Any of my non-liberal friends are afraid to speak up because most liberals have extremely vile personalities, and they think you are Satan's Little Helper if you aren't on the same page as them. The vast majority of them won't even listen to reason, just spouting off the rhetoric they read from their left-wing propaganda rags.
Totally unlike you who has just spouted off a bunch of vile rhetoric about how slightly over half of the voters are evil.
Seriously, who modded this inflammatory shit "insightful"?
Like any group of humans, 15% are vile, 15% are righteous, and 70% are sheep and will do whatever the loudest person in the group is doing. It is unwise to dismiss our shared shortcomings.
The case for verifiable and reproducible ballots/votes is extremely strong and is entirely independent of the current Clinton/Trump issue. The only thing I question is why so many people think that this somehow requires "paper", as if it will somehow magically prevent tampering and beget accurate recounts and election integrity.
I was all set to change over to using Microsoft cloud based technologies, but was completely hung up over the fact that VS wasn't available for the Mac. Thank you Microsoft!
If only a completely invisible network existed where people were not only anonymous, but had built in protections so that government's/ISPs couldn't tell if you were connected to the network in the first place..... Oh... Wait... We've had it for a decade.
And that is exactly why I blame the Democrats for Trump.
If you want to blame someone, blame the sixty million people that voted for Trump, or the 120m people that didn't vote for Johnson. Blame the 200m people that chose not to vote.
Placing blame isn't productive when it is the vast majority of the population that is at fault. We deserve Trump.
Note to the young: Sperging about your lost candidate on the night of an election doesn't constitute "dwelling"... You need to wait a few days before using that word.
In the case of Samsung, they are in a position where they make a number of components for the iPhone. So when Apple wins, Samsung gets paid. When Apple looses, Samsung gets paid.
I believe the business strategy is called "DFU" (Don't Fuck Up).. All you have to do is release slightly OK products that don't kill your customers and wait for your competitors' greed, ineptitude, and arrogance to do them in....
Thank goodness Samsung isn't a US corporation, otherwise my tax money would be bailing them out.
Go ahead and see how fast you can transfer these 36 Megapixel RAW images from my D810 camera.
The first image will take 30 seconds (to wake the WT-5 and connect it to the network). Subsequent images will take 5-15 seconds.
Let me google you an example.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Knowing how Freenet works, and that you can only see the content if you are given a USK or other key, I have to question the accuracy of their analysis. Perhaps they simply used Tor to browse the encrypted/anon web, but that is pretty far from the assertion of having analyzed the dark web... The dark web is dark because you ( and automated tools) can't see it.
I believe we need to hold Facebook to the same high standards of Journalism (Accuracy, objectivity, ethics, unbiased and verified) as we do the major media outlets like Fox, CNN, NYT, NPR, and Rolling Stone Magazine.
(Thank goodness nobody can see my face as I typed that)
However, and advertisement disguised as an article is still and advertisement.
Slashdot also doesn't want to drop below their 3-a-day Apple smear quota. It's been really sad to see as of late. It's funny that most of the comments are from people calling Slashdot on their BS though.
This is the third clickbait Anti-Apple article today. They had the google vulnerability disclosure article and yet another MacBook Pro pooh-pooh article.
Apple has always cooperated with LEA warrants and will continue to do so.
Using the words "hid a major vulnerability" is misleading. It implies Google infiltrated Apple source code to implant an exploit. Google didn't hide shit. They found the exploit, informed Apple, and kept quiet about it for the safety of the users.
I wish you had posted this before I blew all of my mod points.
The good: Amazing screen, speakers, compact build, good battery life, nice sound, comfortable input devices.
The bad: No 32GB? AYFKM?! Holy crap! JI can go EABOD. Perhaps they'll release an upgrade in the form a Tbolt dongle;-)
Look beneath the surface and you will see that this is about grabbing a larger share of the merchant's fee.
Indeed. This appears to be an Australian issue only, because they have only a few banks that collude and fix the prices of transactions. Apple is cutting into their precious monopoly. While I'm in the US and am unlikely to visit Australia anytime soon, it's my opinion that these banks can EABOD.
But, I fear that something this radical is a non-starter for a lot of reasons, not least of which is because it is the much feared socialism which every Mercan knows is synonymous with evil...
Much like socialized medicine (we have the VA), the US already has UBI. We have food stamps, welfare, and a couple other subsidies. Socialism isn't what made these previous incarnations horrible failures. It's was the overseers that run them, and the people receiving them. If there is even the slightest manner in which a government organization can be abused, people will abuse it on both sides of the line.
There is an alternative. The whole notion of UBI depends on the assumption that goods must be purchased. But if they are getting made for essentially free (after costs of capital investment have been recovered; also think in terms of renewable energy and resource-recycling), then why should there be any charge for those goods? Logically, if the goods can be made for free, and obtained for free, an income isn't really quite as important as the OP indicates.
This conflicts with the notion that we should not punish those that have done nothing wrong in order to reward those that have done nothing right. What you're doing isn't avoiding an armed revolution, you're attempting to put the government on the wrong side of it.
Where it runs is irrelevant. You still need architects and user support. You still need migration consultants. And you still need custom code written...
Indeed, and all of those positions rule out a huge percentage of IT workers. If you cannot code, interface with humans, or are not an SME, then you're out of the game. IT workers with the initiative to evolve their skills into devops survive. I personally want to thank AWS for making the EC2 API so convoluted that it is too challenging for normal humans to operate.
Re: Recycling electronics needs to become profitable
That's an extremely capitalistic take on the issue. An equally capitalistic take would be that recycling needs to be cheaper than sourcing materials from the ground. I'm not really for or against either.
A better approach would be something along the lines of Apple's LIAM, where the philosophy is simply that old phones need to be recycled so that future manufacturing can be sustained if resources become unavailable or scarce.

You mean I have to switch to an Android to steal Teslas? I'm sorry, but that's a deal breaker.

No Tor, Freenet. That's all that needs to be said.
How are they doing this so long without profit?

Are we really at the point where trying to expose criminals is itself a crime? What the fuck is going on?
In it's most simplistic form, the principle is: "You cannot break the law in order to enforce the law."

I'd rather wait for a bus than use either of these services. At least the driver lets me drink my beer in peace.

The driver could well be a deaf and dumb guy who can drive, and that would be it.
So what happens if the passenger or the driver has a medical emergency, or the vehicle is involved with in a wreck?
If the deaf and dumb driver has an accident that causes him to lose sight, I have it on good authority that he'll sure play a mean pinball.
