They'll make a killing initially on the lDIOTS that fall for this garbage, take the money and run when it falls flat on it's rear!
The "modern maximum" period of around 1950-2008 is where all this so called man made global warming came from.
Nobody talks about the period BEFORE the industrial revolution, from around 1750 to 1800 that was about as hot as
the period between 1950-2008, or the SUPER COLD period known as the Maunder minimum, where the Potomac river
in the USA (before it was the USA) and the Thames River were frozen over during the winter. The sun, cycles in typically
an 11 year cycle. We are in cycle 24. Cycle 23 started around 2008-09 and since that period, the sun has been VERY
quiet. Lack of solar activity (sunspots, CME's etc), decreases the solar wind striking earth, and limits the ebb & flow of the
weather patterns via the geomagnetic bubble around our planet.
"Man made" global warming, is nothing more than another attempt to limit what man can do, corral him, and (here comes the
conspiracy crap), pull the world into the "new world order" where you have ONE all powerful centralized government, controlling
the entire planet, which we all know, would NEVER work.
No incentive to slim down the code. Same with PC's.
With space NOT at a premium, why waste the time trying to slim down the code.
Plus, people want/demand/expect more things from the application.
DDT was considered bad too, but, years later it is found to be safe, but, don't tell that to the save the whales/bambi/tree hugger types.
They will hit you with website after website saying how DDT kills this or that.
Roundup has been used for almost 40 years. If it was THAT deadly, it would have showed up by now.
Like I said, you can't have a peaceful meaningful conversation with the "animals first" bunch...they are always
right, and anyone with an opposing view is a (insert one of their favorite terms).
It's "ok" to fire a conservative, heterosexual male. That's what the left does.
Google would only be in trouble, if they fired a black, transgendered, homosexual, pregnant, disabled person.
I gave up on Dave...all that money changed him. He turned into a sex crazed liberal moron. I guess living
in the "Hamptons" (north east USA) does that to people.
With him being on Netflicks, he'll be able to cuss, call anyone he wants anything he wants...other than a curiosity,
I can't see people paying extra, if that is what happens, for this crap.
Just retire and GO AWAY.
The problem with Florida, was Algore, or his "group" wanted to hand pick counties to recount. Instead of recounting the entire state, he wanted to pick only areas they knew would be heavily democratic.
Plus, had Ralph Nader not run, Al Gore more than likely would have been elected, just as Bush 41 would have been elected, had Ross Perot not run in 92.
Personally, I'd like to see ALL electronic voting of any kind, done away with. Every ballot should be paper, with an X or similar to denote who you pick. Plus, I'd like to see everyone that votes, have their index finger dipped in that hard to remove purple ink you see in a lot of 3rd world countries, along with everyone that votes, should present a government issued photo ID. (for those that have a hardship, the ID should be given at no cost).
Sometimes, I think the corruption in elections is a backhanded way to make people think "what difference does it make" to the point they don't bother voting, so our soft tyranny we have now, can be transformed into a hard tyranny, or dictatorship.
If you look at it now, we already have 2 classes of people. The politicians and the surfs (citizens). How many laws are on the books now, that WE as citizens must obey, but, those elected, do not. Obamacare, Social Security, insider trading and what not.
They make laws for us, but then exempt themselves from those same laws.
They would have to constantly MOVE them around because people who drive the same area day after day would get use to them.
Not to mention the 3d one of the kid running after a ball.
Amazing that so many people still believe in this myth of man caused "global warming" (whoops, sorry, Climate change).
The climate has changed many times over the BILLIONS of years Earth has been around. Sometimes hotter, sometimes
colder. The "Earth first" morons latched onto the data during the "modern maximum" sunspot cycle to push their globalst
agenda of man caused global change, using the fact that people are ignorant of what goes on in the universe.
By crippling free thinking in the schools from the late 70's on, they've created a couple of generations of non thinkers that
believe what the government tells them without question. (as long as it is from a liberal/socialist point of view). One good
burp from a volcano wrecks more problems with the climate, than anything man has done.
All this global warming panic is, is another lame attempt at control.
If feedback from their customers says they want a stock UI, then it's just good business sense to give your
customers what they want. Also, they should offer their own UI, IF THE CUSTOMER wants to install it.
I wish more vendors would do this, but, bloat is what they want to "enhance your user experience" ie: piss you off.
It's the same thing that people said years ago about programs installed on your computer.
Reason why? Why should a software company, worry about the size of the code for their
program, when storage space is not at a premium?
People routinely have 64gb or more space on their phones, so why spend the time to tighten
the code, when the space is there?
Lazy coders, and or bottom line pencil pushers don't care about the size of the program.
He LEFT google almost 10 years ago. Not to mention, some android phones have caught up and passed up
the iPhone in regard to pinhole sensor cameras.
They need a new category for smartphones. Instead of calling it photography, call it "snapshots", because you
will never achieve a level of performance and quality, with sensors that are tens of times SMALLER than even
most compact, and super zoom cameras, not to mention APS-C and full frame d-SLR cameras.
If they would make ALL ads, 100% static, UNLESS you click on them (and I don't mean a mouse over), I would stop
using ad blockers. This also goes with the stupid auto start videos, that wait 10-20 seconds to start automatically
after you've scrolled down a page, then have to look around to find the bloody thing to turn it off.
I whitelist/. because their ads are STATIC.
For giving in, to the Communist Chinese. See what happens when you put all your eggs in one basket?
They pretty much "make everything". Piss off the Chinese, and all of a sudden there will be production
delays, shipping delays on Apple products.
I've been gainfully employed for almost 40 years. Right out of college.
If I'm not worth paying for my labor, then it's not worth working for a company.
DO NOT let the government get any more control on the internet, than they have now.
The "slow" internet in the USA, is BECAUSE OF THE SPREAD OUT NATURE of the
United States.
Your digital ads might work better. STOP SHOVING THEM IN OUR FACE!
Make your ads static, like in a newspaper, magazine, etc. When I'm reading an
article and start to scroll down, and then all of a sudden some stupid ad starts blaring
in my face, and I have to scroll up to shut the #(!@(^% thing off, it makes me NOT to
want to do business with that company. When people have to install ad blockers to
at least enjoy some content without having to worry about pop ups, pop unders, auto
launching video ads (with the volume cranked to the max), then you know you have a
problem. There are sights (like/.) that I whitelist because their ads are STATIC. THAT
is how web ads should be. I'm more likely to click on a static ad, than a shove-it-in-your-face
ad.
Boy, can you imagine the number of dead/damaged smartphones on the 22nd of August, after people point their
phones at the sun? You know there will be those that do it.
I've got an ISO 12312-2 filter for my dSLR all ready to go. It amazes me the stupidity of some "oh, I'll just wear dark glasses".
If I can't buy it on Amazon, or at a Walmart, or Best Buy....FORGET IT.
This VC crap is just another way most of the time to sucker fools out of their money.
YOU made the choice to work for Facebook. Did facebook hold a gun to your head, and say you MUST work for them?
Is it Facebook, or for that matter, any other employers fault, that where Facebook is located, is a SUPER expensive place
to live? Nope!
This is just another bleeding heart story. There are many places you can live & work, but YOU wanted to work for Facebook
for the obvious reason that there might be some "gravy" associated with it on the other end.
The purpose of the military, is to break things and kill people. It needs to be a tight cohesive bunch, not with a bunch of
"my gender of the week" types. The military should be EXEMPT from all of this political correctness garbage, which, is set
up on purpose, to reduce morality, and destroy the best fighting force in the world.

Gee, like FB doesn't know enough about someone?
You need to find an alternate source. Never get your information from one source. They are left leaning, just as some sites are right leaning.
