I think it means three things: "Why do people use Mint when Ubuntu is better in every way? Some people think the only answer is 'Cinnamon' . Ubuntu should port that over so they are the awesome and Mint can die"
Timothy, take note. It's "Free Basics" as a term in quotes. If you just write it like two English words, free basics, it could be (and was) taken as a description of the service. Especially in a headline, with its universal capitalization.
Okay, I read about 25 pages of what you suggested. I saw nothing other than repeated assertions that competition = magic fix-it force. Oh, and factual errors about how the current system works (even going so far as to not keep which government (federal/state/local) pays for what straight.
We use the "Are you sure" message because we host an application and the last inputs haven't been saved yet. Then again, it's only available on the intranet (with no 3rd party connections), so...
And a suggestion to advertisers. Pissing off your audience probably is a less than optimal tactic.
Alternatively, not serving ads to ad-blocker users lowers costs. If there is a high correlation between people pissed of by X, and people who do not respond to your ads, including lots of X (to encourage those people to block) gets you more bang for your buck. It is in fact optimal.
Pisses me off when a billionaire can't afford common sense.
Well, given that pimping Facebook as "the Internet" consistently seems to have already and will continue to make him extra billions, he probably literally cannot afford* not to do it.
*Where I use afford not in the "cannot do it without starving" metric, but the "holy fuck, that's a large sum of money for me" metric.
Upon reflection, my new answer is "yes". The performance hit is minimal (jQuery.js is small), the plethora of different versions means I would need a bunch on my system anyway, and websites shouldn't treat too much JS everywhere as something I subsidize, they should pay the full costs for their site.
The real issue is those 5000 sites don't want to serve me the file.
So you're comparing reality to an idealized alternate history? And reality came out poorly? Shocking.
Point of fact, there was a time without a highway system. Point of fact, it got built by the government. Point of fact, road transportation in the US improved when that happened.
But, yeah, the free market could have done a better job, it just hadn't gotten around to it yet.
Taxes buy violence and destruction. Look at the 20th century, for fuck's sake.
Fucking highways, causing all those accidents. Stupid clean air and clean water, making all those criminals healthy. Damn anti-lead paint laws, keeping children from being retarded (better criminals). Stupid CHIP, keeping those criminals from dying when they're young (except the future white collar ones). Damn FDA, making it so I cannot even get a ground-up finger in my burger. Fucking FCC, making it so I can only hear one station when I tune my dial as opposed to 8 fighting. Stupid Tennessee Valley Authority, causing the South to have electricity (who needs it) or the Stupid Hoover Damn creating Vegas out of desert.
And that stupid support of ARPAnet made all this cybercrime possible.
But I grant you that US taxes in the 20th century made Europe democratic (WWI), defeated Hitler (WWII), kept S. Korea (our current #4 trading partner) free (Korean), and kept Saddam Hussien from taking over Kuwait (Gulf War). Yeah, I mean, 'Nam sucked, but other than that, it worked pretty well in the 20th century.
Okay, strange ad homenim with "frail ego." I freely admit I may have misread what you said. And certainly, I didn't recall that you advocated UBI in the past. That lack of memory is kinda expected with the number of people posting.
I'm reading one reply you made to someone who suggested someone with no dependents should be able to support themselves on a single income. Only a single post. If you misspoke, that's fine. Or if I misread. That happens in a text only medium.
But, you kinda have to clarify. You did "see a logical argument for both" which implies two choices. You did spend the rest of your post saying that not all work is equal, and shouldn't people have to face consequences for their poor choices (which you state is not everyone in the group of frycooks/clerks, but imply is the vast majority of it) You did say people in those jobs should pool resources and live frugally. And you did not offer a middle ground I would recognize.
If you think I misread, I'd appreciate identifying which phrase you think i missed in the actual post we're talking about.
NB, I'll grant you never said "communism". You said "Not all labor is equal. Should it be a living wage to work as a fry cook [or] a convenience store? [Maybe instead] they have to pool their resources and live more frugally than someone who makes more than that? "
4) If they hadn't screwed up and changed the iCloud account's apple id - they'd have a recent backup too - and this would be a moot point. They screwed up.
And why not insist Apple just restore that. It's in the cloud, and they have backups. "Get X from backup drive 13156 or whichever" seems well within scope of a search warrant.
(2) Is illegal. Or rather, will not legally shield Apple. All NDA's have (or will be modified by the court to have) a clause that allows compliance with subpoenas. Usually, the best an NDA can guarantee is that I contact the party I have an NDA with, and they can (at their expense) try to squash the subpoena, and I won't comply if they are taking legal measures to block it.
You offered two choices. People who make a shitty decision in life (work as a fry cook or convenience store clerk) can live in a shitty shared apartment in San Fransisco (or GTFO) or (and mocked) we can live in a totally equal (subtextually communist) state.
Maybe I'm misreading what you wrote, but I read all those questions as not establishing gradation, but rhetorical devices used to draw a stark contrast between them.
They never had a problem with the government spying on its citizens.
I mean, the US, UK, Canada, etc. all did it. But there weren't any problems that arose from the government spying. In contrast to Russia, China, North Korea and Germany.
For someone who called out a false dichotomy, you then jumped right back into one. There's a huge gradation between "no consequences" and "unable to have an apartment of your own."
And while you pay lip service to the idea that "not everyone made poor decisions", everything else in your post screams that's how you are judging her. How do you know she made poor decisions?
I'll grant you that the potentially worse result belongs in the governmental column. But the expected worse results is definitely in the corporate one.
For one, the delta for the government power is less. The government really doesn't need Mastercard, they already have my Photo ID pictures.
For another, they can show up at my house tomorrow and march me off for no reason (other than, you know, my rights.) Already have that power.
The government however is restrained by various reasons. Whereas, I've never seen a corporation exercise any form of self-restraint.
Fuck the government, it will no doubt include Facebook.
The government just wants power over me. Advertisers want to target my psychological weaknesses to take everything I own and put me in debt forever. (Not that I think they'll succeed to that extent, but private companies will probably have worse consequences for me.)

No, Mono is the alternative to MS's implementation of C#. Xamarin is built on MS's implementation of C#, except some of the OS/GUI hooks.

Out of curiosity, what's your view on welfare payments?

Well, I don't want 5000 sites to use jQuery. There's no reason for that much javascript.

Why are we trusting site X as to whether we should load XSS from it. Or better yet, why not just deny third-party scripts.

Well, because non-metric, it's currently around $10,000 to one stone dimes/quaters/half-dollars.
Nickels, pennies and dollar coins break the :you can just weight coins" in the US. But in that range, it's $1 = 22.68 g

Almost every attempt to poison data turns into another datapoint. That datapoint is likely more valuable than a NULL value.
For instance, that leaks data about your pseudo-random number generator, opens up timing based identification, etc.
Fuck the government, it will no doubt include Facebook.
