Cheaper before or after you factor in the 5% Prime discount that you lose by not having their credit card?

If China was evil why would Empire of the Sun film their most iconic video there and why would China let them?

You sentence is missing grammar or something and doesn't make sense. What are you trying to say?

What has a film from 1987 that was filmed at Elstree Studios in the United Kingdom, and on location in Shanghai and Spain, got to do with the current situation with China, US and Microsoft?

But what if comcast don't want to install and run a higher bandwidth streaming server on my Lan? Even if they do, who will pay for the electricity?

Maybe, just maybe, they are part of the 99% of employees who worked unpaid overtime, came in at the weekend, cancelled vacation time that they had booked months in advance, bought tools and supplies out of their own pocket to get the job done and still never got a raise or a promotion and had to train the new guy who was employed as their superior on twice their pay but had no idea about the company's products or the production process?
Doing that repeatedly for a decade or two will make you jaded.

So, you don't need to know where on the filesystem an mp3 is because every single file is correctly ID3 tagged and you can remember the artist and/or title of every track?

Isn't that like how you don't need a menu system to look for a rarely-used application whose name you have forgotten because you can just type the name of it into the search bar?

So the question "Why can't I run macOS on an iPad with external peripherals for input and the screen used only for display with the touchcreen aspect disabled?" is answered with "Ah, well, you see, it would mean rewriting all the macOS and apps so that they work with a touchscreen!".

Is it just my reading comprehension which is failing? Am I taking crazy pills?

What happens when that salt comes down in the rain in areas that donâ(TM)t normally get much salt? Sounds ecologically bad.

You're basically saying you can't go off grid or perhaps the other side of the planet. You can't spend a week hiking Kilimanjaro or Patagonia or on a live aboard scuba diving the Great Barrier or visiting in-laws 11 time zones away in Australia. These are things I like to do. My personal time is not ruled by work. If you can do this, your boss doesn't need to contact you when you're closer to home or even staycationing.

Sounds like youâ(TM)re afraid of an abusive boss. If they retaliated against me for something like that, weâ(TM)d be talking a lot of money for constructive dismissal. If you have a client paying a million a month, your boss can afford to have a second person who can cover for you. In fact, they better have a second person because otherwise they are being negligent having truck count one. In this case, who is putting the business at most risk or causing the most damage, you or your boss?

Just to clarify, I'm pretty sure that potentially political terms of service/content moderation is what the two representatives were complaining about. I didn't mean to imply that you were upset by it.

The flip side is that, to misquote Douglas Adams, the Internet is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is.

On Facebook alone, there are about 4.75 *billion* things shared every day. If you assume that someone can make a moderation decision in 5 seconds, it would take a team of 1.2 million employees to review the content, and it gets worse if the moderation decision takes longer. That's why most moderation assumes that a human being sees something wrong and reports it. Between the major content sites, you could probably employ every single person in the U.S. as a content moderator and still not have time to do even a cursory manual review of all of the content.

Automated flagging plus user reporting still produces three million reports per day, requiring 30,000 content moderators, many of whom are quickly traumatized by the graphic content and leave for other jobs.

If content moderation were a realistically easy problem to solve, it would have been solved by now. The fact that even very large companies struggle with it is exactly why we have to have laws limiting liability for things slipping through the cracks. No small company could possibly hope to pull it off.

I prefer not to have any work device with me when I'm on holiday. If the there's an emergency, they can fly me back to the UK and compensate with extra time off in the next school holidays. This ain't going to happen! I try to ensure I'm not truck count one. It helps my boss is in Germany these days rather than the US and he has more holiday than me and respects people's personal time.

None of the changes in macOS have really bothered me, except one: I can no longer launch Activity Monitor as root. This used to be a convenient way to keep an eye on other root processes. You can do the same with other command line utilities, I just donâ(TM)t find them as convenient.

The fact that they are suggesting allowing the largest companies in the field to write the laws that govern them is, frankly, downright terrifying. The coversation shouldn't be limited to big tech companies. Otherwise, you're likely to end up with laws that don't affect big tech companies much at all, but severely undermine smaller sites (the sort of sites that these laws were primarily intended to protect).
