How is this any different than being herded like fucking cattle?
It seems like any time there's a trade between personal responsibility and autonomy for safety/efficiency -- It's never for the benefit of the everyday person. Regardless of how it's spun.
They'll have to pry my cold, lifeless hands off of my steering wheel.
1. it's a plan by big-caffeine to further entrench themselves as a survival necessity. 2. SJW's by definition do not work, outside of the 5 hour sinecure/work study their department has them do (if they actually had jobs, they might focus their energies there instead.)
you know, with the amount of money they're able to extract via high frequency trading; just imagine what they'd be able to do with wide fluctuations in BTC prices and extremely long transaction times.
(Though the upside is big players like goldman might bring some stability to the price swings, due to the aforementioned high frequency trading algos)
Sooo... you as a consumer have the right to repair the things you buy.. gotcha, i'm with you on that. Encryption, or other means to explicitly defeat your repairing of the device seems like a really dick move -- but legislating that will absolutely lead to unforeseen consequences.
(as a right winger, you're okay with the government stepping in and telling businesses how to design their products? how do you reconcile that?)
The sane option here is don't support apple by continuing to buy their products. It sucks, and it's not as a satisfying.. but.. yeah.
it's funny though, the younger crowd will accept lower wages than the 40+ oldsters, but in terms of total cost for the employer, the older guys are almost certainly cheaper. For the same reason outsourcing dev work to india is more expensive in the long run.
HR goons and MBA's are the worst thing to happen to the US economy since... I don't know, get off my lawn.
Yes, gold would still have value. it is something everyone on the face of the planet is conditioned to covet -- and that would take generations to change..
(if ever, as we tend to covet things that are hard to acquire, regardless of their actual utility)
I think this day in age that saying has another, more sinister meaning... in light of constant data breaches, wikileaks and similar, or really - the distributed nature of the internet in general, information wants to be free, and will always find a way to go public.
foobar2000 (NFI) seems like a pretty solid replacement for winamp.. if you want a barebones player that doesn't do a bunch of nonsense like album art, social bullshit, or recommendations.
I dunno.. i mean innocent people losing their lives is a bad thing regardless of the diplomatic relationship with the country. I'd rather not have people die due to a tit for tat mentality.
You know though, give those inmates access to an internal only WoW server or something similar, and the real problems in prisons would probably be relieved a bit. Basically giving them something to do with the hours and hours and hours of intense boredom. Other than you know; plan escapes, how to murder each other or a guard.. that sort of stuff.
(In before prison should be a literal hell on earth and that prisoners should be made to suffer and be sodomized 24/7 regardless of their original crime.)

then it might actually be useful as a medium of exchange.
hopefully the situations in those countries improves and they can all go home.

That's.. not really what I do... Perhaps you're thinking of backpage.com?
sufficiently advanced satire is indistinguishable from idiocy.
i'll one-up you. i've legally changed my name to "blockchain supermcawesome". i'm getting job offers left and right via linkedin.
you have that backwards, he's verizon's shit.

Only if i get to have Quiet too.
a digital fedora, as it were.
do you accept caps? I found a crate of nuka-cola in a file cabinet out in primm.
exactly.. the environment that allows bitcoin to exist in the first place is absolutely reliant on the stability brought by government.
Economic collapse -> rioting, looting, mayhem..
hard currency, gold, guns/ammo .. that's what you'd need.. not fancy math problem pretend-bux.

You could probably snag a Nokia Lumia from target or amazon or something and save several hundred dollars; provided those are actual needs.
well no, the iPhone would throttle down to 486 dx2 speeds after a few minutes.. but hey, you'd be able to play commander keen pretty well.

Smells like shill in this thread, jesus christ. It's a messaging app, not the second coming.
heh, so it does. it's just one of the first things i turned off -- set and forget it would seem.

just a simple, barebones mp3 player.
