Seriously, your kid is abducted and you wont fork out $150 to track him down?
Seriously, you're sticking up for a multi-billion-dollar corporation that refused to help find a missing child without being paid first?
To OP: these issues impact even computer systems administration
You certainly wouldn't know that from the summary or the headline. Agree w/ OP and would mod him/her up
So what's going to happen to these ugly skyscraper-stumps full of cars?
There's one in the process of being built about 5 miles from our house on the outskirts of Fort Worth; it was still under construction the last time I was by there, albeit still just a frame without glass, signage, or cars. I never expected Carvana to last long-term, and I've wondered when I see these what it'll be like in a couple of decades to drive past one that's been repurposed and still recognize it, kind of the way you can still recognize the odd former Howard Johnson's or A&P store.
I guess we may not have to wait as long to find out.
... was to cancel Amazon Prime this past year, because we were sick of the way they pay/treat their workers (we have personal friends who used to be employed by Amazon and their struggles are real); because we don't like what they're doing to entertainment IPs that we love (Wheel of Time, Lord of the Rings), and because we don't like the net effect the company's business model has on retail and commerce.
The winning move is not to play.
Do take a look at Andor. Created by the same guys as Rogue One, which is generally considered to be the best movie in the Franchise since Empire Strikes back, and starring one of the protagonists in the movie.
I've seen it's gotten generally good reviews, and I did really enjoy Rogue One. I'll give it a look.
Disney has lost me as a fan with their treatment of Star Wars. I have no excitement for the characters, the universe, or the stories anymore. The poor planning that led to the botch of the final three films; the way they've treated characters like Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi (with Obi-Wan being essentially reduced to a supporting cast member in the show named for him); the constant stream of content that seems like it's being shoveled out to "do something" with the brand.
I don't feel like "muh childhood" is being ruined. It's not hatred I'm feeling toward Star Wars or J.J. Abrams or Kathleen Kennedy, or anyone involved at this point. Just apathy. Just a feeling of
The only thing I still hope for is a carefully-done Blu-Ray transfer of the original trilogy (i.e. Episodes 4, 5, & 6) as they were released in the theaters - not the "Special Editions." It would sell like crazy
... by using that term incorrectly. I don't care if it gets you fewer clicks to say "data breach" in the headline, editors. Do it anyway, because it's the right thing to do.
Actual doxing is done with intent, i.e.: "for reasons such as online shaming, extortion, and vigilante aid to law enforcement". There's no such thing as "accidental doxing," just like there's no such thing as "accidental murder" - courts, journalists, and most people recognize the difference between murder and involuntary manslaughter. Using "doxing" out of context like this waters down the impact of what can be a life-destroying act.
The three rifle volleys fired at a U.S. military funeral are not a "21-gun salute." The three rifle volleys are a ceremonial holdover from wartime burials; the fact that a 7-person rifle team often fires the salute is a cause for confusion.
In actuality, a 21-gun salute is an artillery or cannon salute of 21 (blank) shots fired in succession, used as a ceremonial salute to a head of state. In the United States, the artillery shots that are fired just after a new U.S. president is sworn in are probably the most noticeable modern-day usage of a 21-gun salute.
Source: "Three-volley salute" as opposed to "21-gun salute."
"Today, FRT is used to unlock your phone, verify your identity, board an airplane, access a building, and even for payment"
... but by what percentage, relatively speaking, of people? And how many of them actually choose to use it?
I don't use FRT to unlock my phone or verify my identity, ever - I don't trust the technology, and philosophically I don't want to rely heavily on something I can't easily replace if it's compromised (i.e. it's a lot easier to get a new plastic card with a different EMV chip than a new phone, or a new face). I can't answer the "board an airplane" question, but that's its own relatively uncommon subset (I fly 2-3 times per year in a non-COVID year, and I already expect heightened security in that context). Edge cases don't justify the rapid expansion of this technology for no good reason.
