Every time someone has made this allegation, and Ive taken the time to bust out Wireshark and sniff my network traffic, the allegation has proven false.
The only things AFAIK that they transmit-- unless theyve snuck something in in the last year-- is the following:
Keystrokes to your default search engine, if you have suggestions turned on (like every other browser that uses search suggestions)
URLs and page contents if you are using the auto-translate feature-- just like would normally happen if you use a web page translator
Essentially, if you use feature X which uses google resources, data necessary to perform feature X is transmitted to google
Its only "talking back to google central" if you leave the "please use all the google features" boxes checked in Chrome options. Here, Ill make it easy for you: Menu --> Settings; Advanced settings, uncheck everything under "privacy" except the DNT setting.
Of course, youll be losing out on features that generally are taken for granted in other browsers, which have the exact same privacy implications in other browsers, but whatever.
Im not trying to make this a "USA #1" thing, but by and large Americans arent what you would call "poor" by any remote standard:
Top 10 in per-capita GDP forever, sharing that distinction with a number of very tiny countries and a lot of oil producers.
Top 3 median household income
Average household income we are #1 (and have been for at least the last 10 years) (source)
GNI per capita, we are #12 (after removing territories); half of those above us are either tiny (luxembourg, lichtenstein, monaco) or oil producers (kuwait, qatar).
By all measures the average person in US is like top 2-3% in the world for income.
Honestly, my big issue with all of this complaining? You have people here whining about the top 1%, and then griping that people from India / China are "taking our jobs". Guess what? You ARE the top 1% compared to them. But I guess "look out for the little guy" only applies when you can twist reality to make yourself the "little" guy, and pretend you arent among the most privileged people on the planet statistically.
The US is top 10 per-capita GDP in the world. This of course includes the massive rural areas that our country has in the average. Whatever point you were trying to make, "we're not making much money" is baloney.
Incidentally, only 2 or 3 european countries beat us out: (Luxembourg and Norway consistently).
And you will understand why it is a bad currency. The price fluctuated ~50% in about 2 days. Thats not a "problem" its unviable. If that happened to the USD, Im not really sure what the ramifications would be but it would be "dire".
Not to mention that "unregulated" means "government cant do jack when someone pulls a massive ponzi and drops the value of everyone's BTC". Starts to look a lot less good at that point.
Comparing the volatility of USD and BTC is absurd, especially given the last few years. The dollar is a rock of stability compared to bitcoin.
Over the last 5 years, the peak to trough fluctuation of USD to EUR was in the ~20% zone depending on how you measure it (peak was 1.59, trough was 1.2).
Over the last ONE year, BTC's value has fluctuated by 300%-- its gone up on one site, but I also remember it drastically PLUMMETING around 300% though I cant find a chart showing that. If I recall, around the same time several exchanges halted their trading.
Maybe when we get to something like ~3-4% average fluctuation per year, it might be stable. Right now, its an investing / gambling tool depending on how you define those terms.
I mean honestly, can I buy food with it? Gas? How many merchants within 50 miles of my home (DC area) are currently accepting bitcoins? What about amazon, or ebay / paypal? Newegg?
Sure, I could transfer it to other people, but its also a pretty volatile currency. I have no reason to believe the value sent will reflect anything near the value once I exchange it into dollars, if I can even perform the exchange (since it requires Bitcoin exchanges or a willing purchaser).
Its kind of like trying to transfer money by trading stock: sure, it sort of works, but who really wants that kind of volatility? What supermarket would ever want to do that?
Generally good points, as I said I think we have different views but similar principles.
And taxation is specifically mentioned by Christ himself (I think it was Paul who said to submit to authority, wasn't it? Corinthians?
Romans 13. Taxation isnt the entirety of what Christ was referring to; the second part of his famous quote is "and unto God the things that are God's". There is some ambiguity there, but I believe the implication is that some things "belong to Caesar", but ultimately all things belong to God. So do pay your taxes, but remember ultimately all of your "wealth" is God's, and you are to steward it well. Hence, while I am clearly to pay my taxes, I can think that the rate is too high, that the money could be stewarded better.
Leviticus also points out certain foods that are "unclean" (e.g., pork) that the eating of is a sin, but in one of the books in the NT I'm having trouble finding (my brain isn't working too well today), God tells one of the disciples that nothing he created was ever unclean
A few things. The unclean food is declared to now be clean; the implication from reading it (it was in Acts) seems to be that "uncleanliness" was a ritual law. On the other hand, homosexual acts are described very differently both in the Old and New testament-- called "an abomination unto the lord" in Leviticus (I believe only a handful of things get this label), and described in quite scathing terms in Romans 1/2, as well as a large number of other books in the NT.
Generally the takeaway is that some of the OT laws were reflections of absolute morality (moral laws); others were dual-purposed to demonstrate our inability to conform to a high standard and to demonstrate the "separateness" of God and demanded of Israel (ritual laws). Generally I believe "moral laws" are things that ones conscience would innately recognize, and / or that are labeled with moral or absolute terms in the bible ("abomination"; "defiled"; "trade the truth for a lie").
I don't see how anyone could amass a fortune without enslaving themselves to wealth,
We have in our church folks who are or were very successful; sometimes they continue so but reign in their hours to use their time more for their family; others use their time / positions @ work as an opportunity to spread the gospel. For instance, successful financial advisors who give talks on how to wisely and soberly invest your money without becoming enslaved or consumed with concern for wealth.
It seems to me that at least the most vocal conservatives gave me that brush as well as a bucket of blood to paint them with. Caiaphas was an extreme conservative, as was the murderous Paul before his conversion.
Very clearly "conservative" is a large and diverse group, as is "liberal", "republican", "democrat", etc. Some things can be assumed to be the same, others cannot.
I dont think the goal should be to try to trip folks up; anyone can make a mistake and sometimes people will try to cover for areas where they are weak by saying "yes" if they dont know.
I think asking them to explain a common scenario in their own terms does the job well enough; if he can tell me how to configure a vlan, then I know he can probably handle basic switch config tasks, and thats really what I care about.
Not being a coder but a amateur scripter (who likes to pretend to be a hotshot coder), I had assumed "efficient" meant "elegant and flexible", and that an iterative loop is conceptually the simplest (at least for me).
Im kind of interested to know how this would be done in-place, in pseudocode.
I handled a technical interview for a former job while the boss was out of town. The applicant had indicated experience with Cisco and a few other products; being a cisco fanboy I started with that.
ME: I see you have cisco experience. Can you tell me how you would configure the IP on the first serial interface of a Cisco router? ANSWER: Hmmm, let me think...[pauses]... its been a long time, i dont think I can. ME: Thats alright. What about entering global configuration mode, do you recall the command for that? ANSWER: Hmmm.... I dont think so. ME: Thats fine, I just want to get a general idea, so no pressure. Can you tell me the command you would use to enter EXEC mode on a Cisco device? ANSWER: [pause]... sorry, no. ME:One more, how would you physically connect to a Cisco device to configure it, what equipment / method would you use? ANSWER: I dont know.
So we have a guy with cisco experience who cannot connect to any cisco device he owns, and if he could could not log into that device, and if he could could not enter configuration mode, and even if someone did that for him he doesnt know the most basic configuration command.
After that, when friends ask me for advice on applicants or whatnot, I tend to stress the technical interview. Tests can be crammed for, you need to really probe to find out who is full of crap and who knows their stuff.
How are food stamps more inefficient than soup kitchens? How can you think that medicaid is less efficient than charity? Sorry, I just don't understand how you could come to those conclusions, what's the reasoning behind them?
A few reasons.
Government in general tends to be notoriously inefficient, because for example once a department is granted a budget they are highly incentivized to use ALL of the budget lest it be reduced next year; this makes "cost savings" unlikely and simply not worth that department's time to pursue. It doesnt require malice nor any real intention for this to happen; from that department's standpoint, the budget is basically unlimited, and to them time seems better spent on their "core mission". Soup kitchens / local / private charities tend not to have the luxury of a gigantic budget and tend to be a lot more efficient.
Additionally, when handing out foodstamps from the perspective of 1million customers, it is very difficult to police abuse effectively. On the other hand, at a local / private level, it is a lot easier: if youre helping 1000 people and one of them consistently uses your aid to get drugs or continue bad habits, it is much easier to see that and curb abuse. This is a simple reality of scale and accountability; the bigger an organization is, the tougher of a problem it is.
Finally, as a rule departments tend to keep their funding regardless of need; even if a program is particularly effective and the need is cut in half, it is not likely that the budget would likewise be cut in half. That department may find legitimate in their view reasons to keep the same budget level, perhaps branching out into areas that were never originally intended when the department and budget were first allocated. With a volunteer/charity organization, this isnt an issue: they get funds when people want to contribute to the things they are doing.
Federal taxes are lower than they've been in my lifetime, and I'm 60. Bitching aboutr taxes when they're lower than you've ever seen them is a bit... sorry, I can't think of a polite term.
Different people have different views on how government should raise and spend funds, and this is a core part of democracy. You and I can disagree on taxation, without it being "unchristian"; I still pay my taxes even when I disagree with the particulars of the taxation, because the Bible does indeed call christians to submit to earthly authorities in the proper domains (of which taxation is clearly one).
Letting someone suffer needlessly is antithetical to what Jesus taught.
My point is that Jesus was not illustrating a style of governance; there is a big difference between personal commands and commands for how one should govern. If I thought for example that Gov't healthcare would result in more deaths and higher costs, I would vote against it, even if I supported other options for filling low-income healthcare needs. I am avoiding specifics here because I dont believe my own views are as relevant as my principles are-- my views may change, my principles are unlikely to.
Gay's sins are no worse than yours or mine. But the worst part is the homophobics who get caught in adultery. Homosexuality wasn't on Moses' tablets, but adultery was. "Judge not, lest ye be judged yourself."
I dont believe the first part to be 100% true, as special weight is given to sexual sins (1 Corinthians 6, Leviticus 18), particularly those which deny the man-woman model in Genesis (Leviticus 18 & 22 IIRC, somewhere in 1 Corinthians, etc). You are right that often people place too much emphasis on "homosexual" while ignoring far more common sexual sins (fornication), but thats just where society has framed the discussion at this point in time and it generates pushback from both sides. I truly think your friend has misunderstood the bible if that was her thought tho-- "homosexuality" isnt why
Being able to update without admin is not an advantage in a corporate environment.
It is when its trivial to disable through a GPO or pushed registry setting.
Sharing IEs proxy is also not an advantage
I fail to see why properly reading and using the system proxy setting is worse than Firefox's model of "screw the system setting and GPOs, we have our own way of doing things". I guess its kind of nice that I can bypass our proxy, but it doesnt recommend itself as a good candidate for roll-out.
There isn't, because that works at the network level, and only Firefox has its own networking stack that extensions have access to.
This really isnt true. NotScript does basically everything that NoScript does, the only thing it doesnt do is cross-site whitelists like RequestPolicy. This isnt because of an API deficiency AFAIK, its because they didnt create that functionality. Chrome certainly has its own network stack, and extensions can certainly access part of it, which is how NotScript and Adblock work to begin with.
I was already skipping your repetitive posts waxing lyrical about all the extra corporate features in Chrome
Youre free to consider me ignorant if you want, and if youre feeling generous you might point me to a page that informs me of how to use all of Firefox's corporate features. Last I checked the only MSI packages were third party, and the only GPOs were both sparse AND third party and I believe came under a restricted license. Firefox also completely ignores system certificate stores, which has made for "interesting" troubleshooting across a number of platforms as I have had to add certs first for the the OS (OSX, Windows), and then for Firefox's own special cert store.
So forgive me if I prefer the browser that is manageable without unofficial unsupported GPOs and dropping managing prefs.js files.
I am aware that it is possible to do restartless extensions in firefox, but in practice very few of them that I have seen actually use it. NoScript doesnt, nor does RequestPolicy.
SNAP, aka food stamps, can only purchase food - you must be able to ingest it to bill it against a SNAP account.
Which still doesnt solve the problem of either A) trading the food for money or B) unscrupulous shopkeepers ringing up food when you come to the register with beer.
Both are real, actual things that happen, and are real, actual concerns.
If you see someone using an EBT card to purchse tide you should perhaps feel sorry for their condition instead of feeling like you need to put a stop to it.
Theres no need to launch into an attack on me; I never said I routinely attack people for purchasing tide with an EBT card. If I see someone is using an EBT card that is a personal matter; its my business only on a societal level, which is why Im addressing it in broad terms.

Would something like this be permissible? (written in PowerShell, for kicks and groan-factor)
for ($i=1; $i -le 100; $i++)
{
$output=""
if (($i % 3) -eq 0) {$output = $output + "fizz"}
if (($i % 5) -eq 0) {$output = $output + "buzz"}
if ($output -eq "") {$output = $i}
write-host $output
}
They pay you today's $50 worth of bitcoins. How confident are you that that will be $50 worth of bitcoins tomorrow?
Youre essentially bartering with stock; if that floats your boat go for it.
Its not terribly useful in the real world?

Works in powershell, thanks! Really slick tip. Wish I had modpoints.
I definitely try not to make typos when having a verbal conversation. You're right-- it does help.
