"Apple has never offered a product that justified a large chassis. It used to be lots of slots, hard drives and other storage that justified it. Macs have never been about that"
I see you don't remember the 68k Macs OR the PPC Macs. Apple offered machines with lots of slots ever since the Macintosh II line. HTH.
Too much latency for RAM.
You mean running them on an external GPU? That doesn't take much bandwidth unless you're constantly loading new models.
They gave the Chinese government access to Chinese user's data years ago. They don't seem to have an issue with governments gaining warrantless access to their systems.
Chinese law doesn't require a warrant for such access and it may be done in secrecy (i.e. without informing the user) if necessary to perform duties. The problem with Apple in China isn't that they aren't following the law, it's that they are and the law is openly fascist.
Check his posting history and it's very clear that he is not.
If he is not a trollbot, he is so frothy as to be indistinguishable from one. Every comment is the same.
Mobile Firefox has become nearly unusable. It crashes on me at least once per day now. The memory leaks are worse than ever.
Dice isn't relevant here, it's B1zX
There's no such thing as technologically unable to comply.
If a nation state law enforcement insists, they will make you comply, and you and I will never hear about it.
A simple OS update with "If phone MAC == XXXXXXXXXX then send copy to FBI", targeted specifically at one phone, deployed only to that one phone, would go entirely unnoticed by the world.
And Official Secrets Act / equivalent, combined with a government-NDA and jail time for talking about it's very existence is literally routine. Has been since the days of black boxes in ISPs and them tapping Google's inter-datacentre links.
If someone like the FBI, NSA, MI5, GCHQ, etc. wants you to do something... you have literally zero choice in the matter. And talking about it will get you immediately jailed. And it really doesn't matter how big you are.
You think that Whatsapp end-to-end encryption is just going to make GCHQ etc. go "Oh well, nothing we can do?" No. If they need it, there'll be a guy knocking on your head office with a bunch of people, he'll only tell you why he's there in a closed meeting, you will comply, even if that means throwing everyone out of the datacentre and doing it yourself, and if anyone hears what he asked you to do, you will go to jail.
Been the same for decades. They just don't use it for ordinary crimes and petty stuff, mostly because of the resources they have to deploy to ensure that it stays quiet.
"The tool won't be used for evaluation purposes, but is designed to provide a better estimate of employee workloads."
Yeah, specific employees.
Anyway, this is a good point, people can only stare at a screen for so long, unless they're playing video games. Obviously they need to gamify trading. I mean, more than they already have
Seems to be evidence that your joke is too true to be funny.
That is exactly the space I am always trying to inhabit. Sometimes I even get there.
Or how about a higher tax rate if the profits are based on proven lies?
Taxing bad behavior is just another variation of the evil bit, or vice versa I suppose.
I really don't understand why the only two women candidates that Democrats have run have at least appeared to be at the authoritarian end of their party.
There are two main problems with Democrats. First problem, they are not actually left enough. They are solidly in the pockets of big business, they always vote to increase funding to the MIC, etc etc. They are mostly just as addicted to money as Republicans. (On average it costs more to bribe them, which is mildly interesting although it doesn't change anything for us - it's been studied and it costs more in "donations" to get them to vote like shitheels, but they still do it.) Second problem, which is related to that problem: they think they can court the right wing. Well, they fucking can not. They shift right to try to get votes and it doesn't work. They keep going conservative and losing, and they do it with such gusto that it's difficult to believe it's not on purpose.
Harris failed to condemn genocide for both of these reasons, and that is a huge reason why younger voters stayed home. I don't disagree with anything you said, but I still believe that's a huge factor here.
You don't get to claim to be one if you're not actually living the faith and, as you're obviously not Catholic,
Correct, I am not a simp for the world's longest running child rape conspiracy.
you certainly don't get a fucking say in it.
I don't need to have one. You actually do get to claim to be one if you're not actually living the faith, and you know who decided that? The church. In between raping children and relocating child molesters to other locations so they can rape more children, the priests and bishops and popes took some time out to say it's OK as long as you keep trying to come in and give them money and children.
so I have to say in some way a black president would be held to a higher standard?
Absolutely. For one thing, it will not be tolerated if they wear a tan suit.
I don't care what their race or sex is. I'm concerned about their age, religion, and views on war crimes and slavery.
We know Obama did war crimes because he told us about them. That's how brazen the servants of the MIC have become. (inb4 I get accused of racism this time: We know Trump does more drone strikes without due process than Obama did, because until Trump rescinded Obama's EO on reporting of such strikes, he was doing four times as many of them.)
Do we really want mass unemployment and business failures because of a giant con job?
We The People? Not most of us. TPTB? Yes, they sure do. High unemployment is just the thing when you want people to volunteer to be cannon fodder for your endless war.
