"What I do not support is, under the guise of immigrant reform, a process pushed by large corporations which results in more unemployment and lower wages for American workers...."
"Furthermore, as someone who was led to believe that what economics was about was supply and demand, if you need workers in a certain area, you need to raise wages. I have a hard time understanding the notion that there's a severe need for more workers from abroad when wages for these jobs rose only 4.5 percent between 2000 and 2011. You see stagnant wages for high skilled workers, when these companies tell you that they desperately need high skilled workers. Why not raise wages to attract those workers?"
Is it more plausible that Apple is trying to upsell you, or that the RIAA demands high royalties for accessing music-related facts a la carte outside of the contracts they have made for Apple Music?
Gains through productivity is *the entire point of capitalism*. Markets converge on the allocations of goods and services with the most productivity, so that the market as a whole ends up with more than it started.
If you don't believe in productivity gains, then you don't believe in capitalism.
Under the DMCA, filing the counterclaim should have gotten the video restored and gotten YouTube out of the middle of the dispute. Any further claim by Sony would required them to take action against Mitch Martinez directly.
So among all of the other problems with this case, YouTube is in violation of the DMCA.
I think that subverting the emergency response plan worked out ahead of time with emergency services and switching to an ad hoc procedure invented by random untrained people on the spot in the heat of the moment would be a more effective cock blocking technique.
"But seriously the (r) and (c) symbols... pray you never need type that in on someone elses laptop computer with an international keyboard and no numeric pad or a smartphone keyboard... etc."
The particular symbols are not important, they are just to appease any password strength algorithm. The actual value of that kind of password comes from the string of words than can be meaningful to the user without being statistically prominent.
Note that Bruce Schneier doesn't actually debunk it, he just assert that it is bad.
Compare that with the "Schneier Scheme" "take a sentence and turn it into a password." He thinks of a sentence and takes the initial letter for long words, the whole word for short words, a digit for number words or homophones of number words, and and a arbitrary list of some other manipulations. However, from a brute force perspective this is functionally equivalent to always writing out whole words since a password brute force algorithm and just as easily apply those deterministic manipulations in constant time. In addition, starting from a sentence constrains the word choice by the rules of grammar for language used. For a given number of words, the sentence is less random than the non sentence. The user must also remember which manipulations were used and not used, while it is no more difficult for the brute forcer to just try everything in its list of manipulations.
"So, your argument is that experiments have shown that people get nervous when presented with a lot of choices, therefore we should eliminate as many unnecessary choices as possible"
I will thank you to note that I have made no argument at all about the proper number of choices, which makes your assertion that I have done so a LIE.
I will also thank you to note that I made no suggestion that all people should be treated as if they had an anxiety issue. I acknowledge that you did not directly claim I had made such a suggestion, only implied it, however I had not mentioned anxiety issues at all so the problem is still with your rhetorical failings.

If you are not willing to design and fabricate your own SoC and build a phone around it then I guess you don't really care about privacy.
" Most people do not want to live in high density urban centers."
Nobody lives there. It's too crowded.

" that's the cost of not paying on time."
Not even once has a debt collector who has called my phone even been trying to reach me, let alone for a debt that I had actually incurred.
"Who cares"
People who recognize that speeding up A is the equivalent to slowing down not A care.
On the other hand, the only way to lose weight is through your lungs.
"Youtube has no obligation"
Under the DMCA, YouTube does have an obligation to restore content on receipt of a counterclaim.
Under the DMCA, filing the counterclaim should have gotten the video restored and gotten YouTube out of the middle of the dispute. Any further claim by Sony would required them to take action against Mitch Martinez directly.

The alternative is to preemptively take over the mall's CCTV.
"a large number of choices isn't a bad thing."
You can't refute the observable results of actual choice paralysis experiments by saying "nah".

The guy stuck trying to converge a path with 5 cycles of clock skew cares a heck of a lot.
It could not possibly be that the relative merits of PowerPC and X86 changed over time.

Because you need to define what a taxi is... such as having a meter.
