IANAL, but isn't deliberately publicly attacking and lying about a company in a deliberate attempt to drive down the stock price actionable in court as "tortious interference"? I.e., can't Trump be sued for as much as he has driven the market cap down, which is far more money than he has?
Deliberately falsely badmouthing a company in order to drive it's stock price down is legally called "tortious interference", and is VERY actionable. I'm also pretty sure Jeff Bezos can afford some pretty could lawyers. Trump will be tied up in court until well after his death.
What social media platform are people switching to in order to replace Facebook? I've already signed up for Mastodon. I just wish Facebook wasn't used as the default user authentication mechanism for so many websites -- 'net identity and social media should be completely separate functions. from separate providers that don't have a vested interest in your data.
My daughter's school already switched from having a few iPads to issuing literally every student in the school their own Chromebook. Google's web-based office tools are okay, and probably the only option on something with only 32G of memory.
That ship sailed 20 years ago. They tried to screw me out of severance pay when I left; I _did_ threaten to tell the company they had fraudulently billed (in fact, my taking the blame for that project not being done when half the time was already billed on it was the reason I was leaving). They agreed to give me my severance, and I agreed not to rat on them. However, they put a 30 day delay on pulling out my 401K funds, and during that time it mysteriously lost 25% of it's value.
C# would actually be a good language, if it weren't completely Microsoft-specific. Microsoft obviously analyzed all the common errors C++ programmers make, and tried to create a language in which those mistakes weren't possible. Combined with Managed Code, it allows them to develop more reliable software with worse programmers.
I used to work for Oracle. They are much, much worse! My manager pulled down his $40K/quarter bonus by billing customers for work that wasn't actually done.
Thanks for killing Java as a programming language and forcing everyone to move to Python instead, because I just LOVE it when it complains I indented by 3 spaces instead of 4!
The first time I saw the video, I went, "Man, somebody's going to win a multimillion dollar judgement against Uber!" True be know, due to my night blindness, I probably would have hit the pedestrian too under similar circumstances. I constantly see pedestrians or bicyclists in dark clothing on the side of the road only after it would be too late to avoid them if they moved in front of my car.
Why isn't there a middle road? Like designing systems to keep weapons out of the hands of people that are likely to use them to hurt themselves or others, while still protecting people's basic right to tools useful for self defense? Trust me, a bump stock isn't very useful for home protection.
Both valid points. My current strategy is to replace all the looks with Kwikset SmartKey devices every time I move into a new house, since you never know who still has keys to the existing locks. Then you can rekey yourself with a random Kwikset key set every time you lose a key. As far as the original problem, any way of factory resetting the wallet, effectively erasing ALL non-permanent data, and starting from scratch? That is pretty much a feature they need to support for the device to be trusted, especially if people start reselling them.
Stop insulting Putin... you think he'd let a lowlife like sexlessconker suck him?!? Not when he can get the president of the most powerful country on earth to do it!
I'd rather see him suffer. Imagine how embarrassed he will be when he can no longer get a professionally done comb-over, and everyone will be able to see his bald spots!
Since Facebook's business model is built on selling user data, our response is obvious: poison the data! Create dozens of fake accounts with the most ridiculous user profiles imaginable, and friend them with random people. If we make the user data garbage enough, then it becomes useless and Facebook's business model fails.
Yeah, when I worked for Sharp Labs, one manager spent $100,000 to license another company's HTTP server. It had several bugs written against it, so I spent Christmas break writing a much simpler HTTP server from scratch that fixed all the bugs... which really pissed my new manager off, how DARE I fix things without review (everybody else was on vacation) and make their purchase decisions look stupid?

I'm old enough to remember when the only memory was magnetic cores threaded on wires... which was non-volatile, by the way.

I don't consider them supported well enough to use on Linux projects, but maybe someday...

Larry has his own private Hawaiian island to retire to... if I were him, I would retire already!

Sounds like the journalist has it exactly backwards, yes.

I disagree; flying cars are hitting the market any day real soon now -- but you will be required to have a pilot's license for most of them.
Start a dating site for ammosexuals! Gonna be kind of a real sausage fest, guys... "Do you think maybe he's compensating for something?" -- Shrek

Only physical sexual contact -- so only trafficking in sex organs is banned!
Sex can potentially cause harm, but in most cases it actually improves the participants health.
Looks like we can still have subreddits for child pornography!

All the Libertarians the joined the GOP had better be saying "Not my president!" right now!
