An app isn't killing their currency, the United States reckless foreign policy is. It's pretty obvious, what with the sanctions and us backing out of the deal that was and is still working that we've decided it's time for a "regime change". It's the same bloody thing we did in Iraq with the added bonus that we're going to wreck their economy first.
What bothers me is that not only is it so transparent what we're doing but that nobody particularity cares. You'd think Americans on all sides would be pretty angry that we're overthrowing gov'ts left and right. Outside of a few left wing news outlets and the BBC I don't see anyone talking about it.
not doing so hot financially? You just need to "git gud".
I really think that too many video games is partly why the nerd community is so receptive to this bootstrappy nonsense. You get used to being able to practice something until you're good at it. Gives you a bit of en ego...
they die. That's what they do. They die. About 1 every 11 minutes.
The left needs more fearmongering. But can you really call it fearmongering when there's something real and legitimate to be frightened of? I don't know, but we lean to heavy on hope and change. That doesn't get the votes. Fear does.
which is a logical fallacy. TFA isn't a definitive source, and forums like this exist to point that out.
Let me know how well you and yours are doing in 40-50 years when one of them needs a heart bypass. Or a hip replacement. Maybe you'll get lucky, pick a career that isn't outsource and not be lied to by recruiters. I left a small town that was booming in the 90s with IT jobs before they all got shipped to India. Lots of folks got trapped in that town. Went from $70k/yr to $12/hr if they were lucky. Couldn't get away.
those aren't the things we want. It's what's being offered. The things we want (a good, meaningful life with friends and family) aren't really on the table for a lot of folks. All it takes is one family illness, picking the wrong career path or just plain being born in the rust belt and you're basically done.
You're actions don't take place in a vacuum. The Phrase "Pulling up by your bootstraps" used to be an ironic jab at wealth inequality and the general unfairness of the world. It describes a literal impossibility. Someone spent a lot of time and money to make that joke into a badge of pride for the lower class being trickled down on.
Also, those railroads would have much better regulated emissions and worker safety rules. One of the dirty secrets of the shipping industry from China is that they lose a few ships a month (and their crew). It's cheaper to let the ships go down than the build ships that won't sink. And yes, we can build ships that don't sink nowadays.
besides the very end ("A New Low") everything matches what he said. He doesn't believe the government climate report's finding. That seems pretty cut and dry to me.
The rest of your post is just getting into the weeds. The worst case scenario is irrelevant. The best case scenario is catastrophic. That's according to well over 95% of scientists. That number hits the high end of 99.9 when you take out folks who are paid by the oil industry.
it's not exactly rocket science to retool a factory in 2018. Or put another way, why don't they have to retool the factories to keep up with demand? They're cutting 15,000 jobs. If they were just shifting product lines there'd be no job losses.
You won't see a lot of talk about jobs being automated away though because, well, the folks running the pro-corporate media aren't allowed to cover those stories too often; if at all. They're all owned by the same folks (everybody sits on everybody else's board of directors at that level) and as a rule you do not piss off your boss.
is a big factor. They're building more cars then they can sell in 7-9 months. They could run the factories longer but then they'd have to cut the price on their cars more than it's worth.
TL;DR; car companies wanted to take over the roads so they created the term and tied it to a disliked minority to give it a bad connotation. At least that's how it went down in America.
on a base model (64kb) C64? You kids today and your "slow" computers...
Seriously though, just pop a command window or the text version of emacs up (which is more or less the experience on your C64) and you'll find it plenty responsive. OTOH pull up 20+ browser tabs, run a compile and a video encoder in the background and maybe throw in some crypto currency mining and a bittorrent client for fun and yeah, you might occasionally see some lag on a window change.
I think we're asking for a bit much from our computers at times. Still, if it bother's you then buy a newer CPU, spend $200 bucks on a mobo and another $200 on 32GB of ram and $300 on your SSD. My bro did and that was that. It's not an insurmountable problem, it's not even that expensive (my C64 was $300 in 1992, that's almost $600 today and the monitor was probably another $150 at least, I can't remember). Again, kid's these days...
that's what their embedded OSes were for. AFAIK this was in their consumer code base.
If I had to guess this was because of a real processor bug Intel didn't want to admit to. I remember when Win XP hit the shop I was at was flooded with dead computers from upgrades. Manufacturers had been selling bad ram in computers for years. By default Win98 would only make use of the first 64 MB of ram in most cases (there was a registry hack I've long since forgotten to force it to use your entire ram before going to the cache).
Anyway, XP's installer would copy the CD into ram to make the (very slow) install run faster. So you got to find out your OEM stuck bad ram in your box the hard way when the installer blew up. The best part was the upgrade couldn't roll itself back gracefully. I don't remember all the steps to fix it but it was a pain. We just did software where I was at too so it was fun having to send them somewhere else to get new ram and have them yell at me that the ram was fine. Good times.
most of the defaulted loans weren't on people's primary residences, they were on investment properties. That's what made the crash so bad. You had everybody and his grandma try to get into house flipping to make up for their pensions going *poof*. Those people were generally still working and had excellent credit. So they would have no problems borrowing the money.
The real trouble is that people couldn't afford to buy a house that'd been flipped 7 times and had $100k added to it's original, $200k actual value. Or worse to rent that house out for $3k/mo so the schmuck who bought it with his maxed out 401k could make their money back. The young'uns ("Millenials") just don't make as much as their parents (let alone their grandparents).
What made 2008 so nasty is that all those folks just walked away from the properties. Since they were mostly rentals and flippers they didn't go out of their way to keep them.
The part that's infuriating is that almost nobody talks about this. I only know about it because a few left wing news outlets covered it.
All it would take is for people to stop voting for anyone who accepts money from corporate PACs and to vote in their primary election. Hell, if the population of/. would just show up to their primaries with that mindset it would probably be enough. If you think voter turnout's bad in a mid term you ain't seen nothing like a mid term's primary. If you want political power for the working class, that's where it is.
the US screwing with the economic stability of the region is the biggest problem. Want folks to care about the environment? Give them a strong enough economy they can think about something besides tomorrow's meal. The US keeps butting their heads in (it's become pretty clear our CIA was responsible for the scandal that let Brazil's right wing depose their left, then there's the crap we did in Honduras, and the entire drug war, and "Banana Republics"....). Meanwhile the US voters keep looking the other way.
Doesn't matter where you are or what you're doing, fix the economy first and folks'll take care of the environment.
they're good an making you believe they're something they're not. It's kind of their thing. It's why we get so many actors in politics (and why they tend to be among the worst). Their job is literally to make you believe something that is not true...
they confirmed the claims late on a Friday afternoon of a holiday weekend. Sorta like how Uber released a video that made it look pitch black at the time their car hit that woman and then a few weeks later it came out that the video was taken from a low light camera and there was plenty of visibility...
who just elected two climate change deniers to major positions (governor and a Senator). Meanwhile red tide brought on by climate change is killing beach tourism.
which is that while loot boxes are bringing in a ton of money they're doing it with gambling techniques; and that can't last. They work because they're exploitative, and if you take that away they stop working. Eventually gov't will step in.
So far so good, but it's going to punch a massive hole in the balance sheets of every major company. The shareholders aren't going to stand for that. I'm not really sure what will happen. "Activist" shareholders might push to liquidate the companies. Or the companies might case some desperate trend to make back the lost profits only to lose a ton of money and collapse. Don't know, but it's going to be interesting times...
hasn't pre installed them and flagged them as system apps you can't uninstall. I guess you can spend days researching, buy the phone, search through all the apps to check if they've got it.
Oh, and don't forget to check each and every app update on your phone, since apps update automatically. You'll have to disable that and check each app, but you'll want to update them since otherwise you'll get nailed by security issues.

That's what this sounds like. Something to establish probable cause. At least that's what it's used for in the States.

it's at about 1/10 it's peak.
I'm guessing somebody is done propping up the market. This is a bit too much of a drop off for it to just be a course correction.

against climate change. I think we can all agree he makes good points.
