Okay, let's take the statistics. Blacks commit ~60% of all violent criminal offenses yet the prison population is ~40% black and ~40% white. Other statistics show similar discrepancies, with blacks being 16 times more likely to commit a crime yet only being 4 times more likely to end up in prison.
They didn't get paid, the entire premise of the ransomware failed because they chose an e-mail provider that decided they wouldn't support them. The goal wasn't to fuck anything up, it was to ransom the data and hope a portion of their "victims" didn't have a good backup plan and paid up.
The businesses technically fucked themselves by a series of bad decisions, first of all, not having backups, not having a competent IT person, running (unpatched) Windows on public systems and/or blindly installing some software, perhaps they'll reconsider their choices in the future.
It could also indicate a reduction in available jobs. You can see the true cost of increasing the minimum wages in the service industry. The reason you have those little tablets on every table right now is not because they're cheap, they're far from cheap, running about $1000/table/month. But they can reduce your workforce by about 10-25% because you're reducing the perceived wait times for your customers.
This trend of digital signage and table-side engagement, the push for restaurant apps, delivery/carside pickup etc is totally counterintuitive to the industry where you want to reduce the amount of time spent per seating so you can have more customers, yet we are now seeing a push to increase dwell time while reducing perceived wait times just because the cost to employ between health care, minimum wage increases and other regulations has become too heavy to remain profitable.
Using technology as an example of cost reduction is a poor idea. True essentials have risen in cost, it's the measure people often used to compare 19xx dollars with 2017 dollars. I used to buy bread from a fresh bakery at $0.50, now a fresh baked bread from a bakery is a luxury and will often be $7+ But even mass produced is $2.50
Look again at society. If you want to see how disproportionately white men can be and are punished simply for being male and white, go to any court but especially family court.
It's the definition of a SJW to do as such. The best thing you can do to ignore it. If you put a group of SJWs together, they'll keep creating such rules and find discrimination and hate until there is one left and that one commits suicide for self-discriminating
The reason the individuals behind the attack didn't make money and all those customers are hosed is because the email address was blocked by the email provider. That was confirmed yesterday. The rest is speculation and hyperbole by idiots without a clue.
Basically this is what happened: some idiot got their hands on some code, thought he was going to get rich and got immediately blocked by taking out his communication. The "attack" was poor because the criminals are idiots.
First of all, the article makes it seem like whites are protected while blacks aren't. That isn't the case, everyone in a group gets equal rights to censorship.
However this is a clear example of Simpson's Paradox, if you split up your sample set enough, you get contradictory results.
This is a direct result of SJW demands for censorship with a healthy dose of discrimination, you get a patchwork of rules that is neither based on word of law or common sense and can be cut and paste to fit pretty much every model.
You can boil down and extend every SJW argument using the same logic and see that what they are asking for is not protection but discrimination.
I think systemd is a Microsoft plant. It's basically INI files for Linux. Next week he'll upgrade us all to a 'central registry' and you'll need a GUI to edit it.
Unless you know what's going into the vat you can't say that for sure. Most likely something has to be done to stave off the molds, bugs and other vermin that is going to be on the factory floor and in the source product (given the source is plant material)
Keeping a lab clean is relatively easy, keeping an entire factory where food-products are grown and handled are going to attract something.
It's a GPGPU without the stability and mathematical rigidity of a Tesla or similar systems. You could still use it as a regular GPGPU for non-mining although there is little use for those on desktops.
So yes, it is the same thing as a GeForce but it has all the things for DP and HDMI removed (so you're saving a couple of bucks on licensing, parts, solder and testing) and probably overclocked a little bit too.
No they don't, they market that it has more power than a PC laptop, they are not marketing it as a MacBook replacement (they don't market against their own line).
It's like saying that your motorcycle has more horsepower than a cheap car. This may be true, but it doesn't make it a car.
I can see the point of larger tablets in some environments like sales and demos. The bigger ones (of any brand) are not intended to be a "pocket device" so I wouldn't even call them "mobile" they're a tablet that you keep in your couch or on your work table or use as a mobile presentation tool.
Actually, the MS Surface can't be properly used as a tablet because the OS is intended to be mouse-based control. You have to attach a keyboard/mouse to do basic things like setup a self-signed certificate. It's also not a very good laptop.
Depends on your definition of a 'good' laptop. Sure, I can buy yesteryears's models for $500 but for general use, I wouldn't recommend a sub-$1500 laptop.
But it hasn't been without it's beheadings, torture, tar-and-feathering etc. It's only in the last few decades that religions have been more civil and then only in the western world.
You're forgetting how for ages, anyone proving that Earth was the center of the Universe simply got their heads removed - Galileo wasn't very popular. People (Christians too) are still blowing up things up today over evolution and procreation. Sure, some are easily adaptable in this day and age but the majority of religious people aren't so keen (look at Islam)
You would also disprove about 90% of Earths religions and given 0% of our elected officials are non-religious I think an amendment to the constitution regarding the further funding of space exploration would be the only bill with 100% bipartisan support before the announcement was even complete.
You wouldn't be able to sell the thing for $80 otherwise. You can get an RPi and some controllers with a bunch more games and better emulators than either the NES Classic or this thing.
They'll keep selling new game systems at $80 until people stop buying it.
The Presidential orders were deemed illegal therefore whatever action was attached to it is thereby also illegal. Basically the courts suspended any action surrounding the handling of Islamic Terrorism for the time being because it's deemed to be religious discrimination.
Only in the US are you free to terrorize people as long as you claim religion (and that doesn't just end with Islam, it applies to Christians as well).
The issue is not about religion, the order specifically targets a list of countries, the religious argument is a Democratic invention because the majority of people in most of those countries belong to one or another sect of Islam.

I don't have to, they destroy their own platforms over time... see Twitter.

Then make it a series of transactions, you could even encode a checksum if you'd like.
You could ask to pay 1.xxx BTC and then refund them 0.1xxxx or whatever arbitrary value you like.

It's not a laptop, it's a tablet and tablets are touch-based, keyboards are an afterthought and useful enough to type email on the go.
