That commercial always pops into my head when I see 'Applologists' defend the company and "technology" no matter what. *Newsflash* if I can buy stock in a company I know they would love nothing more than to have us all wearing their grey tattered clothing line listening to the CEO on a big black and white screen. If that commercial was representative of the internet and apple fans the audience would have jumped up and eaten the person 'zombie style' and then sat back down to listen to Jobs speak about how he's simplified the interface so much that all you need is a power button and they do the rest.
Exactly. If you take this outside of tech you will see it in every industry. "Huh, you can think and invent without someone telling you how to do it?" Of course, there is a point to be made that most won't get a decent 8th grade education until they complete their 2nd year of college.
Not backed by anything...is a flaw in bitcoin. I find it hilarious how gold bugs and paultards are some of the biggest fans of a "currency" that has literally nothing behind it. At least our little fiat currency has an army and a bunch of nukes backing it. I'm not against a digital currency but no one in their right mind is going to seriously consider a ponzi-ish currency with absolutely no security in value as a legitimate alternative to the banking/CC industry middlemen for electronic transactions.
They are pretty much saying, using that verbiage that "critical thinking skills" "are simply a relabeling of Outcome-Based Education (OBE) " because "have the purpose of challenging the student’s fixed beliefs" I don't know much about HOTS or OBE but yes "critical thinking skills" will indeed challenge a students fixed belief. And more to the point: really bad for a lot of religious principles without directly challenging them.
"We recommend that local school boards and classroom teachers be given more authority to deal with disciplinary problems. Corporal punishment is effective and legal in Texas. "
Yes I can totally see these for profit companies lowering their rates to customers who are *mandated* to pay them when all of this money starts flowing in from healthy people who do not use the services.
The *reality* is that the second this passed the insurance companies and employers started tweaking the dials to shift the costs to the customer, this decision was a win/win for only the insurance companies and other for profit centers of health care. Yay there's less of a burden on the government, oops sorry dwindling middle class you know who has pay the piper. Premiums rose 7% in the last year and are up almost 300% from 2000. The average cost is $20,728 per year and employers are consistently moving more of the cost to the employee (for obvious reasons). Does the insurance in Texas rise every year to beat every other economic indicator?
Is there a provision I have to pay the very same for profit middlemen, who make our system so terrible in the first place, or be fined in the ACA?
If so, I do not like what's in the ACA.
Field Sobriety Tests are not for the purpose of assessing if you are or are not drunk, it is for the officer to gather evidence to use against you in court. Generally people fail for missing small details or wobbling a bit when walking heel to toe (which is very hard for a lot of completely normal sober people to do). It is pretty much the same as "do you know how fast you were going?" The officer doesn't care if you do or don't but usually people admit to some lesser degree of speeding which is still evidence to be used against them should they try to fight the ticket.
The more I think about it I am convinced the idea came to him after watching 'The Hunger Games', really that's what this would be should it ever (it won't) come to happen. Luckily it's not just a question of funding it's a logistical and technical nightmare that requires nothing less than armies of people to solve.
The first thought that popped into my head was hours and hours of people begging into cameras to be saved from boredom, injury, etc. It's kind of a neat idea but the "no return ticket" thing is grim. They're basically being sent to a tiny prison (I can't imagine the living quarters would be much more than a jail cell) with no possibility of parole.
I don't get why people have such an issue with this. So what if (and who knows if the movie actually had a hand in it) a movie inspired them to action. It's not like freaked and hid underground for the last 30 years, they simply made it a point to not do business with those who have a hand in the making of devices that if used would basically destroy the planet.
If there is an objective by the CIA or whoever else I doubt it is to get him in there hands. I think it is to make him go away by whatever means possible (while maintaining plausible deniability).
Didn't he release a massive torrent with password protected unedited version of all of the leaks with a threat to release the key?
That's all there is to say. The banks will loan pretty much anything because they know that the debt is nonchargeable (with very rare exception), the schools know this too so they just keep raising tuition and the banks keep loaning more money. If school loans were allowed to be discharged like any other debt you would see the whole show come crumbling down like (probably more so than) the housing bubble. Tuition assistance is pretty much just the "gateway drug" of school loan debt.
Conspiracy or not it is pretty odd to what length the Swedish authorities have gone to in this (if everything is as described) very tenuous rape allegation. They better extradite him soon or they'll have to do a Bin Laden style extraction.
No, it's pretty bad when a "reporting agency" can basically say "welp this is what we think is their information" and present it as fact. It's a pretty basic protection we need from exactly silly stuff like this. FTFA:
"The problem highlighted by the FTC was not the core of what Spokeo does — cyberstalking you! — but that it was selling the information to employers without following the principles of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, i.e. not making sure the info in its reports was accurate and not notifying you if an employer decided not to hire you based on what it found in the Spokeo report."
The market is completely flooded with "shade tree" sysadmins/IT who fit that exact same description.
No one cares about the degrees they just care about *anything* that will help them weed out the thousands of applications from home grown (no experience) Sysadmin/IT Tech. No offense to you or your friend.
You definitely aren't the first and you surely won't be the last. There always seems to be a peak in any website where the features are user driven and then the features are marketing driven. Facebook hit that point a while back and have been alienating their user base ever since.

Well they have to be cozy with the media companies, they wouldn't want a patent suit over the 'walled garden' business model.

Hmm you may be onto something. Funny, how doing so would be considered a violent crime while doing it to a developing child is a-ok.

Yes I can totally see these for profit companies lowering their rates to customers who are *mandated* to pay them when all of this money starts flowing in from healthy people who do not use the services.
And how will this 'totally not a tax' be collected? Hmmm.
Removed would imply it was ever in the bill or in the plan for the bill.

Me too, I don't like to think the slave labor assembling my phone is using anything less than the morally best!
