The author had a right to express their views on those topics — we encourage an environment in which people can do this and it remains our policy to not take action against anyone for prompting these discussions.
This doesn't make it better, it makes it much worse. Internally they say that he has the right to express his views and that they encourage an environment to do so and not to take action against such people, and then fire him? Why would that make it any better?
However "offensive" the man's beliefs may be, he voiced them in an extremely organized, non-confrontational tone that is very open to discussion. Something you have failed to do.
The real reason for my comment, however, is to ask how you can believe he is anti-diversity. Like another response to your comment, I request quotations for you to back up your point. I am surprised you find him anti-diversity because literally almost the entire document is about how to make Google friendlier to more diverse opinions, and as far as sex goes, has a whole section entitled "Non-discriminatory ways to reduce the gender gap".
Warrantless searching of a person's papers is constitutionally protected. Seems like a really easy way for the charges to be dropped.
"If investigators were able to crack the phonesâ(TM) passwords within their department or through a contract, they would not necessarily have to file any additional court documents, Jennings said. Police appear to have begun searching at least one phone within a day of its seizure, CityLab reported in January."
"no additional court documents" my eye. Also, a warrant has to specifically denote where the search is to take place, and for what. A, "we will just search through all this person's electronic documents for anything that might be incriminating" is quite a huge over reach even if there were a warrant
I know if I carry around cash, it is likely to disappear. Maybe I won't get robbed, but I'll probably compulsively spend it, or I'll lose it. I am good at losing things. If I lose my credit card? $10 to replace it. Compulsively buy things on my credit card? I'll feel much more hurt at the end of the month when I go through my purchases.
Cash definitely should not be banned or rejected, and I will use it on occasion for specific things, but I feel much safer with plastic.
So the correct answer to the problem would be to complain to the states' own legislatures, which are supposed to be more responsive to their constituents than federal organizations anyway.
I started reading/describing this article to an accountant friend of mine, and she immediately said, "I am willing to bet money it is a money laundering scheme"
While I doubt that *all* of these types of apps are a laundering scheme, it makes sense: buy a whole bunch of itunes gift cards, and launder it through the app store. The cut that apple takes? Eh, not that much when you consider the efficiency of other laundering schemes. And as a bonus, you might also get some money on the side from stupid people also installing your app.
To be completely honest, "promoted posts" or even straight-up ads don't really bother me; what bothers me is all of the recent news articles saying they are full of malware.
I do not know how facebook plans on pushing ads through, but the obvious way would be for them to host them on their own system.
Does this mean that the ads will not be virus payloads? If that is the case, my ad blocker accomplished its mission.
I have an idea, how about we instead make a change.org petition to have The DC Extended Universe movies be better written? That would solve TWO problems!
A better headline would be "WhatsApp Isn't Securely Deleting Its 'Deleted' Chats"
Most file systems don't overwrite deleted data until the space is needed again. This is expected behavior.
Of course, this is a flaw that should be fixed- especially that any backups would be able to see everything- but this doesn't look to be a "backdoor" or anything nefarious in WhatsApp.
My primary browser is currently Vivaldi, but I have recently started the search again for a new one because it seems that after a couple hours of youtube my computer cannot do anything... Which just means that I still mostly run chromium extensions
Adguard AdBlocker I am not super picky about my ad blocker, and I generally leave acceptable ads turned on for blockers that support it
Ghostery Privacy matters, and I am suspicious about the many trackers that are all over everywhere...
Magic Actions for Youtube This one is probably my favorite- I get volume control with my scroll wheel, it can disable autoplay, force the html5 player, and really why I use it: I can resize my browser window, and it will fullscreen the youtube video only to that browser window! I used to do this by modifying the url to have "embed" in it, but this only worked on some videos and did not let me undo it to look at the comments. Also available for firefox
Best video downloader 2I haven't used this in a while, so I don't know if it will still work, but this is the only youtube video downloader I have found that works on chromium-based browsers. Firefox, on the other hand, has very many in their add-ons store.
The globally popular mobile game hasn't launched yet in South Korea
Makes sense; it hasn't released worldwide yet, but
the use of Google Maps is restricted in South Korea
... which means that until this changes, it can't ever be released in South Korea; Pokemon Go uses Google Maps as an important integral part of the game!
How would using a plastic card be any different? Unless you use a different credit card every time or use cash for everything, the companies track you through your credit card number.
Yes we should be wary of spying and tracking and youhaveit, but let's not delude ourselves that this technology isn't decades old already.
I don't ever watch tv, but I do watch a lot of youtube. Anything that has a lot of action, like video game videos, or anything that involves normal human interaction, watch on normal speed. For sure.
I also, however, watch a lot of content that is really just a face talking to the camera. Someone conveying informatipn by talking. I watch a lot of these videos at 1.25x and 1.5x speed. Occasionally when there is a video that isn't super interesting and I'm more scanning it, 2x speed. I'd really like if youtube also had a 1.75x speed. Knowing that there are addons to do this is very attractive to me.
Just to bring up information- I (being a Chase bank customer) recently discovered Chase QuickPay- it makes it relatively easy (and free) to send money to people. I am not entirely sure how it works for someone who does not have a Chase account, but they claim to be a part of "clearXchange" which a quick google search shows cooperation between many American banks.
So person-to-person does exist in the US. For free. The banks probably were worried about competing with Facebook's system
must be a very old memory... Opera has been free (ad supported) since 2000 and actually free since 2005. Wikipedia claims Opera's funding comes from the default search engine at least. Your question is totally valid...
Slashdot Mirror
It is formatted way better than Gizmodo's is too. Why didn't they just publish this?

This is the same logic I use to justify why I don't put all my cash in the same bank.
FTFY. Now it actually is good advice
I have used Ghostery for a very long time on my desktop browsers; it works amazingly. Is there any real reason why mobile browsers don't do add-ons?

Obviously not an academic or even really an opinion source, but a funny commentary on that...
College Humor video for you. Enjoy

I was going to vote this up (using vivaldi right now, it's a great browser!) but decided to clear up a misconception instead:
Vivaldi uses blink, not presto, unfortunately. There are no current browsers using presto.
It makes me sad Opera has slid so far. Probably smart of them to sell.
"this technology" being "tracking you as a consumer by what you buy with plastic in our stores"
I should have known better- I came here about to get all upset. Good thing I read the summary before commenting...
Doesn't this also put the current employee who shared the password in hot water too?

I am all for parody, but isn't claiming to be supported by the organization you are parodying a bit much?

Yet, sadly, it seems samsung has abandoned their Note line of tablets; I was hoping for them to go this direction :/

I'll take the bait-
sources cited? It's been a while since I've done a project on this, but I'd like to see this evidence of 'non-randomness of white noise' you speak of
