Hahaha Uhm no. $5 to "aggregate" my streaming services? LOL. I "aggregated" them by putting all those apps into the same folder on my iPad. There, saved $5/mo. Wow, Idiots.
Yeah, but if you don't pay it they'll throttle your streaming services so they are unusable. Maybe not at first...but soon.
"People who eat an added three or four eggs a week or 300 milligrams of dietary cholesterol per day" "a single large egg contains about 186 milligrams of cholesterol"
So, if a single egg contains 186 mg of cholesterol, how does three or four eggs a week add up to 300 mg per day???
I'm extremely interested to learn how their "machine learning and artificial intelligence" is going to be able to determine whether an image is shared with permission or without permission. This seems like a tremendous leap forward in AI capabilities.
On Comcast in Atlanta...most sites working fine. Some, however, have been unreachable for the past hour or so. Traceroutes to affected sites all crap out at Level 3 servers.
It depends on where you live and what type of movies you like. I'm lucky enough to live in an area that has multiple theaters that specialize in independent and foreign films. I've used my MoviePass over 60 times since the first of the year. If you live in a small town, you wouldn't have nearly as many options, but in most large metro areas, there's more available than people realize.
They won't be developing "autonomous lethal weapons." They'll merely be developing autonomous technology for a company that makes lethal weapons. Nothing to see here, move along.
I love how this keeps coming up as if crypto-mining is going to happen INSTEAD OF advertising. Kind of like how cable came about and you would pay for the service instead of having commercials. Sure, maybe some advertising goes away at first. But it will come back as bad as ever.
It's not difficult at all, actually. The U.S. Constitution is pretty clear on what the purpose of copyright is. The protections afforded to creators of artistic works are granted for a LIMITED time...not for free, but in exchange for an agreement from the creators that their works will enter the public domain at the end of that time. The content industry has made it abundantly clear that they have no intentions whatsoever in honoring their end of the bargain. As such, the public has ABSOLUTELY no moral obligation continue to respect their "rights".
The threat is that they will publish a list of police officers, politicians journalists, etc. aligned with the Zetas. The competing cartels then kill them.
I don't know. Does Quantas NEED 3,300 more employees? Wouldn't offering employees pay rates at the top of the industry attract the best employees available? After all, that's the argument the elites use to justify seven or eight figure incomes for CEOs. I mean, they HAVE to pay that much in order to attract the best candidates.
Sure the Ferrari has added features, but is it really worth $100,000.00 or more than a Kia, given that the parts aren't that different, the assembly time is not all that different
Actually, the assembly time is quite a lot different. Ferraris are built individually by hand. One of the reasons they are so expensive is that, even at such a high price, demand outstrips supply. They only make a couple of thousand cars a year.
the Government is not a regular customer. They didn't go buy a thousand or so PS3s off the shelf.
Of course not, that would be un-American. Instead, they contracted Boeing or Halliburton, who ran their usual act of hiring a circle of private consultants taking massive cuts of the pie, and bought the PS3s for $750,000 a piece instead of $399 and stuck the taxpayers with the bill.
However, as to the length of the symphonies, I'd be willing to be the majority of symphonies are under 30 minutes. I don't think any symphony reached 40+ minutes in length until the Eroica.
Out of the 26 symphonies mentioned, only Beethoven 1&2 were written before Eroica.
All four of the Brahms symphonies are 45-60 minutes.
Tchaikovsky 4-6 are all 45 minutes or longer, not sure about 1-3 but I'd be willing to bet they're well over 30 minutes.
Some of the Sibelius symphonies are pretty obscure, but the 2 well known ones are both pushing an hour (and given Sibelius' style I'd be surprised if any of the others are less than 45)
The only ones that are considerably less than 40 minutes are some of the Beethoven...1 and 2 for sure, 7 is shortish...3,6, and 9 are all big, long works...have to admit I'm not that familiar with 4 or 8.
This is great news, but that's 26 complete symphonies, probably something along the lines of 17 hours of music (at an average of 40 minutes each...that's probably a little low actually). Add in rehearsal times and I have serious doubts about the feasibility of doing this for $13,000. I wish them luck, but I'd rather have less music at a higher quality than more with an amateur-level ensemble.
but because they settled out of court the lawyers got most of the settlement money, not the people
Horseshit.
The lawyers took the same percentage from the settlement as they would have had they gone to court and won. And that percentage was not a secret amount undisclosed to the people who willingly made themselves a part of the class action. They were perfectly free to go after Paypal on their own if they didn't like the terms.
When someone does this sort of hacking/eavesdropping/snooping to a government official, it's called "a shocking invasion of...privacy and a violation of law."
Invasion of privacy, huh? That's interesting, since according to Republican politicians and the judges they put on the bench there is no such thing as a right to privacy.
If you have to go to court, be sure to tell the judge you learned your lesson and the next time you go out drinking you'll drive.
This is the kind of horseshit that pisses me off to no end. It's just like the trend with colleges now going "dry" and banning alcohol all over campus. It doesn't do a damn thing to stop students from drinking, it just forces them off-campus to do it, leading to more drunk driving. Brilliant!
I'm fairly certain the definition of torture doesn't change simply upon decree of the Bush administration. Just because they issue a statement that "waterboarding is not torture" doesn't make it true.
Ebay owns Skype. Ebay has an absolutely HORRIBLE track record with regards to protecting the privacy of their users. Ebay's policy has long been to comply in full with the request of ANY police agency without question. No warrants or explanation needed. So, it's not surprising that they would go out of their way to help spy on Skype users.
The problem with the stock explanation is that it's very often just wrong. Ebay's current emphasis on big sellers at the expense of individuals is losing them money, just like Obama's FISA sellout is losing him votes.
Sure, but not necessarily a NET loss. How do you know the extra money Ebay is getting from the big sellers isn't more than what they're losing from individuals? How do you know Obama's shift toward center on the FISA issue isn't gaining more votes than he's losing? And these questions become even bigger unknowns when you look at their long-term implications as opposed to only the immediate consequences.

Swarms of microdrones dispatched to kill U.S. politicians? I see no reason to rush through a preemptive ban on this technology.

Yes, well that and the fact that they had to stop taking their steroids long enough to pass the drug test.
