Read what to Google is saying: they do t delete your history for ads, just for search history. Which I'm oddly fine with. I realize Google needs ad revenue to continue offering services that I use, such as YouTube, search, and Gmail. However, I am very aware that their revenue model is based on tracking me closely. There's no way they'll let you delete your data for ads; FFS, this is a multinational US corporation. If you don't want their trackers, don't use their services. I know it's impossible to avoid adsense, but do you want to pay a subscription fee for every site you visit? It seems anathema, but we all used to do this with newspapers and porn. Who buys either of those products now? Tracking sucks, but unfortunately shit costs money. Even this site: I've been here quite a while and never paid them a dime put of pocket, but my page views have indirectly paid the editors and hosting fees.
Umm... not only does my code make professionals cry, but I'm not even a twitter user and I could grok this easily enough. How is this confusing, they simply list the user number ranges that were registered and how to view the bot accounts. What I would have liked to see is some information on how they were able to register so many accounts in such a short time. Whoever owns this twitter bonnet must also have access to a reasonably sized botnet; there's no way only a few IP addresses could register that many accounts that quickly. Perhaps that is the reason all the accounts were registered so quickly, but it seems like a poor strategy to avoid detection. I guess they are assuming twitter has no interest in dropping 1% of their users banning a single botnet.
I don't think any reliable figures exist for Intel's R&D budget, much less the grant money they receive, but you can be sure there is plenty of government interference applied. I doubt they are influencing the direction of research, but the final product certainly has seen government influence.
Taiwan actually has more capacity than the US.
http://m.chinapost.com.tw/taiwan/2016/03/02/459646/Taiwan-overtakes.htm/ shows Taiwan with 21.7% of the world total capacity; North America as a whole with 14.2% and China at 9.7%. Intel isn't locating the true cutting edge processes in Asia, but claiming taiwan is a distant second list a laughable claim. They aren't cranking out xeons, but the ARM market is a huge part of the cpu game.
I would actually argue that the problem with gaming isn't misogyny, it's that the entire culture is overwhelmed by a toxic minority. Women are an easy target for the mouthbreathers, but I gave up playing online FPSs simply because I was sick of constantly hearing the n word and other crap being spewed over voice chat. Yes, women do get singled out, but focusing on strictly misogyny rather than the culture as a whole will be less effective overall. Not only will women feel more welcome, but others will as well. As a straight male I'm not singled out, but I still quit online play. And LGBT individuals, at least in my experience, seem to attract more ire than women. The creeps aren't hitting on them, but they seem to ratchet the hate levels right up to Westboro Baptist levels almost instantly.
Well, I appreciate the fact that I'm unlikely to run into child porn with a casual Google search. I think that the Web will migrate to separate levels: Facebook crap for unimportant things and tor for anything important. The way I see it, increased restrictions on something the average person views as a free-for-all will only encourage end-to-end encryption. The tighter they grip, the more subnets slip through their fingers. Bastards like child pornographers may escape the net, but there is always a price to be paid for civil liberties. Increasing the restrictions on online expression is a little late; the cat is out of the bag. However, the average person isn't prepared for civil disobedience, so the UK will likely be successful here. Sad.
So why can't existing gas stations install superchargers, or something similar? They all have electric service, and H2 pumps would necessitate installing new tanks and new pumps. What's cheaper, installing electric chargers or digging up half the parking lot to put a new tank in? Also of note, a H2 tank is a pressure vessel, there's no way it won't be significantly more expensive than tank for a fuel that is liquid at atmospheric pressure. Sure, the infrastructure from the consumer end of connecting a hose to the car appears similar, but the cost to energy companies to convert to hydrogen is greater than converting to electric. Plus, transporting hydrogen would still require tankers, while the transportation cost of electric current is covered by power rates, which include generation and grid expenses. And tankers would still be needed; it it was feasible to connect stations via pipeline it would already be done.
Oh no, heaven forbid people exist in this world that can't afford a brand new phone every 9 months-1 year! Those dirty, stinking poor people, wanting to pretend they have a smartphone. Pssh, we all no the only true smartphones are the ones released in the last 6 months. Better gear up for a new car, or did you just sign a lease?
How exactly do smaller ships solve the problem, though? Instead of 1 ship burning 96k, now there's two ships 1/2 the size, each likely burning over 48k gallons/day. Sure, 96k gallons is a ghastly sounding number, but when considering pollution it is better to consider consumption of the entire fleet.
There actually is a hidden cost of the fuel, both I disposal of the waste as well as consumption of fissionable elements. Uranium is just as non-renewable as fossil fuels, and the price can fluctuate just as wildly. For instance, the area I hunt antelope is completely abandoned, the nearest town died in the 80s with the collapse of the uranium market. Just because you don't see the price everyday on gas station signs doesn't mean that nuclear fuels are immune to market forces. While I am pro nuclear, overly optimistic propaganda does almost as much harm as environmentalist fear mongering.
I agree with you, but it is worth keeping in mind that when Japanese vehicles were first being introduced into this country they were built much better than their domestic counterparts. Granted, they were cheap econoboxes, but they were well built econoboxes. Now that they're established, the build quality of a Honda or Toyota isn't that much better than a Ford or Chevy. I'm sure Tesla has studied this, they know they need an excellent safety and reliability record if they wish to become a major player in the market. In the long run, it's better business to take a small loss on a recall than deal with lost sales from bad publicity.
Damn though, it's refreshing to see a company looking more than a few quarters ahead.
While I agree with the sentiment, who exactly is the innovative startup that could pull off not only getting a passenger jet approved, but also convince airlines to buy it and airports to completely redesign their terminals? While it is a tech field, aerospace doesn't really work like that. How long did it take for Honda to get their jet into the marketplace, again?
You do realize it's more dangerous to be a farmer than a police officer in the US? Stop propagating this bullshit that cops are on the front lines, EMS staff are in way more danger and nobody's wringing their hands about then.
Really??! I live in Wyoming, tell me how the hell we can soak this state? It takes 40 acres to support a single cow, on average, and there isn't enough water in most areas to grow cash crops. Are you suggesting we pump water all the way from the ocean so I can have a nice green yard? Because the only thing I can manage to irrigate is a 1/4 acre garden, and I'm picky about what I plant.
That six year backlog doesn't seem to apply if you have enough money to grease the proper hands so that your patent magically seems to get processed faster.
So quick, does anybody know the secret recipe to having an autistic kid? Cause I could use a few extra bucks courtesy of the american taxpayer right about now.
But hey, have you seen those motherfucking MAGNET BRACELETS they sell at the mall/flea markets? They're supposed to cure anything. So therefore, if I have magnets flowing through my blood, the effects should be even stronger!
I don't know if I'd even say a "lot" of mileage. Oftentimes, the break-in period for the engine is the same as the break in period for the clutch/transmission. After that, you're just introducing extraneous strain on the transmission by subjecting it to the large amounts of torque that can be transferred by the clutch. Floating the gears introduces less strain, and in the long run is less likely to cause damage to the vehicle. I've known drivers who float the gears and others who use the clutch on every single shift; the drivers who floated the gears tended to go longer between major transmission/clutch repairs.
Speaking as a current smoker, I would like to call BS on
they fumble around lighting the smoke in the first place, take their eyes off the road to tap off the ash and if you drop it in your lap you bounce around trying to avoid it
. 95% of the time, when I light a smoke in the car I don't even look at it, my hand's are just used to positioning themselves where they are needed. The other 5% of the time, I'm smoking 100's, which are longer than what I'm used to. Additionally, unless I'm driving a vehicle which is different from the one I usually drive, I'm similarly accustomed to ashing either out the window or in the ashtray without looking. It's not a distraction, unless you're an idiot and drop the damn thing in your lap; in which case you swerve uncontrollably trying to put it out. However, this has never happened to me, nor has it happened when I have been a passenger in a car. This leads me to think that it is somewhat rare.
If the commercials are actually funny...I'll catch them on YouTube tomorrow.
If you do end up watching them on YouTube, then the advertisers will still have succeeded. They care less about where there ads are viewed, just the number of eyeballs viewing them. The reason they focus on the Superbowl is that it's a media extravaganza, and the ads are a big deal, simply because they're in the superbowl. So, a superbowl ad will more likely have more views on YouTube than just some random ad from TV.
That's just the good old All-American tradition of coming up with euphemisms for everything. What we now know as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder was once known as shell shock. Being a fatass is now obesity. Old people are senior citizens. Now lab-rats are called 'animal models'. It's a vicious cycle designed to protect middle-class Americans from anything they might think is even remotely scary.
If you're going to be a grammar Nazi, at least try to be an effective one. 'Queue' means line up, cue means "An action or event that is a signal for somebody to do something". Therefore, cue is the proper term here, he just misspelled it. You, on the other hand, managed to make yourself look like a jackass. Way to go man, way to go...
You know, it really wasn't using both hands at the same time that was the problem. At least for me, the real problem was coordinating the two feet at the same time. Unless we're driving a motorbike...
