Bullshit. There is no way they declined this channel BECAUSE it's black people. They declined it because there isn't enough demand to pay the carriage fee. Go find a new home troll.
No that's different because the CBO projected costs were based on actual math versus the fuzzy math used by this climate report. While I agree that catastrophic climate change would devastate the world economy, the real all time low here is calling this science.
"no convincing alternative explanation" for the changing climate other than "human activities, especially emissions of greenhouse gases."
Really? Well I'll be a monkey's uncle...the whole of nature pales in comparison to the power of what amounts to some smart ants.
And moreso, he also pilots Boeing's rockets. Because why else would a Boeing security review also be triggered? Oh wait maybe it's just a random abuse of power that someone wanted an excuse to run up an expense account.
So if I come up with a channel of butts farting 24x7 I should be allowed to coerce Charter into including that in their channel line up? Wow you are first class stupid.
The amazing advances in technology that have come with figuring out how to make a phone that thin yet powerful far outweigh my need for slightly longer battery life. They can keep on doing what they are doing until it's no longer making productive advancements in technology..then and only then would I want any major player to stop and say "Hey, this is good enough, let's focus on making battery life better by sacrificing size"
You may act like you're here to save the day Tim, but intelligent people know better. Keep your personal political bullshit out of it and go find a new hobby.
sales say yes. granted they may not have an equivalent choice that has a higher battery life with thicker phone (equivalent meaning an iPhone XS or Galaxy S9). But people buying millions and millions of a product will generally trump any theoretical market...at least until someone is brave enough to break out of the mold.
Or don't make major design changes based on this reviewer's anecdotes. My phone lasts all day if I'm not on it constantly and for several hours even under heavy use. This whole article lost me when it says the problem with batteries is that we can't put our phones down. What does that have to do with newer phones having shorter battery life? The article write/reviewer is a moron.
"we need" is exactly the problem I have with this jerk's entire proposal. He doesn't speak for me. Nor does he speak for some altruistic interest. He speaks for his own interest. GFY
I'm just saying even in the summary they figured it was deer causing it. The results of the study showed that was true. My comment is on the discrepancy between "They suspected elk, cattle, and most prominently deer were eating the new shoots" and "The results were surprising".
I'm sorry but I agree with this being a concern of free speech. There are many organizations (Political Action Councils?) that do just this. When was the last time you saw a mud slinging commercial about a candidate and how horrible they are for doing X Y or Z. Or how Prop ABC is wrong for your state because it will destroy everything you hold dear? Not that I like any of that content, but I will die defending the right of people to push it.
Scientists: "Hey this tree thing is shrinking...we believe it's because deer and other animals eat it...let's test that!" *results show deer eating really was the cause* Scientists: WE ARE SO SURPRISED THAT WE WERE RIGHT!
Interesting...the WEF is made up of people who actually truly care about the business economy which is exactly what this is a rating for...thanks for that!
Because that was the way to make the headline sound like a bigger deal than it really is. When the two companies involved have tens of thousands of employees, one company having hired 46 of the other's former employees is both insignificant and boring. It's not news for employees in one big high tech company to move on to another one.
I'm not saying it isn't a standard for a reason...it's just not that big a standard to live up to. None of the other standards are particular exacting either. They have standards, period. It would be an exacting standard to require them to hop on one foot for the entire delivery...or have the amazon logo tattooed on their face...
Should they belong? That doesn't seem like the right word....Do they belong? Should they be in schools? The headline just bugs me too much to read the rest and I'm usually not that worried about that sort of thing.

I completely support everything you just said.
I'm referring to the post I replied to.
I mean if this was true that'd be a pretty big coup for you...look forward to seeing the story break in the next couple weeks.

While this may seem off-topic, it may hold more insight into this article's topic than one might think.

Why was that suprising?

I clearly don't identify with japanese workers because the couple times I've quit I was in no way scared. Probably more secretly gleeful.

Closed toed shoes...probably lead with something a little more exacting. But I do like that a remote place like this has access to Amazon.
I belong five right now. Should I be them next time I will let you know.
Apparently so....they fixed it. Should I belong surprised?

I appreciate the call out on me not reading the article. But alas, still a failure of management. Not fired by a robot.
