People will need transport, so I will just become an Uber driver. No danger there, right?
And about the taste of the burgers. McD is not doing that bad and I would not say that they deliver a high quality burger. The same goes for Pizaa Hut and any of the other chains. ALL of them.
And you can bet they will not be 30 cents cheaper. It is just 20 cents more to the owner and 10 more for marketing and he does not care you are not his customer.
Because if you cared about taste, you were not his customer (or any of the chains customer) anyway.
Indeed, safety is not the issue, otherwise it would see them used way more. As someone living in Europe and a company that pays my public transport (so money is not even an issue) what realy stops me fom using buses is frequency copared to distance/time I need to travel.
If I need to trave 1 hour, I have no issue have 4 per hour. It ads about 10% on average to my travel time. If I have to traver 5 minutes, 4 per hour will almost double my travel time.
So what can you do to enhance this? More buses that are smaller. Have them pass every 2 minutes and you bet I would use it all the time. More would mean also smaller busses. That would enhance the getting on and off time.
It would also mean a lot more drivers and thus a much higher cost. That till we have driverless cars and can fire those expensive drivers and kill them, so they ar not a burden on society anymore.
You must be extremely lousy at history. 1) There is no 'both sides'. It is two fratboys kibbeling and you think they are fighting. It is nothing more than banter. 2) It is politics as usual. Divide and conquer. It has been used before and it still works.
But it is nice to see the sheep voting for the wolf or the hyena and thinking they have a voice.
The real issue is that people think there is a two-party system. And that people think that two is enough variation in politics. Try opening an ice cream store with 2 flavors.
Politics should not be 'winner takes all'. It should be 'All are winners'. That means compromising and talking together and finding a solution that is best for as many as possible.
And yes, that means that you will upset some people and most likely all people will be upset at one point or another.
I just put a tape over my camera. If I were less lazy, I would desolder the camera and the microphone. I have never ever had a use for them anyway. For now duct tape is good enough.
It is not about child porn anyway, just about the content mafia.
And then they won't get the resources. When you file a lawsuit concerning one person, many courts in the world will laugh in your face. Why it worked here was they, most likely, went after a store that offers free Internet to their customers and the reasoning is that the store makes money from it. Making mony from copyright is followed up on, handing it out free is not. At least in Belgium and I could see that being the case in other countries as well.
OK, as you seem to be the to-go person on this matter, why do you not tell us what the solution is, how to implement it and what sites use it already and what is being done to have it be used as a standard.
Not saying it is not happening, but in Belgium that would be illegal (unless you have a store card) When I buy something the store will not be able to link it to me as I do not have a store card. When I do the payment with the card, they are not allowed to store the card details. I have worked for several retailers and they don't.
The CC company gets the payment data, but does not get the items that are bought. So they do not know if I bought condoms or milk.
The CC company has a lot of different types of stores, so they will be able to see and guestimating what was bought. e.g. if you bought something for a few 100EUR at Swissair, you most likely bought tickets. Now here is the fun fact: In Belgium they are NOT allowed to do any analysis on this data (In The Netherlands, they are allowed to do so) so no promotion that goes along the way of "we see you buy stuff a lot online" or "you mainly take out cash'. And yes, they respect that. Otherwise they will loose their license to do business.
And if the police or similar would ask anything like that, they would be laughed away. I have police officers seen escorted out of a building, because they did not have a search warrant with them. Yes, we put the data aside and handed it over with the correct search warrant.
Because here the police can request something like that, but the company has the right to say no. And that in a country where having an ID with you is required by law.
I just hope it hold up till a final ruling. I also am pretty sure that posting a 'download your child porn her as anon dor free with a coffee' will not be a legal slogan for anybody.
What is interesting is that providers need to keep connection data for two years. So if they see somebody downloading childporn from everyday at 08:07-08:09 at the stations Starbucks, it is still possible to get a court order to get more data and set up an operation to arrest the person.
Just a bit more work. And that is a good thing as it will prevent random searches. A thing Germany has a bit of experience in and the USoA are getting aware of it.
Please be nice to other countries. Don't make fun of them. You might need them when you need to fight for your freedom. Would not be the first time you fought an opressive governement and not the first time e.g. the French would come to your aid.
On the one side I am happy if Apple would stand up and defend the right to privacy. On the other hand I am sorry that a company can dictate what a country can or can not do.
I keep relizing that, no matter how interestingthis is, the people have no say in any of it. Because this time the company is the good guy, but what if they are not?
The USA are an electricity hog: with only 5% of the world population the USA consume 25% of the world electricty. More to the point, the USA are well behind on "renewals" as a source for energy production (not just electricity but energy overall) at about 11% of the total. To provide a comparison, consider that solar and wind are much less able at producing electricity when compared to nuclear, coal and natural gas (figures for specific efficiency and load factor of these are available on the web). This might change in favor of solar and wind as technology improves... In any case, 25 GW of solar capacity is roughly equivalent to 12 TWh/year which is a mere 0.3% of total electricity production in the USA or thereabout... see https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs... for more details...
Replying as this is interesting and you posted as AC and some people might miss it.
If you need accurate time, would a wall display clock really be the thing you are going for? I have an alarm clock and the sole reason I bought one was because I keep forgetting to change the summer/winter time and either come in too early or too late.
As nice as it is, I only look at the minutes and any other clock would be acutrate enough. moreover, since a few years I hardly use it as I have a phone with me that keeps the time. I also spend most of my time looking at a screen that has a time.
So as nice as it would be to have a cheap one that would be able to do what is requested, it is at most a nice-to-have not a must-have and if OP really thinks it is a must have, start selling one.
In all other cases: A standard clock wall is accurate enough. If precise time is needed, a clock wall will not be a good solution. Those who need a solution will already have one.
I agree with you. OTOH they are looking at a solution. The thing with passwords and logins is that we have too many.
'Use porgram X as it is a great password manager' is not always a solution.When I look at the passwords and logins I need to remember, it becomes silly. And no, I am NOT able to install software on all the things I do access sites.
For private use I can, most of the times, select my login. For work? Not so much. At one job I had I had 8 different loginsand 4 passwords I could not change. "But that is unsafe". I know, however that was what it was. Hardly a reason to quit. Then the stoopid rule of changing the password every 30 days. Not 31, 30. So I started using easier to guess passwords, for obvious reasons.
Then the ones for my private life. I have home, email, bank and a gazillion different websites. Some I do only access once per year.
The whole issue with password security is that everybody only looks at their own website. If you have only one login and password, it all makes sense. If you have 100, it does not.
And I am of the few people who has 5 passwords 1) Super secret for home access and main email. Only three places it is used. 2) Banking, website and DNS related 3) Work 4) Web stores where I order stuff 5) All the rest (e.g./;)
Now you can call me stupid to not have a separate password for each and every site. You would be right on a technical level. However security is a social issue. What IT people have been looking for is a technical solution for a social problem. They almost always do not factor in the weakest link and that is the human. Then they blame that human for not adapting to technology. If a chair is too tall, you do not ask people to change their height, you change the chair. So if password security does not work, do not change the human, change the system. And what I see is that they are at least trying to do that and look in alternative directions. Will it be a fix for all? Obviously not, but that should not discourage them from looking (and fail a few times) before they get it right.
As the US is bigger than e.g. Denmark, just saying they are largest means not that much to me. Sure, it is a lot, but how much is it per person and where will they be on the list then?
And 29.4% of new energy sounds nice as well (wind was even higher with 39%), but what is it in the total amount of energy and where is the US in that (trow in wind if you like)
This reads like the average CEO presentation where a lot of numbers look nice, but mean nothing. At least not really.
So I would like to see: 1) Numbers per person. 2) Compare it to ALL of the energy (including car fuel) not only new installs
how many ads your YouTube account has blocked recentl
Does that mean that if you are not logged in, you will not affected? Because I have not noticed anything. I watch about 50-100 videos per day, but I (almost) never log in. I just use RSS to be updated about the channels I follow. No need to log in. That said, I watch most videos in a frame. I just link to my website (Source http://houghi.org/yt.php?code) and see no ads with adblock there when watching e.g. http://houghi.org/yt.php?v=BBJ... (Random video)

It is the ideal feeding ground to get someone into power that promises to solve it all by blaming one group.
It has happened before. It could happen again. Due to Godwins law, I am not allowed to reveal who it was.

Why pay money if they work for a bowl of rice?
So why is it connected to the Internet? And who thought that would be a good idea?

You are aware that ammendements mean nothing (or any law or constitution) if it isn't enforced.
