Wtf is a "vulgar sense of entitlement"? And how can that possibly apply to a government agency? This is just word salad from the conservative talking points generator.

If the goal of this meme was to start a discussion pointing out all of the shortcomings or nuclear or was very successful.

Plenty of benefits, but pretty far from problem free.

When can we start talking about fusion again?

Predates the 8086, truly a marvel of the transition point of biological to mechanical engineering.

Once again pirates get the best service.

Your next flight, a minimum of 22 minutes of uninterrupted flying time during every hour in the air!

And literally everything else and cramming it into one universe

Based on what I know of roommates:

Use someone else's dishes

Eat off dirty dishes

Eat off of the counter

Buy new dishes

The article is being disingenuous about data not being deleted unless it's overwritten with 1's and 0's. Technically that's true, but:

Most data being deleted is equivalent to a piece of paper being placed in a trashcan, and it's "permanently" deleted when that trash gets hauled away to a landfill (or supposedly recycling but that's another topic). Technically it's still forensically accessible, but it isn't accessible by any normal means. That piece of paper may not have been incinerated, but for the majority of practical purposes, it's gone.

Apple never hauled the trash away, even though they claimed they did. There should be no way for them to accidentally restore those photos, just like there's no way for you to accidentally get a piece of paper back in your trash bin after it's been sent to a landfill.

Focusing on the 1s and 0s skips past the fact they failed to complete the first, obvious, essential step. If they didn't delete it the simple way, they would never have gotten to the 1s and 0s step. This isn't just a simple oversight, and those pictures were still very easily accessible, just not to the people who should have been in control of them.

That's skipping over the fact that recovering deleted data, even if it isn't overwritten, is not an "oops". It it takes extra effort, and if that data isn't being protected it would be overwritten incidentally as drives are used.

There is a big difference in a database between "flagging" data and actually removing the association of the data to the database.

Eh, or they just don't want a forever history stored on their own computer any more than they want it stored on someone else's computer.

Can't read the post past the giant subscribe things banner :/

Thank you!

Research by Forbes magazine found there were 15 billionaires aged 30 or under but that none had created their own wealth (...)

None over 30 created their own wealth either.

Definitely relevant to the work from home situation.

Good graph, hate the presentation of "X times less". Just not intuitive and very frequently calculated incorrectly.

"A dream. It's perfect": Helium discovery in northern Minnesota may be biggest ever in North America (www.cbsnews.com)

"A dream. It's perfect": Helium discovery in northern Minnesota may be biggest ever in North America::For a century, the U.S. Government-owned the largest helium reserve in the country, but the biggest exporters now are in Russia, Qatar and Tanzania. With this new discovery, Minnesota could be joining that list.

Hopefully we stop wasting this limited resource on fucking balloons.

Edit: well this kicked off a fun and respectful conversation. The information I can find from actual scientists says wasting helium on balloons is bad. The balloon lobby says it is just a waste byproduct. The balloon lobby brings nothing of value to the world in terms of plastic or helium use, so I'm going to go with the science opinion on this one.

It's unfortunately their business model is 100% extortionate bullshit.

Which isn't the point of the article. I'm glad this is being reported on and hope that type of competition leads to better working conditions.

solarvector ,

What fight? Google is making money, and nearly everyone is playing Google's game following their tune. Google is definitely not losing.

Worker and citizen maybe... consumer is more appropriate for the billionaire class as well.
