I know all the cool kids won't invite you to their parties if you praise the idiot-in-chief for anything, but I fail to see the problem here. He played hardball and got what he wanted, and the outcome is in the best interests of the US. If you shut down the company completely, you risk putting other companies off of US suppliers in the long term. That may have been worth it if they hadn't capitulated - but they did capitulate.
What are you talking about? What is Trump getting out of letting a company who is violating trade sanctions to Iran and N. Korea, and has been found to be a security risk; to sell more products in the US?
I can see the big picture here; it's Trump voters who don't see the big picture. They rallied around the idea of "corruption" when in reality they were rallying against accountable government and due process. Especially due process which was somewhat keeping Trump's croniness in check. And now that Trump is out and out breaking the emoluments clause of the Constitution they refuse to see it. They just see that this hypocrisy is driving a little over 50% of the country crazy, and that's why they voted for him; so they will remain blind to everything he does.
I can't help but suspect that it was the Skype team. Given how horribly they integrated into Microsoft Accounts, it really smells like the Skype team was hoping that Microsoft would sell them off in a year or so. It really does seem like Skype is trying keep itself siloed from the rest of Microsoft's consumer products.
It doesn't orbit the sun on the same plane as the other planets. Pluto just happens to have been an object discovered first at that distance.
I'm fine with not calling the Earth a planet, until it cleared it's path around the Sun.
I would think that the best movie would be the movie that's going to have the longest lasting impact on either culture, or the industry. I can think of a movie that's unquestionably had a huge impact on both culture, and the movie making industry, which was released in 1977, and yet did not get best picture. I realize that best picture shouldn't just go to the movie that sold the most tickets, but the academy seems to eschew movies for best picture which do bring in ticket sales. I think they'd get more respect if ticket selling movies were the top competitors for best movie.
Now that those who rebelled against education can get encouragement from others over social media, they don't want their kids to get too educated. They fear that they will have less influence over their kids than conniving, and plotting brain washers/educators. And they vote accordingly.
That sentiment would be reasonable if we were at war with Russia, but we're not. We're in Syria to fight Isis. Russia's public position is that they're in Syria to fight Isis too. The problem is that Russia is leaving Isis alone, and is kind of supporting Isis by interfering with us.
so why should they pay any more than they currently do?
I've thought a lot like that, but now I feel that pay should be tied closer to the value that the employer gets out of the employee.
Let's say that the employee is paid $15, and the employer get $17 of value out of the employee. That seems fair enough. But what if the employer gets 2x value out of the employee? 3x? 4x? 20x? 100x? What would correct for an employer taking advantage of the situation? Their capital has been sunk, the employers have already earned a return on their investment, why not let employee's get paid closer to what they're benefiting the company, even if someone would do the same work for cheaper?
They get something of monetary value. Like a car. Not something woth no monetary value, like a hug.
So it's just like purchases a pack of baseball cards, or trading cards or Pokémon cards, or a Kinder egg, or a blind bag. You know that there's something inside, but you don't know exactly what it is. You may want to keep it, or you may want to sell it. It's up to the purchaser. Under the same logic Kinder egg's need to be banned because you're purchasing something with an unknown item, which may have monetary value. You never know when a collector is going to be willing to pay money for nostalgia.
They probably have a lower max file size that Youtube. My sister mentioned having one video she wanted posted to flickr which bumped into it, but I've never hit that limit.
That's the beauty of traditional Chinese "medicine". It only works if you don't try to check to see if it actually works.
What do you call alternative medicine that works? Medicine. If it can pass double blind studies it'll be accepted as medicine and no longer be alternative, nor labeled as ancient Chinese.

What do you think going to happen to US agricultural sector when China inevitably retaliates for US torpedoing ZTE?
They'll get Congress to raise money and keep them millionaires via the Farm Bill.
You have to see the big picture here.

Make America Great Again. That President Trump sure goes out of his way for the forgotten people of America.
But it will most likely result in greater depression because they keep refusing to be honest about their diet, and find the truth to be depressing.
This must be part of Trumps 4D chess move to win a Nobel Peace prize.
Where are these not invasive?
In a world of machine learning systems, who will bear accountability for harming human rights?
The market will do that. Because if all really are equal, then meritocracy will bear it out.
Maybe it IS a good deal for the post office. But let's see that from someone without skin in the game.
You mean like the Post Master General?

We could also prevent them from voting.
yeah, but how usefull is the internet when half of it pulls out of your location??
More useful than it was before.
Same as it ever was. Same as it ever was.

You can buy a loot box with $s and have a chance to win $$$s. That is gambling.
Are they actually getting money from the loot box? Or are they getting an item that they can keep and not resell if they don't feel like it?
its always a similar toy, its not tradable for money
Really? If there's a market to purchase the toy, what prevents you from selling the toy?
You don't know the toy you'll get inside the candy? Doesn't that fit the definition of gambling?

1TB free is the primary reason why I used flickr. That and that's where all of my siblings post their pictures.
