This is one AC that deserves to be modded up. I already commented, so I can't.
The dude who thinks that the litmus test of if a problem is true is "it impacts rich people fairly"? That AC?
I mean, that sort of works for earthquakes, but I'm pretty sure "being rich" is famously synonymous with "innoculated against commodity shortages."
... What are they talking about? "Gladis, look out, there's a Japanese whaling ship heading in your direction!" "Where's a transparent aluminum tank in a Klingon warbird when you need one!?"
Then they lament, "Those frelling Humpback whales probably got it."
Recall, a feature that promised to track all your PC usage via screenshot to help you remember your past activity.
Who asked for this?
The people at Microsoft who wanted more universal telemetry and activity data, even for non-Microsoft software?
Recall is there to vacuum up all the sensitive data "on" the computer and make it available to Microsoft and their partners for their use.
I liken it to telemetry that can apply to all software / activities on a system - even third-party software - w/o having embed telemetry in any software. Simply screenshot things every few seconds and scan the images with OCR and/or "AI". Truly a horrible situation for the end-users.
This is all fake until I see the European elites private jets grounded.
I just want to make sure I'm following what you're implying.
Your standpoint is that as long as the richest, most influential people in Europe... those with the greatest capacity to trade for any commodity or service that exists... as long as they can leverage their way into a fuel load, then reports of limited supply are false.
That's your position?
Linux Mint may eventually lean more heavily on its Debian roots rather than its traditional Ubuntu base.
And that would be bad why? Sure, Debian moves more slowly than Ubuntu, but but they're also not all-in on Snap. I'll take stability over cutting-edge for most things, especially if things that need more frequent (security) updates, like Firefox and Thunderbird, are also available - as packages. Also, don't most fixes from Ubuntu (and others) eventually get pushed upstream to Debian anyway?
Maybe Trump is just making good on promises to U.S. oil executives/companies -- first killing wind farms and subsidies/credits for renewables and now hampering middle-east oil production and shipments.
Trump pressed oil executives to give $1 billion for his campaign
This is a terrible headline. Really one of the worst in a while, but it's actually The Guardian's fault as that is their headline as well. This is not encouraging people to use more power, but telling them WHEN they should use power. "It's windy and sunny right now, quick, wash your clothes and charge your car!"
Right, not everyone wants a large vehicle. Not everyone is an automotive enthusiast. Seems that's what the big three don't understand.
They do (cynically) understand profit margins though and trucks, SUVs, and muscle cars are more profitable than smaller, economic cars - not only in sales, but maintenance too.
But I don't think any of that applies to a CEO that makes millions.
And comparatively, their U.S. workers *are* slave labor and the rich and Republicans seem okay with that -- pushing for fewer/lower worker safety regulations, less affordable / available healthcare and more expensive insurance, cutting and/or further restricting social safety nets. etc... They're okay with poorer people simply working themselves to death.
"First of all, the Chinese have huge direct support for their auto companies," [Ford CEO] Farley said,
Not allowing consumers to buy those Chinese vehicles kinda props up Ford, and other companies. Some people may buy vehicles solely based on price, but most consider other factors too. If Ford can't compete on those other factors, it doesn't really matter what the prices are. For example, my 2001 Honda Civic Ex and 2002 Honda CR-V Ex (both manuals btw) weren't the least expensive vehicles I could have purchased, but they're (still) reliable and have long maintenance intervals.
The moment you read something like "spectre of
Really hoping that's not the screenplay for next James Bond film.
Each company disputed or took issue with the research, with Google saying it was based on a "fundamental misunderstanding" of how its product works.
There are a few, simple reasons for this. We have to track you (a) so we know if we're not suppose to track you, (b) so we know if our not tracking is working and track how well it's working and (c) in case you change your mind we want all your data retroactively. All the tracking data from when we're not tracking you is stored in a separate database that no one has access to, except when we track statistics on how well the non-tracking is working -- pinky swear.
Wake up guys. Maybe if you locked your nutcases up.......
That's one take, but I don't think it's the most helpful one.
People want to believe (reassuring) fantasies. Religion, for instance. The fantasy that aliens are walking among us is an appealing one. It comes with a side-order of "and some day they may help us with our woes." It comes with a side-order of "we are interesting and valued." It comes with a side-order of "I have figured out things the government is hiding from me."
It's not - in most cases - anything to do with mental illness. It's about the human condition, feeling things like inadequacy and being uncomfortable with responsibility and helplessness. Emotions are not insane, in most cases.
Lock up jihadists (of all sects, not just the ones whose primary languages that word comes from) way before worrying about UFO believers.
"What do you mean people like the AI more than me?!!!"
Or the robot he usually sends out. Can't that just sit in on the meetings? Seems like it fools Congress.
You have a massage (from the Swedish prime minister).
