This is the same as Echelon. "USA: We don't spy on our citizens. Hey UK, here is all of the data on our citizens, please spy on them. UK: We don't spy on our citizens. Hey USA, here is all of the data on our citizens, please spy on them."
I don't care who provided my personal details, they are still mine. The fact that facebook is knowingly trying to make an end-run around privacy laws means they are complicit. Zuck and friends should be sitting in jail.
But, if you testify to congress that you don't have any Earl Grey, and you suddenly show up with a cup of Tea, Earl Grey, Hot; you can bet your ass is going to be hauled in front of congress again.
I genuinely believe that they're asking for your number so they can help protect your account... which said data is kept separate and compartmentalized from the data they know about you for advertising purposes.
You may be the stupidest person on slashdot.
The entire point of Facebook existing is to collect data. Why would they keep anything compartmentalized?
Or it is the only one on this list that doesn't store the passwords in a reversible encryption with a key on a 3rd party site; virtually guaranteeing it will be cracked eventually.
Try playing ice hockey sometime, its fucking expensive if you are a kid from a poor family. In areas where hockey is not very popular, you end up with it being more of a "rich kid sport".
I fully support someone that thinks "Facebook is dirt, I want nothing to do with it."
But when a politician says this, they mean "Facebook is dirt, nobody should be allowed to use it." Especially if those somebodies have something mean about the politician.
That is a good point. In a lot of ways the Chinese internet is better for them. The only stores available are Chinese; fine, and no pesky trademarks to worry about, so copycat goods are plentiful and cheap. The only social media available is Chinese; fine, that is where their friends are. Copyright doesn't exist, download whatever content you want, for free, nobody cares.
My home Verizon router is both. It has a unique default password printed on a sticker on the device. If you reset it to the defaults that becomes the password.
And the first thing you do to the device when you set it up is to reset it to the defaults with a button on the device.
Now, when I forget the password that I put into it, I can simply reset the device and use the password on the sticker.
The problem (at least where I live) is that the malls themselves are located in places where nobody wants to live. Who wants to live in a warehouse located 15 miles (and 45 minutes during rush hour) away from the city center? You couldn't build enough housing to make a mall self sufficient. These things usually serve communities of tens of thousands, and are designed to attract tourist/shopping traffic from as much as 100 miles away.
There is a dying mall near me that is less than 15 years old, and it is so big that it has to be located outside of the suburbs. Their theory was that "if you build it..."
Turns out nobody came. And there aren't any mass transportation routes or even realistic highways near the thing, so nobody wants to live in or around it. Hell, I just want them to hurry up and bulldoze the thing so they can stop running the lights over the empty parking lot all night. Its a light pollution eyesore.
No, he is asking how you pay to get online in the first place. I suppose you could do prepaid phone cards from a store, but those get expensive if you are using them just for regular internet access.
According to the map, an average American mall has more area than where the cars are not allowed.
I know some people are trying to bring back the mall+residential concept here in order to keep malls from dying. The difference here is that Pontevedra is the city center instead of the middle of fucking nowhere.
This would make sense for any city that has never been rebuilt since the invention of cars. But it doesn't make for a useful model on existing major cities.
Slashdot Mirror
If you enjoy driving then you are less likely to get bored of it or misunderstand the saftey features.
If the commuters that would rather be texting or whatever had an alternative that was inexpensive and fast, they would take it.

I am pretty sure "I'm a big dummy that has no idea what goes on in my company worth billions of dollars" is not a valid defense in court.

Deploy an air brake, increase drag, deorbit both.
Google's email service doesn't block google's pixel trackers?
I am shocked, I say, shocked! Well, actually I am not all that shocked.
The Greater Good
Except this is a politician threatening to fine or ban Facebook if they don't deal with all the meanies that hurt her feelings.
"I don't like something, it should be banned."
Brilliant logic there.

Are you kidding? They allowed 3G networks to brand themselves as 4G for marketing purposes. They are even more owned by telecoms than the FCC is.
Schrodinger's Cat is just a thought experiment. The rules of quantum mechanics don't apply to large scale things like cats.
Applying Schrodinger's Cat to physics itself does not actually change physics.
Ok, nice attempt to change the subject, you didn't answer the question.
No, he is asking how you pay to get online in the first place. I suppose you could do prepaid phone cards from a store, but those get expensive if you are using them just for regular internet access.
He thinks he can buy everything locally therefore only ever needing cash.
I can use italics to strawman people's arguments, too.
Though I am not sure you don't believe this. Real question: how do you buy something that isn't sold at a local brick and mortar store?
And we can take our horse-and-buggy down to the open air market to buy all of our locally produced goods.
Between selling random non-electronics related junk and 3rd party sellers; it has become just another Amazon wannabe.
Especially when at a zebra crossing.
