I don't really care one way or the other about the law personally, though on a loose note I'm against it because its fucking stupid, but I'm happy it kept PayPal out of NC, and hopefully it'll keep Amazon and Facebook away too.
You see, heres the thing, I know that these high tech companies suck ass and do everything they can to be absolutely as little use to the locality they are in and keep all the money for themselves and use the absolute smallest staff they can possibly employ using automation (I write said automation for billing systems) so the benefit to the state from a practical prospective doesn't exist.
It is, in fact a negative when you actual look at the big picture instead of some random battle cry that you've decided is important.
PayPal is a shitty company and a couple hundred employees in one town is effectively NOTHING WORTH EVEN FUCKING TALKING ABOUT TO THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA SO FUCK PAYPAL:)
So no, no one is going to give a flying fuck that paypal isn't here except the few politicians who's hands they aren't going to grease now.
You started your argument with the assumption we wanted PayPal in the first place. Your assumptions make you look retarded and wrong.
We're not going to miss the companies who 'aren't going to come to North Carolina' because of this. Those companies bring nothing of value. Data centers are WORTHLESS to a local economy. A couple hundred employees at a call center are MEANINGLESS in a state like this were we can't fucking build homes fast enough to keep people from living in hotels.
So when you're going to use these sorts of arguments... you should make sure the people you using them against don't think of your reasoning as a plus rather than a minus. SOME OF US can actually think for ourselves and no better than to think PayPal coming is Gods gift to the state, you might want to get a clue yourself and find the ladder off your high horse, the fall isn't going to help your lack of common sense.
Northern Europe has a few countries like that, Norway? Denmark? One of them recently decided everyone get a base income, thats where you want to live.
Right up until their economy collapses from the influx of dead beat freeloaders sucks the system dry and no one has anything other than a drained economy and a bunch of people who contribute negative amounts to the system.
If thats too much effort for you, there have been free cellphones for years, there have been free (subsidized) internet plans for years (or NetZero), welfare will cover your rent and food.
If you want to be a dead beat mooch, there are plenty of American's who can illustrate to you exactly how to do it within America... but I'd prefer deadbeats move to Denmark.
Right, and they ARE INTENTIONALLY vague to make it so you can't come up with some bullshit loophole based on the wording of the law rather than its intent.
The SEC deals with blood sucking lawyers all day long, be happy you get vague rather than 'on a whim' or 'shot on site because they opened their mouth'.
Are we seriously discussing the change from 'should' to 'may want to'...
SERIOUSLY? Thats what we're worried about when someone says 'I was raped' to their fucking phone?
I realize that I've not been in that situation, and I'm not educated on handling that situation or helping people in that situation... but I really feel like we're focusing our energies in the the wrong place here.
Lets start by establishing that they don't use either WEP or WPA, then we can get back to who knows what they're talking about, K? Such is journalism and the reality of people 'hacking' something... without having any fucking clue what they actually did.
I guess adding a $1 port and a $2 codec chip on both the controller and drone is too much to ask for protecting a $28k drone from being stolen or destroyed by a prankster.
The XBee radios they are using for communications support encryption out of the box. All you have to do is turn it on and give it a key and it does all the work.
People could make long distance phone calls without paying by using a whistle that came free with breakfast cereal.
Its only slightly more complicated now. I can safely say you have everything you need available to you RIGHT NOW to make all the free phone calls you want, only now you can do it without leaving your home and even make it practically untraceable while you sit at home!
The PSTN is still based on the idea that all the connections are relatively trusted because people will 'never figure out how to do this and its a dedicated link'... unfortunately, that is not now and never really was actually true.
I have 3 racing quads (Naze32 based controllers), 2 photography quads (with full auto pilot, navigation (ArduPilot)), 2 traditional RC Helis and 2 RC Seaplanes (These use COTS parts from Futaba for competition purposes), all of which have some sort of autopilot or 'assistance' on them. The CPUs in NONE of them support encryption.
You do realize that you can FLY an aircraft with full auto navigation on an Arduino, right? I don't think you understand how easy it is to write compact software that will do amazing things on tiny CPUs, probably due to dealing with bloated ass PCs where no one gives a fuck about writing decent software.
Flying an aircraft doesn't require a lot of CPU horse power. Standard servos and speed controllers operate at 50 hertz. They've changed speed controllers for quads because the APs can do much higher refresh rates, which when coupled with the way quads work makes a noticeable stability difference, So you see, even a little Arduino has CPU power to spare for flying the aircraft... but it doesn't have encryption.
The CPU in all 5 of my quads cost less than a dollar each. You can get encryption instruction sets in all of them (The cpus that is)... but that'll put the chip at $3-5/each instead of $0.75
In the embedded world, you don't bring shit you don't need with you, it wastes power and space, generates heat, and introduces additional complexity and unknowns. Even if they included encryption for no monetary cost, you wouldn't buy a chip with it unless you knew you were going to use it. Do you want your aircraft to crash because of some weird Errata that only occurs on chips with X feature that you don't use?
HOWEVER, All XBee chips DO support encryption so that the CPU DOESN'T have to know anything about it. All they would have had to do was flip a bit with the configuration tool and add figure out how to manage keys in the production environment/end user space.
Its 9am EST, so 13:00 GMT... and you want to tell me someone has already been fired because they sent a gif in an email?
Let me go ahead and clear something up for you, that douche bag was going to be fired today ANYWAY, the email had nothing at all to do with it.
Can we please not make such retarded fucking statements in the summaries for articles? Can we use at least an ounce of thought before regurgitating some bullshit you heard someone else spew?
Its cute that using a warrant canary makes people think that it gets them out of legal obligations, but it really doesn't.
When you pre-emotively tell people 'if we delete this, it means we got something we can't tell you about', when you delete it... its effectively telling them right, we all know thats what it means, right?
Try to argue in court against a judge that you didn't tell people about the secret order, go ahead, lets see how that works out for you.
It blows me away that people think something like a warrant canary is clever enough to get around the people enforcing the requirement not to tell anyone.
Do you think the school yard bully gives a shit when you tell him you didn't do anything and didn't make fun of him while all the kids are laughing at hime cause you made fun of him? You guys are really out of touch with reality of you think this 'warrant canary' thing is to be trusted. Honestly, its not naive, its all the way to stupid.
No, it means there are no cross supports and none of the traditional sound dampening material in the roof, just one sheet of solid glass (or something glass like) so there is a thinner, lighter roof. Taking out those cross supports gives a very surprising feeling of a lot more space.
I'm really waiting to see how that gets a 5 star for roll overs.
I can not imagine that sliding upside down on glass between two rails is going to go well, the amount of glass flying around inside a Model 3 after an accident is just frightening at this point. Safety glass only does so much.
~$75k a year to afford this car. $75k for a household is not "rich" in my book.
Rich? No, but still in the top 1% of the country. You have absolutely no idea how much money the 'common man' in America makes. 15% of our population lives in 'poverty' which is something like 13k/year income. The AVERAGE American income is about 51k/year... but the median household income per year si closer to 30k. The 1% skew the numbers for everyone else because the gap is so ridiculously large.
The average household income for families with MASTERS DEGREES... is 78k/year. If you go by the median, you know, the one that matters, you need a freaking Doctorate to make $78k/year. I can vouch for that, my wife is in fact a vet, she made about 70k a year until she got yet another 4 year degree to get lab animal certified.
You need a doctorate to buy an affordable car? I don't fucking think so.
This car isn't affordable in the sense that Musk is trying to pretend it is. Joe Sixpack isn't buying a Model 3.
The rest of the 1%, like those of us here on slashdot (hint, if you've ever bought a north face jacket new (you trendy bastards) then you're more than likely WELL into the 1% range even if you're too ignorant to realize that), can afford a Model 3, but that doesn't make it affordable, just makes it cheaper than the last model.
$75k is good fucking money unless you live in some retarded city that costs way to fucking much to live in. It does not count as affordable if you need to make $75k/year to fit into a magazines model of what you need to make.
Okay guys, you're born a Jew or your are not born a Jew. If your mother was a Jew, you're a jew. If you're mother wasn't a Jew, You aren't a Jew. Its not something you get to pick.
Contrary to what Madonna thinks, Jews don't get to choose to be Jews and Catholics don't get to follow 'some' of the rules. You either are or aren't, there is no in-between.
Following Judaism doesn't make you a Jew, it makes you a follower of Judaism. Being born to a mother who is of Jewish decent makes you a Jew and you're a Jew for life in that case.
So, just for reference and clarity... Any jew who calls himself a neo-nazi... is ignorant moron who has no fucking clue what he's talking about. How fucking stupid can you get. Let me guess, he also has brown here and brown eyes and thinks the Aryan is going to rule the world... with their blonde hair and blue eyes... right?
This MEME really needs to die. Old Cobol code isn't an issue any more than old ASM is an issue to Windows.
Banks didn't update their backend cobol systems for this shit, they put new front ends in front of it. Haven't done some brief contracting for a couple who essentially write everything in C# and have literally one guy that knows Cobol and 'the mainframe' that helps them interface to it with VERY MINIMAL IF ANY code changes at all. You make the new front-end interoperate with the back-end and you leave the back-end the fuck alone until its completely replaced.
His name and ability to sucker people into venture capital money is the only reason they exist.
They hired the guys who wrote ardupilot and promptly subverted it.
Their website sucks ass and stock indications are ALWAYS wrong.
Their customer service flat out lies to customers about items being in-stock or shipped.
Their DIY drones are sub par quality and way over priced. Their COTS drones are heavy, slow, and have short flight times (guess why).
Their good features, their flight management software and ArduPilot... aren't theirs. They bought the ArduPilot guys, and the GOOD flight management software for ArduPilot doesn't even come from anyone at 3DR. The 3DR flight management software, while cross platform (the other software is Windows only:(), its slow, buggy, crashes, doesn't support all the features of the other system and is much more difficult to use which is impressive considering they tried to make it look and act the same.
They deserve to die, they do not deserve to suck venture capital out of anyone else.
Chris Anderson has no fucking clue what he's doing as far as running a company. He was a shitty editor in chief at wired and that is the ONLY REASON 3dr exists, because of wired and his name there. He is more than capable of making his bank account fatter, but as far as running a business, he's as worthless as a used douchebag.
The problem is 'his kind' aren't ignorant about how nuclear power works like you are, and they are fully aware that 'the worst nuclear disasters' to ever take place on the planet... weren't really that bad.
Chernobyl isn't all that dangerous of a place to live unless you're inside the new containment building. You don't know people still work at the plant right? And that it was an operating power plant until well into the last decade, right?
Japan has had at least 3 major nuclear events in the last 100 years, 2 of those were atmospheric nuclear super criticality events resulting in nuclear detonation... yet... Those two cities are thriving. The third site, Fukushima is nothing more than a media sensationalization exercise where idiots like you freak out over... nothing.
More people have been harmed by media coverage of nuclear events than the nuclear events themselves, thanks to idiots like you.
Get a fucking clue. Educate yourself. Do some research. That bullshit FUD they fed you in the 1950 isn't actually how it works.
No, its not hard to say. Its a fucking ridiculously stupid fucking plan.
I assume
Stop, you're wrong, the rest of your post is entirely wrong because of this ignorant assumption.
The land they are referring to is 'seriously contaminated' to the point that if you went and lived there... you'd never fucking notice unless you slept in the new containment building.
So yes, its a bad fucking plan because a bunch of pansy ass idiots are freaked out about NOTHING.
Look at what is ACTUALLY occurring there and what ACTUAL radiation levels are... Look at the ACTUAL chemicals you would ingest... then crawl in a hole and die because the coal fired power plant powering your computer while you read this puts out more contamination EVERY FUCKING YEAR than that nuclear incident did...
But you're too stupid, ignorant and afraid of OMFG NU-CLEAR... so you keep making stupid fucking statements like 'this isn't a bad idea'.
This 'waste' should be buried a couple miles down inside of a fucking mountain where it can decay to the point of not mattering WELL before anyone can get anywhere near it. Not in a beautiful environment full of animals (and could be people if it were for the ignorant paranoia and this exclusion zone bullshit)
That doesn't change the fact in the parents statement.
Yes, the do OSS.
OSS is not why they are a 2 billion dollar company.
They are a $2b because of their investments in other markets. They own a bunch of valuable stocks and bonds, they don't produce massive amounts of revenue.
Redhat has never been 'profitable' because of OSS. Their IPO allowed them to get a quick large injection of cash which they then used to buy other stocks and bonds, and those other stocks and bonds make them a fortune.
The OSS stuff is almost more like a cover operation than anything else. They like OSS so they do OSS, but thats not why they make money.
Sue your local government for $5m... then YOU ARE THE ONE OUT OF THE $5m and it'll have to be made up via more taxes.
The reality of it is, Erin Andrews didn't deserve more than an apology and Hulk Hogan doesn't deserve even that.
NEITHER OF THEM DESERVE ANY MONEY BECAUSE SOMEONE SAW THEM NAKED.
Do you have any fucking clue how god damn retarded that is? Both of these people spend far more time naked in front of a doctor in a given year than anything on video, and they pay their doctor... yet get 10s of millions of dollars because we saw them do something completely normal...
We know Erin Andrews has a naked body and ass, and as someone who's a young woman on TV, we all knew she looked at herself in the mirror, so WTF DOES IT MATTER IF YOU SEE IT ON VIDEO?
Guess what, 30 years ago, Hulk Hogan had a daughter... so you know he fucks... WHY DOES IT MATTER IF YOU SEE HIM ON VIDEO fucking some woman?
The totally ludicrous part of this is that either one of them got any money at all.
Punish Gawker with a criminal punishment if there is one, but this civil suit crap is utter and complete bullshit.

Do you have any fucking clue how god damn retarded that is? Both of these people spend far more time naked in front of a doctor in a given year than anything on video, and they pay their doctor ... yet get 10s of millions of dollars because we saw them do something completely normal ...
We know Erin Andrews has a naked body and ass, and as someone who's a young woman on TV, we all knew she looked at herself in the mirror, so WTF DOES IT MATTER IF YOU SEE IT ON VIDEO?
Guess what, 30 years ago, Hulk Hogan had a daughter ... so you know he fucks ... WHY DOES IT MATTER IF YOU SEE HIM ON VIDEO fucking some woman?
The totally ludicrous part of this is that either one of them got any money at all.
Punish Gawker with a criminal punishment if there is one, but this civil suit crap is utter and complete bullshit.
