I too was worried no one would take me seriously. But then, you took the time and effort to reply assuring me all is well, and people will not rest till they correct everything that disagrees with them on the internet.
Pretty soon plugins will appear that will scan the article, answer the quiz and open the comments link for you convenience to troll.
Hey, I have an idea. We should create a site trollcentral.com that will allow users to troll multiple comments pages at the same time. The site will provide a list of thousands of links from hundreds of websites, and your one troll comment will be simultaneously posted into all of them!
Google wants all the revenue generated by the conspiracy theory peddlers and some minor peg for a media spin doctor to rattle off a long list of things Google has done to provide access to the accurate information. That is all.
Whatever solution or mitigation one suggests, if it cuts into google ad revenue it is a non starter. As far as Google is concerened.
There is another bug where if you type too fast the taps dont register correctly. It made rounds a few months before. If you tap the numbers in the calculator too fast you will get random results. Basically if you hit the next number in your input before the animation on the previous tap fully diappears, the tap does not register. Random digits dropped from your input to the calculator. A serious bug if there is one, given how much people have come to trust the calculator.
In our company we will classify this as a "Class 3 Error: An experienced user might trust the wrong answer" and report it to regulators of air safety, nuclear power commission and a dozen such agencies. Class 3 is worse than "crash, no answer" and "answer so wrong far out in the la-la land".
The fix they came up with, it looks like, is to adjust the timings of the animation, instead of buffering taps during animation, like a type ahead buffer of the keyboards.
It is not new. Property rights, serfs and peasants bound to the land, a whole hierarchy of landed gentry paying tributes to the one next higher on in the pyramid,... It is feudal system.
It is very stable. It took about 1000 years of oppression, decay and degeneration of the ruling class for it to break down. How long it will last in the current age when the ruling elites and their henchmen could use face recognition tech and completely track every activity of every citizen?
Zip car is not priced right. Subscription 7$/month plus 9$ an hour. Targeted towards car less people
Something targeting EV owners would have subscription of 25$ a month, allows one whole day of car/van/truck per month, accumulate upto 7 or 10 or 14 days. Drive to rental lot in EV, park, put the EV on charge, check out the IC engine rental. For off home base use it is regular rental at airport, bus/train terminals.
Suddenly some rental car company is going to have the epiphany! "If we created a Netflix model of renting IC engine cars, lots of people will move to electric cars for their regular use. We will have a steady stream of revenue. We might even sell this as a package through the manufacturers, dealers.... We can say you accumulate your one day a month or two days a month subscription up to 14 days.. We can let them rent pickups or sedans or moving vans! WE can let them rent in their vacation destination!".
At some point people will realize if they have access to an ic engine car/truck/van mix at different locations in the city, they can choose the car purely optimized for one commute and two errands per day.
If that shift happens the biggest buyer of IC engine cars/vans/trucks will be the rental companies. They will have even better clout with the car makers.
"FB gets informed".... Why sudden switch to passive voice buddy?
You don't want to draw attention to who is asking FB to pull posts down? Is it the police? Can police randomly order FB to take down posts? Or it has to follow the laws of the country? Do they have to get a court order?
FB did not take down the post. A riot happened. People got killed. Arrest FB executives, charge them with aiding and abetting mass murder, as accessory after the fact, prove in a court and convict them. If the charge wont stick, what the did would be legal.
The Corporate America does not have any loyalty or fealty to anyone. It is governed by a bunch of managers who don't have any loyalty to anyone. It is owned by investors who don't feel loyal to anyone. Is it any wonder the customer no longer has any brand loyalty? The workers have no loyalty or identification with the employer?
Corporate America systematically reduced its tax burden and transferred it to individuals. It took the liberties and freedom guaranteed to the living citizens. "Corporations are People!". "Spending money is speech!". "Corporations can claim to have religious beliefs!".
There is a border and building a wall to keep out living people enjoys support from a swath of people. There is no border for corporations. Any foreign person, or even the foreign government, can found a company in USA and get all the protections and rights guaranteed by our constitution.
After betraying everyone, and after spending down all the good will, and after looting the middle class to the point of irrationality where they are voting to hurt themselves,.... what do you expect?
The conflict between muslims and buddhists in Sri Lanka or between muslims and hindhus in India or between muslims and christians in the balkans all have centuries long history.
"This is the bridge where they killed 200 of our folks" "Oh, Thats terrible! I must have missed the news, when did it happen? Your family is safe?". "247 years ago, In three years we are planning a 250th year revenge attacks".
Something going on for 1000 years or 600 years, and suddenly Facebook is to blame.
So this is the person replaced by the Music Major, right?
And this guy is so inept he left behind an audit trail while planning to do some insider trading.
How did anyone this incompetent rise to that level on such a critical position in the company? Just yesterday I interviewed a PhD candidate has published six papers as first author, fantastic work that must have taken couple of years of relentless of toiling. Whether I hire him or neither he nor a legion of candidates like this are struggling to get 100K jobs. And this doofus gets to be the CIO with stock options and million dollar pay benefit packages...
Reddit reflects what the people are thinking at deep levels, reveals their innermost thoughts, unrestrained by the need to wear masks, protected by anonymity. Yes, anonymity provides some cover for the malicious trolls. But not all of them are trolls.
What we need to detoxify is our minds, not Reddit. We can pretend everything is hunky dory. These people exist. Most of them would be could be persuaded. We ignore them at our peril. They vote. In large numbers. In off year elections.
These playlists have a following because they have a reputation of creating good quality music selections. If they squander the goodwill by selling out to paid placements, so be it. Free market will take care of it.
In the Radio spectrum is limited and licensed and it was the only free content delivery system for the masses. Since a few people got to be gate keepers, we needed rules to make sure they do not abuse the defacto monopoly status given to them by the government. On the internet, with unlimited opportunities for all players to pitch music, there is a dire need for someone to provide editorial services, find good music from obscure and unexpected sources, draw attention to it and develop a reputation of being a good play list creator. And people will pay for a good play list. It is no different from being an editor of a literary magazine.
It is high time spotify recognizes it and makes it official. Let thousand playlists bloom, market will shake out those who sell out.
If a quarry nearby is storing large amount of dynamite without proper security, would we be worrying about the "possible impact on the legitimate activities of the quarry" or "punishing the quarry for the actions of the miscreants and the thieves"?
Your server is being used by vandals. Sucks to be you. Say bye to you buffers, we are flushing them all.
Go a step further. All public, open , unpatched servers should be given "flush all" command every six hour.
None of the people who were fooled by Russian trolls will admit they were taken by the Ruskies. They will vigorously defend their decisions and justify using whatever they could. And they will destroy every institution that can prove them wrong. Law enforcement, media... any thing that holds a mirror up to them will be declared as libtard unpatriotic sore losers.
Emboldened Russians will meddle even more in the next election.
Low turn out in the off year primaries in just a few states decides the fate of the whole nation.
Combine the Democratic and the Republican primaries and let the top two go for general election. In most red states two Republicans will run for the same seat. Though Democrats will suffer in the short term, there is some chance sanity will return and Republicans will stop fearing being primaried from the right.

Explosives don't kill people, people kill people.
Manufacturing explosives is the tool intended by the founding fathers to protect the citizens from tyranny.
Hey! Almost all the second amendment arguments easily extend to explosives.
Sadly, ... I will be modded down to negative infinity in no time.

Why ban crypto currency alone? That is discrimination.

Yes, you vote for morons who cut corporate taxes and increase personal taxes. So suck it up and pay.
Thats ok. There are lots of people pay gasoline tax and use the gas on lawn mowers and snow blowers. So just suck it up.

That left just talk radio. Talk radio's biggest money maker was Rush Limbaugh, but they paid him so much, the company did not net anything.

You basically admitted you eat up all the fake news you agree with.
You are far too optimistic to think they would want to flog us only once a year.
Most people who think/say "They are all wrong, *I* am the one who is right" are wrong.

Thanks for the correction, I thought lime was calcium carbonate.
