. I think though he was appointed because the republican congress would not pass who he really wanted. So this was the best he could get through.
By law, Obama had to appoint a Republican. And by tradition, the Congressional leaders of the opposite party give the President the name of who he will appoint for those "reserved for the opposition" spots.
Ben Carson: I have no reason to think he's corrupt or beats women, and he certainly isn't tied to neo-nazis. Now, whether he's competent in his current position, or any political position, is a different question.
Rex Tillerson: He seems to be apathetic about his job, and not having fun, but he doesn't seem corrupt. Does have some high level ties to Russia in the past, but I'm not sure we've seen it effect his performance..
Jim Mattis: Other than getting involved in Theranos (that blood testing startup that was shut down for being a scam) he seems fine. And for all I know, he was taken in by the scam.
Nikki Haley: I don't actually have anything to add here.
I'm happy to keep going (btw, does Pence count as an appointment?). But I think really you want to clarify your criteria.
You've got it backwards. Assume, via witchcraft, Windows Phone somehow started taking off. It's about making sure that Clash of Clans can be on Windows Phone, and not only Age of Empires (a MS product). It's about making sure that Walmart and Target can deliver what you order off Alexa. It's about preventing being locked into an ecosystem by replacing all the native options. It's the whole "what combination of features do you want in a distro" vs. "This is the new Windows, suck it up"
It would change the burden to qualify for safe harbor from "complies with takedowns" to "applies proactive filter". You're currently free to do neither and you still will be free to do neither. The only question is, how much legal liability do you want for contributing to copyright infringement.
It lets Google compile your viewing preferences and assimilate that into all the other data they have on you. Some people apparently consider that a plus, as they like targeted ads.
It's worth noting FB chat was originally just another XMPP (Jabber) server. Then they added a nonstandard feature or two, to encourage people to move to the FB interface for FB chat. Then they changed the underlying protocol once enough of their user based was on it so you cannot use any old Jabber client.
Any protocol where a specific client takes over enough power (IE6 HTML in 1996, or Chrome HTML5 2018) can extend a protocol to lock out competitors. Even if the protocol doesn't technically allow extensions (e.g. how IE had special comments you could add to the code that changed behaviors.) And, of course, that's leaving out colorful "interpretations" of the standards.
I would say this is a method of asking directly. It being opt-in would be much nicer of course, and if they showed you the packet they built and asked you to let them upload it even nicer. The issue you have with opt in via opinion polls is that you get a huge sampling error. Everyone calls in when their feature is being removed, no one cares when it's someone else's. So, ideally you gather the data as flatly as possible. And while opt-in (again, opt in is good!) biases your sample against the paranoid, those people are probably not Ubuntu's core market.
There is some value in knowing that only 0.1% of your customers use some obscure hardware or software -- if your goal is to discontinue support for those items.
The experts were supposed to be advocates for the children. They had non-advisory panel connections to Facebook. It's a conflict. It's the same reason that, while we expect doctors working on human drug trials to be compensated, we certainly don't expect those doctors to own the drug they're testing.
Wall Street traders don't spread out because of the speed of light. It's literally worth billions a year to them to be a nanosecond closer to the exchange. Before HFT, they had actually begun experiments moving to other cities.
Unbreakable encryption is already an easy add-on. That hasn't been the worry in years*. It's the underlying backdoors that should scare you. And there is very good reason to believe that these phones have backdoors built into them. The Chinese government is far stricter in terms of control of cellphones than the US is, for one. For another, Chinese companies are far less independent.

Real estate is driven a lot by government policy. Zoning laws establish how likely the neighborhood is to change. The Fed setting interest rates drives prices pretty directly. Property tax rules encourage or discourage turnover. Tax incentives drive how likely people are to buy a house. etc. etc. etc.
1) Please pay attention to context. You're responding to a comment I made about the inevitability of fiber. If you don't think it's necessary, you should have responded to the parent.
2) It seems weird not to expect some use for that upload speed once we have it. Upload speed will only get more important, and reliable upload speed will create new industries, as it becomes more ubiquitous. Just like no one could have predicted streaming video being as big a thing when download speed was still bad and clunky, something is going to come along to properly utilize all that upload speed.
the Trump administration is proposing significant cuts to the National Weather Service (NWS) and hopes to eliminate the jobs of 248 weather forecasters
Geez, who rained on his parade?
It was his inauguration that got rained on. And then the stupid weathermen didn't back him up when he claimed he was so divinely blessed that the rain itself stood still until he took the oath of office.
Google seems to have stopped rolling out fiber, and Verizon rolled out a bunch like 10 years ago and seems to have stopped.
As for the "least important" of all five, you're assuming from a state of none of them existing. I think my internet needs improving more than my Water Resources... because my Water Resources are already pretty good. Repeat for broadband vs. X for the entire list.
In 2004 it was obviously a a data-hoovering panopticon What's happened is people are more aware of it. If Facebook tried to launch now, kids wouldn't want to create a permanent records on the internet.
Two train crashes that would have been prevented had the Congress not been preventing the new safety system from turning on for many years, and in between the first and second crash delayed yet again
lets you get good products like your smartphone and good customer service, at least where there is competition and where you have the right to sue if you have an unresolved issue
When I think of good products and good customer service, I naturally think of airlines!

Sure, there seem to be quite a few:
Ben Carson: I have no reason to think he's corrupt or beats women, and he certainly isn't tied to neo-nazis. Now, whether he's competent in his current position, or any political position, is a different question.
Rex Tillerson: He seems to be apathetic about his job, and not having fun, but he doesn't seem corrupt. Does have some high level ties to Russia in the past, but I'm not sure we've seen it effect his performance..

Higher MPG standards combined with pooling the entire vehicle lines caused companies to invent the SUV and light pickup truck.

Had. With Brexit, they're experiencing a shortage of doctors as they kick non-British personnel out of the country.
They were offering free WiFi. The lack of a privacy policy with the free WiFi is the issue.
I'm curious what you think the 10 best universities in the world are.
And the World Series line was a joke, right?

Nonsense. It's the Diet Coke White House. I remember something about a red button fetching a Diet Coke.
