If money can be free speech, how can speech not be free speech? Though this being politics and government i'm betting the under for the over/under in "consistency and fairness" bet.
I won't go point by point, but as soon as you say "socialist" you alienate a big portion of the electorate. The fact that Republicans were voting for Bernie can be read as either a) they think he'd be a better target in a general election or b) always vote for the second in the race to muddy the waters.
I think there's a lot more a) than you think. The republicans who would stay home for trump/clinton are very likely to come out for Trump/Sanders.
And i think, logically, Trump makes a kind of sense. Not Trump himself, he's a clown. But the idea of Trump. The current Republican party is a party of rich folks who worry about their cash flows who get elected by blue collar folks. The rich folks get the blue collar folks to vote for them with dogwhistle statements and half truths. Trump just called them on it. The fact that he has little substance and what substance he does have is destructive will make a very bad day for the very people who support him now.
Bernie kept on making excuses for some of his poor showings in some states by saying those voters are too conservative, or whatever that means:)
Turns out, those were mostly black voters. He's upset that the electorate isn't the type that votes for him.
whatever his statements are, he's several million votes behind Hillary in the "popular" vote, behind in the delegate race, and super far behind in superdelegate race. The only way to give him the nomination is to deny millions of voters. But that doesn't seem to stop him from wishing it.
I'ts not H1B, its not outsourcing, it's not even globalization. It's capitalism
The secret about capitalism that people don't think about - it REQUIRES growth. As people/companies engage in "creative destruction" something must be built to compensate. But what if the economy isn't growing? what if it's just satiated? You still have the destruction, and you still have the cost-cutting. Do you want to have your cost cutting as H1Bs? Or as prison labor? or as call centers in India? it's all just symptoms of the same root need.
Obviously Trump won't push back on capitalism, or try to even moderately restructure it. Bernie maybe. Hillary (as Obama before her) may try to sand off some rough edges. But until you get the electorate to realize that we need to rethink capitalism and whether it should serve us or us serve it, there will be no real change.
Trump has never served in the armed forces or in any sort of elected capacity. He seems to think government consists of two people at a table dealmaking all day. He'll be very surprised how the world works if elected (that last part made me shudder)
Hillary was also a Senator. She was not just appointed, but ran an election and ran an office.
Coming from the Rust Belt, it would be great to see factories running 3 shifts of thousands of workers again, but I doubt that can be pulled off.
Even China is shrinking their manufacturing worker rolls. Anyone that wants to use manufacturing jobs as a step to a great economy is delusional at this point. The jobs were great, and it's a great idea, if the world would just comply and shift back to the 1970s. You're seeking a rise to greatness for buggy whips and horse collar manufacturers.
I know what you mean, and you're technically right, but the only way we get a contested convention at that point is that all the delegates for people who dropped out still try to deny the race to someone who has 8 times the number of delegates that the next closest candidate has, and is pushed off by someone who, at this point, has fewer delegates than Rubio who dropped out 2 months ago.
Once Cruz dropped out the die was cast. There's no way that Kasich could soldier on and claim any kind of legitimacy. At that point they might as well nominate Paul Ryan.
Im a liberal/progressive/whateverTheyCallMeThisWeek. Im reluctantly supporting Hillary. Bernie "wins" only if he denies certain Democratic voters as illegitimate. The fact that the groups he needs to deny tend to be black should make you cringe a bit. Besides, his platform is too unclear, and depends on "and then a miracle happens" a bit too much (yeah, i'll get flamed for all that, but it's my opinion). Hillary doesn't promise the moon, but she's more likely to get her agenda done.
But Trump - no one really figured he'd get here. Im a bit wary. What people haven't realized up to now is it's not about Trump it's about the voters. The fact that we have a large number of people voting for Trump with no experience and no real plan (I bet Trump would hire a dude off the street with no experience but yuuuge hair for CEO in a second) just because of anger. It's making me rethink our electorate. Could he win? I thought there's no chance he'd be here. I thought that once we got away from Trump and the 16 dwarves where Trump dominated the headlines we'd back away from Trump. But no, he was strengthened once he got close. I really wonder.
Kasich could have won every delegate from Tuesday night to convention time and still would not have caught Trump. How he could have gotten any at all much less all of them, when he has no cash and won only his home state is a great question. Other than symbolically not causing a ruckus up to the convention, it means nothing to the race.
Not even close to the same thing, and nobody who'd be happy with one would even consider the other.
Umm, me?
I have some macs at home, so im good with Mac OSX. One of them is our only laptop. Well, not my laptop anymore - wifey uses it all the time. So I need (want, but i round up to need) a second laptop and am considering a MacBook. Im also a pseudo Linux admin. I was looking for a new box, something light to take back and forth to work. So i can drop 1500 on the macbook. Or about half on this guy.
They're both light. Run a UNIX OS. (I'd put FC on it - my work runs CentOS/RHEL and i'd want some consistency, but i need a newer kernel). Won't kill my back if i lug them back and forth daily. And you really don't need an i7. The sweetspot for price performance is an i5.
Now, Im not saying that I'm typical. Im an outlier. But the market you speak of is not zero. The other machine i'm thinking of is an ASUS UX305C.
I do agree with most folks that think this isn't a normal comparison. The headline is kind of clickbaiting, but I for one welcome our new corporate overlords....
India has been trying to support it's nascent cell phone manufacturing industry. They just told Apple no on selling Used phones there.
A cynic would see this as a ploy to help the local industry, making a hardware button specific for a single market. For a local producers who only sell to India, the single market requirement isn't much of a handicap. To international companies this is more of an issue for supply chains and all.
Of course this is not the reason, it's really to protect the women. Which is why they fully support cell phones for women because they cause rapes... wait...
Total control? so you have your own cel protocol? and you made your own chips from sand? You wrote all your own apps? your own OS? You programmed your on memory and disk controllers?
Not to be too cute, but "total control" can never happen. You can slide up and down on the control scale, but you'll never get to 100%. Once you get past that, you can make better choices on your effort/control scale.
Hey your phone will catch fire! We'll throw some mumbo jumbo about NTP to scare you. Please come click on this story, and oh by the way disable your adblocker...
This is why they are so secret with Stingrays. They run them, phones don't show that you're on a Stingray (the phone has to downgrade to 2G to be susceptible to the attack, surely the phone could show you). They don't want to talk about it because they don't want to have to support it in court.
Besides the troll statement at the end, you don't know what professional means.
I worked on a printer "driver" (more like an LPR filter) for several UNIXes, to talk to one of a family of laser printers. This was back in teh day where a color laser printer cost more than your car.
If i changed a single line of code, i had a testing matrix of N UNix platforms, both on GUI and command line, to go to X printers (this one has color, we need to test that it works B/W as well. this one has duplex, this needs to not show it has duplex,...)
Each one line change caused at least 6 hours of testing. Obviously we bundled a lot of our code changes, or you'd go nuts. This is what being a professional and properly testing means.
This seems like a bad Kafka novel. "yes, you bought the car, but you need to pay the tire rolling fee, the windshield wiper water disposal fee, the breathe air from the vent fee..."
There may be one small piece of info that's actually useful. They might have been walking around with the work phone and they might have left a trail of breadcrumbs in the phone, something not uploaded to iCloud servers.
But apple, based on privacy complains before, started wiping this. So it only goes back X days. So, you need to balance. Is position data for X days, where you hope they had their work phone on them when they talked to people with terrorist leanings, worth the damage to the privacy of everyone? I think no. Most would say no as well.
There was a great article in the paper about them (wish i saved a link) about how he slowly and slowly got more devout, and he went to muslim matching sites to find a bride. He didn't seem recruited as part of a cell. He got pissed at a coworker who was a devout jew who believed in christ, and he went off. There's probably not a network to find.
the FBI wanted to save 15,000 x A_LOT_OF_PHONES. Also, if the exploit is the NAND copy exploit as thought, newer phones can't be hacked this way, 15,000 or no.
They wanted to set a precedent. There's ton of iPhones out there waiting to be cracked. Remember these are the guys that run Stingrays without telling you.
As far as the Public Opinion goes, they just guessed wrong. Here's a phone, probably with nothing useful on it. But TERRORISM!!! MUSLIMS!!!! We still have some aspects of the P.AT.R.I.O.T. A.C.T (i write it that way because the back-ronym was silly) around because we were scared then. They thought that Apple would fold, and the public would all support the hack. They guessed wrong.
The legend is that they're copying off the NAND area. Basically, you can then brute force the phone as often as you want.
You have 9 bad attempts. Then before you try the tenth, you copy the NAND back from before, in effect you reset the counter to 0. And you keep banging away.
This won't work with newer phones with a Secure Element.
So, there's no hack to share. Apple has already designed around this particular exploit.
Same. We have a "New" iPad, a.k.a. iPad 3. Still chugging. I'd like it a little lighter, but there's no feature of any newer iPad that would make me buy a new one now while this one works.
Phones need better cameras. You add more and more junk to it. You need a newer phone. with the iPad, our usage has been pretty much web browsing and the occasional game. Nothing too taxing.

I can see Russia from Trump's hair!!
I always wondered what they wandered into after the Netware market collapsed.
How about Audiophile ethernet cables. Hey, they're directional!

They should have added Windows support first. Malware support just comes naturally after that.
