Not if that convenience is going to breed a surveillance society of willing cattle, thank you very much. If you cant' trust your daughter to do some driving at 16, you did a shitty job of parenting..
Yes.. this is the feminist definition of 'equality' defined in title 9. If 30 guys want to play a sport that has a minimum of 15 players, and only 9 girls sign up for the girl's team, it doesn't happen. Of course, if this applied the other way around, the 'womyn' would be screaming in 'outrage.'
The filter for OSS is lack of interest. When no one is interested in the capabilities, it is abandoned.
The filter for closed is lack of sustained monetization, whether the software is still useful to users or not is irrelevant. Many times older versions with fewer use restrictions end up being 'good enough', and kill off the 'business model' the developer wants to use/change to, so the whole program is abandoned. SaaS is a perfect example of this progression. Today's feature is tomorrow's monetization killer and is removed. What the user actually wants becomes more and more irrelevant as it finds its way to bottom denominator hell.
So, basically OSS programmers program whenever they want, and not just to satisfy the material desires of employers, women, and the pointless treadmill of keeping up with the joneses? Sounds great to me! Hey, the source is out there, if you still need the program, it's available.. What happens when a closed source guy decides his program doesn't get him laid anymore? His site disappears and you're left searching 'oldversion.com' style sites looking for the installer...and you can pray that it'll keep working on future versions of your os.
At some point women need to step up and engage their agency instead of playing the pity party games.. At that time, most PEOPLE didn't have home computers. They were expensive devices. If women were truly as interested in computers as men, there would be a lot more of them, 'oppressed' by men or not. No one would be able to stop them. This assumption of oppression is completely broken. It's too bad that society is falling for the lie of 'gender reconstruction.' It's causing all sorts of grief for both genders.
Just about all the good programmers I know, taught themselves, and went to school just so they could say they have the piece of paper to the HR drones guarding the bridge. The kids that actually tried to learn in class? They're the ones who flunked out.
He's said that he had "one or two more engines in him" before he's done..and he has spent more time talking about his side interests in space flight and VR.
Correct, though the democrat party isn't exactly run by young chickens either.. Many of them are aged hippies still trying to live out the glory days of the late 60s through policy. Both parties are a disaster all around..
They all report facts. The spin is in which facts are presented and how they're correlated. They all do this because their ownership has a narrative they want viewers to accept as their worldview. The days of real news are long gone.
That's alright. There are plenty of players out there.. I was referring to foobar's modular approach being targeted at the technically inclined digital audio fan who wants to pick and choose his own config, both in how the audio is played back through his system as well as the GUI. It's fine out of the box, but not really compelling. It's strength is in its customizing abilities.
A society that only satisfies the lowest common denominator is no society I'd want to live in. foobar is targeted at digital audio fans. Everyone else uses whatever default their OS assigns.. It's nice to know that foobar is quick and efficient even for those who don't have that many files.
What pressures going forward would inspire the entities that influence this sort of thing to start fresh?
A license system that allows hardware vendors/users to port/recompile code to current designs? x86 has a legacy because of all that binary only windows software out there.
What in the competition between Intel IBM etc causes this apparently extreme level of backward compatibility?
Their customers want it so they don't have to buy new overpriced binaries every time they upgrade hardware. If they have to upgrade the software as well as the hardware, why not consider a competitor?
What is stopping them from building a niche product that abandons backward compatibility or does that already exist?
Sure, this is done from time to time, like those arm based windows RT tablets which didn't do well because they couldn't run x86 software.
At the point of impact, aren't we're talking millions of degrees of heat energy? Wouldn't this sterilize anything ejected from the planet?. This whole premise sounds more like a bad scifi movie than a real hypothesis.
Yeah but what about the existing debt? That has to be paid off before we can improve anything else. We also need a government in place that doesn't spend like a 16yo princess with her daddy's credit card.
Sorry.. With income and sales tax, something close to $0.40 on the dollar goes to the state already, more for specific items due to punitive taxation. While I don't dislike your idea, I already pay too much in taxes to float the systemic deficit spending loan as it is. Enough is enough. I want my money and my rights/freedoms back please.
Most people already have a few too many overseers peering just a bit too deeply into the details of their lives. This creates stress, even when nothing is 'wrong' and the surveillance sounds 'reasonable', because as the number of watchers goes up, the probability of one of them finding something to pick on increases radically. Reality, your judgment, and thought process no longer matter. What matters are what the watchers are thinking. When the watcher is a computer, it gets worse as there is no contextual judgment whatsoever, making it ripe for abuse when coupled with hollywood trained computer sensibilities in typical law enforcment officers (eg auto ticketing traffic light systems). "Computers don't lie" is the operative phrase here. So, the last thing anyone needs is yet another computer monitoring and passing judgment on them via shitty heuristics like the ones you've presented here. They aren't fool proof..and they never will be. There's already too much of this in society as it is. The pantywaisted twats babbling for this can go fuck themselves.
There is no need to track a car's position.
No need? That doesn't mean there isn't a want or two in there somewhere.. Are you really that naive?
Secondly, once this takes off, those who DON'T opt for it are going to come across as the ones who have 'something to hide', i.e. bad driving habits.
Right, so I'm sure you post your passwords online for all to see? CC numbers? bank accounts? SS number? Do you leave your home unlocked? Your car? Would you give the police a key to your home? Riight. You 'got nothing to hide' people are just nanny state apologists. Go move to sweden if you like that smothering socialist feel. A lot of us don't.

Why not? Direct experience isn't the only means of gathering information.

No. All socialism would do is give the state the 'winning' ticket every time.

Good luck finding employment in the future.. It sucks, but most employers do engage in nepotism.
Unless introverts get labeled as 'anti-social' on their records and discredited that way..
Or worse, that nosybody generation becomes old enough to start hiring and then filters out people who DON'T have their entire lives laid bare online..
All news outlets have a narrative now.. Don't just pick on fox.
xmplay is probably the best module player for windows as well, if you're into the old tracker formats.

scale out a bit and you'll see it's really 'no sovereignty over your life.' This thing with car 'insurance' is just one piece of it..
