This isn't possible. God simply will not allow electric-powered vehicles to gain that market share. Everyone knows Jesus wants humanity burning fossil fuels, the safe energy that He would never allow to harm us.
Oh Christ defend us from the BB apologists. It has a large pile of cash from ye olden days, and while there's some QNX growth, it's hardly stellar. The company is a shell of what it used to be and has been fucking around with cash flows for a couple of years now by selling off assets.
It is very much indeed well on its way to patent trolling, as was predicted as its hardware sales crashed.
Russia was still shipping steel to Germany up to the morning of the invasion, and let's remember that Lend Lease was also sent to Russia, with Stalin bitching it wasn't enough on a regular basis to Churchill and Roosevelt that Churchill ordered some of the Arctic Convoys to redirect to Russian ports. And then we can talk about the Trans-Iranian Railway, where the Allies intervened in Iranian affairs to depose Reza Shah in favor of his son and everyone's favorite modernizing despotic dictator, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, because the railway represented an alternate route to get materials into Russia.
We are not talking about money as some rarified entity. Consumers have money and if some idiot's behavior interferes with the transfer of that money, then that is bad for the company.
And thank goodness he took the money and then Disney showed him the door. The prequels were all the argument anyone needs to show Lucas was turning Star Wars to shit.
I like the two Disney Star Wars films, especially Rogue One... and is George Lucas dead? Didn't they hand him literal boatloads of money for the Star Wars IP? Lucas isn't rolling in his grave, he's laughing all the way to the bank.
But how is it that he pissed off moneyed interests? Even if we assume that Disney's management are a pack of sociopaths, the fact is the reason they responded as they did is because being associated with someone who makes anti-Semitic jokes could materially harm their interests. In other words, it is the wider society that views anti-Semitism so grimly that a company that stands by and allows itself to maintain associations with someone exhibiting anti-Semitic speech is going to get shown the door.
I'm not going to go out of my way to defend Disney. I find them among the most crass of corporations, taking in cultural motifs and beloved tales and putting them through a sausage grinder to produce such awful dreck as Pocahontas and Mulan. At the same time, I can say quite honestly that if one of my staff made Youtube blatantly anti-Semitic Youtube videos, he'd be gone in a hurry. I believe in free speech, so I suppose to some extent that makes me a hypocrite, but my personal philosophy and the necessities of the market place are never going to sit that well together, and I can only real jive the two by an argument towards the greater good, namely that peoples' livelihoods, mine not the least, could be materially harmed by some jackass's online nonsense.
Someone at some level is going to be using C, even on smartphones and IoT devices. Yes, writing apps doubtless will be done in higher-level languages, but there's going to be someone working in C, at the very least writing drivers for a minimalistic Linux environment.
If you're applying at a shop that does a lot of low level coding or coding on processor, memory and/or storage restricted platforms, if you're only experience is in Java or C#, I'd say your chances are pretty low. Walk in with a good practical grounding in C coding, I would imagine your chances go up. Not every shop is occupied by hipsters looking for keywords like "Python".
If I can't use Rust or C# for low-level coding, then I demand my money back!!!!!!!!! For fuck's sake, I want to compile Ruby to run executables on my fridge!
Well, South Park does get a lot more leeway precisely because it is an equal-opportunity offender. But while Comic Central generally lets Parker and Stone do whatever they want, they have nailed them a few times. Still, I often find that South Park, despite being a bit caustic, is rarely ever outright cruel (okay, Paris Hilton being shoved up Slave's ass might be pretty cruel). But it is a fine line, and there's an art to satire, particularly when it involves risque subjects. I keep thinking back to the Monty Python "Prejudice Game Show" sketch with Michael Palin spouting early 70s-era epithets like "awful gippos" and "shoot the poof!" Because Python were pretty smart guys, and more importantly good writers, they could pull of this kind of shock and awe comedy (think here of the cannibalistic "Undertaker's Sketch"), whereas Spike Milligan, who was just as brilliant a comedian, even by 1970s standards, went too far with some of his sketches.
I started bitching about this a week ago when they had some stupid fucking ad about "vuln detection". It was a terrible ad, and who the fuck uses the contraction "vuln" for "vulnerability"?
Generally, in the post-WWII Western world, making Holocaust jokes or anti-Jewish jokes is seen at the very least in pretty poor taste, and it is indeed the kind of thing that could see people lose sponsorships, jobs, etc. Mel Gibson has been trying to like a bastard to rebuild his career or 10 years after the whole "Jews start all the wars" drunken rant, and while it seems like Hollywood is prepared to give him yet another chance, he'll be dogged by that (and that crazy-ass phone call to his ex-girlfriend, which in some ways I found a whole lot more disturbing) until the day he dies.
Every society has its taboo subjects, some taboo for idiotic reasons (like say, blasphemy and heresy), and some probably for good reasons. In general attacking Jews or mocking or denying the Holocaust are seen as pretty bad because it is feared, not entirely without justification, that latent anti-Semitism inevitably ends up in some sort of pogrom (that's pretty much been the history of the Jews for at least two thousand years, even longer if you buy pre-Hellenic tales of woe). Now, in places like Germany and Austria, that sort of thing is likely to get you thrown in jail, but in the US, the state has no role in determining whether speech is allowed or not, save within a pretty narrow scope of circumstances. That doesn't, however, bind private actors like citizens or corporations from disassociating themselves from people who make anti-Semitic statements.
Yeah, because telling Holocaust jokes is just so totally showing up the "media-industrial complex" (whatever the fuck that is).
You know, I think some Alt-right types probably are the genuine article, or at least believe something akin to what they spout, but the more I see them in action, the more I think most are either Aspie troll or out-and-out fruitcakes.
I wish the browsers would. Thus far HTML 5 autoplay is one of the great evils of the modern Internet. I browse with volume muted these days precisely for that reason.
I've never had the problem. Perhaps it is because you buy shitty phones because shilling for Microsoft doesn't pay much. Get a real job and a real phone.
Jesus Fucking Christ, ISIS is a minor threat. It certainly isn't existential, at least not to any Western nation. The overreaction over Islamism stuns me, when the odds are many orders of a magnitude greater of choking on a fucking chicken bone than getting blown up by a terrorist.
Did you fail math in high school or something? Do you understand that statistically, McDonalds hamburgers represent a greater threat to life than Islamic terrorism ever will?
Britain's dominace iof the high seas in the 19th century would have made any significant intervention by any other power all but impossible, and Britain didn't take sides despite the need of Confederate cotton largely because of domestic political pressures due to the unpopularity of slavery.
Russia's interactions with the West do not show strong success in long-term alliances. Napoleon got nailed mightily for assuming that Alexander was a good mate. There's a lesson in that. The Kremlin has only ever viewed alliances as short term affairs to be sustained for so long as it sees value in it.
I've never been a big fan of the way Microsoft rolls out updates, or how the system handles it, but since Windows 10 they've made it just a fucking agony, with annoying pop up screens, unintended system reboots (with loss of data), and just general chaos. How can a company that has been making software for over thirty years have suddenly become so stunningly incompetent.

Who said a Jew can't be anti-Semitic?
I don't even know who this guy is. From what I gather, some Youtube shock jock did one shock too many, and now Disney dumps him. News at 11.

Translation: I'm a MS shill trying to divert attention from the shit show that is MS updates.
Google can no more control other manufacturers' updates than MS can control how often manufacturers' provide driver updates.
