Typical Liberal-hater can't see FUD from the fossil fuel industry for what it is.
In this case, the issue of climate affecting emissions is ignored.
Gives the game away really.
Amazing a guy operating in Costa Rica ends up being prosecuted in the US (after bring arrested in Spain).
Sounds like the currency version of Kim Dotcom: nothing to do with the US but they insist on playing Corrupt Global Cop.
These stealth updates were previously flagged as Win10 related, but yesterday I got an undifferentiated update that required me to click on the More Information link.... And it was an update to the Win10 upgrade wizard. What was updated they didn't say. But 35 years of experience with Microsoft makes it a reasonable possibility that my system would soon be installing Win10 all by itself.
I don't waste this much time or thought on my MacBook Air or my Chromebook.
Maybe that's part of the psychology: so much effort put in I risk feeling "invested"?
The increase happened while cell phones were still either non-existent or very rare.... and did not continue to increase.
However, cell phones have only been ubiquitous for the past 15 years and they may not be king enough to reveal a longer lead time or effects on an age group typically slow to adopt new things (pretty much anyone over 20 who isn't already an early adopter.)
In 1982 virtually no one had cell phones.
That's the point.
So brain cancer incidence in 1982 would be a useful baseline for comparison with layer years.
I didn't have a cell phone until the mid 90s.... And I'm an early adopter.
Microsoft looked for a year or two there as though they might have learned that behaving like user-disregarding monopolist was a bad idea.
Apparently not.
Old habits die hard.
"Beyond reasonable doubt" is gradually being eroded. There are crimes where you're guilty until proven innocent.
If the police find kiddy porn in your house, in many jurisdictions you have to prove you didn't put it there and that you don't own it. Or you're toast.
Just like real driving! In many cities there are Street name signs for all the side streets, but the 6-laner your cruising down is completely anonymous.
At an estimated $10 billion each, we could make 3.5 missions to Mars.
Of course the Iraq War, at $3 trillion, would have funded 300 manned Mars missions.
Bush just pissed it up against the wall.
At Yahoo working from home was clearly party of the culture. You might call it an internal 'right'.
I'd liken it to the parking issues frequently seen locally. At several software development companies In familiar with the first sign of trouble (for devs) was when the prevailing egalitarian first-come-first-served approach to employee parking was changed to reserve parking spaces for Managers and the devs can fight it out amongst themselves. It only goes downhill after that.... When the non-coders and non-creators reserve privilege to themselves....and reduce the effective benefits to those who actually create the product and maintain it.
They still own the vast majority of desktops. Windows 10 uptake must have crossed some target number.
I also noticed that many stores are now pushing Surface Pro tablet / netbooks...and these had almost faded from view 18 months ago.
These days I mainly use Android, Chromebook and a Macbook Air........but.....
MS will creep back into control and screw us over for more decades if we let them.
"If this was permitted then cops would be able to pick any house at random and search it for whatever they suspect might be in there."
Terrorism....there now do exactly that.
My understanding of the 5th Amendment is that you can't be compelled to testify against yourself. But anything you own is evidence (potentially) and is fair game. Maybe if the hard drives were connected directly to his brain that could avoid being scrutinized. Will this act as a spur for developing intra-cranial, encrypted data storage accessed by though alone? That would be interesting when it comes to it...and it will one day.
Agreed. It has everything to do with spying on anyone who challenges the status quo - legally, peacefully and legitimately. This isn't about terrorists. It's about a ruling elite who want to counter and suppress legal opposition.
Not quite the same. The hours of service rules are there for safety. Some people cheat. The imposition of a standard in this case is to make cheating harder.
Not quite the same as a cheaper hearing aid.
If I had a basic income I could rely on, If probably get busy with a range of volunteer community projects I currently don't have time for because I work all day making money for someone else who will fire me the minute I can be replaced with a machine.
Banning smoking isn't ridiculous. Smokers don't have a right to fill the air we all share with their filth. It's an unwanted imposition by selfish, stupid (for smoking at all) people.
Stop it.
It's form is usually religious: some "authority" says something that is taken to be true by people who, themselves, don't know (and perhaps can't know). After that.....all the evidence in the world doesn't matter because ignorant delusion (a.k.a. "faith") has been deemed to be a virtue.......thus protecting the unfounded belief from the truth.

..... Those $35K robot will cost quite a bit in lost sales. Neo-Liberal corporate tools forget their customers are people, too.

This. +1

Parts of Australia are nice, but they also tend to be very expensive to live in. New Zealand is a nicer place overall.

.... Unless they ban such devices and harass and imprison - and label as a terrorist or criminal - anyone who makes or uses one.

Eh? Austria is in Europe. Maybe you were thinking of Australia?

Why I've never used Cortana......right......there. Boom. You can NOT trust Microsoft to let you do what you want to do.
