Liquid fuels are easy, just grow soybeans or corn, depending on which fuel you need
Meanwhile the family has starved to death because you decided to use your 8 litre (correct spelling thank you very much) piece of crap to go get a single fish on a "hunting" expedition.
I'm surprised that they even had anyone left in the music team.
The App went from a buggy, but usable player, where you could create playlists, listen to whole albums and was overall pretty good.
However, with every "update" it got more buggy and more unreliable then...
Earlier this year, they decided to switch to a Spotify model for the free version. People lost all the playlists, purchased music vanished, the app constantly crashed, it would just stop playing, if you got it working in the first place and was generally unusable.
If you think this is over exaggeration, on Android it went from about 4.6* to 2.7*. Given how many reviews there were in place before, it takes a huge amount of bad reviews to force it down that much.
'Why was a robot that's intended to carry boxes strong enough to inflict fatal injuries?"
The same reason the crane I use to lift a 150kg engine block can lift 3 tonne. Because I also lift 750kg engines.
Just because it's doing that one job, doesn't mean it will always do that job.
Yeah, while we're at it, can we not build ANY infrastructure as it's a waste of money (HS2 exempt), and don't bother with Libraries, leisure centres, parks, cleaning, building main.
All a waste of money.
Give it to a hard done by consultant, as he has to work almost a 3 day we week, and those nurse that spend all day on the computer doing fuck all.
You want money for the NHS? Reduce waste, sack the lazy and useless ones (there are a LOT in the NHS), reduce bureaucracy, get rid of much of the management and get value for money.
The NHS isn't underfunded, it's badly run.
....this smacks of yet another Satanic Panic / Parental Advisory / Blame anything else.
The real issue is you have a social culture that ACTIVELY encourages greed and violence.
When the kids are surrounded by negative news, programming and print media that CONSTANTLY says in order to be happy you need to be rich, no matter who you shit on to get there, is it any wonder the kids (and adults) left behind are depressed. Throw in the huge cultural , economic and political polarisation that is getting worse year on year and you have all the makings of a broken society
Want to be rich?
Work 100 hour week and throw morals out the window.
Want to get the perfect partner?
Get Botox, your teeth whitened and straightened, go to the gym for 8 hours a day and don't forget the spray tan.
Which way do you think? You can only think OUR way. Everything else is wrong.
My advice I give to my kids (it took me almost 50 years to find this out).
If you want to be happy, do what you want, not what others expect. Be who you want to be, not the person others want you to be. You can be rich, but what good is being rich if you hate yourself and everyone around you.
Wow full on climate deniers today. Must be getting a more US centric site by the day.
"Global warming is natural".
Yup over thousands of years, not less than 200.
"Did it wipe us out last time?"
Ahh surviour bias in full action. Try asking the massive amounts of people that did die through famine and note the huge mass migration that happened before boarders existed. Or are you so naive that you think an ice tundra is capable of supporting several thousand people in a few hundred square km?
Interesting spin there.
So it's OK for a startup to use other people's hard work, but once successful, you can't use theirs.
So classic bait and switch.
Here is a simple solution. If you want to "protect" your work, start with a closed license from day one, so you don't cream off other people until you decide to stick up the middle finger.
"Here is yet another bodge workaround."
As ANYONE with any real world experience will tell you, use the right bloody tool in first place
Yes I can use an adjustable spanner, or mole grips to keep tightening the nut, or I can hammer a screw in, or use Excel to do a job it was never made for, but in the end it WILL go wrong.
If they didn't use the SatNav, would this of still happened?
Yes, then it's not Google's fault.
No, then it's still not Google's fault.
Why?
I live in rural Shropshire and many, many roads are 60mph. On great deal of these, if you go above 20mph, you are riskng ending up in a ditch, a hedge or slamming into a car or tractor around the blind bend.
You drive to the conditions and the surroundings, end of.
If you are unfamiliar with the road and it's dark, slow the fuck down.
15 years ago I attended my Ex's masters graduation at one of the UK's top Universities.
I'd say 90% of all the maths and science graduates had names of Chinese origin.
Being part of the Russell's group, I'm pretty sure they were well funded overseas students, just not sure from where, but I'll take a good guess.
On a side shift, the justification that Adobe, MS (office) and a HUGE amount of industry software house charge so much, is they EXPECT you to be making money off it, so effectively you are paying the fees in advance.
Really it would be like saying if Photoshop was FREE, then they would want a cut.
