I don't care if banks crash, as long as they don't take me with them.
That's the entire point of Glass-Stegal. To prevent the banks that invest in whatever crazy risks they want to take from being the same as the banks that care if they fail. Like literally make them different entities.
Since the introduction of high frequency trading, transaction costs have fallen considerably
While true, this also coincides with the timing of decimalization of stock prices. Which seems like a more likely cause.
HFTs don't "make markets", the "do arbitrage". The buyers and sellers both exist in the markets, but they hack their way in between them and skim billions. But I'll tell you what, let's try outlawing HFTs and if the world ends, we can re-legalize them.
The Russian interference amounted to about $1.25 million per month, compared to the $1.2 billion spent by Hillary, or $617 the million spent by Trump.
That's a cute way of comparing totals to monthly amount to disguise the total amount. But your numbers suggest (once per month is totaled) that ~2% of Trump's spending by Russia.
Also, while money is money, the ability to spend money in certain areas is limited by US entities. That's not even counting that people saluting a flag are often underpaid.
All that said, Hillary deserves some blame too. It's not all one or all the other.
No it doesn't. You think the trackers aren't also upgrading to HTTPS?
Not the trackers served by the page, the ones that sit on the backbones of the internet. You know, run by AT&T, Comcast, etc.
People have been trying to make sure their websites conform to Google's standards since a year or two after Google became the most popular search engine.
There's a difference between "game Google's algorithm" and "be dictated to by Google". That difference is the (ab)use of power. Just like there's a difference between "use a radar detector" and "give the officer who pulls you over a hundred"
Sure, but you asked "why" it was described like it was. As is, ghosting seems stupid. The cost of an email is low, and politeness is just, well, polite.
What's the cost to being polite? I mean, sometimes there's a cost. But a simple email that says "Thanks, but no thanks." or similar seems cheap enough.
That's not ghosting! You turned down the offer and asked not to be contacted again. That's ending the relationship and ignoring attempts to restart it.
Power dynamics. If employees really were rarer than positions, you'd expect it to flip around, and employees treating corporations like dirt would be a thing that is "a standard part of the free market"
It's like saying "a 30 mph piece of steel" It's focusing on one metric (speed/LOC) that while it feeds into the important result (momentum/?) while ignoring the multiplier (mass/includes).
Yes, why would the government study how germs move from your butt to my plate of food in a restaurant. How is that in the mission statement of the Center for Disease Control?
I don't know if they don't collect it. I do know that Google, etc. have enough advertising income to identify it as a major profit center to investors in quarterly updates. Apple would too. But they aren't
I'm not sure why I would pay for a software subscription. I'm okay paying for licenses. Hell, Apple makes money without collecting and monetizing the data
Given that Microsoft, Google and Facebook combined are worth 10% -ish of the US stock market, I don't think anyone buys "oh these poor companies need the money"
You don't need to advance humanity... that's an insane goalpost shift by the responder. Well, space flight has to. But all airplanes have to do is make life better on earth. Businessmen who meet to create products are useful. Scientists are useful. Heck, even vacations are useful. Just looking at the fuel, you can get 14 tons of whatever to Mars, or 80,000 people to and from a vacation on another continent (trans-Atlantic flights).
If Apple hadn't decided to move away from Intel chips, they would have found the bug in their rigorous testing, thus the fixes would have already happened.
It's not a "public" test in any sense of the word. It's a test between whitelisted earlier adopters on both sides of the call.
By that definition, I suppose my bank account routing numbers are "public" because several select institutions know them and communicate them to each other on my behalf.
"Drug dealers don't engage in voluntary transactions" is one of the dumber things written on the internet. Do you think that drug dealers chase people down and force them to take drugs? Do you think people fencing stolen goods chase people down and force them to buy them?

Why would you be happy about someone else's misfortune?

And Amazon and Microsoft are working hard at replacing^W supplimenting their "just charge money" business plans with advertising money.

I'm not sure what's wrong with an impersonal rejection letter. The problem with ghosting is the lack of communication about where people stand.
That's not ghosting! You turned down the offer and asked not to be contacted again. That's ending the relationship and ignoring attempts to restart it.
Ghosting is what you were accused of.

1) It reduces the number of trackers, which since they still track most sites through their analytics, raises the value of their data.
2) It gets people used to Google dictating how their websites look and function.

Does that work for you?
Except... airlines are useful. Private expeditions to Mars are not.
I should point out bank account numbers are public on the bottom of a check... but I cannot recall the last time I used one of those.

Boeing probably knows more about me than Instagram does. After all, I've flown on airplanes, and they probably collect data from each flight.
Maybe, maybe not. Snapchat turned down an offer. And FB took them on. Whereas Instagram was grown by FB.

That's not super-relevent. Drug dealers and people selling stolen goods are also something "people want". In this case, Uber is externalizing costs.
