*nod* that is my general thought. I don't think most users really care about OSes all that much, outside the layout of the settings control, file manager, and how applications are accessed. All the internals, the nitty gritty that actually make OSes different from each other, is hidden from the vast majority of users and thus are pretty interchangeable as long as they function on the machine.
Pittsburgh or Cleveland would have made excellent choices in terms of hiring tech talent. NYC is already pretty high competition, with companies needing to snipe from each other, while Pittsburgh and Cleveland both brain drain problems with highly talented graduates needing to leave the areas to find work elsewhere.
It is standard journalism practice. If you use 'alleged' for all cases that have not been tried as a policy you do not have to make judgement calls regarding who to use it for and who not in cases that might be disputed.
Also, depending on how nasty they were being, they might have lurked long enough to poison the offline backups too. People tend to not actually check them till something goes wrong.
Apple is not usurpring anyone's rights, they are exerting their right to make a product as they see fit and consumers are exerting their right to purchase or not purchase based on the advertised functionality.
Yeah, it must be nice to be the type of person with the resources and connections to actually get crimes like this investigated. This is the other end of the two tiered justice system.
Yeah, that is why I am really skeptical of they guy's story. If all he was really trying to do was save money on transfering between banks, transfering all his money into an exchange (which has a a fee), then finding enough sellers to convert nearly half a million dollars into crypto (which also has fees), then later find enough buyers to convert it back (more fees) and finally transfer it back to a bank? That makes zero sense unless he also believed it would be making money in the process.
Yeah, but in THIS case he was telling the person paying for the tower that he was going to provide trans-atlantic radio communication. The 'businesses were against him' was retconned in decades later.
Another problem is Tesla was not always honest about what his ideas actually were. He had a bit of P. T. Barnum to him, hyping and overstating ideas in the hope of getting sponsors and investors to fund his work, so he can be a little hard sometimes to figure out what even he thought various devices would be capable of.. or even how much of his own hype he believed after a while.
If I recall correctly, the reason his backers bailed was he told them he was building one type of device but was actually constructing another. One of his recurring issues was he kinda scammed his supporters under the idea that when his genius idea worked they wouldn't care, with the problem that many of his ideas did not actually work.
Tesla believed there was some way to use 'charge' ionosphere like a giant capacitor, thus bypassing the inverse square law. He was wrong, but that was the idea.
So yet another wave of companies trying to sell 'authenticity' as having no definable characteristics but somehow better and worth paying them instead of those 'fakes' over there?
Large and small though. The US government is huge, but it is made up of nearly uncountable groups, institutions, and offices, some of which are pretty tiny.
Yet, as a Python developer, at least in my area, I get a constant stream of recruiters trying to place me in web development work. They seem to get really confused when I try to explain that I am a python developer but don't do any web work.
The problem with this basic law is that it is a grade school level understanding of the pattern. It isn't obvious or self evident, it is a super simplified misunderstanding of game theory that no one who has studied the field in any depth takes seriously. It only appeals to people who don't know any better and want something 'obvious' to validate their ignorance.
The sample size is the real killer of the study. One of the major predicted effects of UBI is bottom up demand. People with some money, but not lots, tend to spend it on local goods and services rather than imported luxuries, meaning it could cause local businesses to grow to meet increased demand. That is where the decrease in unemployment should come from, but with such a small set one would not predict seeing the effect.
These would be the wrong people to target with this. The biggest parasites are the 1%, the rarely have actual jobs and consume vast quantities of resources.
I've actually been seeing an increasing number of libertarians, poots, and anarchists moving to mexico because it is easier to bribe their way to freedom there.
The bulk of the cutters and other-self harm people I've known over the years did so, in part, out of a need for agency and control over their own body. Perhaps I am being unfair, but every time I hear a parent complain about 'my kids learned cutting from XYZ and then kill themselves', I wonder just how abusive the parent was and now they are trying to blame someone else.

Add a keyboard and a file manager, and you basically come full circle with an OS that acts mostly as program loader/task switcher.

For the same billions, they could probably attract hundreds of smaller companies that would have far more impact on the city.
He was charged with being in possession of an unregistered firearm when he was prohibited from owning any kind.

Eh, you don't need unbreakable, you just need replacement to be cheaper than having humans out there.

Sounds like they are trying to restore data from something, so hopefully they had offline backups of some type.

Gravity also attracts objects to each other, yet you walk around as a non-puddle of goo and planes flight overhead.
Even within the 'you reward behavior' idea, UBI rewards all behaviors equally, so which behavior exactly will you get more of?
