you leased it. we don't want you having it anymore. you agreed to this when we first met and we can change those rules as we see fit. don't make us brick you.
Well being the victim is where it's at. Unfortunately no client I've ever had has cared about gender, race or socioeconomic status; they just want it fixed. I loathe the day that tech organizations are filled with people who have less tech in the game than social justice. In some organizations I think we're already at that tipping point and it stifles creativity.
your examples are still not fully opaque. Electricity is traded as a commodity, routers and networks could be but aren't. If you don't charge me for my usage but charge me bulk pricing that disregards patterns of usage then what do you care how much of it that I use? I think we've now transcended into a net neutrality debate. I'll use my unlimited bandwidth on my unlimited storage in an unlimited way, after all that's what I pay for.
I have no pity for business that promises and prices "unlimited" services and then is suddenly shocked when somebody says "hold my beer."
so using their service of "unlimited" means that I'm abusing it? clearly there needs to be some clarification in their business model. It's like the old Flip Wilson story about the Lemonade stand:
As a kid, I used to have a lemonade stand. The sign said, "All you can drink for a dime." So some kid would come up, plunk down the dime, drink a glass, and then say, "Refill it." I'd say, "That'll be another dime." "How come? Your sign says--" "Well, you had a glass, didn't you?" "Yeah." "And that's all you can drink for a dime." -- Flip Wilson
There used to be the notion of data retention, it was embedded in mainframes and OS stacks dating back to the 70s to prevent this kind of thing. Data owners had to take proactive steps to ensure retention. I myself have found that a few DROBOs filled up act nicely to preserve all that ancient knowledge, like my old MSDN CDs that had all the C++ documentation before they purged it in favor of C# and my Leisure Suit Larry collection. So don't call us hoarders, call us digital monks of the digital monastery saving history for future generations.
Stop, enough. it's not about Climate Change, it's about overfishing and using fishing technologies that destroy habitat. We've known about this for decades and yet we still bottom dragging net catches and huge factory ships to overtax the eco system. Species are being wiped out because of their desirability and now sadly, rarity. This has nothing to do with fucking climate hoax and has everything to do with greed and too many people.
Sorry, this whole thing is about protecting territory. With falling ticket revenues these big producers need to think about story quality rather than raping Indiana Jones.
Restaurants as far as I can remember have always had booths, tables that can be joined together etc. Hell the prototypical diner with a long counter is one big open room with lots of sound reflecting surfaces. I'll grant you that materials selection/design could help but it's more to do with peoples' attitudes that are the big culprit here.
No, it's because people are more lazy and have become more introverted avoiding social situations. There's also that MMORPG thing I have to get back to.
Sorry, while the acoustics of a lot of restaurants leave much to be desired it's really the self-absorbed patrons and staff. You see we like to think we're all in our own world while eating out but the thing is your conversation levels tend to be a bit loud. People when they're going out and eating with others tend to be a little more boisterous anyway, hey they're having a good time right? Because your conversation is above a normal tone, the folks text to you can't hear their conversation. To compensate, they retaliate subconsciously and talk louder too. It especially gets bad with large groups with more than 4 people or with families / groups with kids under the age of 7 are seated nearby. Restaurants/bars et. al. could do us a favor by putting up some noise dampening material but that still won't fix the loud obnoxious clods two tables over who are in their own little world.
Naw, I watched Idiocracy when it first came out, so I knew what 2018 was going to look like. I also know what 2100 will be like too. Well maybe the Kardashians won't be around by 2100 but I can still hope.
Stop breathing, don't try to lose weight, don't stay in shape, or better yet just die. That's the whole goal of this in the long run, isn't it? We have too many people on the planet going after too few resources which means depletion of eco-systems. The planet is fine, the people are fucked at 7 Billion+, we can't sustain that.

you leased it.
we don't want you having it anymore.
you agreed to this when we first met and we can change those rules as we see fit.
don't make us brick you.
been there, done that. Yawn.
Black hole mails you.
Nothing to see here, I still love Firefox but this is more of an add-on than a feature. I also can't see most enterprises being happy with it either.
It's the only way to be sure.
Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter.. All of it.
doing it wrong.

1) Build Services that allow for "unlimited"
2) ???
3) Profit!
the essential business model for E business and why they fail.

it's a virtual resource, I can't tangibly hold it therefore I don't care how much I use; end of story.
Is still censorship.

Then what did they mean by unlimited?

The job of management is to get somebody to do something they don't want to do for less than they're willing to do it for.

I'm sorry the 90s called and they want their "e" back.
What defines bad behavior? That's what Firewall vendors all make a living on.

How so? Show me that the US actually was the country responsible for the increase. Until then this is a lot of hot air.
