Windows is the platform most open... ly hostile.
Okay, an attempt at a translation:
Nadella: "Windows is the most open platform there is"
Translation: Windows is the platform most openly hostile to users.
I doubt that Nadella is actually CEO of Microsoft. He seems far too socially inept. I'm guessing he was chosen as a kind of front man because he was less obviously annoying than others who were considered.
I also doubt that the former CEO, Steve Ballmer, was actually CEO. Business Week Magazine called Steve Ballmer "Monkey Boy" on the cover of the magazine. Could someone called Monkey Boy run a technology company? -

Re:Sure thing
That is not, and I quote, "she asked someone at the IMF in the EU about if Greece was getting a bailout, so her son in law could make a big bet on it happening". Nor is that anything other than a hasty "PIs ask your econ team to review." written by Hillary. That's the chair of the commodities trading commission, sending information to the Secretary of State, on a topic that it was her job to deal with, and her forwarding it to her team. Yes, the secretary of state's job is to stay on top of the most major international political issues of the time, for crying out loud - how can you possibly think otherwise? Or did you think that Greece was not one of the most (actually, *the* most) pressing international political issues of the time? She was repeatedly and regularly dispatch to meet with Greek and other European officials on the topic.
The fact that her son in law made bad choices of investments in Greece despite being related to a top US government official should make it obvious how little communication there was between the two on the issue. But no, because she talked to an aide, and that aide talked to someone who works on the Clinton foundation, and Chelsea is in the Clinton foundation, and Chelsea's husband is investing in Greece, that means that Hillary Clinton was carefully manipulating Greek investment funds with insider info - it's all so obvious!
The other thing you linked is also not anything written by Hillary. It's about how a Canadian company (who had given to the Clinton foundation) was bought by the Russians, and in the process a number of different US government officials signed off on the sale - one of them being Clinton. Wow, stop the presses, clearly that's totally like having an email saying "If you give me money, I'll approve your sale"! Do you realize how many things the Secretary of State's office has to sign off on? She didn't even have veto power on the deal. And do you know how many different donors have given to the Clinton foundation (which, by the way, is not "money to the Clintons" - it's a charity that Charity Watch gives it's highest possible rating, unlike Trump's charity, which was basically a scam and was recently delisted by the government of New York, which is also investigating criminal charges)?
Both Fact Check and Politifact call the accusations concerning Uranium One that this was some sort of corrupt deal false.

Re:"IT" is on its way out
"Trickle down economics" *is* economics. The effect of the economy being generated out of productivity of people who are capable of saving money in order to form new businesses, that's 'trickle down economics'. That's the only actual economics, there are no other economics at all.

Re:Seriously...
You have to consider who controls the media companies, and that they benefit from the status quo and not journalistic integrity. Now factor in who is (and was) running as the anti-establishment candidate, it seems to me that it isn't just a matter of left-leaning ideology. For example, look at the treatment Sanders received by the media. Since we're talking about the Washington post, here is an example where they ran 16 negative stories on Sanders in one hour. I can't imagine anyone more leftist than Sanders, but I can imagine that you can't have someone in a position of power that could threaten treaties like the TPP being made law, and possibly set back the consolidation of power of the ultra wealthy by eight years. So Sanders was smeared in the press, and now the hyperbolic anti-Trump attacks have reached a fever pitch.
They're ringing the bell because it seems as if a good portion of the public act just like Pavlovian dogs. -
Would not fly in Ukraine
When Ukrainian forces try to use consumer-grade drones in their fight against Russian invaders, the devices are often intercepted by Russia's sophisticated radio-electronic warfare units. They are good enough to fool even American military equipment on occasion.
Had Russia really been fighting ISIS in Syria, they would've sent the same technology (and personnel) there.

Re:Extremely ignorant
That just isn't true. I'm pretty sure he has a vastly deeper understanding of Syria than Trump - and in fact of world politics in general.
Deeper than Clinton? No, probably not - being Secretary of State helps with that. And he's a lot less likely to either 1) bomb unnecessarily or 2) sell himself to the highest bidders.
What foreign leaders has he flubbed? He failed to name one he admired. I'd like you to name a foreign leader that a Libertarian should admire. He had three seconds before he looked dumb. You have all night. Let's hear what you come up with.
He refused to play Foreign Leader Jeopardy with a paper - the NY Times I think. Of course he knows the leader of North Korea - he refers to him in speeches all the time.

No, I did something better. I completely stopped purchasing ANYTHING from McDonald's. This is even more reinforced by a former CEO, Ed Rensi stating "I will replace all with a $35k robot before I will pay 15/hr for employees" Story here. All to preserve my million dollar lifestyle.
The company later restated they won't replace them YET.
Your solution of starting a different career after 20+ years is vaguely similar to "let's increase H1B visa limits" argument that has been going on.

Re:Trump really is not so bad
Your really saying that 18 months of bad coverage has usurped the 25 years of shit Hillary has dealt with?
Most of it well-deserved and, unlike some decades-old name calling, substantive and pertinent to her becoming a President (or not). She's been both personally nasty and at odds with the voters on a host of major issues for a very long time. So at odds, she even admits to having "a private and a public position on some issues" — that is, to lying to the public about her convictions.

Should not surprise anyone
As we all saw, Russia interfered with the free and open elections in Eastern Ukraine after the Putin lapdog Yanukovych fled into the arms of Putin when the people of Ukraine wanted closer, more open ties with the West.
Russia sent in its troops and armed its terrorist proxies who burned polling places, burned ballots, threatened anyone who tried to vote, tried to rig votes, and even bragged about doing all of the above by recording their goings on.
Considering the amount of groveling Trump is doing at Putin's feet for his own personal gain and has openly asked for the same foreign government to commit espionage on a U.S. citizen, it would be surprising if Russia wasn't trying to game the system. So long as Putin has been in power that has been the name of game in Russia: only those Putin approves are allowed to run for office.
That Russia is now trying to electronically influence U.S. elections only shows how desperate Putin is to have the sanctions lifted which are dragging his country down each day they are in place. As reported a week ago, Russia will literally run out of money by the middle of next year if sanctions aren't lifted. Supporting the terrorists in Eastern Ukraine and the Syrian regime is costing Russia money it can ill-afford to lose yet from all appearances, Putin is vowed and determined to drag Russia down with him. That is why they are attempting to interfere in U.S. elections. -

Maybe if we can outlaw bribery
The way politicians work is via quid pro quos. A large donor gives them (specifically a shell organization) money or other enticements, and they provide favorable legislation for the donor. I don't think there were entities large enough to rival countries back in the days of the Constituion, so this threat to the republic is a new one. There was that Oxfam study earlier this year which stated 62 people own as much wealth as the poorest half of the world. WalMart has more revenue than Norway's GDP, for example.
So, I don't think the Founders saw this coming. Might need a carefully crafted amendment to deal with this issue.

Re:Summary Incomplete
http://www.businessinsider.com...
Both the summary and the mainstream media are biased. The truth is Powell likes neither Trump nor Clinton. When this story broke, however, CNN, MSNBC, etc, ran with Powell's negative quotes about Trump, and ignored the ones about Clinton. Perhaps later after no one's paying attention to the story anymore they'll publish a brief blurb about Powell's comments on Clinton. Their goal is to persuade, not to inform.

Re:Cost benefit
Are you at least a semi-intelligent person, living in a bubble of willful ignorance? Or did you just not have the understanding to comprehend what I wrote?
Purposefully implying I said Apple paid no taxes at all, just so you could argue, I would tend to think the former.
Lets see how well your bubble stands up to some information you don't wish to learn. POPApple Operations International (AOI) is the company's primary offshore holding company.
Apple owns 100% of AOI either directly or through controlled foreign corporations.
AOI's income made up 30% of Apple's total world profits from 2009- 2011.
Shockingly, AOI doesn't pay taxes. Anywhere. The holding company had a net income of $30 billion from 2009 to 2012, but has not declared tax residency in any jurisdiction.Apple has held billions of dollars in profits in Irish subsidiaries to pay little or no taxes to any government. The main subsidiary, a holding company that includes Apple's retail stores throughout Europe, has not paid any corporate income tax in the last five years.
Apple had a tax holiday for the first 10 years in Ireland. They paid no taxes to the Irish government.Let me say it again for you. Just in case you really did have trouble understanding what I had written.
If Apple had paid their taxes. Whatever lucky country they chose to pay could build a matching set of these things.
If Apple had chosen a country to pay taxes in, which they didn't. That lucky country would have lots of money. Money the country could use to build particle colliders. (simplified version for simple people to understand)

Re:Maybe I'm an outlier
I don't live beyond my means, and that includes having savings. I wouldn't worry about those bills you mention because they'll get paid in the interim. If they'd worry you, I posit that perhaps you're the one who needs to take stock of his own financial situation before judging another for being willing to live out his convictions.
I also have savings, but savings won't last forever. And with an ever-shrinking IT job market, who knows how long it will take to "wait it out", especially if you live in a market where IT jobs are already hard to come by (like here in the American Midwest). If you're relatively young, have no family, no house, few possessions, have the skills that are currently in demand, then it's much easier to justify a move. But once you've been in the workforce for a few years, maybe have bought a house, a car, gotten married, started raising a kid or two, then it gets exponentially tougher to uproot and move, especially if you live in places like the midwest, which is around a thousand miles or more from everywhere.
Oh, there's a tech boom in silicon valley, or San Francisco, or Seattle, or (insert West Coast city here)? That's great, but spending the equivalent of two months' salary (or so) to move 2,000+ miles and then try to compete in an already oversaturated and hypercompetitive job market and try to compete against young bucks straight out of college and willing to work for peanuts, driving salaries down to nothing is just a non-starter.

Makes no logical sense
If I'm worried about someone's medical condition, its the guy who's refused to release his records at all, outside of a ridiculously worded one-paragraph statement that the signing doctor says laughs about which reads *exactly* like the language used the said guy's own off-the-cuff speeches. Same vocabulary, same mannerisms. This is so over the top, it's really hard to escape the impression he's trying desperately to hide something.
Trump is 70. That would be the oldest elected POTUS ever (and older than his opponent), and we literally have no real idea about the state of his health. All we can do is eyeball the guy, and frankly he doesn't exactly look like a healthy 70yo. My doctor has me on beta meds and is trying to get me to lose weight, and Trump's got 40 years and easily 20 pounds on me. As someone nearing 50, I can guarantee you that there is just flat out no way a doctor looks over that person at age 70 and isn't at least on his case to drop weight.
If you're a person who honestly thinks nebulous future concerns about a candidate's health are a good voting issue, then you flat out must be more concerned about Trump than Clinton.

Re:All according to plan
(Fun fact: That didn't truly begin until Henry Ford started the idea of taking Saturdays off and having an 8x5 40 hour work week to retain quality workers; a concept that many misattribute to labor unions.)
I'm sorry, but you've got that wrong:
In the United States, a few limited eight-hour-day laws were on the books shortly after the Civil War. One, in Illinois, was passed in 1867, followed in 1868 by a law covering certain classes of federal workers. But neither law was well-enforced, and in most sectors, working hours of 10 to 12 hours were common. So a reduction in the work week became a leading issue for the nascent labor movement.
The issue came to a head in 1884, after the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions -- a predecessor of today’s AFL-CIO -- called for all workers to have eight-hour days by May 1, 1886. When that deadline wasn’t met, labor leaders upped the ante by calling for demonstrations. In Chicago, peaceful marches morphed into violence, with an explosion marring a rally at Haymarket Square on May 4, 1886, leaving seven police officers and four workers dead. Subsequent trials, executions and clemencies for the accused made the eight-hour week a top issue nationally and internationally.
All of this occurred decades before Ford founded his company in 1903.
Ford didn't implement the 40 hour workweek until 1926.

Beyond the obvious targeting of Apple, the most profound and harmful effect of this ruling will be on investment and job creation in Europe. Using the Commission’s theory, every company in Ireland and across Europe is suddenly at risk of being subjected to taxes under laws that never existed.

Re: You forget that
I agree there is no difference morally, but there is a big difference societally. A female who decides all men are rapists gets rewarded with Title IX kangaroo courts in universities where the man's right to trial by jury is denied.
By the way, in the citadels of learning where much of the misandry is enabled, there are cracks in the foundations. The University of Chicago sent a letter to all incoming students that included in part:
"Our commitment to academic freedom means that we do not support so-called 'trigger warnings,' we do not cancel invited speakers because their topics might prove controversial, and we do not condone the creation of intellectual 'safe spaces' where individuals can retreat from ideas and perspectives at adds with their own," the letter from Dean John Ellison said, sent Wednesday to the class of 2020.
"Members of our community are encouraged to speak, write, listen, challenge and learn, without fear of censorship," the letter also said. "You will find that we expect members of our community to be engaged in rigorous debate, discussion, and even disagreement. At times this may challenge you and even cause discomfort."

The problem of course is that in earlier attempts to be inclusive of other viewpoints, Universities have found that many of those who desired inclusiveness had no intention of granting it to others. Not only that, but the denials of expression that the snowflake crowd demanded started to extend into ridiculous areas, such as chasing comedians off campus, and while one could find Bill Maher offensive - of course, that's what he's trying to do, be offensive , funny and make you think, but their outrage extended to Jerry Seinfeld. Seinfeld and others don't even play college campuses any more.
The snowflakes even extended their umbrage unbrella toward Halloween costumes. They would deny others what they demand for themselves.
This might be coming to an end, as Universities are figuring out that the model is a tyranny of the presumably oppressed. Expect to see the whackadoodle element scramble to find other places where they can act all outraged.

Meanwhile, US Suppliers ISIS
Disney's parent owns Vice Media. Domestic propaganda is legal in the USA again. The rich and powerful people are spending time and money manufacturing consent on sites just like this. Meanwhile, the US government is literally sending supplies to ISIS under our noses. I wonder why this piece is coming out of vice right now.
"We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now much more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries."

So much for Apple's "better design"
I would like to hear what Apple fan boys especially in the media have to say about this. There's one particular Apple zealot who wrote this , praising Apple's design as still the best. I will wait for his take.
