Out-dated doesn't necessarily mean 'legacy', 'out of support' or 'old'.
A brand new system on shiny new hardware can use out-dated technologies, and that can prevent it supporting the business agility and data led decisioning that senior managers are demanding.
Whether they know what they're asking for, whether they're willing to pay for it and the chances of them actually using it properly are a whole raft of other conversations.
Tech costs money. Companies don't have enough money, unless they're very successful. Very successful companies have money because they don't spend it all on tech.
If I die tomorrow my estate will owe £13k in credit card debt.
I clear my credit cards every month. I just happen to have spent rather a lot this month. 4k isn't a trivial sum but it's well within the bounds of credibility.
I have a couple of thousand images that would benefit from noise reduction. Shooting movement in low light means high ISO or blur, so I accept the noise.
If they wanted some serious training data, the whole astrophotography field is full of people that take dozens of pictures of the same thing then sample across all of them to remove noise. That means they have plenty of randomness in their noisy images and a nice clean one for comparison.
Hookers aren't the problem here. We have an incel-mass producing culture that is arguably worse than a society that practices polygamy.
Welcome to human history. Shit, you think polygamy produces fewer men with no partner than monogamy? Not unless a substantial number of men are dying very young.
Interesting. You have a car that can accelerate from 55 to 100 quickly enough to leave 'a few seconds' to do something faster than the alternative, which would have taken 3 seconds?
Again you show your vicious racism. "Oh, those poor undeveloped peoples, they could never have matched the British"
As for the things you've listed, poisoning the Chinese is something of a stretch, the Zulus had it coming (lets face it, they'd already killed most of the other people in that area) and the Indians got very rich so I'm struggling to see how the word 'plunder' comes into play.
I've also noticed that three of the four countries you listed became nuclear powers. I guess Britain really fucking devastated them.
w. You deny the responsibility of your people with the silly reasoning that these countries had some internal problems before and therefore the Brits just brought civilisation to them, and the whole murders and the plundering are just side effects and not important.
Shit, you forgot to mention the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.
But lets look at it in the context of non-military violence in India before, during and after British rule: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Hmm. The only reason deaths aren't substantially and significantly lower during British rule are because the locals couldn't agree how to run their own fucking country and started killing each other.
I don't have to excuse British actions, I'm merely pointing out that you have a biased, lopsided and racist view of events. Trust me, I'm carrying no fucking burden and I refuse to let you try and load me with one.
Nice that you throw the term 'crimes' around, and also entirely fucking disregard the activities in the countries before and after the British got involved.
I mean, it's not as though India was fully of warring warlords, Arabia was full of Turks pushing the natives into a nomadic desert lifestyle, China had centuries of warfare or Africa was full of genocidal tribes.
Oh, wait.
But no, lets blame Western countries, because every other part of the world is entirely crime free and exploited. White man's burden is a silly term used by racist fuckwits that seek to deny agency and responsibility to everybody else. Stop it, grow the fuck up and learn about a history that is rich, complex and includes a whole plethora of interesting and reprehensible activities by all peoples.
The court has other avenues available though that wouldn't include a judgement that exposes them to ridicule on the internet.
E.g. they could have agreed that the use of the photograph was indeed wrong and that damages are indeed due. As the photograph was heavily cropped, available only for a limited period, removed immediately on request and incidental to the primary purpose of the site (and related festival) actual damages comprise around $3.
All my photographs have copyright notices in the metadata. That doesn't stop someone from copying them, stripping the metadata (easily done by accident - e.g. uploading to imgur.com strips metadata) and someone else finding that photograph.
Similarly watermarks and other visual elements can be removed.
The copyrights for those photographs remain nonetheless with me.
Sadly in the UK the law doesn't actually support me against companies that might misuse them, due to the Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act 2013.
I've taken plenty of photos that people wouldn't even pay a few bucks for.
They've still cost me the financial costs of camera equipment, travel and software, the time involved in taking them and the costs of gaining the experience that led me to take that photograph and process it in that form.
This is why I let my friends use my photographs for free but charge companies several hundred pounds.
You're significantly under valuing what it takes to 'snap' a photo. It's very fucking different to the perceived market value.
Where did you go to school, because they're clearly teaching a very distorted view of history.
I mean, lets consider countries the British strongly influenced. Nope, not seeing refugees from Antigua, Australia, Bangladesh, Barbados, Belize, Botswana, Brunei, Cameroon, Canada, China, Dominica, Egypt, Fiji, Ghana, Grenada, Grenadines, Guyana, India, Israel, Jamaica, Kenya, Kiribati, Lesotho, Malawi, Malaysia, Malta, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Nauru, New Zealand, Nigeria, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Cyprus, Samoa, Seychelles, Singapore, Solomon Islands, South Africa, Sri Lanka, St Christopher and Nevis, St Lucia, St Vincent, Swaziland, The Bahamas, Tonga, Trinidad and Tobago, Tuvalu, Uganda, United Republic of Tanzania, USA, Vanuatu, Zambia or Zimbabwe.
So Rwanda, Sierra Leone and Myanmar are the only ones with any recent trouble, one of those was a racial issue unrelated to the UK and one of them is a religious one also related to the UK.
Meanwhile four of them are nuclear powers, most of them are stable and provide safety for their citizens and in general they've benefited greatly from the British influence into their legal systems and governance.
Sure, the UK have also influenced places like Libya, Iraq and Syria. All three of them were killing their own citizens in vast numbers first, so don't go pretending the UK caused any of this.
I'll let people from other western powers defend their own countries.
nor can you have sharia courts in a first world nation. or genital mutilation
Genital mutilation is not illegal in most countries - including first world countries like the US and the UK. Shit, genital mutilation is extremely common in the US.
As for Sharia courts, if people want to live their lives by that insanity in my country then they're welcome to do so. They just also have to obey my country's laws and are subject to its legal system; where that clashes with their Sharia rulings is where Sharia stops being law.
Slashdot Mirror
Check youtube for videos of wind turbines on fire and/or exploding.
Sure, there may not be many, and it may be a tiny percentage of those deployed. I'd suggest it's a little more than 'virtually never'.
But mainly it's always interesting watching something that expensive catch fire.
I'm sat in a cafe in an airport departure lounge, about to board a flight to Malta.
I would really rather not shit myself, so forgive me if I skip your recommended search.
My fellow passengers would thank me if they were aware of the sacrifice I'm making here.

Talk to them about outcomes. Ask they how they personally contributed to those outcomes. Hand them a whiteboard pen and invite them to draw a picture.
Never hire an architect that can't draw a picture.
Good, because your ignorance is shining brightly.

Sorry, you fail. Post the fucking evidence.
From the page you linked:
This package was approved as a trusted package on 7/10/2018.
Yeah, I'm really going to trust some fuckwit site that approves things in the future.
I know where they can start: That farcical conspiracy that claims women get paid less than men for equal work.
Or maybe the comical conspiracy theory that western societies are based on a patriarchy.
But those are too easy, I guess Google would prefer to focus resources on the big ones, like the daft idea Russia caused America to elect Trump,
(Anybody wanting to claim that these are not conspiracy theories is welcome to provide actual and referenceable credible evidence)

last I heard, the Jeep Grand Cherokee was the most popular vehicle among millionaires
That seriously surprises me. Even American ones have so many better options available.
It's not that the Grand Cherokee is a shit car, it's just fucking awful.
It's a nerd site, if you're not going to use Celcius then at least use fucking Kelvin.
Yeah. I have confidence in human ability to adapt and survive, and meanwhile I can look forward excellent weather in my old age.
most men had no reason to visit prostitutes
That'll be why it's such a new phenomenon then?
Hookers aren't the problem here. We have an incel-mass producing culture that is arguably worse than a society that practices polygamy.
Welcome to human history. Shit, you think polygamy produces fewer men with no partner than monogamy? Not unless a substantial number of men are dying very young.
No. Because by then you're no longer a customer and no longer beholden to the contract.
You're now being fraudulently charged for a service you have not requested, and that's actionable in a court of law.
Interesting. You have a car that can accelerate from 55 to 100 quickly enough to leave 'a few seconds' to do something faster than the alternative, which would have taken 3 seconds?

Do they fuck. They may export migrants but they don't export refugees.
Fucking Ireland export more migrants than that, if you want to go all first world about it.
Nice that you throw the term 'crimes' around, and also entirely fucking disregard the activities in the countries before and after the British got involved.

Apparently you need a geography lesson. This conversation is about Europe.
