No. Businesses have no federal obligation to accept cash.
What if are in the place where you just have cash or only have and a card they don't take?? Can they call the cops on you? Do they have to a big sign + the sever saying up front that we do not take cash?
This statute means that all United States money as identified above are a valid and legal offer of payment for debts when tendered to a creditor. There is, however, no Federal statute mandating that a private business, a person or an organization must accept currency or coins as for payment for goods and/or services. Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether or not to accept cash unless there is a State law which says otherwise.
But George Carlin is actually correct so there really aren't nits to pick. DivineKnight was trying to be pedantic and failing at it as he is clearly ignorant of how a normal distribution works.
I don't think it means that half the people are dumber than the mean though.
Yes, it does. The mean is the same as the median in a normal distribution and the median is by definition the middle point which means 50% of all data points are above it and 50% are below it.
Nope, haven't falsely equated anything. If businesses have the right to deny service to gay people then they equally have the right to deny service to alt-right trolls.
The right to free speech is guaranteed in the Bill of Rights. The right to buy a cake - yeah, I don't see it there, anywhere.
Only guaranteed in that the government cannot restrict your right. Neither the Constitution nor any case law stated that an entity such as Twitter has to give you a speech platform against their wishes. Did you really think this argument was gonna fool me?
In fact, if you listened to the baker's argument, he has a very good point: he was essentially being contracted to make an artistic statement he disagreed with. Wedding cakes are less about the cake being eaten and more about the art and sculpture of the cake being made. He refused to make an artistic statement he disagreed with.
And Twitter is refusing to associate with people they disagree with. A political affiliation is also not a protected class. So Twitter in no way has to host alt-right trolls.
When you provide a service designed around allowing people to communicate, you should have no say in the messages people make.
That's great for you to wish such a thing, but Twitter has no such legal obligation. They are free to ban and block anyone they want.
Real net neutrality means that packets aren't judged by their content or source/destination, but net neutrality also means that comments don't get deleted/hidden/censored and users don't get banned just for engaging in perfectly reasonable and legal discussion that some thin-skinned mental weaklings on the political left dislike.
Says the right-wing snowflake. BTW, it's funny how the right-wingers are always going on and on about how businesses shouldn't have to serve gay people if it goes against the belief of the business owner, but if a business determines they don't want toxic, alt-right trolls on their website you guys suddenly do a 180 and baaaah like little babies. The sword cuts both ways, snowflake.
Sure, I would agree with that but that hardly seems to be Apple’s fault. It’s what you get with “open” standards. Just like I have to juggle cables and dongles for devices where some have mini-USB and some have micro-USB and sometimes all I have is a cable with one connector and the device has thw other type.
ToS terms don’t supercede statutory law which is why the FCC punished them. Unfortunately now that Shit Pai runs the FCC, enforcement against his corporate masters will probably never happen.

dine and dash if you cash only = legal?

Then you're up shit creek.
If you eat at a restaurant, and then they announce they don't accept cash as payment, you're perfectly OK to just walk out.
Only if you don't mind getting arrested.
They may not accept your particular brand of credit card, but they MUST accept cash.

Look, another SJW making false equivalences.

False equivalency is false.

Says who? And who would enforce this? Is this supposed to be accomplished through magical "self-regulation"?
Sure, I would agree with that but that hardly seems to be Apple’s fault. It’s what you get with “open” standards. Just like I have to juggle cables and dongles for devices where some have mini-USB and some have micro-USB and sometimes all I have is a cable with one connector and the device has thw other type.
Oh so you’ve just redefined proprietary to mean something it has never meant. Gotcha.
Except that this is about USB-C which is in no way proprietary...
USB-C is proprietary? Since when?
You couldn’t opt out of it. Verizon was doing it in secret.
Location services has fuck all to do with what Verizon was doing.
Like a good little corporate whore...

A poor, less-functional version will be cloned in Firefox.
+5 funny. I’m pretty sure “switching voice assistants” is about as trivial a problem as it comes.
But this is a critical first-world problem!
Reading comprehension? Do you have it?
Fnord fnord fnord!
Pretty sure they were making a joke, Admiral Aspergers.
Not if the attacker was also able to man-in-the-middle attack you as well.
And yet music will still play out of the speakers. If the point was DRM it would seem silly to leave a huge hole unplugged.
Yes and in the list of “asian brands” they listed Vizio.
You’re giving BeauHD too much credit in assuming he’s even literate.
