a couple years, more than a few years ago, until they billed me without my consent. I dropped their shit that day and never looked back and sent them shitty email where I got a form letter effectively telling me to fuck off.
The variety of their music when you listen to something eclectic isn't great (I found out once you could open an xml in there somewhere and it would show you the next several songs that it was going to play for a given channel which made it even more predictable).
My wife, however, still uses the free ad version sometimes.
are about how to stop them from using the phones with 0 mention of the $15 2 minute privatized prison hellscape nightmare.
Yea, some of these people are hardened career criminals but not all and the exploitation of these people who are already being punished by society should be criminal itself. This is literally a captive audience and even worse than the cable monopolies in your area.
I can't speak for Maine but I work in K-12 in the midwest. The goal is very simply to hire as few teachers as possible at as low pay as possible.
They've given a small carrot and a lot of sticks to getting rid of the older higher paid (and experienced teachers). They've completely gutted teacher's unions with legislation the only thing they're good for at all anymore is suing and even that is questionable.
They're using things like Edgenuity which is supposed to be used primarily for remediation in place of real classes with teacher's aids (aka babysitters) instead of people who can actually answer kid questions. There are other programs in the same vein which came before.
Most of the time the illegal practice of having a non-licensed teacher "teach" a class is to put a licensed teacher as the "teacher of record" while never having that person actually set foot in a class room.
I've literally seen sales people tell teachers with 30 years experience how they should be teaching their class because kid failures are automatically assumed to be solely the teacher's fault and the state assigned "partner" is just there to make all the money they can before skipping town.
Kids can literally copy and paste questions in to Google verbatim and get answers. There are phone apps that you can take a picture of a math question and be given the answer. Kids can and will cheat - especially the ones who don't want to be there which is the overwhelming majority. Many don't even care enough to do that anymore and will just put their heads down on their desks and wait for the day to be over. I'm not exaggerating.
We have more tablets/laptops/lab machines than students and they're not a panacea. You know what the higher performing public schools have over the ones that don't? Interested parents and a culture that supports them vs parents who are worse than their kids to deal with.
It's a race to the bottom and there are a lot of factors. Greed and corruption both inside and outside the education realm are up there.

How about the the consent of the people who live there? What if I don't want to be bitten by your experiment? You say it's harmless? So Fucking What, I didn't sign up for that shit. Someone needs to watch Jurassic Park.
anything. You would have to prove malice. This was clearly an accident and something they should have been able to recover from.
Firing? Whatever, I'm assuming this is America we're talking about where I can fire you because I don't like your fucking ankle socks and you have 0 recourse.

basically trying to ape Yelp. I had never heard of it either until they bought the excellent Urbanspoon and it ceased to exist with a massive drop in quality in the Zomato husk which remained.
They would have menus/reviews from locals/restaurants by locale and known names. It has some of those things still just very poorly done compared to what I loved about Urbanspoon. I'm assuming they bought out other competitors as well to make this shitty Yelp wannabe.
This is pure click bait... Reminds me of "Premise Beach" skits from The Kids in the Hall. If these people are being serious, that must be one hell of an echo chamber.
You know, there are already people who have been diagnosed with a disorder and would like to monitor their own health more closely to make sure the treatments they're receiving are actually working for example, monitoring O2 levels over night when you have apnea to make sure the machine you have is actually doing something.
Stop feeling bad for teaching an exceedingly important lesson about real life.
Your next step should have been to show them how to disable/avoid/mitigate as much as possible and show them why their privacy/freedom/security matter not some kind of purposeless guilt.
Also, it's quite likely the spy was their parents not their gov't in that case but I digress.

There is a reason Google is one of the corporations throwing a fuck load of money at self-driving cars; namely a captive audience.
Does it mean over a certain age? Does it mean retired? Does it mean no longer sexually active or interested?
I think that not having to work would make me substantially happier. I've yet to work a job I liked.
pfsense + pfblockerng + DNSBL + multiple good sources = no ads.
I don't have to do anything but press play on youtube on my tv and never see anything but the video I came to see.
I have a CPAP, I already have to submit an SD card to them routinely to continue getting the insurance to cover medical supplies. Guess what's next?

Hold them accountable. Those C level assholes at Equifax should be facing serious jail time. But we all know they won't.
AND want you to watch ads? Huh. That sounds familiar for some reason ... and equally odious.

Papa Johns is horrible shit - they just know what you want to hear and spam that; like Trump.

If I had mod points they'd be yours.
The goal of all of this shit should be to eliminate as much work as possible for the good of everyone but our economic system will not allow for that.
Our technological evolution has far outpaced our societal evolution and I mean globally not just America.
