Looks like someone doesn't know the difference between schizophrenia and multiple personality disorder. Also, the normal reaction to traumatic events is to black them out.
Why are ACs always make such total asses of themselves?;)
If your communications networks have just been taken out by weather then the situation is already past the point where information about the weather is even relevant because it's already too late to do anything except hunker down in the basement (and maybe kiss your ass goodbye).
It seems every 6 months I'm turning on the news to witness another "breakthrough" in energy storage that never seems to make it to the consumer market or anywhere else.
That's because there are many obstacles to making a successful battery. So basically, depending on the technology you are working with, you may need about 10 or 20 "breakthroughs" before you get a new type of battery on the market. That said, sodium batteries are on the market and they are great for storing power for your house but due to patents, VCs and assholerly in general, they are expensive.
While it's good that some whales managed to escape, I find it extremely disconcerting that whales are beaching themselves en masse and we don't know why.
Well once you reach a certain threshold of users...
This is incorrect. The common carrier laws are about the infrastructure needed to connect to the network. I agree this should apply to ISPs but a website is more like an 800 number because it's an endpoint, not the network itself.
If you want to end exploitation of H1B visa holders, it seems like the easiest step would be to let visa holders change employers without restarting the H1B process. This would reduce the exploitation factor, since employees could walk away from bad jobs. It wouldn't require guessing what a reasonable salary bound would be, but would let the market decide that, instead.
That's good for H1B visa holders but it still means that people in the United States now have to compete with everyone. Not everyone from a particular country, everyone on planet Earth. This means you are competing with the lowest common denominator for quality of life. Life in country XYZ maybe a hellscape and working in the US for minimum wage and living with nine other people in a home is much better. This means that workers in the US need to be willing to work for the same low wages and live in home with nine other people just to compete for the same job.
Open source can mean better security but if you take absurd risks, it will still bite you. History has proven that running PHP is very risky, not because it's open or closed but because it dynamically generates content based on poorly validated input. You can do things to eliminate these risks like not dynamically generating content or rigorously validating your inputs. PHP is highly dynamic and Wordpress isn't known for validating it's inputs, so you have taken a high level risk and like millions of other people, gotten burned by it.
Nope, sorry. You already lost that argument when your side bankrupted a bakery that tried to implement "my business, my rules".
A) I don't have a "side" because I disagree with both parties. B) "my business, my rules" doesn't prohibit people from refusing you business. Feel free to do the same to Twitter.
We've read Alinsky too, and we are perfectly happy mocking you for failing to live by your own rules.
I'm not sure which rules you are talking about but you seem to think society is a game of "us versus them" which is very shortsighted. We may not agree all the time but we should be working together to make a better future for everyone.
Most business folk are not the ones most keen to take improper advantage of people. Sure they make a business decision to move where the labor is cheaper
I find it strange that some people believe that they have a right to be on a private website. What I find even stranger is that many of the people arguing that Twitter is somehow being unfair also support the idea of "my business, my rules" but persist on complaining anyway. If you don't like twitter, there are other sites you can visit. Secondly, you don't have the right to be read by other people. People are free to ignore you, regardless of your cause, just or otherwise.
Here's the thing - basic income CAN theoretically not work out... but some an economist with a stake or two against it working is NOT evidence that this version of it hasn't panned out.
Business folk (the type that like exploiting cheap labor) are terrified they are going to lose their leverage on people so they are summarily declaring it a failure. It could have been the single most successful thing on day one and they still would have declared it a failure because it's a threat to their way of life. That is to say that their way of life is exploiting people's food/housing insecurity, the modern form of slavery.
"If you do not have basic security you cannot be rational,"
Exactly.
Not only does SAK say that the system may reduce the labor force -- for instance by tempting mothers of small children or those close to retirement to take more time off -- but the union also suggests that making it easier to refuse unpleasant jobs may create inflationary bottlenecks.
We have automation so that we didn't have to perform unpleasant of dangerous jobs! Not enough workers? AUTOMATE IT! Can't automate it? Pay people what the job is actually worth!
On how long for this technology to be declared illegal for civilian ownership in the United States
It should be illegal because this thing is effectively a remotely activated road flare that people keep in their pocket. Also, it's retarded because it's the least effective way to destroy information! Honestly, it doesn't take much to release the "magic blue smoke" from ICs (hobbyists do it all the time) which really destroys information so this is just needlessly dangerous.

That means a bunch of old people got duped into buying a cell with Windows Phone. Microsoft should be ashamed of themselves! ;)

Allegedly reputable news organizations characterizing that video as "anti-semitic" is something else entirely.
If this is true then he has a really good case for a libel/slander suit.

They may have recorded it inadvertently, not accidentally.
Accidentally means you were trying to avoid doing it but it happened.
Inadvertently means you did so without knowing because it was not your focus.
Alexander Fleming accidentally left out a Staphylococcus plate culture and inadvertently discovered penicillin.
English is a wonderful language full of very precise words so let's use them accurately!
The cops can't take your info from it (because it holds none) and it's great for breaking windows! ;)
I don't think I would trust a person to have a large power dense always hot corrosive filled object in their house at the moment
I'm speaking of a sodium-ion battery aka salt water battery. They do not have thermal issues and they a big step up from lead-acid batteries.
It seems every 6 months I'm turning on the news to witness another "breakthrough" in energy storage that never seems to make it to the consumer market or anywhere else.

I got a better idea. How about we just scrap the H1B program and let people immigrate normally.
Leak a photo of the current prototype.

This is how the future should work.
I came prepared.

Investing in everything but editable posts and you will get unedited posts.
Invest in poor security and you will get poor results.
And I wasn't speaking about "pure intentions". I can't read minds
Then why should anyone give them a chance at all if there endgame is just money and power?
I really rather they invest the billion dollars in making electric cars instead. They are chasing the wrong technology.
