Microsoft has stumbled through a series of major cybersecurity failures over the past few years.
Microsoft has stumbled through a series of major cybersecurity failures, as it has throughout its entire lifetime of existence. Not merely the past few years.
Incumbent US-focused auto makers/sellers, whether HQ'd in the US or elsewhere, should be worried about their own collective abandonment of the market for entry-level cars and small cars in general.
Lucky for them, they are insulated from Reality. Unlucky for us as we have to pay to maintain their ignorance of Reality. But, that is what America has become: A few people utterly disconnected from Reality while an entire country labors away to keep those few insulated from Reality. War will remind them. Sounds fun for the rest of us.
Exactly. In some states itâ(TM)s illegal to even sell a new car direct to the public.
You do realize that there is a reason such laws were passed? Same with movie theaters and movies.
Hint: It is/was for YOUR protection. Somehow or another, it got into someone's head to pass a law preventing vertical monopolies from forming. Those laws were the result. Go ahead and tear them down if you want. I don't have much time left anyways. Why should I care if you work with great motivation towards building vertical monopolies?
If the US domestic industry can't compete, I'm inclined to say it deserves to die. It certainly does not have the consumer's interests at heart, at all.
The literally CAN"T compete. In my lifetime, I have seen 3 major bailouts of American automobile manufacturers. Even just 1 represents an unhealthy industry. Those fuckers just want money, they have absolutely no interest at all in building cars. They build cars just because that is how they print money, not because cars have any intrinsic value.
You can blame CenturyLink and the federal panopticon for your Qwest woes.
Hey man, that panopticon is REALLY important. So important that losing some 911 calls isn't even considered water under the bridge. If thousands have to die in order for Law and Order to prevail, that is a small sacifice that I am willing to make for you.
Yes, a warmer planet is 'all that bad'.
Evidently, nobody fucking cares. They will care when they are gasping for breath, but until then, we will continue blowing CO2 into the atmosphere unabated. The only thing many people will be gasping with their last breath is, "we made lots of profit!".
"You dead bitch. You dead. Why are you still breathing?"
Oh absolutely. But the solution isn't power grids and generators, the solution is stopping our unbounded disposal of CO2 directly into the environment.
Bro, they were talking about shit like this in Mother Earth News almost 50 years ago. If nothing was done by now, what makes you think anything will be done until we are literally dying by the millions or billions?
(Holy shit, the magazine still exists. Likely only online at this point.)
And it's not a battle over memes, it's over who has direct access to the raw data for data mining and who has direct control over an agitprop channel.
So it is okay to have an agitprop channel that is used for data mining? The only issue is who owns it?
Oh my. The bar has been lowered some more.
Spoken like someone who rides a bicycle to work, and has never driven more than 50 miles on a single trip.
Spoken like someone who casually disregards the seriousness of maneuvering a machine much more massive than themselves at speeds that would tear apart a human body easier than a pitbull tearing up a child.
There are no moments, when you are traveling above 20mph (~30kmh) that it is safe to look away or 'relax'. While I do not particularly mind if you are being less safe by using cruise control, I do mind for myself. You would be doing something stupid anyway, like looking at your phone, so why worry about something more trivial like cruise control?
Have you ever driven in an area that isn't flat? Constantly checking speed is taking your eyes off the road frequently. There's nothing wrong with cruise control and still requires attentiveness.
I am not one of those people who think that my way is the right way and must enforce it upon everyone else. That being said, to me, I never use cruise control. The only place it can be used reasonably is on a long and empty highway; otherwise, you will be constantly messing with it. With adaptive cruise control, you won't have to constantly mess it; however, there is a second issue: Your feet and mind need to be instantly available from time to time, and when using cruise control, I find that my feet and mind are not instantly available.
It is simpler to just always be in control. Maybe not easier from an energy usage perspective, but I don't have to deal with suddenly taking full control. Which, over time, is ultimately easier for me.
A real version of this would just quietly accumulate experimental evidence. You wouldn't need to beg for money.
Bingo! Houston, we have a winner here.

What if SpaceTime were a field? If it were a field, what exists outside of that field? What would it even look like to see the area near where the field ends?
But, if SpaceTime were a field, which it most likely isn't as we have no way to even describe it, then this device would be possible. In fact, this device would be the first device to help us explore the concept of SpaceTime as a field.
But yeah, they haven't demonstrated anything serious.
Apart from the third law. You know the equal and opposite reaction one. Without reaction mass (i.e. propellent) there is no reaction.
What if SpaceTime was found to be a field (emitted by mass)? A field that has an electromagnetic possibility.
The assumption is "girls aren't interested" is about as true as saying "boys don't cry".
Interestingly, both boys and girls are heavily influenced as children. Boys are influenced not to cry. You seem them cry fairly often up until about puberty, but even before puberty, they already cry less often than girls do. That is a direct effect of the social programming that we subject our children to.
Girls are taught to be pretty princesses that will carry babies. Of what use is detailed intricate thought when your entire reason for existing is to be an attractive mate? Maybe we should look a little more closely at exactly what we are subjecting our children to? I get all sorts of creeped out when I am watching modern children shows. Sooooooo many assumptions about gender roles despite verbiage designed to appear to say something different.
No matter what was tried we had a hard time recruiting girls.
You have to get them before they are two. By the time they are two, they are already inundated with stories about what role a female can play. How many three year old girls run around calling themselves a pretty princess? Where do they get such ideas? The cartoons and kids shows that are being used to distract the children so the adults can do whatever adults want to do.
I have seen this play out in front of my eyes dozens of times in my lifetime.
