or maybe you want to minimize anyone's digital dossier of you in case the future does alter such that information that is benign today becomes not so benign.
"Hacker culture" does indeed reject 'professionalism' as the word is usually associated with pretentious grandstanding over certain codes of behavior and dress. It has little bearing on the things that "hacker culture" does respect: merit, self-reliance, and a desire to learn and master.
That way leads to police states. Due process is there for a reason. It prevents witch hunts. If you want to be mad at someone, blame the cops for fucking up procedure.
Well, if you just need simple external monitor connectivity, you scream 'marketing exec'. You'd be better served with a regular macbook assuming apple made one with a thunderbolt port. Of course, the current one has usb-c, so you'll need to carry around a converter for that. Just what everyone wants: to carry another converter around. The plain macbooks were meant originally to cater to people who care more about weight and simplicity.
'Real pros' whose workloads regularly hit the limits of whatever they're using DO want performance, expandability, as well as connectivity. They don't want to haul around an extra USB3c hub to plug everything in either. Even if it doubles as the power converter, it's not always taken along esp with today's 8hour batteries. The IO should be in the machine itself: ethernet, tons of USB ports, firewire for those legacy drives/cams out there, media card readers, hell, maybe even an optical drive as an option. User-swappable battery would also be nice. So what if it's a little thicker? For these people, it's better than an ultra thin machine plus a whole bag of add-ons just to mate the damn thing with whatever they're using, while still being lighter than one of those Clevo chassis.
VR with laptop video? Good luck. Even the top end gamer laptops with the fastest mobile gpus are mediocre for that. Such a gpu would require a thicker chassis just for heat dissipation alone.
Well, it seemed to me when I first read the summary that it was a hw problem.. It's not. it's drivers provided by qualcomm.. If apple was using the same drivers they'd be just as blameless as google is.
Well, the GP blamed google.. The language of the summary made it sound to me like it was a fault in the silicon.. Turns out both statements are wrong. It's qualcomm's drivers. I stand corrected.
Every instance I've ever seen has been harassment of some kind.
Yeah because you conveniently choose to interpret it as such.
Simple outright racism or other bigotry never gets a ban.
Sure it does... whether it is or not, as long as the user is a white/male criticizing someone who's not.
https://i.sli.mg/fNAcRy.jpg Of course when someone like Jones makes racist statements about whites, it's ignored. She was part of a movie that was deliberately designed to be sexist towards men as part of its comedic artistry (sexism is apparently ok as long as the targets are men). The movie turned out to be shit on multiple fronts, and when she played victim for the flack she got for it online, she got more of it. No shock there.
If twitter wants to take sides and become the social media DailyKos that's up to them. They should just make it clear in their TOS. I would prefer they stayed neutral, but if not, at least be up front and honest about their expectations.
The real reason for the flack twitter gets is lack of honesty. If they only want progressive views expressed, they need to make it a policy/part of the TOS. Then everyone will know where they stand. No more passive-aggressive moderation of users who express contrarian political views. They'll be banned outright for TOS violation.
1. Then your own prices go up accordingly. If the prices for this widget spike enough times, someone else will enter the market eventually.. unless of course government steps in to maintain the monopoly. 2. Politics load? 3. If they're bought out, then that means the owners (or investors) felt they weren't good enough to compete long term. Unless of course the incumbent was shielded by government....
2. Patents, trademarks, and copyrights are enforced by governments. I don't want to abolish them but I do think they've been rampantly abused, again, because governments allow it. If government involvement was rolled back, these corporates would have to spend their own money to maintain their monopolies (ie compete) instead of government spending taxpayer dollars that haven't been earned yet on their behalf. 3. That's true, but again, that's still up to government to do so.
1. I could choose not to buy. 2. I could choose to buy. 3. Others could go into business and compete with him, assuming no government interference.
In contrast a government monopoly:
1. forces me to fund whether I want/like the service or not. In this case, it's likely happening as bigbadgovernment is likely this company's primary target customer. 2. Can make it expensive to compete, or even lock out competition altogether using law. 3. can threaten me with jail for noncompliance.
As far as social media goes, it has replaced normal interaction and keeps adults in a high school state of mind, insecure and dependent on others' attention for self worth. It's a digital popularity contest. Anyone who grew up with it knows no other way..
35? She's practically barren at that point.. One kid, maybe. Two at the most, probably with outside help. A man who wants to marry and have a family should not be marrying 35 year olds. The reason there's a surplus in that age group is because those women partied their 20s away and can no longer find guys who meet their impossibly high standards.
Overpopulation is rampant, or will be soon.. unless of course you want the average person living like they do in the Congo.
The bottom line? Dating is a buyer's market and the buyers are women. Men will need to work even harder on self-improvement instead of wallowing in the status quo if he wants to attract the opposite sex.
Or just opt out and leave the entitled princesses to the guys who will put up with their anti-male brainwashing and have the means to fund their irrational fantasies. If the average gal is conditioned from childhood to expect more than an average guy, then that settles that.
Lets fix the real problem: the conditioning people've gone through that makes them think calling cops over a chat program image is rationally justified.
DC politicians are the traitors. They routinely pass law that violates the constitution, they've made it clear they're willing to sell our liberty to the highest bidders, and they are willing to prevaricate about it on camera. Fuck them.

Part of the problem is we treat a document browser as an application platform.
Yes because 'programmers' never make mistakes, right?
or maybe you want to minimize anyone's digital dossier of you in case the future does alter such that information that is benign today becomes not so benign.
The last 100 years or so of history would disagree with you..

If you read the summary you'd know this is a flaw in silicon, not android. Blame qualcomm not google for this one.

Good idea. It'll be perfectly secure as long as you never drive anywhere.
bigbadgovernment is just the logical conclusion to all of that. The ultimate monopoly.
False claims are a problem, but so is actual sexual assault.
Crime is a problem but it does not justify 'rape tribunals' or other guilty-until-proven-innocent "listen and believe" nonsense.

Paper is simple, easy to understand, and hard to manipulate on a mass scale. Not so with crypto.
