Ivanka's practices are reminiscent of the personal email account Hillary Clinton used as secretary of state.
Oh?
"Ms. Trump did not create a private server in her house or office, no classified information was ever included, the account was never transferred at Trump Organization, and no emails were ever deleted," Mirijanian said.
Oh. So except for being different in every key particular, especially the classified information, it was reminiscent. I see.
Maybe if copyright worked as it was intended things could be different.
If software copyright lasted for 7 years - OK, maybe we could make it shorter because software - you could make your money and then the world at large would still get full access to your software at some point.
Granted, no idea how that would work with frequent software updates... this is a/. comment, not anything that someone actually thought through carefully;)
Will we go there to live once we have mastered genetic engineering to adapt to any environment?
If so, we'll no longer be "we."
Right on.
Reminds me of Ransom's "translations" in Out of the Silent Planet. The weird obsession with wanting to spread us everywhere even if it means that we will no longer be us.
Right now, with our current level of technology and environmental concern, all we'll do is shit all over Mars over a dozen failed colonization attempts before anyone gets one to stick.
So, like a lot of earthbound colonization?
So sorry dissidents, no revolution from space is coming to foment building your {Libertarian, Socialist, Facist, No Assholes} paradise.
Considering the number of terrestrial political revolutions and upheavals, I find that assertion unlikely too, at least after any kind of self sufficiency is achieved.
(Oh they won't build a paradise, but I can't see nobody trying.)
In the interests of unity... whatever our positions on various issues might be, can we all just agree that the guy is annoying as heck (on anything but very basic science education)?;)
Work demanding to know your cell phone number, you having to wear a step tracker and heart rate monitor to get full insurance benefits, having to give HR your username/password to any social networking sites you use, fingerprint and eye scanners, scanning your network drives and reporting the content when you VPN in...
You're welcome to go work for the college at a reduced rate so that they can lower their costs. I'm guessing that whatever company you work for admits or maintains customers on the basis of their ability to pay.
Now now, you know that they want someone else to pay for it.
That's the part that they never get - that goods and services actually have to come from somewhere.
Never mind the dependency on several different web browsers, each of which are loaded with thousands of capabilities, but behave a little different from eachother. Never mind the hard dependency on a mediocre programming language that changes frequently, cannot be compiled ahead of time, must be served in an inefficient text format, and whose corresponding graphical assets must be sent across the Internet every time the user wants to see them.
The web took off because it was inefficient and text based and supported a vast array of possible clients.
(There's a capitalism vs. communism parallel to be made there, but I'll leave that be.)
Makes it a heck of a lot easier to parse for ads and trackers too....
You sound kind of like you are pining for AOL;)
And BTW, doesn't your browser cache anything? Mine just asks - occasionally - if the graphical asset has changed, and the vast majority of the time shows a local cached copy. And it does that with virtually all resources.
By this retarded logic McDonalds is gourmet food with the *billions* it serves. Hint: It isn't.
Likewise, shit languages like Javascript and PHP, are popular because any code monkey can use them.
Who said they were "gourmet"? The summary said they were most popular, on a repository website.
Anyway, different strokes for different folks. Being usable by people outside of a guild is actually a feature. Maybe not a feature that you are interested in, but a feature nonetheless.
He's not a US citizen, he owes no fucking allegiance to the US. He has no duty to protect US secrets or to the US government.
52 U.S. Code  30121 is a Federal law that makes it a felony for any foreign national to attempt to influence a U.S. election, and a felony for any U.S. citizen to help them do it.
The DOJ appears to be trying to get Assange for conspiracy with Russians or Americans to influence the 2016 U.S. election. There is public information that Roger Stone, a long-time Trump associate, was in contact with Assange during the campaign, discussing how to handle the stolen DNC emails. Maybe that plays out, maybe it doesn't. In any case we'll know more when Mueller wraps things up.
Uh oh, left wing dilemma here then... did Assange "collude"??
Prepare for heads to explode like a 60s sci fi robot caught in a contradiction!
Mitt Romney stopped being involved in day-to-day operations of Bain Capital in February 1999 so he could work on the SLC Winter Olympics. He officially left Bain Capital in early 2002.
Bain Capital's relationship with Toys-R-Us began in 2004 - 2 years after Mitt Romney left.
How dare you soil our narrative with mere facts???
The same design philosophy that accelerated the flow of correspondence, news, and commerce also accelerates the flow of phishing, ransomware, and disinformation.
Well, yes. These are called "tradeoffs".
I don't see anything in the summary (and the stupid hurts, I am not reading the article) about what we would lose with "more friction".
Anyway, there's plenty of friction on the internet, where it matters. Have to login to any site that matters, have to prove identity to things like tax services and (at least initially) banks, etc.
What Facebook and Google have proved lately is that the kind of "friction" they want is against people and ideas that they don't like. #%^ that.
That's when you structure your taxes to disproportionately affect the poor and working class because your elected reps won't raise taxes on their wealthy donors. Another good example is flat alcohol taxes. You'll pay the same tax on that 50 cent can of Pabst Blue Ribbon that your CEO pays on his $3000 bottle of Chateau de something-or-other.
I see. So, Chicago, run by leftists for decades, is actually a regressive place run by fat cats?
Given that Google can’t make this a viable business model, its clear there’s no impending “robot revolution” just about to displace millions of workers via automation. Like most things, fear and hype are fed by the ignorant
But there could be a severe impending shortage of cool YouTube videos of running robots.

Every time I hear the term "Spaceforce" I think of "Salesforce", which fills me with loathing.
I swear I just posted the same thought independently. Salesforce leaves you with PTSD!
Because.... SPACEFORCE!
(Go ahead and down rank me. I deserve it. Sorry.)
Oh ... Space Force!
Whew ... thought you said Salesforce for a minute there (shudder).
We should terraform Antarctica just to piss Bill Nye off.
Who's up for that?
Bwa! Sign me up :)
First time in 20 years I ever recall going from +5 to 0 ... must have a stalker with sock puppet accounts, lol
What amazes me is that anyone would bother. I guess unemployment can do strange things to some people ...

They know where your house is, within a quarter mile.
That's all?
Every seller of whoopie cushions in the 1970s knew exactly which house I lived in, judging by the catalogs we received.

1. One day our company will die.
2. That will happen sooner if we focus on ourselves instead of our customers. So let's focus on our customers.
What's so unreasonable about that?

This is just an other Sin tax, where we are taxing people for products that are deemed by society to be bad for it, but is too popular to ban.
So the leftist lords of Chicago are really Cotton Mather?
The issue is, the Tax will raise the price of the product, but demand will not be affected by an amount, so it is just free money to the City.
Ah, there you hit on it ...
