Have you seen how voting works in Massachusetts? They don't have that information. They only have name, address, party affiliation and whether or not the person voted. Our name is simply crossed off a list by hand. Then, we take a ballot from a stack of ballots, fill it out and feed it into a machine.
Clever word crafting. They want to soften the blow of invasive privacy violations with the word "traditional". Traditional surveillance is a stake-out, or phone tapping with a warrant. Traditional surveillance is not monitoring all communication and movement of the entire citizenry.
Great. You're and entrepreneur. So add the cost of being sick into the price of providing your service. Just like employees consider paid time off when negotiating compensation. Boo hoo, the entrepreneurial risk-taker bemoans the downside of risk.
I was looking through the text of the game and came across this gem:
270 A dark fog creeps in to surround you. From somewhere in the fog you 270 hear a stern voice. "This Adventure has been tampered with! You have 270 been dabbling in magic, knowing not the havoc you might cause thereby. 270 Leave at once, before you do irrevocable harm!" The fog thickens, 270 until at last you can see nothing at all. Your vision then clears, 270 and you find yourself back in The Real World.
>>So just to be clear, there are more verified people sharing progressive views, and you think that's elitist? Who said that there are more verified people sharing progressive views? The "verified" thing as a whole appears elitist. I didn't say it is per-se, just objectively I can see how it would look that way. I wasn't even arguing with you. I was simply saying how it looks.
I noticed that they dropped the "news for nerds" tag line. In any case, when a major non-technical event occurs, some of us nerds like to see a discussion from the perspective of the tech community. This is big enough to warrant that.
I'm unambiguously Liberal, and to me there is an appearance of elitism. I'm not necessarily among those droves who you say would be leaving Twitter, but I certainly don't typically comment on high profile posts, simply because I know it would be a waste of time, as my reply would quickly get drowned out by blue-checked accounts who rise to the top quickly. I never said this was unjust or even a problem, but it definitely is a reality.
It does look elitist. I'm not so sure that it's a nefarious scheme so much as a by-product of a sorting algorithm. It would be nice to be able to easily sort those responses. When showing replies to a Tweet, Twitter prioritizes the verified accounts, as they are typically more visible (more followers see and like their replies). We see them first, even if we have no clue who the person is. For high profile accounts, like the president, there is bound to be thousands of responses. If even a small percentage of those are "blue checks", they tend to drown out the other responses. Their voice gets a priority. It can be pretty tiring, especially when the first few people responding have multiple replies. They appear to be "hogging" the comments.
I found that often, even though we are paying Prime fees for free shipping, the shipping fees are still often reflected in the cost of the item. I don't know why I keep Prime. They seem to be double dipping at times. When you search for the same item and find it for a lower price, it's likely a non-prime item, and often the price difference is pretty much in the ball park of the 2-day shipping cost.
It's against the TOS for the user to let another access their account via the password. I didn't see anything in there about being on the receiving end. I would say it's implied, but it's not explicit. So security would be effectively forcing the user to violate the agreement with Facebook. Not sure how that plays out legally, but I'm assuming Facebook has every right to terminate their account for complying with the security check.
Here's the clause:
"You will not share your password (or in the case of developers, your secret key), let anyone else access your account, or do anything else that might jeopardize the security of your account. You will not transfer your account (including any Page or application you administer) to anyone without first getting our written permission."
I wondered the same thing. I understood that the battery itself wasn't the problem, but Samsung's insistence on making the device as small as possible, taking away clearance space that the battery otherwise needs to operate safely and efficiently.
What about the body's flora and immune system? Today, we have to get all sorts of shots before visiting certain foreign countries. Could it be that the future version of one's own country would be just as foreign in terms of whatever pathogens are common? Could the newly-revived body be ill-equipped to face this?

But they email you all the time.

Is it you?
That makes sense. By preventing others from doing it, Best Buy will not be able to prevent consumers from searching Amazon.com.

These are not exclusive to one another and both can be true.

I prefer my measurements in metric assloads for volume, shit-tons for weight, and Libraries of Congress for data.

It's not brain surgery.
And doubles the price increase from those sellers... suspiciously equal to the cost of the "free" shipping you paid for w/ Prime.
From third-party-sellers begging for reviews.
As a hypochondriac I'd be scared to take this test. Best case, I have one or all of these diseases. Worst case, I have no clue what I'm dying from.

You can still make up to five comedy reviews a week. Not all is lost.

Good luck with that.
