Rules have loopholes (or are just written to benefit industry) and "it is legal" for some reason absolves a company of any ethical responsibility. To say nothing of adding compliance costs to dissuade startups. Of course they want rules.
Really? Cause what happens when it fails on some specific device? Or when you need to upgrade to the latest Android version so that Google won't demote you in the search results. Or when a flaw in the encryption library requires a rebuild right the fuck now
And that's not even accounting for server maintenance (in the pre-AWS/Cloud world).
That's more than enough if you want to travel (per person), as opposed to stay in luxury hotels/go to Michelin star restaurants. And I'm talking about travel to major Western cities, not just the Asian countryside.
How is "I'm quitting" a principled stand? If he stood up and said "No" til he got fired, I would be very impressed. But he didn't. He just said "you guys do whatever, I'm out."
It's very similar to people calling on members of [insert political administration] to resign. I don't see how that helps anyone.
Alternatively, it could be a post-scarcity world, it's a world with little enough crime that cops can solve crimes after the fact with forensic evidence, it's a world where drug-addicts get treatment and don't need to steal to fuel their addiction, it's a world where everyone has a good job. Look, there are always some dipshits, but most crime is desperation. If we can remove that, we remove a lot of crime. If we remove enough crime, cops can start solving burglaries.
You should be able to leave your apartment unlocked/walk down the street naked and not have an issue. You of course won't. But that doesn't excuse the actual people who take advantage of them.
And, year-by-year, we get closer to that ideal world. So, you know, it's improving.
I would have no problem running a business from my Chromebook. My major reason for not using one as my primary system is that I'm a software developer [and I need] to run Atom and/or Eclipse, with a native Outlook client, moderately good Microsoft file format options (Microsoft's own Office Online and Mobile Office work fine on it already) [and] If they could release a version with Firefox instead of Chrome, it'd be perfect.
So, except for the lack of ability to develop software, communicate with clients using the file formats they expect, and use your preferred browser, there's nothing from stopping you from running your software development business from a Chromebook. Which leaves business tasks you can perform as... webmail to clients and looking up documentation on the internet. Whoa, that's a powerhouse.
Lowering the risks in premature deaths to children lead to fewer adults, as people tend to overcompensate by increasing the birthrate. It also means that adults are less educated/healthy because they have fewer resources allocated to their care (more spread out over more children).
Today I switch to Duckduckgo as a primary search engine. Just would really like a way to completely switch from infinite scroll to pagination.
If you use the JS free version, it uses pagination. Also, there are quite a few options. Have you examined them.
My phone is just about as de-googled as you can get.
This is a very long way of saying "I got an iPhone".
Anything else?
I assume you don't have files/documents in Google Drive/Google Docs. Any Calendar entries?
There's also telling people with Google phones not to tag you in photos/activities in whatever Google thing exists (including their calendar). And knowing if you're emailing their Gmail account.
There's also worries about blocking their ads/analytics/tracking through a plugin (uMatrix, NoScript, etc) as you surf the web.
Lastly, if you can look up the Google StreetCar schedule, don't forget to hide during it.
As opposed to the lawyers, the original platiffs and the other class action members all getting nothing because it's not with the ~$10,000 lawsuit against all of Wendy's lawyers? If the employees hadn't agreed that all legal disputes could be resolved via arbitration (by a judge Wendy's selects and pays for)
And how will this work? You get assigned to FB1, your wife to FB2, etc? Will you be allowed to leave one site for another?
Well, you could forbid people from leaving for X years. Then the FBs broken up would either have to create open communications protocols (open to others by law), or risk having everyone go to some other site. Then let people start moving back and forth, so they compete.
Alternatively, you could break it up so FB, Messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram, etc. are separate companies. Or, you could break it up other ways. I mean, in any case like that, you'd have computer scientists advising a judge on what was possible, etc.
A lobbying group not pressuring legislatures to go further in the law is not "signing" anything away. It's still up to the state government. All they're doing is not pushing John Deere.
There's no long-standing agreement. So, farmers, fuck up the leadership you vote for, or drop out of that group, or start another.
Were there any evidence Google actually was doing this, I would agree that the denials fell pretty flat. But that's not what happened. The WSJ got copies of some low level employees saying "wouldn't it be cool if..." to each other, before their managers told them to stop fucking around at get back to work.
According to the same standard of evidence, almost every franchise of almost every fast food restaurant, hell, every retail store, also has a weed-dispensing vending machine in the lobby.
Scientific consensus in the 1970's was that the earth was warming. Whatever pop science mag said otherwise was crap, and is over exaggerated by modern deniers (the famous Time cover, for example, is a hoax.)

They said they would, but IIRC, they never actually cut people off who didn't pay.

And you didn't call the credit card company and get a chargeback because....?

Of course some people knew. A bunch of us. We just weren't posting about it on Facebook... cause obvious reasons.
Of course, whenever someone says "nobody knows", what they almost always mean is "I didn't know".

IIRC, Malaria is only carried by one species of mosquito. And All human diseases are only carried by 3.
Okay: On average, they each spend 2.5x what GM (an iconic heavy-capital company) spends on cap-ex.

At least when I go to Netflix, I want to watch a video.
Snapchat and Twitter come to mind. More Snapchat than Twitter.
Alcohol lowers inhibitions, including those against self-harm.

Which is why we'll need an EU-like agreement to prevent companies from running to the weakest jurisdictions.
It did work on AT&T. Prices dropped dramatically.
They're not as good or prevalent at it. Same reason why auditors will raise a one hundred million dollar discrepancy, but not a hundred dollar one.

You either were lied to, or are a liar.
