Casinos should embrace it. Follow me here. There are only a handful of reasons to waste money on video poker:
1. You rarely visit casinos and you haven't figured out it's not that much fun yet
2. You love gambling
3. You love gambling too much
4. You've figured out how to lose slowly enough that the free drinks balance it out
5. Your friends are wasting even more money losing at other casino games and you have to kill time
6. You hope that the machine will magically grant you a money wish
The key is number 6. It's hard to feel any sympathy for the casinos that rake in billions upon billions due to false hope, boredom, and addiction. Nevertheless I offer to them this suggestion: embrace it. Let us, the foolish masses, believe that maybe some day (if we're lucky) we could actually figure out a way to beat the machine. The questionable winnings of this crew are a bargain for this kind of marketing. Let the false hope roll.
You're right on the money. There used to be a feature of the app that allowed you to take a geotagged picture of your car in the parking lot so you could find it later. It's not unreasonable to think that permission was left in after the feature was removed either by mistake or some technical issue with the App Store/iOS apps in general. At least it doesn't spy on my contacts and text messages like many other free apps.
I do wish iOS App Store had a feature similar to the google store for android that shows exactly what permissions an app wants when I install it. Even better would be to allow user control over individual permissions.
One good turn deserves another.
I don't appreciate being used as part of your 99% argument. Leave me out. From now on you may refer to yourselves as the 98.999999999833%
I don't know about y'all but I'm hunkered down in my fallout shelter with two of my guns (I only have two hands) pointed at the entry dreading the moment my wifi goes down and I have to resort to ham radio and morse code on my shake light.
This post is misleading. The FedBizOps notice is for the Air Force ESC, not the federal government. I don't even think it's related to the Presidential mandate. Most agencies implemented this when it was required (in August). Can anybody verify that the info on this FDE site is legit?

Just speculating here, but Moroccan French might be more like French French than Canuck French.
