Like what? A place to live? That is taxable compensation. A car? That is taxable compensation. Food? Taxable compensation.
I already covered those. My taxable compensation will be 30k per year, maybe. Big deal, I'll pay taxes on that, happily.
I think he's saying that beyond that 30k in cash, the value of the house above and beyond your "nominal" payments also qualifies as a taxable benefit. That is, if the area tends to rent a house comparable to yours for 5k/mo and you're paying 1k/mo, that's 48k/yr of (non-cash) benefit that is taxable. If you're paying 5k/mo, there's no overage that's taxable, but now you're spending more than your 30k.
or maybe someone who can make those decisions just got pissed at cookies for some reason and they don't see any harm to Apple in using their 800 pound gorilla status.
or cussed while shelling out for a lightning splitter so they could both charge and use the adapter at the same time like you could do before with two less dongles.
I recall reading an article a couple weeks ago that asserted that during the crash, it wasn't lower income owners whose rate of mortgage default increased, it was flippers. So yeah... fun with speculation.
No, at the end of the day it's a portable wireless web browser that includes skype. Being able to look up stuff on the net on a whim without having to find and boot a computer made a fairly substantial difference in my life. YMMV.
I'm unaware of the definition of "preferring" that requires "manipulate the transmission". Indeed, manipulating pricing would be something I would tend to describe as "preferential treatment", which pretty much has "preferring" in the name...
well, according to this quicky list from 2012 the set of kids+retirees appears to be approximately 33%. Assume that hasn't changed and that makes 108 million out of that 197. Seems unlikely that college kids and people between jobs make up 89 million, but don't forget the category of "stay at home parent not interested in working outside the home".
I recall stories of Uber's surge pricing algorithm triggering when people wanted to leave the area of a shooting (I believe) a couple of months ago, and they did get lambasted. I also seem to recall they turned it off once they realized what was going on, but the computer doesn't know why demand went up in the last 5 minutes, just that it did.
in a 50d space, "trillions" is still going to be fairly wide spread. assuming your axes all go from 0 to 1 and that's it, and you avoid fractions, you've still got 2^50 nodes, which is on the order of a quadrillion, or 1000 nodes per text block.
Sure, there's likely to be clustering, but it's not quite as inevitable as you're assuming from just the number of data sets.
It's not invalid, but it's not the job in question. The job in question is specced as "something running in a browser". Sure, there's folks who won't use the product because of that, but they're not the target market. There's a proposal to put together a different group to address that market, but management's not sure it's big enough to be worth the investment, so it's not funded quite yet...
Yes. Their business version does not support peer-to-peer. They do, however, support backing up to a local folder, and they have instructions on how to get the backup archives with your data moved from the other computer to a local filesystem (e.g. an external disk): https://support.crashplan.com/...
But the only offsite target they're going to support appears to be themselves.
I got an email this morning. It seems like the main thing that they're dropping is the "unlimited computers for a flat rate" (raising the rate for a single computer is also there, but not as big a change imho).
So, looks like it's time to teach everything how to back up to the file server in a format that I can then make crashplan SMB (or something else) back up as data files. *sigh*
Remember, for people to act in their self interest they have to have information, and enough understanding to interpret it. The latter is not common these days, and as a result the former is also being allowed to slip by the wayside.
The body's internal regulation systems seem to have a lower limit on "expected exercise"... only it's implemented as a lower limit on "expected eating". Folks generally exert themselves so little these days that balancing food in and exertion out results in amounts of food per day that are very close to triggering the famine handlers (metabolism reduction, extreme calorie scavenging, etc.) Sucks =/
Exercise will not make you lose weight directly, much, but it can help you keep your metabolism in a place that makes it easier to lose weight.
most bingers aren't "honoring the signals of hunger and fullness" (item 2) or "stop[ping] when full" (item 3), they're eating because of habit. stress is a particularly common trigger for eating when not hungry; avoiding stress (item 1, 4) can help avoid binging.
There's more useful advice in that than you're giving credit for.
this is in fact exactly the kind of thing that makes me think copyright should be 20 years, tops. That's a generation. After that, the work is most likely either forgotten and not going to earn much more, or it's become part of the general culture.

how do you know they didn't try to? Perhaps CTR uses something that Mozilla just doesn't want to provide anymore.
you honestly think 1 event out of 4 billion years is better than 150 years of events out of 4 billion years?

Whirlpool is now facing a non-level playing field. This does not seem to meet the usual definitions of a free or fair market.

greed could be conceivably considered part of ego. How many times have we heard "the money is just a way to keep score" in one form or another?

Tarsnap looks interesting. Thanks for the pointer :)
Probably because that review says nothing about linux, which is kind of important to the original poster.

it works great if you have Educated Consumers. You can find them at the same shop with the frictionless paint and the spherical chickens.
