Indeed. One of my favorite ways to rapidly escalate a roadside interview is to agree to a search of my vehicle if the officer allows me to search his, as well.
Since this is in no way a rare instance of a powerful man cashing in public clout for some private wealth, ask yourself what the corporations get in return.
A few hundred million in under priced stock options and bonus money for what? You may or may not like Apple, but they're not a stupid company. The value of a few meetings, a couple of favorable trade exceptions, and some lucrative government contract work probably more than covers this expense.
The really civilized thing is, we do almost all of our bribery above board these days.
Ah, to be fair, you most often still pay the fare to be 199th, 1999th, and so on... but the sooner you need your new shiny, relative to the competing contestants in your social circle (perhaps some social groups should be square or other geometric configurations), the more you have to pay for the oneupmanship.
Quite a range. I dearly hope the lower end of the range is for some Shleprock who forgot his passcode and the 250K fee is for any customer with the last name Government.
Would *you* risk getting detained for an indefinite period, however illegally, just because you want to assert that your constitutional rights are being violated? Of course I can appreciate the sentiment behind what you are saying, but people are bending over and taking this kind of crap at the borders not because they particularly *want* any appearance of increased security, but because they just want to fucking go home, and cooperating fully with the border agents, even the ones who might abuse their position, and even if your rights are being violated, is generally expected to be the most expedient path to that end.
That's precisely the fucking problem. People are no longer willing to be even inconvenienced to stand up for their civil rights, earned by the very blood of those who came before them.
I certainly appreciate the sentiment, and I hope your endeavor is successful. Far too many freedoms are forfeited at the border, and at Customs during TSA "interviews".
Although it should go without saying, and certainly without legislating, once American citizenship is established at these checkpoints the full protection of the Constitution against unlawful search and seizure immediately kicks in.
You make a great point about the systemic undervaluing of security, but it's probably fair to say the value of Yahoo had plummeted prior to the first Verizon offer.
FD: I would never be confused with a person who has movie-star good looks, but I've been hit on in the work place by coworkers, often subordinate employees.
Wherever men and women congregate, there will be attempts to encourage that act linked to procreation; in and of itself, a simple proposition is not harassment.
Dealerships that tote-the-note are familiar with, and quite fond of, maintaining control of some of the apps on your vehicle.
If you miss a payment or two, they can (sometimes) use GPS to locate the vehicle, disable it remotely, and activate the horn if the vehicle is being sequestered nearby.
This is probably the jaded perspective, but now that Amazon has started behaving properly and paying lots of local Euro taxes, their products' banishment is less eminent.
FTA: A 2015 study suggested that this happens in almost all pregnant women, at least temporarily. The researchers tested tissue samples from the kidneys, livers, spleens, lungs, hearts, and brains of 26 women who tragically died while pregnant or within one month of giving birth. The study found that the women had fetal cells in all of these tissues. The researchers knew that the cells were from the fetus, and not from the mother, because the cells contained a Y chromosome (found only in males) and the women had all been carrying sons.
In some cases, fetal cells may stay in a woman's body for years. In a 2012 study, researchers analyzed the brains of 59 women ages 32 to 101, after they had died. They found 63 percent of these women had traces of male DNA from fetal cells in their brains. The oldest woman to have fetal cells in her brain was 94 years old, suggesting that these cells can sometimes stay in the body for a lifetime.

Neither the building materials, nor the air in close proximity to it, get the chance to absorb the radiation and the heat the absorption develops.

There is no way you could profitably make a $4 smartphone without some sort of subsidy, regardless of the fraud issue.
Unless you could lock the purchasers into a multiyear contract for usage in exchange for the cheap phone.

Alright, lets say I'm likely to use the license >1, but 200 times... what's the point at which it begins to pay dividends to own the subscription?
The FBI spent close to a million on the San Bernadino iPhone 5C hack, but they also acquired the technique from the contractor.
Quite a range. I dearly hope the lower end of the range is for some Shleprock who forgot his passcode and the 250K fee is for any customer with the last name Government.
Can we just hold progress back another 40 years or so?
Much like the inevitable cure for cancer and off-planet settlements, the newest wonder-tech is generally always presumed to be 20 years away.
Yessir.
Can we just stipulate that revenue is perhaps not indicative of excellence?
The smaller battery could've fixed it in the first place if you'd left the easily replaced battery as a bloody option. Twats.
What the frack are you Norwegians and Finns up to, lately?

Send him snail mail or a phone call.
Come on now. He's a member of the Senate, the most exclusive club in the country. You don't think he reads Slashdot?

Yahoo's timeline: value
They also recently purchased online retailer Jet (for $3 billion cash and $300 million in stock) to compete with the Amazon juggernaut.
Amazon has fended off the other giant retailer very effectively, thus far.

it isn't clear these microorganisms weren't the result of contamination by researchers or the miners who discovered the cave 100 years ago.
“If I was a consumer who was less than tech-savvy, I would probably consider buying new rather than second-hand for this reason,” he said.

I think the President just has to finish working on something and then he'll switch phones with the Secret Service.
