Gmail is great period. Regarding privacy; I think their major advantage is they are HONEST, where some of the other more egregious offenders are more concealed.
You DO have privacy in the sense that your neighbor and random people at Google cannot look at your E-mail. You don't give a whole lot up, Although we do know they WILL collect keywords in your e-mail and use it to build a statistical model about you.
If that concerns you, then your best option is to SELF-HOST your E-mail on your own server or purchase a Paid service, such as Office365 or ZohoMail.
That of course would mean that Apple nees to violate their mission statement:
Maximizing profit is not in conflict with their mission statement. Doing all of those things listed in their mission statement have proven extremely profitable.
I would be more impressed if apple gave a portion of their profits to green initiatives and in each product sold provided a small factoid book
What would this action cause to increase Apple's profits? I expect management to fulfill their obligation to maximize Apple shareholders' investment returns, otherwise offenders are subject to getting sued and ejected.
They're suing to make the Department of Energy do what it is legally required to do.
I read they're suing claiming the delay to publishing the regulation is a violation of some "Anti-backsliding" rule.... in other words, seeking to revise the regulation in progress is equivalent to Lowering the required bar for efficiency
Telling racial jokes or using racial epitaphs don't necessarily make someone a racist
Also, "racial insensitivity", one supposedly "racist" act of any kind, or making a story or meme depicting someone in a racially-stereotyped role such as a gender X member of race Y good at sport Z or loving to Q, does not in itself mean someone is racist.
Contracts cannot trump the law. You have a right to repair with any compatible parts. It doesn't matter what you've agreed to.
If you sign up for an additional contract which you pay more money for such as "Applecare", then it is Not your product warranty --- your warranty was promises your manufacturer made about the fitness of your product; instead Applecare, Etc, is is a service plan which you have acquired as a separate agreement.
Contracts don't trump the law, but it doesn't have to --- special extended service plans with other perks CAN be written to terminate if you try to do your own repairs or make modifications to the product, then you may be left with only your original warranty terms and period (that might already be exhausted, therefore you're no longer covered).
Probably they already have. I'm just saying. This is part of the game of chess powerful players in large governments play with each other to try and get more things going their way.
This just comes to show that neither country's version of "democracy" has managed to eliminate the Oligarchy, and how the "State" can still become detrimental to the people, as it begins to serve more and more the interests of the Nobility (The "Congressmen" and "Officials" who maintain a pretension of being chosen by the people ---- In reality, their composition is biased heavily towards their In-Group supported by whatever corporations and billionaires are in favor of what they will Truly wind up doing with their power).
It's just in the US our Nobility let us pretend to elect them to their office (But our choices are limited to Oligarch A or Oligarch B), most of the time, so "Influencing" our elections is more about who can do the most favors for which side to get the one of two options that best serves other states.
It's not binding on us at all, because the president doesn't have the authority to bind the US to an agreement beyond his or her term without a treaty requiring a Senate confirmation which has not been obtained by Obama for entering the Paris accord, thus Trump can simply repudiate Obama's unauthorized signing.
The IA-32 chip designs -- the way instructions get implemented on a chip are the Intel patent.
What you cannot patent, or what can be challenged - is the particular user interface.
For example, you cannot patent the notion of "ADD Instruction" with such and such hex code, that takes 3 registers as input, that is written like this [example example example]; the invention would be a specific machine implementation or specific logic circuit which processes this instruction.
So the ability to patent your IA-32 chip design does not mean you can exclude someone else from independently designing a chip of their own which provides the same use interface and accomplishes the same computation (Using a different novel circuit design), and does not give a leg to stand on against emulators, either.
We've got case law that explicitly forbids this. Quit spreading this fucking rumor.
The stickers probably Do say something like "Warranty Void if Removed", and there might be a term of "supplementary" contracts such as Applecare that you not touch the stickers.
Even if not; as far as I know in the US there's no law against manufacturers Falsely telling consumers in the wording that the warranty will be void if sticker removed, then it becomes a lesser known fact that the company might still have to honor warranty.
Given their "$18.31" stock price. Call when they drop below $0.02 per share. They are a for-profit business no chance in heck of going to any kind of co-op, sorry. Investors won't be on-board for that.
Meanwhile, people who bought in 2014 or earlier, and held, lost all or most of their Bitcoin when the exchange holding all their Bitcoin folded suddenly
If You knew what you were doing AND bought with intent to hold, then chances are your coins were in an Offline wallet, and not lost during the Mt.Gox issues.
On the other hand: If you bought and were intending to trade, so kept your BTC with the Exchange, then you were screwed.
The reality is that living with a disability or chronic illness can really suck.
Well Boo Hoo. If I just want to make a little extra money renting out my home short term through AirBnB though: The "your illness or whatever sucks part" is not my problem to solve. it would be most cost-efficient for me to have a standard home with no specialized features such as ramps or animals allowed and just rent this only to people who can definitely use it as is as I expect, with minimal risk, and not raise a doubt in my mind.
At this point it's not "discrimination" to fail to offer accommodations for people who have or would likely have special requirements above and beyond what the average person would require Or who would be a higher risk, for injjury, or creating any potential situation I don't want to have to deal with...
I would say those people SHOULD pay a market premium/higher price for that. And the additional costs for that premium should come from the public/everyone in the form of a subsidy to support such accommodations ---- In other words the "Really Sucks" problem should be borne equally by all taxpayers to provide the needed offsetting incentive, not a burden to be laid upon people renting out accommodations in particular.
Blaming Trump is vacuous. We the People have spoken and it is what it is.
Yep. And Trump promised during his campaign to take the US out of this agreement, So he's doing what he said what he would do which is better than what thousands of current and past politicians have done. If you didn't like it, then you should've voted someone else into office.
"What we have accomplished is at the very least to shift the burden of proof on this issue to those who claim cash transfer [sic] make poor people lazy,
No you/they haven't. Burden of proof to support a costly program or scheme does not work that way: You have the burden, and your concept doesn't have merit until you've proven it ---- showing a little bit of evidence doesn't change the burden of proof to someone else's. The burden of proof remains to show that Universal Basic Income provides more value than it costs in order to justify this radical scheme.
As for the evidence that providing Food or resources without having to work for it promotes Laziness or failing results ---- the strong exemplars of this happening are readily available throughout history. Communism/Socialism to any degree reduces production and doesn't create sustainable economies; history's littered with numerous examples...
If only there were a simple alliterative mantra espousing.....
This is Not a valid justification for making your primary storage Or your backup less portable/flexible, less durable and more likely to fail.
I would say if your junk is soldered to the board, then having a single backup is not adequate --- You now need 1 more backup set to be kept maintained than you should have needed otherwise, because you've eliminated a whole class of recovery solutions that have very high success rates for the vast majority of real-world incidents.
This is because both titans use their customers as ammution, and netflix simply got more. If comcast depeers Netflix
No problem; They can profile their customers and roll the rate-limits out gradually in concert with other providers, concentrating on customers outside of DSL range first. MOST cable internet users don't have a reasonable alternative.
Property, sure. Accounts... are they really personal property?
Yes, Accounts represent the service provided to a person, and their successors have the rights to the former person's persona, for example, if the person owned a store and the persona was used to conduct business, the Facebook account might have been used to solicit and communicate with customers, the person in charge of the deceased's estate has the right to continue to conduct or see to the contact or continuity/transfer of business under the former person's persona.
The rights of the people the daughter was having conversations with.
If they posted it on Facebook, then same as E-mail. The internet protocol message is a telecom, but It stops being a telecommunication as soon as it arrives at the destination and the recipient has the choice to delete it or keep it/file it away and doesn't choose to delete it; it's a delivered piece of correspondence that the recipient has the ability to share with anyone.
It's a fact that if you put something in writing and file it away, And you die, then whoever succeeds you takes on the ownership rights to your papers and written correspondence, even if they were private letters or e-mails, or instant messages, or whatever.
The appeals court said on Wednesday that the right to private telecommunications outweighed the right to inheritance
The already dead have no personal rights! Only their survivors have rights. As for parental rights.... most of what the Child would have had in terms of possessions, online accounts, etc. would be the parent's property, since children are not usually capable of acquiring their own computers, Etc, they use property purchased by the parent, under mutually agreed conditions. There's nothing to inherit, if the Parent held title to all property and accounts in the first place.
and that the parents' obligation to protect their daughter's rights expired with her death.
What rights? Again, the dead have no ability to assert personal rights, and no rights to be protected. Only their survivors have rights, which are theirs, and not the dead person's.
It's all hubris. The major broadband carriers Don't care if Netflix thinks they've got theirs. Once net neutrality is gone, they can push their own service --- unleash the rate limiting - service will degrade, and people will be incentivized to switch to their carrier's streaming service.
In the latest Macbook/Macbook Pro Retinas with the Touch Bar Apple SOLDERS the SSD to the board to prevent the user from upgrading it ---- this also means you cannot remove it, Or if your laptop becomes damaged then you're screwed, no way to move your data, and Apple stores won't help you extract data, not for a million bucks.

No one is "storing" its bitcoins on an exchange service.
Don't say No One. People who didn't understand the counterparty risks before buying BTC and how to mitigate them may have.
