Yeah, nobody is buying this "sustain the development" nonsense.

Somebody needs to keep the servers patched. Somebody needs to keep the app targeting an API that the app stores will host. Bose can afford maybe 1.5 FTE's with redundancy on a rolling basis.

Did they ignore due diligence for a decade and just get nabbed running RHEL 5 and unlicensed Oracle Java on an old VMWare or something?

If Bose is a public corporation perhaps the FTC should have a look at their deliberations.

You would lose and get less money. These are VC/Angel investors and they knew exactly what they were in for.

In a sense it has already begun. Russia has made multiple attacks on people, arms stores and arms factories throughout NATO lands. That includes a suspicious fire at the Scranton arms factory in Pennsylvania and a number of others, that includes Russian agents caught sending explosives to Germany, Poland and the UK, having blown up a big arms depot in Bulgaria and multiple assassinations and attempted assassinations on NATO lands.

On the other hand, they don't want to escalate into open war now. They aren't ready until they hope to rebuild their army with the profit from Ukraine. That's still the main game and what has to be stopped. The current attacks into Poland, Denmark and Germany with drones have the aim of keeping air defenses away from Ukraine. We shouldn't allow ourselves to be fooled and we need our governments to support Ukraine more.

Actual definitions

The creation or propagation of an unfounded or misleading environmentalist image. Cf.

- Oxford

: the act or practice of making a product, policy, activity, etc. appear to be more environmentally friendly or less environmentally damaging than it really is

- Merriam-Webster

Greenwashing is a deceptive marketing practice where companies mislead consumers into believing their products, services, or operations are more environmentally friendly than they actually are

- Wikipedia

Greenwashing is where an organisation makes vague, misleading or even false claims about their product or operations and their subsequent environmental impact. While this concept has been around since the 1960s, it’s gained prominence in recent years amid greater demand for sustainable products from customers and increased pressure and legislation from governments.

None of these are limited to your definition. All match with mine. Specifically putting corn based biodeisel or ethanol into normal fuel is done with claims of environmental benefits where there are none. Communication happens best when people use the standard meanings of words or explicitly say that they want to use something different.

There is literally no way to handle those topics in any commercial entertainment product right now that isn't going to enrage 15% of the audience. Those 15% will certainly use social media to make the normal people who understand it is just a fictional game, to uncomfortable to want to deal with it.

I would have canceled it too. There is no winning marketing something like that right now.

And he has been massively successful!

He has brought inflation down to tolerable levels, he has done a lot to improve the overall fiscal picture.

Trouble is voters like free stuff, they are tiring of austerity and the nation is still in debt up to its eyeballs from past mismanagement. Shocker a few years for doing the right things, does not immediate correct long term structural harm.

Good lesson here for the people keeping the government shutdown so they can shovel more money at the ACA. It does not work, the premiums remain affordable no matter how much stimi you try to use to get healthy people buy more insurance then they need, and with the nation graying it isn't going to get better, the demographics are against it.

Yet there is a segment even among the MAGA crowd that is pissed they see their costs going up. Politically this is problem - that extends beyond health care. We have an entire nation that is hooked on Federal largess but there is no way to pay for it. Let that sink in there is no way to pay for it. You can't generate enough revenue to eliminate the deficit without crushing the economy and you can't cut enough either. It has to be BOTH at this point, and we might already be Argentina. The UK is, and most of the EU probably are too.

I am sure it isnt going to sell a faction of what the original has over any span of its market offering. I would not be so quick to assume they wont still sell a lot of them.

Keep in mind the original was as far as mass market US in the US a 1980s today. I think it showed up a little earlier in the UK. This a gen-X nostalgia item. Older X'ers are hitting retirement age now. While it took them a little longer than the boomers many of them did alright economically.

The timing is spot on for remakes of the 1980s pop culture items. See Naked Gun and Spaceballs remakes, the resent explosion in retro-computing stuff, return of the Ford Bronco, heck even in US Presidents in some ways :-P. There is a huge market push to sell stuff to people who were in the mid-20s in the early-to-middle 80's right now because those folks at at a stage of life where they have disposable income and time. Everyone's first instinct is generally to return to hobbies they once loved, maybe share it with their grand kids in some way etc.

Don't agree. Corn based biodiesel/bioethanol is an example of doing lots but ending up achieving nothing good. You put a label on your fuel that it's "green with plant based ethanol", and people think they are doing good by buying it. However, the carbon emissions from the fossil fuel based fertilizers used to grow the corn are greater than the saving from using ethanol.

That's very specifically greenwashing because it makes the end product seem like Brazilian sugar cane based bio-ethanol, which actually *is* better, but does that without delivering any valid environment benefit.

There's nothing wrong with your links, but they do say that some crops are bicarbonate tolerant and others aren't. Presumably TFA's Brazilian farmers are farming something that likes Bicarbonate. Presumably this process would not work for farmers growing blueberries. You do definitely want to be careful with this stuff though and do some serious ecosystem research to show that there are whole integrated soil and water systems that can benefit from this before you start doing it at scale.

Oh, that's way down South. Are they even human there? (Joke... joke .. bad joke).

We always got our from the northern lakes / Keswick. I remember peppery but not that much. Definitely worth having a look around if you ever travel through there. The AI claims that the main differences are butcher to butcher rather than area to area. Definitely remember sage flavour in there, though.

Courts have often ruled that various forms of compelled speech violate 1A.

I think court got this one right though. There is a bright line here. The law requires disclosure of an activity the business is engaged it. It isnt requiring business to engage in anything speculative or discuss what any others are doing or may do, for example forcing you to disclose the existence of a competitor or that they might offer a lower price.

1) from what I have read so far it won't be the application itself, instead, you will use Facebook messenger or whatever and that will send to a third party app which will do the scanning.

2) that app then sends some notification of what it has found

So in order to attack this, simply include an image proposing a new meeting of whichever group of democratic dissidents you want to attack. Perhaps include a photo of an innocent naked child so you can block publication later but make it transparent and difficult to spot so nobody realizes and reacts.

Now, when your targets receive literature about their meeting, you will get a ping from the phone, either with the image itself or the ID of the image and you know who to pick up on the streets. It is not an accident that Hungary is one of the countries pushing for this.

The CSAR requires every piece of suspected CSAM that is not “manifestly unfounded” (for example, a picture of a kitten that has been mistakenly flagged as CSAM) to be reported to national police for investigation

That's only if you assume you have a right to the money that the Fed lent you when you were paid your wages. In fact, that money really belongs to the billionaires and you should thank them for the time you were allowed use of it. Once you understand that, you'll see that the SEC and the FED really work for Trump and Coplan (at least as of this deal) and so there's no conflict of interest.

\s ? \j? maybe \{jokes no longer possible, now truth *is* the joke}.

This really really depends. When "the incumbents" are a large number of small companies with a bunch of competition and they actually produce a decent product, it might be a real benefit that the people actually know what they are buying.

When the "incumbent" is some huge company using rules about every place of production having to have it's own laboratory to stop small companies coming in, that's a disaster.

A good example is the "Cumberland sausage" that was mentioned above, where, if you get an actual British made Cumberland sausage according to the specification then you are getting something which is much better than the alternative that you might otherwise get.
