many volvos, land rovers
Sure; Volvos built before the nineties and Land Rovers built fucking never.
Crackhead.
Haven't owned many Land Rover products huh? Out of all the motors they've had over the years, only one turned in to a real lemon towards the end of production, and that was the design they bought from Buick. The old diesels are still used as agricultural motors, and the newer JLR derived motors have had some impeccable design.
"We can't wait for people to experience HomePod, Apple's breakthrough wireless speaker for the home, but we need a little more time before it's ready for our customers,"
Yeah. They can't wait for people to put even more money into their pockets in exchange for the device, more like. Tired of Apple executives and shills pretending to be breathlessly excited about something besides what they obviously only care about.
I, similarly, can't wait for Apple to stop hiding assets offshore and start paying their fare share of taxes like everyone else is SUPPOSED to be.
Also, wouldn't it be nice if Apple would instead focus on loyal customers who are the reason the company still exists, and, oh, I dunno, maybe update the Mac Mini finally?!?
"Fare share." You mean fair share.
Who pays the tax on a good? The consumer. Raise the taxes on a good? Guess who still pays. The consumer.
No just private schools in general. As soon as you place a profit motive on education you get a worse outcome than an well managed non profit system.
But as you just pointed out the way a school run is far more important. However the "on better average" is still up for debate.
So are you saying profit as a motive is bad? If not, then what makes it work some places, and not others?
Private schools have not solved any of American's education problems, actually they did a good job of contributing to it. The private industry is definitely not best place to provide basic education.
Reform the governmental public school system. You can start by cutting out 90% of the worthless political crap.
The private schools that are forced to largely mirror the public ones? Who'd have thought that they didn't do *massively* better, but just on average better:
... the service will start suspending accounts "for organizations that use violence to advance their cause."
No more government-sanctioned posts on Twitter, then? Good riddance.
I wish I could mod this up to a 6.
Because the point of the internet is not to 'be profitable'.
The point of the internet is to share information.
Nothing is free.
This isn't about bandwidth. How could you be so far off in your response?
This is about... what then? CPU cycles?
Bandwidth takes CPU cycles, both on your computer, on your AP, and your firewall/modem.
I can see this becoming worse, especially with encrypted media extensions that obfuscate the presence of a mining tool under the guide of DRM.
I'd argue, that's a good point.
But then, I find that to be a bigger problem with DRM, than anything else. Because anything and everything, could hide under the guise of DRM.
That said, if I ever do get SS checks, you damn well better believe I will cash them. I've been forced to pay in to the system, I'm going to get out what I want.
Roads? Yeah, I'm forced to pay for those too, and alternatives are often not an option due to regulations and laws. So I'm going to use them too.
Same goes with water. I am not allowed to drill my own well, and the county has made sure that there is no competition to my current water provider, so absolutely I'll continue to use them.
I'm no fan of Ayn Rand, but it's the same BS argument used against her taking her gov't checks in the end, "Oh see? She was a welfare whore!" No, she paid in to the system because she had no choice, it would be economically stupid to let them keep it.
No your fucking boss does not have the right to spout political propaganda at you every time you start work. If the boss has that right, you should have the right to punch them in the face if you do not like it.
Why not? If you don't like the job, quit. You're not entitled to stay. Saying you have the right to assault someone for saying something you don't like, makes me wonder if you just started high school.
Yes, Director, the room you're charged with exploring is dark. It's dark not just for you but for everyone. This include people who want to steal our identities or the contents of our bank accounts, who want to take personal pictures or conversations and broadcast them to the world without our consent, who want to perform corporate espionage, who want to see us to prey upon us and our children. Turning on the light may let you see, but you're outnumbered by the criminals in the darkness who are begging you to flip that switch so they too can see. If you're willing to step it up and protect us from all those monsters in the dark, then tell us exactly how you plan to protect us and MAYBE we'll let you flip that switch. But somehow I don't think you want to commit the massive amount of resources that will be needed to protect us. If you don't, we want the light to stay off.
