It's funny that users of Slashdot don't see themselves as partaking of social media.
Slashdot is an insignificant part of social media. Slashdot is a bit like a wino that thinks he isn't part of the global economy. He doesn't have a job and doesn't pay taxes, and the world economy can probably move along with or without him.
My fault Ontario is only 37.5% of the population of Canada. I've only solved a third of your problem for you, I guess you'll have to figure the other 2/3rds on your own.
Norway and Ontario are nearly the same population density, at 14.3 versus 14.1 people per square kilometer. So at the very least the infrastructure where more than half of Canadians live could be equivalent to what Norway's costs.
an enormous country with a low population density and harsh weather requiring more expensive equipment,
Are you talking about Finland, Sweden or Norway? Because I thought all of three of those low-population with harsh weather countries had pretty cheap mobile service.
Or they don't give a shit about revealing themselves. For example if the entire exercise was done to sew discord and disrupt the American economy, then being able to trace it back to Russia isn't quite so important. As long as short term goals like Russian energy interests are achieved.
We should have a free market system. And by that I mean a few powerful families should be free to do whatever the fuck they want. Eliminating the estate tax and deregulating pretty much everything brings us closer to this ideal.
Something along the lines of Itchy and Mickey having a gay wedding. And Scratchy crashes the wedding after refusing to make a wedding cake, only to get drunk and go home with the best man (Goofy).
It's a bit like arguing that an United Airlines isn't an airline instead it's a customer service business based on selling $9 snack boxes to people with no other options.
Sure, why wouldn't companies do this. Corporations are people, and every dollar they have makes their voice more important to our representatives. Why the heck should UPS be able to drive their trucks around my buildings and roads without my business getting a cut of it?
Eventually we'll have an economy where everyone is contractually required to pay everyone else a service fee. And as we shuffle all these fees around we'll wonder why bankers and lawyers are getting so fucking rich.
Cell plans cost money, cable costs money, other BS these people do (drugs, liquor, birthing tons of kids, etc) costs tons of money.
Pay as you go plan, which is what I use, and you'll be spending around $8 a month for moderate usage as a primary device. That is cheaper than a land line. I'm not saying every poor person is being frugal, far from it. But the amount of money that goes into into the "BS" things that people think the poor are buying doesn't account for why they are poor.
The very fact of having a child dramatically increases a woman's chance of being poor. Combine that with low socioeconomic class and no post-secondary education and you have a recipe for disaster. And this example isn't about a woman who buys things she doesn't need or isn't frugal. It's about a woman who is so far behind that she can't catch up on her own.
So make a decision, should a woman raise her children in poverty, so that her children will likely also be in poverty. Or do we pull people up, sometimes kicking and screaming, into a stable situation where with hard work they can rise up and improve themselves?
A refrigerator you buy once and use for years. Often it comes with the apartment you rent, so you don't really buy it at all. (nor are your permitted to sell it)
Selling a crappy beater car will cover medical expenses for about a month, at least in my case. Then what do you do, not work because you are too disabled to walk the 8 miles to work every morning? Does selling a $150 television really solve a families food problems for more than a few weeks?
You'd have a valid point if priorities of the poor were as Senator Chuck Grassley states, "... that are just spending every darn penny they have, whether it’s on booze or women or movies.”
Yet everyone gets their insulin in Canada. I can't say the same for USA.
There is limiting services through budget constraints that are applied broadly. And there is limited services by not providing any services to lower class people. Which model do you think we have in the US?
Times 10 million devices. A billion dollar lawsuit filed against an individual might break some records. And no, I'm not playing anything. Just noting something hypothetical here. Personally I want to see every buggy piece of shit IoT removed from the Internet. They can go start their own garbage network to run their shitbox hardware on.
I like it when the bridge computer has sparks shooting out and knocks out random ensign. You'd think the 24th century would be fly-by-wire and use optical or low-voltage control loops rather than high current conduits. I mean this stuff was around in the 1950s, significantly before the original series was filmed.

Do what the guy who stole my bike did.
It's clear that many things posted on FB were not ready by anyone, not even the original poster.
It's a funny analogy because humans were smoking thousands of years before they started refining sugar.

Humans weren't 7 times smaller back then. More likely this is a result of mass production, and demand.
Perhaps 18 - 24 month olds were heavier wine drinkers than we imagined.
In the USA you just show up at ER and don't pay if you don't have a med plan and they can't turn you away.
That's a great way for a diabetic to lose a foot. Only receiving care for acute conditions is neither cost effective nor ethical.

If it does PIC32 specific functionality like decode that chip's MMIOs, that's a nice feature of simply decoding MIPS object files.
I can only conceive of things when stated in terms of football fields.
So it's more efficient than lighting up a red light district and thousands of seedy hotel rooms?
They'd only be excited the first time you do that. Which is why you ought to remember to videotape it.
Well circuit breakers and fuses aren't effective when you're on a war vessel under fire. Even 1950's computer technology could be built that way.

That's not how investment works.
