No, it isn't "by definition racist"
No they aren't. No one is doing this anywhere.
How do you indicate that in the video?
Wow. This is an incredibly ridiculous and damaging statement.
It's sad that the only way you measure hard work and intelligence is whether or not someone has a six-figure income.
This is part of the problem though. Banks and other lenders should be held responsible for handing out these loans. The onus cannot just be on the homeowners. For every person that simply wanted nicer stuff there are plenty who were fooled into thinking they could afford something that they couldn't.
There are only so many markets big enough for Apple to consider entering. Cars is one of them.
Banking is another. They're allowing people to pay by phone now through credit cards. One day soon it will be an easy transition to just keeping your money in Apple Bank.
I sometimes really love legalese.
But it's absurd.
Maybe built in the camera directly into the app so that the drivers don't have the ability to fake an image's metadata.
And you purposefully left off the last 5 words of this sentence, which is pertinent information.
> He has now been detained for months without charge, and his lawyers say it is in retribution for his reporting on ICE.
Here are just two salient points you seemed to have glossed over.
Texting and other chat applications are instant.
Email used to be a more instantaneous thing, but it has evolved into something that many people want to take a break from, so sending an email might mean that the recipient doesn't see it for hours or days.
"For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem."
This is a perfect example of when tech-minded people get blinded to how complicated some things are for the masses.
I could write a similar column about how he is wasting his time playing golf. Is hitting a ball with a stick and trying to get that ball into a hole the "most important investment you can make is in yourself"? Doubtful.
People waste time in many ways … and they enjoy life in different ways. Not all of life needs to be the constant pursuit of something more, better, new, etc. Sometimes it's ok to just sit back and enjoy it … even if that means playing a round of golf or binging a few episodes of a show on Netflix.
The right to privacy IS a right and NOT a privilege.
So I'm not down with this.
So the idea of just having a single device that automatically integrates with your phone, etc. is appealing to many people.
It's a big shift in technology, but since it is voice interactive, rather than computer/smart phone, I think it does provide an ease of use for older people who might not be as technology savvy.
SNL did a great skit on this … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvT_gqs5ETk
Once someone has a couple of Amazon Echos, for example, why would they add a Google Home or Apple HomePod? I don't think anyone wants to have to configure several devices to have to do the same things (turn lights on/off, etc.)

You can see pricing history (as well as set yourself price alerts) at a couple of different websites such as https://camelcamelcamel.com/
Yes, that is what they are describing. Because of course they are.
What we don't have is video.
And what we don't have is the other guy's account of what happened – because they killed him.
