They better hurry, GM's set to release a driverless car next year. They've even removed the steering wheel; what would typically be considered an Apple move.
My first thought of a response would be that I don't care what you believe. Matters of opinion aren't within our range of control except perhaps in aggregate through mass peer pressure.
It's better to turn masses, rather than worrying about individuals. No matter what we do, people will accept it over time simply due to the appreciable effects of climate change itself. If they don't, or it's too late, then the species at large deserve their fate. Earth will burn us off and the Holocene will end. This outcome is acceptable too.
The internet is a critical part of the backbone of our consumption-based economy.
This can change. That change starts with our leaders - declaring with action if not words - that affordable broadband access is not a human right, nor necessary. Objectively, it's arguable. Sometimes I take an online class, but facilities are available for doing that without broadband, and schools can adjust their instructional material to compensate for ever narrower bandwidth. As for everything else, chatting, reading, online shopping, bills, you don't really need much speed for that. While I sympathize, your 4k videos will just have to come from large networks and the providers themselves. It's just too bad that the "next Netflix" will get shut out.
Snowflakes melt. The condition for their continued survival isn't consistent with the reality of the world they live in.
Melting can be seen as a loss of relevance. We can limit that consequence to the man by moving on, or we can suffer that consequence as a nation by doubling down. Either way, reality asserts itself.
The obvious answer is to shamelessly ask that the government require Google to link to these publications, while also requiring that Google pay for the pleasure of being forced to do so.
How big does the array need to be before it can power a cluster big enough to recoup your investment in the array, cluster, and the land upon which it all resides?
And can it scale with the increasing cost of mining bitcoin?
North Korea? The Colonial Period? Why not compare your penis to a vagina while you're at it?
America was built by dissatisfied people who knew they could do better. We should keep complaining. We can leave complacency to the denizens of former empires and modern dictatorships.
2. To view Tumblr beyond just a couple pages on mobile, you need to install the mobile app. Desktop Mode doesn't alleviate this.
3. To use the app, you need an account.
"Fuck it" can happen between 2 and 3. I didn't do 2 for the longest time because I didn't want to install the app. When I finally did to verify my claims in this post, I needed to login or sign-up. I then uninstalled the app.
The United States is very big, and throughout its history it has contained many different subcultures and social mores. Utah isn't anything like New York, and rural areas aren't anything like metropolitan areas. Yet these people must coexist within the same body. The only cultural thing that really matters in the US the respect for another's right to think and express themselves freely. Your neighbor's God, sports preference, favorite foods, marriage status, or politics is not a matter of national security.
Countries where this matters - where people are often killed for having a dissenting opinion, teaching history, or exposing corruption - are inferior.
This was my assumption. At least it certainly seemed that way.
I built one last fall, focusing on expandability, specifically ram. I have 32 gb of ram and I can expand to 128. The only reason I didn't go for it immediately is because I wanted dual 970s and an Oculus Rift (I know...). Soon, I'll need to buy 1080s, (or maybe just one this time). I'll expand the ram to 64gb and call it a day. It has an Intel thing with 12 threads (hyperthreaded), more than enough for what I'll need during the useful life of the machine. I don't even care enough to remember what model it was. It holds its own when rendering though - that's what matters to me.
My hobbies are 3d modeling, programming, 2D art, and some games. This rig is not bleeding edge, but I'd like to keep it close, with newish hardware that's just beginning to come down to reasonable prices.
If I bought a premade machine, I'd spend more for fewer options and less expandability. It's also less fun.
singled out by the federal government and destroyed without a trial.
Stores need not be forced to carry your product, customers need not be forced to buy it - government, corporate, or otherwise. There's no place for a trial here.
"For the moment, you're still cheaper than a robot." the remaining excuse for paying janitors anything at all.
Don't get me wrong, I'm sympathetic. It's just you can't expect much if you leave these sorts of things to market forces. When the market decides you're cheap, you may have agency (unlike other commodities) to increase your value. Desire is insufficient however, you must also have the resolve the follow through... and often the money to get the ball rolling.
It may also require you to have some foresight into where your industry is headed. You may have made decent money as a janitor in 1997. But had you kept your eyes open, you'd might have seen the hiring standards collapse and the department flood with drug addicts. Then you may notice year after year of no raise despite inflation and despite how good a janitor you are.
When your body is nearly broken and you're still making the same money you did in 1997, it's almost too late. Joining a union is probably the best option at that point - but it's still a free market, and companies are also free to end their contracts. It's a losing proposition no matter what you do, so you might as well do something.
I bought a used mid-2012 MBP recently. It's been great, and I use it a ton for homework (gone back to school), and light browsing.
I don't even use my Surface Pro anymore.
But that's about all I really use it for. Most Autodesk software is Windows only, this is software I need for work. That, and I maintain a small c#.net plugin for one of them. Most of my games are Windows only as well.
Other than that, I really love macOS. I wish more software ran on it, because if not for the aforementioned issues, I'd have built a hackintosh instead of a typical Windows gaming rig,
and then I wouldn't have to worry as much about hackers or being spied upon.
Both issues are just two sides of the same issue: weakening checks against corrupting influence. That influence can be a foreign power, the mob, a local businessman, whatever. If you're willing to accept local corruption, then you shouldn't complain when those same corrupt officials make bigger deals in bigger playing fields.
I'll give you this: Republican voters definitely don't seem to care so long as the corruption works to their favor. Democrat voters didn't seem to care until it stopped working in their favor. Win or lose, they have fun at our expense.

Lol, no you don't.
It's a pat on the head for the voters. "You made the right choice."
Ah well, better luck next time.

It passed the House yesterday.
The buck is definitely in congress right now. Eventually it'll enter the oval office, stand above the Resolute Desk, and vomit.
"The buck stops with my predecessor."

To expand on your second point:
"Fuck it" can happen between 2 and 3. I didn't do 2 for the longest time because I didn't want to install the app. When I finally did to verify my claims in this post, I needed to login or sign-up. I then uninstalled the app.
I have no doubt the suggestion has landed on receptive ears here in the US. Europe is already working on it, the US will not be far behind.

It's to be expected, but guess we're growing up. When it's not simply our "childhood" under threat, but our children, it's not funny anymore.

It's not stable, it's inconvenient, and it's easy to steal. Sounds about right.
I can't help but be impressed though.
Reasonable response there champ. And no, I'm not actually saying something other than what I'm saying...

I hate Trump and love it. Seriously, why should I care about immigrants?
