(the price difference being much higher in many countries there towards favoring electric vehicles than in USA due to emissions based taxing).
basically normal cars are so cheaply taxed in usa it's a wonder anyone is buying teslas, frankly.
but say, take a typical car that costs 60k in usa and a 60k tesla - in europe in many countries you're looking at paying 100k for that 60k in usa car while the 60k tesla is still 60k.....and speaking of traditional manufacturers they got lines ready to roll as soon as there's demand and the pricepoint is right.
besides if some dude just asked you for that for scientific research, I guess you would just give it, most people would.
then the research synopsis would be published on some for pay science paper, while the actual research had been sponsored by someone like facebook anyways.
Like, come on, you can't just frame _everything_ as a _threat_ like the blurb. of course then there's the faction who thinks any photos of them are a threat to their personal being.
from the writeup I would have thought it was because people were using it to PROMOTE THEMSELVES FOR GETTING MONEY purely by fluffing up shit(and providing shit all nothing content).
instead it's of some guy writing boobies, doing the exact opposite of that? fuck this shit.
corporation means it's corporated and can face fines and shit, even dissolution. usual reason would be running a cartel in the nordic countries(probably most usual). second would be some environmental crimes.
however, I'm not sure here of the motives. was the idea to suck up a higher percentage of the norwegian riaa equivalents radioplay etc fund?
analog audio out isn't in the spec as such. some devices have it through the port.
analog audio port like 3.5mm works just fine and works everytime and doesn't need a dongle to carry around or separate charger.
it's quite baffling how they didn't just make it digital and use the existing usb spec for the audio out.. I mean, it works on (many) microusb phones that do support otg usb. it's an atrocious spec. a new port reversible port spec would have been fine. preferably one that would have worked with microusb cables too.
the medical stuff is on a different network and has almost nothing to do with this. a bunch of kids could not have died from the actions and it would also be criminal to run the network so that it could have.
however. do you think that was more serious than someone coming to your house, hitting your kid with a hammer and causing life lasting brain injury after 1 year in this hospital?
because that's what the judge is saying, that the website is more serious.
the elderly will also do whatever the post tells them to do.
it's a trust thing. because some older associate of them did the same. if it includes something like "a friend lawyer told me to copy paste this" to make some authority. but it's not a friend lawyer of the guy who copy pasted it, but the other elderly seeing that text will think it is, thus it has to be legit because here's this straight up guy they have known 30 years posting that his lawyer told him to share this.
and they will not google/research/apply critical thinking at all. just get outraged and copypaste the thing.
like a typical elderly share includes a "copy to your wall, do not use share".. so it's not the same original fake story, it's copypasted text of the original so it's not so easy for fb to mark them as fake news either with a link to the claimed source explaining how channel 13 never ran this story and how it's all a hoax.
like the "copy this to your wall or facebook will publish all your private data due to privacy change!" thing has been making rounds _again_ just this week.
..so why the fuck this needs a thin patty? in that kind of burger you can just have any fried cardboard there. thats why it's a popular late night snack choice.
I mean this blurb makes it sound like it's worse than previous. so was the previous actually pretty fucking bad?
The worthwhile upgrades will be on another socket and chipset anyways. It will be interesting for like the 2nd or 3rd potato gamer owner down the line though.
Also - laptops have had tried to have standards for upgrading gpu for like 16 years now with little success - availability of an upgrade when you would want it is very unlikely.
It does offer more cpu options though. But that's about it. who cares? there's several laptops now with 2080 if you want that.
look, companies have started just calling normal database automatic data processing programs as AI. like, it's so bad it has gone down to calling tiller databases ai. it's stupid.
you make a script to notify you that the disk is going to be full soon? congratulations you're now an AI developer in 2019.
And the fucking media is gobbling it up. Anyhow, 99% of the rise of "AI".
I mean, fuck, it's gone to the point where excel sheets are essentially said to be "AI" now. An access database from 1998 would be "deep learning".
like the fuck.. anyhow, there have been actual advantages in image/shape matching. but even then, if they really had that down _pat_ then tell me this: Why the fuck can't I have automatic OCR text translation for Thai writing? like, surely you could just automate the "ai" learning for it with a bunch of fonts? surely? if you can teach an "ai" to try enough combinations to win go and guess which trees to follow, can't you just make something with at least some commercial appeal and make it read thai?
This is actually should cause for them to fail the android certification.
like come on fuckers. You can't just block stuff like this for funzies. If you don't like it, lobby for it to be removed from the play store or something. Like the fuck, you're going to just ban all apps that you don't like? food delivery network didn't make a deal with you so you're going to ban their app from your phones too?
furthermore. you think people will buy the tv and your pushed streaming services more for doing this? fat fucking chance.
practically all newspapers publish photos on ads if you pay them money for doing it.
they might not publish a full color ad for "YO! I WANT SOME GAY SEX!" though - well, maybe a magazine for gay men looking for gay men would do that.
because hey. that's what the app is about anyways.
look, there's a lot of product liability that tech companies should have, like patching flaws in the software. those are product flaws, they should be fixed.
or when companies just decide to willy nilly _change_ the product without asking the guy who bought it 6 months prior.
this is not however a product liability thing in any way or form in the way that it is presented. besides, what does he expect them to do? stop posting gay sex offers? I mean that's apparently what he wants them to do. or just buckets of money. do you know how easy it would be to extract money with faked fake personals from facebook, grinder, tinder and whatever if that were the case?
musk and whole of tesla depends on next years numbers... anyways, the problem for him was that for 10 years he managed to keep the money rolling in with the tweets.
that is literally what he thinks that kept the investment money rolling in. you can even trace old popular mechanics ideas touted as new ideas on his tweets to tesla needing cash.
so he thinks thats whats normal, and that it isn't a piss poor idea to have an official company outlet for (stock)news be his twitter account. for various reasons, one of which is that twitter could just ban it for funzies or delete a tweet or two for funzies and thats pretty bad from investor liability viewpoint. you should control your official information.
well nope, not until traditional msm media dies off and media becomes actual talent based. but that would need readers to remember more than 5 years so I'm not holding my breath.
about plastic, what itches me in reporting about it is all the talk about asia and not recycling. They do recycle a fuckton of it! probably more than western countries. why? western countries can't afford people to go through trash cans sorting out plastic - whereas countries like thailand, china, vietnam etc all have that.
the real problem is that the io latency/bandwidth/determinability sucks.
that's why the atmels were/are so popular for 3d printers, cnc machines and lots of other things.
the raspberry had a niche market and it found it quite well though, however programmability etc whatever is not what drove that niche market, even if it works for marketing, as you could do all of the same programming and whatever on pretty much any sbc.
except that some sbc's like beaglebone black etc are hell of a better choice for some(most) hw tinkering. raspberry ends up quite often used just as a button or tcp/ip interface to some logic lines.. not as a motor driver or whatever - and if it's used for that it's common to have a bunch of other micros thrown in..
really the io pins are easy enough to use but they are in essence worse than having an lpt port on a computer for a lot of fun uses.
also. well. realtime would be nice. without a hassle.
that's the joke. the guy is so out of it and doesn't understand what goes into a mobile phone.
"Apple tech", well, you could at least specify what technology is there that's unique to Apple then. How do you steal something you're selling and licensing? like an arm soc - arm holdings licenses it, chinese pay for license and put it on a cheapo chip they put on a phone - where in that scenario is there anything stolen off apple?
you see, the sc3 ip was based on sc2 IP and was time limit licensed to accolade/atari. it had an extension possibility, but even that passed like 15 years ago.
Point being they DO NOT HAVE the rights to even sell copies of star control 3.
so they do not own sc3 ip, they own the parts of it that accolade made, which can't be sold without a license from tfb guys. and that such licenses existed should quite clearly explain/prove that stardock didn't buy(or even think they bought, main point!) the rights they now say they have.
stardocks actions are puzzling in the sense that they could bankrupt the company for no benefit at all. like, even if they won they would be ruined in the fan community for claiming urquan wars as theirs when it quite clearly isn't.
they knew they didn't buy the rights to the alien designs etc all of the content. thats why they tried to license it from toys for bob guys who actually made the stuff.
then they tried to just approriate all of it despite that once the license negotiations came to halt and wanted to add the legacy ships into the game etc. it was really bizarre business move that could only end up in failure as there was precedent that the guys who they bought the name from had to previously license the stuff from the tfb guys - and indeed if they owned it the whole free open source urquan wars star control 2 port/project wouldn't even have been possible!
(basically tfb guys own the rights to the pkunk etc and the story and graphics and all of that and accolade licensed that from them for sc3, this is also how urquan wars is possible to be free).
And yes if stardock wins then the urquan wars becomes illegal/dead project. the whole thing is also why it doesn't have the star control 2 name because that belongs to stardock now(and previous to that to accolade and then "atari"/infrogrames).
tldr: stardock bought the name from atari, tried to license the _content_ from tfb and then just said that they _own_ the content despite previously having said that they don't.
I'm unsure on what tfb based the dmca action on, but probably some clause from their old license deals with accolade/atari.. they haven't been doing pkunk grade stupid things so far so I guess they have some reason(and actual proof etc).

if you pay 100 bucks / year and have the source then sure you can.
