Pssst. The GOP paid for the dossier to be created, then abandoned it when it became clear that Trump would win the primary. The DNC just stepped in and continued the funding after the GOP stopped.
The term is in the quote from The Verge. You can complain to them that their article is using terminology that you don't like, but commenting about it here accomplishes nothing.
They can't. That's why they ran for office. Their screwups cost everyone else a lot of money and destroy lives, but they usually get off with little more than a slap on the wrist most of the time.
I want them to gut Facebook like a fish, expose every crime and underhanded tactic the company has ever engaged in and fine them until it bankrupts the company.
Why don't you start the ball rolling by paying every newspaper a small fee if you happen to see a headline? It costs money for them to produce those headlines, after all, so it's only fair that you pay them for it even if you aren't going to buy the paper and read the entire story.
The only way of detecting it was a scam was that crypto was involved.
The whole thing was based on the most basic model of scams; "send us some money first and we'll send you even more in return!"
Nobody should ever fall for that type of scam, but some people do because they're blinded by their own greed and they overlook clues that should be painfully obvious.
You say that, but I've been getting meeting invitations all week from people at my company's international locations for an hour before I'll actually be at work thanks to DST.
Would someone tell me how this happened? We were the fucking vanguard of smart phones in this country. The iPhone X was the phone to own. Now we're standing around with our cocks in our hands, selling single notch phones. Suddenly we're the chumps. Well, fuck it. We're going to five notches.
Sure, we could go to three next, like the competition. That seems like the logical thing to do..After all, one worked out pretty well and the competition went to two. Three is the next number after two. So let's play it safe. Why innovate when we can follow? Oh, I know why: Because we're a business, that's why!
It's not that simple. We are the product, but we are also the users. Everyone who continues to use these services gets something that they value, otherwise they stop using them and disappear.
Yes, advertisements are shown and any personal data we provide is likely to be sold in order to pay for the service. We all have free will, however, and we all decide for ourselves whether what we get out of the service is worth that exchange.
DDT was only banned for agricultural use. It is still available for use in mosquito control in countries that need it.
The problem is that overuse of DDT allowed mosquitoes to develop a strong resistance to it. Here's a nice study on that topic, but since you won't bother reading it I will quote "We conducted standard insecticide susceptibility testing across western Kenya and found that the Anopheles gambiae mosquito has acquired high resistance to pyrethroids and DDT"
Put simply, DDT doesn't work well for controlling malaria carrying mosquitoes anymore, and that was not caused by media induced panics about DDT. If anything, the media exposure that lead to banning DDT for all other uses probably prolonged it's usefulness for controlling mosquitoes.
ChromeOS isn't Android. It can run a virtualized version of Android to let you run Android apps, but the underlying OS isn't compatible with Android (a fact that became apparent when Google tried to implement native support for Android apps and failed).
If you're going to rant about Google's products, at least make an attempt to rant about the actual product you're posting in response to. ChromeOS has plenty of rant-worthy flaws, but you didn't actually touch on any of them.
Nobody actually bought into Google+ and nobody cares that it's going away.
The accounts that were created were the ones Google forced people to create to sign up for YouTube and other services that they actually did want and people dind't use them. Even Google admitted that 90% of all recent logins to Google+ last less than 5 seconds. At best, those are people who clicked the wrong icon in the Google menu, but it's more likely that it's just a bunch of bots.
Google hasn't forced anyone to buy Chromebooks to use YouTube, on the other hand, so the people who bought them did so willingly. They've sold surprisingly well despite the fact that you can buy a cheap laptop that does more for the same price. It's a profitable product line for Google they like their profits. They'll keep making them as long as people keep buying them in sufficient volume to keep the profits going.
Nah. They've discovered a way to sucker hundreds of people out of $40 or more for a pair of cheap sunglasses and get free advertising that will probably get even more idiots to jump on the bandwagon before the kickstarter campaign is over.

Why you gotta be hating on Taco Tuesday like that?
War isn't an act of nature.

Now larger, heavier and less useful than any other smart phone on the market!

You say that, but some cities in Texas are already cutting routes and weekend service in response to budget problems.
Yes (sort of)
Over the life of the program, the Opportunity and Curiosity rovers have been rebooted and reset a number of times.
It's large and strangely dim. We should call it "Congress."

It's the company formerly known as Snapchat.

Your post is what happens when you don't understand what a quote is and why you aren't supposed to change it.

We live in a world where an $85 leather wrapped rock sold out. Why would you think people wouldn't buy an overpriced computer?

And then he'll question the sexuality of anyone who offers an alternate solution.
IT'S NOT RICO, DAMMIT
They've discovered polarized sunglasses! Genius!

Good thing nobody has swimming pools in that area. What a waste of water that would be.
