How could they sell it as the restaurant product in the freezer aisle when it is not the same?
But to answer your question:
1. optimized heating tools (grill, steamer) while the at home customer has little more options than microwave 2. Atmosphere, Atmosphere, Atmosphere. Our brain is easily tricked to mix up price with quality.
However: I do agree that increasing automation will cause large social problems,
It's not the automation per se that causes the problems.
it's more the fact that we insist that people somehow "work" in exchange for goods, services and housing, but less and less of that work is needed to provide goods, services and housing, thanks to automation.
"compiling a custom kernel"...yes... but after writing and including custom modules and drivers for the hardware used.
The regular linus distros support a handful of processors, that's why a "building a custom kernel" is less more than checking boxes to in- or exclude modules, but you don't have custom hardware that you need write modules for first.
Which is correct as they don't have to build their own windows (based on what they get from Microsoft) to get it to run on the machines they manufacture. Windows will be running out of the box on any machine that follows "PC" specifications.
There aren't any specifications like this for phones. Phone manufacturers need to build a specific OS for each phone based on what Google delivers as Android. That's exactly why you need the guys from cyanogen et al for: What Google gives out as Android will not be running on any phone without modifications.
And as the old saying goes: If you mod it, you maintain it.
It is high time that Google took Android back in-house, and required manufacturers to add their glossy, bloatware overlays as user-removable apps which sit on top of the OS. OS-level updates should then be sourced not from the manufacturer or the carrier, but from Google themselves. That would instantly solve the problem, while allowing manufacturers to provide the differentiation they foolishly believe us to want. (And for those of us who'd rather have a stock experience, we could get rid of all the manufacturer crapware and have a swiftly-operating phone with regular security updates.)
Yes, but will never come as
a) what Google delivers as "Android" won't be running on any device as there are specific additions and changes necessary to get it to run on a specific hardware, that need to be provided and integrated by the hardware manufacturer
b) Google is already in hot waters for abusing a de-facto monopoly and hindering competition between cellphone manufacturers by already making to much software descicions for android phone manufacturers. (or the slashdot article)
What if you never connect your phone to a mobile network and use it WiFi only*? At least my manufacturer provides updates by regular Internet that I can access by Wifi. No provider ever knows if my phone is on his network.
* not the most common use case, but people might need a small tablet or don't need mobile internet but want to sync calendar & contacts every 24 hours when they are at home
Paper maps have their advantages, but they are usually for planning when you can spread them out on a table before a trip AND if you have the right scale. During driving itself they are only better if you have an experienced co-pilot to serve as navigator.
Socialism looks good on paper. All men are equals working together except a few men who lead them and distribute the goods. But in practice, the leader people start power tripping wanting more and more power. And then they become afraid of the people rallying against them, so they crack down on political dissenters at first sight. Then by doing this, they become a more hated villian, and feel the need to oppress their people more. Socialism on paper looks good, but in history, it hasn't panned out well.
OK, this is the first post I've read today that is close to both theory and practice. But keeping this in mind, how on earth can some idiots use the "socialism"-label as the bogey-man in any political debate but AT THE SAME TIME slap it on run of the mill democratic countries as Norway and Germany? If Sweden was socialist, why should anyone be afraid of it? Make up your minds, please.
You wish. Ever heard the catholic latin prayers pronounced in various countries? Our choir has to note for each piece if the conductor prefers italian or german latin pronounciation for this piece. (it's mostly the c being pronounced as a g or k)
and first of all: I wouldn't know of any material that would tell us how to properly pronounce latin at all.
Anyone even remotely connected to this decision should be removed from office immediately. Yes, the DoT has to make rules on highway signs. it's their job. But their actual job is to make highway signs, that show the names of geographic points like towns and cities!
If they - for whatever reason - can't spell the name of a town, the DoT is not doing their job! Don't get me wrong, there are more than enough reasons to restrict official place names to the alphabet of that jurisdictions official language's alphabet, but then restrict the actual friggin official names!
What good are highway signs that can't spell the name of towns! As long that place has an Ö in it's name, the highway signs have to spell out that name. Correctly. i don't see any need to even discuss this.
That's exactly what Google and other companies are doing.
But IPs are dynamic and may be assigned to various locations within a few weeks and most GPS enabled devices are mobile, so there is a common sense limit on how exact these data would be.
She could have gained 3 grand per month by setting up a hot dog cart and a big sign "welcome to the center of the USA" instead of "call the local police if you're here for whatever reason"
Which is IMHO completely valid for the intended main purpose of map coordinates based on IP-Adresses: Create a huge NASA or James Bond like Command Center screen that shows visits to your website on a spinning globe.
even if you ware just creating a heat map of potential customers, having all unknown Kansas customers show up in a nice red spike right in the middle of Kansas (and other states) would show you at a glance from which states your website visitors are.
These visualizations do not care about accuracy, and to build them you don't need any bounding boxes or accurycy information. You need the "where should I pose this "pling" on the map for maximum overview"
That's only true if you assume that the crime one is talking about has been committed in the first place!
But we have arrived in a place where dis- and reassembling a clock in a makeshift case gets you arrested for a bomb scare, which is treated as terrorism, and stupid but harmless jokes on facebook lead to having your home swatted. (And who cares if dogs or your kids get shot - hey, it's your own fault)
That would be the authors of the plans themselves.
But the idea is not completely wrong as to find out if someone pays all due taxes, you need to know how many taxes he's paying to begin with. The next step would be to use those data to recognize money-shifting for tax reason. Final goal would be to close the multinational legal loopholes used, but that's scheduled well after world peace and understanding women... (I heard they booked a conference room for a discussion on that subject at the new Berlin airport....)
They *could* accept it, so they were not forced to decline it.
You only need to be forced to do something, if it would be against your own interests or beliefs. And your example conditions are pretty clear against freedom of religion, so you would go into a war because you believe in your cause, and not because you are forced to.

Riddle me this... do you want your heart surgeon on mind effecting drugs?
Well, rather than him being on cold turkey.

The thing with junk-food burgers is that every burger and every bread already have industrial-grade quality.
And not only junk food.
each time I'min the US I'm wondering how places that obviously don't do more than heat up pre-made food are allowed to call themselves "restaurant"
To add insult to injury, that ready-to-microwave stuff then shows up under the restaurants brand in the convinience food aisle at the supermarket!

Millennials want other people to work while they get free stuff and can sit around all day, smoke pot, and play video games.
Replace pot and videogames by golf, fishing, knitting or any other leisure activity and show me one person who wouldn't want that, too.

Everything that is prefaced by something similar to "Thou shalt not..." in a collection of (valid) regulations is invalid.
If it would say "You shall not kill", there would be no lawfull and unlawfull killing.
...or the kinegramms used by the slines in Anathem.
That's exactly what Google and other companies are doing.

Hmmm.. let's do bit of a back of an envelope calculations....
They're giving out one default location for IP adresses that are located in the US, but without any further information available.
These point to a remote farm.
So, how many people could be in there for your class action? Yeah, right: ONE!

Doesn't matter. Ask France.
Your tuition fees at work. Shouldn't that money be spent on a good education?
