How about straight up sales pitch. Our computing cycles only cost $100 per minute, buying the hardware outright would cost $10,000. Which would you rather spend $100 (trying to calculate how many minutes you would spend becomes a major computing exercise) or $10,000 (which is the easy answer). End of the year and that is easy total, instead of spending say $250,000 doing it yourself, you find you have spend $1,500,000, youch and now you don't have the expertise to do it any more and must rebuild it at major cost, whilst still having to pay per minute for the existing rip off. So how many idiots will they be able to scam with a seemingly cheap price, lots, bean counters all of them and not a tech person in sight, they are a cost centre everyone prefers to ignore, the old dumb vs smart jealousy (it very much exist in the workplace and smart people are always a threat to dumb people).
Apart from one tiny problem cows do not produce methane, that is kind of silly. What produces methane, why the micro-organisms living in the cows gut breaking down cell wall membranes. So smarter would be to replace those micro-organisms with new more efficient micro-organisms that would break down cell walls more efficiently, producing more actual cow digestible content from the same amount of feed that do not produce methane but also do not kill the cow. Note the methane does not just come from 'cow farts and burps' but also the faecal matter dropped on the ground which is controlled in many countries by dung beetles, often specially brought in to break up and bury the cows pats, to reduce fly numbers and incidentally methane from the continued break down of the cow pat. Better more efficient micro-organisms means better conversion of cattle feed, cow growth and hence into human feed. Likely lots of research, that idiot rights wingers would call crazy because in their empty minds what possible useful information could come from mass analysing cow pats (smart person, finding the cows with the best most efficient micro-organisms).
Well, no because foreigners in foreign countries most often do not want drunk US military personal rampaging all over the place. Military training should not take place over residential neighbourhoods outside of times of real war, not fake for profit wars. So rural locations, national parks and forest and out to sea and of course specifically established military reserves, this should be obvious. Plus civilian law should take precedence over military law, including on military bases, especially foreign military. Also military spending should be massively cut and that money spent far more soundly on turning of control law enforcers into smart police officers with university degrees and more of them (they could serve are extremely skilled military personal in times of real wars, instead of paying for soldiers in peace time, pay for more 'peace' officers, the police and whole lot fucking more sensible). Then cut military spending ever further to have the best possible infrastructure from roads to broadband and education to medical services (all far better spent on that, than on the military). Then further cut military spending just fucking because.
I'm betting it will be an SJW bomb. I will probably not bother watching it all, rather than be subject to that shite. Just like the really horrible recent Doctor Who series, where a from the gut thinking coloured lesbian was more important than any kind of reasonable science fiction story, guess the point where I stopped bothering to watch, want to hit SJW points instead of telling a story, meh, fuck off. I ain't no slave, I don't have to watch and I know from the gut thinking coloured lesbians probably wont watch either(smart white men not being their cup of tea), so good luck with that bullshit.
I male and I like a male hero protagonist because it makes more enjoyable for me, suck it. I am definitely no casanova, really, really far from being one (more of a slacker) but I still prefer and attractive female support and target of rescue, suck it. Don't want to do it, don't be surprised when I ignore your content it like it never existed. You do not make men's movies like women's movies, you make content for men and different content for women and fuck off the crazy lesbians who demand 'all' men's content become women's content and 'all' women's content becomes lesbian content.
Not that I am particular fucked about all that nonsense, being a slacker but I hate old established themes being screwed over by SJW morons. Create new ones you bloody anal fuckers and see who likes it, don't corrupt old established ones with bullshit, it is really uncool (don't like it, don't watch it, like duhh).
Pretty much M$ embracing Linux at this stage is a shear act of panic and desperation. They are loathsome scum, they thought of Windows anal probe 10 (because when doctors use, M$ follows you right into the proctologists surgery and now monitors that camera hooked to a Windows 10 PC right up your butt). Strictly speaking according to law, Windows 10 should be legally banned from doctors offices https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... , yet it doesn't happen, why doesn't it happen, well, guess who M$ has guaranteed a back door to, yep, corrupt government agencies, hence no prosecution for a clear cut criminal act. You also have https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., windows anal probe 10 again floating law by not ensuring the privacy of client lawyer discussion (both sides by law are require to be secure, guess who wants that back door), take M$ to court, when you and your lawyer have windows 10 installed, yep, uh huh, good luck with that.
It is not only evil, it is factually illegal and it is not being prosecuted, why the fuck not?!?
We all know from reports, that IP address and language usage are most definitely not the source of those attacks. They could come from any where in the world. Lets be brutally honest and real, if I wanted to hack the US government, I would do it from a bootable thumb drive, which would be well hidden when not in use and I would route all those attacks so that they would appear to come from Russia or China and I would tend to use tools sourced from those locations to better cover up tracks. How do you source an attack from a foreign country, to easy attack a noobs computer in that foreign country and you control it to send out your attacks. Russians would have to be pretty stupid to do that attack direct from their home computer. But, ah ha, you claim why would Russia care if hackers attack the US because criminals are criminals and they are weak to temptation and they will hack locally as well as abroad. Their local attacks, they of course would do abroad, from a bot, probably the US.
Private military/security contractors are notoriously corrupt, lie, cheat and steal to be able to factually 'kill' for profit. Now would a private military/security contractor be open to being paid millions to attack local companies, news agencies, pretty much anybody? Of course (they already 'kill' for profit) and would they be smart enough to source that local attack from an overseas bot (of course), so news article an empty crock of shite.
Make no claim about the attacks without localised proof, want to say Russia, well, where is the evidence of a Russian at the keyboard, in person actually typing in the commands, a russian owned computer is not a russian, it is just a potential bot. Want real computer law enforcement, then start crafting computer crime investigation and prosecution treaties you fuck knuckle moronic dick heads (oh that's right, you fucking pieces of shit, you can't do that because you can not hide your espionage activities behind those criminal activities, after all those espionage activities are criminal activities and in reality often nothing more than that because private contractors who already 'kill' for profit, so what is a little computer hacking to them).
People also forget, that decades ago companies used to take on cadets and train them. Now, cheap arse fuckers, that don't pay taxes, demand the government and workers pay for the training, which the companies exploit and then demand to pay less and less for the work, else they will bring in the cheapest foreign labour they can find. Now how many people do they want trained locally at government and worker expense, way more than is necessary ie supply and demand, glut of tech workers and wages collapses. Basically yes, they are psychopathic cunts, not better way of putting, they of course demand to be paid more and more for being the best psychopathic cunts for as long as it lasts and then wander off laughing with golden parachutes when the companies collapse, all backed by mainstream media, this backing is paid for in advertisements costs.
Conversions would seem an inevitability of the number of cars hundreds of millions and how cheap they become ie the conversion kit cost will be totally reflected in the resale value, so a lot of newer used cars become convertible cheap because the purchase price will be so low. That price difference, quite a lot, more than ample to pay conversion cost but that value must be in the vehicle ie the entire used car market, fossil fuel vehicles, basically becomes the conversion market. Many people will not be able to afford a new vehicle and government restrictions on fossil fuellers will simply force conversions, likely government subsidised conversions, this to mitigate losses upon the general population and distribute it more evenly across the economy (think job creation program).
Governments will relinquish anything we insist upon, end of story. Don't believe me, you know once our nations used to be ruled be monarchies. Those mad insane homicidal maniacs would publicly torture to death anyone who disagreed with them, our not so distant ancestors forced change upon a bunch of completely unwilling homicidal maniacs (keep in mind publicly torturing people to death as an acceptable to them practice). How much fear were those arse holes able to instil in to the public, in the most insanely Stockholm syndrome way, people still celebrate those who to this day, are still unashamed of how essentially evilly they became. How that fear still forces worship to this day and how in this day, it is still demonstrably evil as exemplified by the House of Saud, is crazy. The only difference between the kings and queens in insane asylums and the ones on public show, is the quality of their public relations and of course their history of brutality ingrained into the public psyche. Compared to that the scum, the ones running our corrupt democracy in their personal favour is pretty much nothing and all down to crazy things people believe and will accept.
Look at politicians as used car salespersons, not as who they pretend to be, the best experts in government in the country. Not only are they not experts in government, they are not even experts in getting elected, professional campaign managers can get any show dog elected and that is all they are dogs that sell out to the highest bidder. Why the hell be afraid of that, as easy as saying no loud enough and often enough, just like they were toddles and they will stop. Compared to the homicidal mania of monarchy, these corrupt sellouts are pushovers, just have to keep saying NO don't do that, loud enough and often enough and they will stop. Like toddlers, they just pretend they don't have to listen.
Often to look for untoward influence you look for subtleties in the message. The very notable one, straight off the cuff "The International Trade Commission" vs the reality "United States International Trade Commission" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/..., straight away smell a rat in that difference. So what is really going on in https://www.youtube.com/watch?... a country that has declared it wants to be globally energy dominant, a truly sick goal. Well, I guess solar panels must be evil until such time as US corporations are allowed to block the sun and sell access to it, to ensure US energy dominance of the Sun. This is nothing more than another story about protecting fossil fuel profit margins. The more expensive solar panels are, the higher fossil fuel prices can be pushed and this in conjunction with the US trying to force through corrupt sanctions to shut down competing fossil fuel countries to drive up the price.
Currently the most needed device for mobile phones where you can not remove the battery is a hard wired off switch. Accurate location, microphone, camera and the extreme privacy invasiveness and even worse the corrupt political motivation of corporations, just makes this all so much worse. Ain't never buying a phone I can not emphatically switch off, either a removable battery or a real off switch.
Well, if that is Apple's market that is Apple's market. The real way the law needs to be updated is that customers need to be made fully aware at point of purchase, the abnormal limitation upon device repair and the costs involved, failure to make the customer demonstrably aware of those limitation else, the customer should be entitled to a refund at any time after purchase.
You do work, you are entitled to the dividends from that work, your stuff does work, they are entitled to the dividends from that work. You are not only stealing users resources but the outcome of those resources. Claim value in that crypto currency and by your definition, you have stolen capital value as well as resource use.
More interesting how many people believe the author of the extension and obviously the code should show where the proceeds of crime were sent.
There is a balance between expressing democracy and theft of rights of citizens. So a culturally Spanish person living in Catalonia, will have their rights stolen, they would either be required to get out, losing their established life or lose their Spanish citizenship. It is called tyranny of the majority, in either direction. It will always be problematic and undesirable, there are never good outcomes and inevitably everyone is worse off but scammy nationalists, people scamming democracy for their own personal advantage, will always push and hide behind nationalism. When it comes to actual policy advantages, well, they never say much of anything, let alone tell the truth, they want control of government to be able to sell policy to the highest bidders and tough luck the suckers that voted for them. When it comes to getting rid of the corrupt nationalism, then they attack democracy in worse and worse ways as they try to retain power, including military coups.
You all can crap on all you want to try to preserve bit coin value. All reports seem to indicate, the government of China let it run for as long as it did, so they go ban it, grab the data and go on a massive crime hunt by mining that data. No matter what anyone says, the real bad news for bit coin dabblers, those seeking to finance criminal activity in China are in deep trouble. I wonder if the Government of China will allow them to buy that one bullet prior to the organ 'er' recovery table with bit coin. For those outside of China not much to worry about, unless they traded with those in China and then extortion is likely to become a problem and seriously you should avoid travelling to China for the rest of your lives. How seriously will China dig, well, the US government has been stealing 'er' confiscating bitcoin for quite some time and using it for espionage activities is to be expected, as is using that data to hunt down espionage agents and those they have bought off. Be afraid, be very afraid, well, only if you decided to cheat the government of China with bitcoin.
Well for me Windows anal prove 10 has killed PC gaming. I have purchased two really old games for PC since Christmas, simply because I had never played them before and further investing in a corrupted platform makes no sense. I will likely buy no new games until my current machine dies and I swap platforms, M$ can stick windows 10 where the sun don't shine, rather than have them pry into my life, like they have a right to it, fuck M$. I see the positive story for windows PC gaming as real panic sets in with M$ due to falling sales and hostility to their gross mass invasion of privacy. Windows 10 is damaging XBONE sales and well as PC game sales. I note that both Apple and PS4 sales are up against the corrupted POS M$ environment.
It had apparently very little to do with politics but more an particular policy issue, everyone with half a brain can pretty much understand this because https://www.washingtonpost.com.... Ohhh look the corporate whore had a something like one thousand million dollars to spend and $100,000 buys you pretty much fuck all but propaganda must be served and the corrupt democrats must not be held accountable, otherwise all the other corrupt politicians will also fall. So how much did Israel spend on the elections, how much did Saudi Arabia spend on the elections and as a side note, how about a list of all countries that contributed to the Clinton Foundation where the bulk of the money went on insider massive salaries. Hell, $100,000 would not even buy you into the Clinton Crime Clan upon a temporary associate guest status https://www.washingtonpost.com..., so what did Saudi Arabia get for over 35 million dollars, apparently lots of guns and bullets.
Hmm, let me see, ohh, how about the fucking alphabet, you know the silly shit, ABCDEF instead of fucking QWERTY, why querty because you need it for manual mechanical typewriters https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... so the type bars wont jam. Apparently the gender conused don't like the alphabet because it is too traditional and demand the alphabet be altered from ABCDEF to QWERTY, why because they are gender confused and that's enough reason for anything and everything, challenge that and be publicly attacked.
Even worse, be a really bad actor and call on others to vouch for you and you destroy their reputation as well. Look at the reputation of the other members of the five eyes, the UK, Canada, Australia and even poor little New Zealand, all of their diplomatic reputations have been turned to shite by repeatedly falsely vouching the integrity of what have proven to be US lies. Used again and again, all the US has done is destroyed their reputation and make them worthlessly in pushing US lies on the rest of the world. The US government seen as nothing but tools of Corporations and other governments (especially Israel via control of media corporations and Saudi Arabia via mass bribery), depending upon who pays the most bribes when, nothing can be trusted coming out of the US any more. That rejection of the NSA will play out much worse for US corporations, that shot was a profound warning shot about the enormous damage done to US trust, pretty much non-existent and that means the trust of US corporations will follow suite, they are going to find it harder and harder to do business in foreign markets when high levels of trust are required. Forcing the sale of F35 flying pigs with back doors and they all know the back doors are there, is not helping one little bit (you just know the corporations with those keys will sell them to the highest bidder and those back doors will do huge damage to US reputation, you just know it will happen).
I'll wait for all the other manufacturers to jump into the market and drive real competition but not long enough for the resale of my current infernal combustion machine to collapse in price. Tricky choice that one, pay more for all electric and getter better resale on a fossil fueler or pay less for all electric and get crap price for fossil fueler or maybe just maybe, wait long enough for conversion system from fossil fueler to all electric become available if ever.
Dude, even easier, don't use it. Just configure the security the way you want to roll, don't like the biometrics don't configure them and don't use them, they are not compulsory. As for the phone itself, if you need to buy apps to make it functional buy Android, there are a whole bunch of phones, you do not need to buy one app for, they are fully functional out of the box. Don't know how broad the base apps for iphones are and whether or not you can do every from calendar and appointments to fully featured camera, to a few free basic games and play any file you store on the device, book, tune or video. They are still over priced for what they provide but at least they do treat end user right to privacy with some sort of seriousness. Whereas both Google and M$ consider all your communications post cards they have a right to read, scan, analyse and in the future censor (don't even think for a second they are both not headed straight down that track, the YouTube attack on free speech should be a reminder to you all).
Ijoit, you do not get played when you release the truth, the truth is the truth. The only arseholes are the ones in charge of government who keep secrets to hide their crimes. So smart arse, why the fuck didn't every country use Wikileaks to expose every other country, you claim it. By law you are required to report the crimes of the US government in your country regardless of the bullshit laws in the US to claim it is illegal to do so. I look forward to all countries using wikileaks to expose the criminal activities of all other countries, the more the fucking merrier but I expect all non-corrupt countries to start prosecuting the crimes that have been exposed. The only ones being played are the US public by the US government in the most publicly blatantly exposed act of corruption for failure to prosecute a whole host of crimes by screaming Russia, Russia, Russia, you people are fucking morons.
It doesn't take a smart AI to do some very dangerous things depending upon what it is hooked into. So yeah, it can pretty much be as dumb as fuck but if it has the launch codes and can send them, well, you know what, the simplest dumbest bug can launch them. So Elon Musk is in reality looking at the trust of AI issues, considering that crappy coders with uniformly crappy warranties, coded them ie AI meant to flush the toilet in the executive officers suit because who at that level could be bothered with the menial task of flushing a toilet in the Pentagon but instead manages to launch a missile.
So you are not just trusting AI but trusting the crappy code in that AI. How crappy is the code in our modern world, just stop and read software warranties for a change, any other product and I mean any other imaginable product with those kind of shit warranty less warranties and no one would buy them. Software is on the whole buggy shite that barely works. How much should you trust an AI built upon that kind of principle.
This is way, way more than a shut down of bitcoin by the government of China, this is a mass fishing expedition for crimes facilitated by the use of bitcoin. The government of China look set to be making use of bitcoin as a flag for criminal activity and doing major crime data mining to pursue those who have used bitcoin in China to facilitate crime. Depending upon how well they do, will drive how soon other countries follow suit. Way more dangerous than a simply shut down.
Nah, user pays. You don't pay to have you work validated as having social worth or making that claim for copyright protection, than you don't get it. There is simply too much content out there to bother protecting at enormous tax payer expense, especially when the content industry is renowned for cheating on taxes to the nth degree. Don't pay for copyright and prove worth, than you don't get it.

It will always be problematic and undesirable, there are never good outcomes and inevitably everyone is worse off but scammy nationalists, people scamming democracy for their own personal advantage, will always push and hide behind nationalism. When it comes to actual policy advantages, well, they never say much of anything, let alone tell the truth, they want control of government to be able to sell policy to the highest bidders and tough luck the suckers that voted for them. When it comes to getting rid of the corrupt nationalism, then they attack democracy in worse and worse ways as they try to retain power, including military coups.
You all can crap on all you want to try to preserve bit coin value. All reports seem to indicate, the government of China let it run for as long as it did, so they go ban it, grab the data and go on a massive crime hunt by mining that data. No matter what anyone says, the real bad news for bit coin dabblers, those seeking to finance criminal activity in China are in deep trouble. I wonder if the Government of China will allow them to buy that one bullet prior to the organ 'er' recovery table with bit coin. For those outside of China not much to worry about, unless they traded with those in China and then extortion is likely to become a problem and seriously you should avoid travelling to China for the rest of your lives. How seriously will China dig, well, the US government has been stealing 'er' confiscating bitcoin for quite some time and using it for espionage activities is to be expected, as is using that data to hunt down espionage agents and those they have bought off. Be afraid, be very afraid, well, only if you decided to cheat the government of China with bitcoin.
Well for me Windows anal prove 10 has killed PC gaming. I have purchased two really old games for PC since Christmas, simply because I had never played them before and further investing in a corrupted platform makes no sense. I will likely buy no new games until my current machine dies and I swap platforms, M$ can stick windows 10 where the sun don't shine, rather than have them pry into my life, like they have a right to it, fuck M$. I see the positive story for windows PC gaming as real panic sets in with M$ due to falling sales and hostility to their gross mass invasion of privacy. Windows 10 is damaging XBONE sales and well as PC game sales. I note that both Apple and PS4 sales are up against the corrupted POS M$ environment.
It had apparently very little to do with politics but more an particular policy issue, everyone with half a brain can pretty much understand this because https://www.washingtonpost.com.... Ohhh look the corporate whore had a something like one thousand million dollars to spend and $100,000 buys you pretty much fuck all but propaganda must be served and the corrupt democrats must not be held accountable, otherwise all the other corrupt politicians will also fall. So how much did Israel spend on the elections, how much did Saudi Arabia spend on the elections and as a side note, how about a list of all countries that contributed to the Clinton Foundation where the bulk of the money went on insider massive salaries. Hell, $100,000 would not even buy you into the Clinton Crime Clan upon a temporary associate guest status https://www.washingtonpost.com..., so what did Saudi Arabia get for over 35 million dollars, apparently lots of guns and bullets.
Hmm, let me see, ohh, how about the fucking alphabet, you know the silly shit, ABCDEF instead of fucking QWERTY, why querty because you need it for manual mechanical typewriters https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... so the type bars wont jam. Apparently the gender conused don't like the alphabet because it is too traditional and demand the alphabet be altered from ABCDEF to QWERTY, why because they are gender confused and that's enough reason for anything and everything, challenge that and be publicly attacked.
Even worse, be a really bad actor and call on others to vouch for you and you destroy their reputation as well. Look at the reputation of the other members of the five eyes, the UK, Canada, Australia and even poor little New Zealand, all of their diplomatic reputations have been turned to shite by repeatedly falsely vouching the integrity of what have proven to be US lies. Used again and again, all the US has done is destroyed their reputation and make them worthlessly in pushing US lies on the rest of the world. The US government seen as nothing but tools of Corporations and other governments (especially Israel via control of media corporations and Saudi Arabia via mass bribery), depending upon who pays the most bribes when, nothing can be trusted coming out of the US any more. That rejection of the NSA will play out much worse for US corporations, that shot was a profound warning shot about the enormous damage done to US trust, pretty much non-existent and that means the trust of US corporations will follow suite, they are going to find it harder and harder to do business in foreign markets when high levels of trust are required. Forcing the sale of F35 flying pigs with back doors and they all know the back doors are there, is not helping one little bit (you just know the corporations with those keys will sell them to the highest bidder and those back doors will do huge damage to US reputation, you just know it will happen).
I'll wait for all the other manufacturers to jump into the market and drive real competition but not long enough for the resale of my current infernal combustion machine to collapse in price. Tricky choice that one, pay more for all electric and getter better resale on a fossil fueler or pay less for all electric and get crap price for fossil fueler or maybe just maybe, wait long enough for conversion system from fossil fueler to all electric become available if ever.
Dude, even easier, don't use it. Just configure the security the way you want to roll, don't like the biometrics don't configure them and don't use them, they are not compulsory. As for the phone itself, if you need to buy apps to make it functional buy Android, there are a whole bunch of phones, you do not need to buy one app for, they are fully functional out of the box. Don't know how broad the base apps for iphones are and whether or not you can do every from calendar and appointments to fully featured camera, to a few free basic games and play any file you store on the device, book, tune or video. They are still over priced for what they provide but at least they do treat end user right to privacy with some sort of seriousness. Whereas both Google and M$ consider all your communications post cards they have a right to read, scan, analyse and in the future censor (don't even think for a second they are both not headed straight down that track, the YouTube attack on free speech should be a reminder to you all).
Ijoit, you do not get played when you release the truth, the truth is the truth. The only arseholes are the ones in charge of government who keep secrets to hide their crimes. So smart arse, why the fuck didn't every country use Wikileaks to expose every other country, you claim it. By law you are required to report the crimes of the US government in your country regardless of the bullshit laws in the US to claim it is illegal to do so. I look forward to all countries using wikileaks to expose the criminal activities of all other countries, the more the fucking merrier but I expect all non-corrupt countries to start prosecuting the crimes that have been exposed. The only ones being played are the US public by the US government in the most publicly blatantly exposed act of corruption for failure to prosecute a whole host of crimes by screaming Russia, Russia, Russia, you people are fucking morons.
It doesn't take a smart AI to do some very dangerous things depending upon what it is hooked into. So yeah, it can pretty much be as dumb as fuck but if it has the launch codes and can send them, well, you know what, the simplest dumbest bug can launch them. So Elon Musk is in reality looking at the trust of AI issues, considering that crappy coders with uniformly crappy warranties, coded them ie AI meant to flush the toilet in the executive officers suit because who at that level could be bothered with the menial task of flushing a toilet in the Pentagon but instead manages to launch a missile.
So you are not just trusting AI but trusting the crappy code in that AI. How crappy is the code in our modern world, just stop and read software warranties for a change, any other product and I mean any other imaginable product with those kind of shit warranty less warranties and no one would buy them. Software is on the whole buggy shite that barely works. How much should you trust an AI built upon that kind of principle.
This is way, way more than a shut down of bitcoin by the government of China, this is a mass fishing expedition for crimes facilitated by the use of bitcoin. The government of China look set to be making use of bitcoin as a flag for criminal activity and doing major crime data mining to pursue those who have used bitcoin in China to facilitate crime. Depending upon how well they do, will drive how soon other countries follow suit. Way more dangerous than a simply shut down.
Nah, user pays. You don't pay to have you work validated as having social worth or making that claim for copyright protection, than you don't get it. There is simply too much content out there to bother protecting at enormous tax payer expense, especially when the content industry is renowned for cheating on taxes to the nth degree. Don't pay for copyright and prove worth, than you don't get it.
