I’m willing to bet that the people who switch to Firefox for ad-blockers and ad-free YouTube aren’t the kinds of people who are donating much to Mozilla. People in online forums talk a big game about wanting to pay for products and not be the product. But it seems like people don’t really want to pay any meaningful amount of money for a browser.
It’s kind of their whole thing though. It’s how NASCAR got started. Without it, it would kill a large part of their tourism.
Tbf, there are American beaches known for being drivable. Specifically, Daytona Beach.
I like that Fahrenheit has a narrower range for degrees. 1C is 1.8 degrees F. So, F allows you to have more precision without the use of decimals. Like, 71F feels noticeably different to me than 64F, but that is only a 3.8 degree difference in C.
That isn’t consistent with K and C though. -K doesn’t exist. And water doesn’t become more frozen at -C (well I guess it technically becomes different kinds of frozen).
Zero in that sense represents the absolute limit that one could exist in a particular state, which for F would be comfort? I guess the issue with humans is that 0 would be very subjective. But I think for almost all humans, the limit would be closer to 40F than 0F.
Since when are green tomatoes toxic? I eat fried green tomatoes every summer…
I was a bit before I realized it was a pine cone.
The shorts kind of help feel warmer if you are bundled up everywhere else. It focuses the feeling of cold on your legs where it feels less bothersome.
That’s why I’m storing up on brown fat in my youth.
It’s like a game of chicken where you win by being the last one wearing shorts deep into winter.
Maybe they should be illegal?
To add to this, vegetable is a culinary term and not a scientific term. Whereas, fruit can be both. Tomatoes are scientifically a fruit, but generally not from a culinary perspective.
What are you talking about? Google does not give law enforcement information without a warrant or valid subpoena.
You clearly have no idea how any of this works and are fear mongering based on sound bites you may have heard. I work in this field and I know that Google (at least in the US) won’t just hand over data without a valid warrant or subpoena. Now this can be a FISA warrant where the defendant (imo) doesn’t have proper due process rights, but it is still a court order requiring them to comply.
Yeah, I realize it’s worse than that… When did I say otherwise? I even started off the comment by stating that Apple and Google’s privacy features were made for anti-competitive reasons, not to benefit the consumer.
Your type of fear-mongering isn’t really helpful though. It just makes people feel powerless to large corporations and makes people try to address the wrong issues. It’s important to accurately state what they are collecting and how they are using that data. We spent a decade complaining about Google not respecting privacy and selling data and what we got was Google gaining even more power. Because, that wasn’t what Google was doing or their end goal.
To say they are part of it kind of implies they even had a choice. When Yahoo tried to fight being a part of the program they were going to be fined $250k a day.
Only for things that are on Google’s servers. If you have something that’s on-device police will use something like Cellbrite to access it.
The vast majority of stuff Google has on their servers isn’t really all that useful to law enforcement anyway and Google requires a search warrant before handing it over. And they generally notify the user when it happens (when legally allowed to do so). Most useful would probably be location data, but law enforcement can also get similar information from cell phone companies (who are much more carefree about handing over subscriber data).
Google and Apple are both actually kind of a pain to deal with for warrant related stuff. In my line of work, I most often see subpoenas for cell phone providers and social media records as those are much easier to get.
People often act like Google is just handing out user user data to the highest bidder, but that really misunderstands their profit model. They are very protective of user data. Google does not like to give it out so that only they can be the ones to profit off of the data.
From what I’ve heard it’s been harder for law enforcement to get into Android phones now.
Also, the whole privacy features only make Apple’s data gathering more valuable because they become the only ones that can access that information. Google caught on and is doing the same thing with their privacy features. Privacy features are nice, but it’s naive to think that Apple and Google don’t have other ulterior motives with implementing them.
There are some dishes that should only be handwashed though. Most knives, pots, and pans shouldn’t be dishwashed. Even the ones that claim to be dishwasher safe will not last as long if dishwashed.
No thanks. If this is remotely successful these fucks will next use it to Minority Report us.
Samsung had my favorite version of the slide phone with the Samsung Epic 4G Touch Galaxy 2.
