Says someone who clearly didn't read the quarterly report. The difference between end-of-Q4 cash on hand and end-of-Q3 cash on hand is $100M ($3,4B vs. $3,5B). Except now they're starting to get significant revenue from Model 3.
How does the revenue help if they still are losing money on every sale?
Noise and location are important in rating a place to stay. Sorry if non Americans are better at using the full range of scale instead of feeling obligated to give 5 stars for adequate service.
As a STEM father with a daughter who was going down that path, I'm glad she decided to switch.
STEM jobs in general are high stress, low degrees of physical activity, and contain an abnormally high percentage of individuals with poor social skills due to diagnosed and undiagnosed mental conditions. All of this leads to a comparatively poor working environment.
There's a real reason behind why, at the high school level, only 20% of computer science students are female. Women with the skills to work in computers/IT have the skills to get much better jobs and much better working environments so they are happier and healthier.
In my daughter's case, it's architecture.
Yeah except in architecture there are more graduates than jobs.. Sure if she is good she will get a good job, but I know several architects working as waitresses.
So in a completely gender blind pay scheme, women still manage to make less then men? Can all of you please shut the fuck up about the pay gap now? It's clear that any remaining difference is caused by women themselves.
I would still encourage young girls to get into STEM and especially computers. There are still social presures teaching them at a young age that that they should be seeking low-paying jobs, and we can still fix that.
C'mon. HiFi has been around since the 1950's. It doesn't take six years for a multi-billion dollar company to R&D good sound.
Getting good sound by sitting between two medium to large-sized speakers properly located (rule of 3rds) and toed in is easy. Getting good sound from a small cylinder placed arbitrarily in a room is difficult.
Considering Apple is the leading vendor in low-fidelity head-phones. I suspect the trick is simple to TELL people is has great audio, and most of their customers would believe it without having anything to compare to.
Based on the adverts I've seen for this service, it looks like it is first-and-foremost a browser-based keylogger anyway, with the copy editing features just being the hook to get people to install (and pay?) for the 'service'. The 'bug' is probably just that actors other than paying companies and intelligence agencies can get free access to the data.
Sounds like what Google themselves are offering in syncing with your phones. They also record and track everything you write on the internet, but it isn't spyware, it is a feature!
Sending unsolicited nudes by SMS to a minor is likely illegal in various places. It's also not Apple's problem or ability to filter SMS.
Neither is it in a messenging app. It is there job to stop themselves from providing the wrong content to the wrong users, but a messaging app is content free.
Apple's own solution is supposedly encrypted, and Apple claims they can't decrypt it, if so, it must also be uncensored. So just as "mature" as this other competing messaging app.
Far too many apps on the AppStore which utilise trackers of all sorts, most famous being Google analytics and other Google adware tools, but more so other companies that use advanced forms of fingerprinting such as playing sound / detecting sound outside the human listening wavelength as well as watching movement of fingers across the screen.
But seeing as Android and Windows 10 are now the most dominant OS globally, most sheep obviously don't care about their privacy (or they're clueless of it).
Windows 10 was just trying (and failing) to catch up to Mac in collect user data.. They are still far behind since they have trouble getting people to use their app-store, where macsheep are more pliable
It's not censorship, but the walled garden sure makes the echo chamber loud.
So you can't sext on Apple's messenger? I find that hard to believe, so this is just removing cross-platform competitors from their platform.. I guess facebook and whatsapp are up next
Quite. If a human listener cannot trust the phrase "This is not a drill" to be an indicator that this is not a drill, then the phrase itself has no meaning whatsoever and shouldn't be included in either case.
The phrase has never had any meaning. It is not used outside of America as far as I know, because it is not just meaningless, it is actively harmful, as people will assume it is a drill if it is not there, and that it isn't a a drill if it is there, both of which are by necessity false assumptions.
If you break down the numbers, it's far less outrageous, but hey, why bother with the math? 20.8 million sounds like a crazy, impossible number, right? 20.8 million over 3650 days and 2900 people is less than 2 pills per person per day. Some people may be taking 4~6 pills a day on a regular basis (not saying that is good, but it is in line with a typical prescription), while others won't have any at all. It doesn't seem that unreasonable, given how opioids are prescribed these days.
That is still crazy high. Opiods should be giving in rare cases and only in short limited periods. Anyone taking more than a handful a year has problem.
Hell if even this was normal weak painkillers 2 per person per day on average is a health-care emergency.
Sounds more like something that will be another big government project boondoggle, but nonetheless a nice way for Trump and fellow Congress cronies to funnel money to some of their friends and backers to build out this network.
I hate Trump more than most, but this seems on the face a good idea. That is not to say the federal government won't screw it up.
In short, spectrum is finite. You want phones to be as simple as possible to cut costs, so having everyone share the same hopefully fairly large set of spectrum makes sense. They just need to have every company leasing out fractions of cells on an as needed basis. You might need an additional penalty of you leased space for a month and never used it, just to avoid companies tying up spectrum.
Spectrum in remote areas might be cheap, or possibly more expensive, if it is used in place of real broadband.
I'm not sure I buy the security angle though. Phones are likely fast enough to encrypt conversations end to end real time, but maybe our government doesn't want to implement that:)
In this case, it is just a matter of whether they can enrich all the people they want while still providing a respectable service, and if they can't, they can just say: Look what we told you: Government is always bad..... Sad..
I tend to agree. Meltdown had an obvious path to exploit -- run an unauthorized branch of code to access something one shouldn't, then make sure another bit of code read that unauthorized data before it was flagged and wiped. Spectre.... it's just snooping on random processes hoping to find something interesting at the same user-level access.
In a jewelry store theft comparison:
Meltdown -- walk in as a celebrity, ask the jeweler if you can view a specific priceless ring that only celebrities could afford, and then you bolt for the door as soon as the ring is on your finger. You got exactly what you wanted.
Spectre -- walk in, try to grab any ring an average customer is presently inspecting... assuming there are any customers and any of them are viewing any rings during your visit. You have no idea what you're going to get, if anything.... but whatever you DO get, it won't be the specific ring in Meltdown you could have gotten.
Actually, Spectre variant 2 is more like: Send 1000 people in to ask to see the same piece of jewelry, then walk in as a celebrity, don't ask to see it, but because the jewelrer has been trained that everybody wants to see the same thing, he takes it out and just places on the table before listing to what you actually want, and while he finds what you do ask him for, just pocket the jewelry you wanted but never mentioned yourself and walk out.
It is significantly slower than Meltdown, but it can do many of the same things.
teach Microsoft what "Out of Band" means? Hint--it doesn't mean "unscheduled."
Actually a "band" in this context is a specific radio frequency, and "out-of-band" is things not on that specific frequency. So if MS has a frequency of updates, something outside that frequency is out-of-band.
Firstly, you multiply by 1000 and not 100 when converting from cost per kilowatt hour to megawatt. Secondly, the article you linked to claims that the $0.28 estimate is too low. In fact, for South Australia, where the battery is located, they show a rate that is just under $0.50.
With both your corrections that brings us up to almost 500AUD/MWh, we are still off by almost two orders of magnitude compared to the claim.
Largely. However in a perfect world Brennan's Verizon accounts would contain nothing but emails to his family and friends, ecommerce orders and confirmations, and the usual spam. All his government traffic would be from his.gov account and even that would only contain unclassified material. Classified stuff goes by other means.
Got all that?
Think it works?
That has nonthing to with with government, but that single incompetent or corrupt individual.
that certainty "is derived from the AIVD hackers having had access to the office-like space in the center of Moscow for years."
Or maybe the hackers used social engineering to convince the landlords that they worked for the Kremlin. Or freelance and sometimes work for the Kremlin, but not always. Or the office space isn't in fact always only for groups working for the Kremlin.
Why would Dutch intelligence infiltrate a random hacker space nor associated with Kremlin.....
Personally I'm ambivalent about this entire situation, but dislike how everyone seems to be jumping to one conclusion or another.
No, you are not ambivalent, you are actively trying to twist your mind into ways of making this not the Russian government.
I think it has been said there were a few fake ones in between, or that there might be, but the breaki.n happened and was done by russians was never disputed.
America has more experience with immigrants probably than any other nation, and from the looks of it Germany hasn't bothered to learn from any of our mistakes. Good luck with that!
Mistakes? America is 90% immigrants, you think the US is a complete failure?

I said headphones, not loud speakers. But I am sure Bose is next if they want to continue in this direction.

But how does new users discover that?
Well, I discovered it by reading X11/window manager documentation... But I do realize I'm weird that way.
I discovered it by going throw the window-manager options in kcontrol and being able to pick which modifier would trigger it....
In other words gnomes, gonfiguration is helpful, even if you don't want to change anything.

Probably. But how does new users discover that?
I have noticed to my dismay it doesn't work in Windows for instance, so even power users from there wouldn't try it.
