Exactly. It's like: "my hardware/software doesn't do everything I imagined it would do". I don't see Amazon making claims to do what the writer wants or that it would be deemed "easy" in the mind of the programmer/user. No news, just standard complaints from a partially dissatisfied customer.
Cloudflare has said it is not in the business of censoring websites and will not deny its services to even the most offensive purveyors of hate.
If this is really what Cloudflare does, then: "thank you Cloudflare". I hate censorship. The Internet is choice based. You are not forced to go to websites, or be friends with people who pass content you don't like on Facebook, etc.
I feel when you muzzle people, the only means left to express themselves is through their fists. I would rather let someone post their message, then beat it into me. You have a choice to ignore and avoid what I do not like online.
I want to know what people think. Even if it is offensive to me. I want to know what it is people dislike about me or my culture. I want to know why people take violent actions. I want to know what is the true mindset of people in the world. I want freedom to decide what is acceptable reading for my own consumption. And I don't want to "think about the children" because that is the responsibility and prerogative of their own parents.
Your numbers are off. I see 64 GB media for average of $30 CAD (I see one for $27). That's about $22.50 USD. Stop going to Best Buy for accessories and their push for you to buy bull crap insurance on everything. That is where they collect their margins.
Your price estimate is 50% higher than what I see in reality.
The DHS needs to be abolished... the CIA and NSA need a top-to-bottom purging... checks on their powers and scope put in place.
Great post. This is exactly what Trump should do. Instead of complaining about how he was personally effected by Democrat eavesdropping, he should expand this to a fight for all citizens to once again feel free and not like a suspect under investigation.
That really would make America great. And it might just win him a lot of support.
2. Pre-accuse opposition of trying to rig election to deflect future accusations from oneself.
3. When sending election riggers to the polls, be sure to claim they are monitoring the opposition for rigging to explain their presence.
4. After the election, make an ass of yourself, to flood the media and avoid investigation of your crimes.
5. Withhold innocent information and then have your secret accomplice accuse you of wrongdoing in order to misdirect and delay investigation of your true crimes. This could be something as simple as withholding your own tax return.
6. Make up words like "Fake News" as a weapon against those who would expose your crimes through investigation.
7. Consolidate media broadcasting to control the narrative.
8. Rule your citizens using a national military-like team who claim to fight a fictitious enemy using a generic word like: terrorist.
9. Invade every private aspect of your citizens (eavesdrop) to locate and jail opposition voices under the guise of fighting a fictitious enemy.
10. Build a wall around your enslaved people so there can be no freedom and no way out and no foreign freedom fighter can come to free your nation of slaves.
Once you complete these 10 steps you may proceed to pillaging national resources for yourself while your people work and die without choice or compensation.
Lets start calling fake news by its true, historical name: Gossip.
A better word is: Propaganda
The Torah, Koran, Old Testament and New all condemn those who spread it
All of those books you mention are fake news themselves.
The push to eliminate "Fake News" is not about achieving the truth. It is about sending only one message and making sure that no alternative messages get through. Without "fake news" there will be no opposing voice to the remaining "true news"... which of course will itself just be the only surviving source of "fake news".
Microsoft stole from me too. Forced me to pay for them products and services I didn't want and never used. They shoulda went to jail for it. But Microsoft is dead and that is all over now.
This is not a story about Microsoft. Nor is this a story about Bill Gates... as the linked article implies in its title and captions. This is about Paul Allen doing a very nice thing for poor people in Seattle.
I'm sure a rich man like this can use their position to avoid paying anyone for anything. But instead he goes and does this very nice thing.
That's right Lot enjoyed making children with his own daughters. There is no guesswork. It is written. Pretty much everyone in the bible is a rotten character, otherwise it wouldn't be much fun reading it and probably forgotten by now.
You said: 99%. Are you saying that carbon dating is 99% accurate? So you must know of at least one method that is better and a minimum of 98 methods which are not so good. Please list these method. No? Then why not say "most" or "closer" or something which is not a factual number when speaking about something you apparently know very much about.
assume your smartphone is being fingerprinted and tracked
It's totally wrong. I do not think Uber should be allowed a free pass just because you say we should assume everybody else it doing it. Anybody who does this is wrong. It's wrong and Uber is wrong.
Uber stepped in it and you want me to think: "oh well. that's the way life is".
Uber is trying to enter my city. If they do, I will not use their service because their app is intentionally broken. I will advise people I know not to use Uber until they answer to how they will fix this and remove all the silent tracking of their customers. Uber app is just creepy.
cops... can cut a hole in your wall and install their own camera.
That is how it should be. The police should get a warrant and then use their own products and tools to do their job. We should not be sold weak and broken mechanical and electronic devices, so that an investigative authority can turn our property into self incriminating evidence collectors at any time.
IMO.. If you think of gravity as a warp in space-time and strong positive gravity is represented the shape of space-time around a black hole, then a white hole would have warped space-time around it that represents "negative gravity". I think.
Maybe the big bang is a white hole location in space-time. So you can imagine that negative gravity is everywhere you look into the far distance just beyond what you can see.
Or maybe this is just Burger King expressing free speech in their advertisement.
Is advertising really the problem, or is the problem a device that constantly listens to your environment and cannot tell the difference between when you want it to work and when you do not.
Tech companies SHOULD offering a "secret place for citizens to communicate"
What a load of crap that we should worry that ever single bit of communication prior to some crime MUST be known. That's nutty thinking with the end desire to never have any (legal) conversation occur outside of government recording, monitoring and evidence collection.
Safe Harbor SAVES the world $1 BILLION from greedy royalty payments.
Does anybody believe the royalty collectors are paying anyone but the few superstars elected by industry insiders, while most musicians see nothing and starve?
Ten years ago I noticed that the NSA was writing security modules for the Linux kernel.
I thought it was a bad idea to allow the NSA to write security code, when it is their job to circumvent it. I was labelled a nut for worrying about this.
Now when I mention this same old issue to Linux people, they say "yes, but I don't have anything to hide".
It's funny that what was so shocking of an idea because the ramifications were so horrible, are now simply excepted as reality and then shrugged off as not being a significant problem. But there is a real problem: Apathy
IMO: it is disgusting how much Americans are allowing governments and business to rape their privacy.
Adobe programmers killed Flash by creating a bloated program requiring intense resources with low performance. Then they forced users to pay them a license fee on every computer whether that user wanted their garbage software or not. They are bad like Microsoft and just like Windows, it died.
I think they just don't want anyone running unowned hardware in the cabin of a plane. Also, it is easier to copy all your data when the device leaves your hands.

The essentials are: food, water, clothing and shelter, sanitation, education, and healthcare.
...and the interview resulting in the job/money to obtain these essentials is NOT essential?

I don't know why this guy hates Trump so much. Just because Trump spews bad ideas does not mean he will not be a great King.
Are you the same guys who added NSA modules into the Linux kernel? Because I would like to here more about your audit process on that.

Is a dead child more significant than a dead adult?
Yes. A child's death is more significant than that of an adult.
sites that watch prices of items ... help you get the lowest rate.
Right, because price watch sites are not pulling cash from your pocket either.
Price collusion is easier when only one source provides the information. Check the insurance companies in the US for examples on how they did/do it.
Paul Allen... you evaded paying what you owe.

Democracy is not a joke, but what we got up here is "fake democracy" and a joker.

Can you see the difference?
IMO.. If you think of gravity as a warp in space-time and strong positive gravity is represented the shape of space-time around a black hole, then a white hole would have warped space-time around it that represents "negative gravity". I think.
Maybe the big bang is a white hole location in space-time. So you can imagine that negative gravity is everywhere you look into the far distance just beyond what you can see.

Phones are owned, so they are allowed.
