More compact tech usually increases pricing.
Also the need to have it not break when regularly transported in a backpack etc (think moving parts).
Also it includes a screen and controllers.
They chased him round and round with similar questions about Israel and Hamas. He said it really felt like they were looking for an excuse to say he was a terrorist sympathiser/suspect, so they could apply terrorism laws to him.
No. Things will just get worse.
Your statement has probably been true since 2008. Maybe longer.
Even on the middle east eye YouTube I'm seeing so many appeals to authority and "it's illegal, simple as. Full stop. Not for debate".
Not sure if brigading or what but it really worries me how people think.
It's not like they're stupid, it's like it's uncomfortable for them to think.
Every time I make a tool like this, I try to wind up any Americans in the company by putting the US flag as English (simplified)
and the Union Jack as English
It's a fun back and forth we have switching it between the two (inevitably someone makes a PR to put it back, and we go on)
If they're anything like me, it's the old laptop that you'd install Linux on as an experiment.
And maybe that laptop was only ah... Semi-retired at the time.
"force" in this case means "extort information" or just straight up applied violence, I assume.
Would you accept lies and obfuscation instead?
I can, but I don't want to because it's disrespectful.
Also, I think you'd even get thrown out of middle school for saying this one.
I suspect OP is using it wrong. Usually "the hard R" refers to a really bad "no-no" word.
Though the phrase has probably become a slight meme due to Linus from LTT getting the phrase's meaning wrong in the same way you guys have, but on a live broadcast.
Apparently that alt parks account is super weird and q-like.
They had "140k" members counting protesters (they claim). Seems made up.
For now I'm sticking with the low-but-verifiable numbers. Otherwise we leave ourselves open to being ignored the next time (on numbers/data).
He absolutely did not submit the urine of one of his army of children.
For sure not.
Well, these days who the hell isn't?
My local library has been getting refurbished for a couple of months.
It's really thrown off my ability to do paperwork, as they were the only people around with a working printer.
I actually had to fix the printer at work. Horrible stuff.
If they only get to use their toys in specific cases, they'll pretend it's always that case.
Right now the key words are "insurrectionist" and "terrorist" and "illegals". They say the keyword, they suddenly get the loopholes.
It wouldn't be a stretch to say they suspected "illicit" materials just so they could gear up for their hero LARP.
Probably he didn't care if it was true or not.
It was what he needed to say to get what he wanted.
Checking his memory was an exertion he didn't need to do.
Didn't some police chief say that 10x 1000-person marches would be unmanageable (from a suppression/monitoring perspective)?
I hope that protest leaders took that as advice, rather than the whingeing it was.
For short-term wins I'd go with Neal Asher's "Polity" civilization as at some point in the 20th Century, the AI just decides to take over and become benevolent rulers.
No societal collapse required.
But also a higher risk of enslavement by giant sentient crabs. Your call.
Agreed, but honestly either is ok. I'd prefer the Minds ruling me to humans too.
The main thing that would scare me is the Megadeath scenarios from the Idiran war.
But that seems like a pretty rare thing. Also, they seem to be a lot better at the sex and drugs thing than ST, as well as how they handle crime.
Coming after these guys is Neal Asher's Polity. It's like Culture "lite", And the robots are a bit less "extra".
