Meta has forcefully rejected the allegations. In a statement shared with Decrypt, a company spokesperson called the claims "categorically false and absurd...
I won't be surprised if the parties somehow settle out-of-court.
"It was very important for us to show that we are doing this primarily (...) to strengthen our digital sovereignty, to maintain our independence in terms of ICT infrastructure and (...) to ensure that data is only processed in-house,"
Let Austria be ready for `retaliation` from the "mighty" USA.
Blackmail, sanctions and further, all that existing complex electronic gadgetry will immediately need some form of license to operate.
I think there's gonna some pain for the Armed Forces.
...well, doing it the traditional way is fraught with serious risk, to the extent that one particular party stands a fair chance of losing a lifetime of earnings or freedom.
For a heterosexual man, all the other party has to do is to claim "r***e" to have regrets too numerous to mention here.
My suggestion:
Simply make it as easy to cancel, as it is to subscribe/enroll.
Sounds very fair to me...no?
..."I just graduated with a computer science degree, and the only company that has called me for an interview is Chipotle,"
If I were the graduate, I'd simply join an apprenticeship program, almost guaranteeing me a foot in the trades.
At a point in life, one has to realise that these aren't the nineties. The graduate would do well as an electrician, plumber or carpenter in my opinion.
Compared to what is out there, Yahoo, Investor, Bloomberg etc etc, I have always found Google's product to be underwhelming bigtime!
Issues:
* Its interface damn ugly!
* There's almost no structure to the "feedback" one gets once a query is submitted!
* The whole site has a dull color theme. Google thinks users of this product are teenagers with great eyesight!
They now embark on a new task...what's wrong with Google these days?
... but two-way communication was lost the next day and the team was unable to recover the connection. From the limited data ground teams received before the satellite went dark, the craft's solar arrays were not correctly positioned toward the sun, which caused its batteries to drain.
Just asking...
... "AI is already transforming different industries. But we haven't seen many examples of it being used in our industry."...
Why won't they solve homelessness before engaging in all this AI stuff?
A great state that just cannot provide housing to its less fortunate is just so depressing!
I guess I shouldn't blame them for the federal government has served as a mentor on the subject, sad!
...The city aims to "no longer be dependent on American software solutions and acquire true digital sovereignty," according to an official statement.
While I applaud the city for this move, I miss an MS Access equivalent on Linux. In short, there's none that comes close.
There have been efforts in this direction though...
All these show promise, though more serious work is needed.
With Access, one could choose what backend to employ. It still remains an formidable solution for many small office database problems especially with the ability to program business logic into the frontend and report generation.
...If this were a problem you'd see it in the 40% of the market in Australia who are on Android...
I am now advised by inference, that Australia is [technically] an iOS shop, with the close to 60% share.
I agree with you though, that to put it another way, Apple think we're fools and have no brains!
In fact, it could even be viewed as corporate malfeasance to not extract the maximum cost overruns.
I could not have stated it better! After all, the duty of whoever runs a company (in today's USA), is to "maximize shareholder value."
This is one such way to that goal.
"...The project, launched in 2018 with a one-year timeline and $36 million budget, ultimately ran eight years and exceeded costs by $280 million, reaching 780% over budget..."
Can anyone identify what the Pentagon/DoD does really well these days?
One major file they [mis]handled (with shame if i may add), is the way they left Afghanistan with "tails between their limbs"...a total shame for this "mighty" USA.
Just imagine...You spend 20 years fighting thugs in sandals, only to hand over to the same thugs 20 years later with billions spent and further billions in hardware left in their country!
I'll scream "shame...shame...shame..."
"...With about 90% of schools now providing these devices, test scores hover near historic lows -- only 28% of eighth graders proficient in math and 30% in reading..."
bold mine...
An immigrant I hired a few years ago, who had to learn English from scratch, was surprised that his workmates, who'd spoken the language since "age zero", could not write a two paragraph composition of what may have taken place the night before!
And I agreed with him, sadly...and for those that attempted at a report, it was full of slang, grammatical errors and would hardly qualify for the least grade in my opinion.
We're going down folks...
Yes, yes and yes...
Problem is that European governments largely ignore all these efforts!
Dude, where have you been all this long?
The frontline has been moving westward albeit slowly since the beginning, huh!
The only fella who has smelled the coffee is the current White House occupant, who is trying his best to reduce losses to you know who...
I do not know why people fail/refuse to see what is [so] obvious...
Why?
