Not that simple. The ads were targeted very specifically. A large number were "narrowcast" at certain geographic areas...perhaps even down to the district level. It is very likely US citizens helped the Russians with this.
Probably just used the data that Facebook collects by tracking people 24/7 all over the interwebs. Of course they wouldn't use all that data to help ad campaigns to '"narrowcast" at certain geographic areas' or anything like that, they collect it for, umm... different reasons?
I think (could be wrong, of course didn't RTFA) they mean a 'sewing line' as in one worker sews on the collar, one sews on the left sleeve &etc...
So (sew?) the output of one sewing line can produce 669 shirts in the same time one robot can do 1142 which may or may not equal a 17:1 ratio. Who knows, probably depends on the length of the human sewing line?
Reminds me of the last car I bought from a dealership, they had installed a crappy alarm system that one day let out all the magic smoke and the car wouldn't start. So I reach under the steering column and pulled the wires out of the stupid thing and the car ran just fine after that. Anti-theft my ass...
Got this python script to deauth the neighbors when they set their channel to the same as the restaurant with free wifi that should work pretty well for this "platoon".
Oh, and a platoon is like 25-30 so this is more like a fire-team of trucks.
I do the same thing all the time -- walk a block and buy from a selection of "several hundred fast-selling items" without having to use an app or wait several minutes for my items to appear in a locker. In fact, the items are spread out all over the store and I can just pick them up and take them to a counter to check out.
Seems to work out pretty well since they're almost always busy...
We also fought a couple wars against communists yet I see a bunch of them rioting and looting on American streets on a regular basis with implicit support from local *cough*Berkeley*cough* governments.
Disagree. It would be like Staples being able to refuse to sell you paper because they don't like what you're writing on the paper. Or Dell refusing to sell you a computer for what you write.
and Staples and Dell would be in their rights to do so. it's called the free market. why do you hate the free market?
Especially if the paper were to be used to print invitations to a gay wedding...
Assuming you live in the USA or a Commonwealth (including most exCommonwealth) country, for close to the last millennium. We're all common law countries...
Yep, each state is different...under Arizona State Law 13-103:
A. All common law offenses and affirmative defenses are abolished. No conduct or omission constitutes an offense or an affirmative defense unless it is an offense or an affirmative defense under this title or under another statute or ordinance.
Used to drink with a retired city prosecutor and (at the time) part time judge who would often remind me that "Arizona isn't a common law state".
It's important, as riders prefer predictability to fit in with the rest of their scheduled daily activities such as school and work.
I know, right?
Just the other day I was waiting for the light rail and a couple cars got into an accident on the next street with one ending up disabled right in the middle of the tracks. Of course my first question to the people getting the passengers to swap trains so both could continue in their original direction was "Why doesn't your scheduling algorithm take into account these unforeseen circumstances because, you know, I have places to be?"
Men who had firearms would register with their local government and if the need arose, they would be called up. The government maintained that list so they knew who they could call on.
Hmm....kind of like Selective Service?
And, equally, The Second Amendment was also intended to protect The People from a tyrannical domestic government who would probably not call up a "well regulated militia" to protect The People from itself and would also love a federal database of gun owners to keep any uprisings in check.
So while your argument may be reasonable it was clearly never the intention of The Founding Fathers to only grant the federal government the ability to overthrow a repressive domestic regime when the need arises.
Not educating them means they will be a drag on the rest of society, a notion that has never entered the head of a libertarian or conservative Republican.
So all those people who do the things you don't want to do because you would rather pay someone to do it for you (or don't actually know how to do it yourself) so you can use your time in a more 'valuable' manner are a drag on society?
Umm...something about comparative advantage and a rising tide lifting all boats would seem to apply here methinks.
If you spend 40 hours per week flipping burgers then you should not need to work a second and third job just to pay your bills because some other people have made a value judgment about how important your job is.
You know, every single person who ever decides they want a $7 Big Mac value meal over a $25 hamburger meal in a proper restaurant (made by a 'burger flipper' getting paid a living wage) has made this value judgement you seem to be condemning. So, basically, every single person alive today has made the judgment that some skills are more valuable than others and have made their preferences known through how much they are willing to pay.
The only solution to this is to have a Commission of Goods and Services to set prices and wages because it is painful obvious that every single person can't be trusted to make decisions that are beneficial to the common good.
Really its just some good publicity before the inevitable "price gouging" stories hit the news like they do every drinking holiday -- like last night some folks got a ride to an event for ~$20 from Uber and the app quoted $100+ to get them home.
Cost them $54 (including tip) to get them home in an evil taxi btw.
You know those cars are going to end up in Phoenix where your average driver is kind of crappy, plenty of old ass "snow birds" and a fine mix of folks who can't legally drive but do anyway.
Though I do look forward to taking out one of those SDCs after they do something stupid in front of me -- my new goal in life actually...
The problem with large scale barter systems is they always, err..."devolve" into a system where a few highly sought after goods become the medium of exchange to solve the coincidence of wants problem then The Powers That Be take over production of said medium of exchange (coinage) which gets us right back to the issue we are currently discussing.

Prove the last two, otherwise you don't actually "know" those things, you just have faith in them..
Well... here's the first one.

They named him Chico de Chan Hoi me thinks...

Meh, saw one when I was a kid ('79 or whatever) so I guess I'm good.

No help for "children on my lawn"....
Take to the streets my brothers to close this REM gender gap!!!
/. has devolved into mostly partisan bickering. Sad!
WTF indeed...
You really think they aren't?

Look where the founders of these companies come from!

Welcome to the world of barter.
