Maybe not, supposedly this deal was a big issue in the Wisconsin gubernatorial election this year. So we will find out soon whether or not they keep the same bums in. The current governor was the one who really pushed the deal through.
If Tim Cook personally promised each and every Apple user sexual favors from their favorite movie star (upon request, of course) somebody here on/. would figure out how that was bad, that Apple sucks, that Steve Jobs would've done it better, and Samsung did it first.
Mmmm... Jessica Chastain. I'd have to own an Apple product first, unfortunately.
I'd love to have something like this for dealing with oncoming cars with the super-bright headlights. I find myself putting on my sunglasses just so I'm not blinded by them. I figure it's better to see less light overall instead of nothing due to the glare. Something that could let me see everything else in normal light but would dim headlights in view would be superb.
-rant- Why is that so many drivers not only drive with their lights but also with their fog lamps on? They are not going to make you see any better, but they sure do a better job of blinding oncoming drivers! -/rant-
If Disney's track record with Pixar and Marvel are any indication, they seem to have a "hands off" approach with the movie studios. So any blame for "bad" Star Wars movies are to stay with Lucasfilm.
I enjoyed TLJ; wasn't the greatest movie I've ever watched, but I tend to be pretty forgiving of scifi as long as things don't get TOO unbelievable. Don't get me wrong, TLJ had some serious flaws, but nothing I couldn't ignore.
What got Ventura elected was that his opponents were both terrible. I've never liked Norm Coleman, and Skip Humphrey was a joke. The die-hards in the GOP and the DFL both voted for their guy, and anyone independent voted for Ventura. From what I remember it was mostly a three way split, with Jesse narrowly taking the win.
He might be a nut, but he was a damn side better governor than the idiot who succeeded him.
Also who wants to live in a world that seems to be locked into a continual cycle of war or threat of war? Would be nice if we'd evolve past this bullshit.
Why would we want to do that? War = massive profits.
I want how it worked with Windows 7: let me configure how updates are done (Notify but don't download unless I give the go ahead, and let me decide when to apply them). Actively removing any mechanism where I can set that is asinine.
I have my Win10 Home box "hacked" to prevent auto-updating (essentially, setting the wired network to be metered via the registry), but I don't get the notifications like I used to from Win7. It did nag me after installing 1803 about being behind on updates, so maybe that will be good enough.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Up to an including the death penalty.
And they will do it again next year, maybe sooner.
The fact that you seem unconcerned with that is very telling.
Not actors, but this story reminded me of this one:

Public health, schmublic health. There's MONEY to be made!
Who the fuck cares if we make the planet unable to support human life! I'll be dead, having made MORE MONEY!
Maybe it's just me, but I'd MUCH rather have my local government get that revenue instead of some giant corporation.
I might actually benefit from the town getting some money to spend here.
For a moment there I thought that they were eliminating executive stocks and bonuses to pay for this.
Silly me, how could I possibly imagine that happening!

And what about companies that only have female board members?
Is there a board in existence that has only women? Far fewer than all-male boards, I'd wager.
That being said, I don't think this is the right way to solve this "problem".
Amazon doesn't care if you don't steal because you are honest or if you don't steal because you know you will get caught.
Sounds just like God.
If the only thing keeping one from being a criminal is the threat of eternal torture I will question their morality.

Yes!!! Global warming will be better than viagra!

Any service that is subject to data caps, throttling, etc. should not be called "unlimited".
Unlimited: not limited; unrestricted; unconfined. https://www.dictionary.com/bro...
My home internet is a paltry 20Mb DSL, but it is full speed 24x7. That's what I call "unlimited".

You know, 5+ years experience in a technology only 2 years old?
I bet an AI would work, as long as it's not setup by an HR drone.
Why am I in hell, and why is it so damned cold?
No more loopholes to avoid paying. If the revenue was from money gained from sales in the US, then they need to pay US tax accordingly.
they're as replaceable as cheap toilet paper
For precisely the same reason.
Oh sure, then we'll be doomed when the Triffids invade.
