BUT YOU CAN'T OFFER THAT FOR THE WHOLE FUCKING WORLD IN A NATIONAL SYSTEM AND STILL MAINTAIN A GOOD LIVING STANDARD YOURSELF!
The tragedy of the uncommons. Social justice is a wonderful idea, but the devil is in the details. If the OTHER countries in the Levant (Saudi Arabia / Iran as the big actors) would take significant refugees and place them in an environment that is more akin to their home culture (i.e., Islam of various flavors) then the burdens on the western social democracies would be reasonable. They don't and the burdens aren't reasonable.
And if you think this is bad, wait another 20 years for the environment in the equatorial belt to degrade where it can't feed the population. Then what do you expect the rest of the world to do?
Us guys (Americans are always guys) have pickup trucks with 100 gallon strap tanks. Cuz Zombies.
They take a while to fill up. So we needs sustenance. Just chill out and have a beer.
That's the big problem with Tesla - putting charging stations near fucking Starbucks. Now if they put them in front of liquor stores like God suggested nobody would give a shit.
Of course, if you all manned up an used real cars and trucks you wouldn't have this problem, would you?
Mr Prosser: But, Mr Dent, the plans have been available in the local planning office for the last nine months. Arthur: Oh yes, well as soon as I heard I went straight round to see them, yesterday afternoon. You hadn’t exactly gone out of your way to call attention to them had you? I mean like actually telling anybody or anything. Mr Prosser: But the plans were on display Arthur: On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them. Mr Prosser: That’s the display department. Arthur: With a torch. Mr Prosser: The lights had probably gone out. Arthur: So had the stairs. Mr Prosser: But look, you found the notice, didn’t you? Arthur: Yes yes I did. It was on display at the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying beware of the leopard.
Because there is no financial incentive to do so. You are asking for a library function to be created from a whole swath of now likely non existent companies. Who is going to pay for that? The non existent companies? You? Me? Dropbox?
Sounds like something Wikipedia might do but it's hardly a trivial task. There are dozens of web sites purporting to have old manuals and other files. Half the time you gel malware. The other half you get the wrong file.
Perhaps the Library of Congress? Bill Gates? Ivanka?
It is a huge undertaking and one that won't ever happen.
Yep, my 2011 17 inch MBP - old enough so Sierra isn't an option. Has a Thunderbolt port.
Of course, Apple acts like it only sold ten of the things so it has no interest in updating that particular model. But I'm not bitter. Not in the slightest.
Actually Sennheiser is pretty good. Snapped the band on a three year old set of 380's. They fixed it for free. Now, if you ran over it, I suspect they would take a somewhat different view of the problem.
But that is one of the differences between a high end product and the great morass of stuff. Aftermarket service. Of course, how important that is depends on the initial price and propensity to break, YMMV, expensive doesn't always give you good value.
This won't happen for another generation or so. You have to change ownership patterns of expensive capital (cars), expectations of people and living habits. Look how quickly ride sharing has evolved. Not. Sure it happens but except in a few (very high density) areas, it's hardly made a dent in the use or ownership of private cars.
Now, if oil goes to $200 a barrel again, that will help - but not a whole lot since everything is going to get more expensive.
First you have to get the tech out of late alpha. Then you have beta. Then you have Rev 1. Not much is really going to change at a society level until Rev 3.
Then somebody will invent an antigravity device and mess up things again.
Enter a passphrase into the form. You will need to enter this passphrase whenever you attempt to decrypt this text. Do not forget this passphrase because Evernote does not store this information anywhere.
Sounds really user friendly. Typing in a passphrase every time I want to read a note.
No thanks.
I liked Evernote in the beginning but they've been getting more and more obnoxious as time rolls on. Interstitial ads? On a paid subscription?
This shit will end under Trump. We should have a return to a more traditional, freedom loving old-school American lifestyle where the government isn't all up your ass about every little thing.
Assuming you have a major account at Goldman-Sachs or similar wealth. For you little guys, not so much.
Well you don't know much. Airspace is a public asset. Rules are set by the FAA (in the US) and something along those lines in the UK. You don't own the sky....
Nope. Won't work. First, it won't work for video (except perhaps some low quality variants). Secondly, modern DLSRs take 10-40 megabyte files every tenth of a second. You need an awfully robust wireless network to support this. Something not typically found in a trench in the middle of a war zone.
A number of us have ended up getting the older MBPs once we found out that Apple just laid another Mac Book Air. We had been sitting on the sidelines but the current direction wasn't very appealing so we went with the 2015 machines that had 'normal' ports and the MagSafe connector. That gets us a couple more years in the future. Who knows, by then all PCs will be gold plated and YYYUUUGE. It might even be the year of Linux on the desktop.
Just bought a 2015 15 inch MBP - figured I have one more round before I give up on Apple entirely. It's a nice machine, nothing as good as it could be for a pro level tool, but functional.
But increasingly Apple is deciding that the 'pro' line is for people to hang out in Starbucks and do whatever it is they do intently peering at Facebook.
It was a nice ride, perhaps in 4 or 5 years when this laptop gets old and flaky Windows 11 will be pretty good. And Bernie Sanders cyborg will be president. And the USA will be great again.
I think I'm just going to get depressed. That usually works.
How about being stuck on a road in a snowstorm without communication?
You're right - if you're stuck in a snowstorm a fire can save your life! Good thinking, Samsung
CAPTCHA: accuracy
If you can't start a fire with the typical objects in a modern automobile, you need to go watch a couple of reruns of McGyver or something. Talk about portable bombs.....
No it won't. Single payer healthcare in the US will be run by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Security (CMS). A wretched hive of scum and villainy.
An intensely bureaucratic, irrational and bloated system that will most likely keep most of bad points about American medicine. And add a couple new ones. You think the giant insurance companies are going to go away? Of course not. They will simply shed their skins and turn into 'third party' administrators of the 'single payer'. Exactly as they do now. It will be a giant shell game. Guess who is going to win and guess who's going to lose?
This is tied to your Amazon (probably Prime) account (you can't get in otherwise). If you are a bad customer,we lock you out of your account.
And then you die a slow, unpleasant death. You have no access to bulk toothpaste and clever little bits of Chinese electronics. Not to mention movies and books that no one has ever heard of (for good reason). Or whatever else we tacked onto the Prime subscription last week (I keep forgetting just what it was).

Why would old carpet be a crime? Disgusting, yes. Perhaps felonious bad taste, but a real criminal act?
I don't think so.....

Since we're moving towards self driving cars, the next step for TESLA should be to have the car unplug and move itself after having completed charge.
Just as soon as Tesla sells the little robot that unplugs the car as an accessory. Driving off with the wires still attached seems, well, expensive.
Y'all aren't real Americans are you?

Bit rot.
Roll another one,
Just like the other one.
You've been holding to it
and sure would like a hit.
Don't. Bogart. That. Joint. My friend.
Pass it over to me.
Don't Bogart that joint my friend,

Hardware gone - even the most unsophisticated Luser will suspect something's wrong here.
Silent hack - keep on trucking, I'm cool, my laptop is encrypted.

But sometimes it's worth it.
Amazing. Manufacturer doesn't replace lost objects, has one year warranty*.
Shocked. Just shocked at this shameless corporate behavior.
* possibly longer in more civilized regions of the world
Except that not the line. It's 'badges - we don't need no badges'.
And yes, it's a great film.
