For example my college uses Google drive. I've gotten that working in Ubuntu...
I'm a little confused. I have Google Drive pinned in a tab in a browser on my Ubuntu box. What's your use-case where you need it more like a native file structure rather than just using it through the browser?
Exactly. I'm running late and I need to power down my laptop, toss it in my bag, and run. What are my options?
* Cancel * Update and Restart * Update and Shut Down
Fuck off Microsoft. I want this laptop in my bag in the next 30 seconds, not 5 minutes from now when you think you're ready for me to go.
What do I do then? Force shutdown and toss it in the bag. Does that harm it? Hasn't yet. So what's the fucking point of not giving me the option to just shut down now?
You are unfamiliar with trains in Japan then. It's an issue when they leave 20 or 25 seconds early. Lateness is inexcusable. If there is a change to the tickets that causes any confusion, it's going to be a madhouse.
As someone above pointed out, they don't really work out to be the same. That's because you're not considering cost of living.
If my income went up $100k right now, I wouldn't have anything to do with that money but invest it, save it, or waste it. If I wanted a house, it would be trivial to save up $300k for a $1.5m house. 3 years and done. At my current salary and cost of living expenses, it would take me about a decade.
Your example of someone making $60k and trying to save up $80k thus doesn't compare to someone making $250k saving up for $320k. More than likely the person making $60k can maybe scrape together $5-$10k/year, while the person making $250k can probably manage closer to $100k, depending on their lifestyle.
Another way to look at it is what it would take to save up a quarter of the down payment:
For the $80k guy, that's $20k. In one year, that would drop them down to $40k in spendable income for the year. For the $320k guy, that's $80k. In one year it would drop them down to "only" $170k to live on.
The "scaleup" is entirely artificial, not market-driven. EVs are selling because California has mandated that a certain percentage of each automakers' sales are zero emissions vehicles [ucsusa.org].
That last time someone made this asinine point I had the same response: Do you really think that Tesla has two years of cars pre-ordered because of this? Because that's one of the dumbest things I've heard.
Tesla's scaleup is due to demand. Full stop. You can hate EVs all you want, but that's not where a large percent of the US is at. Sorry if it hurts your feelings.
Well, the least/. could do would be to make posting a two step process where you get a chance to proofread your post and edit it before submitting. That should really help people!
Paranoid much? It's a soy protein. Soy proteins are used in fucking everything and have been for decades now. That's why the GRAS request was pretty much a non-issue.
As I noted above, I got to try one recently, and it wasn't the best burger I've ever had. However, if it was half the price, I'd probably order it somewhat often. I think with better (real) cheese on it, if it was cooked properly (it was medium well), and seasoned better, it would have been fine.
And that's coming from someone who is a bit of a burger snob.
Likewise I had one recently, and I have to say, it wasn't the best burger I've ever had. It was far from the worst, however. And that's saying something.
What? We've hunted most predators that could harm us to extinction or near extinction. As soon as we discovered fire and tools, gorillas were food or an inconvenience that needed to be dealt with. What they eat has no bearing on whether or not humans can and will kill them at will.
But how can I see who's ringing my doorbell from work then? How can I see what's in my fridge when I'm out shopping? How can I turn up the AC when it looks like fluffy is getting a little hot while I'm out getting dinner?
I can't believe you don't care about these incredibly important use-cases for internet enabled everything!
As Charter advertises it in the US, "Fibre-Rich broadband". That's so much made-up bullshit that it's amazing that it's not illegal. But it's apparently true enough that it's OK to trick everyone without a technical understanding of networking.
I concur. Jail plus a lifetime ban on participating in politics or lobbying. I think that last bit would dissuade a lot of politicians planning to move to the lucrative lobbying sector after they get out of office.
Before the digital age, the government employees would have meetings in person and just not write down what was said. That doesn't make restaurants and bars somehow complicit or instrumental in government officials' malfeasance.
The difference is that you could camp out a favorite restaurant and see who went into the private back room. You lack even that transparency with IM apps.
No. You've missed the point entirely. If someone could cause global warming on the moon, they would need to give it an atmosphere. That would make it far more habitable than it is now.
You do realize that if they could do that to a significant extent, it would make the moon habitable, right? I think a lot of people would be 100% for that.
The two possible interpretations are that they are global commons and countries can license operators to exploit them, or they belong to humanity as a whole, and we can only exploit them together.
Both have analogies back on earth, and treaties that cover these mechanisms.
Would be nice if/. had editors. They might have been able to add this information so the summary didn't just end on an incomplete thought.
I'm guessing that the dialog would have been altered to Obama meddling in the election to support Hillary by making up Russian collusion to hurt Trump.
I agree completely. I have the same sort of job. I figure complicated shit out. Often it's procedural with lots of moving parts, sometimes it's policy and law, and sometimes it's some data analysis to support all of the above.
The issue isn't you or me - it's (US) society as a whole. Until half or more of the people think like we do, it's not going to change. It's Arbeit macht frei for the people of the US.

In most other countries, no big deal.

Congratulations! You either didn't read the summary, or you didn't think the last line applied to you.
But many of us aren't aware of the impact our libraries have on our own communities, nor the programs they offer.

So what would net them more money - opening up their own site and selling official roms because there's a demand for them, or lawsuits?
This doesn't seem like a good decision, either financially or from a branding standpoint.
Assuming that we on the ground don't rely upon those things up in orbit.....

We have transparency laws. Are you unfamiliar with this fact?
I concur. Jail plus a lifetime ban on participating in politics or lobbying. I think that last bit would dissuade a lot of politicians planning to move to the lucrative lobbying sector after they get out of office.
So you're going to throw away the part where they're avoiding transparency laws, and claim how isn't important?
Are you a fucking dumbass, or a corrupt government official?

No. You've missed the point entirely. If someone could cause global warming on the moon, they would need to give it an atmosphere. That would make it far more habitable than it is now.
And anyone who doesn't is unreachable by both reality and morality.
You do realize that if they could do that to a significant extent, it would make the moon habitable, right? I think a lot of people would be 100% for that.
