It is also almost always bad for shareholders when companies are merged. Let's say there are two competing companies, I could myself as an investor chose where to put my money, in one or the other or both. When they merge I lose the ab

They were given exemptions but facebook doesn't say if they were used, only that they could have been in theory? Give me a break. Why would they ask for and be given an exemption if it was not to use the features.

My last genuine Model M was from 1987 and it died a few years ago. I bought a Das Keyboard and it has been a great replacement :) The layout of Model M and the tactile feedback is simply the best.. I type much faster on it than anything els

Of course, I have long since added this list[1] to my openbsd firewall. That is besides the point, I can (and do) also block all crap in my browser via extensions. That doesn't make the crap they are pulling legal and I refuse to click

Oil companies can still get licenses and drill in Norway, they just have to pay taxes (80%) and that won't change. The people decided in two referendums that they do not want to be in the EU, but the politicians did not accept it and c

Can you even buy enterprise as a private person? All I can see on their webpage is "request a quote" and the form requires a business name.

Right now we are in the worst position. We have to accept all EU rules but we don't have any influence over it. I'd take full membership over that any time but the politicians don't want to risk a 3rd referendum. So we'r

Microsoft _still_ does not let me turn off "Basic usage data/telemetry" being sent to them. I tried to call them about it a month ago and they hung up on me. The one computer in my house running windows is still blocked with

I was expecting a large properly formatted data table but it was a video ;) I guess the analyst in me wants something else than the general public.. Still quite interesting though.

I considered buying labo for my kids but I thought the cardboard would be destroyed in a week max. How does it hold up? I have two, one is three and the other is seven. We've cleared odyssey at least two times as well, and I catch the

I'll check it out. Seems to be a bit french though for the moment and I'm not that well spoken in french :) That brings another thing to mind, I tend to output stuff from Kdenlive with CRF 12 which results in quite high bitrate fo

Agree, the UN in it's current form is a joke. I have no idea how an ideal structure for this would be, if even one could be created. "Power corrupts" is still as true as it was in 1870.

Any peertubers here doing let's plays? I have some on youtube, but it's just a hobby and I don't monetise it, but because of that I have a feeling that it's being scored lower in the youtube ranks. However I have not see

That would be the UN but with policing power. I'm not opposed to the idea either. I'd also like it to hold government ministers/officials personally responsible for a states breaches of basic human rights. But the problem lie

If you account for most other significant things like income, education, social status, job etc you will find that ethnicity is not significant. The fact that you can sometimes use ethnicity as a proxy for social status and other things jus

I make credit scoring models for a living and I can tell you that in most countries you won't find "proxies" or any other strong variables just by applying "machine learning". Usually when you try neural networks in

That's pretty neat. I wonder what happens if it starts to being used like youtube. I see the top LP has 37k views, that's about as much as a video from a medium tier youtuber. The cost of storing/processing/serving video

It was to stop them from fleeing the service altogether I think. Google at least kneejerked enough to make it appear that was the case to me.

They can't call them "customer deflection team" :) AS for the parents, I also have absolutely horrible experiences with Microsoft support, in fact last time I contacted them with a problem they hung up when they couldn't

It's the response of a dominant player. Microsoft had the exact same stance when they had the 360 while Sony on the struggling PS3 wanted cross play.

Yes, I think you are right, the race to the bottom is inevitable unfortunately...

I'd go for it as long as they use fresh undamaged and proper ingredients completely devoid of preservatives, corn starch etc. The cleaning of the machine has to be top notch too and done several times a day I think. If done properly it

I think this is more an American thing and I don't see much of it here in Norway (arguably another western country). A lone ranger will not find much sympathy even if the solution works. Not only does it apply in a company setting but

I've notice that some of the new fancy webapps that boosted of being write once run everywhere have issues in firefox. Most notably is asana (it sometimes makes firefox use 100% cpu) and slack. Unfortunately we have slack at work but w

That's one of the reasons I frequent this site, so I don't have to wade through dozen bad homepages laden with adds to find interesting articles. And it is also why I used RSS in the past but I wonder how that will be handled.

There is a paid option if you use adblock in google apps for business. I find the service is actually quite good, but I'm currently investigating moving to protonmail instead.
