Wait, you are saying you need a permit to burn tires? ,/EM>

If you don't want to dump all the burning toxins into the air, yes. Or don't you breathe where you come from?

I doubt Trump wants war, he's a businessman, not a soldier.

Yes, you are correct. The draft dodger is not a soldier and has little regard for the military, criticizing Gold Star families and mocking those who died.

However, the reason nothing will happen while he's around is because he admires Putin. Remember when he held up a picture of he and Putin after the Alaska meeting and said he was going to sign it and send it to Putin? It's the same reason he has not put real sanctions on Russia despite the Senate having the bill to act as a sledgehammer. Trump himself said back in July that Putin has 50 days to make a deal. Here we are 88 days after that statement and nothing has been done. He then followed up with a statement in the beginning of August where he said, "We have about eight days. ... We're going to put sanctions," he said. And yet, here we are, two months later and nothing.

Anything that would make Putin look bad, Trump won't do. He wants to do business in the country so any sanctions or military activity is the last thing he would do. His usual word salad is all we'll get.

Correction. A small price for accepting genocide.

It's coming to light due to the private equity buyout lead by esteemed real estate criminal Jared Kushner. This is likely anti-woke washing to entice a class of customers who have already moved along due to EA sucking for lots of other reasons which won't be addressed.

Why solve real problems intentionally created due to mismanagement when you can just play the culture war card and get a bunch of knee-jerk reactions?

Your suggestion is defeated by parents' habit of handing a phone to a child as a digital babysitter. It's how we lost comment sections on animated videos on YouTube in December 2019.

It's not just for Microsoft anymore

The Las Vegas Fry's is still vacant, too. Best Buy has this market to itself.

Until 2009, no other device could play iTunes Store purchases, and there weren't a lot of other legal downloadable music stores. This was one factor for the iPod to iPhone progression. Another was that Google required cellular telephony support in all certified Android devices prior to sometime in the 2.3 "Gingerbread" cycle, which made it impossible to make a direct counterpart to the iPod touch.

The role of middle managers is to execute the plans of upper management. Without middle management the upper management would have to deal with the workers and all the minutiae while at the same time trying to keep the company running.

As Forbes said, middle managers are the overlooked leaders who hold the organization together.

Sharper Image was never that great. Just overpriced Chinese-made products made to look nice.

Well, back when I was a kid, 'autistic' meant, 'screaming and flapping your arms when somebody turned on the light wrong.'

"Rain Man" was a movie about what was, at the time, considered a high-functioning autistic.

Most of what we would nowadays call 'ASD' was just 'quirky' or 'weird' or 'shy.'

Go find a copy of the 1980s nuclear war film Testament. Watch the scenes with the sons. One son, the youngest, has several scenes with things like 'running the TV, a radio, and a record player at the same time,' 'being told that he can't only eat bananas,' 'wearing ear muffs at the dinner table' and so on.

Nowadays, that's clearly stimming, sensory restrictions and ARFID, and probably ADHD, and he's be labelled 'AuDHD'.

Back then? He was just being a kid.

But nowadays, 'doesn't look people in the eye "enough"' means you're ASD, and 'looks people in the eye *too much"' means you're ASD.

Given that we don't even know what 'Autism' is, we ascribe way too much to it.

You can play Apple Music from the Music app on the phone. Unless I missed something, you can't play it from other apps on the phone. And the Music app can't play files written by libimobiledevice, only the music library. You need iTunes to send music to the phone in a form that the Music app can play.

Agreed. It's not the same, but similar issues remain. Investors, both from the stock market and direct, are the ones providing the money. So long as companies keep buying the products, everything is fine.

What has to happen is AI, in all its forms, needs to get its act together. While the market can stay irrational longer than you or I, you, as the company, need to show something for the billions being sent your way. Personally, I believe there will be advances from all this computing power. However, it's going to take time to sift the chaff from the wheat. Once someone, or someones, finds the right combination of software and hardware, that's when it will get interesting. How long that will take is the question and whether investors are willing to keep handing over their money.
