Originally, people talked about fake news like "Clinton has brain tumor and only 6 months to live" or "Birmingham in the UK is a 'no-go zone. Something that's been made up and has no basis in reality.
That's quite a bit different than being mean to Trump or a false story that was retracted and the people responsible were held accountable.
Now I won't say they have the highest quality stories, but they're a fare cry from the absolute lies that you'll see from right-wing sources.
What percentage of CNN stories are fake? Do you have some examples of them consistently publishing fake news? Seems more like you've just bought into Trump's "don't trust anyone" rhetoric.
In the article they had to partially dismantle it and connect wires to debug pads. Sure you wouldn't know after it's done, but it would look very suspicious to anyone around. Would be much more subtle to place a standalone bug.
Are people out there really that dense to think that a device like this isn't sending every waking minute of their lives to some spook at the NSA?
For a tech site, you wouldn't expect questions like that. I have one, it's handy for asking questions, controlling the lights and stuff.
I also have monitored the traffic from it and there's nothing significant until you say the wake word. Might as well be afraid of your toaster sending data to the NSA.
Opera had a voice feature several years ago, but I don't recall it being very popular and it wasn't one of the things they brought in the new version. Who is the target audience for a feature like this?
I mean, you can act as smug as you want about your country having a slightly newer technology than the US, but that doesn't make good business sense to ignore a large market.
I got your attempt to be clever, but it's kind of a stupid point since there is still a very large market of people that regularly see terminals that have chip readers that aren't enabled and so accept magstripes
For one, the transaction time is a lot faster than a card with a chip. That alone makes it worth it rather than fumbling around with a card for me. Almost every store I visit now supports it, so it's convenient.
I imagine it depends if the reader supports chips and have chips enabled. In the US, a lot of places are slowly transitioning so have chip readers without the chip functionality enabled. Fortunately they usually DO enable NFC.
Well, according to your source, two attacks. There are plenty of muslims that serve in the military and it's probably a good idea since we deploy them to muslim majority countries. You're probably just irrationally afraid of them from reading too much alt-right "news".
Except you apparently. This is exactly my issue with the vast majority of "green energy advocates" who apparently love green energy so much they have never actually used it themselves. But you're all experts because you read some articles. Well, turns out you learn a lot of details that really matter when you setup a system for yourself.
They're usually all one unit. Here's an example of one: http://www.fourstarsolar.com/m... - seems to go for about $4k (https://www.wholesalesolar.com/magnum-magnum-power-centers). It includes the charge controller, inverter, and grid bypass circuitry. Can you find the equivalent for cheaper? Micro-inverters cost about $100 each so you'd have to have a solar array with 40 panels for it to be cheaper.
Now you are obviously getting a lesser system (no battery backup), but overall the system is cheaper (which is the original point).
You've yet to provide any numbers that support your claims.
But the law puts in place guidelines on how the rules can be made and changed and that's what was ruled against in court. Are you pro-methane or something?
The last thing power plants want is uncertainty in regulations.
I have - a micro-inverter that shuts off when the line power goes off is far cheaper (~$100each) than a central control unit with charging system ($3k+).
I don't trust the WaPo more than sites like Breitbart, but you don't check your media sources, you think they're all bad and can't tell if one is better than the other. If you were checking all your media sources, I imagine you would have noticed a trend in quality by now.
Sounds like you've fallen for the right-wing "you can't trust any of the media! They all lie" propaganda. That's unfortunate and I hope you're able to think critically and properly check your media sources again some day.

You drive 5 hours on the highway per day? Are you a truck driver?
So a big fat 0%. Nice.

OTA channels are all digital these days so they won't be whitewashed in static, they'll have digital artifacts/blockiness.
I would say Amazon is in all those businesses.

Exactly! This policy is based on an extremely tiny minority and it makes no sense.

What about a person who has two X chromosomes and had a penis that was removed?
So why not make it a ban on people that are dependent on taking pills every day?
Care to list the prices you paid?

Or their policy is that they don't reveal the results so they cannot do it while complying with their policy.

It is solved, but it's still much more expensive
