Huh, the ruling explicitly says that it doesn't make a distinction between Trump and other government officials. Now, he cannot block people because he's using his account for official business, so anyone who correctly maintains two accounts will be fine.
Hell, he is just maximizing subsidy value, get over it
Why is "it's beneficial for him to help the people who paid him more instead of those who paid him earlier" a valid argument for why I shouldn't think he's an ass?
, libreoffice or openoffice whatever the user chooses,
Step 1 in using Linux in an environment beyond your personal use: Make all those decisions for the users.
Step 2: Recognize that making 22 million people take even a 1 hour class (let alone "6 month") is a cost of more than half a billion dollars. Therefore, anything you can do to make it easier to learn is worth doing.
For a mobile app, sure, having to support many devices is fine. However, consoles have a lot of bare-metal programming.
Also, you're not going to take advantage of those features if you have to pay more programmer time, and you're not going to take advantage of those features if it involves shrinking your market.
Would there be anything gained by waiting years between upgrades?
Sure, less R&D costs, etc. Keep in mind that car upgrades are usually things like stereos/interiors/etc. Not massive changes to engines, etc. So, yeah, you should expect to get say a Slim version of a console, or maybe pretty different colors, just not 50% more power... hey, that's what happens!
Freedom of speech has nothing to do with citizenship, government sponsored things (e.g. DT's twitter) not allowing you to talk is one of the basic examples of violating free speech, the four seasons is a place of public accommodation despite requiring a certain income level, and you can access Twitter from a library.
Lawyers? I suppose, maybe. Seems far more likely he'll just crush them with Monopoly power (normal) or buy them (if they protected their IP/he wants to acqui-hire.)
If I put down $1000 in earnest according to Tesla's advertising that a $35k within a year, but at the suggested time of availability "SORRY, This won't be available for some time, but you can buy this $49K one"; then HOW is that Not a Bait-and-Switch scam?
Because Kickstarter has gotten people used to investing in a company with the only payout being (hopefully) acopy of their product. In other words, it is, but people are so used to it that they won't call it that and instead attack you for it.
that there is an increasing likelihood that the audited code bases contain more code that has received an independent peer review of some sort. Whereas, the remaining proprietary almost certainly has not received independent peer review.
True, but, given what I've seen, it's not uncommon to import tens of thousands of lines of code to access one function. Definitely there is a wider attack surface.
Litter can be safely removed (although I wouldn't go around stealing scooters).
Because you don't want to, or because you worry about the consequeunces? That might be a way for the homeless people the author is worried about to monetize their free time.
It was a regulatory action, in response to a directive from the Supreme Court saying that the FCC could enact Title II regulations under the existing law.
An iconic photograph of then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton using her BlackBerry while wearing sunglasses on a military plane in 2011 prompted a recordkeeping official in her office to inquire about whether Clinton had been assigned a State.gov email address,
And Clinton's communications security is widely upheld as the best. Trump particularly admires them.
Clinton responded on March 8, 2009: Against the advice of the security hawks, I still do carry my berry but am prohibited from using it in my office, where I spend most of my time when I'm not on a plane or in a "no coverage" country.
I should point out shortly after that quote she stopped (within three months of getting into office), because, you know, it was pointed out that wasn't an opinion she could ignore. Now, you might not like her replacement solution, but she stopped that.
Under Obama NN laws were put in place. Under Trump, they were removed. On the issue of NN, it's hard to imagine a bigger example of different philosophies.
Aren't the German automakers highly unionized as well?
Far more highly unionized. Union reps sit in on management meetings, have at least one seat on the board, and the average German auto worker makes twice what the average US auto worker makes.
Dark" side of the moon... actually gets slightly MORE light
Dark isn't always a synonym for "dim". On of the definitions of dark (and the version being used) not known or explored because of remoteness. For instance, did you think that the "deep, dark heart of the jungle" referred to an area we knew was in the shade?
Bill Gates has kind of a cult of personality among working class Americans who see him as somebody who came up from nothing to become the richest man on earth. For some reason He's not lumped into the "elites" category like Jobs or Bezos. Not sure why, since he grew up wealthy and used his mom's connections to get an in with IBM and his dad's advice to take advantage of it, but go figure.
Batman and Iron Man are both widely admired billionaires. It's certainly not impossible. Donating money to charity helps. Not being in a position (anymore) of hearing about people in your factories committing suicide or your workers living in tents in the woods behind your fulfillment centers helps. Not pushing dramatic changes to the status quo helps.
Trump is no Steven Hawking, but I do think he was smart enough to realize that if he ran on the Republican ticket, CNN, MSNBC, Twitter, Tumblr, and most of Facebook would do the exact same thing to him. His options would be to either discuss actual legislation (and let the talking heads argue that), or say some outlandish things on Twitter and let those talking heads spend all day discussing Trump's Mean Tweets.
The difference is, you're implying he had either of those two strategies to pursue and choose the more effective one. What his detractors are saying is that his only skill set is the "Mean Tweets" skillset, and far from it being a strategic choice he lucked into an environment where he could win by being a loud idiot. It's like if we said the president should be decided by a free throw contest and then said "Well, Stephen Curry* could have talked about the issues, or but instead he focused on free throws. How wise of him ". As though he could have won a contest focused on issues.
*Currently considered one of the best NBA players, and the one with the highest free throw success rate.
5MM is one quarter of 20MM. So, that's maybe 10MM in profit... At 200 employees, that's less than a 1% tax increase on a fantastically profitable business.
Site is paywalled. Also, according to title, is based on anonymous source. This site says Amazon's financials indicate only 55MM was paid for all taxes in the US for 2017 (the title says no income tax, but mentions this fact in the article.) Feel free to dig into their 10-K if you want, it's linked from teh article
No. Secret actions, by definition, don't cause reputation damage. Similarly, it's arrests and convictions, not committing criminal acts, that puts you in jail.

Because Trump announces government positions on Twitter. It wouldn't be a first amendment issue if he just tweeted at the real housewives.

I don't understand why that's strange. I trust a government monopoly far more than a private one. I based that on the history of utilities.
Why shouldn't I?
